#17 – FALSE ALARMS (1936)

In this short, the boys are inept firemen who promise to make good after their captain gives them another chance. He will later regret that decision. When Curly visits his girlfriend, she persuades him to get Moe and Larry as dates for her friends. When he can’t reach them by phone, he issues a false alarm to get their attention. They crowd into the captain’s car for a joyride and promptly destroy it.

FALSE ALARMS is another fine entry with loads of laughs. Highlights include Moe forcing Larry to retrieve a key from a drain, Curly’s bantering with the girls, and making lots of little hoses out of big ones!

i dunno, this isn't one i really love. i hadn't seen it at all until recently, but the as firemen the boys don't seem to be so lovable. still, it is fun, so perhaps i have to let it grow on me...

I've told this story before but here goes again.

Years ago they had a "Crack open a twelve pack of Curly's" at the Royal Oak Music Theater. Of course ,we were all tailgaiting before hand, cracking open ice cold curly's and such in the parking lot.

They played this short to start off the evening. Well anyways, all 1300 of us there started screaming "Go Curly Go!" as he was chasing the cake down the stairs. What a riot! What an absolute riot!

I really like this short, probabily because of my memories associated with it, lots of funny lines in this one. I remember meeting the manager on my way out of the event, he said that we had the joint a rocking, like nothing else in recent memory.

Lady,,,,"You'll like me after we get aquainted, I grow on people."
Curly,,,,"So do warts!"

Cool story DK. Thanks for sharing your experience. Isn't it great watching the shorts with a large group that's into it? The stooges are funny enough on their own, but the laughter from an audience makes it even better. That's how it is in the film room at the annual club meetings. A blast!

Moe,,,,"Now listen captan, You wouldn't turn us out into the cold cruel world, suppose it was snowing, we would freeze."
Curly,,,,"Yeah, it'll be cruelty to animals."
Larry,,,,"Yeah, our girls love us in these uniforms."
Moe,,,,"Oh captan, give us another chance will ya, we'll put out a fire single handed."
Larry,,,,"We'll start two fires and put them out double handed."
Curly,,,,"We'll even start a fire and have YOU put it out."

Moe,,,,Say let's get this over with and I'll ask the captan to let us off tonight.
Curly,,,,"Yeah, we're invited to Macy's house to a birthday party.
Moe,,,,"Oh boy!"
Curly,,,,"Plenty of pigs knuckles smothered in garlic ."
Larry,,,,"She's got a couple of new girls for us to meet too."
Moe,,,,"Oh, a blind date eh?"
Curly,,,,"She ain't blind, she may be a little hard of hearing."

I love this short, there's so many great lines in it. Plus my brother-in-law is a fireman, so that just makes it funnier.
My absolute favorite lines:
Curly on the phone with Moe as the big girl listens excitedly,"Moe, get over here right now, you're missing the biggest thing of your life!" :curly1:

Then after the boys wreck the captain's car and Moe is thrown clear, he goes and starts trying to pull Curly, Larry and the girls out through the trunk. this line is kind of a mumbled throw away, but it cracked me up. moe's trying to pull the large girl out and he yealls,"Hey, somebody help me with this midget!" :moe1:
Moe: "What are you-an idiot, an imbecile, a moron?"
Larry:"I'll give you 10 to 1 I'm in there someplace!"
