I have seen this short many times and actually have it as one of my many shorts on DVR. A couple of parts are cut but I believe it is for the most part, intact. A great short and all three Stooges are hilarious. Another great segment Rick, thank you.
@@ricknineg I also have the DVD collection so any short is right there when I want to laugh at their Super comedic skills. Their comedy has and will continue to span the decades.
The funniest episodes for me is when Moe gets stuck (pipe, door casing falling on him etc.) The other is when he was inflated and floating in the sky, the boys shot him down with a rifle. Boy was he mad.
I saw that one many times. But I'm 71. All the kids in grade school acted the the stooges! 50's and early 60's. They where on tv every day after school!
I started watching The Three Stooges on WSBK TV-38 in the early 1970's. I've seen most every Stooge short but this one does not look familiar! By the by, it's nice to see a younger generation fan of The 3 Stooges.
@@ricknineg There was also a character chasing them that they referred to as the Goon. (I forget which episode.) Also a great character he played. Thanks for mentioning his name, I never knew it.
I love this very ambitious goal you have to cover each and every Stooge episode! Reminding people that these gems are out there is so great, as well as helping us all to appreciate how talented these men were. Thank you, Rick!
They were and still are the greatest! I still laugh just as hard at all their craziness as much as I did as a kid. They’ll never grow old and neither will we if we keep laughing….
I remember seeing this one MAYBE once or twice back in the mid 70's when the UHF channels exploded across the USA. Even in the 90's when TNT showed the Stooges, they did not air this one. It wasn't till METV started airing the Stooges that this episode was shown. That started about 10 years ago. It is a VERY funny episode too! Thanks for that bit about Duke York. I knew he was in several shorts but didn't know that about his death.
I've seen it many times. My favorite scene is when Moe gets whacked in the jaw numerous times by the jack. Another funny part was when Duke York mentioned the windshield was so clean, you'd think there wasn't any glass there. I actually got to use that line when a friend and I were walking down a street in Boston and 2 men were replacing a store front window. We all got a good laugh out of it.
This short has always been on my short list (pun intended) of my all-time favorite Stooges episodes. Probably because of the scene where Moe gets so brutally abused in the repair shop from the jack to the crowbar. I don't know about rarity, but you aren't wrong about cut versions. I remember some time in the late 80s watching the short and it abruptly ended while they were in the falling bomb. I knew it was cut, because I watched it several times uncut in the 70s. That was around the same time as censored Looney Tunes and Parental Warning stickers on CD releases.
The Three Stooges shorts are coming to Blu Ray, but for some reason they are only selected shorts, not the complete collection of every short. A deal breaker for me.
I'm a big Three Stooges collector. I never thought they'd be released on Blu-Ray. Thank you for sharing this information. Could you provide any more details or a link? Thank You! 😁❤️
I’m sure I saw this on television many times as a kid in the late 50s early 60s. I also have everything on VHS and everything on DVD. I haven’t touched them for years because everything’s available on KODI.
Kudos to Sony for keeping all of these "banned" shorts intact in their complete sets. I just saw this (for the first time) a couple months ago along with all the other WWII episodes.
Before it was known for being politically incorrect, this short was known for being Larry's best showing as a Stooge. In most Stooge content, he just stands around looking confused while the action takes place around him. In this one, he really steals the show, especially in the second half.
I wasn't aware it had been banned. I've seen it dozens of times, uncut, on various TV stations going all the way back to the early 70s. It's not that rare.
WTAE in Pittsburgh aired Paul Shannon - Adventure Time in the early 60s. It didn't seem banned then, I saw it in the normal rotation weekday afternoons for years...
I like the end when curly's running away and he's got Adolf Hitler on his rear end and there's a US Marine bulldog. He attacks the picture and currently runs off with the bulldog on his rear end and the bulldogs biting the picture. Thank you.
@@radicalross7700thanks for the response back. Yeah I like that one too. The US Marine bulldog bit Adolf Hitler on curley's rear end that he ran off with it thanks for the response back. 😀👈👏👍😂
@@radicalross7700 Yes Timothy, yeah they show the guy that drove the car in the beginning of that short film. The Three stooges made higher than a kite. Yeah, they said that guy committed suicide at 43 over a love affair. He played all the other monsters and The Three stooges. I never knew that until they said that in that video. That was a good one. I've always liked The Three stooges. I still watch them to this day. I started in the 1960s when I got home from school. I thought it was something new that came on in the afternoon. They're my favorite comedy team. I like Laurel and Hardy and Abbott and Costello. They don't have comedy teams and guys like this that do comedy no more. Those were the good old days. Thank you.
TV stations are weird. This episode is harmless. There are other Stooge shorts I could see being banned before this one but it only takes one director...
You’re so right! It only takes one complaint and one person. So glad I am fortunate enough to see the whole short in its entirety. It’s a gem and a riot 😆
@@ricknineg And it only takes one algorithm to force people to say things like “Mr. H” and to garble the word “Nazi” instead of Hitler. I hate censorship of any kind, and that includes corporate censorship.
What make me mad is that Columbia/ Sony has release the shorts on bluray, but not all the episodes are in the box set. One of the reasons I am not buying the set. I will keep watching my DVD's for now.
I remember seeing all these WWII shorts on TV when I was a kid in the 70s. It wasn't til later that I found out that the all the Stooges were Jewish and that most of the movie studios made similar propaganda films, some more subtle than others
I started watching their shorts back in the early '60s, on an afternoon show for kids broadcast by Channel 4 in Pittsburgh. From the clips shown here, I don't recognize it, but it's possible I may have last seen it 50 years ago, and lost the memory. That being said, there's a link to the full short that came up as my first choice of other videos to watch, so I'll toddle over there and watch it for possibly the first time. I just finished watching, and I can honestly say that I don't remember this one. As usual for me, Larry steals the show.
It’s always a good time to see something regarding the Three Stooges. I hope you’re doing well Rick, please have a great day and Happy Independence Day! Take care!
I've seen it many, many times over the course of my life, even on Channel 32 afternoon runs during the mid 70's. The only scenes they cut were the ones where Moe runs a handsaw over Curly's head, but as I remember they did not ban Higher Than A Kite.
Love the Stooges! Did you know that Moe actually had a near death experience with an airplane? Moe was sitting in a chaise lounge by his pool. When he went into the house to get a drink, he heard a loud boom and the house shook. He ran back outside and found an Army training airplane had crashed beside his pool. It chushed the chair he had just gotten up from. Moe was really shaken and disturbed by this because the two pilots were killed in the crash. You should cover my favorite Stooge film Pardon My Backfire. I believe there are two versions of this video. I just watched it on youtube and there was only one glove. I am positive there is a version without 3D that has two gloves and is vastly superior.
I have seen this one before. Have been watching The Three Stooges on tv ever since about 1960 or so when I was a child. Still watching them today as they are shown on the ME TV channel Saturday evenings.
I guess I grew up in the 'perfect' time zone because I don't recall too much, if any, parts being removed or shorts outright banned when I was watching... then again, the syndication I watched was late at night, so I assume that might've had something to do with it (what parts were cut were likely for time, as I never got to see the Moe being used as an accordion bit from "Disorder In the Court" until I found it on DVD and there's no reason to NOT include that bit on tv unless there was a need to fit it within a certain timeframe.)

Great video! So much great film history that I never knew before and was inspired to look up and learn more! Loved the Marine bulldog the most. Wish there was more to know on him or her. 🐾 😊
I don't know where this has been banned, but I've seen it about a zillion times on a Boston channel that played Stooges shorts for at least fifty years.
Rick, thank you as always for your videos! Please know that you are mispronouncing Nazi. The Z is pronounced as ts. The word Nazi is pronounced as “not see.”

The DVD set is awesome.
Is the version on DVD cut?
@@The3Stooges In my DVD set no.
And now we STILL haven’t seen this great video!
Seen it. METV. love this episode uncut.
MeTV plays this one in regular rotation now, but I don’t remember seeing it before then.
Great station!
Moe with his head stuck in the pipe was the funniest part of that episode 😁😄😅🤣
The funniest episodes for me is when Moe gets stuck (pipe, door casing falling on him etc.) The other is when he was inflated and floating in the sky, the boys shot him down with a rifle. Boy was he mad.
Comes out with screwed black lines
Mannn I’m 60 years old and I’ve seen this short and all the others A TRILLION TIMES 😅😅😅😅😅 and NEVER get tired of watching MY BOYS💯💯👍🏽👍🏽
Also the time Moe got stuck in the dry wall.
Lived Moe stuck in a pipe .. happened to me and buddy's found several Stooges ways of trying to get me out 😮
Love your Stooges work!!! I am 71 years old and have seen it many times.
I've seen this one recently. I'm hooked on the Three Stooges. I've been watching a lot of marathons here on RUclips! It's awesome! 😊
I saw that one many times. But I'm 71. All the kids in grade school acted the the stooges! 50's and early 60's. They where on tv every day after school!
75 here, used to see this one on the Officer Joe Bolton show.

Duke York also played Angel in the Stooges "Shivering Sherlocks" ---- "Angel, strangers in the house"
Yes that’s mentioned in the video. He was super creepy in that role
@@ricknineg There was also a character chasing them that they referred to as the Goon. (I forget which episode.) Also a great character he played. Thanks for mentioning his name, I never knew it.
Was he in the short.crimim out loud with shemp
"He'll do a nice clean job...."
@@johnhannon " Hey, Moe, the goon's coming"
This was commonly in the rotation when I was a kid in the 60s.
I think I know and can recite every line of this short! Good content...subscribed.
Wait till you get to "The Yoke's On Me (1944)," OOF!!! "Higher Than A Kite (1943)" is so f-ing hilarious!!!! 😂🤣🤣🤣 CHEERS! 😊
They are coming!
I love this very ambitious goal you have to cover each and every Stooge episode! Reminding people that these gems are out there is so great, as well as helping us all to appreciate how talented these men were. Thank you, Rick!
Have you ever seen the PSA of the the stooges telling kids don’t do the eye poke gag?
They were and still are the greatest! I still laugh just as hard at all their craziness as much as I did as a kid. They’ll never grow old and neither will we if we keep laughing….
This is one of my favorites of all time. OMG is it hilarious! 😂 Thanks Rick, you are a BOSS!!!
The banned Stooges short were broadcast all the time on local tv stations back in the 70’s. I remember seeing all of them as a kid.
I love the background information, well done. I was hoping the actual clip would be played as well.
I've seen it numerous times on TV.
So funny, thanks Rick😂
I rate this short in my top 5 list of best shorts. The scene filmed in the garage is incredibly funny.
The garage scene was epic
My TOP 3 Stooges short because getting stuck in a pipe happened to me and guys used Larry and Curley ways to get me out ..they thought funny 😮
I remember seeing this one MAYBE once or twice back in the mid 70's when the UHF channels exploded across the USA. Even in the 90's when TNT showed the Stooges, they did not air this one.

Thanks Rick. Let's get Rick to 200K, should we? 👍
YEAH, I SAW IT ON T.V. IN CHICAGOLAND AREA ABOUT 60 PLUS YEARS AGO, AS A KID AND MANY TIMES SINCE!!
Wow! Cool. Being a 3 Stooges fan, I'm going to check that out! Thanks Rick!
What a coincidence. I'd been binge-watching Stooge shorts this last week.
NYUK NYUK
Why soytanly!😂

I don't remember watching this one. I like these little tidbits.

May the 4th be with you (in July). TY for posting.
We have no brains
I remember that line too.
My dad always called him Schickelgruber too!
I think I've seen this short. As far as Three Stooges WWII propaganda shorts, it's not any worse than the one where they blow up Japanese spies...
The Three Stooges shorts are coming to Blu Ray, but for some reason they are only selected shorts, not the complete collection of every short. A deal breaker for me.
And that’s why I don’t like about BluRay. They even cut out scenes and edges of the video. That’s a BIG no to me. I’m DVDs all the way

@@The3Stooges Amazon has it for pre-ordering.
Only 100 of the 190 Three Stooges Shorts are listed as being included in the upcoming Blu-ray set. "Higher Than A Kite (1943)" IS included!! CHEERS! 😊

A real shame the episode wasn't played, replaced by an unnecessary full-length narration.

Nice review! Yes I've seen the episode before. It's a riot.
I have seen it. I recall very clearly the stooges inside the bomb.
Angel. Strangers in the house.
Grrrrr haha😅😂
Hi Rick. Don't comment much, but a big thank you for all the work you put into your great videos.
