Why did they create such an era?

They didn't "create" the era. When film was first started, they didn't have the technology to hook the sound with the picture. (Nor the equipment in theaters) It was still getting started. In fact, in the early days of sound, some theaters didn't have the speakers for the movies and lost business because all the people wanted to see "talkies."

I like talkies better than mime movies, although mme movies can be really funny at times.

Yes. The early movies had little plot, but the physical comedy made it entertaining.

'Physical comedy'? *gasps* Sounds dodgy?

What does the term physical comedy mean?

It means slapstick type humor, as well as jokes that are nonverbal.

Thatey used a lot of slapstick in that; which was cleverly done.
