Trivia:
In the original script, it was "Stars and Stripes Forever" that drove Curly Howard crazy, but it was changed when it was decided that Larry Fine would play the tune on the violin. Larry himself chose "Pop-Goes-the-Weasel" because the other song didn't sound right when played on the violin. moreGoofs:
Continuity: It's obvious that the audience in Curly's fight is just footage being rewound continuously. Take a look at the guy in the middle of the footage who keeps shaking his friend's neck. moreQuotes:

Girl: No, I mean I'm stuck . . .

Punch Drunks (1934)
**** (out of 4)
Three Stooges short has the wimpy Curley turning into a mean fighting machine each time he hears Pop Goes the Weasel. This is certainly the best short I've seen from the Stooges and i doubt they made one that was better. The laughs are non-stop from start to finish the violent humor is great throughout as well. The site gags are also pretty good including Larry walking into the bar, pulling his hat off and a part of it remaining on. The boxing match at the end also contains plenty of laughs.
