What does this say about me - Monty Python vs 3 Stooges

[YankeyMCC]

So last night before bed I felt like watching a little TV to wind down. One channel was running 3 Stooges episodes (with Shemp) and another was running Monty Python.

Boy I struggled with the choice (am I alone in being a fan of both?) but ended up Watching Monty Python after flicking back and forth for the first few minutes.

1. It says you like watching reruns

2. Monty Python

I would've gone for Monty Python, they still make me laugh so much.

5. Hello there Spiritinthesky...

3. I don't think Shemp gets the respect he deserves

He's no Curly obviously. But his spit take was the best. The best, Jerry!

4. I always like Shemp

Curly is my favorite but I think (and I know many disagree) Shemp is in the same league, none of the other 3rd stooges even come close to Shemp never mind Curly.

7. all hail Shemp!

People always looked at me funny when I said that Shemp was on par with the other Stooges. The problem is that Curly was so damn funny that Shemp was unfairly judged against that standard.

Poor Shemp, he never got the respect that he deserved

9. Shemp was a far better actor than Curly, but Curly might be the funniest human being ever

Curly was hysterical, because every single thing he did is funny. Watching Curly walk makes me laugh. But Shemp was talented.

Joe sucked.
Curly Joe sucked more.

10. we don't even mention those last two names in our house...

Joe and Curly Joe were just awful

11. PJ O'Rourke was a great theory that all people you meet can be identified as one of the 3 Stooges

Moe - Stupid and mean
Larry - Stupid
Curly - Very very stupid indeed

12. As much as I dislike O'Rourke's politics...

he's pretty much spot-on with that assessment lol

[Forkboy]

6. Hmmm, tough choice.

I's go with Monty Python, but it would be a close call.

And Shemp friggin' rules.

8. while both are great comedy

monty python would rule. unless of course it was curly then i would switch between the two
