It was only until i first logged onto IMDb.com that i realized this short was one of Curly's last episodes. It is also one of his best. One or two other of episodes with Curly "Idiots Deluxe" & "Micro-phonies" possibly could top this. What makes "Three Little Pirates" special is all the 'SECOND LANGUAGES' that is spoken here. You will find,hopefully, that i took quotes from this episode directly from Closed Captioning and added it to help die-hard Stooge fans decipher what exactly is being said(i still can't figure it out.) I may also take some quotes from the other two episodes i mentioned earlier. In Idiots Deluxe, Moe scorns a black cat for "Stomping Around" and in Micro-phonies Moe exclaims on a radio broadcast that GRITTO spelled sideways is OTTRIGGG-GGG-GGG!!! I wish i could find out why the FCC has deemed their episodes as PG(other than the petty violence). That's exactly what is meant by SLAPSTICK COMEDY!!!

Had no idea the video existed until around 1997 or 1998. A friend recorded this video for me via Laser Disc(Japanese import). All interviews were in English but there were Japanese subtitles which kept me from giving this video a perfect 10. It is a good representation of Pat & band. The whole group makes it look so effortless when they are together. I had seen the Group 3 years prior to the release of this video, & i was not 100% familiar with all of the group's music. However, this video peaked my curiosity to the point that since 1994, i've been a loyal fan. In the 20 or so years that i've been listening to the group, i've seen the band 7 times, with one of Pat in a SOLO & TRIO setting, back in '03. Was fortunate enough to meet Pat @ this show, and most of the conversation on my part was all UHHH's !!! Have yet to view this on DVD but most fans agree that it is just as good on VHS.
