The Three Stooges--political satirists? Laugh if you will, but as demonstrated by the shorts "You Nazty Spy" and "I'll Never Heil Again"--both of which are featured on this two-disc, digitally remastered set--the boys were the first act in Hollywood to bring attention to the Nazi threat in the days prior to America's involvement in World War II. "Nazty," which was released in 1940 some nine months before Chaplin's The Great Dictator, and 1941's "Heil," have Moe donning the greasepaint mustache to play Moe Hailstone, a dull-witted wallpaper hanger who runs amok as the dictator of Moronica along with his sidekicks Larry (the Goebbels stand-in) and Curly (Mussolini, natch). If the hijinks aren't exactly drawing room humor, one must still marvel at the foresight of the team and director Jules White for conceiving the idea, and by the sheer ballsiness of the Howard brothers and Fine--all Jews--taking the air out of the most insidious anti-Semitic figure of the period. One might also view 1940's "Boobs in Arms," with the boys accidentally joining the Army, as another riff on the absurdity of the slowly mounting war. Of course, the Stooges were better known for their wild slapstick comedy, and Volume 3 of this long-overdue collection presents some of the funniest shorts in their lengthy careers. Chief among these is "What's the Matador," which pits the boys' bullfighting routine against some real live beef, and the delirious "Sock-A-Bye Baby," with the Stooges attempting to care for an abandoned child. Elsewhere, the two main themes of the shorts--the Stooges as agents of fair play, as seen in "Nutty But Nice" (Curly finds a kidnapped man by yodeling) and "So Long Mr. Chumps" (the boys free an unjustly jailed man)--or menaces to society, as shown by the devastation wreaked at a dinner party in "An Ache in Every Stake," is in full effect. As with the two previous volumes, the shorts featured here (eight of which have never been available on DVD) are presented in chronological order and pristine condition, which soitenly makes up for decades of neglect from previous fly-by-night Stooge releases. --Paul Gaita

Worth the money to see these classic shorts again whenever I want. Excellent quality and anyone who grew up watching these after school will love seeing them again.

If you are new to the Three Stooges, get this. If you are a long-time fan, get this. I've been a fan of Moe, Larry, and Curly since I was about five years old. I DON'T care much for any of the other Stooges groups- Moe, Larry, Shemp; Moe , Larry, Curly Joe, etc, etc. The original lineup was Moe Howard, brother Shemp, and family friend Larry Fine. However, after the first few years, Shemp, the oldest Howard brother, was replaced by baby brother Curly, who, in my opinion, is the the best Stooge, and ... Read More

The Stooges were best when they were confronted with upper class society.
When the stooges are involved in the war effort they are not that funny (4,5).
Volumes 2 and 3 are the consummate Stooges. Great writing. Absurd situations and the always inventive Curly. These are the ones you remember from TV.
