About "I'll Never Heil Again"

I believe I heard a goof in this short. When the Princess tells dictador Hailstone to look in his telescope for a glimpse of the future, we see the boys being roasted on a rotesserie(sic), we then hear Curley uttering his frequent tag line, "hey Moe! hey Larry!"   Isn't that breaking character, using their names instead of the character's name they were portraying?

If it is,  then I have dibs on posting it to the fan comments for that particular 2 reeler as it appears to have not "been caught" previously.

Not really - their characters' names were Moe Hailstone and Larry Pebble, so Curly's yelling "Hey Moe! Hey Larry!" would be correct.

Hail, hail, Hailstone! Wahoo!

Wasn't Curly slightly burned during the filming of that scene?

That was during the filming of "Violent is the Word for Curly".

This is a little off topic but say what you will about the colorized shorts, this scene is really cool in color!

I just saw that short recently. Very funny. I didn't think it was a break of character. And in any short, I've always thought it so adorable how Curly would always yell, when in need, "Hey Moe! Hey Larry!!!" haha. Ever notice how Shemp  generally just yells for Moe? Sorry, I notice such nonsense. Curly's is cute...like a little kid.

That reminds me of one of my all-time favorite Shemp bits..

*lights out* *fists flying*
Shemp: Here I am, Moe! AAAH!"
Larry: Shemp! Shemp! Are you okay?! *SMACK* (two fists fly from the darkness and sock him in the face*

Oh man. I quote "Who Done It?" all the time.

haaaaa! that bit is so funny and yet for no reason. I just think the fact that Larry RANDOMLY shows up and is like "Shemp are you okay?" is funny. And Shemp always goes into his "moe! moe!" panic mode.

One moment of a break of character that I LOVE...oh man cutest thing, is in that short "So Long Mr. Chumps", at the end. Curly's like "that's a real one I'm no fool" the adorable smile that Larry gives...so a real one. he's like "yeah Curly you're great" haha.
