what blows my mind is the fact these guys all died in the 50s and the early 70s, so most people that grew up watching them didnt even know they were already dead.also they all died broke as fuck, pretty sad.
Tell me more about the stooges~
>>222788856They also did their own stunts, often leading to injuries. When they got injured, they would just make a cut and film the rest later, blending them. So if you see a shot where a stunt is performed, then there's a hard cut suddenly that seems unnatural, it's because someone broke a bone or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_qWxfYTH68>grew up watching them didnt even know they were already dead.Yes, their film shorts became a stable of TV. Then in the 70s onwards, stations would throw on the cheapest shit late night into the mornings, just whatever cost noting. So sometimes b-movies, or stooges shorts.
Gold l zi love my boys
>>222789133For example:This is not a special effect, a fake pen, or some kind of photographic effect. They literally just threw a sharpened pen at Larry's head, and it really stuck into his forehead.
>>222789179
>>222789208Likewise, this is no stuntman, it's literally middle aged Moe falling onto a table resulting in several broken ribs.
>>222788886It’s long been suggested that women hate/don’t get the stooges. Their audience has been overwhelmingly male from the beginning
>>222789252Maybe no one showed them the stooges
i never had these guys on my radar. charlie chaplin, buster keaton, laurel & hardy, the marx brothers all made it into the pop culture in my country, but i don't think the 3 stooges ever made it out of the USA
I actually like shemp
>>222789382most people think he's the best of the 4
>>222789179>They literally just threw a sharpened pen at Larry's head, and it really stuck into his forehead.>>222789208
I used to get mad when Moe hit Larry and curly for no reason but now I realize he had to keep them in line
>>222788856moe must have been seething when their short films were played over and over on TV for decades and they didn't see dime one.
>>222789208That appears to be the type of pen you dip in ink, which were still widely used when the short came out. They wouldn't have needed to sharpen it as they usually have a razor sharp tip.
I know a fella named Mark who does an excellent impression of these cats.
>>222788856They lived in large homes in the LA hills and had the equivalent of like 4 million each in todays money (like 200k back then).They weren't rich but they were comfortable
>>222789208LMFAO
>>222788856I liked Abbott and Costello better
>>222788856Curley had around 70k when he died. he was the "poorest". that's worth about 800k in todays money. he had a house paid off as well and his wife got it all. she was the third wife. the first two drained him dry and not in a good way.Moe had the most with Larry having the second both coming in between 10-20M eachthats like 100-120 million in todays money. they were not poor. it says moe owned modest homes all over. he was more of a landlord. Jews are frugal af. they dont live in massive mansions. but Larry lived in Los Feliz which is Upper Middle class. he lived in a modest 4 bedroom home. the internet calls it a mansion but homes are just super pricey in Los Feliz. I think Jack Black lives there
>>222789792Abbot and Costello are the thinking man's vintage television. The Stooges are good when you feel like being a retard and laughing at the television like Dee's retard boyfriend in IASIP. Sometimes you just gotta let loose you know
>>222790239that's the marx brothers
>>222789792IIRC bud abbot died in poverty too after the IRS fucked him and lou over. Lou died of a heart attack at 53.
>>222789777Having a mansion in the LA hills and 4 million in the bank is not being rich?
>>222790273bud died totally broke, he even did a magazine interview and begged each of his fans to send him a dollar
>>222790150>Jews are frugal af. they dont live in massive mansions.Yeah, I know the type - they tended to be the ones that came over and carried over thier habits. Their families were poor, and even when they got rich they never updated their ways. Warren Buffet is kind of similar. Still lives in a modest house (by rich guy standards) that he bought when he was young. His house is a modest 1.35 million dutch colonial style house and it looks 100x better than the horse shit mega McMansions idiot rich epople are making. did you know mmost of these mega-rich houses built in the last 30 years use the exact same materials and techniques as poor houses, just scaled up? It's all paper and drywall and corner cutting.
>>222790307Bam tier
>>222790273IRS doesn't screw people over, they just get too rich too fast, and don't understand taxes. Most of us schlubs pay a pitance on taxes or get a rebate back. Rich fucks have to spend hundreds of thousands or millions in taxes.What happens is they get rich --> blow all their money --> then the taxman comes around. Proper accounting avoids that. Happens all the time with actors and sports stars, since they get such big paychecks up front, and then don't think about the taxes they have to pay at the end of the year.
>>222789698aint no way a stooge would pay for a drink in a bar i was at.
>>222789208
>>222789208he was always the reallest one
>>222791433he's the only one who would come out and say it wasn't all fun and games . . because he wasn't an animal like the howard bros. They were pure theater like the Jacksons
>>222789222My dad has this one on vhs. Great slapstick with some word play here and there. >whatll you have for breakfast?>burnt toast and a rotten egg>burnt toast and a rotten egg? What you want that for?>i got a tapeworm its good enough for him
>>222791488checkedI used to lose my shit at Punch Drunks and I'm pretty sure moe or curly directed that one
