    What a blast, Moe on tar bubble episode!!!

    One most creative Stooge's episode when our friends are making an Airplane to US's Army, otherwise they'll sent to the front as soldiers, they try their best, of course it wasn't enough, meanwhile in the process they haphazardly break down Moe in a tar's bathwater, it dry fast and Moe float into the roof, many attempts to get bring Moe down ends up useless, then he escape though the roof toward in the atmosphere, they shot him and falling down at nearest water well, back at work they finally finish the Airplane, however they forget that there no space at door to take it there, Curly has a bright idea to saw the Airplaine's wings, Moe take the handsaw and saw Curly's head, the whole handsaw is broken, funniest episode from the classic line up of the Stooges!!

    Resume:

    First watch: 1973 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 8

    hilarious plane section

    Larry, Curly, and Moe are the Wrong brothers. The draft board defers their military service due to their claim of inventing an airplane. The bumbling brothers fly their plane "The Buzzard" but it doesn't go well. They are forced to join the army.

    The plane section is hilarious. I love all of it. The army part is a little flat. The drill sergeant has been done plenty of times. It is saved by Curly's wild antics. This is overall a fun one.

    Anything to avoid the draft

    This Three Stooges in this short subject play,Moe,Larry, and Curly Wrong,the Wrong Brothers and they are busy inventing an airplane that our Armed Services could use in the war. What they're inventing looks like something from the previous war, but never mind.

    What was interesting about this short subject is for once Moe was getting the business. He gets blown up in an inflatable suit and it's Larry and Curly that have to bring him down. Of course he's the same old Moe when he's back on terra firma.

    Their test for the army is a bust for their plane in Stooge style. And lucky us they're drafted. We still defeated Hitler in spite of that.

    One of my favorite Three Stooges shorts

    The Stooges are very easily at their hilarious best in this short subject where they play three brothers trying to build the greatest plane ever made so they can avoid being drafted into the military. I laughed out loud the first time I watched this film and I find it no less amusing now. There are plenty of genuinely hilarious laughs throughout.

    Good Three Stooges 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!

    This is a very good Three Stooges short. Harry Semels and Al Thompson are in this one. Richard Fiske is also in the short but his scenes are from archive footage from another Three Stooges short called Boobs in Arms. This is a very good Three Stooges short with many funny parts and I recommend it!

    • Trivia
      The first Three Stooges short to utilize a sound effect to accompany a finger-poke in the eye.
    • Goofs
      When the Stooge's Buzzard goes into a tailspin, another plane streaks by with colored smoke trailing behind. This suggests the filmmaker's used footage from an air-show.

      Moe Wrong: [seeing Curly sawing one of the plane's wings] No, nitwit! You saw the garage!

      Curly Wrong: I see the garage, but I don't saw the garage. You are speaking incorrectly. You are moidering the king's English! Et cetera! See, saw, see...

      Moe Wrong: [grabs Curly by the neck and shakes him] Shut up! You saw one side and Larry will saw the other.

      Curly Wrong: Oh I see, I saw!

      [saws Moe's arm]

      Moe Wrong: [grabs the saw from Curly] Not like that, like this!

      [smacks Curly in the face with the saw then saws his head as Curly yells in pain]

      Curly Wrong: Oh, look!

      [he and Moe notice that Curly's head destroyed the saw's edges]
