Sing a Song of Six Pants

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.

Another great Shemp classic that delivers tons of laughs. Even though it's not my favorite, because it seems like Shemp is attempting to steal some of Moe's style, you are still on the floor laughing from the jokes.

The boys are tailors in this episode. They are in great debt and need a to find a way to pay back the IRS so they can keep their shop. When they hear about a fugitive with a pretty nifty award, they have some hopes. But seriously, what are the chances they'd catch this guy? Well, with the three stooges there, of course they'd have a good chance, only they mistake the robber for a mannequin when he is running from a cop. When the robber is in the clear and goes back home, his pants that Shemp removed for a customer are still there at the shop with a combination for a safe with lots of money in it. He decides to go back with some goons, and our stooges get into another crazy adventure not knowing what they got themselves into.

9/10

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.

wow, where to begin? this is a classic on so many counts! the featured clothing store is a modern "vintage" clothing collector's dream, with tons of double breasted wide label suits hanging everywhere, note how tailored suits had the initials embroidered inside the label, and the owners name written in a tag inside the breast pocket, which i learned much later and never understood as a wee lad how Moe found out whose suit it was! When I first discovered Stooges reruns on a local UHF channel, I think the first episodes I caught featured Shemp, and it was my pop who told me about Curly, whom I did eventually see, of course, but I always dug Shemp's antics, and his hair all over his face especially after Moe slapped him.. Just as he does his routine with the card table in Flagpole Jitters, here he wrestles with the ironing board which culminates with accidentally hitting Moe in the face with the broom, and Moe's reaction is as usual, priceless! This was the peak of their shorts, in my opinion, and one of which I never grow tired of watching.. Enjoy!

While this short features Shemp and not Curly, it's still a lot of fun--though I always prefer Stooges shorts with Curly--he was THE third Stooge. However, Shemp does a pretty good job and the team was forced to either disband or keep going without Curly due to his ill health.

This short features the threesome as tailors. They owe money on their rent and unless they pay up ASAP, their business will be closed. But employing some comedy timing, just after getting this letter they overhear an announcement on the radio concerned a wanted safe cracker--and the reward will take care of all their expenses. So naturally the boys ultimately have a showdown with the tough guys and in the end, everything is exactly as you would predict....well, not quite, as the ending provides a cute little twist. While this is NOT a great short, it's agreeable enough and something non-Stooge fans can still enjoy.
