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 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.

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!

This is without a doubt The Best of all of The Three Stooges short film subjects ever made.The Laughs really most especially pick up in the 2nd half after The Stooges land in Germany starting with Curly throwing a grenade out the window and thusly upon its explosion The Nazi's get stripped down to their white long undies with the black Swastikas on their backs,The "Checkers Game of which in conclusion Curly tells Moe "Crown me.",then he does and the Nazis later find The 28th Division in The Red Sea.The slapping around,Then Larry as his most hysterical that he's ever been as "Moronica" incognito.The Hitler Picture on Curly of which He gets to use against The Nazi's so that Moe and Larry can K.O. them and then in the end When Curly See's The US Marines Dog and shows him The Picture without realizing what his over coat says and then The Dog bites him and stays attached to him with the Car taking off without him and he chases it with the Dog attached to him.Also Please do check this and all movies out here on amazon.com,The ImBd sites and You Tube as well

These three shorts were my very first glimpse into the world of the Stooges. I laughed myself silly on all three of these, and I watched it almost every day I had it out of the video rental place. If you want to laugh, get these three!

THE YOKE'S ON ME is a terrible short. This is being too mean to the Japanese. Yes, they were mean at the time, but no reason to rub it in. This short is not shown on TV because of that. I don't see why it shouldn't be on TV. I don't like the short, but no reason to not show it on TV.

NO DOUGH, BOYS is another bad short. This shouldn't be on TV for the same reason as THE YOKE'S ON ME. Once again, a put-down for the Japanese.

I actually like HIGHER THAN A KITE because it's not about the Japanese and not all about World War II. The scene where Moe and Curly play checkers on the world globe is priceless.

This just might be the worst Three Stooges tape.
