Don't Watch: First Teaser Trailer for Farrelly Bros' New 'Three Stooges'

"Did you get a haircut?" Well, here they are, your new Three Stooges of 2012 - Will Sasso, Sean Hayes and Chris Diamantopoulos as Curly, Larry and Moe. 20th Century Fox has unveiled the first official teaser trailer via Apple for the Farrelly Brothers' comedy event of 2012, The Three Stooges, a revival of the classic comedy trio from the 20s, somehow redone in 2012 without being funny at all. There's all the typical gags, jokes, slaps and everything, even Nuns in bikinis, as you'd only expect from the Farrellys. This looks about as unfunny, uninspired and unexciting as one could imagine. Risk watching it only if you wish.

Watch the first teaser trailer for the Farrelly Brothers' The Three Stooges, in high def via Apple:

The Three Stooges is written & directed by filmmaking brothers Bobby & Peter Farrelly, of the comedies including Dumb & Dumber, Kingpin, There's Something About Mary, Shallow Hal, The Heartbreak Kid and Hall Pass. Inspired by the original "Three Stooges" shorts from the 1930s, the storyline will follow the trio from when they're orphans and into adulthood. The film will be divided into three half-hour shorts, and the Stooges will get mixed up in plots involving murder and a reality show. In addition to Diamantopoulos, Hayes and Sasso, the supporting cast includes Jane Lynch, Larry David, Sofía Vergara, Jennifer Hudson and Stephen Collins. Fox is bringing the new Three Stooges to theaters everywhere April 4th, 2012. Anyone?

Wow...that...was...um...interesting. Family fun perhaps...but serious comedy? (wait...serious comedy?) no way.

It was crap. To be fair I never thought the Stooges were funny. It was lame, the nun in the pool is insanely hot, and I only laughed when Snookie took one in the eye.

Thexn

Why did I watch that? Now anytime I watch classic Stooges I'm going to have that creeping around in the back of my mind! Crud.
Marty

Ok, yes, this looks bad. BUT in it's defense, the actors themselves seem to pull off a great Three Stooges, it's just that the filmmakers must of thought it would be funny to take 3 characters from many decades ago and put them in modern day. If this was a period film, alla "Oh Brother" I think I'd actually dig the humor.

Jericho

plus he poked Snookie in the eyes...that's all i need to see to get me to watch this....

No one will see this film fewer times than me.

@Marty I agree

Holy crap. This is a disgrace.

Well everyone told them it was a mistake, and looks like they should have listened. Even The Three Stooges knew their schtick only worked in 15 minute chunks so how these guys expected to make it work for at lest 90 minutes is beyond me.
Sands

Sofia Vergara is so voluptuous and sexy. She's a very talented actress. She'll be wonderful in the film.

....yeeeeahh.

No way.

FAAIL! and sorry for the caps
Curly Joe

I think that if the Farrelly brothers dug up the remains of Moe, Larry and Curly and then raped their corpses for about an hour and a half while filming it, it would not be half as offensive or a complete slap in the face to the geniuses that The Three Stooges were. Let us hope that they can forgive us for letting this horrendous film see the light of day.

Spike-the-poet

George Lucas raped 6 corpses before he was done w/Starwars...

I laughed almost the whole time on how BAAAADDDDD it is going to be. Will I see it? Absolutely. Just to watch a really bad bad bad movie. So excited. (This is the kinda movie where you get so drunk so that you pretend its really good)

http://www.facebook.com/gockel Phillip Gockel

I'll buy that. Fantastic drunk movie.

I am drunk right now and I didn't laugh once. Graned, I['m not THAT drunk. just mildly buzzed. I don't think this movie is gonna work...

There are 16 states where people will watch this movie. California, Colorado, Alaska, Arizona....you get the point.

I can't believe this was made
junglejim

Honestly, I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about It seemed like every other Three Stooges bit I've ever seen. Slapstick to the core. Not awesome comedy, slapstick. What did everyone expect?

http://twitter.com/AgentKidSociety Agent Kid Society

"Not awesome comedy, slapstick." So are you saying what the original 3 stooges did wasn't "awesome" at the time? Slapstick or not, what they did for comedy as a whole is fucking legendary...

junglejim

true, but it isn't the three stooges' time anymore, so how did anyone expect this to be amazing? its just about as good as i expected.

Forgottenromeo

Berate it all you want... I thought it looked pretty much spot on... How else did you THINK a three stooges film set in this day and age was going to look? I'll be going to see it, for sure.
truong18

I like the nun
nick

This is a joke, right?
Anonymous

That would make an absolutely fantastic SNL skit. Movie? Not so much.
magnus

You can tell that the bikini is actually digitally altered. Probably to cover more in the trailer.
Horgin

I sort of wish I had heeded Alex's suggestion. I agree with Marty though, it would work much better as a period piece.
grimjob

OK. Hmmm. The schtick is funny. I found myself laughing when they pulled off the Stooge moves. the bit at the end with the present to that dumb bitch from that stupid show made me laugh pretty hard. But it all just reminds me of how great the Stooges were, and I don't think I'll be able to sit through an entire film of these guys.
Franklin_Carpio

Am I the only one that sees this as exactly what I remember from the original? The Three Stooges were always about slap stick comedy? And I think they portrayed them perfectly... I don't expect this to be a smart amazing movie... but I do see it as a hilarious Three Stooges movie.
grimjob

And dear god, who is sister Bernice?

Sew

Kate Upton

junk

It's been said above already, but I figure it's worth reiterating - say what you will about whether this will be a good flick, but I am fairly convinced as far as the stooge portrayals go. The impressions are spot on. I do wish sort of, that maybe the Farrelly Brothers had done the whole thing in black and white, and kept it timeless rather than updating it to the present. The schtick might have worked a little better.
Jon

i think its Kate Upton

Please, excuse my language when I say... THAT was f*****g horrible!

For all the sheer stupidity of that trailer it did make me chuckle a few times. I aint expecting brilliance but then what do ya expect its the stooges ) i will defo watch this, perfect for sunday viewing when on a come-down ;o)
Joe

That was utterly awful.
Judasbarronx1

Well... it wasn't THAT bad. About what was expected.
Popcorn

It was ok for what it is till SNOOKIE popped up.............Anything attched to her will FAIL!
D.

Have you guys ever watched the show? Seems ok to me, this is exactly the comedy from past. I know everyone here are a bunch of kids, but i expected more from you Alex.
http://twitter.com/Nielsen700 M.K. Nielsen

He shoud've killed Snookie at the end. Then maybe I'd laugh.

Never was a fan, then and now. Why the male nun in the first shot?
Jack

Wasn't funny then. Isn't funny now.

Salber on Cinema

yeah, that's why they're comedy icons

Tonker

can you un-see something ...?
l.21

CAn't be any worse than any any other comedies coming out lately.
Lando

sorry guys. I grew up watching this and I still watch it on amc weekends and its funny as hell. I dont expect much from a remake, I mean, these guys were funny with their gags and characters, you cant stray too far from that..but its tough to imitate it. I'll watch it for free but I wont care if it sucks. the originals are still available (for a reason) to this day.. oh and yea, he poked snookie in the eyes. good enough for me

Salber on Cinema

they should have poked the WHOLE CASTof Jersey Shore in the eye.

Anonymous

Everything was going smoothly up until Snookie showed her annoying fucking face! Jersey Shore!? Seriously!? WHY!? *sigh* other than that the Stooges portrayals are actually quite spot on, Sasso seems to be the only reason for me wanting to see this movie. :/
WillMars

Ummm.....Why is Larry David a nun....

Salber on Cinema

why not.

Johnnyc

Why was this movie made its a joke. The Cast is horrible and the story and dialogue is idiotic and not in a funny way. Also why the need to be anti-Catholic I mean they cast a known anti-christian larry david as a nun and then a homosexual Jane Lynch as one Then off course poke fun at Nuns and Christians. And why did they put jersey shore cast in it? It seems the whole movie is more of a propaganda machine and a bad pop culture joke then a salute to the stooges! I feel sorry for the people who get tricked into watching it.

Wow. The guys playing the Stooges themselves are doing an awesome job with their roles. With a proper script, this could be an awesome movie. It looks like the right cast for the job.
http://twitter.com/PyroDark Kevin M Scanlan

...Why is it I never considered it would be done in modern day? I think that actually hurts it (more). God that was awful, you probably couldn't pay me to watch this.
Henry101

Highlight of that trailer: Poking Snookie in the eyes.
Anonymous

This would be better as "The Three Stooges on the Jersey Shore". Just watch them inadvertently torture the Jersey cast into madness.
bazzzass

idk with the movies they make i don't think it'll be family oriented....keeping the slapstick yea you have to its the three stooges but they probably put a little naughtiness into the mix i would'nt doubt..
Stevenfreestyler

Fatality for the stooges.....
Alleycat4444

You have to admit, Snooki being poked in the eyes is a good bit in the trailer

If this gets anything higher than 0% on Rotten Tomatoes...

wha are you all talking about!? the only good part about this entire trailer was that Snookie and J-Wow were in it!
the three amigo's

what a load of shit,boobs were the best bit.

I can't believe I watched it. THAT.........WAS.........TERRIBLE!!!!!!!

00:57 - Curly Shuffle FAIL

PG rating, a 70 yo could go with 10 yo grandkid and both laugh. Isnt that a good thing?
Anonymous

I don't see how you could do a movie like this differently, except not set it in modern day. It's the the characters and situations pretty much down. It's the Three Stooges. Fuck all y'all, I wanna see them deal with iPhones and SUVs. I want to see them wander around that world.
Drg9176

This looks great! I cant wait for it to come out! And for all u people that think this new stooges trailer sucks u must have boring , depressing lives and have nothing better to do

Makes me think of a 90s movie.
NobodyNose

The three leads actually look good physically and visually. Unfortunately, that's all this project has going for it. Any consideration about seeing this went right out the window once The Orange Goblin (Snooki) showed up. Jesus, was that the best they could do?
Armeetapus16

ok, i'm ok with the casting of the stooges now, but, I really really really hate the setting they chose for the movie, the stooges are too dated to exist in the 21st century. Had this movie taken place in the 30s or 40s, i would've been more enthused about it
Amas

I stopped asking long ago why they must rape our beloved franchises with current cultural tropes. But I laughed my a$$ off when Snooks got poked in the eye, just sayin.
Vacantfinder

a disgrace to the stooges...pathetic...really Snooki?? GTFO here with garbage
Damansanfrancisco

It's the Shemp of Three Stooges movies. Of course Shemp had more talent than these three jokers.
Tenacious V

That was worth the minute and a half just to watch Snookie take one in the face.
Vintage Movie Fan

The Three Stooges simply don't fit into modern times. It's a poor attemp at trying to do so. While the actors do their part, the setting and jokes don't fit the Three Stooges.
thepurplecow

Guys, everything now is targeted to a specific audience. If you have kids they'll love it. Mine laughed their eyes out every time I played the trailer. This movie is not targeted to YOU.
Neonblue120

This will be ok and all you bitches will be like neon told us.
mcbot

Childhood raped and murdered.
DocPiranha

Ok. I watched it twice and being a stooge fan, I have to say, I am intrigued. They seem to have the timing of the stooges down. The Farrelly bros usually do a good job of keeping us laughing, so I'm definitely going to see it. Hey... It's a way to bring the stooges to a new generation. Don't knock it until you've seen the whole thing.

Id rather chop my balls of then see this.....
Feldais1017

Yall are just jealous you didn't get to poke Snooki in the eyes >P
nobodyinparticular

I grew up with the stooges, and people who say things like "wasn't funny then, isn't funny now" definitely exemplify why anti-depressants are a multi-billion (or even trillion) dollar industry. I'm a little depressed just referencing that one... Those actors nailed it, and I'm impressed enough to want to watch it on dvd at least. I agree with the comment that it'll be fun to watch drunk or stoned. With some of my juvenile friends. And some girls. And a hot tub nearby for afterwards. All you haters are jealous that everyone else is funner than you...yeah funner...i said it...
Jbb

The trailer is very funny, and as a long time Stooges fan, I can't wait to see this film. It is long overdue that someone had the ba**s to attempt a modern version. Congrats to the Farrelly Brothers!!
