History YMMV / TheThreestooges

** Interestingly enough, despite the ([[WorldWarTwo somewhat]] [[UnfortunateImplications justified]]) anti-Japanese sentiment in their shorts, they seem to have not bothered using yellowface or faux-Asian gibberish. In one short (No-Dough Boys), they were mistaken for Japanese soldiers because they were simply wearing the uniforms. No "taped eyes" or "buck teeth" like other films in the Stooge's era. In the above example (Yoke's On Me), the Japanese spoken is actual Japanese [[hottip*: It's been a while since I've seen that short so I may be wrong, somebody please clarify.]].

** First of all, those "Japs" were stated in the short to be POWs, not interned civilians. Secondly, Curly didn't kill them with an exploding ostrich egg. Moe tossed it, and they weren't killed, period. That stated the depiction of Asians in classic Stooges shorts can be grating by modern standards.

* HollywoodHomely: Invoked when Shemp called himself "The Ugliest Man in Hollywood" as part of a publicity stunt.

* HateDumb: Some people have boycotted the upcoming movie simply because Snooki is in it, COMPLETELY DISREGARDING the fact that her only role in the trailer is for Moe to EYE POKE HER.

* FunnyAnneurysmMoment: ''Bedlam in Paradise'', where Shemp has a nightmare that he dies and comes back as a ghost, was released just a few months before Shemp died in real life. Even more upsetting is that this was a re-release of their earlier film, ''Heavenly Daze'' with some new scenes added in; ''Daze'' starts out with Shemp already in Heaven, but ''Bedlam'' includes a scene that actually shows his character's death.

* WTHCastingAgency: While the three [[TheOtherDarrin new actors]] in the 2012 film seem to do a good job with their impressions, the cast of JerseyShore [[WereStillRelevantDammit seems pretty glaring.]]

** Don't forget a number of times when the boys ran into [[DemBones living skeletons]], haunted suits of armor, and yet more flying skulls. [[TheThing Oh yes, and the Goon from Venus as well]].

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: Several of the shorts entail the Stooges' contending with genuinely spooky dolls/statues/puppets/etc. In ''A Gem of a Jam'', for example, Curly eye-pokes a truly [[CreepyDoll creepy-looking clown bust]], and Moe and Larry run away from a [[CreepyDoll creepy Jack-in-the-box]]. Meanwhile, in ''If a Body Meets a Body'', the Stooges are awoken in bed by a crow which hides inside a human skullbone and flies around with its wings protruding through the ear holes and clutching a sheet with its claws while cackling maniacally. If this troper saw such a thing in a strange dark house in the middle of the night, he'd probably scream in horror too.

** In 2011 the cable channel Antenna TV started airing nightly [[MarathonRunning marathons]] of the shorts on the weekends.

* TheBully: Moe.

* HairTriggerTemper: Moe would often hit his fellow Stooges at the slightest provocation, and sometimes with ''no'' provocation or reason at all.

* VindicatedByCable: The Stooges ended up becoming more popular than they ever had been before in the 1960s once their shorts were moved to television.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Too many to list...

* UncannyValley: After watching these shorts for years in black and white, actually viewing the colorized version looks eerily surreal.

** The stipulation that Moe couldn't hit Besser was what did it; annoying is tolerable only so long as it's punished accordingly.
