Scrambled Brains

One of the greatest Three Stooges 2-reelers. Hell, one of the best comedies by anybody. Shemp is a very sick man, suffering from nerves, hallucinations & who knows what else. Moe & Larry can't afford to keep him in a sanitarium, so they have to bring him home to cure him.

Of course, the fact that Shemp suffers from hallucinations leads to some very hysterical moments, the best of them being that he envisions this homely nurse (to put it mildly) as a shapely blonde who he intends to marry. And there's a piano playing session that doesn't end well. Some other funny bits include Shemp's reactions to swallowing his liquid medicine, Emil Sitka as the screwy doctor who examines Shemp and of course, the immortal phone booth scene with Vernon Dent.

How anyone can watch this short & not laugh is beyond me, Shemp fan or not. Funny is funny and "Scrambled" delivers big time. A definite 10 stars.

Scrambled Brains is another one of my favorite Stooge episodes! It starts off as Moe and Larry come to pick up Shemp whom was staying at a hospital and plays the role of a bedlam suffering from hallucinations. Moe and Larry bring him home thinking they could cure him themselves. And along the way discover Shemp is engaged to an ugly nurse he meet at the hospital named Nora. To top it all off, Shemp has a hallucination that the nurse is beautiful!

The funniest scene in this whole episode was when our heroes encounter Nora's domineering father (played by stooge-regular Vernon Dent) in a phone booth! That whole scene just keeps me laughing for a long time!

Shemp was a very photogenic, bubbly, and I have always adored his charisma as a comedian! And I have always loved that about him! He had a wonderfully hilarious sense of humor, too! But sadly, Shemp is the most underrated Stooge. That's because Curly (who I like second best) was always more popular.

So, please stooge fans RUSH to see Scrambled Brains! I have this episode on tape, reserve your copy today! Long live Shemp Howard!!!! :)

Even if you don't agree with the summary line, it's hard to argue the greatness of this 2 reeler. Shemp, suffering with hallucinations & delirium falls in love with Babe London(never has there been a more ironic name). The first reaction shot of Moe and Larry seeing Babe is a 4 star moment within itself. More hilarious mayhem ensues at home, Shemp can't swallow his pills then has an adventure with a piano playing session. The granddaddy of all comedy moments is the phone booth scene where the stooges get jammed in the phone booth with Vernon Dent. It's truely priceless. If you're sitting around waiting for AMC to get this short, don't bother. Run out to the video store and snap this baby up.

Shemp is mostly the showcase for this bizarre outing who is suffering severely from hallunications, so much so that he thinks his ugly nurse Nora (Babe London, a successor to Dee Green, who always played ugly characters in the Shemp shorts) is a beautiful angel. The great supporting performances by Emil Sitka as a near-sighted German doctor and Vernon Dent as Nora's hot-headed father adds a lot of belly laughs to a typical Jules White-directed short.

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!

One of the most unique Three Stooges shorts is Scrambled Brains. In this short are Babe London, Emil Sitka, Vernon Dent, and Royce Milne. The acting by these actors are good especially by Dent and Sitka. There are many funny scenes here that I think most Three Stooges fans will love! In My opinion this one of the most different Three Stooges shorts. I strongly recommend this one!
