Sing a Song of Six Pants

This is the first of the Shemp shorts that I've seen, and while some of the gags were not the cleverest I've seen from some the Stooges' earlier works, there were also some pretty good sight gags in this film. Moe comes off as a pretty mean guy at the beginning, and cooking lunch on the linen press was hardly impressive, but the ironing scene was funny, as was the fight scene at the end. Besides that, you just have to love the characteristic sound effects.

A burglar runs into the Stooges linen shop, curiously named Pip Boys, followed by a police officer, who the Stooges promptly begin trying to sell new clothing to. They are not doing very well in their business, and when they discover that the burglar was in their shop and not only is there a reward available for his capture but he also left a piece of paper with a combination written on it, they frantically begin their efforts to cash in on the opportunity.

It's a very simple premise devised as a ploy to allow for some of their characteristic slapstick comedy, but that's what these shorts were made for. I found that the funny parts and the parts that just seemed to fall flat just about evened each other out, and while I tend to be more impressed by earlier works like Disorder in the Court, one of my favorites, Sing a Song of Six Pants is an entertaining short film.

If a you are stooges purist and only watch the films featuring Curly, make an exception in this case. ranks with "a plumbing we will go' as quintessential stooges. Larry, Moe and Shemp are the wonderful pip boys, tailors. Includes classic scenes where breakfast (pancakes) is cooked on an ironing press and a crooks head is pressed in the same device.

I've been a fan of The Three Stooges for as long as I could remember. Shemp rules! In this episode our heroes play tailors who are trying to pay off a debt, and they are pursued by ruthless gangsters.

The scene where Moe, Larry, and Shemp beat up the gangsters was one of their greatest moments, ever! I grew up watching comedy teams of the past and back then and even now I'll always think The Three Stooges are funny! I also like Laurel and Hardy and The Marx Brothers, too!

I have other favorite Stooges episodes, but this one tops them all! I give it 5 out of 5 stars!

Lary, Moe, and Shemp are tailors in debt to the Skin & Flint finance corporation which is threatening to repossess their equipment. The radio announces a large reward for the capture of fugitive safe cracker Hargan. Hargan sneaks into the shop to hide as a mannequin while pursued by Detective Sharp. Hargan manages to escape but he leaves behind a piece of paper with a safe combination. He sends his girlfriend Flossie to retrieve it.

The boys try their best but it doesn't have the same slapstick hilarity as with Curley. The shredded coat bit isn't that funny at first but it gets much funnier when the guy returns. It does get into hilarity when the three goons come into the shop. It's just so stupid that it gets to be funny. It's funny when other characters are even stupider than the Stooges.

I was never a big Shemp fan but this is one of his better shorts. The boys are tailors at a store called Skin and Flint and there having a problem with money, a police officer comes by and warns theres a robber on the loose. This was just a really funny short even fight seen at the end was funny Shemp got hung up on a spinning hanger and the guy was punching him and he kept spinning around and punching the guy back.
