Little geeky note, but the Stooges were the first to openly make fun of Hitler. (Even predating Charlie Chaplin.) Being Jewish, you can’t really blame them. (I have some Jewish ancestry myself.)

Moronica for morons! Ja man!

Publicity & promotion has been around for many centuries. In ancient times Roman gladiators actually used to promote local businesses, and products, much like a modern actor, or sports celebrity would.

@Beau Skunky  
Even the actors panicked upon realizing that rather than 12 devil actors they now had 13, though scholars seem certain it was a publicity stunt by Marlowe. “Come see our play! It’s so good, Lucifer himself puts in an appearance!”

@Ardashir  
I’m not very superstitious, but that’s an interestingly creepy story.
 

 
That’s actually kinda funny in a way.

@Beau Skunky  
Given that Willy was stealing most of his plays from other authors who in turn stole from each other, probably.
 
And a little OT but there’s the fun story of how Marlowe’s “Dr. Faustus”, which has a demon-summoning scene which Marlowe cribbed from for-real grimoires (sorcerors and actors moved in the same circles back then) supposedly lead to a real demon appearing on the stage. At which point the performance was stopped, Marlowe walked out and told everyone not to panic but Satan Himself was backstage. However, only sinful and hypocritical people were in trouble.
 
Everyone in the theater immediately ran for their lives.

@Ardashir  
I bet in ancient times people debated on who’s retelling of Shakespeare’s plays were best, and such.

@Beau Skunky  
In that we’re no different from any fandom. Back in the 30’s and 40’s SF fandom spent most of its time and energy infighting and “purging” each other over what was and was not “real” SF.
 
Heck I read once about the various Classical authors who wrote about the Trojan War. Apparently they all had their favorite among the massive list of characters and tried writing versions in which the ‘real’ hero saved everyone and killed everyone they didn’t like in the story. So that’s been going on for about 2500 years, at least.

@Ardashir  
Now the fandumb side of the fandom found other things to hate on. Starlight Glimmer, Flurry Heart, IDW, Fosgitt’s art, the redesigned changelings, minor characters, every episode after Season 2, pandering, among other things.
 
The drama never ends, but of course there’s still a small hatedom for Twilight or wingy Twilight too. So even that’s not as dead as you think.

@Ardashir  
Eeyup.

@TheMultiBrony21  
Ah, yeah, didn’t think of that. The outrage over that is pretty dead by now.

@Ardashir  
This image is likely a reference to the fact that, five years ago, when she became a princess a lot of people were upset. That’s about all I can come up with.

@TheMultiBrony21  
Which does make me wonder why Princess Twilight would be there. Given the fandom’s weird ideas, wouldn’t Celly be more appropriate?

This episode was hilarious! It was a big Adolf Hitler parody… With Moe as Hitler.

@Ardashir  
Weird. AMC’s been showing shorter/chopped up versions too lately usually for that reason…
 
I miss the old hour long unedited blocks of the 3 Stooges that TV used to have.

@Beau Skunky  
Actualy I was thinking of the Stooges shorts I saw as a kid on the local stations while growing up. They used to stick them in whenever a movie didn’t run long enough and they were lacking in commercials. I remember once seeing three very disconnected minutes from one short.

@Ardashir  
Good ol’ AMC… It’s bad enough the Disney Channel used to cut down old classic Disney shorts to commercial-length.

@Beau Skunky  
It’ll be even shorter when it’s on TV, and far less comprehensible.

@Ardashir  
20-minutes.

So Twi is running the country with the help of these three?
 
How long before the revolution?

@Beau Skunky  
That’s messed up.

@kuren247  
Y’know, funny thing is, I saw on GameStop’s website where they were selling a download code for the Virtual Console 3DS version of “Super Mario Land 2,” some guy in the comments of the product page was ranting, and raving about how much the game “sucks,” and how much he regrets buying it, (it only costs $3.99) just because it was in “black & white.”  
He’s either trolling, or doesn’t know what a “Gameboy” is… (And this person was apparently a grown-up, claiming he bought it for his kid.)
 
(And it’s not like they didn’t show you screenshots, and information about the game before you purchase/download the game from the Nintendo Eshop, or GameStop website.)
 
Kinda sad, some folks judge something, just because it’s old, or not colorized, and such. There’s alot of cool old stuff out there.

@Beau Skunky  
indeed

@kuren247  
I don’t mind it, it’s no different then when Nintendo remade the B&W Gameboy games “Link’s Awakening,” and “Wario Land 2” for the Gameboy Color. (Nobody was upset by that.) Plus as I said they still have the B&W versions, even in the colorized DVDs.
 
The process of how they colorized ’em (which I watched on a special feature on my DVD) is actually quite interesting to.

The stooges don’t need to be colorized, It’s B/W film history.
