Which Stooge Short Had the Most Footage Reused In Later Shorts?
NYUK1934:
The 1950 Andy Clyde short "Marinated Mariner" virtually composed almost all of the footage from one of his earlier shorts "The Peppery Salt". ;)
Dr. Hugo Gansamacher:
Reading this thread, I am relieved to find that not everyone posting on this site has an encyclopedic knowledge of every single detail in every one of the Stooges' shorts. I think I've seen all of the shorts that have Curly or Shemp in them (I can't stand watching Joe Besser stink up their act, though I chose my alias from Moe's character in one of the shorts that have him), but I'm sure I know less than a lot of people here.

I used to think the same thing, but I got a real appreciation for Joe Besser after viewing all of his shorts in the recently released Vol. 8. He really is a funny guy, but in a different way than Curly or Shemp. Also, Curly & Shemp are very tough acts to follow, & the poor guy never really had a chance considering much of the material they gave him to work with - many rehashes of previous Curly & Shemp shorts.
