The Tragic Downfall of The Three Stooges

The Three Stooges live on and forever will. This vaudeville and comedy team not only entertained us for years but also created content that inspired generations and will continue to do so. The intrinsic idea behind every Stooge production was the same -- all people are stupid, but some people are more stupid than the others and the Three Stooges made the audiences believe this with their performances.

Moe, with his permanent scowl and bowl-cut hair, was the underboss of the group. Curly, perhaps the most loved Stooge of all time, managed to entertain audiences every single time as the incompetent nincompoop forever at the receiving end of Moe's abuse. Larry, a mellow simpleton, served as the perfect bridge between the Moe's scourges and Curly's child-like charm. When the three took to the stage, it rained slaps, smacks, punches, and pokes and audiences invariably found themselves rolling on the floor.

The Three Stooges tasted great success in their life. But, behind the scenes, you would never have guessed that theirs was also a story of greed, exploitation, and opportunism. In this video, we shed light on the tragic tale of The Three Stooges. Stick around to the end of the video to find out how their lives ended right before achieving huge success.

So I'll was born in 1955. I learned how to turn on the TV set myself by watching my parents do it.

And so I would wake up at the crack of dawn. I would watch the TV station sign on. And they would go into the Three Stooges. Then in syndication..

I watched so much TV as a kid. My mother would scream at me, constantly. And scream..."WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DO FOR A LIVING WHEN YOU GROW UP?!?! WATCH TELEVISION???!!!"

Today mom is still alive and pushing 97. I'm 65 and retired. After getting paid to watch television for 20 years. As an NBC-TV Audio Engineer. Thanks mom! She's never lived that down. It sounded like a great idea to me.

The rest of the time I went to rock 'n' roll concerts for free. Actually I got paid to go. To record the rock 'n' roll concert. For local, nationwide and worldwide broadcast. Of rock 'n' roll music festivals. So I also get paid to listen to rock 'n' roll.

I was always taught by my parents never used 4 letter words. Like, WORK. Now I'm 65 retired into old to work a job. Maybe I'll just record more rock 'n' roll? I haven't grown up yet so. I never had any children of my own. To age me.

Instead when I felt parental. I would just borrow my friends kids. And put them to work doing rock 'n' roll audio jobs with me. There were never any complaints. And their stupid parents trusted their kids with me LOL ha ha ha. Now many are degenerates just like myself. And working for major television networks. As engineers and directors. And here I thought Anthony just wanted to be an audio engineer as he said. Now he's a big-time director. What did I do wrong?

Take-2

I loved the three stooges as a kid. They gave me laughter from everything that was going on in my life that wasn't good.

[captdeano]

I was born in 57', grew up watching all their shorts on TV. Hands down their my favorite slapstick comedy team. I still laugh watching all those episodes, "A plumbing we will go" is one of my favorite. Also the Civil War story where the feather pot Holder gets added into the cake.... lmao!

At first, I didn't think very much of the Three Stooges, but after hearing what they went through, I am more appreciative, and respectful, of them.

Love The Three Stooges! ❤ Curly has always been my favorite with Moe at a close second. It always saddened me that Curly passed away so young. So it's heartwarming to see Curly's grandson, Brad "Curly G" Server, carrying on his grandfather's legacy. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. 🙂 He has a YouTube channel where he and some friends create Stooge-like videos. They even traveled the US a year ago with a Three Stooges live show. ❤🙂

Far from a "Tragic Downfall" The Three Stooges had a damn good career and Moe and Larry the two of the "Three" especially. Moe and Larry were together longer than any other comedy team and The Three Stooges especially Moe, Larry and Curly are now part of screen "gems" history for all time.

[naturalobserver]

Larry really was the bridge made that things flow so well. Truly underrated.

[glennandersen]

I had no idea Curly was after Shemp. As a kid I watched episodes with Curly first, then Shemp, so I was under the impression and never actually bothered to learn otherwise.

[garpthehero]

I'm 25 now I remember enjoying their show as a kid.

[bloodyknight]

Wow I honestly had no idea they suffered this much thanks for the info I wish I could have been there to meet such talented people they are always people I go to for a laugh

[kermitmishler]

Greed. I met them on a train on my way to MN and they put on one their acts and every one on the train were really entertained. I've got of the black and white acts. They were the best entertainment at the time. Loved those guys!

The Three Stooges were always our favorite after school TV show, growing up in the 60’s. We would run home from grade school, Junior high, and high school yes even as an adult. I still laugh my tokus off at 4:00 in the morning on TBC. They are a part of the American culture three brothers just trying to to make a living by making so many people laugh. I did not know that Columbia studios were responsible for Curly early death, which shall always be dark moment in Columbia Studios history of events. “what goes around comes around” W.C. Fields
