Christine McIntyre and Shemp had such great comedic chemistry. Every scene they do together is brilliant.

Larry: "We made it! It's 6:00 and you're married!" Shemp: "What happened? What happened?" Moe: "You're married, kid. Say something!" Shemp: "HELP!! HELP!!" (runs away) LOL!!!

Shemp was always my favorite stooge. His expressions were so funny, just the way he would react to things.

Shemp is my favorite stooge. 11:56 lol

Shemp is underrated!

Shemp is great!

I think what makes me appreciate the Shemp era most, is that Larry feels more involved than he did during the Curly era

Love it when Shemp's hair gets all messed up. Thats funny to me. 😁

Shemp was my favorite stooge. And fun fact shemp was the original 3rd member before curly. So he’s technically not really a replacement. But I think after shooting a few episodes he didn’t want to do it anymore or something like that. So he got replace with Curly. But then Curly got sick and died so Shemp came Back

I love it when Shemp is covering up and Christine shouts, "Don't you dare strike me!" Then she starts smacking him again.

Love the sound Shemp makes when Larry says "Go get her, Shemp". Cracks me up.

Christine McIntyre broke Shemp's nose with that punch. She was mortified, but Shemp consoled her.

Shemp has always been my favorite Stooge. He is the original. Ted Healey and His Stooge. He is also the oldest of the Howard brothers. Fun Fact, in the scene where Christine McIntyre is supposed to slap cousin Basil she couldn't make it look real (she was too nice to hit) so Shemp whispered something derogatory to her and those slap on film are real. He never said what he whispered. He did make up with her and she forgave him.

I just did some research about the episode Brideless Groom and found out that one of the supporting actresses in the episode named Nancy Saunders, died on 6/13/2020 at the age of 94. That’s fairly recent. I like doing research to see if any Stooge supporting actors/actresses are still alive. Here are some fun facts about the episode: Emil Sitka is the name of the actor who played the justice of the peace. On his headstone it says "Hold Hands, You Lovebirds". I think that is very sweet. One more fun fact is that during the scene where Christine McIntyre thinks Shemp is her cousin Basil and then proceeds to slap him around and then finally punch him through the door. Christine had trouble doing the scene because she didn’t want to hurt Shemp. This is how the director Edward Bernds described it: "In the story, Shemp had a few hours in which to get married if he wanted to inherit his uncle's fortune. He called on Christine McIntyre, who mistook him for her cousin (Basil), took him to her apartment and greeted him with hugs and kisses. Then the real cousin phoned and she accused Shemp of kissing her, as it were, under false pretenses. At this point, she was supposed to slap Shemp around. Lady that she was, McIntyre couldn't do it right; she dabbed at him daintily, afraid of hurting him. After a couple of bad takes Shemp pleaded with her. "Honey," he said, "if you want to do me a favor, cut loose and do it right. A lot of half-hearted slaps hurt more than one good one. Give it to me, Chris, and let's get it over with". She got up her courage and, on the next take, let Shemp have it. It wound up as a whole series of slaps - the timing was beautiful; they rang out like pistol shots. Shemp was knocked into a chair, bounced up, met another ringing slap, fell down again, scrambled up, trying to explain, only to get another stinging slap. Then Chris delivered a haymaker - a right that knocked Shemp through the door. When the take was over, Shemp was groggy, really groggy. His nose was broken. Chris put her arms around him and apologized tearfully. "It's alright, honey," Shemp said painfully. "I said you should cut loose and you did. You sure as hell did!"

Justice at peace:"Oh my piano!!!". Larry:"Shut up!!".

Brideless Groom is one of my favorites, hilarious!

"Hold hand you lovebirds!" Is on Emil Sitka's tombstone, which he's best remembered.

Christine Macintyre legitimately broke Shemp's nose with that last punch. It's always painful to watch that scene knowing he really got hurt.

Shemp is just as funny as Curly, but in a different way. One thing that makes them both funny, is what you do with their hair. Of course Curly's name itself is a joke off his no hair, and we consistently see him grabbed there, and Moe comes up empty (Curly had an empty skull too you know). Shemp's hair is funny too, because it always goes flying when he gets beat up, etc. I think Shemp had the longest hair of the whole team.

The "Voices of Spring" record at the very beginning was actually sung by Christine McIntyre (Miss Hopkins) the blonde who thought Shemp was Cousin Basil.

Little bit of trivia: Christine McIntyre had a hard time with the Shemp slapping scene. She felt horrible laying into him like that, but Shemp told her “It’s okay, really let me have it!” After the scene was over, she was so upset, she cried.

Shemp wasn't Curly's replacement. He was one of the original three along with Moe and Larry. Shemp and Moe were brothers. After a while, Shemp decided to go off and have a solo career, and that's when Curly joined the group. He was also the brother of Moe and Shemp. The group achieved their greatest popularity during that period, then Curly had a serious stroke, and Shemp returned to the group. That's no doubt why you thought he was a replacement for Curly, but originally Curly was a replacement for Shemp. When Shemp died of a heart attack, he was followed by Joe Palma (AKA "The Fake Shemp"), then Joe Besser, then "Curly" Joe DeRita.

Moe: You mean you'll REALLY marry him? Miss Dinkelmeyer: Oh, of course. He's my little ol' dreamboat!! (Shemp looks at her and cringes) Your little dreamboat has sailed (tries to escape while mimicking the sound of a boat horn) Me: X'DDDD

The biggest laugh in this one for me is Shemp's "Moe, where's your hat?!?" in the phone booth scene, as well as when Shemp's face is smashed against the glass.

Technically Shemp was the original Stooge before Curly took over.

Whenever Moe slapped Shemp and his hair would fall over his face. Insane! :-)

"You are too fortissimo, too allegro, too Cointreau.". "Cointreau" is an orange-flavored liqueur.

The Three Stooges is an absolute classic. I grew up watching it because my old man did back in the day and I couldn’t get enough lol. Top tier comedy

Shemp had some bit roles in Abbott & Costello and W.C. Fields movies.

There's a lot of great lines in this short, but my favorite line in this is "you wouldn't hit a lady with that?... use this, it's bigger". That's a very good joke. Second favorite line is "that was before I read the papers. Now I accept. Okay, toots. Let er rip" 😂 the timing and talent that actress has👌 I also felt the same way about Shemp as you did. It wasn't until a few years ago that I began to appreciate him as a stooge.

Love when he slides into the piano..sound effects are perfect!!!

"Hold hands, you lovebirds" soon became the most famous line in the short, and is even on Emil Sitka's tombstone. When the Stooges disbanded in 1970 following Larry's stroke, Sitka formed the core of The New Stooges, playing the role of Harry. But they never took off, and themselves disbanded within a year.

The part that made me laugh hard was when he goes sliding across the floor to smash into the piano after being attached to it through the piano's wires, then suddenly released. Now THAT's funny!

Crazy to think that Moe, Shemp and Curly were brothers in real life

Somewhere on KZfaq I have seen a clip of Moe on the old Mike Douglas daytime talk show. Moe was married to the same woman for over 50 years and Mike introduced her because she was in the audience. Moe walked out into the crowd to greet his wife and when he did she hit him in the face with a pie.

Shemp and Moe were Ted Healy's two "stooges" onstage even before they discovered Larry doing his vaudeville act and invited him to join them. When Curly had to quit due to illness, Shemp left a successful solo career to rejoin the Stooges. I enjoyed your reaction.

Yes,Shemp was in everything,back in the 30's and 40's.Abbott and Costello,WC Fields,The Andrew Sisters(Private Buckaroo)Pittsburgh,(John Wayne),I just finally saw Hellzapoppin('41),with Olsen and Johnson,big Universal comedy team,he played Johnson's cousin Louie Martha Raye was also in it.

One of my favorite episodes of all of them

Glad to see someone appreciate Shemp! Curley was really Shemp's replacement, not the other way around. Shemp was an original Stooge! His talent and humor was different than Curley's, but just as great!

Man, I love all the sound-effects...cloth tearing when the hair is grabbed. I'm expired.

"a poor weak helpless woman...." *Proceeds to beat the living crap out of Shemp* -Classic. :)

shemp, curly, and moe are brother's, if you didn't know. i love the stooge's lol.

Awesome reaction. Three Stooges are an all time favorite :)

This short and Disorder In The Court are me and my best friends favorite Stooges film. Even Malice in the Palace when Larry is chopping up the vegetables and the dog is barking on the window and Larry and Moe think Larry’s chopping up the dog. That’s hilarious!!!

Dee Green, the actor who played Miss Dinkelmeyer, was actually a talented vocalist, as shown by her ability to wreck “Voices of Spring” in her inimitable way. She taught music and choir in Peoria, Illinois. And by all accounts, she was quite good

What I like about Kay's reactions ,is she doesn't block out the sounds of the three stooges, for someone so young, Kay you know your comedies, and I love your laugh, keep up the good work Kay, you are brilliant!!!!

"Larry's really not into this." I was thinking he musta had a rough night!

In their previous short, Curly made a cameo appearance.

Gives me nostalgic memory. I watched since I was a kid.

New sub here. The Three Stooges never gets old.

Shemp has grown fond on me over the years. He looks like my lady neighbor. 😂

These guys are hilarious, they say laughter is the best medicine, I don't know about that, I nearly stopped breathing looking at these exceptional comedians. Hi Kay if you have the time, check out , a snitch in time, poor Moe gets an awful time with Larry and shemp....

Shimp and Curly both were funny in their own ways. Its the 3 stooges nothing else needs to be said.

In reality, Curly was Shemp's replacement. It also took me a while to appreciate Shemp's talents. As I got a little older I began to realize that Shemp was an artist, himself and now, at 55, I love the episodes that include him. I can watch their episodes anytime, day or night and they never disappoint. They are true legends.

You should also check out Sing A Song Of Six Pants and Malice In The Palace. Those are hilarious and also have Shemp

Shemp is in plenty of movies with some of the top actors of the era. He always seems to be a shemp in all of them.

I love the three stooges, my favorites are Larry, Shemp, Curly, and Moe.

Another great show, thank you. I have seen that one a few times, I laugh every time. Shemp is just as funny as Curly. They each had their own method of doing things. I think there is another version of this one possibly with a deleted scene. Thanks again.

Curly was actually Shemp's replacement from the original trio when Shemp left the act in the early 30's to pursue a successful solo career. It was only after Curly's health began to decline in the mid 40's that Shemp came back to save the act. He was a stand-up guy and my favorite 3rd stooge. Nothing against Curly though. He was amazing in his own right.

Half a million in 1947 (when this short was made) would be about 6.2 million today. I'd marry Shemp for that money, lol.

"We ain't getting no place fast!!!" Thats the story of my life!!! Great hat... those were my University colors!!!

Shemp was always my favorite besides Moe

Great Shemp episode! You might appreciate Pulp Fiction now that you've seen this one.

Interesting story about Shemp. Before they were the "three stooges " they worked with Ted Healy, it was originally Moe, Larry, and Shemp. Over time Shemp wanted to move on and with Moe, Shemp and Curly all being brothers, they had Curly replace Shemp and they left Ted and did there own thing. Curly unfortunately couldn't continue after a stroke and health problems so Shemp took over. Unfortunately, Curly passed in 1952 and Shemp in 1955.

The actor playing the Justice of the Peace that marries Shemp and his New Bride,in real life was in line to be one of the future stooges...

I love this episode. Christine McIntire, who played Miss Hopkins, was not comfortable slapping Shemp around in that scene, but Shemp told her after a couple takes to just let him have it. He said "A bunch of half hearted slaps hurt more than one big one...so let me have it, Chris." She did it, and after the take was over, she rushed over to Shemp, who was very groggy after the scene, and she asked him if he was ok. He told her, "I told you to let me have it and you did. You sure as hell did."

Larry Fine really played the piano and also violin. 😀

Ahh the three stooges, classics! love em! Thanks for posting the reactions on youtube!

I’ve been watching this episode since I was a kid and would rewind almost every scene that cracked me up. Especially when Moe and Shemp were stuck in the phone booth and the expression on Larry’s face after getting punched. Watching this for the first time as a toddler my dad and I wouldn’t stop rewinding the part where Shemp hits his face on the piano. I have so many memories with this episode from watching it with my dad to watching it with my friends and seeing others react to it is so awesome.

Your laughing is so contagious and makes the scenes even funnier.

I don't know a lot of female Stooge fans out there so it's refreshing to see your reaction to these shorts, great reaction to Bridless Groom. Keep up the great work Kay.

Thank you for creating your channel!! I love coming and watching your reaction to all of the videos! Your laugh and reactions are priceless and it makes me laugh even more! Visiting your channel is a great escape from the world for a while and to laugh and get away from all of the depressing things that are currently happening in the world today!!

One of the funniest stooges' short, if not the funniest!

I love watching these classics. I love watching these with anybody cause we all laugh and start calling each other wise guys and imitating them

A movie to watch "the outsiders" also a great book

Very understated response. I was laughing out loud all the way through this.

You have great taste in comedy, and I enjoyed this with you. Your reactions were spot on. A lot of comedy critics consider Shemp to be the most polished of the Howard brothers in his technique. My favorite Shemp line comes from the Pardon My Clutch episode when after Larry gets lassoed around the neck and hoisted up with the luggage , and Shemp scolds him and says; "You can't ride that way, you'll unbalance the load !"

Shemp is like a fine wine. He gets better with age...bebebebebebebe!

great, yeah it was really funny, i laught a lot... thx kay your so kind

Christine McIntyre looked like she was really connecting with some of those slaps. She was also a classically trained singer. When she answers the phone and says "Hello" to Uncle Basil, it seems to have a very melodic tone to it and her soprano voice seems to come out.

I have every 3 Stooges episode from Curly to Joe Besser from 1934-1959 and Joe Durita from 1959 until their retirement and Larry's first stroke in 1970; actually Shemp was actually with Moe and Larry and Ted Healy until 1934 and he decided to go pursue a movie career so he was replaced by Curly from 1934 until his first stroke in 1947 and then he came back from 1947 until his death in 1955

In a previous short, Moe and Larry ended up marrying Shemp's sisters. The inheritance was merely a ruse to trick Shemp into getting married too.

This one had 2 of their long-time sidemen, Emil Sitka who was in 32 shorts & films and Christine McIntyre who was in 22 shorts plus remakes.

Kay this video was so amazing keep up the good work

Oh, I love the Three Stooges, and this is the best short ever. When I first saw it, I was dying.

Shemp! Thanks for sharing this fun episode Shemp always the enigma of the bunch !

12:38 The punch was real. Shemp told the actress to hit him as hard as she can. As she refused, he said “Honey, if you want to do a favour, cut loose and do it right.”

That's my favorite part as well. She's in numerous Stooge productions. Lovely and funny as hell.

Definitely one of my favorites and this was the first Shemp short I ever watched too. I'm glad to have grown up watching Shemp and not just Curly. I was so confused why Curly wasn't there as a kid but I've come to understand over the years.

I must have seen this short ...a million times.....at least more than once! But I NEVER get tired of watchin The Three Stooges . Never ever!

Shemp's love interest in the movie - Dee Green - was actually an excellent singer and it's fairly easy to tell in the beginning that she is struggling somewhat to sing off-key.

Yes, this one! So hilarious Shemp episode

The three stooges will never fail to make me laugh even on my worst day!!😁👍

8:22 I still LMAO at that!

Larry: You okay? Moe & Shemp: Smack! Smack! (🤜 🤜) 🤣

I love your videos. Happy Memorial Day!💜💙💚💗

Thanks for showing the stooges, been a fan since the 70’s used to watch after grade school was out

funny thing is to when Christine punched Shemp through the door, that was a real punch and Shemp really did fall through the door

Moe loves smacking them around 😂

This the one where Moe said "get the eff off of me" to Shemp in the phone booth.
