Yep, I think you're right thegoosebrain. Moe careens(sp) into the other room and Shimp and Larry do a spontanious bit of improv. Clearly they were supposed to slam into the door together which would have got Moe yelling about letting him go thru first. Their budget was small, they put out these "shorts" at a furious pace with little to no rehearsals. The scene was funny so why waste a good take? The Stooges in drag, funny, funny stuff! Good eye, Goosebrain!
Moe Howard will be remembered for his occasional dual roles in the Stooges films. Like Shemp's Uncle Mortimer in HEAVENLY DAZE and BEDLAM IN PARADISE,and the Stooges' alive and well sister Birdie in HOOFS AND GOOFS. In H&G,Joe Besser(his first as a Stooge) dreams that Birdie was dead and reincarnated as a horse. The Stooges obviously thought Birdie was really dead.
@arhuxtable Moe was also used extensively for voices. When there was a voice on the radio, he did the voices many, many times. He also did the voices of the dying radio tubes that were still alive and moving after the radios were smashed in a couple shorts. There are several more, but I can't recall them at his time. The reason why More did the voices was probably becasue Columbia was so cheap they didn't want to pay another actor to do it, so they had Moe do the voices.
@thegoosebrain Thx for UL!!! I notice also Moe's voice taking on other parts in the same short. Without knowing anything more than what I see and hear in the shorts, it's pretty certain Moe had a highly trained voice. All actors have "trained" voices but Moe could do radio and narration it seems.
This scene was part of the final print of SELF-MADE MAIDS which was interesting because all supporting roles were played by The Three Stooges instead of other actors.
@arhuxtable True except that there was a random extra (not one of the stooges) sitting in a chair reading a newspaper right before the stooges first meet the "girls'" father.
I've never seen this particular scene, so at the end when Larry sticks out his "Tits" and says in a high pitched voice "WHAT did you do THAT for?" I swear I nearly fell out of my chair...belly laugh of the WEEK.
@arhuxtable Ah! But he was at age 15. He was a damn goodlooking kid. Such a shame he didn't think so. Off topic but here's an observation: "Only in America can a poor black boy grow up to be a rich white woman."
@Gater180 Did someone already answer this for you? Oh well. A "blooper" is an a scene that is generally cut or edited out of a film because of some sort of error either with props, animals or actors. They're also called "outtakes" but are usually the funniest bits of comedy. Here's one for you. The first Hollywood movie to include the "bloopers" during the end credits was "Smokey and the Bandit" with Burt Reynolds and Sally Field". That's what started it all and I love it.
Here in the Philadelphia area, a new station called Antenna TV (17.2) is showing The Three Stooges on Sundays 7 to 10am and on Fridays 8 to 11pm. Check their schedule.
I remember an interview with Moe in his 80's - he said the one time he really hurt himself was the scene when the 3 Stooges were plumbers and he is pulled through the wall and hits his head.
Moe Howard was 77 almost 78 when he died in 1975. Only Joe Besser and Curly Joe DeRita died in their eighties(JB in '88 and CJD in '93). DeRita was the longest-living Stooge.
its true, if you read the biography of the stooges, it states that moe did in fact twist his ankle in this scene and it later gave him health problems throughout his life. the twisted ankle contributed to his death and caused him to drink heavily. he also blames the ankle for his constant seeking and use of LSD...
@187SicknesS that's not in Moe's autobiography. Moe lived to be 79 or 80, btw. You may have this confused with Curley, who had a shooting accident hurt his foot, which exacerbated his drinking in later years and lead to a stroke at a fairly young age (~50). LSD! LOL
@187SicknesS that's not in Moe's autobiography. Moe lived to be 79 or 80, btw. You may have this confused with Curley, who had a shooting accident at a young age which hurt his foot. That recurring pain exacerbated his drinking in later years and lead to a stroke at a fairly young age (~50). LSD! LOL
I had to watch this twice to really see what happened, and when I saw Moe take a dive onto the floor by the bed (by accident) I burst out in loud laughter. I probably shouldn't laugh at someone getting injured for real, but - it IS funny.
Not to mention the table with the vase of flowers getting knocked over when Shemp slams into the door - and not to mention the hilarious appearance and sound of the Three Stooges in drag!
@Huckabuck1000 -- you're wrong. I've seen this short quite a few times over the decades, so I'm positive it's The Three Stooges. I've also seen lots of Ritz Brothers films, including ones where they're in drag. Trust me on this--not one of these "guys" is acting like Harry Ritz!
Yep, Moe did twist his ankle in that scene. You can see him clearly hop on his left leg after his right ankle gives way. Thats why he fell into the next room.
OUCH!!! THAT WAS PAINFUL!!! In order to see the right ankle sprain, you have to ignore the other two because it happens right on the bumping faces. At: 0:09.
Another show They were going to jump up in the air and land on a board to throw 3 buckets in the air. Moe turned his ankle bad on that one too.They cut the last second out before he turns his ankle over.
Man if they had saved all the out takes & Bloopers, they would be worth $Millions$ today!
They sure would! I hope one day there will be a story on the news that goes soemthing like this:
Relatives of a guy that recently died find a treasure trove of three stooges out takes in attic. It seems the man once worked at the film studio as a janitor where the stooges made their movies. the man collected all the out takes that were tossed in the garbage outside the editing rooms and placed them on reels. The reels comprise about 20 hours of stooge outtakes spanning 25 years.
@HerbWalker yes they would be worth millions, i know some one who would like to buy them if they ever came out on dvd, and hes only 20 year old, people of all ages would buy them
At the first birthday party I can ever remember going to (at a malt shop, in the very early 1960s), they played rented 8 mm Stooges shorts on a projector. There's nothing like taking a bunch of five-year-olds, already hyped up on cake and ice cream and then letting them watch grown men hit each other with hammers, pipes, tearing hair out, dropping anvils on toes, impaling eye sockets, etc. Gruesome violence that remains exceptionally funny! Today, a lot of parents won't let their kids watch em.
@philipatoz The only thing better than that, is getting to watch the 8mm film backward once it was finished, like they used to do at our day care. :-) Good times...
I'm 42 years old and most of these silent comedians were all dead by the time I was born. But I love them and find them far much funnier than any comedian of today if there are any comedians.
Most of these shows were on tv before I was born. But I remeber watching them in reruns as a kid in the 70s and 80s and have loved all the more as an adult. And like I said in the previous post they're better than anything you'd see on tv today.
there was one in a short whose name i cant think of right now....where moe is standing on a table, and curly/larry accidentally saw the table in half with a power saw, and moe turns around and falls....in real life, he broke like 3 ribs doing that
Remember when THE THREE STOOGES used to be on every weekday morning and afternoon on Superstaion WTBS? Back during it's better years, before it became the crappy station it is today? TBS'S motto is VERY FUNNY; I see nothing funny about it.
Now take a look what AMC has become? It's even worse than TBS with some of the worst movies ever. ANd also all of the recent movies from the 2000s takes precedence over the older movies.
@67nairb Yes, AMC went downhill ever since they went commercial. I worked for Comcast cable and we listened to a rep from AMC. She said that "AMC" doesn't even mean "American Movie Classics" anymore. It's just "AMC." Sad. It used to be a very good channel.
Why doesn't this AMC representive you listened do something about the network she works for and help change it for the better? Surely she must have some influence with executives.
Actually they are better on IFC and on a local showing we get in the Chicagoland area Stoogeapalooza Saturday nights on WWME Me TV (short for Memorable Entertainment TV)
@thegoosebrain They show the Stooges on AMC, and now also occasionally on IFC (Independent Film Channel). On New Year's Day 2011, they showed a Stooges marathon there.
@67nairb nairb I remember those days when TBS rocked! They had an hour block that rotated with Cartoons, The Stooges & The Little Rascals. And you are so right TBS is a totally crappy station these days.
@puck30 The worst show on TBS in my opinion are the reruns of SAVED BY THE BELL and they constantly repeat the same episodes. The worst and most annoying character on that show is the nerd Screech played by Dustin Diamond. The question remains is why did TBS get the way it did today and why?
@67nairb No idea! haven't watched TBS in years......back when I was in Junior High, the Stooges were on before school......I had a list of Stooge Episodes I had, and when one came on---as I left for school--my mom would tape the ones I did not have. Good times!
As the stooges would claim to somebody that couldn't see straight: "You have short eyeballs." Clearly Moe twists his ankle at about 10 seconds into the clip.
@thegoosebrain You answered correctly, spinach chin! Definitely hurt himself. We all know they were paid for this, but they paid a high price for our entertainment. God Bless the Three Stooges!
In "Pardon My Scotch", the opening has the Stooges trying to put a door up. At one point, Larry and Curly cut the table Moe's standing on in two and, of course, it collapses under him. He gets up and slaps the other guys, but in the fall, he breaks a couple ribs. He still makes the slaps before the scene cuts away. Moe Howard was hardcore, y'all.
I remember Pardon My Scotch! I also remember the shot was done in one take...and even as a kid, I thought seeing that fall looked pretty fucking painful! The look on Moe's face after he stands up says it all. I've had that look before. And how many times did they have to shoot that?
Is it just me or does anyone else think the Stooges look HOT dressed as women? Hubba hubba....va va va voooom! Curly looked cute when he dressed in drag too!
That ankle twist looked really painful. I'll bet it was a blooper.
That aside, The Stooges are FINALLY on DVD! God, what took them so long? I have tons of old VHS tapes of them that are getting worn out.
Also, I saw a web blog by a college kid (early 60's I think) who met Moe and wrote him when he was traveling to CA. Moe invited him to stop by. They talked for hours and he said Moe couldn't have been a nicer guy.
I'd hate to break it to ya, but lots of the stuff in the Stooges stuff isn't planned; most of the dialogue and basic slapstick stuff is thought up on the spot, with only the general story actually written
Although Moe abused Larry Curly shemp and Joe, it was Moe that got hurt the most while doing these shorts. Also Moe was known to do his own stunts in many episodes
@hugatag Moe didn't abuse Joe very much. Infact, Joe was the only Stooge the least afraid of Moe. Are you referring to Joe Besser or Curly-Joe De Rita?
@67nairb Wow a reply after 2 years! I am referring to Moe,although he was the tough guy he was the one that got hurt the most on the set (in real life he got hurt in many scenes) Many of the funniest Stooge episodes were based on Moe getting the worst of it from the other 2 stooges hence Moe always loosing his temper and beating them up in hilarious ways. The liquid rubber episode was the best example of what I say here.
@hugatag But Joe Besser was the least abused of the Stooges... on camera that is. Of course by the time Joe joined the 3 Stooges in the late 1950s, Moe and Larry toned their vilolent slapstick comedy quite a bit.
@hugatag When Joe Besser signed his contract with the Stooges in 1956 a clause stated that he didn't wanted to be hit with anything or or anybody. But there were a few scenes from some episodes in which Moe did hit Joe. Infact, in their last episode with Joe, SAPPY BULLFIGHTERS, there was one scene in which Moe picked Joe in the eyes...not literally of course.
@67nairb Yup that is the truth I read that in Moe's book.Unlike Curly who was Curly wannabe (and a pretty poor one) Joe Joe Besser was very original,he came with is own act and in my opinion was very funny at times. Besser would have gone on to the movies with Moe and Larry but he was under contract with Columbia Pictures. Moe stated in his book that when Columbia cancelled the Stooges he went to clean out his locker and he was thrown out of the facilities. Pretty sad huh?
One incident that really stood out was in Heavenly Daze (1948) when Larry had the fountain pen fly into his head and it ACTUALLY went into his head and he pulled it out and he bled. Now I know that's got to hurt!
This is the only short in which the Stooges played two parts, plus one in which Moe played the girls (?) father (in which he had a mustache not unlike the Howard brothers' father).
Moe played the German doctor Hugo Gansbacher (and Tiny's father in a flashback scene) in "Sweet And Hot", the only film in which Moe doesn't play himself, and the third one with in which they play separate characters (the other was "Triple Crossed", the remake of "He Cooked His Goose"). "
The Stooges filmed no more shorts after 1957 because there was almost no market for the live-action short subject. Columbia was the last studio to have such a department. Unfortunately,no special treatment for the team in spite of their increasing popularity as the shorts debuted on television the following year. SWEET AND HOT was filmed in '56 or '57,as Joe Besser was then a Stooge and had to quit the team in favor of his ill wife,
Wow,, i think you're right. You can see moe trip on his right ankle because he's wearing high heels. I guess they just left it in because it looks so rediculous. Got to LOVE the Stooges!!!
I don't know why Hollywood feels the urge to make these ridiculous remakes. They never match the greatness of the originals.
Penn, Carrey, and Depp are great actors but they ain't the Stooges, so why even mess with it?
However, I would like to see a Black version of the Stooges. Cedric The Entertainer could be Curly.
Also a Black version of The Andy Griffith Show. I want Bill Cosby as Floyd The Barber, because they mumble in similar fashions. Tommy Davidson could be Barney.
There is a scene from Three Arabian Nuts where Moe places a bottle of smelling salts under Vernon Dents nose not realizing that the cork was still in the bottle. Vernon, not knowing that, takes a deep sniff and makes a funny face. Moe pulls the bottle away realizing the cork is still in the bottle and removes the cork. He places it back under Vernon's nose and they do the scene over again as thou nothing was wrong. I think I'll post it here.
Sorry about the triple post..but i just looked it up on a three stooges site. It's not a blooper, its in the short. I knew i saw it somewhere, and yes it was an injury. It also says that in the process of jumping out of camera view, he triped and hit his head on the leg of the bed and got K.O.'d. Poor guy two injurys in one.
I think this is still in the episode. in Playing the Ponies i think, Moe gets his with a swinging door, when he comes back up u see hime crying. He also broke a few ribs in on short, they kept that in. Ive seen this before im sure. Who knows.
He Broke ribs in "Pardon My Scotch" when Curly cut through the table that Moe was standing on, and the table fell, Moe fell on his side landing on his ribs. He shook it off, stood up and delivered his line, despite being out of breath! If that had happened to one of Hollywoods overpaid, spoiled brats of today, they would have stared crying, and sued every person they could think of!
@Rogersjetboat454 You are correct sir!!! Thats a bit of Stooge trivia that not many are aware of. He did indeed fracture his ribs in that scene. Upon looking at that short again one can see how that would REALLY hurt....
@Rogersjetboat454 I realized that he was hurt on that fall. You could tell by impact and the way he got up and took a couple of steps before the quick cut to a recovered Moe. But where did you get the info about his ribs? A book?
@str8carter I believe that info was in Moe's biography ; Moe Howard And The Three Stooges. I also saw it on TV. We have a local TV station that at one time ran Stooges shorts with Leslie Nielson as the host, and during breaks between shorts and commercial breaks they would feed you little factoids about the stooges.
@str8carter there is a interview with Larry Fine video here on Youtube. It's in 3 parts. Not sure which part it is but he mentions Moe breaking his rib in this particular skit.
Depending on where you read it, it may also be Depp as Moe. I heard they would rather have Depp because of his star power, even thou Del Toro has won an Oscar. Benicio is a Latino, so how can he play a stooge?? Depp likes playing odd characters in movies such as Ed Wood in Ed Wood and Hunter Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. . I think Johnny would make a great Moe. As for Carey playing Curly...isn't Carey rather tall for that part? The stooges were all around 5' 4" tall.
Moe disappears! They stopped the camera and continued when he recovered off stage.. You can tell because moe suddenly is cut away (disappears, not falling off screen) and the PURSE is not on the bed like it was before!
Nah, the purse is still there, but falls off the bed. The reason it looks like a cut is because the picture is about to cross-fade into another scene.
OUCH!!! that had to hurt moe, but he finished the scene... what a trooper...that's what he learned in vaudeville,no matter what happens, finish the scene, and go for the laugh, and that was the essence of the stooges.... god bless 'em
"A Gorgeous Head of Skin"? Does that mean bald or is Moe's woman character talking Moe himself? Oh and that must of hurt when Moe hit the bed. Terrible thing that happened to him.
Yep, I think you're right thegoosebrain. Moe careens(sp) into the other room and Shimp and Larry do a spontanious bit of improv. Clearly they were supposed to slam into the door together which would have got Moe yelling about letting him go thru first. Their budget was small, they put out these "shorts" at a furious pace with little to no rehearsals. The scene was funny so why waste a good take? The Stooges in drag, funny, funny stuff!

@67nairb nairb I remember those days when TBS rocked! They had an hour block that rotated with Cartoons, The Stooges & The Little Rascals. And you are so right TBS is a totally crappy station these days.
puck30 1 year ago
@puck30 The worst show on TBS in my opinion are the reruns of SAVED BY THE BELL and they constantly repeat the same episodes. The worst and most annoying character on that show is the nerd Screech played by Dustin Diamond. The question remains is why did TBS get the way it did today and why?

In "Pardon My Scotch", the opening has the Stooges trying to put a door up. At one point, Larry and Curly cut the table Moe's standing on in two and, of course, it collapses under him. He gets up and slaps the other guys, but in the fall, he breaks a couple ribs. He still makes the slaps before the scene cuts away. Moe Howard was hardcore, y'all.
Matt42209 2 years ago 2
I remember Pardon My Scotch! I also remember the shot was done in one take...and even as a kid, I thought seeing that fall looked pretty fucking painful! The look on Moe's face after he stands up says it all. I've had that look before. And how many times did they have to shoot that?

That ankle twist looked really painful. I'll bet it was a blooper.
That aside, The Stooges are FINALLY on DVD! God, what took them so long? I have tons of old VHS tapes of them that are getting worn out.
Also, I saw a web blog by a college kid (early 60's I think) who met Moe and wrote him when he was traveling to CA. Moe invited him to stop by. They talked for hours and he said Moe couldn't have been a nicer guy.

Although Moe abused Larry Curly shemp and Joe, it was Moe that got hurt the most while doing these shorts. Also Moe was known to do his own stunts in many episodes
hugatag 2 years ago
@hugatag Moe didn't abuse Joe very much. Infact, Joe was the only Stooge the least afraid of Moe. Are you referring to Joe Besser or Curly-Joe De Rita?
67nairb 3 weeks ago
@67nairb Wow a reply after 2 years! I am referring to Moe,although he was the tough guy he was the one that got hurt the most on the set (in real life he got hurt in many scenes) Many of the funniest Stooge episodes were based on Moe getting the worst of it from the other 2 stooges hence Moe always loosing his temper and beating them up in hilarious ways. The liquid rubber episode was the best example of what I say here.
Regards :)
hugatag 3 weeks ago
@hugatag But Joe Besser was the least abused of the Stooges... on camera that is. Of course by the time Joe joined the 3 Stooges in the late 1950s, Moe and Larry toned their vilolent slapstick comedy quite a bit.
67nairb 3 weeks ago
@hugatag When Joe Besser signed his contract with the Stooges in 1956 a clause stated that he didn't wanted to be hit with anything or or anybody. But there were a few scenes from some episodes in which Moe did hit Joe. Infact, in their last episode with Joe, SAPPY BULLFIGHTERS, there was one scene in which Moe picked Joe in the eyes...not literally of course.
67nairb 3 weeks ago
@67nairb Yup that is the truth I read that in Moe's book.Unlike Curly who was Curly wannabe (and a pretty poor one) Joe Joe Besser was very original,he came with is own act and in my opinion was very funny at times. Besser would have gone on to the movies with Moe and Larry but he was under contract with Columbia Pictures. Moe stated in his book that when Columbia cancelled the Stooges he went to clean out his locker and he was thrown out of the facilities. Pretty sad huh?

Curly had often limped in many 3 Stooges episodes because of he accidentally shot himself in the foot during a hunting accident when he was younger.

This is the only short in which the Stooges played two parts, plus one in which Moe played the girls (?) father (in which he had a mustache not unlike the Howard brothers' father).
vividwatch47 2 years ago
Yes, in this short they all played other characters, but there were other shorts in which one played other characters. Most of the time it was Moe.
thegoosebrain 2 years ago
Moe played the German doctor Hugo Gansbacher (and Tiny's father in a flashback scene) in "Sweet And Hot", the only film in which Moe doesn't play himself, and the third one with in which they play separate characters (the other was "Triple Crossed", the remake of "He Cooked His Goose"). "
vividwatch47 2 years ago
What year was SWEET AND HOT filmed.
67nairb 1 year ago
1958, I believe.
vividwatch47 1 year ago
The Stooges filmed no more shorts after 1957 because there was almost no market for the live-action short subject. Columbia was the last studio to have such a department. Unfortunately,no special treatment for the team in spite of their increasing popularity as the shorts debuted on television the following year. SWEET AND HOT was filmed in '56 or '57,as Joe Besser was then a Stooge and had to quit the team in favor of his ill wife,

I don't know why Hollywood feels the urge to make these ridiculous remakes. They never match the greatness of the originals.
Penn, Carrey, and Depp are great actors but they ain't the Stooges, so why even mess with it?
However, I would like to see a Black version of the Stooges. Cedric The Entertainer could be Curly.
Also a Black version of The Andy Griffith Show. I want Bill Cosby as Floyd The Barber, because they mumble in similar fashions. Tommy Davidson could be Barney.

There is a scene from Three Arabian Nuts where Moe places a bottle of smelling salts under Vernon Dents nose not realizing that the cork was still in the bottle. Vernon, not knowing that, takes a deep sniff and makes a funny face. Moe pulls the bottle away realizing the cork is still in the bottle and removes the cork. He places it back under Vernon's nose and they do the scene over again as thou nothing was wrong. I think I'll post it here.
thegoosebrain 2 years ago
Sorry about the triple post..but i just looked it up on a three stooges site. It's not a blooper, its in the short. I knew i saw it somewhere, and yes it was an injury. It also says that in the process of jumping out of camera view, he triped and hit his head on the leg of the bed and got K.O.'d. Poor guy two injurys in one.

I think this is still in the episode. in Playing the Ponies i think, Moe gets his with a swinging door, when he comes back up u see hime crying. He also broke a few ribs in on short, they kept that in. Ive seen this before im sure. Who knows.
MissHarpoMarx 2 years ago
He Broke ribs in "Pardon My Scotch" when Curly cut through the table that Moe was standing on, and the table fell, Moe fell on his side landing on his ribs. He shook it off, stood up and delivered his line, despite being out of breath! If that had happened to one of Hollywoods overpaid, spoiled brats of today, they would have stared crying, and sued every person they could think of!
Rogersjetboat454 2 years ago 25
@Rogersjetboat454 You are correct sir!!! Thats a bit of Stooge trivia that not many are aware of. He did indeed fracture his ribs in that scene. Upon looking at that short again one can see how that would REALLY hurt....
texlavera 1 year ago
@Rogersjetboat454 I realized that he was hurt on that fall. You could tell by impact and the way he got up and took a couple of steps before the quick cut to a recovered Moe. But where did you get the info about his ribs? A book?
str8carter 1 year ago
@str8carter I believe that info was in Moe's biography ; Moe Howard And The Three Stooges. I also saw it on TV. We have a local TV station that at one time ran Stooges shorts with Leslie Nielson as the host, and during breaks between shorts and commercial breaks they would feed you little factoids about the stooges.

@str8carter there is a interview with Larry Fine video here on Youtube. It's in 3 parts. Not sure which part it is but he mentions Moe breaking his rib in this particular skit.

Aztecius 2 years ago
Depending on where you read it, it may also be Depp as Moe. I heard they would rather have Depp because of his star power, even thou Del Toro has won an Oscar. Benicio is a Latino, so how can he play a stooge?? Depp likes playing odd characters in movies such as Ed Wood in Ed Wood and Hunter Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. . I think Johnny would make a great Moe. As for Carey playing Curly...isn't Carey rather tall for that part? The stooges were all around 5' 4" tall.

Benecio Del Toro has Moe-like bags under his eyes and that's about it.

Nah, the purse is still there, but falls off the bed. The reason it looks like a cut is because the picture is about to cross-fade into another scene.
