Quotes:

Moe: [encouraging Shemp to practice the piano] Now go on, practice like the teacher showed you. And if you're a good boy, we're gonna give you some c-a-n-d-y.
Shemp: Aw, you know I don't smoke.

The best stooge short IMHO

"Scrambled Brains" is the best episode they've ever done, this episode makes up for the previous short "Don't Throw That Knife" which was a very pointless short. Shemp's hallucinations are hilarious, especially while playing the piano! Overall I believe this is the best short ever. Every stooge fan should add this short to their collection.

Grade: A+
