Topic: The Ultimate Stooge Villains Tournament - Round of 32

[Paul Pain]

Yes, it's another Stooge Short Tournament!  It's the best I could do for now.  The pool was narrowed as many Stooge shorts don't have a villain, or the villain only is around briefly.  These are shorts with an actual villain whom the Stooges must defeat with their wit and slapstick.  For your benefit, I have linked the discussion to each respective short from metaldams' reviews.   In case of a tie, I'll... figure something out.  The winners advance to the "Bitter 16."  Seedings here are based on the ThreeStooges.net rankings from some previous date, and they are paired in traditional tournament format.  The DeRita movies are also included in this, but they all got booted in Round 1 anyhow!  Vote for your favorite Stooge villain from each set.

How the hell Varanu lost to Sergeant MacGillicuddy is way beyond my ability to comprehend.

[Percy Pomeroy]

How the hell Varanu lost to Sergeant MacGillicuddy is way beyond my ability to comprehend.

Well, to start with MacGillicuddy eventually kills the Stooges. That has to count for something. 

Also, the detonation test is probably one of the most sadistic things ever done to the Stooges and is, of course, the catalyst for the classic "Where were you born?" sequence that follows.

Granted, it's a close call. Stanley Blystone is not on screen a lot and Kenneth McDonald is always great.  I voted for him twice (in HOLD THAT LION! and CRIME ON THEIR HANDS).
