Guys Only - The Three Stooges - "They Stooge to Conga" (1943)

I’m half joking with the title “For Guys Only. But, I’m only half. Most women hate the Three Stooges. Something about eye poking and hammer hitting just rubs most women the wrong way. Occasionally you might find a woman Stooges fan; but it’s kind of like a young man looking for love at a Star Trek convention.

In this 15 minute short the boys go from fixing a doorbell to thwarting a Nazi effort at sabotage involving a U-Boat and a shore to shore radio. No one does Hitler better than Moe; and that includes Chaplin in “The Great Dictator.” I also enjoy the use of the few Yiddish words which the boys manage to slip into this one.

Filled with sight gags and verbal; as well as physical; hi-jinks, this one will have you cracking

up just as it did when you last saw it; which was probably decades ago.

"They Stooge to Conga" - The Three Stooges (1942)

In this; one of the wildest 3 Stooges films ever made; “They Stooge to Conga”; which doubled as a wartime propaganda film; the Stooges are out of work and stumble upon a job fixing a broken doorbell. The work is at a German home which serves as a front for a Nazi spy ring.

The boys find the trouble with the bell; along with other unanticipated troubles involving their customers. What makes this film stand out the most from all the other Stooges films is this 3 minute sequence; which is “active” even in comparison to most of their other antics.

The Three Stooges is more of a “guy” thing than for women. I have rarely met women who truly enjoy the slapstick genre of comedy. It’s just a genetic difference, I’m sure. And, as in most things which concern men and women; I say, “Vivre le difference!”
