Here's a video that shows the ACTUAL "Fake Shemps" -- not stunt stand-ins -- from the Three Stooges that started the cliche.

  • @dougs121 There is no reason to apologize for that. Shemp is every bit as funny as Curly was, just a different style is all. I know it is Shemp's most well known short, but all you Shemp haters cannot tell me that "Brideless Groom" is not hilarious, and the reason it works so well is Shemp's quirks!

  • @MrAli1796 In 1955 Shemp died. The 3 Stooges still owed Columbia four shorts by contract. Producer Jules White shot new footage of Moe & Larry & edited it together with bits recycled from previous shorts & stock footage (both of which included Shemp). When continuity required that Shemp appear in these new scenes, a fake stood in for him, appearing only from behind or with an object obscuring his face. They also dubbed in audio of Shemp's voice although occasionally its the fake's actual voice.

  • To me Shemp was the sexiest stooge ever.

  • @pesmith8768

    I also even thought that Joe Besser was cool, but yeah Shemp and Curly are right up there as equals. Poor Joe De Rita is right on there at the bottom but I've learned to love him too Its hard to knock a stooge.

  • One fake Shemp dislaked this video!

  • after shemp and curly died i didn like joe besser that much i though curly joe was better bt i do agree with ppl the two joe wasnt that good bt hey they didn really have a choice bk then rite around shemp died the stooges contraced was up and they wnt to movies and joe besser wasin really with them long like when joe derita was he jst in the movies im glad he wasn in the shots he better (joe derita) in the movies

  • Count me as a Shemp guy. I always considered him "The Thinking Man's Stooge".

  • @Eminemflocka There is no fake Shemp. Shemp died in Nov. 55 and the Stooges shoot there films one after the other so they could do personnel appearances and also appear at the theaters that were showing there shorts. Being under contract still they had to find a replacement to complete it.

  • @dougs121 Joe Besser and Curly Joe were great in their own style.

  • Legalize Shemp & Just say Moe!

  • Moe: Shemp. That damn looks suspicious. You better follow her.

    Shemp: Eeb-bee-bee-be-bee
