I think my favorite!


I recently got the collection, and I've got to say that this is my favorite (maybe) one. Maybe because I remember it from the sixties as a kid, but I laugh like crazy at this. My wife thinks I'm nuts! Maybe I am....Only beef-the ending isn't complete on the collection- I distinctly(?) remember more people in the ring at the end that got knocked out.

I have not failed, I've found 10,000 ways that won't work.

You might be getting this one confused with "Grips, Grunts, and Groans" in which Curly, pretending to be Bustoff, goes berserk at the end of the wrestling match, grabs the bell that is used to start and end the rounds, starts swinging it in a circular motion, and uses it to clobber people on their heads and faces, including Larry and Moe, eventually causing the riot squad to be called in.
At the very end, with a dozen or more bodies piled up in the ring, Curly throws the bell up in the air, and, of course, it comes down on his head knocking him out too.
I believe the original ending of "Punch Drunks" is the one that is always shown with Curly waking toward the camera flailing his arms up and down as if he wants to fight some more, and doing a lot of woo-woo-wooing.
