[@LyleFrancisDelp]

I definitely remember seeing this on TV when I was a kid back in the 1960s.

[@petepeter1857]

Absolutely, so do I. I was living in NYC and they played the Stooges on Channel 11.

[@paulcarpenter999]

Same here, it played in Texas in the late 60s and early 70s.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

@@paulcarpenter999 Texas...that's where I grew up...in Houston....on channel 39.

[@fillup40]

I have seen it.

[@randybell3803]

Me as well . They must have banned it in latter years.

[@steamroller1474]

This is history and should not be suppressed!

[@stevenbaer5999]

I always laughed when Curly Howard was actually complaining about he always getting beans , must be navy beans

[@999manman]

Beans, beeeeeeans!

[@bejoyful]

Will always consider the Stooges hard working patriot Americans; impressed you noticed the kiss wipe and doggy Toto!

[@ricknineg]

Haha, that wipe was so funny

[@deborahpresley4082]

OMG... I pride myself on my own lifelong Stooge-mania... but I did not now that Terry was the dog in this short! Thanx again for all that you do, Rick! You're amazing. You're actually the GOAT of old-time TV knowledge! 🎓😎

[@rhinehardt1]

Thanks for bringing up this forgotten short, which I've never seen before. Banning this film is ridiculous because everything offends somebody, and you can't please everybody.

[@joesshows6793]

This short was not banned BUT I will say that this short as well as ‘I can hardly wait’ are usually ‘short shorts’ used as 5min filler which allows for heavy editing. I have seen the full short in the last year or so but most of the time it’s a short short

[@PoesRaven73]

So wait….we have to worry about offending any Nazis still hanging around?!?!

[@joesshows6793]

@@PoesRaven73 no. I watch the stooges on a regular basis and dvr them all and see it come up now and then

[@genek8630]

I saw this on ME TV not too long ago. ME is not afraid to show this stuff. Just like they show Pepe Le Pew and Speedy Gonzales from Looney Tunes, and Merrie Melodies.

[@franks6857]

I've seen this episode way back! I loved when Curly gets splashed a number of times from the porthole!

[@joeyg2860]

By this time, Terry was ‘formally’ known as Toto.

[@scottbreseke716]

Sally was wiping her mouth because she thought the kiss had smeared her lipstick.

[@317susan]

Exactly- different times.....

[@user-tj6ze2nk4x]

[@robertdiotalevi285]

Boy, are you UMDAY! 😂

[@luiszuniga2859]

Moe's performance is so good, so professional. It's not just putting on a mustache and calling it a day.

[@markcornish2519]

I know "the yoke's on me" was supposed to be banned because they said bad things about Japanese! Duh, we were at war with them

[@scottyb2939]

They aired in within the past few months on AMC. They also aired "You Natzy Spy!" I enjoy your videos/trivia/outtakes/ very much! Toto was a Stooge! Great trivia!

[@michaelnash2138]

Interestingly, "You Natzy Spy" beat "The Great Dictator" to the Hilter-spoofing punch by 10 months. (Of course, it doesn't take as long for a Stooge short to be made as it does for a major motion picture with Charlie Chaplin)

[@larryfischer2972]

I can't imagine where you get that it was banned, I've seen it many times.

[@babykingpin]

I saw this many many times on TV in the 70’s.

[@coburnlowman]

I'm 50 years old. I do remember it from back in the day. Moe and that mustache.

[@patrickmcgrath5411]

THE MORE SCANDALOUS THE BETTER 👍🏻.. ALL DONE IN GREAT FUN❣️

[@_DB.COOPER]

I just saw this on television yesterday.

[@donaldprather2416]

Yes,I have the whole stooges set of shorts.thi is one of them

[@ddavenpAZ]

“Any resemblance between the characters in this picture and other human beings is a dirty shame” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love that! Keeping the greatness of your previous Stooges videos alive with this one Rick! Great work! I learned a lot I didn’t know before which I always enjoy. 😁 More please!!!!

[@drfalcon4102]

seen it a couple of times on METV,,, its a scream....

[@darleennewton1052]

Thanks for sharing the Stooges. So funny!

[@starclone4]

I saw it way back, when I was a kid... Back in the 1960's !!!! Funny as Heck 😂

[@Gman-qm6bv]

This was my first Stooge short to see back in the early 60's and is still one of my favorites.. They show this short on METV regularly. Nazi's is pronounced "Not-sees."

[@rickreardon1644]

I've had the pleasure of watching this short several times over the years, it never gets old

[@jimarcher5255]

Wish they had shown it here.

[@bravoninetyseven]

I remember it because I thought it was silly that Curly would have a shaved head but a full beard after being lost at sea for so long.

[@ricknineg]

Interestingly enough, their hair on their head didn’t grow but their beards did lol

[@rcschmidt668]

Curly patterned baldness! 😂😂😂

[@jacktribble5253]

There were some real gems in there. I didn't see "Toto" coming. I salute your defense of history in its true form. We should not be fearful or willfully ignorant of the truth.

[@ricknineg]

100 percent agreement!

[@Budicles]

People are just too sensitive. This happened nearly 100 years ago. Yes, a tragedy and I am not diminishing that fact. We need to have humor in our lives. This was meant as a political statement and satire too.

[@orbyfan]

Soitanly!

[@Budicles]

@@orbyfan but Moe... We're a victim of circumstances... Nyuk,nyuk,nyuk

[@gloriatg100]

METV has shown all 190 Three Stooges Columbia shorts.

[@crazydragon4277]

I saw this one in 1972. We did not have sensitive people back then. We all made fun of each other, and all got a long.

[@backfreedom8232]

the boys are rockin those beards!

[@jjoe-cy4vn]

I'v seen this on ME TV on saturday night, 6 to 8 pm every week

[@pl5624]

"That's not the same day......Thats the same day!"

[@barrycoats2777]

AS A YOUNGSTER I WOULD RUN HOME FROM SCHOOL TO WATCH THE STOOGES SHORTS, OR ON THE WEEKENDS TOO!! I REMEMBER THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES, I WATCHED IT MANYTIMES. THIS IS HOW I LEARNED THAT SCHICKELBRUBER WAS ORIGINALLY ADOLF"S FAMILIES LAST NAME. IF YOU WATCH WHEN THE BOYS CONFRONT THE CAPTAIN LOOK CLOSELY AT THE BRIEF CASE LARRY IS CARRING IT IS VERY FUNNY!! THESE MEN WERE SOLD SO VERY SHORT THEIR HUMOR IS STILL FUNNY AFTER NEARLY 100 YEARS!!!

[@davidfinch7407]

I saw this in the 1970s. I distinctly remember seeing Moe refer to his mustache as "my personality".

[@varrick1226]

Great job Rick.

[@FreyaTait]

Nazi is pronounced as if there is a "t" before the "z".

[@Vates104]

I think that was how the Stooges pronounced it. Comically of course.

[@FreyaTait]

@@Vates104 Oh, okay. I haven't watched the Stooges, so I didn't know about that.

[@GasPipeJimmy]

No, lots of people from that era pronounced it that way.

[@61rampy65]

Possibly said that way to avoid the evil ogres at KZbin.

[@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY]

I have seen this EPISODE many times this was a very funny one I remember them getting stuck eating beans

[@LeonardoTrasente-zj4lf]

This is one of my favorite episodes and I was born in 1966 and I have seen it many times throughout my life! One of my favorites!

[@mjgrogan1315]

METV plays 3 Stooges every saturday eve. This short was played in last couple of months. Ive seen it numerous times over the yrs. I'm 68 and they still make me laugh

[@scottbreseke716]

So Dorothy got her dog from the 3 Stooges. Interesting twist to the story.

[@fposmith]

Not true !

[@davealessi8520]

Rick didn't know, that was same dog in. OZ. Thanks for the update

[@WinkDaMan07]

The short is actually available on the official Three Stooges KZbin channel!!!!

[@davidmatthews2747]

Wow! I remember watching this short as a kid. I remember the line, “but we’re Nazis…we have no brains….lol

[@mjg263]

They show this on METV on Saturday evenings, seen it a number of times. I don’t know if anything is cut out of it, but they definitely show it in regular rotation. Didn’t know that was “the” dog, cool fact!

[@seanohare5488]

I ve seen this so how could it be banned

[@mikethechristiangamer85]

One of my favorites shorts

[@sallyn2393]

I don’t remember this one, but I have the DVDs so I’ll watch it for sure. Really interesting, Rick. Lots of cool info! TY! 😊

[@joshuabrophy4585]

Yeah, I have watched this as well and got 2 or 3 facts to give out: 1. This was another stooge short to have both Bud Jamison and Vernon Dent (Unofficial stooges) 2. This was the last stooge short to have Harry Semels in 3. When the crew made it to the area where the net is, you can see it is in the air because of the shadow, but then when Vernon Dent goes into the crew in a knocked out sort of way, the net falls due to it being a studio crew member dropping it

[@kennethryesky417]

I saw it back in the day, when Sally Starr had it on her kiddie show in Philly.

[@katharinemarkotan5674]

I do remember seeing this one sometime in the 70's. When we got home from church on Sunday, my Dad and I would sit together and watch the Stooges. My Mom didn't like Moe always slapping Curly/Larry/Shemp around so she wouldn't watch with us. We had so much fun! Proud lady stooge to this day!

[@walterhat1638]

Thanks for the video. I think it is important to not run from what happened in World War 2.

[@Chris-xh9oj]

Stooges were on every day in the 60's, and I saw this one many times.

[@DavidLS1]

Am I the only one who thought to see if Back From the Front was on KZbin? Spoiler alert...it is.

[@craigfazekas3923]

Qualifiers for Stooges ? I know this society is supposedly easily "offended". Which is indicative of how backward America is in the current day. Funny is funny. Amos & Andy included.... Thanks NineG !! 🚬😎👍

[@davidlong1786]

History revisionists want all "bad" things erased including a lot of the history. I say lets show it warts and all.

[@photomanwilliams4147]

Add to the list most old westerns about "cowboys and Indians"

[@Budicles]

​@@photomanwilliams4147great. Now those are cancelled

[@adamrussell658]

Its not just banned in the current day, but for most of the past 80 years!

"First we overlook evil, Then we permit evil. Then we legalize evil. Then we promote evil. Then we celebrate evil. Then we persecute those who still call it evil." Fr. Dwight Longenecker “In the Last Days, Good will be called Evil and Evil will be called Good.” Are We There YET ?

[@frankpetrone2966]

It’s been on METV several times.

[@glenhietala2529]

I've seen this short on TV many times over the years. MeTV runs it on occasion in the Chicago market during its Three Stooges shows on Saturdays at 5:00 CT.

[@hagerty1952]

Glad I found your channel! I just ("just" as in last Tuesday, 3 days ago) finished watching the entire catalog of Stooge shorts via the Sony remastered series. While the quality of the restorations is top notch, one thing missing is bonus features, as in none at all. I'm looking forward to watching some of your reviews to see if they align with my reactions. I'm amazed how many of them I didn't remember seeing as a kid.

[@larrymondello8475]

Thank you

[@aaendi6661]

MeTV plays almost every episode.

[@Eagle48]

It’s pronounced NOT-SEE not NOZZEE

[@rcschmidt668]

It was altered so the ewe toob would not demonetize this video.

[@brotherhiram5682]

It's a gnat, see?

[@brianshields985]

I have seen these shorts many times on TV.

[@uhclem50]

I noticed that even though the Stooges had been on the raft long enough to grow full beards, their scalp hair had not grown at all. 😉

[@joechiaretti4131]

I saw this three stooges flic many times when I was a kid. I loved how they mocked the Nazis.

[@billdelavan1177]

Thanks, good job!

[@TheShortsDepartment]

All 190 Three Stooges comedies were in the Screen Gems television packages as they were released between 1958 and 1960. A few were slightly edited by Screen Gems while others were custom edited by tv stations in-house editors. None were banned. A television station had the right to simply just not run a certain title, but all were available to stations for broadcast.

[@BrianDrake-gs4zk]

"Practicing Jews?". Did they ever get it right?

[@darktimesatrockymountainhi4046]

On YT, one must be careful not to piss off the Nazis

[@randyc9818]

I found it on KZbin. I am glad you pointed out the things to look for. I would have missed it if you had not. Cool episode.

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

And yet, it's on The Three Stooges+ KZbin channel right now.

[@dp.2766]

Fact: The surname “hitler” was Not his (Alois) , step father…. He was born outside of wedlock and his mother died along with her common law husband of disease,. Alois went to live with the brother of her boyfriend, who raised him. Adolph’s mother was actually a cousin to him (by adoption ), who came to live with Alois when his wife was dying of tuberculosis….

[@ScarlettFire341]

Good Post

[@MicahThomason]

I was born in '69 so I was watching The Stooges in the '70s and '80s, and thinking it was new at the time.

[@jebsails2837]

A local afternoon kids show began showing the Three Wise Men in the late '50's, When my mother(1916-2004) queried as to why I were rushing to complete the newspaper delivery, I replied so that I could watch the The Three Wise Men. Her reply was "what, those morons"! Truer words were never spoken. RIP Moe, Larry, and Curly. Narragansett Bay.

[@Kikilang60]

A Three Stooges movie begins with Mo saying " We are the long arm of the law. One holds up his pointer finger and says, 'I'm the first finger of the law. Mo holds up his middle finger and says, 'I'm the second finger of the law.' " Mo gave the audience the middle finger.

[@anthonypanasewiczii8192]

I've seen this short many times going all the way back to the '70s.

[@tenmark7055]

Thanks for reminding me of this. I did see it many years ago but had forgotten it. Need to find it. No idea where I saw it first

[@johnwilson1489]

Thanks!

[@bills6093]

I've seen this short many times on TV going back to when I was a boy. Not sure when it was banned, but it must have been long ago.

[@gailwatson4927]

I am sure this one would have been scandalous with topic. Love that "Toto" played in this episode. Thank you Rick.

[@AmericanActionReport]

I looked up the meaning of the name Schicklgruber (the correct spelling) to see what the name meant. Schickl can mean money or fate; and gruber can mean digger or grubber. Now I see why even the Germans thought the name was funny.

I thought I recognized that dog for somewhere... but, it truly resembled my 2nd wife on the 2nd day of our marriage.

[@GodsOnlyGospel]

I believe it was a violin string. Great shows well done. Been watching the stooges for almost 60 years. The brothers I never had

[@scottoliver4885]

I remember this one fondly as a kid. We had a large collection on VHS so i was unaware it was not shown on TV. Keep up the good work, always enjoy watching these

[@richardeikenburg7347]

It’s not a “battleship”, it’s a commerce raider, something that was greatly feared at the time.

[@LordZolric]

I remember seeing this as a kid, late late 80's at like 4 am in the morning.

[@JohnnyDeath1958]

I have seen this particular short in syndication…back in the late 60’s. I was in the 4th or 5th grade, and a local (Detroit) UHF station would broadcast these shorts in the late afternoons during the week. I would come home from school, do my homework, watch the stooges, then hang out with my friends until dinner time. They weren’t very PC back in those days, so many of these “controversial” episodes were aired.

[@Tucker11111111]

I remember they used to play this one on TV and it was a classic.

[@gregghenderson3438]

Huh surprising I've seen this numerous times on TV and actually at least several times the last couple years on Me-TV

I'm looking for the shirt where the Stooges are in a cabin in the woods and a bear knocks on the door. When Curly answers it, he goes flying up and back, legs kicking, all the way across the set.

[@josephosheavideos3992]

Moe Howard had served as a "doughboy" in WWI (the only Stooge to do so). Of all the Stooge company, he knew the most what was at stake in WWII. Regarding Terry the dog, if this is the same canine who had played Toto in "The Wizard of Oz," Columbia (the Stooges' studio) would have had to have borrowed it from MGM (producers of the 1939 technicolor classic). Studios did occasionally "loan" talent out in that era, but it would seem odd for MGM to have loaned a dog to a competitor for short subject.

[@AnthonyZappacosta]

I watched this numerous times as a kid on WTAF Channel 29 in Philly. I never knew that the dog in the short was Todo.

[@DC9716]

They used to show this and all the other WWII shorts when I was a kid. Before the world went crazy.

Hello, always love the subjects that you touch upon. I have seen this at least twice in the state that I live in and there is a channel here called ME TV every Saturday there is two hours of the stooges and I really didn’t find anything offensive about this. Everybody has a different perspective but mine is just it’s Comedy and that’s how I look at it again thank you for your channel
