The Three Stooges worked from the mid 30's to the early 60's. They had at least 3 guys replace Curly, Shemp, his brother who of course was also Moe's brother, Joe, and Curly Joe. I maybe forgetting one there. Also, Larry was a highly trained musician and was an expert violin player. They were great.
@AmericanNohbuddy, the monty python had a different kind of sense of humour and more continuity in their story. With these lots hitting people was normality, true enough there is not much vulgarity or obscene words except for "stupid". I just don't understand why people laugh to being hit, try that and the police officer or the army will come to either arrest you or go to war with your country.
@AmericanNohbuddy, well WTC was only slapstick in 2 buildings no? There was NO vulgarity, no insult from either side except a few slapsticks. There was too much magic, too much laughing about from Texas... That is the problem maybe... Any pancit left to eat...Pancit is for long life...Have a good life
I am not trolling, I am only stating what I saw as an opinion, mine. My opinion is NOT your opinion. Different opinions imply different responses, I would not insult you, I would not practice slapstick on you either. As I said, I do not really agree or understand this sense of humour, that's all. 9/11 is an old story
@AmericanNohbuddy, why are you telling? Go tell former President Bush. Maybe he and others don't know the difference between a fake slap, movies and reality anymore. The reasons are stated in my previous comment.
This live show and their quickly edited shorts are two entirely different things. No wonder the pilot didnt fly, they used just about every one of their classic bits! Without the sound effects, this pales by comparison
Especially since Ted Healy took most of the spotlight. He also wasn't very good with money, since he spent of his paycheck at the racetrack, and couldn't save a cent.
Mrs. Pennyfeather was played by Symona Boniface, who appeared in many other Stooges shorts (she was Mrs. Bixby in "Micro-Phonies", and Mrs. Smythe-Smythe in "Half-Wits Holiday", which has one of the Stooges' better pie fight scenes). Sadly, she passed away of cancer the year after this pilot was made. She was only 56.
Right, Curly of a Stroke, Shemp of a Heart Attack, Larry of a stroke, and Moe of something else but i cant remember I think it was something like Cancer or Stroke.
Curly had several strokes and passed away in 1952.. Shemp died suddenly of a heart attack on the way home from a fight card in 1955. Larry had several health problems and died in 1974, shortly after suffering a stroke. Moe died of lung cancer in 1975. Joe Besser died of heart faliure in 1988. Joe DeRita died of pneumonia in 1993. DeRita also was the longest-lived of the Stooges, just short of 84 years.
Dam I was born this year. Luv these guys This is when you didnt need those laugh tracks (like on 2 and 1/2 men etc) and many of todays shows. These guys had to act. Love them to death
I can see that The Beatles and The Monkees got inspiration for their movies ,shows from the stooges shows. Take a look at a MOnkees episode and you can see. And HELP by The Beatles
There is one part that they don't show. It's in the beginning when Shemp is typing. Shemp: I don't think, I know Moe: I don't think you know either (Begins) Moe: Dear sir.... (Shemp types really fast) Moe: What have you got so far? Shemp: How do you spell "sir." (Moe smacks shemp) Moe: In your case "Cur" (Ends)
I heard the announcer give the title of this show as "Inferior Decorating" but it's listed here as "Jerks Of All Trades". I wish this would have been a TV sitcom in the 50's!
You are correct. The age of two-reelers was fading fast. This was produced by Phil Berle, brother of Milton Berle. This was shot in Kinescope which had not been attempted with the stooges before. Unfortunately, ABC didn't pick up this pilot to series, Berle moved to NBC. In 1950 the Stooges returned to Columbia for another season.
I've always been of the opinion Moe was the best. He was the best actor, and could deliver lines exceptionally well, and funny! But yes, he was mean. A couple of people have said Moe murmurs "fuckin" in this... I think he says "bucket"...???? x
You are crazy. Larry was the best. His unscripted comments were hilarious and his expressions in the background were timeless. Larry was the best of the group! After all, he did have a system for getting a bucket off someones head.
I agree. That's why I have a YouTube video I made called "For The Love Of Larry". Check it out and let me know what you think. I'm working on Part 2 now, so much video to go through!
@emmtampa you kidding me? there is no best... and they were all scripted to a certain extent... its not like larry was unscripted and the rest were all scripted or something... all i know is the best trios were with shemp and curly i was never a fan of joe...
I never could figure out how canyone could think that Moe was "funny". He reminded me too much of my step dad. Full of abuse, and mean. I know, it was only a "show", but I never could ever understand it.
Up until a few years ago, I thought that the music that opens their clips were little kids yelling those notes we hear from,0:5-0:17 then. I came to find they were made with a trumpet mute moving back and forth on the end of the horn!
Some sad shit here. The Stooges could have gotten a fresh TV show in the early 50's and made a fortune, but this wasn't the vehicle. The best that happened was a rerun of their movie shorts as a TV program, and they never got a dime off of them.
That's because the guy who does Stimpy (Billy West) modeled that voice after Larry. He also got his big break on the Howard Stern show doing his Larry Fine voice. He now does voices for Futurama. You can hear some larry fine in the professor's voice.
That much I know - but I'd never really seen much 3 Stooges to judge until just recently! Stimpy makes some Curly noises too (although I realise Curly's not in this one)
@btmsk8ter West does zoidberg's voice as well, he calls the technique "marble mouth".... By the way,couldnt help but notice that Moe was a little sharp on that major 3rd when answering the phone, just sayin. Great episode
IT JUST DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS! I am proud to say that I was president of the Three Stooges Appreciation Society at Kings College London. So much for higher education!
How I absolutely ADORE the Stooges. I was born in the 60's and I'd lived to come home from school every day at 3.30 to watch my hilarious buddies. However, my fav will always be Curly. This video is a great pleasure. Thank you so much for sharing it. Send more Stooges! P.S. Check out Moe Howard as a guest on the Mike Douglas show from the early 70's on Youtube.
lol lol lol lol....i remember watchin 15 mins every evening at 5 in the late 80s, wen i was 5 probably..... used to be the most hilarious 15 mins of the day...!!!!!!
I only got to see bits and pieces of this video on a 3stooges VHS tape. It was probably edited for time, but the parts I didn't see in the VHS tape are in this video, and OMG, that was hilarious!!!
The Three Stooges are perhaps one of America's most funny and versatile comedy acts of all time, considering their Vaudeville roots, their two reel shorts (later syndicated for TV, their attempt at an early Tv show (seen here), and their appearances in the movies.
i mean when Moe says "you got to use your head" you can tell that the dude pushing the drawers out hit the 3rd one instead of the top one. Its obvoise because Moe ingores the hit
Phil Berle {Milton's brother} produced this unaired pilot for ABC's consideration. But Columbia refused to allow the Stooges to appear in a weekly TV series while under contract to them, so the entire project was abandoned.
According to their biography that was aired on TV a few years ago, whenCurly Joe joined the group and they got back into show business, they were the highest paid act of their time. I did hear that Larry died pennyless. Moe and Curly Joe had done well for themselves. My guess about Larry is that he gambled his fortune away. However... prior to Curly Joe, the three Stooges were sevearly taken advantage of by just about everyone.
Sorry there alraczkowski - I was only going by their biography. They hired several managers that ripped them off - and Moe - generally did not want to continue after his brother (Curly) died in 1952. But I am sure you know more then their biographer - and personnel friend for more than 50 years. You're an idiot!!
Curly died on January 18,1952. Shemp died from a massive heartattack on November 22,1955. After Shemp's death, he was replaced by Besser but the studio wanted DeRita.
The Stooges had only one manager, Harry Romm, who ripped them off ruthelessly, and broke with him after the success of "Have Rocket, WIll Travel", due to the percentage of profits they wanted from their next film. Only Moe understood money better than the other Stooges. That so called biopic made for television is loaded with inaccuracies (suh as when they enter the Columbia pictures' entrance in 1934, you can see a 1939 Plymouth leaving the exit).
Actually the Stooges originally had another manager when they first started. His name was Ted Heely. He was the Technical Leader of the stooges when they first started.
That's spelled "Healy", and the Stooges weren't exactly happy with the way they were handling their finances, which led Moe, Larry, and Curly to break with him. There was also Moe's son in law, Norman Maurer, who directed three of the films with Curly Joe ("The Three Stooges Meet Hercules", "The Three Stooges Go Around The World In A Daze" and "The Outlaws IS Coming!" plus the aborted "Kook's Tour" pilot, which was never finished due to Larry Fine's stroke. How sad!
Unfortunatly - they all died in the 70's - and they died completely broke - all of their moeny was swiped by shitty managers and hangers on!! The last several years they all spent on welfare. This should tell you something about Hollywood!!
For your info, the stooges weren't broke when they died. Moe lived in a really nice home in CA, drove a huge Caddy & never wanted for money. Larry was sickly when he died from a stroke, but wasn't broke & Curly Joe was well off as well. The guy who had it bad was Curley whose 3rd wife took him for all he had.
Very interesting! I especially like it because it included Shemp, my favorite Stooge.
The video is quite clear for something nearly 60 years old.
Keeping in mind this was in front of a live audience,
I wonder how much of this was ad-libbed?
It's nice to see they had some long-time Stooge-shorts actors in it, too, such as Emil Sitka. I recognize the woman from the shorts, too, but I can't remember her name.

IT JUST DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS! I am proud to say that I was president of the Three Stooges Appreciation Society at Kings College London. So much for higher education!

How I absolutely ADORE the Stooges. I was born in the 60's and I'd lived to come home from school every day at 3.30 to watch my hilarious buddies. However, my fav will always be Curly. This video is a great pleasure. Thank you so much for sharing it. Send more Stooges! P.S. Check out Moe Howard as a guest on the Mike Douglas show from the early 70's on Youtube.

pilot episode? for a new network? 3 stooges have been doing work since the late 20's
MachineGuNate 4 years ago
Right, but this was a TV pilot. Network Television was brand new when this was filmed.
Their work from the 20s until the time of this work was all for short films shown in movie theaters.

What difference would that make?!
You'd be surprised!! LOL!

The Three Stooges are perhaps one of America's most funny and versatile comedy acts of all time, considering their Vaudeville roots, their two reel shorts (later syndicated for TV, their attempt at an early Tv show (seen here), and their appearances in the movies.

If Moe,Larry Curly and Joe De Rita
had any flaw..it's this? They were to trusting of
the wrong people and alot of
them cheated them out of monies
and creative freedom.

"Oh s*** well ...its this one...yeah hehe..."
..and you can tell by Larry's reaction.

Phil Berle {Milton's brother} produced this unaired pilot for ABC's consideration. But Columbia refused to allow the Stooges to appear in a weekly TV series while under contract to them, so the entire project was abandoned.

According to their biography that was aired on TV a few years ago, whenCurly Joe joined the group and they got back into show business, they were the highest paid act of their time. I did hear that Larry died pennyless. Moe and Curly Joe had done well for themselves. My guess about Larry is that he gambled his fortune away. However... prior to Curly Joe, the three Stooges were sevearly taken advantage of by just about everyone.
swoganrich 4 years ago
Sorry there alraczkowski - I was only going by their biography. They hired several managers that ripped them off - and Moe - generally did not want to continue after his brother (Curly) died in 1952. But I am sure you know more then their biographer - and personnel friend for more than 50 years. You're an idiot!!

Curly died on January 18,1952. Shemp died from a massive heartattack on November 22,1955. After Shemp's death, he was replaced by Besser but the studio wanted DeRita.

Besser was already under contract to Columbia, where he had his own series of shorts with Jim Hawthorne.

The Stooges had only one manager, Harry Romm, who ripped them off ruthelessly, and broke with him after the success of "Have Rocket, WIll Travel", due to the percentage of profits they wanted from their next film. Only Moe understood money better than the other Stooges. That so called biopic made for television is loaded with inaccuracies (suh as when they enter the Columbia pictures' entrance in 1934, you can see a 1939 Plymouth leaving the exit).
vividwatch47 2 years ago
Actually the Stooges originally had another manager when they first started. His name was Ted Heely. He was the Technical Leader of the stooges when they first started.
ChaosZero102 2 years ago
That's spelled "Healy", and the Stooges weren't exactly happy with the way they were handling their finances, which led Moe, Larry, and Curly to break with him. There was also Moe's son in law, Norman Maurer, who directed three of the films with Curly Joe ("The Three Stooges Meet Hercules", "The Three Stooges Go Around The World In A Daze" and "The Outlaws IS Coming!" plus the aborted "Kook's Tour" pilot, which was never finished due to Larry Fine's stroke. How sad!
vividwatch47 2 years ago
Unfortunatly - they all died in the 70's - and they died completely broke - all of their moeny was swiped by shitty managers and hangers on!! The last several years they all spent on welfare. This should tell you something about Hollywood!!
Earthlinked 4 years ago
For your info, the stooges weren't broke when they died. Moe lived in a really nice home in CA, drove a huge Caddy & never wanted for money. Larry was sickly when he died from a stroke, but wasn't broke & Curly Joe was well off as well. The guy who had it bad was Curley whose 3rd wife took him for all he had.

Very interesting! I especially like it because it included Shemp, my favorite Stooge.
The video is quite clear for something nearly 60 years old.
Keeping in mind this was in front of a live audience,
I wonder how much of this was ad-libbed?
It's nice to see they had some long-time Stooge-shorts actors in it, too, such as Emil Sitka. I recognize the woman from the shorts, too, but I can't remember her name.
Thanks btmsk8ter!
