The Same Name
The Stooges, aka the rock band, borrowed their name from Moe, Larry, and Curly. The band was formed in the 1960s and was headed by lead singer Iggy Pop. The band got its name from the iconic trio, of course. During an interview with Clash Magazine, Pop said of co-founder and guitarist Ron Asheton, “It was inevitable that anything creative that Ron did in his life was gonna come back to the Stooges because he’d already spent probably seventeen thousand man-hours watching The Three Stooges’ films when he was supposed to be doing something else since he was twelve.”

It’s commonly said that women don’t enjoy The Three Stooges. This, of course, is a huge overgeneralization. A lot of women do, in fact, like the Stooges. The primary theory behind this is that women tend not to like physical or slapstick comedy. One AMC writer tried explaining the phenomena this way: “Women respond to seeing someone they dislike suffering pain with empathy, and men with pleasure at another’s misfortune.”
