Who could forget his “Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!” and “Woo-woo-woo!” calls? They are classics, and just as endearing as they are annoying. That’s what gave his character the extra clumsy spice that is still beloved to this day. Thanks to his high pitched voice and unique expressions, it didn’t take long for Curly to become the most popular of all the stooges. He had so much talent that it didn’t even matter if he had hair or not.
