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.

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
