Post by: WingedSerpent on August 25, 2009, 02:16:54 PM Oh,...tough one.
I love the Three Stooges. I also love Abbot and Costello. admittedly I haven't seen that much Laurel and Hardy. I know I like their version of Babes in Toyland the best. Could have made this extra hard and added the Marx Brothers as well. Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: Mr. DS on August 25, 2009, 08:42:48 PM Stooges by far for me. I grew up with them and had a VHS tape of their epsiodes which came on Sundays in my area.

And I agree...Shemp is my favorite! Don't get me wrong-I love 'em all...but Shemp...whatta ignoramus! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn81tOrs3WQ OH! OH! OH! I'm sorry,Moe! :buggedout: That's ok,porkipine- Look at the grouse! I love 'em all. :smile: Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: Umaril The Unfeathered on August 25, 2009, 10:28:11 PM The 3 Stooges all the way, although I like Laurel and Hardy a lot too. Little tidbit about Laurel and Hardy-their movies were done by the same man who did the Little Rascals movies, Hal Roach. That guy knew his comedy.
Here's a clip of one of my fave Stooges sequences. This one was particularly off the wall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jocRd-aajW0 Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy.

Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: HappyGilmore on August 25, 2009, 10:46:24 PM I voted Three Stooges. I never liked Laurel and Hardy, and while I enjoy Abbott and Costello, I can't say I like them better than the Stooges. But, of the Stooges, I gotta say this: Larry is vastly underrated. I liked him the most for some reason. Larry and Curly.

Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: Allhallowsday on August 26, 2009, 11:59:50 AM MARX BROTHERS definitely belong as a choice. Since they're not, I like THE THREE STOOGES best. A&C's favorite film of mine is probably THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES... :smile:

Post by: Umaril The Unfeathered on August 26, 2009, 12:06:23 PM That youtube frame looks like a stunt double for Curly. :twirl: True enough :bouncegiggle: However there was one time that Moe did his own stunt, and it went wrong and it was all caught on film. In one episode, Moe was standing on a sawhorse and Curly cut it in two as he was cutting a board. Moe turned around, looked down at Curly and said "give it to me" and he slipped and fell on his side. He broke four ribs when he hit the ground. They cut the scene there and Moe looked up and said "what happened" and then woke up in the hospital. This from a book I have that Moe wrote about his time with The Stooges. "Moe Howard And The Three Stooges" is the name if I remember. Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: trekgeezer on August 26, 2009, 12:47:01 PM As far as I know the only short they made with doubles was "Three Little Pigskins" and the only reason they got stunt doubles that time was because they refused to work without them.
The Stooges worked for Columbia Pictures for 24 years without a raise. Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: Umaril The Unfeathered on August 26, 2009, 08:37:40 PM Around 1965 the had their own TV show, "The New Three Stooges." The show consisted of a small live-action wraparound sequence, followed by a cartoon short.
Ironically, TV killed them, and also saved them. It opened up a new audience for them and rekindled the old fans while it made scores of new ones. This is all explained on the DVD I have from Rhino records: there's a great interview with the man responsible for the show, Lee Orgel. Very interesting ibterview. Here's a clip of the opening and closing credits (in reverse order) and a small cartoon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkDi9a0MTVY Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy.

Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: Newt on August 27, 2009, 07:13:01 AM :thumbup: While the Stooges, Stan & Ollie and Bud & Lou had their great moments, the Marx Brothers took it to a whole other level.
Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: venomx on August 27, 2009, 01:32:30 PM I really don't know too much about the Marx Brothers.
If I may ask, were any the Marx Brothers episodes about haunted houses or anything spooky? Thank you. Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: BoyScoutKevin on August 27, 2009, 05:39:17 PM I really don't know too much about the Marx Brothers. If I may ask, were any the Marx Brothers episodes about haunted houses or anything spooky? Thank you. I should ask my sister that. She's the big Marx Brothers fan in the family. As for myself, Abbott and Costello to keep it close, and because they slightly edge out Laurel and Hardy in my affection. I will say that all four of them made what they did look so easy, that alot of people underestimate the talent needed to do what they did. Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: venomx on August 27, 2009, 06:13:03 PM Cool, if you find out please let me know. Thanks. :thumbup:

The Marx Bros.-though they incorporated slapstick into some routines-were a more off-beat kind of comedy-the forerunners of MAD magazine and Monty Python.Thinking man's nonsense,I reckon.

Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: Rev. Powell on August 28, 2009, 08:13:11 PM Heck, switch my vote from Abbot & Costello to the Marx Bros. Like Newt said, they took it to a whole 'nother level. Worth watching even though they never went into a haunted house!
Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: the ghoul on August 29, 2009, 12:38:35 PM It's definitely Laurel and Hardy for me. When they were on their game like they were in "Our Relations," and "The Music Box," no one could even come close. That was pure comedic genius. I also love the Three Stooges with Curly. The Marx Brothers were great in "Duck Soup," but I don't like their other stuff that I've seen nearly as much. I do not care for Abbott and Costello at all. I don't find them funny. Although I do love "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," despite the presence of Abbott and Costello.
Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: Warp Ninja X on August 30, 2009, 10:10:05 PM It's really hard for me to choose which one I like the most. So in my mind I choose them all. :thumbup:
Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: Silverlady on March 30, 2010, 07:11:15 AM Abbott & Costello for me. I have a soft spot for "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein" and the other monsters who showed up in the same movie. Also like their films with the Andrews Sisters. On a side note, I had read a biography about them many years ago and their lives endly sadly from what I can recall. Costello lost a a very young son in a swimming pool drowning accident, and Abbott died penniless. Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: The Burgomaster on March 30, 2010, 12:21:43 PM MARX BROTHERS for me . . . but the STOOGES also hold a special place in my heart.
Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: JaseSF on March 30, 2010, 04:36:42 PM I picked the Marx Brothers but personally I'd like to see two more choices on the list: Hope & Crosby and All of the Above. If All of the Above had been there, I would have selected that as I like all these comedy teams.
Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: The Burgomaster on March 31, 2010, 08:20:16 AM We could also talk about the "lesser" comedy teams like THE RITZ BROTHERS and OLSEN AND JOHNSON. And we could do another discussion of THE DEAD END kids and their various progressions (EAST SIDE KIDS, BOWERY BOYS) and rip-offs (Ray Dennis Steckler's LEMON GROVE KIDS).
Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: Chainsawmidget on March 31, 2010, 09:59:09 AM While I like the others, I think the Marx Brothers just blow them out of the water. Each of them managed to work in a different style, as opposed to the others who stayed in one basic role.
Groucho is one of the funniest people to ever live. Title: Re: Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Post by: JaseSF on March 31, 2010, 11:03:42 AM I hope you're not comparing those "lesser" comedy teams to Hope & Crosby. Very few comedy teams, aside perhaps from all those already in this poll, measure up to Hope & Crosby in my eyes.

Post by: Flu-Bird on April 04, 2010, 05:08:23 PM I have seen THE GHOST TALKS i have it on DVD its funny with that suit of armor and the GHOST OF PEEPING TOM And when GROUCHO dose one when I ONCE SHOT A ELEPHANT IN MY PAJAMAS HOW HE GOT IN MY PAJAMAS I;LL NEVER KNOW
