How it feels

This is a compilation program that lets theater owners assemble their own feature-length show from a selection of Three Stooges shorts. The shorts feature Moe, Larry, and Joe getting into various silly mishaps and physical comedy routines.

What happens

Three Stooges Fun-O-Rama was a 1959 Three Stooges program intended for theaters, combining several two-reel comedies starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Joe Besser into a full-length presentation. Each local theater manager could customize the program to suit his own needs and advertise it as a "feature-length laugh treat", playing as few as three shorts or as many as six. The Fun-O-Rama was merely the umbrella title for a group of shorts; there never was an actual feature film produced with this title. Ten of the sixteen shorts with Besser were made available for the Fun-O-Rama program, including: Horsing Around (1957) Rusty Romeos (1957) Outer Space Jitters (1957) Quiz Whizz (1958) Fifi Blows Her Top (1958) Pies and Guys (1958) Sweet and Hot (1958) Flying Saucer Daffy (1958) Oil's Well That Ends Well (1958) Triple Crossed (1959) (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
