The Three Stooges Full-Length Comedy ShortsPlay this trailer

Soitenly a find! More than 50 of The Three Stooges' classic Columbia two-reelers are a few slapclicks away, available to view uncut on demand, from their official home, ThreeStooges.net: "The ultimate online resource for The Three Stooges." While the shorts were victims of tiny budgets and uneven scripts, the trio never failed to go for a laugh, consummate showmen among America's greatest clowns.

Review:

Larry, Moe, Curly, Shemp, and Joe can be seen in a wide selection of films spanning their 1934-59 theatrical heyday, including my favorite, "A Plumbing We Will Go," (1940) with the boys fixing a society leak. Other titles: "Violent Is the Word for Curly" (1938), "They Stooge to Conga" (1943), and "Hold That Lion" (1947) with Curly's final cameo appearance (following a massive stroke).
