Why are they still so funny 90 years later?
>>218191803wise guy, ey?*slaps you*
>>218191803Because in the grand scheme of things, we never truly outgrow our “laughing at jingling keys” phase
>>218191803beatings
some people are just timeless. part of growing up is realising that guys like this were always funny.
I grew up in a post-soviet Eastern European country. They would show the Marx Brothers on national television. But never this, because it was considered too low-brow.
>>218191803How did you feel about the movie?
>>218191803Moe is their leader.
>>218191865Yes, timeless
Because you're a manchild.
shemp is goodthere, i said it
>>218191803finding out they were jewish was like 9/11
>>218191803Slapstick comedy never goes out of style.
>>218192025Everyone in Hollywood is jewish because Jews founded Hollywood. Surprised knowing that wasn't your Hiroshima.
>>218191884I don't think more than one or two people in my extended family saw it, the blasphemy of recasting them was too great. If you're not casting three people who want to do a similar act moving forward, but rather three actors to do the role one or two times, what's the point? Just a hollywood cash grab. The real stooges lived and died as a unit, they were extremely dedicated, like what is your recast even about? I sometimes wonder if we were uncharitable to the movie but I just can't imagine it being good enough.
>>218192084"The Jews are trying to take over WB" is one of the most surreal things I've ever read on this site.
>>218192160I haven't watched it but a common note of praise is that the actors do a good job imitating the trioI did enjoy this interview thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JTagwHjafA
>>218192160It’s not like comic books where you can just recast them every 10 years for a new generation of fans, Not every franchise needs to last forever. Look how badly Star Wars and Star Trek are being handled. At least the Stooges dies with dignity.
>>218192213where's Shemp?
>>218192213if they did this on stage it would be incredible
>>218191957brideless groom is a top 10 episode, maybe top 5the tailor shop one is kino too

>>218192640Moe looked pretty decisive with that gun>"I used to fight my way to school, in school, and back home from school." - Moe Howard
>poor>stupid>still dress better than 90% of modern Americanswhere did it go wrong ??
>>218192640i never like Larry
>>218192776When we started importing cheap ass clothing from third world nations
>>218192809Even then people still dressed like adults. Now I see men in their 40s wearing sandals and sweatpants to go shoppingits embarrassing
>>218191803Because they're Jews
>>218191803Same as the Marx Brothers. Or Tom Lehrer. Jews didn't take over Hollywood by accident, they are legitimately very funny. Just because I don't like their overall impact on society overall doesn't mean I can't recognize that fact.
>>218192793Shemp is the only one I would trust to keep an eye on my child
>>218192861Let me just iron this suit and put on dress shoes to go get some food real quick from the store. God, look how much adulting I'm doing. Everyone is gonna think I'm so mature.
>>218191803What is some ACTUAL funny boomer humor? Pre-80s, basically.I like Buster Keaton, anything he did I like to study and chuckle at. Harold Loyd is alright, although not on Buster's level. I do not like Charlie Chaplin.I also sorta like Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, but it's not a great movie or anything. Don't like anything else they did.After that, uh, I guess I like Dr. Strangelove? Pink Panther? Idk. Boomer era humor just does not land for me.
>>218193197Enlightened Antisemites are the way to be imo
>>218193197>they are legitimately very funnyNot really. Anything they were doing before WW2 can work sometimes. Anything after or especially during is zogslop.
>>218193882Mel Brooks
>>218193920Oh, I forgot to mention him, my bad. I like Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankenstein has some great gags. I also sorta like Men In Tights but the least. Spaceballs is alright, but everything else he did isn't for me.
