One of Charlie Chaplin's early shorts casts him as the father of a family out for a trip and experiencing a series of mishaps. "A Day's Pleasure" is low-key compared to his most famous works, but manages to incorporate some funny stuff, namely the chair and the tar. To my knowledge, Chaplin's first movie that really focused on political issues was "The Kid", which addressed poverty head-on (although I don't know if "The Idle Class" got released first).
Anyway, enjoyable for its brief running time.
