Moe’s daughter wrote about her childhood. She said growing up with Moe and her “uncles “ was a child’s dream. They were kind but always cutting up for the kids.

Anytime you need a good laugh or 5, the Stooges will ALWAYS deliver ☝️😂

I grew up watching The 3 Stooges, and I never once thought it was ok to slap someone, let alone poke them in the eye. If only they made shows like this today.

Watching The 3 Stooges along with Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry was my childhood and then decades later, I got my kids hooked on them. I bought all the DVD’s of the stooges and when my boys moved out, the DVD’s went with them.

I still watch the 3 Stooges. Back in 74 some friends drove cross country. Larry was still alive, and they visited him at a nursing home and spent some time with him.

I've only heard about these guys before, so many references to the 3 Stooges around but no visual connection to them. No wonder they were popular, this had me cracking from the first sight of them! Thank you Jamal for spreading this outside the US, and I hope there's more to come!

The Three Stooges were First!!! This took place around 1936!!! I have the Whole Stooges Collection!!!! The Stooges were the KINGS of Slapstick Comedy!!!!

Stooges dominated the 30's, first film was actually 1930, Abott & Costello appeared in the 1940's. Laurel & Hardy dominated the 1920's

If no one has said it, The Three Stooges - "Malice in the Palace". 😂

Looked down by high culture, still beloved today

In the mid seventies I was visiting my Granny from out of state. Every afternoon The Three Stooges would air on her tv. They came on and she visibly shuddered. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “They make me nervous.” she answered. Haha. Always think of that kind, sweet soul when I see these three.

The father of the three (Moe, Shemp and Curly) is in the audience. Look for a guy that looks like Theodore Roosevelt in the front row.

When I was a kid during the 70's, my older brother (by 10 yrs), would wake me up on the weekends in the middle of the night to watch Abbot and Costello, the Stooges, etc. Best. Upbringing. Ever.

When they show the first row crowd shot while Larry and Curly are using Moe as a musical instrument, the gentleman on the far right is Moe and Curly's father.

The first official Three Stooges short was "Woman Haters" in 1934 although they had existed in one form or another since around 1930 or so. Abbott & Costello came onto the scene in 1940 and lasted until 1956 (Lou Costello died in 1959). The original offical Three Stooges (starting in 1934) were Moe Howard, his baby brother Jerome ("Curly") Howard, and their friend Larry Fine. Curly's career ended with his massive stroke in 1946 and brother Samuel ("Shemp") Howard filled in until his own death in 1955. Joe Besser replaced Shemp for about 2 years, and finally, Joe DeRita became the last "Stooge" replacement from 1958 until the full trio's act ended in 1970. Most Stooges fans agree that the original line-up (starting in 1934) of Moe, Larry, and Curly were, by far, the funniest shorts. There were a number of very funny shorts with Shemp early on, but neither Shemp nor those shorts were nearly as funny as the ones with Curly (with perhaps a few exceptions). (By the way, Curly had NO training as an actor and very little experience as a comedian; many of his reactions were ad libbed by him during the filming of the shorts). I believe you can find "Malice in the Palace" and "Sing a Song of Six Pants" in the public domain (both are with Shemp but both are hilarious!) The Stooges were nominated only once for an Academy Award, for the short "Men in Black" (where they portray doctors).

Been a fan of the Three Stooges since I was a kid, love them. Thanks for posting this, if you do another do the one where they play doctors in a hospital called Men in Black, it's great.

Grew up in the 60s watching the Stooges. They still remain hilarious. 100 years later.

They are hilarious I haven't seen them in years. Great reaction makes me lmao 🤣🤣🤣 we need some humer in our life.

my young sons and i bust our guts laughing on saturday mornings watching the stooges! fun stuff lol

One of the very best episodes ever!

One of my favorites

I am old have been watching them near all my life. They still make me laugh and disorder in the court is one of their very best.

Abbot and Costello were active from 1935 - 1957; the Stooges were active from 1922 - 1970, so they're roughly contemporaneous. Both acts got their start in vaudeville. Abbot and Costello were two people who worked well together, though it's said they didn't like each other personally. The Stooges were the Howard brothers (Moe, Shemp [who swapped in and out of the act], and Jerome, aka Curley) and Larry Fine, who was a cousin. The Stooges were always very careful with their physical comedy. When Moe did his 'eye poke', he always aimed for the brow ridge, so there was no chance of damaging Larry's eyes. Larry was a comedy violinist before he joined his cousins in the act. There was a TV movie made about them in 2012 that might interest you. It's available through KZfaq Movies & TV.

Wow the colorization in this is amazing! I grew up watching these which were way before my time even, and it was all black and white. Sometimes you'd run across one that had been colorized but it wasn't really very good. You'd rather watch him in black and white. But this looks amazing!

Classic. I haven't watched this in 20+ years, but I can basically recite this word for word. So much nostalgia

I grrew up watching these guys and I still do. They are hilarious and I will never stop watching them. They are legends.

This one is my favorite! The best line is when the lawyer tells Curly to drop the vernacular (slang) while he is testifying, holding his hat in his lap. "Vernacular?! That's a doibee!"... Does anybody else think the defense lawyer looks like a grown-up Spanky from the Little Rascals!?

"Controlled chaos," a perfect way to describe the lost form of entertainment called "Vaudeville." Most people don't pick up on the absolutely perfect timing that these guys nail on every prat-fall, one-liner, & setup; but you took notice right away & you're right: if a physical gag wasn't executed within a fraction of a second, someone could have been seriously hurt. The Howard Brothers (Moe, Curly [Jerome], & at various times Shemp) & comic musician Larry Fine rehearsed, innovated, & refined their act so well that they were unflappable in the "trial by fire" that was Vaudeville. They were live performances that traveled all over the country, similar to a circus, & the hours & travels were grueling. A lot of other comic acts, like Abbot & Costello, Laurel & Hardy, & the Marx Brothers, had to often work on-the-fly & perfecting the practice of improv was the determining factor of whether you swam or sank. Suffice to say that the Stooges' act was Olympic-level across the board. Their success in short-form films was a seamless transition.

Me and my grandfather used to sit around and watch old clips of The 3 Stooges before he passed away in the beginning of 2016!!! My favorite stooge was Curly and I couldn't stop laughing because of him!!!

The masters of slapstick comedy.

I've been watching them since the early 60's! They never let you down......

"Hey, you're in a court, not in the woods, Tarzan."

I remember watching this in B&W on vhs so many times at my grandpa’s house. This is my favorite sketch out of them all.

I grew up watching these guys and I WILL NEVER STOP BEING A FAN !! These guys make me laugh so hard !! 😂 But it's got to be the main 4 - Moe, Larry, Shemp and Curly. Original O.G.s of laughter !! 👍

This was so funny 😂. I wish there were more reactions to old comedy.

There has always been a constant in my life. If I'm down, sad, angry, frustrated, or anything negative, I watch some Three Stooges and the world gets right again.

My Mums favorite episode. We just watched it Saturday when I was visiting.

I've been on a Stooges binge the past week or so, so this is a nice surprise. Their humor still holds up, and all of them were comedic geniuses.

Jamel… If Abbott & Costello’s classic “Who’s on first?” was able to stay up, it’s highly doubtful you’d have any problems or issues with the 3 Stooges. I could binge watch them all day, all week, all month etc 🫵😂👍

Two of my favorites are "Idle Roomers" with a great mirror gag and "If a Body Meets a Body" with another parrot and a skull. The Stooges had a mix of comedy styles. They had slapstick for the low brow set and wordplay for the more sophisticated types. When I was a kid back in the 70s and 80s, I had an uncle who had lots of movies on the old reels. When we visited, he'd get out the projector and we'd watch some Three Stooges and other movies like King Kong, Dracula, and others.

The Three Stooges were Comic Genius's......they will never be duplicated nor should they be. They were truly one of a kind.

Every single person in this marvellous clip has long ago passed on, and yet it's like they're still with us.

I have trust issues with folk who don't laugh at the three stooges 😂

I grew up watching the 3 Stooges and they still crack me up!

So fun fact. Curly's grandson Curly G has a youtube channel and goes live every thusday afternoon(6ish. PM.west coast) and they do loads of stuff . Curly G puts out Stooge videos of his current set of Stooges. Moe and Larry thru in a small history thing of counting from 75 to 76. The spirit of 76 was about the American Revolution. Love it Keep it coming ma man!

Just what a person needs to brighten their day

Pure mayhem, first to last. And everybody has a press in their house or even in the court so you can crunch somebody's head!🙂

I remember watching the three stooges after school with friends of mine and drinking coffee (I was in 2nd grade Ann Arbor, MI) still watch to this day.

Back in the late 70s- early 80s, we had something called the midnight movies at local cinemas. 3 Stooges shorts like this and then it was Pink Floyd live in Pompeii or Led Zep Song Remains the Same, or The Who "Tommy"...

Shemp was the older brother, followed by Moe, and then Curly. "Hold That Lion" is the only Three Stooges short that has the three Howards and Larry Fine. The man with a full head of hair, asleep, with his derby over his face to be removed by Larry is Curly. Shemp Howard 1895-1955 Curly Howard 1903-1952 Larry Fine 1902-1975 and 4 mos later... Moe Howard 1897-1975

Each Stooges short lists a director. I've always figured he had the easiest job in Hollywood. I can see him now: "okay, do something stupid." Then, after about 15 minutes, "alright, that's enough. It's a rap."

Back in 2012 they made a Three Stooges Movie, and you might want to check it out. The actors they got nailed their characters, and while it's not exactly Academy Award caliber stuff, it is pretty funny - if you like the Stooges like I do.

Obviously this is the colorized version. This is my all time favorite episode of The Three Stooges. Glad to see you are getting it out there.

Louis Feinberg aka Larry Fine was an accomplished violinist. Moses Horowitz aka Moe Howard and his brothers, Samuel Horowitz aka Shemp Howard, and their youngest brother, Jerome Horowitz aka Curly Howard. Shemp left Stooges for other things, but he returned to Stooges after Curly suffered many strokes and unable to performed the acts. At 48, Curly died in 1952. Shemp died in 1955 at 60. Both Larry and Moe had other comics stepped in the act until 1975 when both Larry and Moe died.

The copyright date on the film's credits reads 1936. Abbott and Costello started out in 1940.

I grew up watching the Stooges and still love them to this day. This line up (with Curly) is by far my favorite.

Many things in court, like the deceased Curt Robin (from a nursery rhyme, Who Shot Cock Robin), and Buck Wing (a famous dance step) were references to famous things of that era.

The Three Stooges began first, starting in 1922. Abbott And Costello began in 1935.

I absolutely adore The Three Stooges. My favorite short is "If a Body Meets a Body"

Gail Tempest the actress playing her, was a Rockette, i believe one of the founding ones, and she lived at 10 Central Park West until she died.

One of my favorites. I have it downloaded. Whenever I need a pick me up, I listen to the Curly takes the stand portion.

Classic comedy delivered with a slap! Priceless!

Curly is one of the funniest men to ever walk this earth.

Three Stooges was part of our morning ritual when I was a little kid. You’d get up, get dressed, and get some cereal and watch. Then, right as the show was ending, we’d hear the school bus coming.

There was a tv movie made about them in the late 80's- early 90's it was pretty sad how the studios made promise after promise for them to do movies and all they were ever allowed to do was these 15 min shorts. They had no idea how popular they were until tv started showing them and kids became such huge fans. It showed Moe being invited to the taping of one of these kid shows where they showed their old shorts and the kids went crazy when he walked out on stage it brought him to tears.

Intermittently between 14:55 - 15:05, if you look behind Moe, Larry and Curly while they’re standing behind the bird cage, just behind them to the right, you catch a couple of quick glimpses of Moe and Curley’s parents sitting in the front row (Sol and Jenny Horwitz).

It’s really amazing that these movies are 70-80+ years old, and I’ve seen them all dozens of times, but they all still make me laugh. The impact these men had on the comedy world is immeasurable. Go watch them all!!!

Every morning before school I watched the Stooges. It was my favorite show. 😄

The stooges are timeless and the greatest of all time….

Watching this as a kid, I laughed sooooo hard. Loved the 3 stooges. Moe, Larry, and Curly were my favorite combination.

If I remember correctly, the Shooges first appeared on TV on channel 7 WNAC Boston MA, on a Saturday morning while I was eating Corn Flakes. It was a long time ago, so I could be wrong. Unlike the kids today, I'm lucky enough to have had a childhood on Saturday mornings.

0:17 - 0:19/ Actually, The Three Stooges were way before Abbot & Costello! Officially, A&C first appeared in the 1941 comedy film BUCK PRIVATES. The Three Stooges were doing Columbia Shorts since their 1934 debut in WOMAN HATERS. Before that, they toured with comedian Ted Healy as His Southern Gents. I believe they did a film with him around 1929, just as sound was being used for motion pictures!❤

i looked forward to watching the Stooges when i came home from school each day

Man, the Stooge's were visionaries. Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk.

The Stooges started in 1922 as a part of the vaudeville stage act "Ted Healy and His Stooges". The originals were Moe Howard, Shemp Howard and Larry Fine. Shemp left to make movies in 1932 and was replaced by youngest Howard brother Curly. The Stooges split from Healy because they felt the weren't being paid what they deserved and started making shorts in 1934. Curly had a stroke in 1946 and Shemp came back to the group. Shemp died in 1955 and was replaced by Joe Besser. that didn't last long and "Curly" Joe DeRita took his place and stayed with them until they ended the act when Larry Fine suffered a stroke in 1970. Bud Abbot and Lou Costello had solo careers as burlesque comedians in 1920s. Abbot started in 1922 and Costello started in 1928 after a few years as a Hollywood stuntman. The duo first teamed on stage in 1935 and went to radio in 1938. they made their first feature film in 1840 and made movies together until 1956. In 1951 they started doing live television on the Colgate Comedy Hour until getting their own show in from 1952-1954 (future Stooge Joe Besser was a supporting cast member). While they were once the highest paid actors in Hollywood during the 1940s, their popularity started to decline when Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis hit it big in the 1950s. Abbot & Costello dissolved their partnership in 1957.

Disorder In The Court, one of my all time favorites, "Malice in the Palace" is another good one

Arguably, their best short.

Thank you so much for this; I needed this laugh tonight! Grew up loving the Stooges on tv in the 60's; found a man who loved them as much as I did. We even had the "Stooges Medley" played instead of the song, "The Bride Cuts the Cake" at our wedding. Laughed SO much. If you want to see the Stooges at their funniest, I recommend any short that has "pie throwing".... and I believe there are excellent compilations of their pie throwing here on KZfaq. I love watching your videos; you are such a bright light in my day! Bless you.

Curly had a series of strokes starting in 1946. Shemp replaced him in 46. Abbott and Costello were on stage in 1935 then radio and movies by 1940 a Night in the Tropics.

07:00 "Spirit of '76" was a revolutionary or patriotic spirit in line with the Revolutionary War, 1776. It's also the name of a famous American plane "Spirit of '76."

loved them for 60 years

The Three Stooges started in Vaudeville in the twenties they started making short movies in the late 30s. Abbott and Costello started in the late 30s I believe so they both were around in the forties and fifties.

I was literally born into the Three Stooges. My mom's stepdad was a "dirty" comedian, shock laughs. Mom and I would go to her parent's house and have movie/dinner night. I've only seen this in black and white on a VHS tape "I'd" record these on daily. It literally brought me to tears. The black n' white, my grandpa... I'm glad you enjoyed it. Good slapstick is hard to come by these days.

The Three Stooges came first, starting of the 1920s. Abbott and Costello started in the 1940s. If I'm not mistaken, I think this is the episode where Curly had a stroke and soon died afterwards. So they had to replace him with their other brother Shemp. Moe, Curly and Shemp were brothers, Larry came in later . Shemp was one of the original Three Stooges, but then he quit, so they had to get Curly, the younger brother, to take his place. So after Curly died Shemp came back, but a few years later Shemp died, so then they had to get Joe Derita to take Shemp's Place. Joe Derita quit after a short time, so then they brought in Curly Joe who remained with them until the end. Both Moe and Larry passed away in the 1970s, but Curly Joe was much younger than they were, so he lived until the 1990s.

I quote these guys at least twice a day in my comings and goings

One thing for sure, it was aptly named. Hilarious. Y'all be safe.

Always loved The Three stooges it's part of my childhood very hilarious and I will always continue on to be a stooge fan

Both Abbott & Costello and Three Stooges were fantastic! I think they were both making movies about the same time.

I used to watch these guys on Sunday mornings from 11 to noon.

Absolute Classic! You have a ton of good episodes to react to. Worth it

Imagine: these guys started in the early 1930s. That's less than 10 years after "talkies" motion pictures started. 30 or so years after the first motion picture silent movies! Entertainment prior to that was of course live stage entertainment. The most popular of which was 'Vaudeville:' comedy troops who would travel the country doing skits on stage. "Slapstick" was one of the more popular genres of Vaudeville, and dealing with the new motion picture medium, slapstick made its way into early films like this. The 3 Stooges were actually a series of film shorts. To be played before main movie features. Cartoons too: used to be (LooneyTunes made its bones as pre-film entreatment). Remember: There was no TV in those days. Today, of course, it's endless advertising that precedes the movie in theaters. But in the day: 1930s through say, 1970s it was common to have film shorts and cartoons as theater entertainment prior to the main feature. Moe and Curley Howard were half brothers Larry Fienstein was not related, but stayed with the troop to the end. May I suggest "An Ache In Every Stake" and "Cactus Makes Perfect," 3 Stooges shorts. Brilliant!

Love the stooges was glad when Columbia released the volumes of their complete shorts and Warner brothers released the 4 shorts they did for them had to add them to my collection along with all the movies and cartoons they did

Hell Yeah! My favorite all time skit!!

lol funny stooge reaction Jamel! Disorder in the court has always been one of the best stooges shorts! A little piece of trivia for ya, right at 11:01, the man sitting in the front row, 2nd from the right facing the camera, is Solomon Horwitz! Moe, Curly and Shemps father!!

It’s good to see a reaction to the Stooges - always funny. Take a look at Abbott and Costello perform “ Who’s on First?”.

Qué lindo volver a ver a los 3 chiflados, lo mejor de mi infancia!❤

I loved them as a kid

2:15 That lawyer was introducing "Howard, Fine, and Howard" because those were the Stooges' last names; Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard.

I like them as the lawyers, Dewy, Skrewum, and Howe

Love Disorder in the Court 😂❤❤ one of my top favorites
