The Three Stooges…Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk…how funny these guys were, at least to me. I can remember watching them everyday, Officer Joe Bolton would start off the show with a little speech and always explain that you should never do what Larry, Curly, and Moe do.
I so loved Officer Joe.
The Stooges comedy was called slap stick comedy. Slap stick was an appropriate name…Moe did the slapping and Curly and Larry got the slap stick out of them. My granddaughter, Sophia, was introduced to the Stooges one sleep over night.
See, My Husband still watches them on Sunday mornings.
It seems that no matter how many times I watch them, and even though you can predict what is coming next, I always laugh at their antics.
Here are some of their silly statements that still make me laugh…
“I’m doing the elevator dance.” “Elevator dance?” “Yeah, there’s no steps to it.”
“Let’s play post office.” “That’s a kid’s game.” “Not the way I play it.”
“And what were you doing in Paris?” “Oh, looking over the Parasites.”
“How’re we gonna shoot golf without guns?”
“He’s for onesies, you gave him twosies.” “Here’s fivesies!” [SLAP!!]
“Fire at will.” “Which one is Will?”
“How dare you hug my wife in front of my eyes!” “Well turn around, and I’ll hug ‘er behind yer back!”
Gee, I wonder if I looked like that when I was delivered by the stork?” “When you were born, you were delivered by a buzzard.”
One of my favorites was Niagara Falls routine…
“Niagara Falls! Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch, I walked up to him. I smashed him like this, I hit him, I bopped him, I tore him to pieces, and I knocked him down!”
You know I say this routine when anyone says Niagara Falls…can’t help it.
All that slapping, eye poking, hair pulling, and not to mention Moe pushing Curly and Larry around. But, this is what my generation grew up with i.e. Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, Road Runner, Mighty Mouse, and of course the Stooges.
Moe, Larry and Curly are coming back to the screen- The Three Stooges 2012 –
These guys are a hard act to follow
