Great job! You always have me learning something new!! I met Adam West and he was such a gentleman. I was working in hotels at the time. He actually had me sit down and have breakfast with him. I'll never forget him and his kindness,as well as all the other celebrities i met. Thanks,Dave!!! 😊
I remember watching that Mike Douglas show with my dad back in 1973. I asked him why does Moe have grey hair?.. my dad replied: "He's old now!" Got to hand it to Mike Douglas for bringing Moe on. That show got some very high ratings too.
I haven’t said much lately and I’ve been pretty busy but I picked up the computer today and saw this video and you still have it thank you so much for this I appreciate it
Not gonna lie, the Stooges weren't exactly my cup of tea but once in awhile, for nostalgia, I'll watch an episode or two. Maybe I just need to hear my dad laughing again, even if he's not here.
I have to be in a very silly mood to enjoy the Three Stooges...which happens every now and again. I think they are best in limited doses. That's probably why I enjoy the shorts more than their full-length movies. Thanks for sharing, Emily!
@@JP5466 Or, stay with me here, women can be just as entertained with different genres of comedy without it having absolutely anything to do with "their man".
We know there were six members of the Three Stooges. Joe Besser, who replaced Shemp (who in turn replaced Curly, who had taken Shemp's place when the Stooges were still a stage act), may have his critics to this day but I think he was a nice asset to the trio, as he had been an established comedian before joining the pack. Later in life, Besser expressed some dismay that people only recognized him for his brief tenure with the Three Stooges. However, he eventually softened, realizing that the Stooges continued to bring him his greatest exposure. Whereas with Curly Joe DeRita, although he loved working with Moe and Larry and made a living doing it for 12 years, he was not a fan of the Stooges' humor. He once said in an interview, "I don't think the Stooges were funny. I'm not putting you on, I'm telling the truth-they were physical, but they just didn't have any humor about them. Take, for instance, Laurel and Hardy. I can watch their films and I still laugh at them and maybe I've seen them four or five times before. But when I see that pie or seltzer bottle, I know that it's not just lying around for no reason. It's going to be used for something."
Pryce: Did you that Shemp was actually one of the original Stooges? Yup, he started out with Moe and Larry before Curly joined. Sheep left to do non-Stooges comedy films pretty quickly and only then did Curly join in.
Well, according to film critic and Stooge fan Leonard Malten Bonnie Bonelle (spelling?) was a stoogette the only female Stooge. Then after Larry died Moe hired actor last name Sedka (spelling?) you know the one who says, "Hold hands you love birds" in Brideless Groom to be a Stooge but soon died shortly after.
@@MrEsMysteriesMagicks I knew that Shemp was one of the original stooges. I mentioned above that Curly replaced Shemp in vaudeville while Shemp replaced Curly on film.
@@henryscafe8364 Emil Sitka was considered to replace Larry around 1975 (sometime after Larry's death), and even took some publicity pictures with Moe and Curly Joe, but this lineup never materialized. Sitka passed away in 1998 at the age of 83.
Also just want to say that my favorite stooges gag is when one of them hurts their foot and starts hopping up n down on one leg, then the other two come in clapping and dancing like it's a performance 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I remember a variation of that in "Pest Man Wins", when a Stooge drops a mouse or ants down someone's back, and when the person starts wiggling, the Stooges clapped & danced along.
I really enjoyed your video. It feels like I am connecting with an old friend. Your Narrative is on the spot, top notch. I salute you for your professionalism. discipline, and dedication to Pop Culture. Thank you for all that you do. This video really made my day. Bravo! Amigo!
Was just sharing that, the Adam West Batman was my favorite BATMAN to my 15 year-old son. Wow, thanks for the Connection to the STOOGES! Thanks Again, See Ya Reel Soon, Same Sundstrom Time, Same Sundstrom Channel!
Any Three Stooges content you want to put up would be great! Use to watch them with my grandpa who would see the original reel to reels at the theater when he was a boy. My absolute favorites!! Thanks for work put into this video Dave!! Peace from Pennsylvania ✌
A local Cinema where I grew up sometimes showed Stooges Shorts before their Saturday Kid's Matinees. That's the only time I've seen them on the Big Screen! Thanks for the Fun facts Dave!
Larry, Moe and Curly Joe made a cameo appearance in the 1964 feature film, 4 For Texas. And there'd be no way I could be around the Stooges and keep a straight face.
As a kid I don't recall seeing any Three Stooges movie but I knew of them. Heck, maybe I did saw a few but I just don't remember. When my son was a kid, early 2000's he used to watch them on tv, I think it was Nickelodeon. I got to enjoy them with him. He watched a lot of old shows like Zorro, The Munsters, The Adam's Family, Happy Days, etc.
Dave, Kooks Tour may have been the finale Three Stooges film released in 1969-70 but we nearly got another film with then surviving Stooges titled Blazing Stewardesses in 1975. But sadly Moe Howard was too ill to perform and had to decline as well as his brothers. Yvonne De Carlo best known as Lily Munster was also in the film!🤔🤗😢📽
This is how old I am. I saw The Outlaws Is Coming at the theaters in it's full glorious Black And White back in 1965. Of course I had no idea who Adam West was at the time, as you know Batman didn't air until 1966. Interesting seeing him play a straight role. I almost forgot about this movie. Of course as a kid I was drawn to The Three Stooges, as an adult, not so much. My favorite comedy duo is now Abott and Costello and their clever dialog. Hmmmm....they have had Abott and Costello meet Frankenstien, the Killer Boris Kaloff and even Captain Kidd. What do you think? Abbott And Costello meet Batman. 🦇😉 Unfortunately Lou Costello passed away, in 1959, but it would still have been hilarious. (Holy whose on first, Batman!) Thank you Dave for the upload, my friend. 👍👍👍
Hey Dave, Did you know that Moe visited the Mike Douglas show three different times in the early 70s…(once in a pie fight with Soupy Sales…) If you called Larry at the Woodland Hills actor’s home, He not only would chat with you but would volunteer Moe’s home phone number. If you caught Moe in a good mood, he’d invite you for a visit! Great Video DS!
There was one moment in Batman that is firmly etched in my memory… King Tut was convinced that under ‘Stately Wayne Manor’ was a vault filled with gold. So King Tut hires a mining engineer to tunnel under Wayne’s house to get at that gold! Soon Bats and Robin pull up to where King Tut has his digging operation when the mining engineer runs out and cowers in front of the Dynamic Duo, yelling “…I’m innocent I tell ya, innocent!….” Without batting an eye, Batman says to Robin “….we must let this man go, Robin, as you can see he’s an innocent miner…..” Talk about a great line!
Never knew this about Adam West. Batman was so good as a kid watching for first time and now as a an adult the campy humor is just so funny. I also enjoyed watching reruns on local tv of 3 Stooges it’s just classic escapist humor from all that going on around us. Thanks for this insight
I grew up on The Three Stooges and they can still make me laugh. I also loved Batman. Very interesting how Adam West was in a Three Stioges movie! Thanks for the tip because now I'm heading over to RUclips to watch The Outlaws is Coming. 🙂
Adam West was the Buster Keaton of Batman versions. Strait laced never cracked a smile while delivering non serious lines meant to seem serious. While Robin was the other way around.
Adam West was good as the deadpan straight man, but I think at his peak Leslie Nielsen was better. In the Naked Gun movies he got a bit silly, but in "Airplane" and the short lived "Police Squad" TV show, he was amazing.
I would not leave for school in the morning until I saw the last three stooges short. And there would be a price to pay, I would have to run the first two blocks, so I wouldn't be late for school. The benefit was my elementary school was just 4/12 blocks away and I was a pretty good Runner. Later they change the time that the three stooges will come on the local Morning Show and I didn't have to worry about taking that morning run again to school. I can still hear my mother saying oh, how she couldn't understand why I found them so funny and I will simply say because Mom they're funny...Lol
I love the three stooges they were very classy their comedy was great they were hilarious Dave I didn't know they helped out Adam West become the great Batman never knew there was a three stooges and Batman connection awesome I love that episode as well where Batman and joker were out surfing each other great classic episode never saw that three stooges movie with Adam West cool thanks for sharing all the news updates and info cool never saw Adam West with the stooges he became the greatest classic Batman great video Dave thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@jdsundstrom Dave and Cade wouldn't it be great if we got a Batman movie loosely based on the 60's tv series? I'm surprised no one has thought of this? Since 1989 the Batman movies have all been mostly well dark and serious. Would be nice if we could get something a bit more comical with some satire? I thought Will Ferrell as Batman but he's up there in age? Basically Austin Powers Meets Batman LOL!?🦇🌆🤓🤔
Holy nyuck nyuck nyuck! Cool facts, Dave! I love all the Stooges! Shemp is the underrated comic genius. I have all The Three Stooges on DVD including all their feature films. The Three Stooges brought laughter to my young grand nephew during the two difficult years he spent at Saint Judes. I’m happy to report he is cancer free.
At 2:58 I can see how much Adam West towered over the Stooges. He was well over 6 feet tall, and they weren't any taller than 5'6". That's why they were shorter than a lot of their leading ladies too. You're right that the straight man role must be played totally straight to be funny.
My dad and I used to watch the Stooges together after he came home from work. A local kids' cartoon show would feature the Stooges and we both loved them and would laugh till we cried. I never saw this movie but I did know that West was in it. And for the record, nobody could have done what West did with the role. He was PERFECT for that version of Batman. I loved Christian Bale's Dark Knight but when it comes to feel good entertainment, the West is the best! PS Now I could have done without "The Robonic Stooges"...
I'm kind of surprised you didn't mention the popularity of the original Stooges shorts on Saturday morning TV back in the 50s and 60s. They were a staple because stations didn't have to pay royalties so they were cheap programming. As a result, a whole new generation of kids discovered the Stooges and they experienced a new wave of popularity. It's been said that the attraction of kids to the Stooges, particularly in those days, was that the kids saw Moe, Larry, Curly, and Shemp doing in live action the kinds of things they ordinarily only saw in cartoons.
Mr. E's Mysteries & Magicks There was also a Saturday Morning cartoon of The Little Rascals that aired from 1982 to 1984! The cartoon was produced by Hannah Barbera. 🤗🙏👍🐶
Adam West is the best Batman. It's a tragic loss that he never got to be in one of the later movies as a dark, serious batman. That would have been great.
@@jdsundstrom As I just mentioned Dave I'd like to see a movie based on the original 60's tv series down to the costumes, satire and humor! Batman Meets Austin Powers?!🤓🦇🌆📽
Adam West did the absolute best with what he had to work with. Budget wise, writing wise, and studio wise, Adam West was better than the material! With today's budget and special effects, Batman, played by Adam West, would still be brilliant! Campy or straight, Adam West could do it all! RIP Adam West! Forever the best Batman!
I remember seeing some of the Three Stooges films. Have you seen The Three Stooges movies? There were two that I know about, one in 2000 and one in 2012. I have not seen either one.
Lyle Waggoner as Batman? Not a chance. That's like casting Tom Poston in the role of Maxwell Smart instead of Don Adams. Adams made it work, and Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon) would not have been as adoring of him like she was Don. Poston DID make an appearance in a season four episode, Shock It To Me as Dr. Erich Zharko.
My rating for Adam West is about middle of the road... below Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck and the newest Robert Pattenson but way above Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Lewis Wilson (1943)
Is that Joe Besser @1:38, Dave? You showed stills of Larry, Curly, Moe (of course), Curly-Joe and even Joe Besser. What about Shemp? Is Shemp chopped liver to you? (j/k) It's awesome Curly-Joe DeRita chose to have his headstone engraved with his Stooge identity. I just checked Find-A-Grave, as of this writing, and not even Curly has such a headstone. Curly is laid to rest under his given name Jerome Howard (anglicized from Horwitz).
The outlaws is coming is my favorite stooges movie because of Adam being in it and the Batman the series and movie to me are masterpieces of television and cinema cause I have a blue-ray box set of the series and and standard definition and blue-ray cop of the movie I already new about Lyle Wagner screen testing for the series but him and his Robin didn’t have the chemistry Adam and Burt do I have seen the actual screen tests for both Adam and Lyle on RUclips a few times over the years
I don’t remember The Outlaws Is Coming but I really remember liking The Three Stooges Meet Hercules. Then there’s the one were they go to Venus ( I think) and bring back a unicorn. Of course, the Venusian unicorn, having no natural predators on earth has led to many of the unicorn problems we have today, especially in Australia, but I’m sure they meant well.
The Stooges had more talent in their little pinky than he ever had.Couldn't act his way out of a cardboard box.Series was meant for the 60's,camp value.Nice gadgets but not much more.Didn't care for it when I was growing up.Star trek,Green hornet and Lost in space,along with Time tunnel, Gilligan's island,Munsters ruled
All of the shows you mentioned were great as well. But...c'mon Jaime! Dissing the legendary and much beloved Adam West? Time has been incredibly kind to his memory. 🙂
I loved the 3 Stooges, even the movies. I'm a huge fan of physical comedy, like slapstick as employed by the Stooges and of course, the British comedian, Benny Hill, all the way back to the Keystone Kops and Charlie Chaplin. It is interesting to compare Adam West playing it straight to the comic actors playing the Joker, Riddler, Penguin, etc., and then watching Burt Ward doing the same thing as Robin.

Totally agree!
Curly died on my birthday.
Is that Joe Besser @1:38, Dave? You showed stills of Larry, Curly, Moe (of course), Curly-Joe and even Joe Besser. What about Shemp? Is Shemp chopped liver to you? (j/k)
It's awesome Curly-Joe DeRita chose to have his headstone engraved with his Stooge identity. I just checked Find-A-Grave, as of this writing, and not even Curly has such a headstone. Curly is laid to rest under his given name Jerome Howard (anglicized from Horwitz).
I love Shemp as well! Someday, he'll get a video of his very own. 🙂
If only…OH! If only!!!!….The Stooges had been brought in as villains on Batman!!!!!
That would have been so awesome!
Another great video Dave, thanks so much. And you are sure right about the world going to pot.
Hello. Dave. Sandstorm. my. Name. Is. Lou. Costa. I. Enjoy. your. Show. God. Bless. you. Enjoy. Your. Day. From. D. J. Lou. Old. School. Classic.
Thanks 👍
Much like Sean Connery was James Bond and all the others played AS James Bond, Adam was Batman, everyone else is just playing him
He became Batman because of a Nestle commercial the producer saw.
Cool 😎👍 Dave
I'm glad you liked it!
The outlaws is coming is my favorite stooges movie because of Adam being in it and the Batman the series and movie to me are masterpieces of television and cinema cause I have a blue-ray box set of the series and and standard definition and blue-ray cop of the movie I already new about Lyle Wagner screen testing for the series but him and his Robin didn’t have the chemistry Adam and Burt do I have seen the actual screen tests for both Adam and Lyle on RUclips a few times over the years
Thanks for sharing, my friend!
Very cool 😎😎😎😎😎
Thanks Tracy!
H i. Dave. Sundstrom. I. Love. Love. the. three. Stooges. boy. Do. I. Love. Them.
I don’t remember The Outlaws Is Coming but I really remember liking The Three Stooges Meet Hercules.
Then there’s the one were they go to Venus ( I think) and bring back a unicorn. Of course, the Venusian unicorn, having no natural predators on earth has led to many of the unicorn problems we have today, especially in Australia, but I’m sure they meant well.
The Stooges had more talent in their little pinky than he ever had.Couldn't act his way out of a cardboard box.Series was meant for the 60's,camp value.Nice gadgets but not much more.Didn't care for it when I was growing up.Star trek,Green hornet and Lost in space,along with Time tunnel, Gilligan's island,Munsters ruled
All of the shows you mentioned were great as well. But...c'mon Jaime! Dissing the legendary and much beloved Adam West? Time has been incredibly kind to his memory. 🙂
🙂
I loved the 3 Stooges, even the movies. I'm a huge fan of physical comedy, like slapstick as employed by the Stooges and of course, the British comedian, Benny Hill, all the way back to the Keystone Kops and Charlie Chaplin. It is interesting to compare Adam West playing it straight to the comic actors playing the Joker, Riddler, Penguin, etc., and then watching Burt Ward doing the same thing as Robin.
The world has gone to pot, literally and figuratively. 😒
Curly Joe was the worst Three Stooge. He was just awful.
I liked them all. 🙂
@@jdsundstrom To each his/her own. There was no timing with him in the mix.
Loved those Three Stooges cartoons Dave. Thanks for mentioning it. Never saw the movie with Adam West.
