my favorite is "oh boy oh boy oh boy if theres anything i like better than
honey and ketchup its bologne and whip cream... and we havent got any." the
part i found funny wasnt the gross combinations. i thought it was that he
mentions it like hes gonna go get some and immediately says and we havent
got any.
>Now that weve covered shemp lines what are everyone's favorite moe lines?
There are so many to choose from, Moe was my favorite, but the one I always
think of first is "I said I'm sorry, so SHUT UP!" It isn't funny when reading
it, but in the scene it just perfectly condensed Moe's whole character into one
brief moment. I also find myself saying that all the time, (my wife loves
it..).
I agree, and the context is hilarous. Moe is chastizing Shemp (or Curly?) for
his clumsiness while pasting up wall paper. As he's doing this Moe pushes the
brush over Larry's face. "Oh, I'm sorry," he says in an affected tone. "Why
don't you watch what you're doing," complains an unimpressed Larry. The Moe
quotes the above line as he twirls the brush around so he can slam the wooden
part under Larry's chin.
My favorite Moe Lines are:
Quiet Numbskulls I'm broadcasting. (Can any of you guys tell me which short
this is from.
We ain't getting nowhere fast
Hey Porcupine c'mere (said to Larry at any time in any short
Of course the ever classic Line
SPREAD OUT!
Another fave Moe Line is one from the rare tape Jerks of all Trades(which I
found at Caldors) Also seen in The Three Stooges Festival tape
He says to Shemp"Do you think you can take a letter?"
Top which Shemp replies "I don't think I know."
And Moe shoots back "I don't think you know either, but go ahead. I almost fell
out of my seat
Why, you lamebrain...!:) "Quiet Numbskulls, I'm broadcasting" is from
"Micro-phonies."
Comes right before "Use Gritto, radio friends, to give your hands that dishpan
look. How will the old man know you've been working if your hands don't have
that dishpan look, hmmmm?" Ending with the immortal line: "Remember, Gritto
spelled sideways is "Otragar - nnng!" That being one of my favorite Moe lines.

This line is from MICRO PHONIES. Even funnier is Moe's phony
commercial and soap-opera lead-in.
Here are some of my favorites:
"Every time you think you weaken the nation."
"Why don't you get a toupee with some brains in it?"
"Quiet, or I'll tear your tonsils out an' tie 'em around your neck for
a bowtie." (Runner up: "I'll tear your esophagus out!")
"I oughta mash you like a potato."
"Well, we had to forget something, or we wouldn't be plumbers."
"Don't worry, boss. These things happen in the best of places."
"If there's anything I like better than honey and ketchup, it's
baloney and whipped cream. And we haven't got any."
"Five hundred dollars? Who do we have to murder?"
"What a joint. Reminds me of the reform school." [Oops!
That was Larry].

Oh YES!!! The "I don't think you know either" has always been my favorite!
So is "Spread out!" and "This is getting us nowhere fast!" So is the
"bologna and whip cream" line another poster listed!
Others of mine, that no one else has named yet would be:
(to either a hoodlum or some other tough customer) "Why I oughta..." [You
oughta WHAT?] (smiling meekly) "I oughta be more careful!" (Unless I'm
mistaken, nearly all the boys used that line at one time or another,
and always to great effect!
I also loved Moe's Hitler persona and the great line "We shall extend
our neighbors a helping hand. We shall extend our neighbors TWO
helping hands and help ourselves to our neighbors!"
I truly wish the Stooges would have made more Nazi spoofs. They 3
of them were SOOOO GOOD as Hitler, Goering & Goerbels! Moe,
especially, was PERFECT as Hitler!
Speaking of Spread Ouyt. Moe also says Recede! Does that mean the same as
Spread out or the opposite
"How about some ice cold hotcakes, smothered in vinegar?"

"At one time I wanted to save the planet! Now I'd just like to leave a
room with my dignity."
" Quiet titmouse!!" <slap>
"Quiet mongoose!!" <slap>
LARRY "We're trapped like rats!"
MOE "Speak for yourself!" <slap>
" You're in a court of law, not Clancy's pool hall." <slap>
" Here's twosees." <eye poke>
"Here's fivesees." <slap>
SHEMP "..and I'm pretty as a picture!"
MOE "Yeah, ..of an ape!" <slap>
and many many more...
"Bring the tape measure . . . Tape measure . . . The thing with the numbers . .
.Yes, you come with it!"
No, but it contains one of my most favorite lines: MOE: Look, a microphoney!
CURLY: Yeah, and a phoney at the Mike!
I bid you peace.
"Thank you, Goodnight and God Bless..."
