There is no contest. Curly was in a class by himself. His antics and natural comedic instincts made him one of the funniest men in comedy. He is an original.
~ I have always liked Shemp the most. No disrespect to Curly, I just think the Shemp episodes were better made, and as weird as he was, Shemp had a singular style that set him apart.
I always liked Larry best. While the talents of Moe and Curly are obvious, Larry had this air of the common man being assaulted by the slings and arrows of life in the 20th century that hit home. But, really, it's the synergy of the ensemble that is the best character.
During the 1960's, my dad and I would watch "The Three Stooges" every morning before I went to school. What memories - never laughed so hard in all my life. What a way to start the day! Thanks Dad, love you, miss you.
@@jamestuccillo Kudos to you for keeping the tradition going. It’s a wonder growing up that my brother and I didn’t put each other in the hospital “stooging” on each other. Great memories! We still laugh about how we slapped each other around like Moe did Curly, Larry and Shemp.
The fact that we're still talking about them some 90 years after the first "Three Stooges" short came out is proof of how timeless their comedy is. My son is 20 now and we've spent an awful lot of time together over the last 15 years or so watching the Stooges and laughing like maniacs...
Larry was the most underrated of the Stooges. The side of his face was callused from the many slaps that he received. He was also a hero. When he lived in Philadelphia he saved a child from a fire.
Larry's damaged cheek was the reason Besser didn't want slaps. Eye pokes, head-raps, and belly punches were still ok with him. No one took pain better than Larry. He always had an anguished look when his hair was pulled-out, his head has planed... In short, his mugging was hilarious. Larry sometimes had to turn from the camera when Shemp did his schtick- watch the scene when Shemp poses as a dentist and yanks a man's tooth- Larry breaks-up.
I liked Moe, Curly and Larry as my favorite line-up. I do agree that Larry was the glue that enabled much of the comedy to work out. I thought Larry was very funny indeed, but nobody could be as funny as Curly in my opinion. Theses 3 stooges & Shemp were all very good at bringing laughter, God bless their souls!
My childhood was made that much more memorable and happy from the countless hours the stooges provided me with their wit and slapstick humor. All my close friends have the same memories making it even more special.
One of the highlights of my dearly departed dad’s life was being born with a hole in his heart. See, this led to him being one of the first children in the country to undergo open heart surgery in Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital. There he got to meet Larry, Moe and Shemp. He told us that story a thousand times.
it's also a tragedy that during the 30's and 40's at least when they were in their prime they didn't jack shit they got paid awful. and the only one who was good at keeping the books and who was able to give money to anyone is Moe Howard he kept all the books and he was the only one who did well for himself because he didn't go out and spend all his money like everyone else did. the studio if i recall kept it secret how famous the guys actually were when they never paid any attention so they got away with paying the so little if my memory is right.
Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp were a team. Each individual's talent made the 3 stooges. They were my favorite as a kid and still my favorite as of today.
Joe Besser did not really enjoy being a stooge. He also did not get along well with the Howards. His comedy was a different type. Joe De'Rita loved being a stooge, and worked well with them, until he retired from show business to run his bar.
I remember watching the three stooges with my mom and brother late Saturday nights... probably back in the very early 80's, it was a weekly thing for us. I used to so look forward to it.. We always would have a contest to see who could watch them without laughing. Im 50 years old now.. and I still love watching them. They really are timeless. Also remember my step dad told me once when he was younger he once met Shemp.
Shemp Howard was an original and funny stooge who later went on to a successful solo career, but had a noble attitude in leaving his solo career and returning to the three stooges as his brother Curly got sick helping his other brother Moe and their friend Larry to keep their jobs and also to help cover brother Curly's hospital expenses.
When Curly was no longer able to be a part of the show, Moe pleaded with Shemp to return until Curly was feeling better. But sadly, Curly passed away in 1950 and Shemp remained as the permanent replacement for Curly. At least until Shemp passed away in 1955 at 60 years old.

In my 70's I grew up with the 3 Stooges , even today in 2022 I am still watching them. For me, personally I am a Larry Fine Stooge Fan, with his artistic skills being displayed as played the Violin in several of the movies. Thank-you bringing this back into our lives.
True story, I took care of Larry in the nursing home he was in for a few years when I was working as an agency CNA. I had no idea he was one of the stooges till about a few weeks before he passed away. Coolest thing I've done in my life so far
They never get old or stale. It holds up as well today as it did when the episodes aired. Not many films can say that. Clearly way ahead of their time.
I LOVED THE WAY THEY DID THE 3D VERSIONS WITH SHEMP AND THEY WOULD BE THROWING THE PIES, KITCHEN UTENSILS AND OTHER PAINFUL OBJECTS AT THE CAMERA AND IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WE WERE ABOUT TO GET HIT WITH THEM BUT IT HIT THEM! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I loved the Stooges growing up, and I still do. One of the few shows I can watch a million times and never get tired of them. I feel like they get a bum rap as just being slapstick comedy, because that's just the surface humor. Underneath, there are a lot of puns, gags, double entendres and other smart humor to appreciate.
Agree completely. The layers underneath the obvious slapstick are what makes them appealing to all ages. I remember watching as a child with my dad and there was a reference to a character Baron of Graymatter. I didn't understand why my dad laughed at that and then he explained it meant 'brainless' as in barren of grey matter( brains). I have fond memories of my dad when I see the Stooges.
The Three Stooges were a t.v. staple in our household when I was a kid. I always got a kick out of watching them, but sometimes I use to get mad seeing Moe bully the others so much, lol. I guess that was supposed to be part of the humor. It had a great run for nearly half a century. Thanks to all of you who brought joy and laughter in our home. Greatly appreciated, and will never be forgotten.
That was my childhood too. Filled with many great gut busting moments of laughter thanks to these guys. And also thanks to my grandmother and mother who adored them, especially my grandma. She was almost fanatical about the Stooges and was the primary reason I got to experience their incredible comedy as a kid. They'll always be the funniest show and act I have ever seen. That's almost certainly never to change. I could still crack up like a kid watching them today. And if reruns are on, my 58 year old father will laugh his ass off to the Stooges along side me today just like when I was a kid.
I used to like them when I was much younger but cannot tolerate them now. They are more like a parody of a comedy team and a bad one at that. They can't compare to real comedy teams like the Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello etc. Also they couldn't match the single performers such as W.C. Fields, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and many others. Moe was the worst with his physical abuse and Curly was over-rated in my opinion. Slapstick might be ok in small doses but they overdid it but what irritates me the most are the accidental mishaps. They can't go 5 seconds without bumping into each other or walking into a wall etc. Really? What I did like about their films were some of the supporting actors.
Definitely feel the three stooges are timeless, born in '84, I remember watching them as kid with my dad, and still to this day I watch them on occasion and still laugh every time. Curly was my favorite but Moe was my second favorite. Thanks for the great video!
The lineup up Moe, Curly and Larry were my favorites. Shemp was funny as well, but I feel Curly was the best of the 3 ever. There is just nothing like Moe, Curly and Larry. I don’t think the stooges could ever have been as good as they were without Larry. Larry’s role was extremely important in the group and they could NEVER have done without his amazing talent as well imho. R.I.P. to all of these great comedians! You will never be forgotten, we love you ALL. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I read how Moe was devastated when Larry passed away. The 2 oldest veterans left and Moe was left alone for 3 more years. I hope they're all happy now, together.
I was surprised to hear that Curly died before I was born! The Stooges were a big part of my childhood, and loved PGH. Where they were a big hit on Paul Shannon's comedy hour that was build around them! I saw them live aeons ago at Forbes Field!!! 🙈🙉🙊
Curly was called Babe by the family. Moe loved him dearly and knew his talent. Curly was a great dancer and had beautiful hair. Problem was, he was a gently soul who was often financially taken advantage of by the women in his life. RIP to all the Stooges.
Curley and Shemp were the most silly and laughable - but none of it would have worked without Moe; He (Moe) was definitely the catalyst that made it all work.
Agree with you very much. However, after Curly and Shemp passed away, the act wasn't very good anymore and the two replacement guys used just simply didn't fit in at all. Moses Howard wanted really bad and tried very hard to get Dudly Dickerson to be a third Stooge, and it would have worked and it would have kept these guys going, however Hollywood wouldn't permit Moe to have Dudley Dickerson as a third Stooge. Probably, out of pure speculation, because at that time the Amos and Andy show was considered by the colored folks out there as a slap in the face making people think that people of color are dumb and stupid, and were not to be taken seriously and that they were viewed as nothing but Uncle Tom's. So, the restriction of having Dudley Dickerson as a third Stooge was something that would be unwanted controversy, and cause protests and riots.
Curly, Larry, Moe and Shemp. The Three Stooges, Leave It to Beaver, The little Rascals, Gomer Pyle and the Andy Griffin Show was my favorites. There was nothing like being home sick from school and watching these in the morning.
My preferred ones are Moe, Larry, and Curly all together. I’ve always first been familiar with them through The Robotic Stooges, which I used to watch all the time on Boomerang. It just isn’t the same without all three of them to me.
@Chris Hamilton Interesting subject. I agree with you on we are spirits experiencing human life. All things considered, I don't think most people go to hell, but the ones have been evil. The ones who have caused a lot of damage, sorrow, distress, and suffering. There are still a lot of good people who deserve a second chance and, consequently, come back and do better 'cause they keep experiences and abilities developed in their first life. Won't you agree?
This video is completely wrong. Curly died by being whacked in the face with an ironing board as Moe stuck his fingers in Curly's nose. Larry died when Curly shot an arrow out of a toaster that hit Larry in the face; Curly was standing on Larry's head at the time. Moe is immortal.
They are like the song unforgettable. No one can ever redo the Three stooges no matter how good they are. Leave them alone and let their legacy show the future generations what they're all about. Their shoes quirks giggles smacks and smiles will live on.
My daughter in law was over once. I kept hearing her laughing very hard in the living room. She was watching old 3 Stooges programs! I bought her the dvd set for Christmas.
I didn't really watch 3 Stooges much growing up in the 90s, but some of my favorite memories with the show was during some 2-3 week hospital visits, one of the janitors would come into my room and sit with me for a little while and watch the show after he finished cleaning. One of the highlights of my day, and favorite hospital staff members ever, going above and beyond doing what he can to made the kids happy. He would surprise me with stuff from events going on downstairs, get me involved in Bingo, or sneak me McDonalds when he got off work. Stooges themselves may not be a big thing for me, but it really does bring up some good memories. I should really go back and watch it again sometime.
First, Moe (born in 1897) died at 77 years old in 1975, not 1977. Second, Curly only had one cameo, a sleeping passenger on the train in Hold That Lion, the only Stooges short that all three Howard brothers were in together. Curly did film one other cameo, as a cook in Malice in the Palace, but it went unused because of how frail he looked. Larry wound up playing the cook. Further, Moe tried to keep the act going after Larry was paralyzed by a stroke and with Larry's blessing recruited Emil Sitka, who acted in 40 of the Stooges shorts, to play the Stooge role of "Harry" who was Larry's brother. There were even a few promotional pictures take of Moe, Emil as Harry and Curly Joe as the Three Stooges, but Moe's health issues kept that version of the Stooges ever appearing on film.
You are correct Steve. As soon as I heard that Moe died in 1977, I knew the person who created this video didn't do their work. So I stopped watching. And a thumbs down.
Steve. You are perfectly correct. Larry fine had a sit down talk at Loara high school in Anaheim in 1975. Moe had already passed. And at the time, Larry was the only member who was still living. Yes I realize curly Joe was in the 90s, but I don’t even consider him one of the group
Sorry for this 2nd comment, but when I was a new RN, I was assigned to caring for a young man who was shot by police after an armed robbery. He had been admitted after surgery and my coworkers said that he was nasty and that he'd make mincemeat of me. I went to see him first. He was very quiet. He wanted the TV on. The Three Stooges was on. In seconds, we were both laughing hard! 🤣 We talked about our favorite episodes and we had the same favorite. For the rest of the day, when it was time to change his dressings and give him meds, we would talk and laugh about the Stooges. It was sad when he was discharged straight to the police and to the county jail to await trial. He was very young and ran with a violent crowd. He thanked me for treating him just like other people and saw his humanity. He promised me that he'd get out of the gang life after serving his sentence. I don't know if he made good on his promise, but I hope so.
I'm sorry to say but I don't think so because most gangs I know of act alot like the mafia does once you join it's for life some have left but not easily because there not about to let anyone squeal on them🤔
As long as he still watching the Three Stooges, you’re good right? His true humanity will be seen during his next attempt at arm robbery. Hopefully, no one that you know we love will be killed during that event.
@@newlifeforgodtruth2521 it's true anyone can change if they really want to the problem is to many are to comfortable with there life the way it is and refused to change their own actions(life)and they refuse to listen to anything or anyone else but themselves🤔
I still watch them every time there on TV. Curly was my favorite. Still the best comedy team ever. They even made it on the mad, mad, mad, mad World as the firemen. I think they bring me back to a better time , a youthful time in my life.
They had a lot of really good people in that movie and I'm glad they give the Stooges that cameo as a way to honor their work. Ditto the scene with Buster Keaton as well as others too. So many funny scenes in that great comedy. My favorite has to be when Jonathan Winters destroyed the gas station.
Shemp and curly were by far the best stooges . the two that came after Shemp and curly i never cared for ., they should have retired the act , you cant improve on perfection .
Shemp, Curly, Moe, & Larry were the BEST! So many memories with my Pops, my sister & my Grandma watching The Three Stooges on a Saturday night growing up. ❤️💫☺️
I have never in my 52 yrs of life have laughed harder at ANY SHOW as I did The Three Stooges!!! I STILL laugh so hard when I watch it!! My favorite character was "Curly" he was a phenomenal comedian and never even had to curse or be rude!! I miss them beyond belief!! 😢
"Do you think their style of comedy is timeless?" Let's see. You've seen the bit 1,000 times. You know exactly what they're gonna say & how they're gonna say it. Yet, you still laugh out loud at the punch line. Yup, it's timeless.
@@jean-pierrelafaille8713 I'm 65 years old & you & most (if not all) of your dull friends are the very first I've come across in 65 years that don't think the stooges are funny. They don't keep playing your shit on TV for 60 /70 years uninterrupted if you aren't funny
I watched reruns of the Stooges every day after school. I always liked Shemp the best, but I could never figure out if he was before Curly or after. Now I know, it was both. I had a school friend who used to do Curly inspired routines. Never was attacked by a clam in my chowder, but that gag slayed me! To this day I still find myself humming their version of “The Three Blind Mice” as their intro.
The three stooges were the best in slapstick comedy...I love all their shows and continue to watch their tv marathons that air each year...their will never be this kind of comedy again...timeless...R.I.P to all of the stooges and the fine production staffs that made it happen...comedy classic for years to come .🎩🎩🎩
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Moe, Shemp and Curly Howard were undoubtedly three of the funniest comedians to be put on celluloid but for me the most important member of the Stooges was Larry Fine. He brought his finely (pun intended ) tuned calmness and always unsuccessful attempts at reasonableness as an essential counterpoint to the full on mayhem swirling around him.But in the end The Three Stooges were one of the greatest comedy teams in Show Biz and I loves 'em all.
"Unfortunately all six actors who took on the mantle have passed away" you made it sound like there was a chance they could still be alive that would be impressive considering Moe Howard would be 124 years old.
I loved curly, he made the Three Stooges what they are today and yesterday. there will never be a group like the three Stooges, the slap-stick comedy, that physical humor that made you laugh so much your sides hurt! they were the greatest comedy team of all time! I will always remember Moe, Larry, and Curly, and don`t forget Shemp! you know we really miss you guys!
Shemp Howard was an original and funny stooge who later went on to a successful solo career, but had a noble attitude in leaving his solo career and returning to the three stooges as his brother Curly got sick helping his other brother Moe and their friend Larry to keep their jobs and also to help cover brother Curly's hospital expenses.
My dad turned me and my brothers on to the Three Stooges. Though I never cared for Shemp, he grew on me after awhile, especially finding out he preceded Curly ... I absolutely enjoyed this history of the whole troup...still a huge fan and hope my son and grand kids will discover them as well...I give this a 5 star !!
love the Abbott & Costello routine where Abbott said to Costello..."didn't u ever go to school stupid"...and Costello said yes and i came out the same way...hahahhaha...LMAO
They all had their good points, except maybe for Besser. In Brideless Groom, when Larry gets slugged by two fists at once, from the phone booth, his expression just cracks me up. 😂 Ditto re. Dunked in the Deep and Commotion on the Ocean, when Larry gets KO'd by the pulley.
I like the way you give all the pertinent facts -- ages, years of birth and death, that way I didn't have to back figure them. I watch these guys a lot as a kid during the 50s and early 60s, both their current and past stuff. They have the type of humor that makes me laugh the most.
I was just a complete fan of the stooges...even their cartoon that aired when I was young. I always felt that they gave us all something to laugh at even when times weren't always great. They provided true unadulterated humor, no cursing..no excessive vulgarity and just enough violence!! Like a slice of home made apple pie...
I grew up on The Three Stooges , they were great but I don't think their style of Comedy is long-lasting , but they were and their comedy is all their own ! and no one else can do it better !
I grew up watching these actors with my grandpa. So naturally, every time I see reruns I think about my grand father who has been gone for 30 years now. I loved watching these guys and they will always have a place in my heart. Oddly enough, two of the six actors are buried at a Jewish cemetery in east Los Angeles. It was across the street from a fire station I worked at for 12 years. I would sometimes go put rocks on their tombstone. The sheriffs even have a run named after Curly. They called it the Curly loop where they run dow Eastern Avenue from SEB and place a rock on his tombstone. I’m lucky to have worked in East Los Angeles. Such a wonderful community
Curly was my favorite. As a child he reminded me of a baby. He was hilarious. My cousins and I always played The Three Stooges whenever we got together. We spent a lot of time on the ground laughing so hard, it's amazing no one wet their pants.😂🤣❤
@@kevinmiller6380 Of course, he was an idiot! They all were. I was being sarcastic. That is why I put "smart" in parentheses. LOL They were funny though!
I read that Curly improvised his now-famous barking while scooting around on all fours bit. Apparently, he had forgotten his lines, and started doing that as a distraction. And boom, a new "trick" was born.
I still watch the three stooges, some of my most favorite funny actors, timeless. I didn't know that Curly died so young, old fashioned slap stick comedy and humor.
It would have been so nice if Shemp Howard had acted and interacted at the same time with his brothers Moe and Curly and also with his friend Larry Fine in many episodes of the three stooges, because then Shemp would have been more recognized and valued and not just a his brother Curly's replacement, as Shemp was one of the Stooge originals and he was also talented. It would be a good try to see the four stooges together.
My class visited the grave of "Curly Joe" DeRita back in high school. (The school was in North Hollywood, btw.) The cemetery was across the street from us and we would be allowed to walk around to stretch our legs and clear our minds. Then, we found it. I was a fan of The Three Stooges growing up. So to find Curly Joe's grave was an experience for me.
The stooges were the best but my favorites are with Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp. Who can forget "Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard"? Or so many others that make me laugh even today. They were very talented comedians.
Shemp has been and always will be my favorite. Not to disregard the other members by any means, they were all wonderful. But somehow Shemp just stood out for me in comparison. I used to watch this show religiously back in the 90's when they had the Sunday Stoogefest on one of our local networks. Great times.
I remember watching the Stooges all the time in the mid 2000's when I was in high school. They're just one of those things that will always be amazing.

One of the greatest comedy teams of all time," Shemp, Moe, Larry, & of course Curly". They got screwed out of millions from the studios. They still do not get the full credit they deserve, but remember it is never to late! God rest their souls.
They did better than most people know. Moe bought the rights early after the decline of the slapstick genre. When the stooges made a comeback he and his brothers did quite well. It's actually pretty odd. There were a lot of vaudeville acts who were popular for a while and then disappeared and the studios buried them. But there were a small handfull who kept their acts alive and experienced a very profitable return when TV became popular. The Stooges were one of those. Laurel and Hardy was another. Abbot and Costello too. Those did well because someone in the group retained or bought the rights, betting on them.
Moe was my favorite. He was such a short tempered dude and he initiated those hilarious fights. 😂He smacked the shit out of every stooge. It was violent slapstick but I always laughed my ass off.
Shemp was my favorite! He said in one episode, "all women marry Smith's!" I grew up and married a Smith. Is that why l said, "yes?" Maybe! 😂😂😂 But, really! Shemp wasn't scared of Moe. That's why he was my favorite! But l loved them all! The 3 Stooges, l Love Lucy, were real true comedy! From '95 until now, ldk what comedy is anymore! Lets just say the last comedy series l watched was Martin!
I loved watching the stooges with my dad on Saturdays in the 60s. My mom said they were too violent but I still watched them with my dad. My dad met Moe .
Wonderful memories. I love them all. Back in the early sixties I saw them in person in the RKO theater in New York. They were promoting there Film at the time The 3 Stooges go around the world. It was Moe Larry and Curly Joe.
A very informative piece about one of Hollywood's most iconic comedy groups. There was Abbott & Costello, later Lewis & Martin and later still Pryor & Wilder, among others. But the Three Stooges forged their unique place in entertainment history not just due to their slapstick humor, but there is only one landmark comedy trio, and they are it.

@@Anon-lu6ct No way, Larry’s one liners crack me up good sometimes, but I agree with you
Larry's damaged cheek was the reason Besser didn't want slaps. Eye pokes, head-raps, and belly punches were still ok with him. No one took pain better than Larry. He always had an anguished look when his hair was pulled-out, his head has planed... In short, his mugging was hilarious. Larry sometimes had to turn from the camera when Shemp did his schtick- watch the scene when Shemp poses as a dentist and yanks a man's tooth- Larry breaks-up.
I liked Moe, Curly and Larry as my favorite line-up. I do agree that Larry was the glue that enabled much of the comedy to work out. I thought Larry was very funny indeed, but nobody could be as funny as Curly in my opinion. Theses 3 stooges & Shemp were all very good at bringing laughter, God bless their souls!
Such a shame Curly didn’t last as long as Moe and Larry did. He was definitely my favorite out of all the stooges.
Curly was brilliant! So funny!! Sad death!

They are always painted as tragic characters. They really had pretty good lives especially compared to a lot of people back then.
Watched as a kid in the 50s not realizing many of them had already passed away.
it's also a tragedy that during the 30's and 40's at least when they were in their prime they didn't jack shit they got paid awful. and the only one who was good at keeping the books and who was able to give money to anyone is Moe Howard he kept all the books and he was the only one who did well for himself because he didn't go out and spend all his money like everyone else did. the studio if i recall kept it secret how famous the guys actually were when they never paid any attention so they got away with paying the so little if my memory is right.
@@repentofyoursinsandbelieve629 everybody knows that Jesus ( peace be upon him) was a Muslim and that Islam is the truth.
Used to watch them every weekend morning. Those were the days…
Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp were a team. Each individual's talent made the 3 stooges.
They were my favorite as a kid and still my favorite as of today.
@Odeneho Konadu 30. Don't you watch 3 Stooges reruns?
They've always been the funniest comedians in my books.
Those are the only stooges I care to ever watch as well. I am 35 so don't let age keep you from watching these gems, keep rocking with the Stooges!
@Odeneho Konadu dude ur like so cool and so gen z omgg
@Odeneho Konadu omg bro you're such an adult congrats
I didn't appreciate Shemp until I was older I didn't realize how funny he was because I didn't like Curly being replaced
Undervalued==~~ …rated like Curley JOE ! !
I didn’t know Curly, Shemp and Moe were actually brothers in real life.
Yes
Larry Fine was their dear friend.
Joe Besser did not really enjoy being a stooge. He also did not get along well with the Howards. His comedy was a different type. Joe De'Rita loved being a stooge, and worked well with them, until he retired from show business to run his bar.
Yes, shemp was elder among Stooges
@@debrahubbard763 I never liked the Joes.
So Shemp was the original 3rd stooge BEFORE Curly. I never knew that.
Lol how if you ever watched anything about their past........ guess better late than never.
I was going to comment that exact same thing
@@iangoodisDMX shemp died of a broken heart.
Yeah I thought it was the other way around.
Yes, I watched them
My whole childhood :)
the Three Stooges known as Larry Curley Moe and Shemp will never be replaced or duplicated.
Joe too
Ok but Shemp was replaced
@@arfansthename Not very successfully.
Yep they were one of a kind..
Yasss!
I remember watching the three stooges with my mom and brother late Saturday nights... probably back in the very early 80's, it was a weekly thing for us. I used to so look forward to it.. We always would have a contest to see who could watch them without laughing. Im 50 years old now.. and I still love watching them. They really are timeless. Also remember my step dad told me once when he was younger he once met Shemp.
We're very happy to know that you enjoyed Three Stooges with your family. Thank you for sharing this. Who is your favorite Stooge?
I did that too!! Usually about midnight to 1 or 2 am Saturday night
Moe
youire makikjng me angry....... grhraagghh
Curly ran a dog rescue, he took care of 1000's of Dog's in his lifetime.
Zurin, I did know not this!! As a lifelong animal lover, glad to hear he was too!!
@@annhathaway1475 same
Bull shi*
No he didnt.. he kept getting married and taken for his money and liked to party.
@@hhhdgt Yes he did! Curly used to pickup strays! And always had dogs!
Shemp Howard was an original and funny stooge who later went on to a successful solo career, but had a noble attitude in leaving his solo career and returning to the three stooges as his brother Curly got sick helping his other brother Moe and their friend Larry to keep their jobs and also to help cover brother Curly's hospital expenses.
It's an admirable attitude indeed!
When Curly was no longer able to be a part of the show, Moe pleaded with Shemp to return until Curly was feeling better. But sadly, Curly passed away in 1950 and Shemp remained as the permanent replacement for Curly. At least until Shemp passed away in 1955 at 60 years old.
@@Lord_KillerBee Curly died in 1952, not 50.
@@kevinmiller6380 You're right, got my dates slightly off. Curly more or less "retired" from show biz in 1950 and sadly died two years later.
The stooges had to keep on the show moe Howard had a 24 year contract with Columbia
Absolutely timeless. The fact that we are watching an act created almost 100 years ago says something!

In my 70's I grew up with the 3 Stooges , even today in 2022 I am still watching them. For me, personally I am a Larry Fine Stooge Fan, with his artistic skills being displayed as played the Violin in several of the movies. Thank-you bringing this back into our lives.
True story, I took care of Larry in the nursing home he was in for a few years when I was working as an agency CNA. I had no idea he was one of the stooges till about a few weeks before he passed away. Coolest thing I've done in my life so far
Thanks for watching, Joey!
I think folks need to hear more about that. Anything interesting happen. What led to the reveal that it was Larry etc.
How cool is that !
Anybody start off with true story seems fishy af.
Everyone has their own way of looking at things. To me The Three Stooges are immortal. They live on through timeless comedy.
They were the original "jack asses"
They may get close some day. But there will never be a comedy team just like them ever again. I spent a lot of my childhood laughing because of them.
They never get old or stale. It holds up as well today as it did when the episodes aired. Not many films can say that. Clearly way ahead of their time.
They are ingrained in pop culture. They are legends that will never be forgotten
I thought Shemp was underrated. His facial expressions cracked me up. Also the way his hair would fly around when he was slapped by Moe.
Shemp was very underrated. He had so many great punchlines. That's why he will always be my favorite Stooge.
I really liked Shemp, as when he replaced Curly, he did his own sense of humour. My favorite would be Larry. He wasn't too silly.
Shemp was my mother's boy
I LOVED THE WAY THEY DID THE 3D VERSIONS WITH SHEMP AND THEY WOULD BE THROWING THE PIES, KITCHEN UTENSILS AND OTHER PAINFUL OBJECTS AT THE CAMERA AND IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WE WERE ABOUT TO GET HIT WITH THEM BUT IT HIT THEM! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree 100%. The Shemp episodes are my favorite. He was hilarious.
I loved the Stooges growing up, and I still do. One of the few shows I can watch a million times and never get tired of them. I feel like they get a bum rap as just being slapstick comedy, because that's just the surface humor. Underneath, there are a lot of puns, gags, double entendres and other smart humor to appreciate.
We're glad to see another Stooges fan! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. What other types of videos would you like to see?
Agree completely. The layers underneath the obvious slapstick are what makes them appealing to all ages. I remember watching as a child with my dad and there was a reference to a character Baron of Graymatter. I didn't understand why my dad laughed at that and then he explained it meant 'brainless' as in barren of grey matter( brains).
I have fond memories of my dad when I see the Stooges.
Currently was the most famous resource stooges of them always dressed in a 3 piece and was full of humon all shows God-bless his heart
you are my tarfggett
The Three Stooges were a t.v. staple in our household when I was a kid. I always got a kick out of watching them, but sometimes I use to get mad seeing Moe bully the others so much, lol. I guess that was supposed to be part of the humor. It had a great run for nearly half a century. Thanks to all of you who brought joy and laughter in our home. Greatly appreciated, and will never be forgotten.
I liked all of them, they were great, I could'nt have a special one.
I miss the cream pie fights, Curly’s laugh and “Niagara Falls” . . . “slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch . . .” 😆 😆 😆
@Mandy Omg, Niagara Falls is hilarious. 😂
0p
Yeah Niagara Falls......slowly I turned lolololol
"I Miss The Curly Shuffle!"
"I Miss The Curly Shuffle!"
The three stooges were the best and still are today. When I was a kid, I laughed uncontrollably watching these guys perform.
Thanks for watching, Joe!
That was my childhood too. Filled with many great gut busting moments of laughter thanks to these guys. And also thanks to my grandmother and mother who adored them, especially my grandma. She was almost fanatical about the Stooges and was the primary reason I got to experience their incredible comedy as a kid. They'll always be the funniest show and act I have ever seen. That's almost certainly never to change. I could still crack up like a kid watching them today. And if reruns are on, my 58 year old father will laugh his ass off to the Stooges along side me today just like when I was a kid.
@@FactsVerse Moe died in 1975, not 1977, as you mentioned......77 years old at time of death, not the year
I used to like them when I was much younger but cannot tolerate them now. They are more like a parody of a comedy team and a bad one at that. They can't compare to real comedy teams like the Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello etc. Also they couldn't match the single performers such as W.C. Fields, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and many others. Moe was the worst with his physical abuse and Curly was over-rated in my opinion. Slapstick might be ok in small doses but they overdid it but what irritates me the most are the accidental mishaps. They can't go 5 seconds without bumping into each other or walking into a wall etc. Really? What I did like about their films were some of the supporting actors.
Definitely feel the three stooges are timeless, born in '84, I remember watching them as kid with my dad, and still to this day I watch them on occasion and still laugh every time. Curly was my favorite but Moe was my second favorite. Thanks for the great video!
Right on! Which episode of the Three Stooges appealed to you the most?
Moe, curly, Larry and shemp were all my favorites. There will never be a better comedic act.
Curly wasn't just the funniest Stooge, but he was also the most creative "nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!", "woob-woob-woob!", "soitenly!"
You’re moidering the kings English!
Judgy wudgy
Probably one of the most memorable as well, whenever I hear anyone refer to the stooges they're always talking about Larry, Moe, and Curly.
He was a victim of circumstance
I agree. Curly was definitely the funniest!
Curly was the best
He was the one that everyone as kids repeated his lines

Certainly
The lineup up Moe, Curly and Larry were my favorites. Shemp was funny as well, but I feel Curly was the best of the 3 ever. There is just nothing like Moe, Curly and Larry. I don’t think the stooges could ever have been as good as they were without Larry. Larry’s role was extremely important in the group and they could NEVER have done without his amazing talent as well imho.
R.I.P. to all of these great comedians! You will never be forgotten, we love you ALL. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for the cast of the Three Stooges. Be safe and have a great day 💕
iw ish i could have moe, curly, and larry "lined up" against the wall! and shot
I read how Moe was devastated when Larry passed away. The 2 oldest veterans left and Moe was left alone for 3 more years. I hope they're all happy now, together.
"They're 'Happy Together'..ba ba bum bum, so how is the weather? ...ba ba bum bum
Moe died three MONTHS after Larry died, not three years.
Larry was in something like 40 films during his life, but he was never once in any film without Moe.
I was surprised to hear that Curly died before I was born! The Stooges were a big part of my childhood, and loved PGH. Where they were a big hit on Paul Shannon's comedy hour that was build around them! I saw them live aeons ago at Forbes Field!!! 🙈🙉🙊
Curly was called Babe by the family. Moe loved him dearly and knew his talent. Curly was a great dancer and had beautiful hair. Problem was, he was a gently soul who was often financially taken advantage of by the women in his life. RIP to all the Stooges.
"Curly" was the Stooge that made me laugh the most. RIP Guys we miss u.
totally agreed
He was also my fav!🥰❤️😍
Curly had the chemistry for actor despite no actor training.
@@BJSteigner Maybe he did, but he didn't have what it took to make it on his own.
There will never be a funnier man on this planet.
Curley and Shemp were the most silly and laughable - but none of it would have worked without Moe; He (Moe) was definitely the catalyst that made it all work.
We agree, TyroneSayWTF!
Agree with you very much. However, after Curly and Shemp passed away, the act wasn't very good anymore and the two replacement guys used just simply didn't fit in at all. Moses Howard wanted really bad and tried very hard to get Dudly Dickerson to be a third Stooge, and it would have worked and it would have kept these guys going, however Hollywood wouldn't permit Moe to have Dudley Dickerson as a third Stooge. Probably, out of pure speculation, because at that time the Amos and Andy show was considered by the colored folks out there as a slap in the face making people think that people of color are dumb and stupid, and were not to be taken seriously and that they were viewed as nothing but Uncle Tom's. So, the restriction of having Dudley Dickerson as a third Stooge was something that would be unwanted controversy, and cause protests and riots.
Agreed
Absolutely
Shemp was alway my favorite stooge.. I don’t know why. He made me laugh and his slicked back hair would always fall into his face.
Curly was great, but Shemp was by far my favorite.
Curly, Larry, Moe and Shemp. The Three Stooges, Leave It to Beaver, The little Rascals, Gomer Pyle and the Andy Griffin Show was my favorites. There was nothing like being home sick from school and watching these in the morning.
Those were all great I watched them as well especially Andy Griffith - another one I got a big kick out of was Hogans Heroes, funny as...
Abbot and Costello...

My preferred ones are Moe, Larry, and Curly all together. I’ve always first been familiar with them through The Robotic Stooges, which I used to watch all the time on Boomerang. It just isn’t the same without all three of them to me.

@Chris Hamilton Interesting subject. I agree with you on we are spirits experiencing human life. All things considered, I don't think most people go to hell, but the ones have been evil. The ones who have caused a lot of damage, sorrow, distress, and suffering. There are still a lot of good people who deserve a second chance and, consequently, come back and do better 'cause they keep experiences and abilities developed in their first life. Won't you agree?
This video is completely wrong. Curly died by being whacked in the face with an ironing board as Moe stuck his fingers in Curly's nose. Larry died when Curly shot an arrow out of a toaster that hit Larry in the face; Curly was standing on Larry's head at the time. Moe is immortal.
Amen to that!!
They are like the song unforgettable. No one can ever redo the Three stooges no matter how good they are. Leave them alone and let their legacy show the future generations what they're all about. Their shoes quirks giggles smacks and smiles will live on.
We agree, Cherie!
My daughter in law was over once. I kept hearing her laughing very hard in the living room. She was watching old 3 Stooges programs! I bought her the dvd set for Christmas.
I didn't really watch 3 Stooges much growing up in the 90s, but some of my favorite memories with the show was during some 2-3 week hospital visits, one of the janitors would come into my room and sit with me for a little while and watch the show after he finished cleaning. One of the highlights of my day, and favorite hospital staff members ever, going above and beyond doing what he can to made the kids happy. He would surprise me with stuff from events going on downstairs, get me involved in Bingo, or sneak me McDonalds when he got off work. Stooges themselves may not be a big thing for me, but it really does bring up some good memories. I should really go back and watch it again sometime.
I'm 47 and I still love watching these guys. I got my 2 daughters started on them early on and they enjoy their skits. True classic comedy.
Thanks for watching, Old man 74!
First, Moe (born in 1897) died at 77 years old in 1975, not 1977. Second, Curly only had one cameo, a sleeping passenger on the train in Hold That Lion, the only Stooges short that all three Howard brothers were in together. Curly did film one other cameo, as a cook in Malice in the Palace, but it went unused because of how frail he looked. Larry wound up playing the cook. Further, Moe tried to keep the act going after Larry was paralyzed by a stroke and with Larry's blessing recruited Emil Sitka, who acted in 40 of the Stooges shorts, to play the Stooge role of "Harry" who was Larry's brother. There were even a few promotional pictures take of Moe, Emil as Harry and Curly Joe as the Three Stooges, but Moe's health issues kept that version of the Stooges ever appearing on film.
Thank you for that info!
And on Emil Sitka's tombstone is one of his famous lines "Hold Hands You Love Birds."
You are correct Steve. As soon as I heard that Moe died in 1977, I knew the person who created this video didn't do their work. So I stopped watching. And a thumbs down.
Steve. You are perfectly correct. Larry fine had a sit down talk at Loara high school in Anaheim in 1975. Moe had already passed. And at the time, Larry was the only member who was still living. Yes I realize curly Joe was in the 90s, but I don’t even consider him one of the group
@@bobegan2121 Larry passed before Moe. Larry died in January of 1975, while Moe died in May of the same year.
Shemp was my favorite. When he started laughing while reading a comic book, I lost it. What an infectious laugh.
How about Curley-Joe?
@@jaylenbrownfan2112 I think he was the leased funniest.
@@williamstovall6064, he was rented for laughs?
Funny how Moe dished out all the punishment, but actually took most of the actual harm.
It was Curly that got a Stroke from being hit on by Moe ! Moe also took over Curly’s money. Moe did not like Curly on the show and after.
Shemp was always my favorite stooge... but, they all hold a special place in my heart.

Sorry for this 2nd comment, but when I was a new RN, I was assigned to caring for a young man who was shot by police after an armed robbery. He had been admitted after surgery and my coworkers said that he was nasty and that he'd make mincemeat of me. I went to see him first. He was very quiet. He wanted the TV on. The Three Stooges was on. In seconds, we were both laughing hard! 🤣 We talked about our favorite episodes and we had the same favorite. For the rest of the day, when it was time to change his dressings and give him meds, we would talk and laugh about the Stooges.
It was sad when he was discharged straight to the police and to the county jail to await trial. He was very young and ran with a violent crowd. He thanked me for treating him just like other people and saw his humanity. He promised me that he'd get out of the gang life after serving his sentence. I don't know if he made good on his promise, but I hope so.
I'm sorry to say but I don't think so because most gangs I know of act alot like the mafia does once you join it's for life some have left but not easily because there not about to let anyone squeal on them🤔
As long as he still watching the Three Stooges, you’re good right? His true humanity will be seen during his next attempt at arm robbery. Hopefully, no one that you know we love will be killed during that event.
Anyone can change, anyone can TRUST ME. I know for a fact.

I still watch them every time there on TV. Curly was my favorite. Still the best comedy team ever. They even made it on the mad, mad, mad, mad World as the firemen. I think they bring me back to a better time , a youthful time in my life.
They had a lot of really good people in that movie and I'm glad they give the Stooges that cameo as a way to honor their work. Ditto the scene with Buster Keaton as well as others too.
So many funny scenes in that great comedy. My favorite has to be when Jonathan Winters destroyed the gas station.
Shemp and curly were by far the best stooges . the two that came after Shemp and curly i never cared for ., they should have retired the act , you cant improve on perfection .
10-4
Moe was the best
The movie was okay the three who played the stooges were good give them some credit
Boo! Brad Park =/. Bobby Orr but very good in own way.
I hated Curly-Joe. My favorites in order are: Curly, Moe, Larry, Shemp, and then wayy down the list is Curly-Joe.

Without question Curly was the jewell of the legacy and quality of the trio.
“Woob, woob, woob, woob…..” simply spectacularly hilarious 😂
"Do you think their style of comedy is timeless?" Let's see. You've seen the bit 1,000 times. You know exactly what they're gonna say & how they're gonna say it. Yet, you still laugh out loud at the punch line. Yup, it's timeless.

I watched reruns of the Stooges every day after school. I always liked Shemp the best, but I could never figure out if he was before Curly or after. Now I know, it was both. I had a school friend who used to do Curly inspired routines. Never was attacked by a clam in my chowder, but that gag slayed me! To this day I still find myself humming their version of “The Three Blind Mice” as their intro.
The three stooges were the best in slapstick comedy...I love all their shows and continue to watch their tv marathons that air each year...their will never be this kind of comedy again...timeless...R.I.P to all of the stooges and the fine production staffs that made it happen...comedy classic for years to come .🎩🎩🎩

Moe, Shemp and Curly Howard were undoubtedly three of the funniest comedians to be put on celluloid but for me the most important member of the Stooges was Larry Fine. He brought his finely (pun intended ) tuned calmness and always unsuccessful attempts at reasonableness as an essential counterpoint to the full on mayhem swirling around him.But in the end The Three Stooges were one of the greatest comedy teams in Show Biz and I loves 'em all.
My brother was a great Stooges fan. He collected all their memorabilia. May he rest in peace. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
The Three Stooges only brought joy, but their story is really sad! I like them all, but Shemp is my favorite.
"Unfortunately all six actors who took on the mantle have passed away" you made it sound like there was a chance they could still be alive that would be impressive considering Moe Howard would be 124 years old.
😂😂
Yeah, but Curly Joe DeRita would only be 112...
I would totally have the Howard Brothers and Larry live to this very day if it were within my power! That mysterious longevity would be comedic.
I loved curly, he made the Three Stooges what they are today and yesterday. there will never be a group like the three Stooges, the slap-stick comedy, that physical humor that made you laugh so much your sides hurt! they were the greatest comedy team of all time! I will always remember Moe, Larry, and Curly, and don`t forget Shemp! you know we really miss you guys!
Respect from a Millennial, these guys were the greatest and will never be equaled. RIP
Thanks Youngblood! They were the best.
I respect that.
Physical comedy is a lost art and is something that needs to be explored more these days.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. Who is your favorite Stooge?

The underrated stooge is Shemp but he was also excellent along with his funny expressions and his fun fight dance.
Thanks for watching!
Shemp had the moves thats for sure
Shemp was seriously neurotic and had trouble performing

My dad turned me and my brothers on to the Three Stooges. Though I never cared for Shemp, he grew on me after awhile, especially finding out he preceded Curly ... I absolutely enjoyed this history of the whole troup...still a huge fan and hope my son and grand kids will discover them as well...I give this a 5 star !!
The 3 Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Little Rascals, Abbott & Costello...all comedic genius...nothing around today can even compare
love the Abbott & Costello routine where Abbott said to Costello..."didn't u ever go to school stupid"...and Costello said yes and i came out the same way...hahahhaha...LMAO
So true, David
And they were funny as hell without resorting to toilet humour. That was a no no back in them days.
Larry was truly underrated, he was the glue that held the two ends together 👍
I heard a comedian once say that Larry was like wrestling referees, he didnt really do anything but it wouldnt be the same without him lol.
They all had their good points, except maybe for Besser.
In Brideless Groom, when Larry gets slugged by two fists at once, from the phone booth, his expression just cracks me up. 😂 Ditto re. Dunked in the Deep and Commotion on the Ocean, when Larry gets KO'd by the pulley.
I always liked the way Moe would grab Larry by his hair and end up with a handful of it after.
He reacted to things

I was just a complete fan of the stooges...even their cartoon that aired when I was young. I always felt that they gave us all something to laugh at even when times weren't always great. They provided true unadulterated humor, no cursing..no excessive vulgarity and just enough violence!! Like a slice of home made apple pie...

Thanks for watching, Patrick!
I grew up watching these actors with my grandpa. So naturally, every time I see reruns I think about my grand father who has been gone for 30 years now. I loved watching these guys and they will always have a place in my heart. Oddly enough, two of the six actors are buried at a Jewish cemetery in east Los Angeles. It was across the street from a fire station I worked at for 12 years. I would sometimes go put rocks on their tombstone. The sheriffs even have a run named after Curly. They called it the Curly loop where they run dow Eastern Avenue from SEB and place a rock on his tombstone. I’m lucky to have worked in East Los Angeles. Such a wonderful community
Thanks for watching, JPS!
Curly was my favorite. As a child he reminded me of a baby. He was hilarious. My cousins and I always played The Three Stooges whenever we got together. We spent a lot of time on the ground laughing so hard, it's amazing no one wet their pants.😂🤣❤
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
Curley was my favorite and the most loveable character. HIs "Take off your hat. Raise your right hand." sketch in "Disorder in the Court" is classic.
I think thats where he kept putting his hat back on to raise his right hand...lol
Yep that's the one.
Moe defined the stooges for me! He was the "smart" one and who can forget his bowl cut.😂 I loved them all may they RIP!
Sam Wilson-Oh, yeah? Moe may be "smart" as you said, but he was just as stupid as the other two.
@@kevinmiller6380 Of course, he was an idiot! They all were. I was being sarcastic. That is why I put "smart" in parentheses. LOL They were funny though!
* His "Moe-hair" inspired Beatles look in mid-1960's! ☺
I read that Curly improvised his now-famous barking while scooting around on all fours bit. Apparently, he had forgotten his lines, and started doing that as a distraction. And boom, a new "trick" was born.
Thanks for watching!
I still watch the three stooges, some of my most favorite funny actors, timeless. I didn't know that Curly died so young, old fashioned slap stick comedy and humor.
Glad to know that you learned something new about Curly. May the cast members who died find peace ♥
Me also laughter is good for the soul..
It would have been so nice if Shemp Howard had acted and interacted at the same time with his brothers Moe and Curly and also with his friend Larry Fine in many episodes of the three stooges, because then Shemp would have been more recognized and valued and not just a his brother Curly's replacement, as Shemp was one of the Stooge originals and he was also talented. It would be a good try to see the four stooges together.
I totally agree
To me it would be amazing!
They did, but not all as stooges. He did mention that Curly made a few cameos during a brief period of somewhat-improved health.
My class visited the grave of "Curly Joe" DeRita back in high school. (The school was in North Hollywood, btw.) The cemetery was across the street from us and we would be allowed to walk around to stretch our legs and clear our minds. Then, we found it. I was a fan of The Three Stooges growing up. So to find Curly Joe's grave was an experience for me.
Shemp is probably my fav stooge. “Hold hands you lovebirds”. Love that one lol
The stooges were the best but my favorites are with Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp. Who can forget "Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard"? Or so many others that make me laugh even today. They were very talented comedians.
Yes they were.
I forgot that there were a few with all 4 of them.
Shemp has been and always will be my favorite. Not to disregard the other members by any means, they were all wonderful. But somehow Shemp just stood out for me in comparison. I used to watch this show religiously back in the 90's when they had the Sunday Stoogefest on one of our local networks. Great times.
feel free to disregard joe besser please
Myself as well hopeless romantic, Shemp always looking for love..
I remember watching the Stooges all the time in the mid 2000's when I was in high school. They're just one of those things that will always be amazing.
Shemp was and always will be my favorite of all!!
Shemp probably AND. CURLEY JOE. are my favourites ! ! !
Yes you read that right~~~~~~~CURLEY. J. O. E. ! ! ! !

Moe, Shemp, Curly, Larry. Talented, funny, hard working guys. Thanks for the laughs, rip.
One of the greatest comedy teams of all time," Shemp, Moe, Larry, & of course Curly". They got screwed out of millions from the studios. They still do not get the full credit they deserve, but remember it is never to late! God rest their souls.
They did better than most people know. Moe bought the rights early after the decline of the slapstick genre. When the stooges made a comeback he and his brothers did quite well. It's actually pretty odd. There were a lot of vaudeville acts who were popular for a while and then disappeared and the studios buried them. But there were a small handfull who kept their acts alive and experienced a very profitable return when TV became popular. The Stooges were one of those. Laurel and Hardy was another. Abbot and Costello too. Those did well because someone in the group retained or bought the rights, betting on them.
timeless. i love Three Stooges. i still watch them from time to time. always get for laughs. may they all R.I.P.
Moe was my favorite. He was such a short tempered dude and he initiated those hilarious fights. 😂He smacked the shit out of every stooge. It was violent slapstick but I always laughed my ass off.
Beautifully stated!
I still do!!
Shemp has always been my favorite Stooge. He was the best, by far.
Shemp is my favorite too!
Shemp was my favorite! He said in one episode, "all women marry Smith's!" I grew up and married a Smith. Is that why l said, "yes?" Maybe! 😂😂😂 But, really! Shemp wasn't scared of Moe. That's why he was my favorite! But l loved them all! The 3 Stooges, l Love Lucy, were real true comedy! From '95 until now, ldk what comedy is anymore! Lets just say the last comedy series l watched was Martin!
Yep....Shemp!! Curly was great as well but Shemp took Moe's slaps the best!! The other two never equaled either Shemp or Curly.
@@mikex6846 right!
I loved watching the stooges with my dad on Saturdays in the 60s. My mom said they were too violent but I still watched them with my dad. My dad met Moe .
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Wonderful memories. I love them all. Back in the early sixties I saw them in person in the RKO theater in New York. They were promoting there Film at the time The 3 Stooges go around the world. It was Moe Larry and Curly Joe.
A very informative piece about one of Hollywood's most iconic comedy groups. There was Abbott & Costello, later Lewis & Martin and later still Pryor & Wilder, among others. But the Three Stooges forged their unique place in entertainment history not just due to their slapstick humor, but there is only one landmark comedy trio, and they are it.
Thanks for watching, Granville!
Moe,Larry,and Shemp my favorite stooges.
