Which Stooge Short Had the Most Footage Reused In Later Shorts?

As well as TRICKY DICKS (1953). Between those three shorts, almost all footage from LION was recycled.

Oh yeah, that's right! The filing cabinet scene, I believe. It's been awhile, but Vol. 8 will remedy that.
archiezappa:
Ah yes. "Tricky Dicks" is one of my all-time favorites.
LARRY: Poor Shemp, he's dead.
SHEMP: (Hiccup!)
MOE: Not dead, dead drunk!
Lefty:
Is there any part of "Hold That Lion" that is NOT reused in later shorts, other than where Moe says "Slipp" in HTL, but "that crook" in "Booty and the Beast"?
archiezappa:
The Stooges used their share of stock footage in many shorts. That whole deja vu thing keeps you thinking "I know I've seen this before." But they're not the only ones who have done this. My wife's favorite show is Friends. The long-running sitcom from NBC. They have several episodes which were called "clip shows" that use much stock footage from earlier episodes. I thought that was weird. However, I wonder if they got the idea from watching later episodes of The Three Stooges. I guess that, under the right circumstances, they could have used fake Rosses, Chandlers and Joeys. Or even Fake Monicas, Rachels and Phoebes.
