Lazy Days is a 1929 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan. Produced by Hal Roach and released to theaters by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, it was the 89th Our Gang short to be released, and the third to be made with sound.

Synopsis:

A lethargic Farina lounges about, waited upon by his girlfriend Trellis and half-minding his baby brother. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang are preparing their younger brothers and sisters for entry in a baby contest - including Joe's unsubtle attempt to pass off eleven-year-old Chubby as an infant - with the prize being $50.00. When Farina learns about the contest, he slowly begins bathing and dressing his younger brother. Later, while on the way to the contest, Farina has a mishap with the stroller. After giving up and laying down to rest, he learns from Joe that there was no prize since the contest was actually held over a month ago.
