Remember the Three Stooges? Moe, Larry and Curly entertained a generation of kids with antics that were a combination slapstick comedy mixed with unrelenting stupidity.

This post is degrading to the Stooges.
What an insult to the Three Stooges.
A few years ago I read a very insightful article about the Stooges in which the author - whose name I cannot recall - said that as kids we love Curly because he is silly and childlike. As teens we identify with Moe because he is exasperated as the boss who is never really obeyed very well. But as adults, we identify with Larry because he is gentle and just wants everyone to get along.
Good point. I can see that.
I always thought Rodney Dangerfield would have made a great Stooge. Born twenty years too late.
He was also the best cross-dresser of the three. He played the part to the hilt!
They always forget Shemp.
I guess I'm just slapstick mindless inane violence for its own sake-impaired when real people are involved.
