  • I'm 55. When I was in 3rd grade (1964), Moe Howard came to my 3rd grade class. From what I remember, he was the brother or brother in law of my 3rd grade teacher. I remember him as being quiet and kind and looking kind of tired.

  • @MythicWaveProd - That must have been pretty cool to have met him. Moe was indeed a very kind man in real life. He was a life-long smoker, so that's probably one reason he looked so tired aside from advancing age. He'd also lost two of his brothers within three years of each other. All the Stooges and their fellows have more than earned their rest.

  • @Sparrow9612 Yeah, I did know who he was back then so it was cool. But I'm still unsure of his relationship with my 3rd grade teacher. I think she said she was his sister but in reading about him I see he had no sisters. Maybe just a friend.  This was in Rye, NY - about 45 min from NY City.

  • I saw them at the CNE but couldn't remember the year thanks.The new remake looks hilarious they look and sound so much like them ,great tribute.

  • Priceless...

  • thats not the stooges as kids ...this was the stooges more towards the end.

  • @JohnyVain Learn to read . It says when we were kids we met the three stooges.

  • i miss them ! :(

  • Wow! Lucky you. Sadly I remember when Moe died on the same day as my birthday in 1975... I was 9 years old.

  • Im 41 and that video song  everything was beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!It brought a tear to my eye thanks for posting

  • It kinda looks the the opening credits of The Wonder Years.

  • Sorry name of the song is oh very young.

  • Cat Stevens is the name of the artist. Where do the children play.

  • What is the name of the song playing in this film, and who is the artist?

  • That looks like Larry, but that doesn't look like Moe and Curly.

  • @fireworkboy1 That's moe but not curly. He was dead at this point. That was Joe DeRita, (Curly Joe). Curly Howard was put down by a stroke in May 1946.

  • @chuckbyf1, Oh yah, I forgot that about Curly. But that still doesn't look like Moe.

  • @chuckbyf1 Curly (Jerome Lester) Howard died in Jan. of 1952

  • Here it is 2011 and I still stop on The Stooges whenever I'm flipping through the channels, looking for something to watch. They were and will always be true comedic geniuses in my book. Such a sweet piece of film, thank you for posting it.

  • @liz326522 I watch them on AMC at 5am in the morning during the week. It varies though when they are on at that time. I heard that someone is doing a movie of them. I will not watch it . What do you think of this news? labelashavoc (:~>?=

  • roadyrider, you said it perfectly.

    How about summer nights playing Hide-and-Seek on the block . . . no fears, Mom and Dad on the porch with the neighbors . . . I am so grateful I have these memories.

  • america was great then - smaller government (less corrupt) no scum mexicans mooching off welfare and taking our jobs away ,

  • @jrjr143 Haaa...Haaa sore loser, so the mexicans won cuz u have no job

  • I grew up on Air Force Bases in the 1960s. We played outside, too. We rode our bikes without helmets or knee pads and when we crashed our bikes, we cried and bled and got back on and kept riding.

  • @OakPark11MileRd I think that you know what I meant by "no electronics", everyone else seems to understand what I meant. Oh, and I'm really sorry about you having to wipe your ass with a baseball glove as a child, that must have been very messy and uncomfortable.

  • It's as fake as your mom's boobs are!

  • this is fake lmfao

  • thank you for posting .......these are priceless!!!

  • I remember that Marlon Parks always 'sent his assistant' to chase down the animals for the camera in M of O Animal Kingdom! He was a very smart man, Lol!!

  • Thank you.

  • You met two original stooges, Moe and Larry. The third guy was a fill in after both Moe's brothers (Curley and Shemp) died. that other stooge was Curley Joe. 

  • Treasure!! Yes, that is CurlyJoe

  • By this time, Curly is dead, right?

    

  • i kind on want to cry

  • What are those funny things with wheels those kids are on? Where are their ipods, Nintendo DS and cell phones? Wierd.

  • Wasn't that Joe?

  • @AmericanPowerBase you would have gotten a black eye and a bloody nose by all 7 of us brothers if you had called our baseball gloves "toys" 40 years ago! Those were "fightin' words", Lol.

  • this is awsome

  • Thank you for sharing this wonderful footage.

  • tjis is gold man

  • It seems to me that the only real stooge in this video is possibly Larry. Moe and Curly don't look right.

  • @fishblades I believe that it is Joe not curly

  • @fishblades It's Curly Joe Derita, the original Curly died in 1952.

  • @fishblades Doofus, that's Moe and larry, Curly was dead Thats Joe besser

  • i envy you! lol

  • I too was the CNE but the memory isn't as quaint. My brothers and I taking the side streets off Dufferin Street which was near the bakery before the railroad tracks. To sneak in you needed to run across the tracks. We noticed a long black limo with tinted windows which we assumed was one of the stars at the Grandstand, which we knew was the Three Stooges.

    We surrounded the car windows, banging on the windows. Larry rolled down the window but told us fuck off kids and rolled it back up.

  • @gcmcknight That's hillarious...oh by the way Larry called and asked me to tell you to "Fuck off"" again.....

  • Why did it look like they were getting ready to do hellooo Helllooo HELLOOOO bit in this footage lol

  • I too saw the Stooges at the CNE. People think I'm crazy when I tell them this. Thank you for this film. Wonderful to see - and to know I wasn't the only kid who saw them!

  • Wow!

  • wooow joe de rita

  • thats really really really cool to have. 

  • Wonderful footage! Thanks for sharing.

  • Fucking hell!! Where's the second gunman?

  • this is just amazing...

  • Wow and to think i spent 300 dollars at the EX and  no one lol stooges "our gang" benny hill would of been awsome

  • best part is with all your modern day anathema somehow you filmed this episode...kinda very modern almost as if you would complain about how modern life is...relax its still great to have seen em

  • wow look so peaceful sure wish i was born in those days now you have to be careful of what you wear because you can get shot over some dumb reason

  • I grew up in the 1960's with no electronics and no McDonalds. We were always on our bikes or playing baseball (thumbs up if you slept with your baseball glove under your pillow). I remember water-ballon fights, ice-cream trucks, chili-fritos, "be on the porch by sundown", Saturday morning cartoons, Sunday night racing to get the best seat (you had to say "my place is safe" if you left for a moment, or lose it!) to watch Wonderful World of Disney, Mutual of Omaha Animal Kingdom, and Bonanza!

  • @roadyrider yeah, sounds like my childhood too. Summertime or weekends we would pretty much be out "all day" playing....and we did not need constant parental contact via a cell phone. I virtually lived on my red Raleigh "Colt" bicycle. My older teen sister always had her "AM radio" on listening to fabian, Pat Boone etc....and running to the phone to call in to the radio station to win a prize, late saturday night creature feature monster movies chomping Jiffy pop drinking cokes

  • @roadyrider I grew up in the late 70's / early 80's with all the exact things you mentioned (except Bonaza). Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night, Wild Kingdom was awesome and of course Saturday morning cartoons. Hanging out outside from the minute we got home from school with friends on our bikes and we played baseball every day, till we heard our fathers yelling our names from the front door to come home for dinner.

    I did get an atari as an early teen, but it did not rule my life.

  • @guyinfl99 We had an Atari too butI remember Dad buying an "Intellevision" game. I think those were pre-Atari and even though I was older by then, we had some big fights over who's turn it was to use it, including Dad, Lol!

  • @roadyrider I grew up in the 70's, (born 1967) and the way you describe your childhood is exactly how mine was as well. Same things.  Amazing. Only difference was we had Little House on the Prairie, the Brady Bunch and Sanford and Son, in addition to the shows you mentioned which I also enjoyed.

  • @roadyrider What about The Undersea World of Jacque Cousteau?

  • @nickstoli Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that show but, wasn't that on another night?

  • @roadyrider I believe it was on Sundays, as well. Not positive, though.

  • @roadyrider Sweet days gone by!

  • @roadyrider back then, times were simple.

  • @roadyrider

    Yes, you're right and I can remember that, too.

    The world stinks today. I guess that means I'm an old man now. So be it.

  • @roadyrider Seems to be you live some glorious years =)

  • @roadyrider back then time were simple. i didnt get to expence that since i was born in the 90's but i would have like to. at leaset they still had ice cream trucks in the 90's.

  • stooges!!!! this is amazing

  • What a privilege. You were a lucky kid. :)

  • great 8mm film my dad had one of those i was born in 1967 grew up wit them after school have a friend who worked wit moe larry curleyjoe he says moe was always miserable that was b4 he died

  • that had to be early to mid sixties when i grew up, yea we left our front and back doors unlocked all day, we went over our friends rang bell or knocked on door, they would yell out who is it ? and in you go. we played ball in the street til the mosquitos and dark stopped us, yea it was a great age.

  • Anyone looking for a good Youtube channel with many 3 Stooges shorts, go to Darius' channel: 69789Darius

  • That is an excellent video.

  • beautiful

  • i just received a Three Stooges record as a birthday gift. on the cover it has Moe, Larry and Curly joe. Above theirs heads is a Banner that reads "Al Dobritch presents..."MATINEE FUN~ FEST" Canadian National Exhibition Aug. 20th - Sept 1st. the album is framed so i'll have to do more research to pin it down to a year.

    way cool

    thx for the video

  • This is precious!

  • I remember seeing them there also. I was 5 or 6. We have an autographed picture of them still.

  • Nice..... Just remember ppl we are living in the good old days right now. :-)

  • Thanks for this. I was at their show at the CNE. Always wondered what year that was. I am now 60. I was so fascinated with watching the sound effects guy (in front of the stage in view of the audience) that I hardly saw the Stooges. I knew I wasn't seeing Curly, my favorite but always wondered who the third Stooge was. Now I know. Thanks!!

  • Thank you for sharing this wonderful glimpse of your childhood with the world. 

  • Nice video my friend.

    The tune selection was perfect!

  • Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

  • wow! nice!

  • This is way too too awesome! thanks for sharing.

  • Having a film like this is magic. I know you must treasure it now even though you may have had no idea what was going on at the time. Congrats !

  • It's funny that whenever curly washes veges / food, he always use that thing that cleans clothes to clean food lol.

  • where are they?

  • Awesome, thanks for sharing!

  • Thanks!I met moe in 1965 in a Cleveland shopping center circus similar to what you have here.He had white hair & I was shocked!

  • Curly died in 1952 so this couldn't have been recorded in 62/63 unless that's Curly Joe in the footage.

  • joe.

  • great video

  • i was very foutunate to meet the three stooges i was a bell hop at a hotel in fall river mass, i took there luggage to there rooms i was very lucky to get autographs from moe larry and curly on a piece of stationary,i still have those autographs in a safe,and when i feel like a laugh i will break out the autographs and remember back to a fun time in comedy.

  • Very cool!

  • Besser was in lots of Abbot & Costello shows so he should have had some bucks or dough as it was called then.

    The reason Besser filled in for two shorts after Shemp died was to fill the contract and then ge De Rita out of his contract with another studio. He was working before he joined the stooges, so he should have been doing OK financially.

    everyone blames someone else for thier troubles. i have all but 6 of the Curly shorts. anyone looking for anything call me.

  • All those little kids are there 50s now.

  • Yeap I am one of them and I turned 50 last year!

  • wow.... awesome,

    to ExplosivePus: i thought the stooges died in the late seventies

  • I love this film!!

    NOW: We need to see the entire film (53-seconds won't do!) at the highest resolution possible !!!

    Tell me:

    (1) Did you speak to The Stooges?

    (2) Did Unk take any still pictures?

    (3) What was The Stooges' purpose in being there?

    (4) Were you a huge fan of The Stooges?

    We're waiting!!!

    ~ Henry Radcliffe Wainwright

  • Hi Henry,

    We were invited to see them and yes we also have still pictures of them. I don't remember talking to them but I also met them at the airport. All in all good memories.

  • Very cool footage!

    -- Matt

  • The 3 Howards and Larry owned the business, and Besser and DeRita were just hired actors, filling a vacant spot. I don't know what Bessers situation was, but I know Joe DeRita died broke, living off a disability check, because I saw it on some tv show. Joe DeRita was in it, telling how he'd been mistreated by the Howard heirs. The novelty dolls or whatever it was that was selling big at the time depicted Curly Joe as the third Stooge, and he asked for a royalty. They changed it to Curly instead.

  • This looks like the intro to the wonder years

  • Thanks for sharing

  • I heard Moe lived in Gloucester, MA until his death. I don't know of that's right but I was a huge stooges fan.

  • What a nice thing to have as part of your family's history. Thanks for sharing it with us all!

  • great upload but where is curly and shemp?

  • The footage is from 1962/62 and Curly and Shemp passed away in 1952 and 1955 respectively.

  • They were dead when this was filmed

  • Wow!,I must say this is a gem,I wish we had more jewels like this around of great actors,comedians and more for viewing pleasure.......you said one of the kids in the film is family?Did you all kind of hang out with the Howard family??Sounds kool.

  • Kings of comedy, says it all.

  • the family the video focuses on... one of the kids was my dad and the other kids are his brothers and his sister

  • So I must be your uncle!

  • wow, this is really, really cool!!!! The grainy images and lack of original sound adds to it.

    Much simpler times.

  • Very cool! What an honor it must have been to meet the real Original Kings of Comedy.

  • This is a really lovely video.

    I was born in the nineties so I didnt grow up with them on tv or in person but I watched the three stooges on the VHS my parents had they enjoyed the Stooges when they were younger and I now enjoy them myself and am going to share them when I have a family so they can enjoy them too. This is proper comedy stuff that makes us laugh at the real and silliness of it. Nice vid

  • Thank you for all of your nice comments!

  • Really nice clip!

  • Wow, awesome clip!

  • Comment removed

  • Lovely...

  • They were nice, sweet guys. Stars had class then. Today's stars only have egos.

  • very lucky, nice song, and three stooges are the best comedy in black and white!

  • Nice pictures, song sounds like Cat Stevens.

  • Bravo

  • whats the song?

  • "Oh Very Young" by Cat Stevens

  • Comment removed

  • Nice video. Reminds me of exactly what it was like when I was a 10 year old at that time and watched the three stooges religiously same as my friends. The 8 mm cam film brings back nice memories of a time when liberalism was still helping to make this country a better place before the fascists took over.

  • dude THANKS for sharing this video.

    god bless you.

    this is the king of stuff people should be posting instead of idiotic rants about video game systems and other garbage.

    thats Larry Fine, Moe Howard and Joe Deritta , THE FINAL STOOGE LINE UP..

    unknown to those kids they were the LAST american children to see the Three Stooges alive in person.

    never loose this video, its GOLD.

  • Thanks for the great comment! It was my cousins, brother , sister and myself in this video.I am turning fifty years old next month and these videos my father took bring back great memories of our childhood!By the way it was filmed in Toronto and we are all Canadian! Not that it really matters what nationality we come from.

  • Larry looks very recognizable.

    Moe.....kind of.

    The third has to be Joe, Shemp and Curly died years earlier.

  • Great video..interesting...

  • Great Video!

  • not a good date

  • Thanks for sharing the video. I saw them perform in the early sixties at Paragon Park, Nantasket Beach, Mass. Your video is how I remember them last.

    Great job adding music too!

  • lucky u. i wish could have met them just once.

  • what a nice video.Shows America at its greatest before liberalism and other disgusting things took over the United States.

  • Click my name u can watch alot of stooge shorts. enjoy!

  • was this on an episode of the wonder years ?, great footage. pure americana

  • Wonderful video! Larry said they loved kids.

  • I grew up watching them. To the contrary, I am not a violent person.

    May their shorts not only live on for generations, but centuries.

  • How wonderful is this! Those geat 8mm home movies..kids riding their bikes in the street (without concern of being run over by a car or, now adays, being shot.) And the Three Stooges home movies..such innocence...and NO blackberries, laptops, cell phones, palm pilots, myspace, facebook, or a thousand channels of nothing on t-v! Thanks for posting...love it :)

  • @kaygladys Places like that still exist. They're just hard to find. As for the technology -you can always leave home without your electronic leash.

  • @kaygladys we need more of that
