The cheer "We are morons tried and true, and we'll do our yell for you'' was Moe, Larry & Curly in Half-Wits Holiday.

A "medicine" that you're supposed to drink, yet it can take the paint right off a car! No matter how many times I see that scene (and Vernon Dent's reaction), it always cracks me up. One of the funniest Stooges gags of all, and based on reality— back then, there were all sorts of quack remedies for sale, with all kinds of home-brewed ingredients in them... some not only worthless, but poisonous, too, just like Brighto would have been.

Not to mention what it does to Bud Jamison's uniform or that poor guy's hair!   :o

Dog Hambone:
I think Moe's line sums it all up. Larry & Curly can't decide what Brighto's uses are, & Moe says, "You boys really want to know what it's for? It's for sale!"

And let's not forget the jingle:
Brighto, Brighto, makes old bodies new
We'll sell a million bottles
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
