Men......sheesh

[Loverskitten]

They love The Three Stooges?????

 

[mediocre]

The old Three Stooges yes. New ones, Unsure. Curly, yes. Shemp, not as much.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

The Stooges give us the opportunity to laugh at our own weaknesses without embarrassment or exposure. Of course we love them.

 

[Loverskitten]

And ya know what else.... Those underwear are old, holey, and gross, throw them away already!
PS, they aren't outerwear either, put pants on

Okay, now you sound like you've been talking to my partner. They're comfortable, dammit! They've fitted themselves to my body, and they're soft and comfy!

Agreed Sir Winston! Old underwear is like an old friend. They know us is intimate ways, never judge us and let us feel secure by allowing us to be ourselves without fear of judgement.

I know it sounds like an excuse, but unlike women, men have these issues with our bodies because society makes us feel insecure if we do not measure up to some mythical ideal standard. We are bombarded by these messages in the media.

* Go to the Gym! (or take Steroids if you can't)
* Have a full head of hair (or get transplants if you can't)
* Be X inches in length/girth (or get surgery if you don't measure up)
* Last forever in bed (or take pills if you cant)

Further evidence of this is demonstrated by the fact that any woman can start a thread posting pictures of themself and they shall be inundated with compliments. Let any man start a thread and the only response is a field of crickets.

*sigh* If only we lived in a world where there was equality. So I'm sorry you feel this way when we enjoy comfort in something non-judgmental, but I will take the 3 stooges movies and the comfortable underwear, and seek emotional solace in a barley brewed beverage while you live your easy life as part of the majority of the population. It's what we as the caring, nurturing gender need in order to face the cruel cruel world you women rule.

I really hope people can sense the humor in this

I see shows that some of friends just a few years younger than me watched as kids and I wonder what the hell they see in such a stupid show. I think it has a lot to do with what you grew up with. Our minds were still growing back then, and simple things made us laugh.

I like the Three Stooges. I grew up watching shows like Captain Kangaroo, Soupy Sales, Our Gang and the Three Stooges. As a kid, I thought those shows were great. Watching these shows now is bringing back my childhood for a little while.

I've seen previews of the new movie, and I think they do a pretty good job of imitating the original, but I don't think I'll pay to go see it. It's just a copy of what I remember and it's not the same. It might attract people who have never seen the original, but it's not for me.

Different personalities and different ages find their own grade of humor. I think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Speed Racer, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, the purple idiot named Barney and the Teletubbies are all stupid, but I didn't grow up with them, so I understand if someone did. Check out the cartoons of your childhood to see if you still think they are something you'd watch today.

You want to see some stupid movies? All of the Chainsaw Massacre movies, all of the Saw movies and all of the Jackass movies would be a good place to start. But, just like in BDSM, not everybody has the same tastes in movies.

Ha, I disagree. My thread was inspired by a 16 year old watching mesmerized and giggling.
While I look on with my WTF face.
Yes, I have seen the same look on my Mom, way back, as my Dad chuckled at this stupid show.
The three stooges seems to appeal the men/boys of all ages, back then and even now. We don't get it

There's also a thing called "chic flicks" that men don't understand. Mars and Venus. Don't try to understand it. I think the difference between men and women is part of the appeal of the opposite sex.

It's called slapstick... a form of comedy where physical humor appeals to some.
Men tend to be visual.

And while I have watched it's not really my thing, life is funny enough

Yeah yeah, but I like other shows heavy on the slapstick, like the Carol Burnett Show, I love Lucy, etc.
I still think it's just a guy thing. I still love y'all

Yeah, I don't watch a lot of movies but a chick flick is good every once in a while, just like a sad movie. We, women, like to pretend that guys are romantic and such, every now and then *sigh* I think it's time I watch one, got stood up last week.

PS I'm not tryin to figure y'all out. Just making observations

I'm a hapless romantic!
And I would never stand a sexy feline like you up... or any feline for that matter

As far as Carol or Lucy not nearly as much physical comedy, though Carol did have the guys on there but really only Tim did the slapstick stuff.
So again men are visual :caning:

Anyway spring has sprung here in the NE... what a lovely time of year

Carol Burnett, Lucy and all of the others of that type are not slapstick. Those are situation comedies. The plot is based on a situation and how the characters go about solving it. They might have little bits in them that seem like slapstick, but not that much, compared to an actual slapstick comedy.

Slapstick is called that because there is no real reason for it in the plot. That's like the Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy and The Marx Brothers. Slapstick is a boisterous form of comedy marked by chases, collisions, and crude practical jokes. It's very physical and reminiscent of the old vaudeville days when everything was visual because there was no audio.

These days, there are still some parts of slapstick and physical comedy around, but only in bits and pieces such as with Lucy, Carol, the old Dick Van Dyke series and Three's Company with John Ritter.

Lucy, Carol, Dick and John were all special in how they incorporated some physical mishap into their comedy. While it's not considered slapstick it is their Shtick. That means it's just something they do as a part of their characteristic routine. Like at the beginning of the Dick Van Dyke show when he falls over the ottoman? That prat fall is a part of his shtick.

Sorry, I just felt I needed to clarify a little comedy style for the thread.

Very helpful and succinct summation, oh comedy historian.

I do love the Marx Brothers, but not the Stooges so much. I think I get jaded by the Stooges: after fifty smacks to the head, it doesn't, um, hit me the same. The Marx Brothers intersperses the slapstick with wordplay, so it's more unexpected, and that makes me laugh. Same for my beloved "Naked Gun" series, which will always put me on the floor.

Also, Iggy and the Stooges is still pretty fucking good, and musically influential. But were they inspired by Shemp? Hmmm...

Everybody has their personal favorites. I watched them all as a kid, but these days, I don't really care that much for the violence, even though it's simulated. I know the hammer to the head of Curly isn't a real hammer and things like that. They were pros and pros can make it look real. Same with Laurel and Hardy. I always felt sorry for poor Stan.

The Marx brothers did intermix witty humor with their slapstick. They were a very talented family. I always wondered if Zeppo and Gummo could have been one of the funny ones like their older brothers Groucho, Chico and Harpo, but they were only in a few of the movies and always as straight men.

Zeppo was often considered the funiest brother off stage and because he had constantly watched his older brothers act, he could fill in for any of them, if they couldn't preform. In fact, there is a scene in the movie Animal Crackers where Zeppo filled in for Groucho. They changed the scene so the lights went out, making it easier for him to pull it off.

In real life, they could all pretty much pass for each other. In one scene from Duck Soup, Groucho, Harpo and Chico all appeared in the Groucho greasepaint eyebrows, mustache and round glasses, while wearing nightcaps. They all looked identical, enabling them to carry off the "mirror scene" perfectly. Oh, those are not their real names, either.
