Actually, I may be one of the few who thought the movie wasn’t bad at all. There were several great routines .. the lobster in Larry’s pants springs instantly to mind .. and I thought that the actors themselves not only bore a great resemblance to the Stooges but acted and sounded enough like them to suspend belief ...
I have watched a few Stooges shows with Ted Healy, and I don't get it either. He was obnoxious, backstabbing and vicious and I didn't think he added anything worthwhile to the act.
After school line up as a yout;
Wild Wild West and then,
the Stooges.
Yuk Yuk yuk
Hey I resemble that remark!!
Is this posted today because of Aqib Talib?
The group performed under a couple of names: Ted Healy and his Racketeers, Ted Healy and his Southern Gentlemen, and Ted Healy and His Stooges. Also, in addition to Moe, Larry, and Shemp, Ted Healy's group included another member named Freddy Sanborn. His character never spoke, but whispered in Healy's ear whenever he needed to communicate with him. Sanborn was with the group for a couple of their MGM shorts.
I saw an old black and white movie (not stooges) that had Shemp as a serious actor. Strange sight.
It’s team, not group. Sheesh, if you can’t even get the terminology correct! I tear out my Larry Fine-like hair when I read this stuff!
Curly was the funniest guy that ever lived.

When I see “The Three Stooges” it makes me laugh.
You’re referring to “The General” (1926), arguably Keaton’s best work. He performed virtually all of his own stunts on the train; many of them would have killed him had they gone awry. The General had a huge budget ($750,000) for the silent era and included some impressive sequences, including a sequence where a bridge collapses as a train crosses it.
For whatever reason, the film fared poorly at the box office, and Keaton never had as much artistic freedom on future projects. Another little-known fact: Keaton was a baseball fanatic; on location, he typically shot during the morning, then spent the afternoon playing ball with his fellow actors and crew.
Classic lines:
“Niagara Falls . . .”
“Moe, Larry, Cheese”
“Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk”
“Lady, you must be psychic”
“wooh, woooh, wooh, wooh, wooh . . . .”
It was previously only open one Sunday a month, now open every Thursday. Glad we got to visit.
Containing close to 100,000 pieces of Stoogeabilia, the Stoogeum (rhymes with museum) offers fans a chance to view a vast array of artifacts which celebrate the legacy of this legendary comedy team. The 10,000 square-foot, 3-story building houses anything and everything Stooge. Artifacts from 1918 to the present are on exhibit, including several interactive displays. The Stoogeum also contains a research library, a 16MM film storage vault and an 85-seat theater used for film screenings, lectures and special presentations.
The Stoogeum is also the headquarters of the Three Stooges Fan Club, one of the nation’s oldest and largest fan clubs with 2,000 members world-wide. An annual meeting of the fan club brings together Stooges relatives, supporting actors, impersonators and fans with the Stoogeum at the hub of the event.
The Stoogeum is located at 904 Sheble Lane, Ambler, PA 19002
Never thought they were funny.
I read that Wallace Beery was one of the guys who killed Healey.
Classic, "slowly I turned..."
Legacy[edit]
In the decades that followed, many comedy stars, including Milton Berle, Bob Hope, and Red Skelton, cited Healy as a “mentor”, and a significant influence on their careers.[21]

Moe, Larry and Curly were captured by the enemy.
Enemy Leader: “Choose which way you want to be executed — to have your head chopped off, or to be burned at the stake.”
Curly: “Burn me at the stake”
Moe: “Why?”
Curly: “Well, because Hot roast is better than cold chop, Nyuk, nyuk nyuk.”
(BOINK goes Moe ). LOL.
Amen, brother!
