I have a photo of them when they appeared at the Stanley Theater in Jersey City NJ. Also with Joe DeRita. I worked there and found the photo in the office.
Makes me feel bittersweet that the rest of the Stooges never got much of a chance to do solo stuff. Moe Howard doing character acting stuff like that brief outburst here is an interesting premise to ponder.
I remember seeing this 3 Stooges episode on TV when I was a kid, and that "NIAGARA FALLS!" gag has stuck in my head ever since. Thanks for posting this!
I never missed a morning watching the Stooges. This stuck in my head more than any other bit. So silly but I thought they were the best comedians in the entire world.
I’ve seen Lucy do it, and it was performed on Abbott and Costello’s tv show, but they used The Susquehanna Hat Company as the trigger. I’m sure many others have done it, also.
Anybody notice Larry mess up at the end? He says inch by inch, and then quietly says to himself step by step, and then resumes saying inch by inch a second time where he was supposed to.
1972 Suburban Boston in the winters , Stooges every day on Channel 38. When the weather was nice, we were outside. Winter was 3 or 4 friends over and a black and white POS TV in the den.

They may be gone but not forgotten they brought laughter for generations here we are laughing hysterically the howards and fine family would be proud and laughing no one close to the 3 stooges your legacy of laughter still continues on you made my weekend keep the laughs coming appreciate you guys !

Here is a good poem by Curly Howard, a member of The Three Stooges "Little fly upon the wall, Ain't ya got no clothes at all? Ain't ya got no shimmy shirt? Ain't ya got no petti-skirt? Boo, fly, ain't ya cold?"
I was working at a casino a few years ago. One of the other techs was talking about some kind of trip and she outright mentioned Niagara Falls, and without skipping a beat I went into the bit, yelling and everything. Everyone in the shop was _dying_ from the routine.
I remember this episode it was so freaking hilarious how Moe and Larry kept going at Curly whenever they heard the words 'Niagra Falls' and I remember how at the end of the episode they did it again only with a car.
Fun Fact: This sketch was filmed for the movie "Good Luck, Mr. Yates" from i think 1943. The scene was deleted, but Jules White wanted to use the material so he created this short.
That's right. But they're trigger word is "Martha". Oops, please don't go. Step by step, inch by inch. I beat..... Sorry about that. Either "Martha" or Niagara Falls. If someone says or typed it down. I will go what Moe did to Curly. The same thing with Lucy in I Love Lucy. Another thing, 2 of my sisters, adoptive sister and I were named after The Three Stooges. Not kidding.
Thanks for posting this- I remember it from the 70s when I was a kid. Interesting to see them in semi-stooge/vaudeville-roots mode. They would have been awesome cast in a Shakespeare play.
I miss these guys. Fond memories for sure growing up. They were reruns in the 70s, but they still entertained my generation. Pure entaintanment with the likes of The Little Rascles, George Burns and Gracie Allen, I love Lucy, etc... classics.
1 am and I'm cracking up! I looked this up because my 13 y/o granddaughter was talking about Niagra Falls, so of course I reenacted the skit....she didn't think I was funny. Good times!
I was raised on this bit and it’s just second nature to go into the “slowly I turned” bit whenever anyone says niagra falls around me. Barely anyone ever knows what I’m talking about and it kind of makes me sad when I have to explain myself.
It works, even so. The sketch is about how there are more marginally crazy people walking around than you would think, and your random performance would give that vibe.
When I was a kid, the family channel used to have a three hour block at night. I used to watch it all the time. My brothers got me the vhs volumes of the three stooges.
reminds me of this fellow at a senior residence i worked at. but HIS ''niagra falls'' was ''waste water.'' everytime we talked about wasting water he's mention the sewerage plant he worked at and would take out his business card and say ''I'm retired but so-and-so'' still works there. he''ll be able to help with your issue.'' lol RIP Gerry
I remember when I was a child watching this program on DVD with my grandfather and the laughter that this chapter gave us, he laughed so much as if he were a child again who saw the three stoonges for the first time... I miss you so much grandpa
theres nothing like this on tv anymore. im 33. ive been called an old soul. three stooges, chaplin, buster keaton, laurel and hardy, abbott and costello are the shit
I never liked Abbott and Costello as a kid. Never saw the TV show, just a few of the movies. Now that the T.V. show in on youtube, the show is hilarious.
I haven't seen this since the stooges were on after school tv , many moons ago ! I thought it was an abbot and costello skit , it was the only place I could find it "niagra falls" !! But the stooges did it first ! Thanks it's great !
The Stooges were great. I probably saw every one of their videos. Looking at this one, those punches by Moe and then Larry looked very close to Curley's face. The expressions on the band members is priceless!
What a coincidence. Just came over the news today. Niagara Falls on the Buffalo area is going to get 3 ft of snow this week. And it's still a week before Thanksgiving right now.
I met somebody recently and she told me she was from Niagara Falls, and right on beat i said "Niagara Falls!!!!". She had no clue what I was doing. I was saddened 😢
I was just at Niagara Falls with my kids. I blurted out "Niagara Falls! Slowly I turned, step by step..." My kids looked at me like I was crazy.
Amazing!
Did you introduce them to the three stooges? 🥸😂
😂
Ima do this when I go
That just made me laugh hystericaly....Thanks, I needed that... 😎💥
One of the most iconic 3 Stooges skits ever. I'm still waiting for the day somebody mentions Niagra Falls around me, so I can start the monologue
"Niagara Falls!"
Every time someone mentions Niagara Falls I have to reference it.
So far nobody has gotten it.
Makes ya feel old, doesn't it😢
@@joycegossom3569 Yeah, it's been 20 years and my dad and I still sit down to watch it together. I bought the full 17-dvd collection and we're halfway through it now, hahaha

@@christophercanzoneri2962 sadly not while we were in the building lol 😂 but he re-enacted the motions
I giggled like a kid everytime, "Niagra Falls" was mentioned, and the antics they did.... it brought me back to my childhood and I'm 70!
I saw them do this live at Steel Pier in Atlantic City. The original Curly has passed away and it was with Joe DeRita.
I have a photo of them when they appeared at the Stanley Theater in Jersey City NJ.
Also with Joe DeRita.
I worked there and found the photo in the office.
@@citrine65 cool 👍🏿
I live a glance away, I'm looking at the steel pier now. Thank you for your memories.
2:10 - "YAAAAH!! Blood...RIVERS of BLOOD!!" Awesome. Moe never loses it like that.
TM Rezzek, yeah, yikes. Moe actually studied and absorbed aspects of dramatic acting and read books of wild adventure in his youth.
Makes me feel bittersweet that the rest of the Stooges never got much of a chance to do solo stuff. Moe Howard doing character acting stuff like that brief outburst here is an interesting premise to ponder.
3:46 Larry says the wrong words, then he has a brief "Oh shit" moment and somewhat quitely says the right ones and keeps going. I love the classics.
Way to blow it, Porcupine!

There can no doubt these guys are the greatest entertainers of all time.
this skit has been done in very many ways over the years by very many people. but only the stooges can do it perfectly
Even Larry fucked it up here though.

This might be the best comedy routine of all time, bar none. I have been watching this for over 50 years and it still gets me.
I will never stop trying to mimic that glorious ungodly sound by Curly at 2:58
This.. THIS!.. is the Three Stooges's Abbott and Costello "Who's on first?" Routine. Word.
SLOWLY I TURNED!!!! STEP BY STEP! INCH BY INCH! love this shit
When my grandmother was still alive and had dementia, if anyone said Niagara Falls, she would say NIAGARA FALLS!!! Slowly I turned!! lol.
1:41 Curly’s reaction. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only he could nail that reaction 🤣
The 3 Stooges did this bit better than anyone ever did
5 dislikes? NIAGARA FALLS! Slowy I turned. Step by step, inch by inch! I beat them up and ripped their shirts and knocked em down!
I think that's why they disliked...
Abbott and Costello also do this bit.............
That's right. But they're trigger word is "Martha". Oops, please don't go. Step by step, inch by inch. I beat..... Sorry about that. Either "Martha" or Niagara Falls.
