The Three Stooges Trivia

From Quiz So Long Mr. Chumps

Answer: Street cleaners

As the story opens we see the boys sweeping the streets in white uniforms. They end up bashing each other with their brooms. "So Long Mr. Chumps" is a deliberate parody of the Oscar-nominated film "Goodbye, Mr. Chips", which was popular at the time. It is the 59th feature the Three Stooges made. The boys are census takers in "No Census No Feeling". They are both carpenters and pharmacists in "Pardon My Scotch". "So Long Mr. Chumps" was originally released on February 7, 1941.

From Quiz The Three Stooges "Pardon my Scotch"

Answer: Carpenters

The Three Stooges are carpenters who are installing a door on the second floor of a pharmacy. "Pardon My Scotch" is the first Stooge episode to employ "Listen to the Mockingbird" as their official theme song. It would continue to be used until 1939. The Stooges use the famous tool gag for the first time in this episode.

From Quiz The Three Stooges "Three Little Pirates"

Answer: Sailors

They are sailors from "Garbage Scow 188" who become stranded on Dead Man's Island. The island's governor remarks how that is an odd name for a vessel. This short was made in December, 1946. It was the last "Three Stooges" episode in which Curly Howard was involved in the entire production. He was left out of the final scenes of the next Stooges project, "Half-Wits Holiday", after he suffered a debilitating stroke.

'Gold Raiders' was released in 1951. The Stooges starred in this movie along with George O'Brien. O'Brien played an insurance salesman who cleaned up the western town of Red Mesa to make it safe for miners. The Stooges played cowboys who helped O'Brien throughout the film. Shemp was also in 'Soup To Nuts', but they were not yet the Three Stooges. They were still Ted Healy's Stooges.

Answer: Gail Tempest

Her name is typical of character names in the Stooges series. Harry Thaw murdered architect Stanford White when he found out he had an affair with his wife Evelyn Nesbit, but he was sentenced to life in an asylum. Borden was acquitted of killing her parents. H.H. Holmes was the alias of mass murderer Herbert Mudgett, who was executed for his crimes. Suzanne Kaaren played Gail (uncredited).

Cedric was played by Jock Mahoney (billed as Jacques O'Mahoney, his real name), who played Tarzan in several movies in the 60s, but was best known as a stuntman. He was the stepfather of Sally Field.

Answer: A wad of paper

When he becomes frustrated at having his papers blown around he twists one of the papers up and puts it in the tailpipe. Of course it flies out and hits him when the engine is revved.

Whenever he got stuck he would improvise some nonsense that was usually kept in the film.
