The Three Stooges

Yah for Spike TV!
So, who's your favorite stooge? I'm sure that that runaway favorite will be Curly, but I personally LOVE Larry. His expressions and mannerisms just crack me up no matter how many times I've seen it!

 

Am I really the only one who watches the Stooges?


Well, then you should see me. I clap my hands, and giggle with delight every time they come on. So silly.

 

I love the Stooges too Tarrabelle...wish I had a DVD collection or something so I could watch them more often.


Yeah, Three Stooges and Looney Tunes...making me laugh since I was a little fellow.

There's a Stooges short where Curly has a toothache...of course they try all kinds of silly stunts to pull it out...string on doorknob, etc.

At one point they tie a string on his tooth and the other end to a chandelier. Then Curly jumps off the top bunk bed...the chandeleir and plaster come falling down on his head...Curly commences to spit out teeth. He looks at Moe and Larry with that perturbed look he gets and says..."What's the idea?!! You made me bald-headed in the mouth!" LOL

Cracks me up every time, and I've seen that one a BUNCH of times.

 

Shucks...forgot to vote the first time.


I picked Larry, but I really can't choose to be honest!

 

Whoo hoo, Looney Tunes, too. They are so FUNNY.

My favorite Three Stooges has to be the one where they are plumbers while a party is being thrown. The water coming out of the TV as it shows Niagra Falls (slowly I turn, BTW) and the plumbing in the bathtub..........

 

LOL...someone was in the chatroom a few night ago and mentioned they had been to Niagra Falls recently. I wwnt into the "slowly I turned" routine...and about three people joined in.


Oh...and this might be better in the Bare It forum...but I'd love to hang out naked with you and your friends! (seriously..not trying to be creepy. I bet it would be fun!)

 

Not creepy at all. We would love to host you up at the nudie camp! Just let me know when you'll be up this way and we will get together. Of course,there will be more nudity in the summer than right now, but hey, I like it up there in the winter too. Plus, I'd get to 'see' if your user name fits. hahahahhaha!

 

BTW, I'm fricking amazed that Larry is winning (though there's only 3 votes). I thought he was the underrated one.

 

Unfortunately...my user name does not describe that particular bit of my anatomy LOL.

Well...if I ever find myself up that way, I'd love to hang out. No pun intended lol.

Yeah...Larry's the Man. Who knew?

 

LARRY

 

Larry was good, but they didn't give him enough parts. There was only one short I remember where Larry was the lead. He was making all kinds of telephone calls pitting Moe and Schemp against their girlfriends. He was great in that sketch.

I like Curly and Schemp. Curly was the zaniest and the king of non-verbal communication. Shemp had that diffident but offbeat personality, not to mention a face that could stop a clock.

My all-time favorite short is "Brideless Groom" with Shemp and that beanpole of a girlfriend. Those women at the end beat the crap out of the Stooges. "Hold hands you lovebirds!"

Also, AMC usually does a whole day marathon of the Stooges on New Year's eve. They'll probably do it again next month.

love the stooges used to watch them on saturday afternoons when i was a kid in the 50's. just saw a movie about the stooges, pretty interesting how they got started making movies in hollywood. love those guys and abbott and costello, laurel and hardy and the little rascals, that was some good ass saturdays, watching all of them in front of the tv.

Rascals were great too. The news a few weeks ago said Butch died. Bummer.

Which one's the bald one?

 

There were a lot of bald ones. Larry was half bald. Curly, Joe Besser, and Joe Rita were bald.

Shemp's real name was Samuel. His Jewish Mom called him 'Sams' for short. Her accent made it sound like 'Shemp'. So his brothers Moe and Curly called him Shemp.

.

 

I thought there were only 3 people who'd ever appeared in the 3 stooges (the one with curley hair, the bald one and the one with the pudding bowl haircut), so you learn something new every day!

 

The stooges also did two shorts in stereoscopic 3-d, something I didn't know until recently. That was already becoming a craze in the early 50s. You need special liquid crystal shutter glasses and an electronics box to watch them on TV in 3-d. They looked pretty good. Both of the 3-d shorts featured Shemp not too long before he died.

There were a number of groups in the 1920s Vaudeville era known as the stooges. The Three Stooges were just one of them.
