He is more like an assistant; he feeds lines to the other comedian, a complete straight man. It further more means a person who allows him to be used for the advantage for other's profit or advantage, more over like a puppet.

They were commonly known by their first names, Moe, Larry, & Curly; Moe, Larry, & Shemp; and other lineups. It originally featured the three men line-up in which the brother was Moe Howard, long-time friend Larry Fine and brother Shemp Howard. In 1932, Shemp was replaced by his brother Curly Howard.
