Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Punch Drunks is a 1934 short subject starring The Three Stooges. It is their second short.Struggling boxing manager Moe is having lunch with several associates when he notices that their shy waiter (Curly) goes insane whenever he hears the song "Pop Goes the Weasel". Moe also takes notice of a fiddler (Larry) who happens to be playing the potent tune at the restaurant. Seeing dollar signs in the uncontrollable waiter, Moe quickly recruits the two unsuspecting cohorts and preps them for the boxing world. Curly's boxing handle becomes "K.O. Stradivarius", and with Larry in tow—playing "Pop Goes the Weasel" at every boxing match, Curly becomes the number one contender for the heavyweight championship. But, of course, things begin to go awry after Larry breaks his violin.This short has the distinction of being the only Three Stooges short thus far selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Curly is... Curly, but whenever he hears "Pop Goes the Weasel" he becomes an incredibly strong berserker.

The Dog Bites Back: Curly's berserker fits come more than once when someone kicks him around. His abusive boss in particular gets a Megaton Punch. Punching Moe back for once leads to his "Eureka!" Moment however.
