I'm curious:
1 - What's one short widely seen as one of the better ones that you DON'T like?
2 - What's one short widely seen as one of the inferior ones that you DO like?
1.
Three Little Pirates- It's a popular one from the sick Curly era, and there is some funny stuff but I dont think its as
great as most people do. This version of the Maharaja Routine, while funny, still pales in comparison to the first time they did it in
Time Out For Rhythm. The stuff in the Pirate Bar is good but overall I consider this one okay, but not great.
I'd put
Malice in the Palace in this catagory also for a Shemp one.
2.
He Cooked His Goose- Not alot of people seem to like this one because the boys dont act as a team, but I still
think its hilarious, I really love how Larry gets the spotlight in this and gets to be the villian, playing Moe and Shemp for
suckers for most of the short. I also love the music that plays whenever Larry gets an evil idea in his head.
Another one would be
Cuckoo on a Choo Choo which some consider the worst short, but I dont. It's VERY weird but its still funny.
Also, I'm with you Moe and Hammond, I consider
Studio Stoops one of the best Shemp shorts, I really love that one and its
one of my all time favorites.
"Moronica must expand! We must lend our neighbors a helping hand. We must lend them two helping hands, and help ourselves to our neighbors!"
Moe in "You Natzi Spy!"
Larry: Say, when I come back I’ll give you a password.
Moe: Brilliant, what’ll it be?
Larry: Open The Door!
