* Slapstick comedy: Their physical humor is legendary, with iconic routines like "nyuk nyuk nyuk," poking eyes, and the famous "whoop whoop whoop" sound effects.
* "Moe, Larry, and Curly": The original trio is instantly recognizable, even if people don't know their real names (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard).
* The "Stooge" look: Their signature look, with Curly's wild hair, Moe's pointed shoes, and Larry's glasses, is instantly recognizable.
* Catchphrases: "Soitenly," "Nyuk nyuk nyuk," "Hey, I'm walkin' here!" and "You're a real scream!" are just a few of their famous catchphrases.
* The "three stooges" sound: The unique, chaotic, and often nonsensical dialogue and sound effects create a distinctive "Stooge" experience.
These elements all contribute to the enduring legacy of The Three Stooges as one of the most popular and recognizable comedy acts in history.
