Stoogehistory

Here’s a great piece of Stooge history:

The idea for Hoi Polloi reportedly came from Moe Howard’s wife, Helen Howard!

And the Stooges liked the premise so much that they returned to it twice — with Half-Wits Holiday in 1947 and Pies and Guys in 1958.

Behind every great knucklehead… 😂

On this day 91 years ago, Hoi Polloi was released! 🎬

Moe, Larry & Curly are garbage men chosen for a $10,000 experiment: can three ordinary knuckleheads be transformed into proper gentlemen through education and high-society training?

Etiquette lessons, dancing, a runaway bee and one disastrous society party later…

The answer is pretty clear. 😂

And yes…

Sunev is “Venus” spelled backwards. 😂
