Who is your favorite of the Three Stooges?

Curly, hands down. I can't even watch the ones he's not in, because the whole time I'm just thinking how much better it would have been with Curly.
 
Did you guys know that the original Three Stooges was supposed to be Moe, Larry and Shemp? Curly came on after Shemp wanted to go solo.

The early Curly shorts were awesome. The ones in the last year he performed weren't as good because of his health issues. His voice and body changed due strokes.
 
I didn't think anyone ever chose any Stooge over Curley. He's hands-down the best of the Stooges. And I'd have left off Joe and Curley Joe, if anyone would pick either one.. they need their head adjusted.
 
I picked Larry. I know everyone will pick Curly, but theres something about Larry I like. But Curly is my second favorite.

I agree leaving Joe and Curly Joe of the list. Who in the hell would pick either of them? "Not so hard." Queer.
 
The main reason I put Joe and Curly Joe is because I figured some smarty-pants would say, "Uh oh, you forgot two."

I like that mean little bastard Moe. When he would slap those guys around it was hilarious. Curly is a close second for me.

I wish AMC would show the Stooge shorts now instead of Spike. Spike has those commercial breaks right in the middle of the shorts. AMC would show the whole short uniterrupted.

Does anyone know if there are any GOOD dvd sets out for the stooges. Not these "5 shorts" sets, but something substantive?

Nope. There has never been any collection released. That is probably due to the fact the the Howard and Fine descendants make more money by licensing use to TV stations. When AMC's NYUK (with Leslie Nielsen) was on a few years ago I taped as many as I could. I also downloaded some from Usenet. I managed to purchase the full length "Three Stooges meets Hercules" from a video store going out of business. Got it for $ 4 bucks. Not bad for a hard-to-find and out-of-print movie. I would rather have a complete Stooge Collection more than anything else DVD related.
 
I am thinking about using Stooges or Star Trek sounds and quotes for system sounds. I have a lot more Stooge .wav files than Trek.
 
Curly is the most memorable, yet the first to die.

The Stooges hold a special place in my heart since one of the Cinemaware titles I worked on was a Three Stooges game. We didn't do the NES but it was based directly on the C64 version that was ours. For a few months I had to live, eat, and breath Three Stooges lore, especially since I was a tester on all of the version and the game included a trivia section.

Coolness! :cool:

Yep. The game used a LOT of voice and audio samples to an extent that was unprecedented. A lot of time was spent trying to conceive in joke using those voice samples in new ways. By fortuitous chance, there was one bit of Curly saying "Hey! We're in the wrong game!"

The opening had players confused because it was the title screen and music from 'Defender of the Crown,' the company's first big title. Then the Stooges walk out, Curly says his line, Moe declares them both idiots and smacks them around. Then the real title screen kicks in.

I'm not sure if the PS1 or GBA versions preserve that part.

I think some like it due to Curly's universal appeal but women generally just don't like it as much as guys. Maybe they started off watching the "Woman Haters" short, lol.

Epobirs thanks for reminding me about the GBA version. I need to seek it out.
 
I am three stooges collector. I even brought those 5 episodes sets from each one from Columbia. I currently own about 15 of those including the full feature films. I know you may think it suck, but they sure do make those shorts pretty good restored and quality is good, and last of all, include closed captioning for me since I'm deaf. I'm satisfied with them.

I hadn't considered that point. Hopefully they will released them all in the future.
 
Have any of you seen any colorized shorts? There is one on Jamie Foxxx "Breaking all the Rules" movie (why on that movie is beyond me). It's the Hoi Polloi short. Although I will always prefer it in black and white, it was cool seeing one colorized at least once.
 
The three stooges needed moe more than anyone, they couldn't survive without him (even though he was the most important one behind the scenes, I'm just talking about the actual episodes), but curly was the best. Seriously, he will run away with every poll you make unless you find a larry fan club or something. Though he almost did make a comeback, but he got sick again or something and didn't (it was gonna the middle eastern short and they had a scene at a dinner table and the waiter kept coming and going, can't describe it too well). They were also gonna replace larry when he got sick, but shortly after moe died so that's how it ended (or larry died and moe got sick, can't remember who died first).

And a few other things that seem relevant, but I don't know how to work them in:

Larry really did get hit by moe in the shorts according to a bio I saw on him. His skin had become harder on the side he was always hit.

Joe is the only one to ever hit moe, and he hated being slapped so he didn't get slapped

Curly joe was named that since moe figured they had a joe and they had a curly, so why not curly joe

My mother loves the stooges (and my father hates them), I know women in my generation who like the stooges, but never saw a 30+ year old woman who liked them, my mother being the only exception.

They also have colorized some of the movies, the first one, a musical, with that other guy (when it was shemp, larry, moe and their manager). Then the snow white one (or some fairy tail), and a third one I can't remember. I keep seeing them for cheap (6 or 10) in fye.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']The other guy was Ted Healy.

That was the "Three Little Pirates" short with the Maha skit that I think you are talking about.[/QUOTE]

oh ya, I've only seen his name twice, once while watching a biography, and again when I watched the movie he was in with the stooges (shemp, not curly). Never saw him in a short with the stooges though.
