"If I'm gonna get beat up, I wanna get paid for it."
A partial reworking of the immortal "Punch Drunks" (1934), this Preston Black/Jack White short has plenty of wild energy along with some nice interaction between Curly and Larry. The wrestling climax is hysterical — one of the great Stooge endings. "Grips, Grunts and Groans" may lack the iconic stature of "Punch Drunks," but it's damn funny and moves at a faster pace.
