My vote? Corny Casanovas.
They use a gun to shoot tacks in Moe's butt, Shemp uses a gun to hammer in a nail resulting in Moe getting shot in the scalp, Shemp hammers a nail into Moe's knuckles, Moe swallows a handful of tacks and they are removed by a magnet, and they spend the last 4 minutes beating the hell out of each other with various objects from the fireplace until Moe and Larry are uncounscious.
YEOW, good argument there Busybuddy for that short. I haven't see that one in awhile, forgot how violent it is!
Many of the arguments are good ones for
They Stooges to Conga and
A Snitch in Time. Snitch has some nasty stuff in there.
Of course Stooges fans still cringe at the climbing spike scene in Conga. I know I do.
Thump had a good point about the violence in
Crime on Their Hands. You have Dapper's henchmen getting a bloody lip, then he's shot and killed
while on the phone with Moe. That's some pretty heavy stuff for a Stooge short, but I think it fits with the film noirish plot of the short.
Which short has more Slaps,
Hoi Polloi or
Cuckoo on a Choo Choo? The back and forth slapfest in Choo Choo with Moe and Shemp has to be a record.
"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!
