When I was a kid, in a safe and sheltered childhood, their brand of humor was one thing. It was probably the sound effects and Curly’s vocalizations. Curly was always my favorite, and I started feeling sorry for him. Especially as I grew up and learned a lot more about violence and abuse, and how there was nothing funny about it. And I started seeing The Stooges in a whole new and very uncomfortable way.

I never let my kids watch them cuz I thought the underlying messaging wasn’t good. Not something they should see, cuz it wasn’t funny. Their brand of slapstick humor isn’t funny, and they went WAY overboard with it.
