I think I'm too young to get these guys. Way before my time.

All I know is "Moe, Larry, the cheese!"

Toss up between Disorder in the Court vs. A Plumbing We Will Go

There are so many great ones, but IMO Disorder is the best.

Disorder's my favorite for professional reasons, every year a producer comes to me and says, "We've got a scene where a guy is watching TV, writer wants it to be the Three Stooges, can you find out what that'll cost me?" And I get to say, "Their heirs will charge us $30,000 for the rights to 30 seconds of a clip... (pause for effect, prepare to help producer up off the floor (average budget for all stock footage is about $3,000 per show))... unless he's OK with the TV playing 'Disorder in the Court', which is Public Domain, so we can use it for free." "Yeah, let's do that one. Remind me to give you a raise."
 
No idea of the shorts name, but when they had to deliver the large blocks of ice up to some mansion that had a bazillion steps and by the time they got to the top the ice had melted.

:goodposting: Still use the Niagara Falls line whenever someone mentions it in conversation. Usually get a WTF stare, but it has to be said.
 
Helena: Hello Kramer.

Kramer: Oh, uh, Helena, how are you?

Helena: I haven't worked since 1934, how do you think I am?

Kramer: Well, that's only uh, 58 years.

Helena: It was a Three Stooges short, "Sappy Pappy." I played Mr. Sugarman's

secretary, remember?

Kramer: Yeah, right, right, yeah, yeah, that was a Shemp, right?

Helena: No, a Curly. The boys played three sailors who find a baby, the baby's

been kidnapped and the police think that they did it.

Kramer: Uh huh, right.

Helena: But, but of course they didn't do it, the police had made an awful

mistake.

Kramer: Right.

Helena: Moe hits Curly with an axe,

Kramer: Uh huh.

Helena: The Stooges catch the kidnappers,

Kramer: Right.

Helena: But it's too late.

Kramer: Really.

Helena: The baby's dead.

Kramer: Really?

Helena: The boys are sent to Death Row and are executed.

Kramer: Well I don't remember that part.

Helena: I play Mr. Sugarman's secretary.

Kramer: Oh, yeah, yeah, you were, you were very good.

Helena: Yeah, it was sad for a Three Stooges, what with the dead baby and the

Stooges being executed and all.

Kramer: Well, that was an unusual choice for the stooges.

ETA - "A Plumbing We Will Go"

The episode where curly is a boxer and everytime pop goes the weasel plays he goes off. Could be Larry Fine's Finest moment. When he is running down the street knocking people over, then steals the truck. Pure Genius.

 
Thee Little Pirates is my favorite. It's also the last Curly.

Some classic lines in Disorder, though:

"Please drop the vernacular"

"Vernacular? That's a Derby."

:rolleyes: Great one. So hard to pick just one. The short when they're on a train is also good. While Curly was the best, I was also a big fan of Shemp and Larry.
 
The Three Little Beers - Stooges on the Golf Course - a Curly classic

Favorite Schemp Episode - the Goon

 
Another great one is "Micro Phonies" when Curly poses as an opera singer in drag and, with the help of the attractive blonde who's in many episodes (Christine McIntyre), sings "Voices of Spring" at a snooty recital.

On that same premise, the episide "Hoi Polloi" - the one that has them transformed into high society blokes Pygmalion-style - is also very funny.

Loved those guys...

 
More trivia:

Three Little Pigskins

Film Date: 1934

In their fourth 2-reeler for Columbia, The Three Stooges are mistaken for college football heroes by a beautiful gangster's moll, played by Lucille Ball.

Cast:

Moe Howard - Moe

Larry Fine - Larry

Curly Howard - Curly

Lucille Ball - Daisy Simms

Three Little Pigskins is famous for providing an early supporting role to Lucille Ball, who plays Daisy Simms, the gangster's girlfriend. Lucille Ball would always credit the Stooges with introducing her to "slapstick and physical comedy."

 
Other trivia:

Joe (who replaced Shemp later on) did the voice of Babu in the animated series I Dream Of Jeannie.

My favorite line is from number 2...Foo-foo older college matron - "We have a wondeful student body".Moe - "Yours wouldn't be so bad if you lost about 20 pounds"

Good one - I think that's in one of the (many) episodes that pokes fun at high society.

Yes, one was an early prototype of "Trading Places" minus any rich guys being thrown out on the street.
 
Plumbing is my fav. I used to laugh like #### at that cook slipping and sliding all over the kitchen floor with his rain gear on.

Disorder is great too!

<----nyuk, nyuk, nyuk

 
Every time I hear that weasel song, somethin' pops inside of me.

The Three Stooges were ahead of their time. I love the Stooges.

I don't know the names of the shorts, only the lines.

My friend and I used to quote their lines all the time.

One clip the threee are being taught how to be gentlemen.

They are sitting at a table with a man reading a book.

Larry: See the deer. Does the deer have a little doe?

Curly: Sointenly, 2 bucks!

************************

Another episode, they are doctors and they are escaping the authorities

using a gurney.

Moe: Give it more gas!

Curly: I have the throttle wide open.

************************

 
No idea of the name and vaguely remember the whole short.

I think the Stooges were acting a pest control group and had to drum up some business. Their solution was to release some mice into a high society party. Who needs mouse traps when you have a bag of cats?? Mayhem ensues and as I remember they dumped some cats into the piano that played out for a 2-3 minute bit.

At least that's how I remember it. Will try to find it on youtube a little later.

 
I think it's one of the ones where they try to make the guys nto gentlemen. At one point, Moe says to Larry and/or Curly, "Mingle or I'll mangle."

Alma Matter: I see you've decided to major in criminology.Moe: That's right, ma'am. All we want is the facts, ma'am.Shemp: We chose criminology because it's scientific.Larry: Indeed! In a lexicon of crime, it is theoretically propounded that passion, inhibition, and delinquincy are the major contributing factors.Moe: Not to mention corruption of mind, destestations, and schizophrenia, if I may be so sesquipedalian.Shemp: A jerk with a quirk may do the work. Or, a turk with a dirk may stick a clerk.
 
AMC shows these early weekend mornings. I love putting them on for my 6 year old son just to hear the belly laughs they generate out of him. We were watching one morning and there was an episode that featured a very young Lucille Ball.
