Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk - Another Trailer For THE THREE STOOGES Pokes You In The Eye!!

I'll pass on this film. This looks godawful.

Or maybe Hunger Games!

..releasing the film now? It looks like they've shown what they'll consider "the good parts" already.

...it's a decent enough trailer!

every single eye poke and nyuk nyuk in the trailer? They blew the whole inventory in 2 minutes.

For some reason that gag always gets a chuckle out of me. There's not much redeeming in this trailer. I did love Sean Hayes falsetto at the end there. That made me laugh. I'll just go watch the old shows. More gold there anyway, to be sure. Favorite TS line. Moe, Larry and Curly are sleeping in a bed and Curly is snoring. Moe slaps him on the head and says. "Hey you! Wake up and go to sleep!" I don't know why, but, when I first saw that bit, I laughed till I cried.

says the frowny faced robot...

CANT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE.

otherwise it wont "feel" the same.

.....:48 to 1:02 made me laugh

It seems a bit like Blues Brothers 2000 but much much worse

Damn what's wrong with me?

I'm a sucker for Stooge type slapstick humor if it's done well. And from what I've seen, this will be. I loved The Three Stooges as a kid and this looks live a loving, affectionate update. I'm going to check it out.

Friend of mine saw this over here (the UK) as part of audience testing. It was free, and he still walked out after 20 mins. And he will watch paint dry if it doesnt cost him anything..he is tighter than a duck's arse.

As a huge fan of the classic stooges, I really don't know what to feel. Agree with what's written in the article, is there any footage left that hasn't been shown in the trailer/tv spots??

That being said, kids will probably enjoy it.

Vergara.

I hate to burst you collective nay-sayers' bubbles, but this is going to do big business at the box office. Huge, even. I'm not saying that's good or right, but it is a fact. You get one 6 year old to see this, he goes and tells all the boys in his kindergarten class how funny it is, and they all insist that their parents bring them. Said parents are familiar enough with the Stooges that they will have no problem taking their kids, for sake of curiosity if nothing else. It worked with the god-awful Yogi Bear, it worked with the slightly-less godawful scooby doo movies, and it will work here. Guaranteed.

Please, God, no, just make it stop!!!

And I forgot to mention that in my first post. The Smurfs was dogshit, but it did have Sofia...

Really excellent smacks, pokes, crunches, and wacks. Count me in. Rather see it than another Depp fag-fest with Dark Shadows.

Apparently not. Still, I'm really curious to see how this does.

and I laughed my ASS OFF! Has did everyone else. Everybody was rolling, and I swear, the shit they do to Larry David (he plays a nun). They split it up into shorts, like the originals, which I thought was a good idea.Hopefully they'll keep it that way. At least that what I wrote on my card. Some of you younger knuckleheads (pun intended) need to watch some stooges. Classic. The Farrellys did an excellent job. very true the stooges, and casting was spot on! Thank god, Penn, Carey and I forgot who else didn't do this. I hope it does well, it's a stupid ass movie, that's a riot! But that's what it was suppose to be. So to all those who think this might be too low brow for you... eat shit and die and wait for Hangover 3 or Project X pt 2 to come out. I watching the Stooges!

That guy is a way more versatile actor than I originally took him for. Its probably because I detested "Will & Grace" and his character got old really fast.

At the bit where the bell falls off and strikes the nun. Larry: "Is that Sister (whateverhernameis)?" Curly: "I don't know but, the face rings a bell." I chuckled just typing that. I'm an idiot.

Time is so fleeting...

saw the first trailer a while back and couldnt get over the fact Larry David is playing a Nun in this bag of dicks cinema

Have to admit, they got the tone and silliness of the original trio down. When I was a kid in the 70s-80s I loved watching those old black and white shows. I don't know what you naysayers expect considering the source material... seriously it's the goddamn Three Stooges.

I "know" that both trailers looks terrible, but they made me laugh twice now. I will probably give this a go April 13, despite my misgivings. There is something about the Stooges that is timeless, and I have a hunch that the Farrelly Brothers have tapped into it at some level.

..to my 11 year old son about the Three Stooges, after seeing 21 Jump Street on Sunday, and the TS preview was on beforehand. He did not immediately dismiss it as 'stupid' just from the previews like he does with some other movies, but he really didn't know what to think of it either, because he has never really seen any of the TS films or shorts. I watched them a ton growing up, so I am well-familiar with them, and trying to explain them to someone with no clue, well, that was a difficult proposition. The closest I was able to come was in reminding him of Hugo, when they were showing the very early days of making movies, and that the Three Stooges came along very shortly after those days, while that sot of thing was still very new, and at that time, people just were beside themselves for insane over-the-top slapstick humor. I didn't bother trying to explain Vaudeville, maybe when he's older. But it did make me want to dig up my old TS collection and make him watch it with me, just so he gets a good education in what they did. And so I ask you, cynics and everyone else: If you were going to take a frankly beloved historical film memory like the Three Stooges, and make a modern homage, a new movie as a loving tribute (which I hope to God is what this thing is going to be), then how ELSE would you have done it? Maybe it will actually be decent? Is that even possible? Or are we just automatically cynical and dismissive even when people make something with their hearts in the right place? Still, I told him I doubt we will bother seeing it in the theaters, but would likely grab it from the Redbox when it comes out, probably very soon.

refuses to go out on a limb for a comedy like the stooges. Everyone of these trailers has made me bust out laughing.

Stupid people who don't know who the stooges are will see the trailers and think it's a horror/comedy or some movie about religion. Who knows. But if they just showed 30 seconds of the stooges hitting each other, it might get some asses in the seats. The Farrelly Brothers need a hit badly. The Heartbreak Kid bombed. Hall Pass bombtankThis movie is going to tank. They better get the Dumb and Dumber sequel worked out cause they need a hit badly.

As a Stooges fan, both the trailers I've seen have hit all the right notes for me. It looks like they actually did build a movie around all the classic Stooges gags. I can't say if it'll really be good, but the trailers have far exceeded my expectations. When I heard the Farrelly brothers were doing the Stooges I thought it sounded all wrong, but the trailers are showing me something put together by someone with love for the original material. I'm willing to give it a chance. And if, as someone else suggested, it can be to the original Stooges what Brain Donors was to the Marx Brothers, I'm prepared to love it.

Count me interested.

the real stooges. That was kind of uncanny, for a second I forgot I was supposed to be disdainful of these imitators, and just saw "the Stooges." Uncanny, yes. Seemingly as funny as the real guys, yes. A major film release, eh. If some "lost footage" of the original stooges was discovered, I dont think Id go pay to watch it in on a big screen, either. Id just wait for it to hit the stooge marathon (on after kung fu theater)

I got tired of all the old stooges reruns and so I don't understand why these trailers are soooo darn funny. I love Sasso, I love the old stuff looking new, I will definitely spend money to see this!!

in simple words...SUCK ASS! They're going to blow this one just like they did with The A-Team last year. Btw- The A-Team was the best action movie in 10 years! Love that fuckin' movie! Too bad I won't get a sequel.

The only ones that want to see this more than my 9 and 7 year old kids are their grandfathers (in their 60's and 70's!) I think it'll be a big hit.

Do you actually find anything amusing at all? Jesus, i don't think you've a good word to say about any comedy since you've become more prevalent on the site. Come on man, crack us a smile would you?

they shoulda shot it in black and white.

I don't know why, but I have a feeling that this will do well. There's nothing else out there like it.

...just couldn't get into it but...dammit, I had this stupid grin on my face watching the trailer. Looks like they nailed the look and the feel but with an update...and without Jews! That's gotta be wrong somehow. Having said that, the too-cool-for-this-shit crowd here at AICN will skip it..no biggie, but I agree with somerichs. This is gonna do boffo box office. Cuz of little kids who will laugh at all the goofy, stupid shit happening on the screen...kinda like kids did 80+ years ago...holy shit....80+ years ago...the mind boggles.

They haven't done anything worth watching in years. They peaked early and it's been a slow, steady decline since. From the look of this flick, they are about to join another couple of siblings who make unwatchable comedies and have lost all their Hollywood juice...the Wayans brothers.

Sofia Vergara = hubba hubba

Today is Zero desire Day... This looks like crap... maybe 20 years ago this was a good idea, but now... not likely

I think the Farrellys are smart to duplicate the simple camera setups that the Stooges used. But the most successful attempt to film actual slapstick lately has got to be the Pink Panther series, with the brilliant Peter Sellers and Blake Edwards. And that was how long ago?

yep

But I have to say that lobster gag had me laughing out loud. Count me interested for sure. Sometimes it's good to just see people falling down and getting hit in the face/balls.

http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/1291275/michael_winslow_the_new_police_academy_film_shaquille_oneal_as_hightower.html

guarantees I will never watch it. EVER.

Ranked from Most Enjoyable to Least Enjoyable. 1, Marx Brothers. 2. Little Rascals. 3. Laurel and Hardy. 4. Jerry Lewis (solo). A controversial choice, but the judges stand by it. And they're not even French. 5. Bob Hope (solo) 6. Abbott and Costello. 7. Hope and Crosby 8. Martin and Lewis 9. Don Knotts. 10. Three Stooges. These are not opinions, these are incontrovertible facts. You may not agree with them, but that is because you are wrong. And so is your face.

Looks effin amazing.

you can't update the Three Stooges

Totally didn't see them in the trailer. They're in it, right?

Brain Donors For Love or Mummy 3 Stooges

Really the only thing I have a HUGE problem with is the cast of Jersey Shore being in this. AbSOlutely no need for that shit!

That said, I'm waiting until DVD.

Almost totally off topic, but Foley artists are the only group of people in America who haven't caught on to the fact that COMPUTERS DON'T MAKE NOISE when they perform functions, at least not the beeps and boops that you hear every time a computer "finds a match" on a CSI show (or any similar scenario). That sort of creative license with technology is so hacky, yet so ubiquitous, it's depressing. It's the 99 cent pricing of the movie world.

Please make something new.

This is gonna be a helluva guilty pleasure. I agree with a previous post—every time I see the trailer I laugh...and that's all I am expecting to do for 90 minutes or more. I can't wait to see this movie. The fact they actually have me forgetting this isn't Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard is friggin' amazing in itself.

Thank GOD they dropped the idea of Jim Carrey, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro and went with semi-unknowns...these guys look like they've done their homework in replicating the physical mannerisms and vocal inflections of Moe, Larry & Curly. And I've never really outgrown the Stooges' brand of humor.

But that trailer made me laugh.

I'm sorry but I will be there opening day. I know it will be lousy but I keep laughing every time I see the pretty remarkable impressions of the Stooges. I have a feeling it will join Brain Donors as one of my favorite guilty pleasures.

...damn, those actors really deserve praise for nailing the characters so perfectly, it's just heartwarming watching them go.

The judges had ruled that The Little Rascals was the second most enjoyable classic movie comedy property in perpetual rotation in the 1970s. But after a petition was filed by interests representing Laurel and Hardy, the matter was re-adjudicated, and the list has been revised as follows: 2. *PRE-ALFALFA* Little Rascals 9. *POST-ALFALFA* Little Rascals 10. Don Knotts. 11. The Three Stooges. There. What was perfect has now been made perfecter.

what do you mean sound effects? aren't those real?

It will probably be terrible, but I just can't help it, I feel the need to see this.

I can see some similarities, but Brain Donors had more in common with the Marx Bros than it did the Three Stooges, and even then it wasn't trying to BE the Marx Bros, only something along similar lines. John Turrturro was definitely a dirtier guy than Groucho...well, maybe just a little. As for this flick...eh, they have the slapstick and everything down, but it just feels a little off. It's not the Three Stooges, it's just a bunch of imitators and impersonators. You can't update those chowderheads because those chowderheads are gone and nothing can replace them.

...and does a mean impersonation of Curly. Jus' saying. Not sure if he'll like this. Even he recognises Moe Howard was nothing short of an irreplaceable comedy genius.

A Saturday afternoon staple. This doesn't interest me, but I'm sure I'll watch on Netflix later in the year.

every once and a while you need to see a full out physical comedy. sure this will probably have a buttload of weakness, but that will be balanced out with another buttload of strong belly laughing punches, falls, kicks, swats, pokes and blocks. Count me'yin

you can nyuck nyuck that to the stupid bank.

So very very high.

I love the Three Stooges, but I don't know how well their brand of comedy will hold up over the length of an entire movie; they're funnier in 15 - 30 minute bursts. They did seem to do a really good job with the casting, though.

but "who gives a shit about what the Brits think is funny" is not one of those things. You're talking about the country that gave us Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. and Ricky Gervais may not be your cup of tea (no pun intended), but you have to admit that him and Stephen Merchant make an excellent comedic writing team. In America, for every Carlin and C.K., there's 5 Larry the Cable Guys and Dane Cooks behind them. I'm sure Britain's the same way, but none of the shitty comics are good enough to make it overseas. And the good ones that do are doubly as funny, because everyone knows a British accent makes everything funnier. Imagine how much less funny John Oliver would be if he didn't have his accent. Just saying...

ur retarded. looks funny enough but i prolly won't get around to seeing it

Heard just yesterday that the "Cherry Poppin Daddies" will be covering "The Curly Shuffle" for the soundtrack. Can't wait!

Call me crazy, say I have a warped sense of quality- It'd all be true, but the Fat Boy's movie Disorderlies from the late-80's is hands down the best modern version of the Stooges. And I think it was unintentional. I love the stooges. Not so sure how this new flick is going to be. I think we just saw the best parts. I mean, after all, that's what we loved them for. And why they always made shorts.

Look for news articles dealing with Stooge-related incidents and injuries.

Definitely agree with that it is with out a doubt the closest thing that has or will come close to repeating the chemistry of the stooges. With the exception of a flat out re-make like this of course.

................I got nothin. It looks like flaming fucking dogshit.

The world deserves to end in 2012

First off, Larry doesn't hit Moe. If he does, it is accidental. That said, I laughed pretty hard at this and I'll go to see it. These guys did Dumb & Dumber which may be the funniest movie of all time, so I'm aboard. QUIET NUMBSKULLS, I'M BROADCASTING!

Through simple accumulation of gags and hijinks, it ultimately attains to a transcendental level of stoogeosity that threatens to reach a critical mass of cosmic proportions, like a beam of cosmic rays from a quasar poking a black hole in the eye at light speed.

I agree with most here, I, too, couldn't believe I laughed that much at a movie trailer. Looks like it might actually provide a few laughs. I probably wait till it comes to HBO, Showtime, etc., and watch it. That bell falling on the nun cracks me up every time!

SHOULD BE TREATED AS AN ENEMY COMBATANT AND LOCKED AWAY IN GITMO FOR THE REST OF THEIR NATURAL FUCKING LIVES!

BAH!

I wonder who's going to be playing Laurel and Hardy next year ?

...the three stools. Which is oddly appropriate, considering that you couldn't pay me to shit into newly-opened wounds on the bodies of everyone associated with the production of this.

Did I miss anything?

So true. They actually did do a lot of their own stunts until they got too old. Of course, it's not too hard to tell when a stuntman or a dummy was substituted for a Stooge.

The original Three Stooges wasn't high art and sure after watching the original stooges with my brother there were several eye injuries, but I can still see.. Kind of Its just stupid physical humor mindless escapism and I'll probably go see it and laugh my ass off.. I don't get why people get so upset by stupid fun. Its kind of like getting upset at the 80 year old man at the beach who is wearing black dress socks with his shorts, it may be wrong and out of touch with time, but who cares its makes me laugh!

BUT I did laugh and my 7 y/o nephew laughed when he saw the trailer for it attached to the Phantom Menance 3D release, so that's a selling point. I will take him to see it. I'm just glad its not another poisonous animated flick like Smurfs, Yogi Bear, Madagascar, SHRek or that junk ilk. Kid's comedies with balls is not a bad thing with our pussies kids today. The lobster down the pants, the wrestling gag made me laugh. Cant' help it. It's not Marx bros quality, but hey, what is these days... My only complaint, it should have been shot in black & white.

slighlty different from Stooges.

Something that is sorely lacking here! To anyone that openly states, "I never cared for/liked the 3 Stooges but this looks hilarious!" or any statement to that effect you are a complete moron! It makes no sense to say you enjoy the slapstick antics of this but not the antics of the original creators (not that the Stooges were the only ones) of this brand of juvenile comedy!? This is a faux 3 Stooges, nothing more but even less. The original Stooges can be and will never be recreated only cheaply imitated, as apparent in this debacle. At the very least the Farrely's could have used the concept of three stooges and had the actors come up with their own characterizations of those archetype but nope; Instead they just have Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos and Will Sasso mimic the original Stooges and even attempt to make look like them!?? Whether you like all the incarnations of the Stooges or not at least the "buffoon" archetype was always played differently; Shemp wasn't a copy of Curly, Curly wasn't a copy of Shemp and neither Joe DeRita nor Joe Besser was copying anyone else! Lastly one of the reasons you have eye candy like Kate Upton and Sofia Vergara is because the original Stooge shorts often featured beautiful women! Anyone spending dough to see this deserves to witness the horror and travesty that I know this movie will be....and they deserve a good eye pokin' to boot!

Over time I feel that the early short films of the Stooges have transcended the low-brow slapstick genre.

I was talking with my Gramps and he was telling me the Stooges actually were an outlet for the great depression. Many people were out of work and the "average joe could still afford a nickel and go to the pictures", The Stooges were meant to be an outlet for the normal guy trying hard to work for his family, so it took everyday working and recreation situations and made them absurd, usually putting Stooges at the center with their "angry innocence". It is one of the few snapshots we have left of the great depression. So, hmm maybe it is high art.

and it is indeed hilarious. entire audience was laughing. its a complete throw back but set in 2012, which is hard to do, but they pull it off. I was expecting junk and get gold, for the most part. Fun movie with alot of respect for the originals. darth_kaos, did you see this at Fox in LA too?

they do a horrible job of selling the flick. The trailers show just gags, and if you see 2 minutes of gags in a row, its just too much. its going to turn any one of us off. I hate, hate hate hate hate the commercials. they went for the 'sell to the lowest common denominator' bullshit, even using the blocky red font to signal the idiots. But this movie is NOT that. its a good 7/10. fun fun movie.

It'll probably flop in the theaters, but as someone who grew up watching the Stooges on Saturday morning in the '80s, count me as one of those who'll catch this on home video. I do think that, capitalizing on "The Artist," the movie ought to have been downcoverted to black and white.

I don't know about this movie being "gold"....gold plated maybe, but more likely just sh*t covered in gold spray paint! The only reason this movie may be "hilarious" in anyway is because it is ripping off the original(s), it isn't even an homage it is just a complete and utter rip off. Trailers may be TERRIBLE but sometimes (and in this case) they are just as terrible as the movie that the clips are derived from. Lastly I agree, unfortunately this dreck will probably find its audience but then again a lot of worthless-crap does.

Shut yer gobs an' just have FUN with a movie for once. I watched the Stooges as a kid, and laughed my ass off because I wasn't an ADD-riddled, self-important JACKASS who could appreciate slapstick. This movie looks to be perfectly casted, and I will likely laugh my ass off once again. Nyuk you.

..........so sue me!

its so funny that you forget about the pedestrian plot and you just become ten years old again. when a movie can do that to me, when isnt often, it gets a pass. my advice to you is to walk in there with your lowered expectations and just sit down. When it starts, stop critiquing and allow yourself to have fun. Trust me, as a fellow cynic, you will enjoy yourself. These trailers do a very, very poor job of selling the movie. There is absolutely no context to anything, and with no context, its not funny.

Stating that this is funny is like arguing that Gus Van Sant's Psycho is a great horror movie; Any moments of hilarity aren't genuine, they are recreated and copied from the people that did it better. I'll take my Psycho with Hitchcock, Perkins and Janet Lee and I'll take my Stooges with Moe/Shemp/Curly Howard and Larry Fine (and to a lesser extent Joe DeRita and Joe Besser)!

Life goes on. Let go and enjoy yourself. Cant be mad all the time. This shit is funny.

...but I'm on the fence on this one. The trailers don't encourage me much, though I've gotten a few good laffs out of 'em. Fingers crossed!

Am using caps lock?! :) And I state again people may say that this is "funny" but it is only because it completely rips off the original Stooges shorts, their act and even the characters, it isn't even a different take on it....it is just a lame copycat plain and simple.

So what? It still made me laugh. I don't examine funny, I just laugh at it.

Wow. Had no idea cunts like you still existed.

Folks, it was the same years ago.. either you loved The Three Stooges or you hated them. Won't be any different this time around. Growing up with the Stooges in re-runs in the 80's... I LOVED THEM and so did almost every kid I knew. Those that "got" that kind of sense of humor always seemed to be the coolest and funnest people to hang out with. Everyone else just seemed dull and boring. If you know the stooges then you know that they nailed it in these previews. I have watched each stooge individually in the previews and each one is spot on! This is going to be great for Stooge fans. I was worried, but now I'm looking forward to it. Like many others... I have a gut feeling this will be a successful movie. Different and nothing like it out there.

i loved em in the 80s, but i actually hated the trailers. loved the movie tho.
