This Paste is Lumpy! |
|
Involves the Stooges as paperhangers, or in the act of hanging wallpaper or a billboard, and a pair of stooges plaster an unsuspecting victim between the paper and the wall and begin to happily smooth it out. When they reach the person trapped under the paper, one of them quips, "Hey, this paste is lumpy!"
This routine is repeated in "The New 3 Stooges" live-action wraparound titled "Decorators". Moe is the one who gets stuck between the wall and the wallpaper, and Larry is the one who states, "Hey, this paste is getting lumpy!"
The wraparound was used in the cartoon episodes of "The Chicken Delivery Boys", "The Three Marketeers" and "Bridge on the River Cry".

Tooth/doorknob routine |
|
To help pull out the third Stooge''s bad tooth, Moe does the old trick where you tie one end of a string to the person''s tooth and the other end to a doorknob, then he slam the door shut. But instead of the tooth being pulled out, the doorknok gets pulled off instead and when the third Stooge sees the doorknob, he thinks that it''s his tooth pulled out.
