At one point, Larry beats his chest and gives a Tarzan yell for no apparent
reason. What's going on?

Later, when his violin gets smashed, the voice track has him saying "My
Stradivarius! Oh, my beautiful Stradivarius!", but he's obviously actually
saying something else. Anyone know what?

Curly had carelessly tossed his chewing gum (after the Judge told him to stop
chewing it) onto Moe's nose and Larry had just finished very carefully
removing it -- I guess Larry was just celebrating that fact for all to hear.

I've wondered about that myself and finally decided he was just being a Stooge.
To me, it's funnier - really funny, if you think he's doing it out of Stoogedom
and for no reason.

I'm not sure about this, but didn't the Tarzan movies first
come out at about the same time? Maybe it made more sense
if the number 1 picture in the country was Tarzan when
Larry was doing this.

I believe that was immediately after he snuck up on the gum on Moe's
nose, stomped on it, and then did the yell. And probably for no other
reason than to be a stooge.

BTW: One of my favorite epsiodes.

Actually, it was right after Larry's bow snagged the rug off the court reporter
and thought it was a terrana, a tarrang, a tareng, a big spider which he
stomped on. The yell was that of a triumph hunter over his prey.

Yep, it was after the gum. Hey, wanna talk about luck; I hit
a garage sale last weekend and found someone selling all of
his Stooge stuff. 7 tapes with un-cut episodes AND a mint
1990 Stooge calander for 20 bucks. Needless to say, I'm
having an all-night stooge fest this Saturday. Nuck, nuck.

From what I've heard, Larry totally improvised his Tarzan routine for no
real reason, just a spur of the moment Stooge thing!!

If memory serves (its been a while since viewing DITC), I think Larry's
Tarzan yell is a prelude to his attack on the lawyer's hairpiece -
the way a gorilla beats his chest as a form of aggression.
But again, I may be wrong (as I usually am!)

I don't know what got into him, but that is my all-time favorite
stooge moment.

my fave stooge moment... from men in black: 'geez, de joint's haunted.'

I think Larry Fine is doing the very first "Iron Man" yell! And WAY ahead
of his time, too!

What happens is that Larry is so proud of removing the bubble gum gum
from Moe's nose, he goes nuts and yellsg...@nevada.edu (DAVE
