A moment of discretion before I begin, I've never been much of a fan of the Three Stooges. Even as a kid I couldn't vibe with their slower pace and low boiling anarchy. Give me the Looney Tunes, Laurel & Hardy, or Marx Brothers over them any day.
So it should go without saying that I came to "Three Little Pigskins" mostly to watch a young Lucille Ball first, and the Stooges as a secondary reason. I didn't hate it, but I didn't enjoy it much. It's slowly paced, and the jokes are very obvious. Compared to free-for-all madcap insanity of Horse Feathers, this short cannot compare. The Three Stooges are recruited to drum up interest for a university's football team, get mistaken for high-profile players by three attractive women, and drafted into playing a game in the last few minutes. It's all just kind of there, never really igniting or launching a rapid succession of successful bits.
