Yeah I know it's idiotvision but I can't help but love the stooges
Everyone will say, “yeah I’m more of a Marx Brothers fan” Pretty much cause they don’t want to come off like a 3 year old admitting they enjoy the Three Stooges. Well nuts to that. I mean sure I love Marx Brothers too. But it’s a different entity. It’s witty and fun and Chico and Harpo are the best. However, if I had to pick between the two, I’d say the Stooges every time. Mainly because I just can’t get enough of their wacky antics and they fill me with such comedy joy that no other comedians can quite reach. Their apathy, their moranity, their sheer bad luck. It’s the best. The timing these guys have is phenomenal. And anytime someone is whacked on the head or bumped or slips and falls. It’s hilarious every fuckin’ time. Without a doubt. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched these over and over again and still wanted more.
I picked an episode that just came out on dvd that I watched and it’s got some of my favorite bits. Some of Moe’s best tantrums and thunderstrikes. As well as some great Larry bits. The fact that they start off selling fish that they caught themselves thinking they’ll make a profit is one of the best stooge openings ever. Stay with me on this blog, I’ll post another stooge fave tomorrow.
