After seeing "Soup to Nuts" I was wondering how Languish felt about this crucial question.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

This was from back in the day when our culture was not exported constantly to the entire world. Ah the days when we didn't have to worry about our movies insulting the Chinese.

Nowadays you do your movies appeasing them (and their wallets).  :P

Here you go: Punch Drunks is their one film in the US National Film Registry.  Most of their other films are more or less like this.

Yep. Pity they would have made great villains after we lost the Soviets.

Somewhere between not at all and a little.  It's always pretty funny to see a fat bald man with a squeaky voice get poked in the eyes, but a little goes a long way.

Love the Three Stooges, but haven't watched them since I was a kid. So I'll keep them as a positive memory rather than actually testing them again.
Let's bomb Russia!

The Brain

I know of them but haven't seen any of their stuff.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I'll catch them from time to time on Sunday mornings.  Still hilarious, as long as it's the original cast.

Same. Many a day in my childhood watching them with my grandfather / I Love Lucy with my grandmother up in their cabin in the mountains.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I don't think I've ever actually watched anything involving them. I mostly just know of them via The Simpsons.

Well their greatest period ended around the same time Hitler shot himself so that is understandable.
