slapstick comedy team theThree Stooges . The trio made a total of 190 shorts forColumbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.Notes
"Quiz Whizz" features Moe and Larry's more "gentlemanly" haircuts, first suggested by
Joe Besser . These had to be used sparingly, however, as most of the shorts with Besser were remakes of earlier films, and new footage had to be matched with old. In "Quiz Whizz", however, Larry's frizz is combed back, while Moe retained his sugarbowl bangs. This inconsistency also occurred in the previous film, "Outer Space Jitters ".
