Possibly the oldest tickle clip I've come across (1918)

[Interstellar]

Watched the Roscoe Arbuckle/Buster Keaton short 'Moonshine' recently, and it features a brief scene of a character tickling the sole of a woman (ending with him being kicked in the face)

You've severely butchered that URL to the point I can't get it to work.

Dude, are you okay? It was just one space. I fixed it for you.

Not sure why people break up links when there's no need to....all you need to do is remove the http stuff like this to not make it a clickable link :

And indeed an interesting find!

1918, wow. Something like 3/4 of silent films are lost forever, so to have this as an early mainstream entry makes it a real rarity. A cursory glance at YouTube turns up a couple of other quick moments in black and white films, but for Buster Keaton to be in one is a joy.

Wow, a true classic

That was an incredible scene! I think that was Snub Pollard, though.

The 2017 film The Butcher Boy has a short armpit tickle at 14:29.

Charlie Chaplin had a moment in 2016's The Floorwalker at 21:42.

[The Internet]

There are tickles going back to George Melies films of the early, early 1900s. As far as earliest here on the forum, there's stuff that goes back at least to 1913 and 1914, including a Mabel Normand clip. I never posted any of the George Melies clips (and others from that early period) because they're usually small and quick, and often just fingers under a girl's neck.
