The Stooges got their start working with vaudeville legend Ted Healy. Ted was the man that not only got them on stage but in film, too. Healy was notedly an unpleasant man, however, and was noted for getting blind drunk and getting into fist fights. While his cause of death remained sketchy, it was a popular theory that he died of injuries incurred while fighting, rather than his alcoholism. Perhaps the Stooges imitated some of Healy’s boorish, drunken behavior in their acts? It would seem like a plausible inspiration.
