comment
Stop! Look! And Laugh! is a 1960 Compilation Movie featuring The Three Stooges. Footage from eleven shorts (starring the original lineup of Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard) are featured; these are bridged by segments with Paul Winchell and his two dummies, Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff.Winchell plays the father to Jerry Mahoney, who tries all kinds of tricks for Skipping School from painting the windows black to painting spots on his face to fake sickness. At night, Winchell tells Jerry the story of Cinderella, with the Marquis Chimps playing all the roles using voices provided by June Foray and Alan Reed.The movie concludes with Winchell and Jerry unable to sleep due to a party next door, courtesy of footage from the Stooge short Half Wit's Holiday. Winchell goes over to complain, only to be caught in the crossfire of a pie fight to get a Pie in the Face.

Forgotten Trope: Jerry Mahoney comes home from school for lunch. This used to be Truth in Television in American schools during the first half of the twentieth century. This stopped by the 1970s due to actually being prohibited both by school regulation and by law because of concerns of truancy, liability and school safety.

Not Quite Starring: Despite receiving top billing, the Three Stooges only appear through Stock Footage from eleven of their shorts. They never actually appear in person during the film. Sadly enforced for Curly Howard who had died in 1952.

Book Dumb: Jerry Mahoney is this; he is a bad student, mentioning how awful he does in school on his tests but he is smart enough to pull tricks to fool Paul Winchell or avoid going to school.

Plot Hole: When Paul tells Jerry to go to bed, he says it's almost 10 o' clock; then a few minutes later when the party next door starts, he says it's 2 in the morning.
