Ants in the Pantry (1936)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
The Three Stooges are working as exterminators but when business is slow they decide to plant the insects themselves, which just leads to trouble. All the jokes here are rather hit and miss with most of them being misses but this short is still pretty entertaining. There's a "cut the hards" scenes, which was borrowed from the Marx Brothers but it's pretty funny here as is another scene where the boys start a dance after a guy gets a mouse down his back.
Now available on Columbia's 2-disc set, which features over 20 shorts, all remastered.
