Moe, Larry, and Curly could be in a plain white room. No tables, no shelves, no objects. It would just be those three in the room and can still make a hilarious scene out of it.
My older brother loved the 3 Stooges and did a great Curly imitation, even into our adulthood. He always made us laugh. We watched them a lot growing up in the '60's. Now when I see them I think of him. Both he and Curly died too young.
From what I heard, the person who was in charge of producing the stooges shorts was rather harsh with them. Also, comedy today is not the same as comedy back then. There are people I have spoken to who have no idea who the Three Stooges or other comedians like them are. It really is a sad state of affairs sometimes how the world works.
To Lord Of Creativity-You're thinking of Harry Cohn. Whe n Curly fell ill in 1945 it was Cohn who forced him to wor k rather than give him time o ff to rest after he started ha- ving all those mini strokes. I t was also Cohn who kept th e Stooges in the dark as to t heir true value to Columbia. Cohn also made the boys cr uelly sweat it out each year before signing them to a ne w contract.
@@kevinmiller1985 It is fitting that in the end, his only legacy is that he is remembered as the person who treated the Stooges cruelly and is distained by those who like them. While the Stooges themselves are a timeless comedic team who manage to bring happiness and laughter to us even after they are dead. The roles have effectively reversed.
1940 was the year when Curly was at the peak of his comic energy...some of the very best Stooges comedies were those made in the late '30s and early '40s...the performances,direction,gag writing and storylines were of a high caliber and laughs come frequently......
1:10 to 1:14 is Larry's finest moment of teaching us why having common sense would really help in scenarios like this. Then again, this could be an awesome prank to do to your friend when fishing on ice water.
What was the deal with in films and shows back then with characters implying that the only day to take a bath was on Saturday? Like when Curly says to Larry when he falls into the water "what you taking a bath for? It ain't Saturday". A similar example is in a Laurel and Hardy episode when Laurel pretends to take a bath while hiding a girl in the bathroom while Hardy tells the wife "he's taking a bath, he couldn't wait til Saturday". Did people only take baths on Saturdays back then?
If you didn't find these three reprobates hilarious, I would have to question your sense of humour. I loved these guys from day 1, back in 1964 that being my first introduction at the Odeon cinema.
They are not really out in the cold! It was filmed indoors on a sound stage! It's pretend! In reality someone would have mentioned the cold! But this is pretend!
You could argue the three stooges brand of humor is overly violent, immature, and sometimes racist. In today's world, maybe, back then, it was par for the coarse. One thing you could not argue, "Hey Larry, this fish looks like Moe," is the best comic line ever. The best comic minute, when Curly masquerades as a female opera diva. Brilliant.
As it turns out.. after 41 long, enchanting years, I am the biggest fan of "The Boys" that I know.. but there have been a few good contenders over the years.. And to find the "most classic" film footage ever, is a Real Chore.. but it's Soitenly moments like these, that will always speak 4 themselves.. "this fish looks like Moe.." "It IS MOE.." classic stuff here.. u either 'get it' or ya don't>>>> so what are u waiting for??>> timeless>> classic>> 'los tres ghjivatos'>>
