What was your favorite Three Stooges short or scene?

11 responses total.

 Oh, most of them ;) But I would have to say that I loved the courtroom
scenes with Curly and his hat; also "Hoi Polloi" where the boys get into
a evolution vs environment experiment, is just as hilarious. I remember
one of the lines "Oh Curlington"-from Moe, and Curly replies "Yesington?"
 A couple of Shemps make my list as well, the one where Shemp is set to
inherit a bundle, only he has to be married before midnite, and the one
where they are in medieval times, playing jesters in Old King Cole's
Court. Other than that, I really don't like Shemp as well as Curly and
as for Joe, well I like him even less than Shemp.

 Stooge Trivia question: What was Curly's proper name?

All of his names were proper B^}

Curly's real name was Jerome Lester Horwitz (or Jerry Howard), and he was
also the brother of Moe and Shemp.

Ack. I hated the Three Stooges. Especially when they were poking each other
in the eyes.

 There is a classic one where Curly orders a bowl of oyster stew, with
*fresh* oysters. I wish I had that one on tape, with the things he goes 
through with that wiseass oyster; Truly brilliant comedy!
  Also like the "machine gun" routine Curly does with bowler and fingers.
which usually earns him a poke in the eye from Moe.

I also enjoyed those in which Moe was imitating Hitler.  In fact, I do have
one video that includes "You Nazty Spy!", "I'll Never Heil Again," and "They
Stooge to Conga."  I especially liked it when Curly sabotaged a Nazi attack
when he thought he'd turn on the radio to hear "The Lone Ranger."

TATLONG ITLOG ba yon?

I loath slapstick humor in general, and speciffically detest the 3 stooges.
Any form of humor that makes funny of another person's incompetence I find
particularly repelant. This is also why I can't stand Jerry lewis, Don Knots,
and alot of Steve Martins and Chevy Chase's early work. Those 2 got better.

Disorder in the court. Moe and Larry playing tic-tac-toe during the 
trial. I have it on video tape, and played at the slo-mo speed, I can 
finally see what those guys were up to. BTW, played at the slo-mo 
speed, you can see that the 'eye pokes' were usually cheek jabs, and 
the response is what makes you think they are real. Great actors all. 

  And dare I say Heroes. In a time when being Jewish was dangerous, Moe and
the boys told that shithead in germany exactly what they thought of him.

re #10
They were the first in film history, too!
