Larry is lovable and usually the most under-appreciated of the trio (not taking Shemp into account, despite how pivotable his role was for the show). But screw PC ideologies, Moe's a classic character who steers the Stooges in the direction of comedy success. In the modern age, Moe is a manipulative, abusive, selfish, sexist pig who would be immediately rejected if introduced in this day and age. 'I'm a victim of soy-kum-stance!' is a classic.
It's not just the slapstick comedy, it's the also the well-timed lines and dialogue that are still funny almost a century later. From the accents to the slang, it's a time capsule of the comedy and vernacular of mid-20th century New York and such. If anything, it's a historical documentary of how people talked and behaved during the 1930's through the 1950's. I can't believe this show has been around for basically 90 years, and I'm only the second person to leave a review of this classic milestone in Hollywood comedy.
