Not The Illusion of Life

The Karnival Kid (1929) has a great opening scene where crazy, funny stuff keeps happening. It ends with a cow blowing one of those snake-like party favours at the audience. It turns into a head that rattles its eyes and tongue. The cow then does a silly, rubber-hose dance out of the scene.
