The Three Stooges

Well,my first post received quite a bit of stick I must admit. Accepting brickbats for that,I still continue with my writings.Have any of you people watched 3 funny men doing slapstick like plucking each other's eyes?If you havent,you really have missed out on one of the best groups who did slapstick comedy."The Three Stooges" were a runaway success during their heydays in Hollywood.Columbia Pictures produced short films of 15 minutes duration which entertained young and old alike.
My first rendezveous with these funny men was on TV on Sony channel.They were really hilarious since each added a different flavour to the act. More so were their antics ,the most famous of which was plucking each other's eyes!!Moe Howard,Larry Fine and Curly teamed up for this wonderful act.Moe had his trademark goofy hairdo.Larry had bits and pieces of hair stuck to his bald plate.Curly enjoyed acts like biting teetn,sporting a flashy smile and rolling all over the ground.If you were a regular viewer of these acts, you would be impressed by the spontaneity of Curly.Actually, whenever he forgot his script,he would improvise by coming up with such unique actions.
All said and done,they added a touch of sarcasm at times to the plot.The movie"a Nasty Spy" had Moe in a get up which bore semblance to Hitler.The stooges could get the message across in a subtle but effective way.
For some their acts would be "rubbish" ,but on a personal level,they were extremely adorable.
Their popularity reached new heights when they were immortalised in form of toons.Curly had to leave the act and was replace by Shemp Howard.Still the popularity was unmatched for any other show which had comedy as a genre.
Thanks for tickling our funny bone ...Hail the Stooges!!!
