The Three Stooges+

On this day in Three Stooges history, Three Little Pigskins was released!

Considered one of the more physical shorts, this was the first time the Stooges refused to perform a stunt. Despite pleas from director, Raymond McCarey, the trio decided to opt out because the football players in the short were actual college players. The studio found three stunt doubles, who ended up getting seriously injured during the scene. Moe was quoted in his autobiography saying that, “McCarey was speechless and sat in his director’s chair with his head in his hands.”

What’s your favorite scene from Three Little Pigskins?

I found out this short marked Lucille Ball's acting debut before she met Desi Arnaz and before I Love Lucy.

I remember they started using this photo as a meme with the caption " I'm going to tell my kids these were the Chicago Bears". 😂😂 I was like okay enough is enough. Clown the Bears all you want, but keep my beloved Stooges out of it 😅. It's an insu

I loved when curly was sat on the dumb waiter and broke the bottom part while he’s pulling the rope and made Larry and moe fell down in the basement including Joe Stacks ( Walter Long ) 😂

My favorite moments from this short were the parts featuring Lucille Ball. She was a stunningly beautiful woman! The first time I watchef it was when I was was 10 years old, back in 2009. I was mesmerized by her good looks even as a kid. 🤩 I'm a third generation Three Stooges fan! I give my awesome father all the credit for introducing me to them!

"Go that way. Go THAT way!" Then they let the other players score. Then also help the ball go over the goal post. "Those dirty double-crossers! They throw this game on purpose!"
