4.0 out of 5 stars Review For Idiots De Luxe, December 23, 1999

By 

Iris Martin (Oak Park, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 3 Stooges: Idiots Deluxe [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Ya know, the only reason this tape isn't 5 stars is for the fact that there are even better ones than these classics. These are 3 of my FAVORITE episodes, but I just can't bring myself to saying it's top-notch stooges (Such as the movie "A Plumbing We Will Go)

The first episode, "I Can Hardly Wait", is, in my opinion...the funniest episode on the tape. It starts off with Larry, Moe, and Curly, as defense workers, coming home and making dinner. There are the usual antics while preparing the food, which are funny, but not even as close as to what happens next. Moe and Larry split a ham and an egg, and leave Curly with a full egg shell and a whole bone. (They make it sound as if their being generous to the poor guy.) Curly, being Curly, believes them and attempts to eat the bone, cracking his tooth. It all results in Curly moaning and groaning and keeping Moe and Larry from sleeping. They try several "home remedies" (Hilarious) but when they fail, they take him to the dentist. I'll leave the ending out, as to not to spoil the funny scene at the end. Fans, this video is almost worth the price just for this episode.

Next is "Idiots De Luxe" which is funny, I would say the 2'nd best. I remember seeing this short when I was very little, and loving it. Curly and Larry are prosecuting Moe in court for "attempted murder". It then goes back in the past, where Moe is a nervous wreck and Curly and Larry take him for a trip to the woods for peace and quiet. It ends up they have the company of a bear in their cabin, who eats their food and gives them all quite a scare. This is funny episode, and I especially like Larry in it, he seems to have more energy and has many more lines. Great episode!

Last is the worst episode on the tape, but still very amusing, "Idle Roomers". Moe, Larry, and Curly are hotel workers who, while cleaning a room, find a wearwolf-guy prowling around. The thing is, whenever this wearwolf-guy hears music, he goes crazy! (Of course he hears music more than once and goes totally crazy on the 3 guys) It's a very funny episode, but I didn't laugh out loud many times, if...at all.

All together, you HAVE to buy this tape. It's one of the few Columbia House videos of the Stooges that have all 3 episodes on it very good. (They try to spread all the GREAT episodes out on different tapes.) But for this one...all 3 are wonderful and it is DEFINETLY worth the price. Get this one now fans, and hurry! -Stooge Fan

5.0 out of 5 stars Words cannot describe these Stooge classics!, April 12, 1999

"I Can Hardly Wait" & "Idiots Deluxe" are the funniest of the three on this tape. I nearly cried at the first one, I was laughing so hard!

4.0 out of 5 stars An "I" tape., January 28, 2002

This review is from: 3 Stooges: Idiots Deluxe [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an interesting tape, because all three shorts begin with the letter "I". IDIOTS DELUXE, I CAN HARDLY WAIT, and IDLE ROOMERS. The best one is IDLE ROOMERS. The Stooges work at a hotel and let Lupe, the Wolf Man loose. Some great hijinks, including Lupe tearing up a trombone. IDIOTS DELUXE is another great short. Moe is a sick man, who is very funny. The bear driving a car is priceless. I wonder if Moe was really sick here. I CAN HARDLY WAIT is too painful for me to watch. I makes me afraid to see the dentist.

A good, "I" rated, tape.
