On this episode of Rental Reviews we'll take you back to the past, before rental stores, to the early 20th century... for a Three Stooges Retrospective! If you don't already know, The Three Stooges were a comedy team (american vaudeville) that created tons of shorts from 1922 until 1970. In their almost 200 film run, there were a ton of classic physical farce and slapstick moments that are still funny to this day. James, Tony, and Kieran will talk about Moe, Larry, and Curly... plus the other more forgotten members of this titanic comedy tour de force.

Wonder if my reply can get a like 🤔
Promoting games that I don’t want to play
James,
You said you thought Marvel movies at 2 and a half hours were to long for your taste.
It's a mad mad mad mad world, your favourite movie is 2 and a half hours.
Me:😕
That game is as pay-to-win as it gets. No thanks.
Hey James, are you a Mel Brooks fan?

“No! But I know all the woids.”

Moe:"Sure thing lady".

The funny thing is, Moe was the exact opposite in real life as he was on camera. In real life he was a dedicated family man, and very protective of his brothers and friends. He managed Larry's finances for him, and he's the only reason Larry didn't go bankrupt later in life.
I've only seen a couple of shorts.. But In one Simpsons episode (Praiseland) Skinner says "I saw Heaven! But it wasn't clouds and angels playing harps, like at the end of so many Three Stooges shorts". Can somebody give any examples?
@@strummerrr In some of the shorts they blow up at the end and actually die and it cuts to them in heaven or something like that.
"Wait a minute. You wouldn't hit a lady with that. Use this, it's bigger."
The Stooges were always comedy for the working poor. Many of their shorts take place during the depression , they reflect the struggle of finding work in that day.
Jeremy Backman sounds like we need some new Stooges
most people is poor so it still funny and relatable
@@taelee3791 only it they do it right.
@@taelee3791 Trailer Park Boys
The original stooges DID celebrity parodies, so the Jersey Shore part was suprisingly fitting.
vbictor90 I would actually have watched Jersey Shore if Moe had been on it.
E. Bernhard Warg me too.
it might be weird but i am from China and i watched the Chinese dubbded version of this show back in early 2000s, and my childhood friends who watched this all loved it. i remember we talked about it at school.
Are you really from China? Love to buy things from China, freaking love you guys
Xá Franco Ayy shoutout to slave labor tho
@@livesdoxa his name is Bo Hu. Dudes from China.
When Ted Healy passed away, Moe actually broke down in a phone booth. It hit him very, very hard.
I always wondered the name of the group, who were they stooges _for_, but Ted Healy is the explanation.
Shemp actually moved to L.A. upon hearing about Healy's Death.
James never fails to knock it out of the PARK with these choices. I love the 3 Stooges, even Shemp!
Kevin R. Love them to
James Rolfe WILL ALWAYS hit a Home Run any day of the week.
@@AndrewAnstrom They were trying to recreate and generate that Three Stoooges *feel* ;P
@@AndrewAnstrom i'm not sure they have his experience though man. give them time and they'll learn some things.
Shemp was my favorite Stooge
In Pardon my Scotch, when Moe falls he actually broke several ribs, he got up said his line then fainted
He chased them around for a bit, got smashed by a prop case again then passed out
False
Actually more impressive: he got up, said his line (with the proper amount of righteous vitriol), slapped Larry and Curley, and as soon as the the scene cut, he passed out and was taken to the hospital. The guy was a pro.
😮
As a kid you like Curly, he's the most animated and innocent. As you get older you like Moe, he's an asshole and takes the lead in the humor. When you finally achieve wisdom you like Larry, his humor is the most subdued and requires the most experience to appreciate.
You also appreciate Shemp’s rebellious tendencies towards Moe, he really gave it his own style
@@BiggusJakeus
Shemp is hilarious.😅
As a kid, I always loved moe the most
I know James is a big Twilight Zone fan. I'd love to see a retrospective for the original show where you talk about your favorite episodes.
My father introduced me to "The Boys" when I was a child , I introduced my daughter when she was about 7. . . . . fast forward 20 years and I am now a grandfather. . . . and my daughter asks me : " So dad, when are you introducing my son to "The Boys"? SOOOON!!!!
man, time flies
in a couple years Laurel and Hardy will be a 100 year old series
That's beautiful, man, can't wait until I can do that with my nieces and nephews!
The Three Stooges are one of the greatest family heirlooms a person can give.
Uuh guys? I think he lowkey said that his daughter is pregnant. Which if is the case. Congratulations!
@@Mr_Fancypants, nope my daughter is 27 and my grandson is 4, he is almost the right age to learn about "the Boys" LOL
and thank you, being a grandfather is awesome!!
As someone who grew up on a steady diet of Three Stooges, thanks for the video, fellas!
Art? Art, is that you?
Agreed, James. The 2012 movie really got the spirit of the Stooges right. It just needed a pie fight at the end.
Sexy nuns in swimsuits is a close second choice!
And a better marketing
Malice in the Palace was always one of my favorites. The part in the restaurant with the cat and dog is gold.
This was one of my late brother's favorites. It makes me miss him but also brings a smile to my face. Thanks guys.
bitter sweet symphony :')
RIP
It does my heart good to see the Stooges get some much deserved respect. I've loved them since childhood.
Same. They were seriously dedicated actors too. Haven't finished the video yet so I'm not sure if they mention it but there's a skit where Moe actually broke a bunch of ribs during a stunt and didn't tell anyone until they finished filming the bit
@@Grom-rl8bm they mention the scene. He falls from the table that curly saws in half.
The 2011 movie is the best movie that could've possibly been made without the original Stooges.
Yeah. The guy on the right is the worst.
I felt like it was the best tribute to comedy legends that ever could be made!
False
@@lerp5555 Every group has ONE!
I remember seeing Joan Howard the daughter of Moe on a talk show years ago. She showed a home movie of the family Christmas it was one of the funnest things I see with her Father and Uncles clowning around with Grandfather trying to control them at the Christmas table with her Grandfather in tears of laughter.
I was always a Larry guy...I love the times he would jump to defend Curly from Moe's beatings with a nasally: "LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!"...Only to be smacked by Moe too.
theres very few instances where larry gets in a good one and bops moe..but its a good one
@@videogamepolak0 thee are also the times when moe isn't in the scene, that Larry takes over as the abuser to curly/shemp. It's in like only 2 or 3 shorts, but apparently there is a stooges food chain of slapping.
@@vguyver2 yeah no doubt, larry takes it hard too sometimes.
@@videogamepolak0 I believe Larry said that while working with Joe Besser that he'd take all the hits since Joe stipulated in his contract that he wouldn't suffer any abuse.
@@vguyver2 yeah they rarely hit him at all...NOT SOOO HARDDDD!
Best Stooge line
Are you married or happy?
Mine was always
Shimp: Who made that hat?
Guy with hat: My mother
Shimp:I thought so
Married...
Im a victim of circumstance
MOE: "Tell me your name,so i can tell your mother."
CURLY: " My mother knows my name."
SLAP!
hehehe
The Three Stooges, Monty Python, John Ritter, George Carlin and Bill Murray all shaped my sense of humor.
FullmetalNinja25 and Benny Hill for me
You forget about Chaplin, buster Keaton, Oliver hardy and stan laurel , benny hill , Ben Stiller, mel Brooks and his entourage , leslie Nielsen
John Ritter doesn't get mentioned enough, guy's a legend

15.37, Moe actually broke his rib in that shot.
I imagine injuries were not uncommon when filming their content.
They happened very often from Moe getting oil gunk under his eyelids, Larry getting stabbed in the forehead with a pen, and Curly getting stitches in his head from an accidental fall
yeah im surprised james the mastermind didnt quote that. He also broke his nose on a swivel door in the playing the ponies episode and is so fucking professional(has in the scene you mentioned) he kept filming to finish the scene.
@@bullseyecello The infamous ink pen. It should also be pointed out they refused to do several stunts. THe episode where they were doing census work ended with them playing in a football games and getting piled on. Moe refused to let any of them get piled on since they were all 5'4" and under. Well they finally got a stunt man involved, and he suffered several broken ribs. Since then, they got stuntmen for some of the more dangerous work. It's unfortunately that the work conditions kept getting worse and worse for them as the production budget was cut over their later years in shorts.
15:37
You're wrong James. The actor's delivery of the line, "Dis house sho gone crazy" is hilarious.
I like your Lucio Fulci Zombie picture
@@AidenJustPlayin Fulci Lives!
@@deraykrause4517 🤢🤢🤢🤢👹👹👹👹👻👻👻👻☠️☠️☠️🎥📺
He was a hilarious actor, great falls. That guy always stuck in my mind.
Hold that Lion. 1947 is the one episode with Moe, Larry, curly and Shemp. Curly is a snoring passenger on the train.
Shemp: What is that, a cocker spaniel?
Moe: I think it's just a spaniel.
Michael what was the episode where they were teachers. The song they sing Is great. Maybe professors I forgot
Frankie Beans80, the song is Swinging the Alphabet. Episode is Violent is the Word for Curly 1938
They also filmed a scene with all four of them in Malice In the Palace, with Curly as a chef and Moe, Larry, & Shemp as waiters, but the scene was foolishly cut, possibly for time. The footage was lost except for one still frame.
Not only was it the only on film appearance with all 4 Stooges together (by extension, all 3 brothers) but it was the last appearance Curly made before his death. He visited the studio that day while they were shooting and Moe was surprised, they wanted to try and find some way to work him in despite his worsening condition. So they got him to do that small part on his behalf.
Moe was truly a great dude, it was obvious how much he cared for his brothers and Larry, doing all he could to protect them or do his best for their sake. It honestly is a shame the kind of heartache and trouble they dealt with.
When Moe faceplanted into the table I was reminded of pro wrestling and the bumps that wrestlers take.
If I remember correctly, Moe broke his ribs with that fall, but instead of calling for help, he got up, ended the scene and then asked to be taken into the hospital.
I AM THE TABLE
I watched this when I was growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s
Same here!
What. AVGN?
Everyone's favorite neighbourhood nazi I don’t think he was quite out yet lol no the three stooges
I'm 32, and slapstick STILL cracks me up!
@Christopher
Im 39 and remember sneaking into my living room in the late 80s around 1am just to watch Three Stooges. Every now and then id wake my dad up on mistake, he'd trounce in thinking he was mad but we just sit there watching a few episodes and having some late night laughs.
Same here, and I find slapstick to be the easiest form of comedy that anyone could laugh at for sure. :D
Slapstick works no matter how old you are or where you are from.
It's universally funny.
I love it when someone turns and immediately walks into a door, bounces off stunned, sticks their foot in a waste basket and then turns the other way, going heels up over a rail and falling into a trash can.
Yesssss funniest line lol
In Chicago they use to play a marathon of the Stooges every year. It was called Christmas in July
Svengoolie used to play 3 Stooges episodes
There was a show called Stoog-a-palooza and that one's hosted by Rich Koz.
Thanks for this! I am Larry's great grandson so I appreciate you guys taking so much time with our boys!!
You mentioned the theme song and i believe its "Three blind mice".
Actually, their theme song changed over the years. It started with "Listen to the Mockingbird", then changed later to "Three Blind Mice". There might have been a third theme too if I remember.
I still have all my VHS tapes that me and my father would watch all the time. I don't have a VCR anymore but I refuse to throw them away.
Those tapes and the Stooges in general are very sentimental to me.
Would you ever buy a VCR later in the future?
A Twilight Zone retrospective in this style would b rad!
I would love to see that, too.
My all time fav show. That would be so awesome
Wasn't Ed, Edd and Eddy inspired by the three stooges?
Yes. In fact, they are The Three Stooges.....
.....of animation.
@@GagsAnimation Agreed. They definitely seem to take reference to the Stooges, and they are uniquely funny as well.
Because something isn't PC now, that doesn't mean it can't be funny. You always make fun of the things you're not allowed to make fun off. Everybody who disagrees can jump from a very high skyscraper... How high? Very high.
Cinemassacre is my favorite Channel on CZcams I absolutely love it, especially these rental reviews can watch them everyday

Moe Howard actually died today. May 4, 1975.
44 years ago. Wow.
Josh Adkins time flies fast.
You mean 44 years ago. He didn't die on May 4th, 2019.
Wow, he died on my birthday. That's just...wow
Ok this is coincidence. I just got finished watching a 2 hours Stooge a thon and now this.
Solid Gamer 2 LIVING THE DREAM!
@@voodoochile333 Hell Yeah!
So do I. Do Cinemasscre get access to CZcams Algorithm?
I just watched a James and Mike Monday extra where he talked about doing a full review of the Stooges. James Rolfe is ON POINT.
i just found a 3 stooges tin sign today at a garage sale..you fancy that?
There was also a made for TV movie with Michael Chiklis back in 2000. He was an amazing Curly.
Mel Gibson, who's a fan, produced that movie.
The Three Stooges will always be my favorite comedians of all time.
That scene you talk about at 15:30 - Moe actually broke his ribs on that fall. Got up and finished the take anyway. Top notch performers.
Quite the comedic badass.
Much as everyone loves Curly, Shemp was always my favorite (with Larry a close second). Also, I'm SO glad that James is carrying the torch for that remake/new movie because so many people hated on it, but I think it was awesome.
Thanks for shouting out Philly guys. It’s my home town and Larry Fine is beloved in our town
Damn. You're bringing up the feels. My grandfather was an old, leathery former construction worker who spoke almost no English. But he loved him some "Los Tres Tontos" and always wanted to watch them with me. That's the best sort of memory to keep, both of us there laughing at their antics.
I so wish they had been allowed to include Mantan Moreland. That would have been epic.
I've been a Stooges fan all my life. My favorite episode is definitely Brideless Groom. That whole thing was nonstop laughter. Something I've always done is whenever something happens and it's obvious what it was, I'll say "What happened?" just to fuck with people. LOL. That's a good one.
I'm glad you mentioned Swinging The Alphabet, even if you only talked about it for one second.
Favorite lines are Curly doing the "ooooh mammy" rhyme and dance....and "I reckon this must be the place I reckon"
That second one I use in conversation waaaay too often.
NIAGARA FALLS! Slowly I turned. Step, by step. Inch by inch.
I love that line. :)
Three Stooges Even 50,000 Years Later Will Still Be Entertaining To Watch In My Opinion! lol
Malice in the Palace is one of my favorites. When they thought they were eating the cat and dog.
Kieran talking smack to Tony is always the funniest part of rental reviews. "Its the FAIRley brothers."
Stab him in the eyeball kieran.
Erik Neumann I wish they didn’t cut it out
I’m 32 and have been a diehard fan of The Three Stooges since I was 5. Till this day, I see them as the starters of true comedy. They’re simply timeless! 💙
Thanks for making this. My dad who passed away two years ago, was born in 1933 and loved the Stooges. As a child born in 1981, I spent many hours watching them with him. I'm with James,Moe was the best.
Curly suffered a stroke and then spent years in an assisted living facility before dying.
He even had a brief cameo in one of their later shorts after Shemp came back.
@@HmmmmNiceBike wasn't it as a passenger on a train or bus or something? God i love these guys
jimmyju76 yes, in hold that lion. He taped a cameo in Malice in the palace but it was cut.
@@HmmmmNiceBike That's awesome :))
@@marcpower4167 That sucks ://
Now that you guys have covered the Three Stooges, are you considering covering the Marx Brothers in the future?
Yessss
Yes! Marx Brothers owns all!
Was thinking the same thing!
Or Peppie & Kokkie?
Charlie Chapman
Sorry, I broke the team-chain.
Oh, Little Rascals!
I find it strange that Curly Howard, Larry Fine and Charlie Chaplin, all comedians from the same era, all died of strokes.
im so thankful for all this content you guys put out now. Massive change from years past. Love itttttttttt
Can we get a video covering Laurel and Hardy? I grew up watching the Stooges and Laurel and Hardy. 😀
This was the perfect vid to watch on a Sunday afternoon.
Some of my greatest memories growing up was watching The Three Stooges with my dad. Still quote them regularly to this day to people’s utter confusion. Glad to see this.
Nate Walking same exact experience and memories
Shemp always cracked me up with his wordplay.
"Gargle with old razorblades" 🤣
Three Stooges have always had a special place in my heart as well. Loved them as a kid and still love it today. They are true comedic geniuses with their hilarious slapstick. Even the movies are great too. Glad you guys decided to review this. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk you knuckleheads
Bottom and the Young Ones (Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson) has a lot of cartoonish physical comedy like the Stooges.
Kelsey Kachnic agreed 👍🏻
the young ones was great!
Don't forget the show that went between those two, "Filthy, Rich and Catflap". Only lasted for one season though. Rich was a failing tv actor, Filthy (same actor as Neil on The Young Ones) was his untrustworthy manager, and Ade played Catflap, who was basically the same character he played on Bottom just with a different name.
@@WildBluntHickok Rik Mayall also played alan b'stard on the new statesman 😆😆😆
I like the episode where vyvan's head was taken off!
This was a great video. I'd love to see you guys do something on Mel Brooks :D
i appreciate the care and attention to detail put into this series
Great video. Any chance of an Laurel & Hardy retrospective?
My grandpa doesn't like the 3 Stooges , but he acts basically just like Moe
Oh, a wise guy, eh?
Sounds like you're a victim of circumstance. Er, I mean: "Coycumstance".
Irony FTW! ;P
why i outta
Well, my best guess is that he hates it because people keep comparing him to Moe then.
I love Malice in The Palace
Larry is so hilarious as the chef , when the customers think that he served them cat and dog 😂
"So you are the perpetrator!?"
😂🤣😂🤣
“Spook Louder” is my all time favorite. I love showing my son episodes and keeping their legacy ongoing. Shows like this will eventually die if we don’t show and educate our sons and daughters.
Also the ice delivery one must be a tribute to the superior 1932 Laurel and Hardy episode "The music box" Highly recommended!!
Both shorts were filmed close to my neighborhood. Staircases are still there.
i love the Stooges. wish you guys discussed the really wacky special effects of their day. that guy getting uppercutted lol
I loved watching the Stooges VHS collections when I was growing up in the 90s. Thanks for covering them in such detail James and helping to keep their legacy alive.
Thank you so much for this video. The Three Stooges were a big part of my childhood. My family and I used to watch a 2-hour marathon that would be on WCIU in Chicago every Saturday for years, and it was easily the best part of my weekend. Hearing you guys go over some of the Stooges' best moments made me reminisce to simpler times.
YES! Trailer Park Boys! James has to watch it.
I second that! Great show
So speaking of old shows and trailer park boys, does anyone else think that Ricky and Lucy is a reference to "I love lucy"? And also I always thought the show was kind of and homage to The stooges. Like Julian's kinda the leader like Moe, I don't know what Ricky and Bubbles would be but I def get that vibe.
I've been wanting him to watch the boys and the Fubar movies for a long time now.
yeah i could see the other guys talking and james wasnt really saying anything, trailer park boys rocks
get two birds stoned at once
Will Sasso was perfect in the reboot!!
Marc guy they all were perfect! and I'm very critical. perfect look, perfect movements and perfect voices...wow! wish they made sequels. at least we got the one movie.
I heard they originally wanted Jim Carrey for Curly. So glad they went with Will instead, he was great. There was also a made-for-TV documentary about the stooges in 2000. Michael Chiklis played Curly and he was perfect.
@@BigAL68xyz I remember that one. It was some type of docudrama. Michael Chiklis did host an anniversary documentary about the Stooges.
As much as my dad & I love The 3 Stooges, we can never get enough of 'Disorder In The Court'.
The part that Tony brings up around 28:46-28:54 involving Curly & Bud Jamison (the actor who plays the attorney) always makes my dad laugh & he still finds it hilarious, to this day.
I've seriously waited over ten years for James to talk about the Three Stooges like this. Awesome!
I've always loved the Three Stooges and specially their non-sensical endings I always said "WTF" at the end. That was pure gold
I recommend checking out this obscure movie called "Stoogemania". Also with the Kook's Tour (and please correct me if I am wrong) Larry suffered a stroke while they were filming it and either got a stand in or just finished the film without Larry.
Love that you all are talking about the Stooges! Grew up watching them every Saturday.
FYI, when Moe fell on that table, he actually broke his ribs but, trooper that he was, got up and still finished the scene.
Great video guys. The stooges are such a timeless classic and its good to see you giving them the props they deserve!
One of the best Cinemassacre reviews yet. Hilarious!
I love chowderhead.
I LOVE RENTAL REVIEWS!
Thanks for this video, guys. I love The Three Stooges with all my heart ever since my uncle introduced them to me. Nobody does it like they did back then and especially now. I was hoping a video like this would be made for a while now!
Ohhhh boy! James you don't know how much you taught me about movies and series or something like that! Thank you so much
Me and my dad used to watch the midnight Marathon during New Year's on TNT
The 2011 movie was great if you like Three Stooges.
The 2011 movie was OK but the fact that it had Jersey Shore people on it ruined it because I hate those shows.
@@seanmichaels8060 *2012 you both got the date wrong.
I haven't seen it so I hope at least some of the Jersey Shore idiots got stooge-smacked.
@@spunkyspaz oh yeah, Moe messes them up real bad. It's the funniest scene in the movie for me
I honestly found that shit hilarious. It’s a bad movie, but the actors who were cast as the three stooges really captured the charm of the original three stooges
Absolute units. So much of my childhood was spent on these guys. Curly was always my favorite
Cinemassacre always uploads when I get home from school and I love it
Oh my Canadian pride when they mentioned Trailer Park Boys...James Give it a watch!!!!
I mean Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles could be the Canadian stooges, when you think about it.
I was so happy to hear it get some attention, I just finished my second rewatch.

Thank you so much for this video I love you for this. I grew up watching them and still watch them. Thanks for keeping the legacy of the stooges alive.
My childhood back in the 90's and it has dvd box collection too which I own and is kinda worth it
My two sons 8 and 5 both come to the living room running as soon as they hear the theme song start. I don’t ever remember a time I didn’t love the Three Stooges, I’ve seen most of them a million times over, they’re so much better now watching with my boys.
I have so many happy memories of watching The Three Stooges when I was a kid. I also watched it a lot with my grandfather. I need to revisit them. Great video!
