That Marx Brothers scene in the ship cabin is always good for a laugh.When the Three Stooges came to TV here in Australia.I was about 12,and they were popular with boys of my age then - watching three grown men creating havoc everywhere and knocking each other around.

@craig7

Still some of the best comedy. 🤣

Tough one. The Marx Brothers are great, but the studios believed that audiences wouldn't go for a straight comedy film, so most of their films are weighed down with love stories and musical numbers by co-stars. The Stooges are just comedy all the way through -- though if you try to watch them on TV these days they are so heavily censored it's a sin.

@calicuz The current Stooge broadcasts are heavily censored, some films simply not broadcast. I've seen videos detailing just how much is censored.

@ChipmunkErnie What do they censor? Did you know that the original stooges were real brothers?
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@DallasCowboysFan Moe, Shemp, and Curly were the Howard brothers. Larry was Larry Fine. Shemp was in the original group, working for Ted Healy as Ted Healy and his Three Stooges. Shemp left to have an acting career on his own and Curly, the youngest brother, took his place. When failing health made Curly retire, Shemp came back into the act.

@bookerdana

The scenes where Stan as a genius calling Ollie "Fatty" is some of their funniest stuff.

As a kid I watched 3 Stooges show and cartoon also...I really didn't get the Marx brothers then...as a teen I watched "You bet your life" with Groucho and thought that was pretty good...

Harold Lloyd was popular in his time....1920's and 1930's.
Pretty much forgotten now....

@DallasCowboysFan Not to forget Buster Keaton.
All 3 Howard brothers - and Larry - were funny.

Not so for Chico and - especially - Zeppo.
