* BookDumb: Jerry Mahoney is this; he is a bad student, mentioning how awful he does in school on his tests but he is smart enough to pull tricks to fool Paul Winchell or avoid going to school.

[[caption-width-right:350:The movie's lobby card]]
''Stop! Look! And Laugh!'' is a 1960 CompilationMovie featuring Film/TheThreeStooges. Footage from eleven shorts (starring the original lineup of Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard) are featured; these are bridged by segments with Creator/PaulWinchell and his two dummies, Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff.
Winchell plays the father to Jerry Mahoney, who tries all kinds of tricks for SkippingSchool from painting the windows black to painting spots on his face to fake sickness. At night, Winchell tells Jerry the story of Cinderella, with the Marquis Chimps playing all the roles using voices provided by Creator/JuneForay and [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Alan Reed]].
The movie concludes with Winchell and Jerry unable to sleep due to a party next door, courtesy of footage from the Stooge short ''Half Wit's Holiday''. Winchell goes over to complain, only to be caught in the crossfire of a pie fight to get a PieInTheFace.
----
!!Tropes In This Film:
* TheCameo: Officer Joe Bolton, the local television host of the Three Stooges in the New York area, briefly appears as a customer in the cafe.
* DoorClosesEnding: Happens when Winchell goes next door to complain about the party's noise. Walking into the middle of a pie fight, he gets a PieInTheFace and angrily leaves by closing the door behind him followed by a "The End".
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquis_Chimps The Marquis Chimps]] appear as the characters in Winchell's bedtime story of ''Literature/{{Cinderella}}''.
* ExcitedShowTitle: All three of the verbs in the title are followed by exclamation points!
* ForgottenTrope: Jerry Mahoney comes home from school for lunch. This used to be TruthInTelevision in American schools during the first half of the twentieth century. This stopped by the 1970s due to actually being prohibited both by school regulation and by law because of concerns of truancy, liability and school safety.
* NotQuiteStarring: Despite receiving top billing, the Three Stooges only appear through StockFootage from eleven of their shorts. They never actually appear in person during the film. Sadly enforced for Curly Howard who had died in 1952.
* PieInTheFace: The movie concludes with one courtesy of stock footage from the 1947 Stooge short ''Half Wit's Holiday''.
* PunBasedTitle: The title is a play on the phrase "stop, look and listen".
* RandomEventsPlot: All that happens in the film is Winchell, Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff going through their day with footage of the Three Stooges interspersed throughout the movie.
* SkippingSchool: Jerry Mahoney tries to avoid going to school through various tricks. He paints the windows black to make Winchell think it is still nighttime, he keeps falling asleep and even tries PlayingSick by painting spots on his face.
