Wrong Again is a 1929 short comedy silent film starring Laurel and Hardy. They overhear news of a $5,000 reward for the return of the painting Blue Boy, but think the reward is for a horse named Blue Boy. When they bring the horse to the painting's owner, complications ensue.

Laurel and Hardy's putting the horse on a piano could be meant as a satire of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's 1928 film, Un chien andalou, which contains a scene of dead donkeys in pianos. However, Laurel and Hardy authority Glenn Mitchell says that while director Leo McCarey may have been aware of the avant-garde film, this similarity between the two films is probably only a coincidence. ^[1]
