''I Can Hardly Wait'' is the 73rd short subject starring American slapstick comedy team Film/TheThreeStooges, released August 13, 1943. In it, the stooges, who are defense workers, break into someone's house late at night and raid their refrigerator for food. After several cooking antics they finally sit down and eat, and Curly breaks his tooth on a ham bone. Moe suggests they go to sleep, and after several mishaps with a three-tiered bunk bed, Curly dozes off. The rest of the episode takes place in Curly's dream, where Moe and Larry try several tricks to remove Curly's tooth before taking him to the dentist.

!!Tropes:

* AllJustADream: But the audience is made aware of this.
* MurphysBed: One wonders why the stooges always have Curly take the top bunk. It never ends well.
* ThoughtBubble: A rare live action one appears when Curly first starts dreaming.
