Well he ain't lion, but he had a lion. Hahaha....ha.....ha...I'll see myself out.

My favorite is when he ends up twiddling thumbs with Curly! 🤣

Hey! Did you see three fellas come up here?

Thankyou Dudley. May you continue to RIP.

One of my favorites too. I can see why it had everyone including him laughing so hard. You can hear it in the final release of the film. XD

Not only that, but it was supposed to be Moe, but Dudley did a better job and was more funny.

Yess! Agreed!!

PoppaBlue59 Kent loved him. He always has me Rollin

*Those few seconds of Silent Scream always kills me. He made Horror Reactions his own and can never be duplicated.*

When Curly was unable to be part of the trio, Dudley was actually considered for the part of the third Stooge!

@@IrkenExile really, wow, shemp and moe had super great chemistry together

The Jewish were certainly the victims of plenty of it in that era too. Luckily it didn't rob us of the Stooges, or the Marx Brothers.

I remember reading Moe's autobiography that he and the other stooges refused to perform to segregated venues.

@@melissacooper4482 true

Yet another reason to love the Stooges.

@@johnmac91 indeed bro indeed

LastAvailableAlias lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

Z3ph7r amen to that. His eyes & facial expressions were unique

That was a good one!😂

Lol lop

What'd the MGM lion doing riding on a train. Lol

😂My favorite, too!😂

@@lorrainem8234🤣😂 my favorite "what who's gonna grab who" 😂😂🤣🤣 dudley was a big laugh🤣😂😂

@@reneebrown1362 I ❤ Dudley 😍

Renee Brown you’re a racist skunk!

*I wish he'd been in every episode. His few seconds of Silent Scream kills me!! xD*

@@MAGGOT_VOMIT yeah, he was Hilarious! LOL!!! 🤣 I wish they did give him more credit for his Crazy Humor! As a matter of fact I loved the goofyness he had.

I laughed the Harder when he saw Curly with all that Plaster all over him, and he screamed while his Hair Went up in the air, LoL!!!! 🤣

Aw man... RIP Dudley Dickerson. 😞 We won't forget you.

Shame, ain't it?

In the background a director had a laugh if you listen closely!😀

Chef: You fellas lookin' for somethin'? Guest: A glass of water. Chef: Turn on anythin', you'll get it!

Dudley Dickerson did have "what the hell?" moments.

In fact in those days it was very rare to have a black person in episodes like these.

Not so rare, but they were playing stereotypical roles like cook, porter, security guard, etc., like Dudley played in these shorts. Dudley appeared in something like 134 films (mostly shorts).

Great timing on the dude

@@MichaelBradley1967 that time was during when Blacks (no offence) were being mistreated as not equal (before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made his speech).

LOL😂😂😂😂😂

Just read it while he said it

PanteraMark Yeah, he was a bit too Scared when it took 2 or 3 seconds to remember the Cops saying they were killers. "Wait a minute! Who gonna grab Who?!!!"

I liked how he turns around, sees Curly covered in paste (or something, I can't remember), flinches, then goes "You sho is ugly". But I just love seeing him on the screen. He's hilarious 😂

What would YOU say if a light bulb filled with water?

Doug Montgomery Someone has their wires cross

That's one of Dudley Dickerson's "what the hell?" moments.

Paul Floyd LOL!!😂

I'm gonna start looking for this line in every wonderful Dudley clip, like I do with bird references in Kaitlin Olsen clips.

Me too

Steve Jay beware the waffle iron! It bites!

Me too

You mean the exploding wall ☎ telephone. He looked like he seen a ghost 👻 afterwards. That's my favorite part, I just died laughing.

@@1981deloreanfan who ever heard of a waffle that bites. But this one sure did poor guy and Dudley screamed Let go of me.

😂😂Yassss I was dying🤣😂😂😂😂

That’s funny!😂😂😂

One of my very favorite gags! Still crack up at it.

A line repeated by Moe & Emil.

I still say that line from time to time. Still get a laugh 😂

Great commedian indeed.

Bucky468 agreed! If they had him to replace Shemp, it would have incredibly amazing! He probably would have matched Curly or atleast come a close second to Curly. So sad because of the racial barriers back then it wasnt possible

@@Devi1_Z joe

3 years later he would have turned 113 on November 27th which is my birthday 🙂

You made me laugh out loud, imagining a kid saying that around his parents when he's fed up

GLING His eyes would always get sooooo big.LOL

Nicholas Abate And the first African American stooge.

YOWZA!

maybe the seventh (after shemp, joe and curley joe)

He would make a good stooge.

What about Shemp.

Jack Box He was the one. 😁😝😍😉☺😊😀😀😄😁

Jack Box I LOVED him. He was a laugh riot.

Hey also play in the lol rascals

saudade2100 you're right

And Dudley himself is cracking up, too!

True! Good thing they didn't cut that out! It was so funny to them and us!

yes I did hear them

saudade2100 Moe said that was a favorite gag of Jules White, to have someone stabbed or bit on the ass and scream "I'm losing my mind!" They used that bit half a dozen times.

2019

2020 still going strong.

@@theomartin19 Seconded!

Mid-December 2020. Note to self: come back on a few weeks....

He would've been tickled to see us laughing and enjoying his performances

Moe, Larry, and Dudley. Now that’s a treasure we never got the chance to see, it would have been incredible.

Unfortunately, it was segregated America.

They actually wanted him to replace Shemp but the producers vetoed it.

Yes indeed

@@Powerranger-le4up Of course they did.😑

John Studd hayl no. I could watch the stooges all day. Never gets old. Or boring

I just love the way he speaks!

1:23

you said it perfect same here loved his movies also

I culled some footage from your vid for a short tribute to him on IG. Hope that’s okay. No one owns The Stooges, but I admire the time you spent putting it together. I’ll give you a shout out if you want. Cheers!

+ebaylistentomusic It was definitely 25 years before the first interracial kiss.

@@MichaelBradley1967 well, interracial or not we're all Human. I used to know a White Woman who Married a Black Man. They were very close and I thought it was cool. I'm a White Man with some Cherokee Native American Ancestry. But I have a Girlfriend who lives in Great Britain named Tia Mason. She's doing everything possible to help her Mom and her little Sister with things. She's probably saving as much money as she can to afford the US Citizenship and Plane Ticket to America. It'll definitely take time though.

It might just be me, but I'd prefer moving to the UK myself. Good luck either way.

@@MichaelBradley1967 Thank you. She's actually more Latina/Irish Mix, and you know how Beautiful and Charming Latina Women can be. 😏

Michael Bradley And in 1960, Rod Serling cast Ivan Dixon and other African Americans on The Big Tall Wish, the 27th episode of his show, The Twilight Zone. The Twilight Zone would win the Unity Award for Outstanding Contributions to Better Race Relations in 1961 for that same episode.

. .

Correct. Though a second "last" episode was filmed. "In June 1948, Howard filmed a second cameo as an irate chef for the short Malice in the Palace (1949), but due to his illness, his performance was not deemed good enough and his scenes were cut."

I heard something about the three stooges wanted Dudley Dickerson to be a regular stooge, but the studios didn't want a black man with the stooges. Well, it would have been three Jews and a black man, so what was all the fuss about??

YES!!!

@@CurlysGrandson yesss indeed😂🤣🤣

Agreed

Moe agreed! Studio should have listened.

He was considered the fourth stooge.

civita t it sounded like the lion was laughing

Thanks for posting Michael!

As a young 'un in the 70's, my favorite short was *Gem Of A Jam* in no small part because of Dudley's performance as security guard. It's still in my top 10, even though I've gravitated more towards the early Curly's.
