The Three Stooges were an American vaudeville and comedy team active from the late 1920s until the late 1960s.

They are, it’s claimed, with some justification, the most popular comedy team in history, appearing in almost 200 shorts and feature films from the early 1930s to the early 1970s, hosting their own TV show and making countless stage and personal appearances.

The three Horwitz brothers, Moses, Jerome and Samuel (better known by their stage names as Moe, Curly and Howard with a 4th brother Shemp who is not in this video) were a stunning slapstick humor success.
