Three Stooges: funny or annoying?

Recommended Posts

Sometimes funny, sometimes annoying. But you didn't allow me to check more than one option.

My parents thought they were annoying when I was a little boy, after I imitated the Stooges and poked my sister in the eyes with my fingers.

Fortunately, she retained her eyesight.

the way they did that is they would poke the other guy in the FOREHEAD. If you do it fast it looks like a poke in the eyes.

I wouldn't say that they're hysterically funny. I do, however, giggle like a little girl when I watch them.

But, ummm............you are a little girl.:S:P

Comedic Genius!
Butcher and I used to bring up episode rememberances when we were working on something or eating which brought back memories.

Like the one when they were connecting the water pipes and water was getting routed everywhere. :D

The usual technique for the poker was to use the index and middle finger of one hand. But then a self-defense was developed, consisting of the pokee placing one hand up to his nose, knife-edge pointed at the poker. That way, the poker's fingertips wouldn't penetrate the protective hand far enough to reach the eyeballs. So then the offensive counter-measure was to switch to using one finger from each of both hands to circumvent the protection. And so it went...

I once had a guy invited me to HIS place on New Years to watch and we laughed like little kids ALL night. Well, most of the night.

MasterRig...how DARE you insult Shemp? He was funny..just LOOK at him and you tell me you don't laugh? He had that 'anywhere but here' look about him. He was my top choice for 'alternate' Stooge (I'm not counting Walt, yet).

JohnRich....maybe you got in trouble 'cause you didn't do the sound effect of the eye poke. I'm sure your parents wouldn't have minded you blinding your little sis if you just threw in the "ballink" noise...

When I was a young 'un they were funny.... these days slap-stick comedy just doesn't do it for me... but I wouldn't say they're annoying....



I'm too old for slap-stick. Doesn't do anything for me [:/] hence the 3 Stooges.
(not that I'm old enough to remember it :D)
Be yourself!
