Vaudeville started in the 1880's. It was very popular in the US and Canada from 1880 until the early 1930's.
While the Stooges were making the two reelers they only were shown in movie theatres and not on television. It was not until after they ended their contract with Columbia, after the 1958 season, that Screen Gems bundled their two reelers into packages and sold them to television stations. Station KTTV in Los Angeles is believed to have bought the first package and began airing them in 1959.
No, they are separate entities and genres of Art. That's not to say that there might not have been a ballet dancer on the act in a Vaudeville show; there probably was. Vaudeville was like a 'variety show': music, a comic, juggling, the dance troupe, etc...
The Three Stooges first began as a comedy act in vaudeville during the early 1920s. They originally started with members Ted Healy, Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and later included Curly Howard. Their first short film, "Woman Haters," was released in 1934, marking the beginning of their successful career in Hollywood.

i would say it has it's origins in Vaudeville. interesting sidenote: the famous drummer, Buddy Rich, got his start in his parents' Vaudeville act, from what I've read.
The performer billed as the "human mop" in vaudeville was known as "The Human Mop" or simply "Mop." This act featured a unique performer who would use their body to clean floors, showcasing a blend of comedy and physical performance. The character's absurdity and engaging antics made it a memorable and entertaining act during the vaudeville era, drawing laughter from audiences.
