Three Little Beers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three Little Beers (1935) is the 11th of Columbia Pictures' 190 short subjects starring the comedy team of the Three Stooges.

[edit] Plot

The Stooges are inept beer delivery men who learn about a company golf tournament. They're next beer delivery is to a local golf course, so the Stooges sneak onto the course to get some practice. Chaos ensues as the Stooges try to learn the game and quickly destroy the course.

[edit] Notes

This is the first short in which the Stooges use their "press, press, pull" routine.

This is the first short in which Moe angrily calls someone (in this case, Larry) a wise guy.
