The Three Stooges
The Three Stooges.
We all must have some favorites with these funny guys.
I know it's hard, but post one of your favorites from them.
I have many.
No religion or politics and please be polite.
Thank you : )

I'm stooge addicted. I can make plans to cook and cruise on the couch during "Stooge a-thons"
Curley was probably the most popular and my favorite as well.
I used to like them when I was a Kid, They're what I call "Stupid Comedy" along with the Airplane and Police Academy movies, Monty Python, and many others including the Ron Burgundy movies. I enjoyed Stupid Comedy when I was young but I grew out of it, that's not to say I can't enjoy a stupid joke, skit, or gag I just can't watch it for more than five minutes, it wears thin fast.
The slapstick was funny as a kid, as I became an adult I dug into the histories and techniques they used.
Now, I watch camera angles, and the sight gags as an art. And all 3 brothers were so different from each other personally in real life.
Should have embedded the video. Link takes you to youtube vid of Curly running the football, Moe and Larry on the ice cream cart throwing ice cream in peoples face. Classic.
It's possible I have seen all. For whatever reason, that one is my favorite.
My favorite Three Stooges bits would be something like Curly getting hit in the head with a frying pan and then slapping himself in the face until he gets mad enough to retaliate. There is a physical absurdity to it that is timeless.
Another would be when they stick his head in a vice and turn the screws. Pain is turned into absurdity, which i think somehow actually reassures people. I still catch the Stooges here and there now and then if I see there is something on.
My favorite Three Stooges bit is "Slowly I Turn".
Can someone please put up a video stream on that?
I think you will enjoy it too.
Thanks.
Peace and Abundant Blessings (And A Belly Laugh or Two Wouldn't Hurt Either).

P.S. When my brother and I were growing up, we once saw Moe, Larry and Curly Joe playing poker at the Stage Deli in Manhattan NYC.
When they were breaking in a new deck of cards, Moe came over with Larry and Curly Joe and they autographed pictures of themselves for us without being asked.
When our cousins Seymour and Abraham told them we were their to celebrate our birthdays they bought us each Corned Beef sandwiches on rye bread with sharp deli mustard.
Some things from childhood you recall all your days.
