Swear Word uttered in "The Yokes on Me"?

--- Quote from: Dr. Belch on July 19, 2008, 01:33:50 AM ---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.

I've always assumed that Larry was about to give him a raspberry (a.k.a. "Bronx cheer"), which I think was also referred to as giving someone the bird.

In BOOBY DUPES, Curly pulls out a recording and reads the title to Moe, which is " Don't Chop the Wood Mother, Father's Coming Home With a Load"...
:D I couldn't believe it when I first heard it because it is very, very suggestive for that time and even now ! They crack me up every time they pushed the line in such a clever way. [3stooges]

Y'know, I never gave much thought to that line, but now that you mention it....WHOA!

"With a load" is a colloquialism for "drunk." It wasn't intended to suggest anything other than that.

Incorrect on several levels. First, you do not, and cannot, know what the original writers or the stooges intended at that time. This, of course, only applies if you are not one of the original writers or one of the Stooges (which I doubt, and one of those options being impossible). So...again, the Stooges played on many sexual innuendo which seemed fun for them and the audience. There are instances of names like " Mrs. Throttle Bottom" and " Mrs. Van Bossom". The Stooges loved the ladies and like most famous male celebrities, enjoyed the natural, beautiful physical ralations between a man and woman as often as possible [pie] There's also instances of phrases like " He threads a fast needle.." and many others that obviously are part of the Stooge nomenclature of fun sexual references. Back to the cussing thing, the episode where they go down to Mexico to do the comedy bullfight has Curly almost saying, " God Damn It", several times, once to the jealous husband of Esther (the attractive female lead), once to a Mexican character, and once to Moe...check it out. [3stooges] Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk... :D
