Marx Brother were better than the 3 stooges, but no really. I think I was more into puns than pure slapstick when I was a kid.

I didn't get into the Marx brothers when I was young. I just started watching them about 6 years ago.

As far as the 3 stooges movies that were made later they weren't as good as the shorts but I still liked them. I still have 3 Stooges meet hercules which is a classic.

How do you rename a thread?

As a kid I was all about the Stooges and Our Gang. As I got older I could appreciate the more nuanced humor of the Marx's and Laurel and Hardy.

Wow, you must be like 80 years old.

Laurel and Hardy were great, except when they were re-created in Scooby Doo.

When they were in Scooby doo wasn't it just someone doing an impersonation though?

No, I just watched a lot of reruns and marathons WTBS, AMC, and local TV growing up. Plus my old man had/has a mean collection of Stooges, L&H, and The Little Rascals on VHS and encouraged us to watch them.

Yeah, that's why I said re-created.

10,000 Volt Ghost · #35

Gotcha, I thought you just meant animated.

I liked the Little Rascals a lot too. I think my favorite was when they tried sneaking into school overnight to get something for a field trip and they ended up scaring the night watchmen with a skeleton. The night watchman's face is priceless and is the first time I saw a nightcap shoot straight up from fright.

edit: I've also been trying to find a Shemp t-shirt but they only have Legalize Shemp. Which is kinda funny for a few minutes but doesn't do justic.

I liked the little rascals truant officer episode. I think that's the only one I remember though.

Is that the one where he catches them playing Hookey down at the swimmin hole?

My favorite Our Gang was the one wear Alfalfa is playing detective and Buckwheat and Porky "work" for him and they get stuck in a haunted house.

Oh, that's a great one. Where they almost get their head cut off with a Buzzsaw?

The Ol Susanna episode was awesome. Where they hang out with that old broad.
