Whoops, I'm an Indian!

"Whoops, I'm an Indian!" is not one of the better Three Stooges shorts, though it is one that features some LGBTQ content!

The story is set in the Yukon during the Canadian Gold Rush. The trio have set up a gambling business but are soon caught cheating. They are now wanted men so they disguise themselves as natives. The problem is that a nasty character thinks Curly is an Indian maiden and not only does he court Curly but marries him as well!

This is a strange short....not bad but really weird. Curly certainly didn't look like an Indian maiden to me but to each his own. I wish them the best.

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team!

This is one of The Three Stooges' best western shorts! Its very funny. Bud Jamison puts on a fantastic performance! His accent is very authentic and his personality is cool. There are many hilarious scenes here including the fishing scenes! I seriously recommend this Three Stooges short to all Three Stooges fans!

In the episode, Curly says he belongs to Chief Vanderpuss, although the closed captioning says Chief Ratapuss, and Moe says he belongs to Chief Afuntagribbinis~ that's how the closed captioning spells it. I am unable to find out anything about Afunta Gribbinis or Afuntagribbinis. What am I missing? Or what is he really saying?

This is another Stooges short with a Western setting, which has some nice backwoods scenery but is otherwise routine. Here, the boys are swindlers run out of town by the customers of a saloon; they subsequently have to fend for themselves, where we get a good gag which has Curly trying to procure food by going underwater and shooting at the fish! Eventually, they reach a log-cabin – the property of one of their 'victims' and whose wife has been abducted by Indians; coincidentally, The Stooges disguise themselves as Native Americans which, of course, incurs the trapper's wrath (and also gives the film its title!). At the finale, our heroes are back in town – believing their Indian disguise will fool the locals – but, on the run once again soon after, they unwittingly lock themselves up in jail!

Whoops I'm an Indian (1936)

** (out of 4)

Lazy short from The Three Stooges has them wanted by the law so they dress as Indians but then run into a man whose wife left him for one. The jokes here are pretty standard and routine and there really weren't any laugh at loud moments. The fishing scene is probably the highlight but even this wasn't that funny.

Now available on Columbia's 2-disc set, which features over 20 shorts, all digitally remastered and looking better than ever. If you're a fan of the Stooges then this is a must own.
