The Three Stooges Follies

There are no LGBTQ+ characters or narratives that challenge traditional gender roles and relationships. The shorts rely on humor that assumes everyone is straight or cisgender.

Male characters drive the action, often through physical clumsiness. Female characters usually have secondary, domestic, or reactionary roles without much independence.

The casting and characterizations follow the homogeneous standards of early Hollywood. There is no multi-layered casting or diverse ethnic representation.

The collection follows traditional Western comedic structures. The stories generally uphold established social norms and traditional structures of authority.

Humor often comes from physical frailty or perceived cognitive issues. Using the 'buffoon' archetype for disabled characters doesn't respect progressive representation.
