The Tooth Will Out

Larry, Moe, and Shemp get fired and need new jobs. They try to get dishwasher jobs and are immediately chased out. They escape into a dental school and forced to hide from their pursuer. They end up attending the class. Their teacher graduates them, but tells them to go far away and go west. They start up their practice in a desert town and quickly get cowboy patients.

The denture gag is great and it is so simple. Those are some of my favorites. The cowboy dentistry is freaking uncomfortable and funny. I wouldn't want to be there, but I'm willing to laugh at it. This may be my favorite Three Stooges with Shemp.

Another great Stooges short. The boys serendipitously find themselves enrolled in Dental School after escaping their former employer's wrath (Emil Sitka with an Italian accent demoniacally swinging a cleaver---Shemp's high-sign warning to Moe: "George Washint'n! George Washint'n!"). Moe displays his keen mathematical acumen by taking the three-for-$25 option for their tuitions. Shemp falls head over heels for Vernon Dent's comely albeit enormously buck-toothed assistant, Margie Liszt, whose great uncle Franz had composed Hungarian Rhapsody Number 5 with this particular Stooges short in mind. And no wonder: where else will you ever see the Stooges sing in harmony, led by a ridiculously over-sized set of dentures? But Vernon Dent has the best line in the film when he implores the newly graduated (by default) Stooges to get as far away from his establishment as possible: "Go West! Go West!" Oh, if Horace Greeley could only have lived long enough to see this short! Of course he would have been about 150 years old, but why nitpick? The last scene, when Shemp has finally hung his shingle and set up shop, portends the future, for by inference Moe and Larry are his dental hygienists! It's never explained why Shemp gets to be the dentist, but you'll see right away that Moe and Larry knew what they were doing all along. The pace in this magnificent short never lets up, and Shemp, as usual, is brilliant. This one's a must-see.

I think I saw Russell Johnson in the background in the last scene .

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!

A very good and different Three Stooges short. Vernon Dent, Margie Liszt, Dick Curtis, Slim Gaut, and Emil Sitka are in this one with The Stooges. I think that this one is so funny and the scenes with Dick Curtis are hilarious! I recommend this one!
