| Ants In The Pantry | comment |
In this 1936 short, The Three Stooges are pest exterminators who, due to a lack of business, are forced by their boss to drum up business by planting mice, moths, and ants in an unsuspecting house under the threat of being fired if they cannot. They select a fancy mansion where a high society dinner party is being held. After successfully infesting the house with vermin, the trio are predictably hired to clean up their own mess, without interrupting the party, dressed as guests. Thus, Hilarity Ensues as they end up crashing the fancy party.The short was remade with Shemp in 1951 in Pest Man Wins. | |

Real Life Writes the Plot | |
| Ants In The Pantry / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: The Stooges' Engineered Heroics were Truth in Television for a long time. For years, even well into the 20th century, exterminators would drum up business by deliberately planting termites, ants, roaches, mice, etc in people's homes and then show up to deal with them. | |

Squirrels in My Pants: A mouse goes down a man's shirt, and then down into his pants. As he shakes around to get it out the Stooges begin to dance, in order to convince the other guests that he's only dancing. | |

Gossipy Hens | |
| Ants In The Pantry / int_b5dded87 | comment |
Gossipy Hens: Many of the guests, particularly a woman named Eleanore. Thus the Stooges are told to keep the pest problem as secretive as they can before it becomes the talk of the town. | |

Literal-Minded: The Stooges are playing cards and Moe asks Curly to "Cut the cards" (meaning spread them out to each of them). Curly instead slices the cards with an axe. | |
