Wee Wee Monsieur (1938) is the 29th of Columbia Pictures 190 short subjects starring the comedy team of the Three Stooges. The Stooges are artists living in Paris. When the landlord comes after the overdue rent, the boys skip out and wind up accidently joining the French Foreign Legion. Posted to the desert, their assignment is to guard Captain Gorgonzola from the natives. When the captain is kidnapped, the boys must disguise themselves and try to rescue their captain. This is the first short in which the Stooges sing the "Lollipop Song", which they would sing in later shorts. This is the first short in which the Stooges are told they must don a disguise and they disguise themselves in Santa Claus outfits.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery as we ride Walt Disney World's Monorail from the TTC (Transportation and Ticketing Center) to the Magic Kingdom. Maybe not an E-ticket, but still enjoyable for the view. (more) (less)
My sister sent me this so it's probably all over the internet already. But, what the hell, now it's on mine too.
The stooges are window washers who lose their jobs after Moe impersonates the dentist in whose office they were cleaning. On the run, they are hired by a millionaire to pose as children. It seems the man's wife wants to adopt some refugees to impress her society friends. Moe is Johnny, Curly is Frankie and Larry is Mabel. Everything goes fairly well as the lady shows off the stooges to her friends, but they finally irritate her husband so much that he goes after them with an ax.
From 1945, here is the Stooge short that many fans consider to be the best of them all. The stooges are working in a radio station where a pretty girl has just made a recording of "Voices of Spring" under an assumed name. She wants to hide her singing career from her disapproving society parents while auditioning for Mrs. Bixby's "Krispy Krunchy" radio program. After a run-in with a pompous violinist, the boys find the record and Curly starts mimicking to it, dressed as a women. Mrs. Bixby witnesses their performance and is impressed enough to hire "Senorita Cucaracha" (Curly) and Senors "Mucho" and "Gusto" (Moe and Larry) for her radio program. The boys show up in their disguises to "sing" at a Mrs. Bixby's party but run into trouble when Moe smashes the record over Curly's head. The real singer tries to help by singing from behind a curtain while Curly mimics, but she is discovered and the stooges exit to a hail of phonograph records.
A great Stooge short from 1955. Shemp is a sick man with a bad case of nerves. The stooge's friend Claude, a self-taught healer, tries to cure Shemp with various home- made remedies. When nothing seems to work, Claude suggests they buy his old lemon of a car so they can take Shemp on a trip to the country. The car won't start, and the trip never gets off the ground, but not to worry, Shemp is cured by all the excitement.
From 1937, this is arguably one of the Stooges funniest. The stooges get a job selling "Brighto", what they think is cleaning fluid. After ruining a cop's uniform and a new car, they discover Brighto is actually medicine. Taking their sales pitch to a hospital, they get into more trouble and must leave on the run when the head of hospital turns out to be the owner of the car they ruined.
From 1959, this was the Stooges last short film. Probably the best of the films with Joe Besser. Stranded in Mexico, the stooges need a job and a pretty actress friend gets them an engagement at the Plaza de Toros. When they accidentally switch suitcases with that of their friend, they must sneak into her house to retrieve their own and are confronted by her jealous husband who vows to kill them if he sees them again. At the arena where they perform a comedy bullfight (Joe is the matador, Moe and Larry are in a bull costume) the husband bribes the attendants to let a real bull into the ring. Joe knocks the bull out with a head butt and becomes a hero.

Another video from the rally on March 23, 2007 at the union hall for UniteHere Culinary Workers Local 226 in Las Vegas. Besides Obama, Hillary Clinton, Governor Bill Richardson, and Mayor Oscar Goodman spoke to the thousands of union members in attendance. As I stated on the Hillary Clinton video, I had to use my cell phone for this poor quality video as I had forgotten to take my cameras with me to work and had to go straight to the rally from there. My apologies.
Released in 1934, this is the very first comedy short the Stooges did for Columbia. When they were finished the total would be 190. Far different from the rest of the Stooge shorts, this one is all in rhyme. The stooges join the "Women Haters" club and vow to have nothing to do with the fair sex. Larry marries a girl anyway and attempts to hide the fact from Moe and Curly as they take a train trip.

From 1942, this is the 66th Stooge comedy short. The stooges mistakenly kidnap a baby they find on their doorstep. When the cops and the baby's mother come looking for the baby, the boys panic and flee into the country with the cops (one of them is the baby's father) pursuing them by motorcycle. It all ends happily with the baby reunited with its parents and the stooges running off disguised as bushes.
