Great Stooge Classics, June 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Three Stooges: Nyuks X 10 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the ultimate package for Stooge fans. It contains all the classic stooge films in their uncut versions. It is a must collection for everyone that even remotely likes the Stooges and the number one gift for a true Stooge maniac. I received this as a gift, and I have spent many hours watching and rewatching the videos. You will not be disappointed with the selection of videos. Most of them are with Curly and a few with Shemp. Must buy, five star selection.

THE YOKE'S HIGHER THAN US DOUGH BOYS, July 3, 2001
THE YOKE'S ON ME (1944) - A very controversial short. This short is very rarely shown on TV because of the racial overtones of the Japanese soldiers. However, that is a part of history. You just can't hide that! I think this short should be shown on TV, just as often as the other shorts are, and if the TV producers want to be careful, they should just air a disclaimer before the short, explaining the racial stereotypes, and how we were at war with the Japanese at the time.
As for the quality of the short itself, it's not that great. It's pretty slow-paced for a Curly short, and aside from Curly's fandance, there's nothing special or that funny. But I think the banning of this short is ridiculous.
NO DOUGH BOYS (1944) - A funny and interesting short, since the boys are dressed as Japanese soldiers for the entire short. The boys do great jobs and I love the wild acrobatic scenes. Surprised the PC police didn't pull this short along with THE YOKE'S ON ME, due to the Japanese stereotypes.
HIGHER THAN A KITE (1943) - Great short. The first half basically deals with Moe getting his head stuck in a pipe, and Larry and Curly trying many ways to get him out, but the scene is a masterpiece. Hilarious. The second half is great, too, like when Larry dresses up as "Moronica" and swoons Marshal Borring.
Like the THEY STOOGE TO CONGA video, this is an all WWII tape.

Three of their funniest shorts., July 6, 2000
This stooge video has the shorts "The Yoke's on Me","No Dough Boys" and "Higher Than A Kite."
All 3 are very funny but my favorite in this video is "Higher Than A Kite."
After messing up in the motorpool, the stooges go into a sewerpipe to escape. Actually, it's not a sewerpipe at all.(That's what the stooges think). It's really a blockbuster bomb that is headed towards Germany!
