The quote of curly saying "ill never be able to make the children laugh again" really hit me. I hope there is an afterlife of some kind, and i hope he knows that even in the 90's, when i was born, he made me laugh a whole lot.
There is an afterlife. I know because it has been revealed to me in Jesus Christ. I humbly ask that you seek him and he will reveal himself to you. We have all done wrong in our lives and have fallen short of God's perfect standard of righteousness. But he came to the earth as a man in Christ and suffered a painful death to redeem us back to himself. You and I broke God's law, and Jesus paid our fine. Thats why his last words on the cross were "it is finished" it's because the debt had been paid for all mankinds' sin, and all we must do is forsake our sins, and turn away from sin toward our suffering Savior, Christ. He then gifts us with a new heart that loves goodness, I've seen him do this in my life. It's truly supernatural, if you humbly ask to know Christ and read the new testament gospels, he will truly show you who he is. Thank you and God bless you!
Loved them all but Shemp was my favorite. But they were great and I am so glad that I got to see their shorts growing up. I remember laughing until I cried, couldn't breathe or felt sick to my stomach! 😂 I still watch them today, reminisce and laugh till I cry!
The Three Stooges were a big part of my childhood. As soon as I got home from school the TV went on to catch several of their "shorts" before dinner. I'm 61 and all my peers love The Stooges. In work, three of us occasionally reminisce about one of their classic episodes. I read that Curly had a kind heart for dogs and wherever he was he always managed to come across a stray dog or two.
I have the honor of being able to say that I am related to moe, curly, and shemp. I remember being a kid and watching all their shorts and laughing for hours. I now have all their shorts on DVD and I hope their legacy and their skits live for generations to come so they all can laugh and smile.
I remember as a kid staying up late to watch/catch episodes of the Three Stooges. Till this day, I'm 36 now, those days are still some of the most memorable moments of my life. Laughing so hard till my stomach hurt or I couldn't catch my breath was a common occurrence when ever watching the show. Even today, every now and then I'll tune in to watch a few episodes and still catch my self laughing uncontrollably at times. Man, I love these guys.
All four were extremely talented, and overall, highly underrated! As a kid, I remember running home from grade school, so that I would get home in time to watch them on tv. Curly was my original favorite, but through the years, Larry has taken that spot. The laughter that have brought to many generations will last forever. God rest their souls!
They got not even a thank you from Columbia. They're physicality and their humor is top notch, to me. Absolute hilarious guys.. I will always love the 3 Stooges. Moe, Larry and Curly!
I watched The 3 Stooges as a child. I'm now almost 70 years and still love to watch them. Though as I've aged, I see another side of The Stooges. I now see just how brilliant these men were. Thank you for this video. Greg Chaney in coastal NC
I think I read in Moe's book that Jerome Howard, was a hired hand at the Howard (Horowitz) farm. He was adopted by the parents. He also was a ball room dancer prior to being Curly.
Love The Three Stooges! ❤ Curly was always my favorite, so it always saddened me that he died so young. A few months ago, I came across Curly's grandson's UA-cam channel. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. LOL 🙂 It's heartwarming to see that he is keeping the laughter alive. ❤🙂 He and some friends create videos with very Stooge-like comedy, and they also traveled the country with a live Stooges act. His name is Brad "Curly G" Server.
I discovered that when they did a PSA about the Coronovirus. The actor who played Moe in that video did a fantastic job. When I saw Curly G appear my reaction was, " He does resemble his grandfather!"
Began watching the stooges in 1958 I believe. They came to TV and our local station aired them timely just after school hours--3 shorts in one hour. Still watching them and the humor never gets old for me. Moe broke 3 ribs just after saying "Give it to me!" to Larry and Curly.
When I was a lad in the UK in the 1940s, a visit to the local cinema was a weekly must. After we had watched 'Pathe News ', followed by ' Look at Life ', the ' 3 Stooges ' would be next up and it was invariably greeted by a huge roar from the audience.
Brian I share the same experience.Saturday morning matinee at the cinema in Nottingham ( West Bridgford) Late forties early fifties .The three stooges were always greeted with much cheering.They were the greatest without a dought.Happy days!
So Far , No Other Trio has been not even close to them I got up and did good, After a deep depression that I had Before . Language Was Not an Issue for me. They make me feel better and continue with my Life Normally Good. THANK YOU GUYS from the bottom of my heart.
I remember watching these guys with my grandmother when she was alive and I was young. Now a days this comedy probably wouldn’t fly. People would complain about abuse.
I remember my parents would watch them all the time. I thought I was too cool to watch old stuff. Fast forward I been watching them for 15 years and I’m not even 30 yet. 🐐

I love all these Dudes they are the biggest realistic comedy act ever ...I'm a die hard fan..wish I could have met them😪😉🙄🤔🤷♀️❤💋❤ slap happy ..rip original stooges 💋
Funny enough, and I know people are going to think I'm lying, but I swear to God this is true, my great grandpa (from Wales) knew the stooges, and would go out and have dinner with them, I only found this out last week, and I thought it was pretty cool.
How sad that so many artist be it stage actors or musical acts are always taken advantage of and robbed by studios and companies. The story is never different.
*Moe was my stepfather's uncle so I'm biased!* I wish I could share some personal pictures of Moe and his three brothers but I can't figure out how. I can share with you that the last time Moe came to visit us, he popped his dentures out, chasing me around our house to intentionally scare me at age 6+ (successfully, I should add)! 😳 I'm new to UA-cam and am so grateful to have seen your video because I didn't know all that much about his brother's lives... 😎
I use to watch these guys with my grandma which I called her Gaga. This show was so funny! Although when they made a movie back in I believe 2012, not a lot of people liked it. It was funny to me. But my Gaga passed away on January 25, 2006. I haven’t watched these guys in a while.
I saw most of their short films from 1960 to around 1967 as a child. I never knew how badly they were ripped off, but history has revealed how lowdown and dirty hollywood was(and still is) after the way they ruined the lives of so many, like Judy Garland. This is a sad story.
My grandfather loved watching the three stooges...many times. Best TV shows ever made back in the 1940s. I've seen the other actor who replaced curly, the first curly died. But in my case all the three stooges were funny...outrageous😉
Who would have known that one of the Three Stooges named Moe had a bull cut. Right before it was renamed to _mop top_ and four boys from Liverpool made the hairstyle cool.
@@buildmorefarms1007 I guess it would be considered Los Feliz. Its a modest house. A pool was put in for his health and his niece had a seperate small living quarter.
My favorite moment was when they filled Moe up with nitrogen gas to try to inflate the liquid rubber off of him and he floated away. Curly rushed over to grab a gun so he could shoot him out of the sky and Larry walks up and says “What are you doing with that rifle? Don’t you know better than that? You might miss him! Use the shotgun!” and Curly was like “Ohhhhh”
Like many of these compilations about the Three Stooges, there are errors. Moe died 3 1/2 months after Larry, not 3 weeks later as stated in the video. And Larry was 72 when he died, not 73. As others have already said, Shemp''s return was hardly "short lived". Shemp didn't see his earnings cut in half when he returned to the act, in fact he made MORE after he returned, tax returns and payroll records have proven that. On the subject of money, the approximately 20K or so each Stooge was paid by Columbia per year equals approximately 350K a year in today's money, which was a very good income for actors who made shorts, which ranked below feature films and even B movies. And that was for a maximum of 7-8 weeks per year filming shorts. They were quite aware of their popularity as well, borne out by their many successful personal appearance tours that drew large audiences year after year. Harry Cohn never refused to give Curly time off, their shooting schedule was very light anyway. In fact, the Stooges made a fateful decision to go on a grueling two month long East Coast tour in the fall of 1945, the effects of that on Curly were obvious in their 1946 shorts. Columbia wasn't involved in those tours at all.
It's sad that people that brought such joy and laughter to people to this very day suffered so bad. I knew it was bad but wow this is worse than I imagined. I mean tragic really fits. Yeesh!
They all had a difficult history and they were great, but I have an admiration for Shemp Howard because he was one of the original Stooge, then went on to a successful solo career and then had to leave and come back to The Three Stooges because Curly got sick and also to help Moe and Larry so that these two wouldn't be unemployed and the series ended.
Shemp did agree to fill in for Curly until he was able to return, but that sadly never happened. Also, after Shemp died, moe and Larry thought of making it with just them but had Joe Besser join them as the third member of the act. But it didn't last that long and then the second Joe aka curly Joe came along and the rest was history.
Shemp wasn't JUST an original stooge with Ted Healy...He was the HEAD stooge, beating up on his little brother Moe and Larry...But after Shemp left Ted Healy's act, Moe took over as head Stooge in the Columbia shorts...so when Curly had to retire and Shemp came in to substitute, for continuity's sake, Moe had to continue as Head Stooge and beat up on his older brother Shemp as if Shemp hadn't earned his stripes...That's what family does for one another...at least, back then...
Moe's life was not tragic. He was an extremely generous and caring man. He loved his family immensely and helped them when times were tough. A brilliant man.
Well said and well put ! He invested his earnings well & had a comfortable home & life in the Toluca Lake portion of Los Angeles. He had a long happy marriage to his wife Helen & was a devoted dad to his children (Joan & Paul). He played a tough guy on the screen but in real life he had a heart of gold !
@@thinkforyourself6953 Really ? I had read in many places that Moe & his family lived in Toluca Lake but had no idea he lived near Bob Hope ! Thanks for your follow up comment ! :-)
@@jubalcalif9100 Your welcome, I did a remodel in Toluca lake many years ago on Moorpark Drive, where Bob Hope and his wife Delores moved back in the late 1930's. Moe and his brothers live in Toluca Lake close to Bobs mansion. Toluca Lake was at one time full of celebrities in the early years of the entertainment industry. Burbank had many studios.
@@thinkforyourself6953 Yes indeed ! I've read that Warner Bros and Disney studios are both located in Burbank, along with NBC's studios. And also read that one of my favorite character actors, John David Chandler (1935-2010), lived in the same apartment in Toluca Lake during most of his career.
Curly's last words hit me hard, I'm 27, they were all dead before I was born. Thanks to my dad introducing me to the Stooges early in my childhood I will always be a fan, and I think Curly would be happy to know that he was still making kids like me laugh long after his death. God, rest their souls.
@@gwill3019 It seemed that all the changes that took place with the Stooges involved the third Stooge. First, Shemp leaves the act because he was tired of Ted Healy's drinking heavily, and the poor way he treated the Stooges. Second, Curly was hired to replace him, and made 97 shorts before suffering the stroke that ended his career. Third, Shemp returned and stayed with the act until the day he died in 1955. Joe Besser was hired to take his place, then Joe DeRita was hired to replace him as third Stooge.
I love Curly, but Shemp is actually my favorite 3rd Stooge. I know, he’s not the popular choice, but if you get his style he’ll make you laugh till it hurts. Rest In Peace, boys. May you never be forgotten!
Love and respect to all the 4 stooges. I actually liked Shemp the best. He had a uniqueness all his own. Thank to moving pictures they can live forever. If the films are preserved. Unfortunately most of the silent movies made, no longer exist.
Moe, Larry, Curly (and Shemp) were the greatest comedy team that graced this planet. I'm in my 50's now and even though I have watched them my whole life I still laugh uncontrollably to this day.
Whenever I would guzzle a large bottle of water or Iced Tea, on any given summer day, I would always imagine the "glurp, glurp, glurp" sound effect ! Many were the times I'd start laughing while guzzling thinking of that sound effect.
Columbia ripping them off daily. Then cutting Shemp's pay in half, when he filled in to save the series, after Curly's death. Hollywood has been a gang of thieves since it's beginning. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite Stooge. They were all great. Moe, Larry,Curly,Shemp.
The funny thing is, most classic stars got into showbiz for a quick buck. Even those who did it out of "love for the art" eventually dropped that for the money. I've read Larry Fine's biography, where he admits the Three Stooge act was work, no more. And it paid well, so he liked it.
You say Shemp's second stint with the group was short lived, but it was 9 years. That's a good chunk of their shorts career with Colombia. I would say Joe Besser's stint was short lived.
They were and still is the best comedians consisting of more than two in the group, It's a damn pity they were ripped- off from the studio that made millions from them, Almost like a couple of boys down here in Tennessee who could have signed pro contracts with baseball teams and pro basketball and pro football but would have a gave-up third of their salary to the powers who rule Tennessee with sadistic and brutal ways, they refused and now have poor jobs making low wages.
@ whiskey run. Granted it is just a matter of opinion, but the greatest comedy group/team was The Marx Brothers. The greatest comedy duo was Abbott & Costello.
@ moon beam. First of all, the Marx Brothers definitely did not "suck" (as you crudely characterized their brand of humor) as a comedy team! Most fans of comedy movies including myself disagree with you. Second, although The Three Stooges were funny, slapstick humor does not require anywhere near the talent of more sophisticated, better written comedy such as that displayed by The Marx Brothers and Abbott & Costello.
My all time time favourite. Without curly , I stopped watching three stooges. I’ll love them until my last breath on earth. Love 💕 & Respect ✊🏻 for Them. Legends never die, they always live in our hearts ♥️.
Shemp was my fav for a while. I liked his hair. When Moe would smack him in the back of the head, his hair would fall from behind his ears and drape over his face.
Curly was my favorite, followed by Shemp. I still love watching re-runs of the Stooges! They crack me up!! Only my Uncle & I love the Stooges, everyone else thinks they are stupid. R.I.P. Stooges!! Wise guy....🤣
These guys are legends. I remember watching them as a youngin' with my grandfather in the early 2000's, and I found them entertaining even then in that time period. RIP Stooges.
I'm only a teenager and I've been watching "Stooges" my whole life. My dad introduced me to them at a very young age and they've been part of my life ever since. Though I find them harder to watch without Curly, Shemp is still great.
I grew up watching these guys and think they are the funniest 3 together as 1act and there will never be another!! Good clean humor is practically extinct, unfortunately... most everything in Hollywood has been perverted and has mostly a dark agenda
Say three names to at least 1000 people in any country in the world. Mickey MOUSE, MUHAMMAD ALI (I used to play in his family's home as a kid, but that's another story) and the THREE STOOGES. Now, who.recognizes any of them?
Absolutely shameful how the studios treated these comic talents because of 'ownership'. The star makes them money but get treated like turd. The Stooges were almost bigger than Laurel/Hardy (who also faced studio b.s.) I grew up with Stooges shorts in cinema in the 70s. Kids were afraid of Moe (lol) and adored Curly's antics.
This channel constantly gets things wrong. Thank you for the fact check! I feel like channels like this are integral to keeping younger generations informed of the past.... But it's incredibly important to get things right!
@@JennaLeigh Very good point about channels such as this one providing important information on our history for younger generations. Hopefully they will improve from the constructive criticism.
@@nonhominid : Very true sir! And what do ya wanna bet there are plenty of liberal nutty mommies out there that disapprove of this "violence". Well, to be true and honest so can the conservatives. Lol But sheeesh!! Anyone remember the Washington Wives of the 80's literally campaigning against Motely Crue, Twisted Sister and Ozzy Osbourbe as actual satanists??? Uh hummmm--- Headed by Ms. Tipper GORE. ......just say'n
I wish these Grunge people would stop putting the word "tragedy" in every video they make. There's more adjectives than "tragic". What don't they understand about that concept?? How about "The interesting life of...", or "The ups and downs of...". It just never ends with these Grunge people.
I guess that "tragic" is a better buzzword than "the interesting life of". Because people seem to be drawn to sad tales rather than informing ones, unfortunately.
@@anthonydesroches785 I don't know that that's so, but maybe it is. If it is true, maybe people just like tragic stories. But most of these bios don't fit the conventional definition of tragedy anyways: "Causing or characterized by extreme distress or sorrow.". There was some mishap and misfortune in the Stooges personal lives, but clearly it was balanced with good fortune and good life too.
my goodness , what a sad story to such comedy legends ,, my childhood in the 80's/90's was filled with laughter because of three stooges , cartoon & live action movie / TV they'll always have a place in my heart , RIP Mo , Larry , Curly i can't thank you enough for the good times
I already thought of that, probably a lot thought about what is happening in 2020. Glad these fellas are long past-- a lot has changed and not for the better.

Shemp had a fear of being in a car. Then when he finally got over his fear of being in a car he was in a car accident and died of a heart attack
Sounds like an alanis morrisette song. Dont cha think
@@thisaintmuhname1579 Mr. Play It Safe
He had a fear of driving, not being in a car. He was also not involved in a car accident when he had his fatal heart attack
@@curlyhowardcurly1 Shemp was a man of many fears. He was also my mother's boy
The greatest ever, don’t forget it.
The thumbnail is literally how every kid looks when I randomly make eye contact with
My grandfather loved watching the three stooges...many times. Best TV shows ever made back in the 1940s. I've seen the other actor who replaced curly, the first curly died. But in my case all the three stooges were funny...outrageous😉
Love you guys❤gone but certainly and definitely not forgotten
Legends. The real OGs.
To this day I love the 3 Stooges , Truly LEGENDARY men .
Who would have known that one of the Three Stooges named Moe had a bull cut. Right before it was renamed to _mop top_ and four boys from Liverpool made the hairstyle cool.
My friend lives in Curleys house.
Cool!
Awesome 👍
Where at?
@@buildmorefarms1007
I guess it would be considered Los Feliz. Its a modest house. A pool was put in for his health and his niece had a seperate small living quarter.
I live at Ronald Mcdonald's house.
My favorite moment was when they filled Moe up with nitrogen gas to try to inflate the liquid rubber off of him and he floated away. Curly rushed over to grab a gun so he could shoot him out of the sky and Larry walks up and says “What are you doing with that rifle? Don’t you know better than that? You might miss him! Use the shotgun!” and Curly was like “Ohhhhh”
I loved watching their show they were so funny kids these day missed out on some good shows
They all gave me hours of laughter!! God Rest their Souls! Rest in Peace Boys🙏!!
Like many of these compilations about the Three Stooges, there are errors. Moe died 3 1/2 months after Larry, not 3 weeks later as stated in the video. And Larry was 72 when he died, not 73. As others have already said, Shemp''s return was hardly "short lived". Shemp didn't see his earnings cut in half when he returned to the act, in fact he made MORE after he returned, tax returns and payroll records have proven that.
On the subject of money, the approximately 20K or so each Stooge was paid by Columbia per year equals approximately 350K a year in today's money, which was a very good income for actors who made shorts, which ranked below feature films and even B movies. And that was for a maximum of 7-8 weeks per year filming shorts. They were quite aware of their popularity as well, borne out by their many successful personal appearance tours that drew large audiences year after year.
Harry Cohn never refused to give Curly time off, their shooting schedule was very light anyway. In fact, the Stooges made a fateful decision to go on a grueling two month long East Coast tour in the fall of 1945, the effects of that on Curly were obvious in their 1946 shorts. Columbia wasn't involved in those tours at all.
It's sad that people that brought such joy and laughter to people to this very day suffered so bad. I knew it was bad but wow this is worse than I imagined. I mean tragic really fits. Yeesh!
@cnmmd qiuoo
They made a legacy that will never die.
As long as people can watch the shorts/movies they'll be remembered forever.
They all had a difficult history and they were great, but I have an admiration for Shemp Howard because he was one of the original Stooge, then went on to a successful solo career and then had to leave and come back to The Three Stooges because Curly got sick and also to help Moe and Larry so that these two wouldn't be unemployed and the series ended.
Shemp did agree to fill in for Curly until he was able to return, but that sadly never happened. Also, after Shemp died, moe and Larry thought of making it with just them but had Joe Besser join them as the third member of the act. But it didn't last that long and then the second Joe aka curly Joe came along and the rest was history.
Shemp wasn't JUST an original stooge with Ted Healy...He was the HEAD stooge, beating up on his little brother Moe and Larry...But after Shemp left Ted Healy's act, Moe took over as head Stooge in the Columbia shorts...so when Curly had to retire and Shemp came in to substitute, for continuity's sake, Moe had to continue as Head Stooge and beat up on his older brother Shemp as if Shemp hadn't earned his stripes...That's what family does for one another...at least, back then...
I gotta hand it to Moe for his hard work for trying to keep the Stooges floating during his elderly years.
He might have needed the money because the studio took advantage of them and never paid him what he was worth.
Moe's life was not tragic. He was an extremely generous and caring man. He loved his family immensely and helped them when times were tough. A brilliant man.
Well said and well put ! He invested his earnings well & had a comfortable home & life in the Toluca Lake portion of Los Angeles. He had a long happy marriage to his wife Helen & was a devoted dad to his children (Joan & Paul). He played a tough guy on the screen but in real life he had a heart of gold !
@@jubalcalif9100 Down the street from Bob Hopes house in Toluca Lake.
@@thinkforyourself6953 Really ? I had read in many places that Moe & his family lived in Toluca Lake but had no idea he lived near Bob Hope ! Thanks for your follow up comment ! :-)
@@jubalcalif9100 Your welcome, I did a remodel in Toluca lake many years ago on Moorpark Drive, where Bob Hope and his wife Delores moved back in the late 1930's. Moe and his brothers live in Toluca Lake close to Bobs mansion. Toluca Lake was at one time full of celebrities in the early years of the entertainment industry. Burbank had many studios.
@@thinkforyourself6953 Yes indeed ! I've read that Warner Bros and Disney studios are both located in Burbank, along with NBC's studios. And also read that one of my favorite character actors, John David Chandler (1935-2010), lived in the same apartment in Toluca Lake during most of his career.
Curly's last words hit me hard, I'm 27, they were all dead before I was born. Thanks to my dad introducing me to the Stooges early in my childhood I will always be a fan, and I think Curly would be happy to know that he was still making kids like me laugh long after his death. God, rest their souls.
Me too, my dad introduced them to me as well, they was part of our family, miss them
@@gwill3019 It seemed that all the changes that took place with the Stooges involved the third Stooge. First, Shemp leaves the act because he was tired of Ted Healy's drinking heavily, and the poor way he treated the Stooges. Second, Curly was hired to replace him, and made 97 shorts before suffering the stroke that ended his career. Third, Shemp returned and stayed with the act until the day he died in 1955. Joe Besser was hired to take his place, then Joe DeRita was hired to replace him as third Stooge.
thanks brother nice to see a fan of a fan still loving slap stick! now go on! before i poker you in the eye kid
The same with me, Curly's words on his last day on set make me want to cry
What were his last words?
I love Curly, but Shemp is actually my favorite 3rd Stooge.
I know, he’s not the popular choice, but if you get his style he’ll make you laugh till it hurts.
Rest In Peace, boys. May you never be forgotten!
Love and respect to all the 4 stooges. I actually liked Shemp the best. He had a uniqueness all his own. Thank to moving pictures they can live forever. If the films are preserved.
Unfortunately most of the silent movies made, no longer exist.
Moe, Larry, Curly (and Shemp) were the greatest comedy team that graced this planet. I'm in my 50's now and even though I have watched them my whole life I still laugh uncontrollably to this day.
Shemp: The indispensible yet underrated stooge
Agreed, it's crazy how off screen the being smacked and all really hurt his feelings.
Imagine having to cut your check by three forever
The Sound Effects editor was the unsung hero of the Stooges shorts!
Amen to that !
Whenever I would guzzle a large bottle of water or Iced Tea, on any given summer day, I would always imagine the "glurp, glurp, glurp" sound effect ! Many were the times I'd start laughing while guzzling thinking of that sound effect.
The best one ever is the cymbal crash when Shemp and Larry double kick Moe in tha pants and send him flying into the next room in All Gummed Up.
I completely agree, the Stooges were great, but those sound affects were awesome
The drink glugging will always be my favorite
I wish I could've met them, Moe, Larry, Curly *and* Shemp.
Columbia ripping them off daily.
Then cutting Shemp's pay in half, when he filled in to save the series, after Curly's death.
Hollywood has been a gang of thieves since it's beginning.
I honestly couldn't pick a favorite Stooge. They were all great.
Moe, Larry,Curly,Shemp.
The funny thing is, most classic stars got into showbiz for a quick buck. Even those who did it out of "love for the art" eventually dropped that for the money.
I've read Larry Fine's biography, where he admits the Three Stooge act was work, no more. And it paid well, so he liked it.
Shemp is underrated but his films are just as funny as Curley. Love both.
You say Shemp's second stint with the group was short lived, but it was 9 years. That's a good chunk of their shorts career with Colombia. I would say Joe Besser's stint was short lived.
As I so when I take off my hat, you make a good point !!
I started crying when I heard Curly’s last words.
Same, little did he know however, he still makes millions of people laugh for ages to come
They were and still is the best comedians consisting of more than two in the group, It's a damn pity they were ripped- off from the studio that made millions from them, Almost like a couple of boys down here in Tennessee who could have signed pro contracts with baseball teams and pro basketball and pro football but would have a gave-up third of their salary to the powers who rule Tennessee with sadistic and brutal ways, they refused and now have poor jobs making low wages.
@@whiskeyrun4996 Uh if they were gonna be pro they'd still be rich even minus the third. Sounds like they made a bad choice
@ whiskey run. Granted it is just a matter of opinion, but the greatest comedy group/team was The Marx Brothers. The greatest comedy duo was Abbott & Costello.
@ moon beam. First of all, the Marx Brothers definitely did not "suck" (as you crudely characterized their brand of humor) as a comedy team! Most fans of comedy movies including myself disagree with you. Second, although The Three Stooges were funny, slapstick humor does not require anywhere near the talent of more sophisticated, better written comedy such as that displayed by The Marx Brothers and Abbott & Costello.
I met Larry across the street from Capitol Records around 1970. He was a very nice guy.
Bullshit!
@@jimmydasani8922 In the 80's he was old.
@Chuck haha larry died in 1975 you couldn't have met him in the 80s

Chuck That's super cool! 😁
rip curly we all love him
why you
@@JohnJones-gg3zd huh he’s just paying his respects to someone that has died?
My all time time favourite.
Without curly , I stopped watching three stooges. I’ll love them until my last breath on earth. Love 💕 & Respect ✊🏻 for Them. Legends never die, they always live in our hearts ♥️.
Curly was better than Shep for sure.
Scott BikeDawg Shep was his brother & he was only working cause Curly was ill & hospitalised. Curly was certainly the heart of three stooges.
You should have watched the Shemp features of the Stooges.
Shemp was A1👍👍.
@@bikedawg I like them both equally. They were just different.
Moe was the brains of the act, but Curly was the heart and soul. Shemp did some good stuff, but I just never thought he was funny.
I remember reading, when Curley hit the floor and started spinning around, it was because he had forgotten his lines and the act stuck.
Shemp was my fav for a while. I liked his hair. When Moe would smack him in the back of the head, his hair would fall from behind his ears and drape over his face.
Curly was my favorite, followed by Shemp. I still love watching re-runs of the Stooges!
They crack me up!! Only my Uncle & I love the Stooges, everyone else thinks they are stupid.
R.I.P. Stooges!! Wise guy....🤣
Hello Stephanie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
These guys are legends. I remember watching them as a youngin' with my grandfather in the early 2000's, and I found them entertaining even then in that time period. RIP Stooges.
You are young glad you love the stooges
Same watching them in the early 2000s always had me laughing at their jokes or stunts
Three Stooges
Little Rascals
Laurel and Hardy
Have always been my favorites! 😍
Mine Too!
And The Bowery Boys
Vinyl Dad ...So Wish there was more shows like this I grew up during this era class just fun entertainment make America great again
Marx Brothers too.
Vinyl Dad me too, I loved all three, even today when I'm sixty yrs old😎😀
I'm only a teenager and I've been watching "Stooges" my whole life. My dad introduced me to them at a very young age and they've been part of my life ever since. Though I find them harder to watch without Curly, Shemp is still great.
Same for my brother and i
The Three Stooges will always be one of the most legendary shows in TV history. Always.
I grew up watching these guys and think they are the funniest 3 together as 1act and there will never be another!! Good clean humor is practically extinct, unfortunately... most everything in Hollywood has been perverted and has mostly a dark agenda
Not to mention too much political correctness!
Agreed!
The STOOGES are the best...always will be.
@Kite Kōura they were great that even the Joker was a Fan, OLE!
Say three names to at least 1000 people in any country in the world.
Mickey MOUSE, MUHAMMAD ALI (I used to play in his family's home as a kid, but that's another story) and the THREE STOOGES.
Now, who.recognizes any of them?
Now, say HARRY COHEN (or COHN, or...well, whatever).
Soooo, who's he?
The prosecution rests its case. Period.
At what?
Stooges and little rascals were the oldies anyone over 40 will plentiful memories of.
Three stooges still comes on TV.
sleazyfellow I’m 29 and I remember them as well as I Love Lucy, Happy Days, the Munsters, Brady Bunch, I Dream of Jeanie, etc...
Ha, over 40? Im a teenager and watched both of those!
will plentiful memories of, indeed !!!
I'm 20 and I know about them yo
Absolutely shameful how the studios treated these comic talents because of 'ownership'. The star makes them money but get treated like turd. The Stooges were almost bigger than Laurel/Hardy (who also faced studio b.s.)
I grew up with Stooges shorts in cinema in the 70s.
Kids were afraid of Moe (lol) and adored Curly's antics.
Moe didn't die 3 weeks after Larry died, it was 3 months.
In 1975
This channel constantly gets things wrong. Thank you for the fact check! I feel like channels like this are integral to keeping younger generations informed of the past.... But it's incredibly important to get things right!
@@JennaLeigh Very good point about channels such as this one providing important information on our history for younger generations. Hopefully they will improve from the constructive criticism.
@@acdc09 that is my hope too! This really is a fantastic channel- well presented, professional editing, excellent voice work.
@@JennaLeigh how can you say that channel is "fantastic" right after saying they constantly get things wrong?
Curly and Shemp were my favorite stooges.
Funniest guys ever,I use to run home from school so I wouldn't miss the show 😂
Me too!!! Good memories.
Funniest and best act; I loved them when I was little. Such such hard lives; shame in those who cheated them. 😞
Grew up loving these guys. They had impeccable timing and always gave it 100% in everything I saw them do.
When I would turn on that TV and hear that theme song ever Saturday morning while growing up, it always brought a smile to my face
Thank you 😊
Yah and through it all, you were smart enough to know their skit were dangerous if you tried the same thing.
@@nonhominid : Very true sir! And what do ya wanna bet there are plenty of liberal nutty mommies out there that disapprove of this "violence".
Well, to be true and honest so can the conservatives. Lol
But sheeesh!! Anyone remember the Washington Wives of the 80's literally campaigning against Motely Crue, Twisted Sister and Ozzy Osbourbe as actual satanists??? Uh hummmm--- Headed by Ms. Tipper GORE.
......just say'n
I still get that same smile on my face when I hear that theme song!
"Sointley" still happens 😆
and "I'm just a victim of soicumstance", lol
I wish these Grunge people would stop putting the word "tragedy" in every video they make. There's more adjectives than "tragic". What don't they understand about that concept?? How about "The interesting life of...", or "The ups and downs of...". It just never ends with these Grunge people.
Yeah you right they can't find nothing original so they pick on the "Stooges".
See most won't watch unless it has that word.
Did you watch the video. or just come here to make your comment?
I guess that "tragic" is a better buzzword than "the interesting life of". Because people seem to be drawn to sad tales rather than informing ones, unfortunately.
@@anthonydesroches785 I don't know that that's so, but maybe it is. If it is true, maybe people just like tragic stories. But most of these bios don't fit the conventional definition of tragedy anyways: "Causing or characterized by extreme distress or sorrow.". There was some mishap and misfortune in the Stooges personal lives, but clearly it was balanced with good fortune and good life too.
my goodness , what a sad story to such comedy legends ,,
my childhood in the 80's/90's was filled with laughter because of three stooges , cartoon & live action movie / TV
they'll always have a place in my heart , RIP Mo , Larry , Curly
i can't thank you enough for the good times
happy times 2..catch D Letterman Int n u tube w Moes daughter... and home movie clips of Curly's wedding day fun w family and Larry..like family:)
I used to watch 3 Stooges every saturday afternoon on channel 9 in the 90's
I watched these guys in 1950/1960s. Would hurry home for school or get up early to see shows on Saturday and Sunday
If the 3 Stooges were on TV in the modern days they'd get kicked out of Hollywood for doing black face. Everyone would scream racism.
I already thought of that, probably a lot thought about what is happening in 2020. Glad these fellas are long past-- a lot has changed and not for the better.
my god father is a fan of these guys and i literally watched every episode with him growing up as a kid such amazing guys
