Three Little Beers

this is definitely one of my favourite 3 stooges short. i've watched it over and over again and laugh out loud every single time.

i watched 3 stooges as a kid every Saturday morning with my dad, and am only just rediscovering them. watching them now, i didn't think i would like them, as i've grown up and my tastes have changed -- and it's true -- i love the 3 stooges now!

the title is a little misleading, as most of the action occurs on the golf course and not with the stooges' job as beer delivery men.

one thing that makes this short so good is that the stooges split up and create havoc on the golf course on their own, in their own equally funny way. this lets Larry and Curly, for instance, make trouble without Moe there to stop them.

my favourite line in this short has to be when the stooges noisily approach a man who is just about to tee off, and the golfer asks them to be quiet - and Moe replies: "oh, you've got secrets, eh?"

What do you get when you add Three Stooges and eighteen holes of golf? The greatest comedy short ever caught on film!

Moe, Larry, and Curly are working for a brewing company in this one. They hear about the upcoming company golf outing and decide to get in some practice so that they can win the prize money. But putting those three guys on a golf course is bad news for the course! I've never seen such big divots! Even when I play golf! And the ending leaves me rolling on the floor every time I see it. Yes, the laughs certainly are on par.

This is my favorite Stooges short by far. A big whopping 11 out of 10!

This is by far the best short episode i have seen, the most madcapped, slapstick episode created. Moe, Larry and Curly each exhibit their best performances as wannabe golfers, who in their usual way, ruin almost an entire golfcourse, i couldn't get over the laughs in this one! definate 10 out of 10 material!

The Panther Beer Company is having trouble getting their deliveries done on time, so they hire three new guys. You can guess whom! They get off to a bad start when they spill one barrel of beer on top of the company president's head!

It's also time for the beer company's annual golf tournament. Coincidentally, the first beer run is at the fairly-swank golf course. Needless to say, the boys don't exactly fit in at the golf club.

The Stooges trying to play golf is, of course, ludicrous with some classic scenes. By the time they are done, they've ruined the course. The greens-keepers - all with strong Italian accents - are going out of their minds.

The best part of this might not have been the golf but final few minutes when they run away and spill all the beer barrels out of their truck and mayhem ensues in the streets. It's corny; it's stupid, but it is classic Stooges slapstick humor, reminiscent of the silent comedy era which was less than 10 years before this was made.

Note: This is one of those movies in which they spell Curley with an "e." Most of the time, it's "Curly."

Exceptional early comedy from The Three Stooges, taking them out on the golf course where they completely destroy the grounds and make life miserable for the members of a golf club. Moe, Larry and Curley don't know how to play, of course, but that doesn't stop them from joining in anyway after the beer distributor they work for offers a chance for its employees to win one hundred bucks at their annual golfing tournament. Some pretty good lines here and there too, in addition to the expected physical zany routines. A good place to start for first-time Stooge viewers.
