Here's a tip - if you don't have birthday candles, don't use a flare instead - especially if it's your last one. I made that mistake once, and my friends never let me live it down.
My favorite Stooge effort. Punch Drunks was remade in a solo Shemp Howard short called "A Hit With a Miss" before Shemp (re-)joined the Stooges. In it, you can see much re-used footage, including a shot of what is clearly Larry Fine, not "Professor Periwinkle". Like most remakes, it can't hold a candle to the original: https://youtu.be/nbGkwHbCTrE
