Swear Word uttered in "The Yokes on Me"?
xraffle:
Yeah, I just watched "Knutzy Knights" and you're right. Shemp says that to Moe when they are trying to cheer up the princess. It's the new footage in the beginning. I can't believe I never noticed that before.
BeAStooge:
THREE HAMS ON RYE (1950)
Shemp: "Thou art face to face with a great thesbian lover."
A malaprop, and imo the best double entendre in any Stooges film.
Dr. Belch:
Let us not forget that moment in "Dizzy Detectives" where it sounds like Curly passes gas while rounding a corner quickly. It could be just his shoe squeaking on the floor, but I never heard a shoe make a noise like that.... :P
I wonder if any of the Stooges ever forgot themselves and let loose a few choice words into a hot mike when they actually got hurt doing those stunts? I know I'd do some powerful cussing if I cracked a couple of ribs falling on a breakway table or cut my head open on a loose board....

There's a pretty famous story involving Larry swearing in front of some school children. I don't know if you remember the part in HEAVENLY DAZE where a fountain pen gets caught in Larry's forehead. Apparantly, it really hurt, and he let a few fly not knowing there was a group of schoolchildren watching on a field trip.

I knew about the pen screwup--seems it missed the mark by an inch or two--but not about Larry cussing. Another story goes that Moe chased the director around the room in a fit because he promised Larry wouldn't get hurt doing that stunt. With that little circus going on, I imagine those schoolkids were either thrilled or traumatized for life.
Oh, "Punch Drunks" has always been a favorite of mine, but now I have a new reason to watch: seems some joker in the audience flipped off the camera. Speaking of, Moe asks Larry to give someone the "bird" in "Whoops, I'm an Indian", but Larry does this weird duck call thing with his mouth rather than offer up his middle finger. It's still enough to get him smacked, though.
