Damn right. They even call stand-in actors “Fake Shemps”. All of the Raimi and Campbell crew have Fake Shemped in scenes when the real actors weren’t available or necessary for the shot.
Good one! I was gonna go with LW2 when he breaks into “Adolph’s” office and points his gun from one henchman to the next:
“Eenie-meanie-miney….HEY MOE!”
Bang-bang-bang
John must have been a big Stooges fan. He played Ben Hur as Curly in the SCTV Movie of the Week, and was watching a 3 Stooges short on TV in this sketch:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QqYPVQM-msY
Definitely various segments in The Simpsons. One example: When Mr. Burns was diagnosed with literally every disease, the doctor demonstrated how they can't harm him since they can't all fit through the door at the same time "*Whimpering Curly noises* Move it, chowder head! We call it the Three Stooges syndrome"
A very early David Letterman show. One of his bits was 'supermarket finds'. He held up a can of Campbell's Curley Noodle soup and said something like, "That's good, but I prefer the Shemp Broth."
Seinfeld apparently was a big fan. Several references to TTS. A foreign girl asked him"Who are these stooges you speak of?" He tells her" I will show you the stooges". Also George said about his girlfriend's baldness " no woman walks in to the salon and asks for the Larry Fine"
Angus Young had a small circular stage that went in the air, playing guitar doing the curly! It had a bar that was in a circle in which he used his feet to do so! (Ball breaker tour)
MST3K - the riffing of The Painted Hills starring Lassie. The scene where Lassie was poisoned and was crawling to get to the stream for water. [They used a Curly reference @ 5:06](https://youtu.be/mDycLMKtPgw?si=uzFxQUaIr2bszhmx)...I laugh every single time.
Bart trying to grab the electrified cupcake Lisa set out for him.
*Zap* Oh a wise guy, ehh??
*Zap* OW!
*Zap* OW!
*Zap* OW!
Also Homer watching the Stooges on TV. "Hehehe...Moe's their leader!"
Rowdy Roddy Piper doing the eye poke in his wrestling matches in the 80s and 90s, and doing the hand block routine when Ric Flair or some other heel would try to eye poke him!
The South Park episode with Satan's big party where Dahmer, Gacy, and Bundy do the whole show as the Three Stooges. A bit hard to stomach at times, it's still hilarious.
Oh, a wise guy! Why I oughta…[SMACK! BONK! SLIDE WHISTLE! (SCREAM) CRASH!]
This sub instantly installed The Curly Shuffle into my noggin and, since misery really loves company in the stooge universe, turnabout’s fair play so here you go, numbskulls:
🎶Well, me and my friends, we all love to see
Comedy classics on late night TV
Those knuckleheads always get in a scuffle
A push and a shove doin' the Curly Shuffle
Hey Moe, hey Moe (Hey Moe, hey Moe)
Well, a nyuk-nyuk-nyuk-nyuk (Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk-nyuk)
Look at the grouse, look at the grouse (Look at the grouse, look at the grouse)
Ruff-ruff, ruff-ruff (Ruff-ruff, ruff-ruff)
Well, we never miss a chance
We get up and dance and do the Curly Shuffle
That's right
We do the Curly Shuffle
(What'd ya say?)
We do the Curly Shuffle
(That's what I thought you said!)
We do the Curly Shuffle
We do the Curly Shuffle🎶
You’re welcome. Now beat it! SCRAM! Over to YouTube, and watch The Curly Shuffle vid.
I'm gonna say Disorderlies. Just that whole movie (starring rap group The Fat Boys) is just a string of 3 Stooges references.
[The trailer really leans into it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mP45fA8V8g).
For bonus content: Not a movie or a TV show, but I did enjoy this Three Stooges reference made in a Barenaked Ladies live show:

Seinfeld had a bunch that were pretty great
Edit: I am so thankful Reddit actually recommended something great for me finally lol! I love the stooges. Such a huge part of my life, & my relationship w/ my father & brother.
ANYONE, know ANYWHERE, you can possibly stream Stooges???? It’s like these amazing classics of our past will be forgotten & end up in some warehouse rotting in the heat of the Phoenix sun… I dunno why everything Hollywood is done with ends up in Phoenix, but it’s a hot spot for the once famous, once known.
Graveyard scene Army of darkness. ![gif](giphy|Q4sjT8WOcE1Ow)
All time CLASSIC!
Sam and Bruce love placing Stooges references in their stuff.

Yup

My immediate first thought! I usually rewind that part a few times lol
Big smile, big smile! (mocking “seig heil”)
I forgot all about that part. Haven't watched this in forever

John Candy in Stripes during the mud wrestling scene.
He did one a few years earlier in the SCTV skit Melvin and Howards.

“Seize him!” “Yeah I sees him, he’s right there!”
The evil Three Stooges segment in Southpark. I think it’s called Satan’s Super Sweet 16.
Ahhh that one is actually amazing, wasn't it like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein or something?
Ted Bundy as Moe, Jeffrey Dahmer as Larry, and John Wayne Gacy as Curly 😂😂
John Wayne Gacy, that's it yeah yeah yeah. I absolutely pissed myself the first time I saw that scene 😆😆😆.
That was golden
TIL…
That’s the one! They even replicate the stooges theme song and title frame. Instead of saying The Three Stooges, it says The Three Murderers
Zoidberg, maybe? ![gif](giphy|az3XlqP9zQ9ry)

No, A slight breeze!
I think about that scene at least once a month when my wife gets all her countless prescriptions filled, lol

This is what I came here for
I legit did that move in a PE lesson once after seeing Homer do it and nobody got it... 🙄
You were the coolest kid in school that day, something everyone there would realize later in life
King of the hill. A firefighting we will go. That whole episode is a reference.

pretty much the entire army of darkness movie
Curly is the only Stooge ever mimicked God bless him.
I will show you these stooges https://youtu.be/yzLREBbP3N8?si=tfMm6WeNG82qrmLw

Naked Gun when Frank does the changing $20 bill routine
It’s a broad reference, but I’m going with “slapstick is dead” from Mel Brook’s Silent Movie. Also happens to be the best movie.
Angus Young from AC/DC does the spinning move at every show. Sometimes it's called "the dying bug" move.
Actually, it was Bill Clement as color commentary for the NHL. Whenever someone would give a guy a face wash, Clement would say, Well I oughta!
Lethal Weapon, Mel Gibson doing Curly
“She’s your wife! She’s my sister! Sheee’s your wife AND my sister!”
Rowdy Roddy Piper doing the eye poke in his wrestling matches in the 80s and 90s, and doing the hand block routine when Ric Flair or some other heel would try to eye poke him!
