My Episode Review on Flat Foot Stooges · 3:21pm Jan 10th, 2020
Yo, what's up, my good pals?
This is your friendly film, TV show, and episode reporter here with another review.
And today, for my 23rd episode analysis, I'm gonna give you guys my take of the Three Stooges's "Flat Foot Stooges".
Here's the summary of it:
The Three Stooges are fireman who work at a station that still uses horses to pull engines, and they're currently preparing the horses for a contest.
However, when a sleazy salesman named Mr. Reardon plants a can of gun powder into the fire engine, and a gun powder-eating duck causes a fire at the station, it's up to the Stooges to somehow save the day.
Will the Stooges be able to put out the fire? Or will they be left without a job?
In all honesty, this episode was another one of the Stooges's funniest installments. Based on some of the reviews I found on IMDb, it's also surprisingly underrated.
Charley Chase is definitely no Del Lord or Jules White. But, helming the chairs of writer and director for this short, he created perhaps one of the liveliest Three Stooges episodes ever made. Whoever said that this episode wasn't funny must have cotton for brains, because I found it to be hilarious. The comedy landed with amazing fluency and timing throughout the short, and the plot tied together nicely. While I do admit that there may have been a sense of disorganization in the short, Chase nevertheless made it all work and actually made something fun out of it all.
The performances of the cast were as entertaining and spritely as ever, if I may say. I mean, yes, the cast often spent a majority of the time interrupting or talking over each other, sometimes the Stooges even corrected themselves with what they're saying. In the long run, though, it made their performances funny, and it enhanced them with a human sense of accuracy. The Stooges themselves still had the best moments out of everyone, and it looked like they were having great time working on this short.
In the end, "Flat Foot Stooges" was another member of the Three Stooges filmography that provided a really great time. And based on the reviews I read on IMDb, it's surprisingly underrated.
So, I rate "Flat Foot Stooges" five out of five stars.
Ive got to see more of these episodes more often!
Ah the Stooges, classic. Hmm, you think you'd ever review Mr. Holmes?
The one thing that had me stumped was how the duck could lay exploding eggs.
