Heavenly Daze is the 109th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges, released September 2, 1948.
Shemp has died and is in Heaven, talking with his Uncle Mortimer (Moe, dressed to resemble Moses). Mortimer is on the phone checking to see if Shemp will remain in Heaven or Hell, and it does not look good. Furthermore, it comes to light that cousins Moe and Larry have also not been on their best behavior. Seeing this as an opportunity for his deceased nephew, Uncle Mortimer gives Shemp the chance to reform Moe and Larry from their evil ways so he can gain entry to Heaven.
Tropes:
- All Just a Dream: The ending of the short reveals this as such.
- Amoral Attorney: The Stooges' attorney, I. Fleecem. He charges $150 simply for reading Shemp's will, and chooses to settle for the $140 Shemp left for Moe and Larry; to top it off, he casually admits that any other lawyer would have taken the case for $20.
- Con Man: Moe and Larry plot to con a wealthy couple into buying a fountain pen that writes under whipped cream.
- Fluffy Cloud Heaven: What heaven is like in this short, with solid clouds and angels.
- Invisible to Normals: Shemp cannot be seen or heard by anyone on Earth... but he can interact with them.
- Something Else Also Rises: Angel Shemp's wings take on a rather...um...erect posture when he sees a pretty lady angel. Amazing that such an obviously phallic gag got past the censors.
