Moe’s daughter wrote about her childhood. She said growing up with Moe and her “uncles “ was a child’s dream. They were kind but always cutting up for the kids.
I grew up watching The 3 Stooges, and I never once thought it was ok to slap someone, let alone poke them in the eye. If only they made shows like this today.
Good for you, but we have people doing the Tide Pod Challenge because of TikTok. Even simulated violence can't be shown due to assheads wanting to protect the stupid from winning their Darwin Awards.
Here's two-sies!! 😅 Agree, Lightmane... same with the Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote. I never once thought about running off a cliff, lol. But... for some reason people think kids have to be protected from these shows?? It was just fun, brilliant, wholesome FUN!!! Part of our great childhoods!
I still watch the 3 Stooges. Back in 74 some friends drove cross country. Larry was still alive, and they visited him at a nursing home and spent some time with him.
Watching The 3 Stooges along with Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry was my childhood and then decades later, I got my kids hooked on them. I bought all the DVD’s of the stooges and when my boys moved out, the DVD’s went with them.
I've only heard about these guys before, so many references to the 3 Stooges around but no visual connection to them. No wonder they were popular, this had me cracking from the first sight of them! Thank you Jamal for spreading this outside the US, and I hope there's more to come!
And then there's this guy named Charlie Chaplin. World famous. And the there's this guy named Buster Keaton, the great "stone face". Arguably even funnier. And W. C. Fields. And a little known violinist named Jack Benny. They were giants in those days.
@@jeffreyjeziorski1480 oh yes; absoluteley, I know Jamel didn't mention "Laurel & Hardy" but 20's was an absoletely dynamic & Pioneering era, esp. with slapstick, Shemp Fine who replaced curly was a known actor already, and Laurel Hardy, kind of paved the way for Abott Costello, All the ones you mentioned Jeffrey, would only add Hal Roach Studios "Our Gang" and Harold Lloid he did stunts that know one has come close too except maybe Tom Cruize imho
can't leave out Marx brothers, lol; you know how it is when you start namin' names, sure theirs prob a multitude I left out, but those stand out to me right now
A&C were doing their routines on the Vaudeville circuit, during the 1930s, then got their break into motion pictures with Buck Privates. Stooges kinda came up the same way, but although they wanted to do feature films, they were delegated to comedy "Shorts" for nearly their whole careers. Shemp Howard appeared in a couple of A&C movies.
@@jason60chev good info, right "Shemp Howard," Curly & Mo'es brother, I had a brain cramp early called him "Fine" that was Larrys last name. true alot of the early commedians got their start on the Vaudeville circuit.
The Three Stooges were First!!! This took place around 1936!!! I have the Whole Stooges Collection!!!! The Stooges were the KINGS of Slapstick Comedy!!!!
In the mid seventies I was visiting my Granny from out of state. Every afternoon The Three Stooges would air on her tv. They came on and she visibly shuddered. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “They make me nervous.” she answered. Haha. Always think of that kind, sweet soul when I see these three.
When I was a kid during the 70's, my older brother (by 10 yrs), would wake me up on the weekends in the middle of the night to watch Abbot and Costello, the Stooges, etc. Best. Upbringing. Ever.
When they show the first row crowd shot while Larry and Curly are using Moe as a musical instrument, the gentleman on the far right is Moe and Curly's father.
Been a fan of the Three Stooges since I was a kid, love them. Thanks for posting this, if you do another do the one where they play doctors in a hospital called Men in Black, it's great.
The first official Three Stooges short was "Woman Haters" in 1934 although they had existed in one form or another since around 1930 or so. Abbott & Costello came onto the scene in 1940 and lasted until 1956 (Lou Costello died in 1959). The original offical Three Stooges (starting in 1934) were Moe Howard, his baby brother Jerome ("Curly") Howard, and their friend Larry Fine. Curly's career ended with his massive stroke in 1946 and brother Samuel ("Shemp") Howard filled in until his own death in 1955. Joe Besser replaced Shemp for about 2 years, and finally, Joe DeRita became the last "Stooge" replacement from 1958 until the full trio's act ended in 1970. Most Stooges fans agree that the original line-up (starting in 1934) of Moe, Larry, and Curly were, by far, the funniest shorts. There were a number of very funny shorts with Shemp early on, but neither Shemp nor those shorts were nearly as funny as the ones with Curly (with perhaps a few exceptions). (By the way, Curly had NO training as an actor and very little experience as a comedian; many of his reactions were ad libbed by him during the filming of the shorts). I believe you can find "Malice in the Palace" and "Sing a Song of Six Pants" in the public domain (both are with Shemp but both are hilarious!) The Stooges were nominated only once for an Academy Award, for the short "Men in Black" (where they portray doctors).
So fun fact. Curly's grandson Curly G has a youtube channel and goes live every thusday afternoon(6ish. PM.west coast) and they do loads of stuff . Curly G puts out Stooge videos of his current set of Stooges. Moe and Larry thru in a small history thing of counting from 75 to 76. The spirit of 76 was about the American Revolution. Love it Keep it coming ma man!
This one is my favorite! The best line is when the lawyer tells Curly to drop the vernacular (slang) while he is testifying, holding his hat in his lap. "Vernacular?! That's a doibee!"... Does anybody else think the defense lawyer looks like a grown-up Spanky from the Little Rascals!?
Abbot and Costello were active from 1935 - 1957; the Stooges were active from 1922 - 1970, so they're roughly contemporaneous. Both acts got their start in vaudeville. Abbot and Costello were two people who worked well together, though it's said they didn't like each other personally. The Stooges were the Howard brothers (Moe, Shemp [who swapped in and out of the act], and Jerome, aka Curley) and Larry Fine, who was a cousin. The Stooges were always very careful with their physical comedy. When Moe did his 'eye poke', he always aimed for the brow ridge, so there was no chance of damaging Larry's eyes. Larry was a comedy violinist before he joined his cousins in the act. There was a TV movie made about them in 2012 that might interest you. It's available through UA-cam Movies & TV.
Me and my grandfather used to sit around and watch old clips of The 3 Stooges before he passed away in the beginning of 2016!!! My favorite stooge was Curly and I couldn't stop laughing because of him!!!
I was literally born into the Three Stooges. My mom's stepdad was a "dirty" comedian, shock laughs. Mom and I would go to her parent's house and have movie/dinner night. I've only seen this in black and white on a VHS tape "I'd" record these on daily. It literally brought me to tears. The black n' white, my grandpa... I'm glad you enjoyed it. Good slapstick is hard to come by these days.
Thank you so much for this; I needed this laugh tonight! Grew up loving the Stooges on tv in the 60's; found a man who loved them as much as I did. We even had the "Stooges Medley" played instead of the song, "The Bride Cuts the Cake" at our wedding. Laughed SO much. If you want to see the Stooges at their funniest, I recommend any short that has "pie throwing".... and I believe there are excellent compilations of their pie throwing here on UA-cam. I love watching your videos; you are such a bright light in my day! Bless you.
Each Stooges short lists a director. I've always figured he had the easiest job in Hollywood. I can see him now: "okay, do something stupid." Then, after about 15 minutes, "alright, that's enough. It's a rap."
Many things in court, like the deceased Curt Robin (from a nursery rhyme, Who Shot Cock Robin), and Buck Wing (a famous dance step) were references to famous things of that era.
Wow the colorization in this is amazing! I grew up watching these which were way before my time even, and it was all black and white. Sometimes you'd run across one that had been colorized but it wasn't really very good. You'd rather watch him in black and white. But this looks amazing!
Agree; it's weird watching a colorized version of the Stooges! As a kid, I used to watch with dad; mom thought they were 'vulgar' but then, most things were vulgar to my mom! Miss them both. And the Stooges!
Fun fact, at 11:01-11:03, you can see Moe's and Curly's father, Solomon, in the crowd. He's in the front row to the far right (the older gentleman with the beard and mustache). One of the few times the Stooges' family got to cameo in a short (another was Moe's and Larry's daughters in 'Pop Goes the Easel'. The two girls playing hop scotch are Joan and Phyllis, and then Curly in 'Hold That Lion', a rare moment the three Howard brothers were on screen together). Always a fun fact to share to anyone getting into the Stooges.
I grew up watching these guys and I WILL NEVER STOP BEING A FAN !! These guys make me laugh so hard !! 😂 But it's got to be the main 4 - Moe, Larry, Shemp and Curly. Original O.G.s of laughter !! 👍
Louis Feinberg aka Larry Fine was an accomplished violinist. Moses Horowitz aka Moe Howard and his brothers, Samuel Horowitz aka Shemp Howard, and their youngest brother, Jerome Horowitz aka Curly Howard. Shemp left Stooges for other things, but he returned to Stooges after Curly suffered many strokes and unable to performed the acts. At 48, Curly died in 1952. Shemp died in 1955 at 60. Both Larry and Moe had other comics stepped in the act until 1975 when both Larry and Moe died.
Shemp was the older brother, followed by Moe, and then Curly. "Hold That Lion" is the only Three Stooges short that has the three Howards and Larry Fine. The man with a full head of hair, asleep, with his derby over his face to be removed by Larry is Curly. Shemp Howard 1895-1955 Curly Howard 1903-1952 Larry Fine 1902-1975 and 4 mos later... Moe Howard 1897-1975
There has always been a constant in my life. If I'm down, sad, angry, frustrated, or anything negative, I watch some Three Stooges and the world gets right again.
0:17 - 0:19/ Actually, The Three Stooges were way before Abbot & Costello! Officially, A&C first appeared in the 1941 comedy film BUCK PRIVATES. The Three Stooges were doing Columbia Shorts since their 1934 debut in WOMAN HATERS. Before that, they toured with comedian Ted Healy as His Southern Gents. I believe they did a film with him around 1929, just as sound was being used for motion pictures!❤
Three Stooges was part of our morning ritual when I was a little kid. You’d get up, get dressed, and get some cereal and watch. Then, right as the show was ending, we’d hear the school bus coming.
It’s really amazing that these movies are 70-80+ years old, and I’ve seen them all dozens of times, but they all still make me laugh. The impact these men had on the comedy world is immeasurable. Go watch them all!!!
I remember watching the three stooges after school with friends of mine and drinking coffee (I was in 2nd grade Ann Arbor, MI) still watch to this day.
I won’t date a woman who doesn’t like the Beatles. The women I’ve dated who prefer the Stones over the Beatles are the more independent, unsympathetic, self centered, hard ass types. I just release those back to the streets from whence they came. 😂 Disclaimer: I actually like the Stones.
There was a tv movie made about them in the late 80's- early 90's it was pretty sad how the studios made promise after promise for them to do movies and all they were ever allowed to do was these 15 min shorts. They had no idea how popular they were until tv started showing them and kids became such huge fans. It showed Moe being invited to the taping of one of these kid shows where they showed their old shorts and the kids went crazy when he walked out on stage it brought him to tears.
Back in 2012 they made a Three Stooges Movie, and you might want to check it out. The actors they got nailed their characters, and while it's not exactly Academy Award caliber stuff, it is pretty funny - if you like the Stooges like I do.
"Controlled chaos," a perfect way to describe the lost form of entertainment called "Vaudeville." Most people don't pick up on the absolutely perfect timing that these guys nail on every prat-fall, one-liner, & setup; but you took notice right away & you're right: if a physical gag wasn't executed within a fraction of a second, someone could have been seriously hurt. The Howard Brothers (Moe, Curly [Jerome], & at various times Shemp) & comic musician Larry Fine rehearsed, innovated, & refined their act so well that they were unflappable in the "trial by fire" that was Vaudeville. They were live performances that traveled all over the country, similar to a circus, & the hours & travels were grueling. A lot of other comic acts, like Abbot & Costello, Laurel & Hardy, & the Marx Brothers, had to often work on-the-fly & perfecting the practice of improv was the determining factor of whether you swam or sank. Suffice to say that the Stooges' act was Olympic-level across the board. Their success in short-form films was a seamless transition.
Jamel… If Abbott & Costello’s classic “Who’s on first?” was able to stay up, it’s highly doubtful you’d have any problems or issues with the 3 Stooges. I could binge watch them all day, all week, all month etc 🫵😂👍
@@tomswoodwork … I don’t know about you, but for me personally, I find many of the great comedians from the past so much funnier than those on the scene today & if wasn’t for guys like the Stooges & Abbott & Costello, the slapstick style of comedy those greats brought to us from back then would be almost nonexistent today.
lol funny stooge reaction Jamel! Disorder in the court has always been one of the best stooges shorts! A little piece of trivia for ya, right at 11:01, the man sitting in the front row, 2nd from the right facing the camera, is Solomon Horwitz! Moe, Curly and Shemps father!!
Two of my favorites are "Idle Roomers" with a great mirror gag and "If a Body Meets a Body" with another parrot and a skull. The Stooges had a mix of comedy styles. They had slapstick for the low brow set and wordplay for the more sophisticated types. When I was a kid back in the 70s and 80s, I had an uncle who had lots of movies on the old reels. When we visited, he'd get out the projector and we'd watch some Three Stooges and other movies like King Kong, Dracula, and others.
I remember playing some of their tricks and stunts on my unsuspecting sister with our oldest brother, we got a whipping and had to go to bed, our argument wasthat the Three Stooges did it, it was funny, lol. Sis has forgiven us, lol.
Back in the late 70s- early 80s, we had something called the midnight movies at local cinemas. 3 Stooges shorts like this and then it was Pink Floyd live in Pompeii or Led Zep Song Remains the Same, or The Who "Tommy"...
If I remember correctly, the Shooges first appeared on TV on channel 7 WNAC Boston MA, on a Saturday morning while I was eating Corn Flakes. It was a long time ago, so I could be wrong. Unlike the kids today, I'm lucky enough to have had a childhood on Saturday mornings.
Intermittently between 14:55 - 15:05, if you look behind Moe, Larry and Curly while they’re standing behind the bird cage, just behind them to the right, you catch a couple of quick glimpses of Moe and Curley’s parents sitting in the front row (Sol and Jenny Horwitz).
Three Stooges were around from the 20's, 30's and 40's mainly did movie shorts. They were played as shorts in movie theaters back then in 20's/40's but thru even early 60's . We used to go to movies then on Saturday matinees for kids we seen a 3 Stooges short or even a newsreel or cartoons were also played before the main feature did. What a bargain for a buck included drinks, popcorn and a candy bar. then they played 3 Stooges on TV often in the 60s into the 70's . I watched them after coming home from school . Slapstick madness and crazy acting
Moe’s daughter wrote about her childhood. She said growing up with Moe and her “uncles “ was a child’s dream. They were kind but always cutting up for the kids.
Moe's dad was an extra in this short; he looked exactly like Moe but older

I don’t know why that made me cry. 😢
Watching The 3 Stooges along with Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry was my childhood and then decades later, I got my kids hooked on them. I bought all the DVD’s of the stooges and when my boys moved out, the DVD’s went with them.
And Our Gang aka "The Little Rascals"
I've only heard about these guys before, so many references to the 3 Stooges around but no visual connection to them.
No wonder they were popular, this had me cracking from the first sight of them!
Thank you Jamal for spreading this outside the US, and I hope there's more to come!
Stooges in 30's and 40's. Costello's in movies in 40's and 50'0.
its a shame kids dont grow up with them on TV anymore
Stooges dominated the 30's, first film was actually 1930, Abott & Costello appeared in the 1940's. Laurel & Hardy dominated the 1920's
And then there's this guy named Charlie Chaplin. World famous. And the there's this guy named Buster Keaton, the great "stone face". Arguably even funnier. And W. C. Fields. And a little known violinist named Jack Benny. They were giants in those days.

2:15 That lawyer was introducing "Howard, Fine, and Howard" because those were the Stooges' last names; Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard.
Looked down by high culture, still beloved today
And I loved it when they did shorts about the "Hoi Poloi", especially the pie fights!
Gail Tempest the actress playing her, was a Rockette, i believe one of the founding ones, and she lived at 10 Central Park West until she died.
If no one has said it, The Three Stooges - "Malice in the Palace". 😂

my young sons and i bust our guts laughing on saturday mornings watching the stooges! fun stuff lol
Grew up in the 60s watching the Stooges. They still remain hilarious. 100 years later.

Try stooges malice in the palace.also a riot.😂
I've been on a Stooges binge the past week or so, so this is a nice surprise.
Their humor still holds up, and all of them were comedic geniuses.
The masters of slapstick comedy.
Me and my grandfather used to sit around and watch old clips of The 3 Stooges before he passed away in the beginning of 2016!!! My favorite stooge was Curly and I couldn't stop laughing because of him!!!

My Mums favorite episode. We just watched it Saturday when I was visiting.
Wow the colorization in this is amazing! I grew up watching these which were way before my time even, and it was all black and white. Sometimes you'd run across one that had been colorized but it wasn't really very good. You'd rather watch him in black and white. But this looks amazing!
Agree; it's weird watching a colorized version of the Stooges! As a kid, I used to watch with dad; mom thought they were 'vulgar' but then, most things were vulgar to my mom! Miss them both. And the Stooges!
Fun fact, at 11:01-11:03, you can see Moe's and Curly's father, Solomon, in the crowd. He's in the front row to the far right (the older gentleman with the beard and mustache). One of the few times the Stooges' family got to cameo in a short (another was Moe's and Larry's daughters in 'Pop Goes the Easel'. The two girls playing hop scotch are Joan and Phyllis, and then Curly in 'Hold That Lion', a rare moment the three Howard brothers were on screen together). Always a fun fact to share to anyone getting into the Stooges.
I grew up watching these guys and I WILL NEVER STOP BEING A FAN !! These guys make me laugh so hard !! 😂 But it's got to be the main 4 - Moe, Larry, Shemp and Curly. Original O.G.s of laughter !! 👍
I remember watching this in B&W on vhs so many times at my grandpa’s house. This is my favorite sketch out of them all.
Just what a person needs to brighten their day
Louis Feinberg aka Larry Fine was an accomplished violinist. Moses Horowitz aka Moe Howard and his brothers, Samuel Horowitz aka Shemp Howard, and their youngest brother, Jerome Horowitz aka Curly Howard. Shemp left Stooges for other things, but he returned to Stooges after Curly suffered many strokes and unable to performed the acts. At 48, Curly died in 1952. Shemp died in 1955 at 60. Both Larry and Moe had other comics stepped in the act until 1975 when both Larry and Moe died.
The copyright date on the film's credits reads 1936. Abbott and Costello started out in 1940.
Shemp was the older brother, followed by Moe, and then Curly. "Hold That Lion" is the only Three Stooges short that has the three Howards and Larry Fine. The man with a full head of hair, asleep, with his derby over his face to be removed by Larry is Curly.
Shemp Howard 1895-1955
Curly Howard 1903-1952
Larry Fine 1902-1975
and 4 mos later...
Moe Howard 1897-1975

Every single person in this marvellous clip has long ago passed on, and yet it's like they're still with us.
I remember watching the three stooges after school with friends of mine and drinking coffee (I was in 2nd grade Ann Arbor, MI) still watch to this day.
One of my favorites
I have trust issues with folk who don't laugh at the three stooges 😂
That’s how I decide who to date lol
Well put! Also, folks who don't like dogs!
I won’t date a woman who doesn’t like the Beatles. The women I’ve dated who prefer the Stones over the Beatles are the more independent, unsympathetic, self centered, hard ass types. I just release those back to the streets from whence they came. 😂
Disclaimer: I actually like the Stones.
There was a tv movie made about them in the late 80's- early 90's it was pretty sad how the studios made promise after promise for them to do movies and all they were ever allowed to do was these 15 min shorts. They had no idea how popular they were until tv started showing them and kids became such huge fans. It showed Moe being invited to the taping of one of these kid shows where they showed their old shorts and the kids went crazy when he walked out on stage it brought him to tears.
One thing for sure, it was aptly named.
Hilarious.
Y'all be safe.
The Three Stooges were Comic Genius's......they will never be duplicated nor should they be. They were truly one of a kind.
I like them as the lawyers,
Dewy,
Skrewum,
and Howe
Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe
Ah the classics.
Back in 2012 they made a Three Stooges Movie, and you might want to check it out. The actors they got nailed their characters, and while it's not exactly Academy Award caliber stuff, it is pretty funny - if you like the Stooges like I do.
Yep. That was a great movie! And Larry David as the nun lol
Is that the one done by Curlys grandson?
@@scottregester7143 I'm not sure about Curlys grandson being involved, but it was produced/directed by the Farrelly brothers.
Watching this as a kid, I laughed sooooo hard. Loved the 3 stooges. Moe, Larry, and Curly were my favorite combination.
"Controlled chaos," a perfect way to describe the lost form of entertainment called "Vaudeville." Most people don't pick up on the absolutely perfect timing that these guys nail on every prat-fall, one-liner, & setup; but you took notice right away & you're right: if a physical gag wasn't executed within a fraction of a second, someone could have been seriously hurt.
The Howard Brothers (Moe, Curly [Jerome], & at various times Shemp) & comic musician Larry Fine rehearsed, innovated, & refined their act so well that they were unflappable in the "trial by fire" that was Vaudeville. They were live performances that traveled all over the country, similar to a circus, & the hours & travels were grueling. A lot of other comic acts, like Abbot & Costello, Laurel & Hardy, & the Marx Brothers, had to often work on-the-fly & perfecting the practice of improv was the determining factor of whether you swam or sank. Suffice to say that the Stooges' act was Olympic-level across the board. Their success in short-form films was a seamless transition.
Jamel… If Abbott & Costello’s classic “Who’s on first?” was able to stay up, it’s highly doubtful you’d have any problems or issues with the 3 Stooges. I could binge watch them all day, all week, all month etc 🫵😂👍
SORTINALY! NYUK NYUK NYUK!
@@tomswoodwork … I don’t know about you, but for me personally, I find many of the great comedians from the past so much funnier than those on the scene today & if wasn’t for guys like the Stooges & Abbott & Costello, the slapstick style of comedy those greats brought to us from back then would be almost nonexistent today.
My stomach hurts from laughing and I’ve seen this countless times!!!😂
@@TheDivayenta… We could watch these classic episodes a million times over & laugh harder each time 😂😂😂
lol funny stooge reaction Jamel! Disorder in the court has always been one of the best stooges shorts! A little piece of trivia for ya, right at 11:01, the man sitting in the front row, 2nd from the right facing the camera, is Solomon Horwitz! Moe, Curly and Shemps father!!
Horwitz
Love Disorder in the Court 😂❤❤ one of my top favorites
Pure mayhem, first to last. And everybody has a press in their house or even in the court so you can crunch somebody's head!🙂
Absolute Classic! You have a ton of good episodes to react to. Worth it
Two of my favorites are "Idle Roomers" with a great mirror gag and "If a Body Meets a Body" with another parrot and a skull.
The Stooges had a mix of comedy styles. They had slapstick for the low brow set and wordplay for the more sophisticated types.
When I was a kid back in the 70s and 80s, I had an uncle who had lots of movies on the old reels. When we visited, he'd get out the projector and we'd watch some Three Stooges and other movies like King Kong, Dracula, and others.
The three stooges were mood changers.
One of my favorites. I have it downloaded. Whenever I need a pick me up, I listen to the Curly takes the stand portion.
This has long been my favorite stooge episode. The mayhem they brought to the court just always tickled my funny bone
I remember playing some of their tricks and stunts on my unsuspecting sister with our oldest brother, we got a whipping and had to go to bed, our argument wasthat the Three Stooges did it, it was funny, lol. Sis has forgiven us, lol.
Back in the late 70s- early 80s, we had something called the midnight movies at local cinemas. 3 Stooges shorts like this and then it was Pink Floyd live in Pompeii or Led Zep Song Remains the Same, or The Who "Tommy"...
If I remember correctly, the Shooges first appeared on TV on channel 7 WNAC Boston MA, on a Saturday morning while I was eating Corn Flakes. It was a long time ago, so I could be wrong. Unlike the kids today, I'm lucky enough to have had a childhood on Saturday mornings.
Intermittently between 14:55 - 15:05, if you look behind Moe, Larry and Curly while they’re standing behind the bird cage, just behind them to the right, you catch a couple of quick glimpses of Moe and Curley’s parents sitting in the front row (Sol and Jenny Horwitz).
Horwitz
The Three Stooges were first, starting in 1922. Abbott and Costello didn't start performing together until 1935.
Every morning before school I watched the Stooges. It was my favorite show. 😄
11:02, if you look to the far right of the front bench, you can see Moe and Curly’s father Solomon.
One of my favorites.
Hey man, that’s awesome that you gave the stooges some love. Not a lot of reactors do!
I used to watch these guys on Sunday mornings from 11 to noon.
Classic comedy delivered with a slap! Priceless!
i looked forward to watching the Stooges when i came home from school each day
loved them for 60 years
I loved them as a kid
The stooges are timeless and the greatest of all time….
I grew up watching the Stooges and still love them to this day. This line up (with Curly) is by far my favorite.
A plumbing we will go . is another great episode.
Arguably, their best short.
I quote these guys at least twice a day in my comings and goings
I absolutely adore The Three Stooges. My favorite short is "If a Body Meets a Body"
Back during the eighties Jay Leno did a routine stating that the one thing that separates men from women is that men love The Stooges and women don't.
Disorder In The Court, one of my all time favorites, "Malice in the Palace" is another good one
Notice how small Curleys clothes always are....his routine at the swearing in is pure genius.
Three Stooges were around from the 20's, 30's and 40's mainly did movie shorts. They were played as shorts in movie theaters back then in 20's/40's but thru even early 60's . We used to go to movies then on Saturday matinees for kids we seen a 3 Stooges short or even a newsreel or cartoons were also played before the main feature did. What a bargain for a buck included drinks, popcorn and a candy bar. then they played 3 Stooges on TV often in the 60s into the 70's . I watched them after coming home from school . Slapstick madness and crazy acting
I always liked this episode
