Who's on first!

How about other classic comedy teams, films and shows? Let's hear it for Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello, The Marx Brothers, The Honeymooners, etc.

Who's on first!

Postby DangerkittyToTheRescue on February 11th, 2006, 6:01 pm

Abbott & Costello of course!
Who's on first, what's on second, I don't know is on third.
I just love that comedy routine that those two did. I'll admit that I'm not that big of a fan of A & C but this one just takes me away. The best part of baseball season is when the radio stations play the routine in the spring.

Here is a link to the text copy of Abbott & Costello's Who's on first

Anyone else enjoy this one?

Absolutely! It cracks me up every time I hear it. One of the greatest routines ever.

"Naturally?" ~ Lou

"Naturally." ~ Bud

"OK, so I pick up the ball and throw it to Naturally." ~ Lou

"No! Ya do nothing of the kind! Ya throw it to Who." ~ Bud

"Naturally!" ~ Lou

"Yes." ~ Bud

"That's what I said!!!!!!!!" ~ Lou :mad:

This possibly the funniest verbal routine ever. It never fails to crack me up no matter how many times I hear it.

i agree

Postby Xenorama on February 17th, 2006, 2:16 pm

i love it as well, and it's got a lot of variations (some slightly more adult than others).

ever notice when you see other people do the routine it's sometimes not right? the characters of Bud and Lou are important, as is the timing. most people seem to get the Abbott character down, but "Lou" tends to jump on the lines to early.

at least, that's what i see.

ABBOTT: Your computer?

COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

ABBOTT: Software for Windows?

COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. what do you have?

Here is a truly great version from their 1945 film, THE NAUGHTY NINETIES. I find it even funnier at some points because no one is laughing in the background. You really can concentrate on the slick, verbal chemistry and performance.

I am not a fan of the Abbott and Costello movies. I think they're kinda "underdone", but they were awesome on the radio. Some of the funniest comedy I ever heard was off one episode I had. I lost the tape though! AAAAARGH!
As far as Who's on First? the thing that separates them from other ones I've heard is how fast the dialogue flies back and forth. It was so smooth! Great sketch!

I'll agree whole heartedly, amazing how they could move through that piece without a gaff.
