History Funny / TheThreeStooges

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHckisUVT-o#t=08m11s The climax]] of the "Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard" [[RunningGag running gag]] in ''Men in Black''.

** Throughout the short, every time the boys leave Dr. Graves's office, Curly slams the door hard enough to break the glass. When they're summoned to his office for the last time, the maintenance man sees them coming and smashes the window himself with his tool box to let them through. (Afterwards, Moe and Larry jump through the window frame, but Curly still opens the door.)

* In ''Feulin' Around'', the villains and Moe and Larry are fighting over Shemp, who is trying to escape them through a hole in the floor. While they pull on Shemp, he's replaced with an obvious stunt dummy with a stretchy neck and legs, and Shemp doing a voice over of "My neck! My neck!"

* In "The Ghost Talks" they meet 'Peeping Tom', a haunted suit of plate mail who watched lady Godiva ride through Coventry (and that mauls them when they try to remove it), at one point the boys have to remove a chest. It's too heavy so they start taking it piecemeal... only to discover [[DemBones its occupant]], 'Red'. As Shemp says, "Ohhhh... [[IncrediblyLamePun Red]] [[Creator/RedSkelton Skeleton!]] For that matter the two skeletons playing a chess game were pretty good too: "Go on! Make your move! Don't sit there like you're dead!"
** There's also Larry's face at the [[IncrediblyLamePun Red Skeleton]] quip.

** Curly barking at the photo of Adolf Hitler. Curly sticks that same photo on his backside later and uses it to escape the Germans; every time they see it they give the Nazi salute. However, this literally [[IncrediblyLamePun bites Curly on the ass]] when he gets bitten on the rump by an American POW: [[AngryGuardDog a Marine Corps bulldog]].

It should be apparent to anyone who’s smarter than the Stooges that they were kings of comedy.

** Curly gives his [=jerkass=] boss Mr. [=McGurn=] a light bop on the chin and sends him straight into the air and on top of the ceiling fan.

* Curly's battle with the still-living oyster in his oyster soup, in the short "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIyWGM2M1z0 Dutiful But Dumb]]". Truly Curly at his best.

* In "The Ghost Talks" they meet 'Peeping Tom', a haunted suit of plate mail who watched lady Godiva ride through Coventry (and that mauls them when they try to remove it), at one point the boys have to remove a chest. It's too heavy so they start taking it piecemeal... only to discover [[DemBones its occupant]], 'Red'. As Shemp says, "Ohhhh... [[IncrediblyLamePun Red Skeleton!]] For that matter the two skeletons playing a chess game were pretty good too: "Go on! Make your move! Don't sit there like you're dead!"

** From the same short, Larry's DisguisedInDrag act, where he says in a mock-girl voice "I am Moronica!" while giving himself PeekaBangs. [[AttractiveBentGender A Nazi officer immediately falls in love with him.]]

* ''Sing a Song of Six Pants'': Larry battling with the "spot", eventually burning a hole through the fabric.

** In one scene, Moe and Curly are working in the basement with the pipes. Without turning around, Moe tells Curly to [[TemptingFate "Give me the torch!"]] Curly innocently turns around with it, [[WhatAnidiot ignoring that fact that it's turned on]], and accidentally [[RumpRoast fries Moe's posterior]].

** Christine is visibly [[{{Corpsing}} fighting not to laugh]] during the first part of Shemp's reaction.
** Shemp was in top form in ''Who Done It?'' It's one of the best showcases for his ad-libbed one-liners.

--> ''*trembling*'' "Feet... why don't you get ''goin'''?"

** Christine is visibly [[Corpsing fighting not to laugh]] during the first part of Shemp's reaction.

** When the Spanish governor has the Stooges thrown in a cell awaiting execution, his fiancee tries to help them escape by giving them mining tools to tunnel out with, via the closet. Problem is, [[WhatAnIdiot they picked the wrong wall and just end up tunneling back into the cell]]
