There is an afterlife. I know because it has been revealed to me in Jesus Christ. I humbly ask that you seek him and he will reveal himself to you. We have all done wrong in our lives and have fallen short of God's perfect standard of righteousness. But he came to the earth as a man in Christ and suffered a painful death to redeem us back to himself. You and I broke God's law, and Jesus paid our fine. Thats why his last words on the cross were "it is finished" it's because the debt had been paid for all mankinds' sin, and all we must do is forsake our sins, and turn away from sin toward our suffering Savior, Christ. He then gifts us with a new heart that loves goodness, I've seen him do this in my life. It's truly supernatural, if you humbly ask to know Christ and read the new testament gospels, he will truly show you who he is. Thank you and God bless you!

@@gwill3019 It seemed that all the changes that took place with the Stooges involved the third Stooge. First, Shemp leaves the act because he was tired of Ted Healy's drinking heavily, and the poor way he treated the Stooges. Second, Curly was hired to replace him, and made 97 shorts before suffering the stroke that ended his career. Third, Shemp returned and stayed with the act until the day he died in 1955. Joe Besser was hired to take his place, then Joe DeRita was hired to replace him as third Stooge.

[@danny-li6io]

What were his last words?

[@cleide7282]

They all had a difficult history and they were great, but I have an admiration for Shemp Howard because he was one of the original Stooge, then went on to a successful solo career and then had to leave and come back to The Three Stooges because Curly got sick and also to help Moe and Larry so that these two wouldn't be unemployed and the series ended.

[@Lord_KillerBee]

Shemp did agree to fill in for Curly until he was able to return, but that sadly never happened. Also, after Shemp died, moe and Larry thought of making it with just them but had Joe Besser join them as the third member of the act. But it didn't last that long and then the second Joe aka curly Joe came along and the rest was history.

[@toAdmiller]

Shemp wasn't JUST an original stooge with Ted Healy...He was the HEAD stooge, beating up on his little brother Moe and Larry...But after Shemp left Ted Healy's act, Moe took over as head Stooge in the Columbia shorts...so when Curly had to retire and Shemp came in to substitute, for continuity's sake, Moe had to continue as Head Stooge and beat up on his older brother Shemp as if Shemp hadn't earned his stripes...That's what family does for one another...at least, back then...

[@cagedraptor]

Moe, Larry, Curly (and Shemp) were the greatest comedy team that graced this planet. I'm in my 50's now and even though I have watched them my whole life I still laugh uncontrollably to this day.

[@matthewf1979]

[@spagett2487]

I gotta hand it to Moe for his hard work for trying to keep the Stooges floating during his elderly years.

He might have needed the money because the studio took advantage of them and never paid him what he was worth.

@ moon beam. First of all, the Marx Brothers definitely did not "suck" (as you crudely characterized their brand of humor) as a comedy team! Most fans of comedy movies including myself disagree with you. Second, although The Three Stooges were funny, slapstick humor does not require anywhere near the talent of more sophisticated, better written comedy such as that displayed by The Marx Brothers and Abbott & Costello.

The funny thing is, most classic stars got into showbiz for a quick buck. Even those who did it out of "love for the art" eventually dropped that for the money. I've read Larry Fine's biography, where he admits the Three Stooge act was work, no more. And it paid well, so he liked it.

The trio helps keep me sane in this sometimes INSANE world!!!

[@allanhenriques2694]

I'm 18 now, but i remember going to the library as a kid and picking up the three stooges dvds and bingeing them with my brother. I was always curious and sad about the fact that curly got swapped out without any warning. My habit once got so bad that I convinced my mom I was sick one day, and I stayed home watching the three stooges. The series was an unforgettable part of my childhood

[@arnoldephraums1207]

I remember as a kid growing up in Australia watching them at 5:30 am every morning..... in one episode they played carpenters who were mistaken for couture designers. Their fashion show was inspired by the Dali paintings of dresses with draws built into them and fabric draped from them... I think Dali designed the costumes.... but I'd need someone to verify that .....

[@Guitar387]

Nothing makes me hurt with laughter like the 3 stooges I sometimes laugh so hard it hurts. They were ahead of their time and still hilarious today.

[@rh5466]

I wish these Grunge people would stop putting the word "tragedy" in every video they make. There's more adjectives than "tragic". What don't they understand about that concept?? How about "The interesting life of...", or "The ups and downs of...". It just never ends with these Grunge people.

[@robertcuratolo5339]

Yeah you right they can't find nothing original so they pick on the "Stooges".

[@anthonydesroches785]

See most won't watch unless it has that word.

[@Donegal62]

Did you watch the video. or just come here to make your comment?

[@emmestein]

I guess that "tragic" is a better buzzword than "the interesting life of". Because people seem to be drawn to sad tales rather than informing ones, unfortunately.

[@rh5466]

@@anthonydesroches785 I don't know that that's so, but maybe it is. If it is true, maybe people just like tragic stories. But most of these bios don't fit the conventional definition of tragedy anyways: "Causing or characterized by extreme distress or sorrow.". There was some mishap and misfortune in the Stooges personal lives, but clearly it was balanced with good fortune and good life too.

[@georgegates526]

I'm getting up there in years, and still love to watch the humor of the 'Three Stooges' the humor is not only timeless but, depending upon how you understand it, it can be taken down to four layers. They were funny, and anything but dumb - their timing and acting was impeccable! Also it gives you a great view of what things you saw back then. The street lamps were beautifully made and the shops had elegant touches. The furniture and houses were fantastically sculpted. You saw how people dressed and acted towards each other back then. And the vernacular along with phrasing was a bit different and interesting to hear. Definitely a trip back in time!

[@cvance37]

I didn’t know until recently that all 3 of the stooges were dead before I was even born. I used to love watching them when I was young.

[@hamupinhere]

It's weird, for whatever reason, I thought Larry Fine had lived until at least 1994. No idea why I thought that.

[@robeacott4436]

Same here. Growing up in the 70's there were plenty of black and white shows still on. Mostly syndicated I think and those actors were still around. That's the way you think when you're a kid, there all here. It's a bummer looking back now but at the time for me the Stooges could not have been more alive!

[@reak.5420]

Growing up my grandma always put the threes stooges on TV and I remember laughing and laughing at the show, it really had a good impact on my humor.

[@dustinsims976]

Loved these guys. First time I got stoned there was a 6 hr marathon on and my mom couldn't realize why I was laughing so hard when she got home

[@gregh4827]

The BEST way to watch the 3 stooges!!!! Or anything else for that matter........

[@mountaingoat51]

I love these guys...they kept me laughing when I was a kid and still now. It’s awful how they were treated by Columbia and ripped off by their manager. RIP Fellas and thank you for the laughs.

[@VICMORROWFAN]

The Stooges were genius at their craft and continue to bring laughter to generation after generation to millions all over the world. Timeless comedy that will last a lifetime.

[@jamesroberts9192]

Wow what can you say. I grew up with all of them, so much laughter so much fun watching them before school. Still watching them today. Rest in peace my friends wish the producer's would have treated them as the stars they were 😎👍10

[@sierraking2626]

Damn they had hard lives and they still managed to make us all laugh now that's talent.

[@mulehead126]

Their lives weren't as hard as is depicted in this video.

[@scothammond5736]

Everyone had a hard life in those days. These guys got lucky compared to the rest of the greatest generation

[@visionarylast]

Not to mention they got their start mocking the grave pain of the Afro-American in those days.

[@flcamera]

True pioneers of slapstick and sadly under current climates would never even been given a chance. Sad to hear the boys seemed to struggle off-camera more than the antics they portrayed on camera. Grew up to their craziness and though didn't get it much at the time (as i was bullied and didn't see the funny in it) later came to appreciate their talent!

[@LowellLucasJr.]

I respect ya Moe! You kept everyone's spirits up and still tried to keep the group together! Rest well all of you for you were too good for this world!

[@albertmiller3082]

Larry was a violinist AND a boxer? That is a remarkable mix. Boxing breaks knuckles & fingers...violin playing requires extraordinary dexterity!

[@geraldhawkins2643]

Funniest guys ever,I use to run home from school so I wouldn't miss the show 😂

[@scooterose100]

Me too!!! Good memories.

[@caddiman1990]

Some Comedians always have the hardest life and yet still be able to make us laugh and happy. RIP to the three stooges my best childhood show.

[@acdc09]

Moe didn't die 3 weeks after Larry died, it was 3 months.

[@adalgisacosta2537]

In 1975

[@JennaLeigh]

This channel constantly gets things wrong. Thank you for the fact check! I feel like channels like this are integral to keeping younger generations informed of the past.... But it's incredibly important to get things right!

[@acdc09]

@@JennaLeigh Very good point about channels such as this one providing important information on our history for younger generations. Hopefully they will improve from the constructive criticism.

[@JennaLeigh]

@@acdc09 that is my hope too! This really is a fantastic channel- well presented, professional editing, excellent voice work.

[@mulehead126]

@@JennaLeigh how can you say that channel is "fantastic" right after saying they constantly get things wrong?

[@sergiozammel8261]

These guys made me laugh so much through my life. never again will the likes of these walk the earth. As for the best? Moe, Larry and Curly were a team ,each indispensable, with curly getting the biggest laughs. May you all be at a better place!

[@MrAnschmidt]

Shemp was my fav for a while. I liked his hair. When Moe would smack him in the back of the head, his hair would fall from behind his ears and drape over his face.

[@jacobpacheco3165]

Every New Years eve, me and my family watch the 3 Stooges Marathon till midnight on AMC. my favorite tradition

[@Panzer4F2]

They had cameos playing Airport Firemen in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World". I thought it was hilarious, and in a way a nice tribute considering how many other talented people were in that movie.

[@shaneculkin7124]

Good call. Fun! Thank you for that 😁

[@DOLRED]

Began watching the stooges in 1958 I believe. They came to TV and our local station aired them timely just after school hours--3 shorts in one hour. Still watching them and the humor never gets old for me. Moe broke 3 ribs just after saying "Give it to me!" to Larry and Curly.
