They had two different styles, but what did Python do that was so innovative? The Stooges essentially brought slapstick comedy to mainstream, and have been virtually inimitable for over 60 years. There performances are timeless, and quite frankly, showcase 4 (ultimately Moe, Shemp, and Jerome "Curly" Howard, and Larry Fine) of the greatest comedic minds of all-time.
