I'm buying some "Stooge Nyuk's" for a fan of theirs for Christmas. In general are the features better than the TV series?
Forgive my Stooge ignorance

 

[NutBucket]

CURLY!!!!! Ya need a fat guy if you're gonna do comedy (Laurel & Hardy, Spade & Farley, heck even Penn & Teller)

agreed. Joe and shemp sucked compared to the big C. Joe especially SUCKED big time

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Ug, Joe, don't bring him up.
Curly of course.

I've read that Curly and Shemp were brothers in real life, any truth to that?

[Brutuskend]

Any of you old timers remeber these guys?

I had pretty much forgotten all about them, until I started thinking about Stooge Movies...

Curly Shemp and Moe were the Horowitz brothers methinx

edit>> Usually the Curly incarnation is best, but sometimes Shemp gettin' slapped is pretty good

morkinva is right - Curly, Shemp and Moe were brothers in real life. Curly's real name was Jerome, Shemp's was Samuel, Moe's was Moses.

Blain, when you say "features", if you mean the full-length movies like The Three Stooges meet Hercules, they are crap. Stick to the 18-20 minute shorts (the ones they show on TV). Get the ones with Curly or Shemp as the third man, and avoid the ones with Joe (Joe Besser) and Curly Joe (Joe DeRita). When they started making the feature-length movies they were getting pretty old and they aren't as funny IMHO.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Bush, Ashcroft and Curly.

 

[Blain]

Thanks for the input, it's really helpful.

 

[Analog]

make this a poll dude.

 

[jjones]

Definately Larry, Moe and Curly. Shemp was great too but none of the other third men could compete with Curly for the funniest slapstick.

 

[Blain]

I ordered Micro Phonies and In The Sweet Pie And Pie.

Those should make any "Stoogie" nyuk for a long time to come.

 

[Spooner]

Curly, hands down.

Nobody's gonna say Shemp

 

[notfred]

The stooges have never been funny.

 

[Blain]

notfred,
I'm pretty much with you on that. But what can I do? The guy didn't want any Little Rascals

 

[loup garou]

Curly, no contest.

Lamer. Stooges pwn j00. Stooges are the definition of slapstick comedy.

Those are two good choices. The second tape has one of my favorites, "Playing the Ponies." The Stooges are running a small restaurant and Moe serves lunch to a customer. A small dog appears and starts growling at the customer.

Customer: "Why is that dog growling at me?"
Moe: "Oh, don't mind him. He's just mad 'cause you're eating off his plate."
