No Census, No Feeling is a 1940 short subject directed by Del Lord starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard). It is the 50th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.
Following an altercation with a shopkeeper, the Stooges seek refuge in a revolving door, emerging with clipboards in hand, assuming their new roles as census takers.
Their first assignment leads them to the home of a socialite, where they unwittingly disrupt a bridge game by inadvertently adding Alum salt to a punch bowl, causing comedic chaos as everyone's lips pucker.
Undeterred, the Stooges press on in their census-taking endeavor, stumbling upon a football game where they attempt to interview the players. Resorting to unconventional methods, they disguise themselves as footballers and infiltrate the game, only to find themselves entangled in the match. In a bid to retrieve the ball and glean information, they resort to a chaotic sequence of events involving ice cream and a frenzied chase, ultimately fleeing the stadium pursued by the irate football team.
