Joe is the most underrated stooge in my opinion. I know, he wasn't as good as Moe, Larry, Curly or Shemp but at least Joe tried. Curly Joe was just boring and didn't add any thing new to the long lasting trio, Joe at least brought something fresh to it. Most of the 3rd stooges are the wackiest, craziest and retardedest stooge of the trio and I think Curly, Shemp and Joe did a good job at that.
@Stoogefan14 I hated Joe Besser not because he wasn't funny, but because he was selfish, ignorant, and only cared about himself. He refused to get hit in the face with pies when he knew he was joining the kings of pie fights. I'm sure Moe and Larry had a lot of people dying to be Shemp's replacement and were willing to do whatever it took to perform with them. Why did they pick this pussy?!
@Gwitfu90 Well, producer/director Jules white wanted Besser in the stooges because he needed someone who resembled Curly and that's why he was brought in to the act. But despite the fact that Besser was five foot five, fat and bald like Curly, I don't think they look anything alike.

joes is a decent third stooges. he's not no imitator of curly or shemp it's just those stupid remakes of older stooges shorts that made him appear that he sucked. but in some original material joe is actually very funny. he does his own comedic style. so I don't know why stooges fans bashed joe like this. at least besser makes me laugh than derita. DERITA SUCKS!
I'm sure he was a nice human being, but unfortunately as a last resort he was dragged into the Stooge's act. He was not funny, and often said he thought the material was beneath him and he didnt think what he was doing was funny either. He just made the Stooges so unbearable to watch. I said before that he should've blown his brains out. What I meant was he should have blown his brains out , but not before blowing the brains out of anyone who thought he was enjoyable.
@jedibri81, Your post is as pointless as a cat's fart, and not quite so entertaining. I am sure your sense of humor is more suited to a tomb, than understanding what is funny and what is not.
Remember, Bessser was a reluctant fill-in as the third stooge when they needed a third. He didn't want to be physical. I met him in a laundromat in North Hollywood. He was a beautiful, wonderful guy.
This guy just didn't have it, not funny, watching re-runs, Shemp's hilarious "put em up" fight style with reluctant legs and wide-open face and remarks that set him up for Moe's abuse put him right in league with any stooge: Moe, Larry or Curly.
Joe was under rated that's for sure. Everyone loved Curly so much that they hated all his replacements without giving them a chance. Even Curly's own brother Shemp. Ignorant.
I know he wasn't squat to them.......but at least he helped let Moe and Larry keep making a living, since they were not rich by any means, and needed to keep working..........when they needed him. And he was "sorta" funny sometimes !!! It was always the "3" Stooges...even after it shoulda been done. But if you know their history, they needed Joe Besser and Joe DeRita to help them still make a living .......
Great review! I grew up watching the stooges re-runs late at night in the 80s Only to find out in the mid 90's that one of Joe's family members lived just a few houses up the street from me! On Parkwood Lane in Maryland Hgts!! And my father actually knew her! What a strange small world it can be!
Joe Besser as "Stinky" with Abbott & Costello was hilarous!! ("Oh, I'll HARM you!!") What a unique comedic character actor he was; and this video is a found treasure for those who only know him from "The Three Stooges". Thank you KETC9!!
