Everyone talks about how Pepe Le Pew is a sex pest, but no one talks about how astronomically unlikely it is that a cat would accidentally get a white stripe on their back that many times

Live your life in such a way that 7 million people don’t show up just to tell you that you are an asshole.

The train scenes are mostly stock footage from #HoldThatLion, including Curly's cameo. By the time of this film's 1953 release, Curly had already died the previous year. #MeTVThreeStooges #BootyAndTheBeast

Peaceful people across the country, in every state, protesting in their cities, is so god damn American.

Attacking the US Capitol is what unhinged lunatics do.

The last appearance of Dick Curtis with the Stooges, as he passed away the following year. #MeTVThreeStooges #TheToothWillOut

Released October 4, 1951, one day before Larry's 49th birthday (born 10-05-1902). #MeTVThreeStooges #TheToothWillOut

Covering one word and flipping the image is one way to avoid product-placement fees... #MeTVThreeStooges #BoobyDupes

Released during the final months of World War II...and shown intact! 😃😎 #MeTVThreeStooges #BoobyDupes

The "Kill you to death / that's too permanent" exchange reminds me of a Jeff Dunham/Achmed line:
"I keel you! Keel you til you're dead! That's worse!" 🤣

The $1,500.00 reward for capturing the crooks would be the equivalent of about $16,900.00 in the year 2023. #MeTVThreeStooges #PardonMyBackfire

Before the opening credits, the Stooges float towards the screen and say "Hello!" to the viewer and draw their canes at the screen's front. The 2-D version of this sequence is not very convincing. #MeTVThreeStooges #PardonMyBackfire

The real answer to how fast they'd have $97 by hanging 25 posters a day would be 388 days, or slightly over a year. They would realistically have had to hang 9700 posters in three days, or more than 3200 posters a day, in order to have the money in time. #MeTVThreeStooges #BusyBuddies

Curly fighting his bowl of soup had to be stopped / restarted several times during filming (watch the tassels on his cap) because the crew members were laughing so hysterically at Curly he was also breaking up laughing. #MeTVThreeStooges #DutifulButDumb

The first time the oyster soup sketch was filmed was in the 1926 Billy Bevan film, Wandering Willies, which like this 1941 film, was directed by Del Lord. #MeTVThreeStooges #DutifulButDumb

Somehow the military uniform of 6'3" Bruce Bennett perfectly fits 5'5" Curly #MeTVThreeStooges #DutifulButDumb

Curly briefly speaks in his normal voice as the bogus police radio announcer. #MeTVThreeStooges #DutifulButDumb
