Legendary comedy act featuring three bumbling fools who find themselves in outrageous predicaments and take out their frustrations on one another violently.
CAST
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… 😂

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. 😂
