Bobby and Peter FarrellyReporting by Alexandra Seitz

As far as purveyors of outrageous comedies go, there aren't many directors more successful than the Farrelly Brothers. Since the blockbuster launches of early hits like "Dumb and Dumber" and "There's Something About Mary," the New England-bred siblings have continued to crank out riotously raunchy comedies - and soon they'll get to work continuing that tradition with the over-the-top script "Hall Pass."

When we recently caught up with the Brothers Farrelly, they clued us in on the exceedingly uncomfortable, grotesque scenes they have lined up for their characters - as well as the unlucky victims who might inhabit them.

Over the years, their proposed "Three Stooges" movie has flirted with such Moe candidates as Jim Carrey, Benicio Del Toro and Russell Crowe. Most of the rumors surrounding porcupine-head Larry have featured veteran actor David Paymer (for obvious reasons), along with Rob Corddry. Finally, there's the pivotal casting of Curly, with nyuck-nyucking candidates rumored to include Jack Black and David Koechner.

As someone who can recite every verse of Swinging the Alphabet (and after a few drinks, often does), my first thought is that the Stooges need to be unknowns. Peter and Bobby should begin traveling the world, searching for funnymen who not only resemble the Stooges, but possess the same perfect timing, infantile mindset, and overriding love of laughter that fueled Howard, Fine and Howard.
