The Stooges

The Stooges are the protagonists of several short films, and a feature film directed by the Farrelly Brothers. They are Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp. They are a team of well-meaning bumblers who find themselves holding different jobs across different places and different time periods. According to the Farrelly Bros. movie, the four of them are brothers, having being raised in an orphanage not knowing their birth parents. Despite their idiocy, they often suceed in their tasks, and get even with the ones that try to harm them or otherwise do them wrong. They possess a degree of invulnerability and immortality, as they are able to shrug off injuries that would kill a normal human. Moe is the leader of the team and the voice of reason among the four, and the one that usually keeps the other four in line. Shemp is the second in command, but he is not as smart or level-headed as Moe, although he is just as gruff and irascible. Shemp is the most mellow and chipper of the four. Curly is the ditziest of the four, with an almost childlike mind. He is also the strongest of the four, having once being a champion boxer. The Stooges memorable teamed up with Scooby-Doo and the Scooby Gang in The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
