The Three Stooges are one of the most famous vaudeville comedy teams of all time. The best episodes of The Three Stooges often feature slapstick bits and hilarious jokes. Some good episodes of The Three Stooges use comedy to address social and political issues. Moe Howard and Larry Fine were cornerstones of the trio and Shemp Howard, Curly Howard, Joe Besser and “Curly” Joe DeRita all had runs as the third stooge.

There is a world class museum in Ambler, PA (suburban Philadelphia) called "The Stoogeum." It is filled with thousands of artifacts, artwork, props and costumes from their films, as well as personal effects that belonged to the boys. It's a must see for any Three Stooges fan. You can check it out at the following:

As a sr engineer in the experimental airfoil dept at Pratt, I kept a 2 photo’s of the stooges on my wall. One was of them riding on a rocket steering with a rope, I captioned this one as the worlds greatest engineers because they mad simple work. The other was of them standing around scratching their heads with a completely disassembled model T with all the parts laying all across the floor. I titled this one, what happens when everyone agrees that the plan has no problems. I also had a Gary Larson cartoon of a party walking through a swamp and the first guy is hanging upside down by a snare loop from a tree with arrows, darts, and spears stuck all over him. The third guy is whispering to the second guy, “ That’s why I never go first”. My caption was “ It’s my job to be the first guy”. i had a great workforce, because they new I would take the hit, and focused on solving the problem, not blaming a person.
Those were the good old days.

Thank you for posting that. Watching those episodes was a bright spot of laughter in my childhood.

My favorite is the one where they are dressed as professors and sing the B-A-B song to the girl student.

I no longer trust ANY of these "BEST OF" threads you post; not even going to look

Party pooper. I post the best of threads, since they are not vanities.

People of various ages memorized the great lines from seeing those reruns almost as often as Highway Patrol. My parents were the age to see them in the theater and I was told “You kids are lucky. They’re all free now on TV.” True.

Great classic comedy.

Snow White and the Three Stooges — a full-length movie.

They save my sanity when I stumble on them in the middle of the night while channel surfing.

Unfortunately most Three Stooges shorts aren't that funny. My favorite though is probably "Some More of Samoa." And who can forget:

"This is Goldberg, Goldstein, Goldblatt, and O'Brien, booking agents. O'Brien speaking."

[nopardons]

That's MY favorite one too; though it might be tied with "NIAGRA FALLS"! :-)

Slowly I turn, step by step....! LOL

I DO like your threads, but the "BEST" drama/comedy/movie articles, themselves were PUERILE, UNEDUCATED, TERRIBLE and depressingly moronic.

OTOH...the comments, from fellow Freepers, were great!

I went through the first twenty and I would pretty much agree. I have been watching them regularly for 60+ years and just finished this evening’s offering on MeTV. I tend to prefer the Curly years: the energy, the stories, the gags, and everything that made the Stooges were there more consistently. There are some great Shemp episodes, and the others that were not so great might have been improved by better scripts and directors. Some of the duds were duds because the Boys weren’t given much to work with. Everything was missing during the Joe years.

That's why I post them, for the comments.

What would be National Reviews in the 80's(when William Buckley was editor) best movie list?

A young blonde Lucille Ball was in “Three Little Pigskins” (1934).

This 1-minute video has highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkiJeNxgiIM

I probably saw this episode many times as a kid and never recognized Lucy.

Swingin’ The Alphabet (1938) features a fantastic and unique version of an alphabet song.

This 2.5-minute video has the song part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmdnxtz3Bo

Curly to Moe, “Don’t you dare hit me in the head. You know I’m not normal.”

[MotorCityBuck]

"Disorder in the Court" The scene about 2-3 minutes after the image you posted with Moe & Larry had me spit out my beer when I first caught it some 25 years ago....
Larry and Moe are playing Tic-Tac-Toe on the back end of the lawyer, and when the lawyer turns around to catch them Moe nonchalantly says to Larry "Say Jasper. What comes after 75?" Larry responds "76". Moe responds, "That's the spirit". Don't know why, but that still kills me. :)
