Sing a Song of Six Pants

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.

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

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!

Moe, Larry, and Shemp use comic timing and smooth interplay with each other and with the supporting cast to make this a good comedy that gets a lot of laughs from their standard repertoire of slapstick and gag ideas. The setting in a clothing store is used well, with many of the props featuring in the slapstick routines.

The story has the trio stumbling across a wanted criminal, even as they are in the midst of their own business problems. As usual, the Stooges are oblivious to most of what is going on, and yet that merely serves to make it impossible for their adversaries to outwit them. The effect is always funny, and especially so when combined with a little good slapstick.

It's easily among the better of the features that have Shemp replacing Curly. The pace is good, and the story is amusingly improbable. The material is familiar, but funny nonetheless.

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.
