Who's On First? Famous Abbott and Costello Routine, Just Incredible email this discussion to a friend?

I'm sure many have heard the comedy routine by Abbott and Costello.

Who's on first, What's on second, I DUNNO's on third.

What a brilliant and talented duo they were! I had heard it before, but I got to hear it again this morning. The rapid fire exchange between them and the speed and accuracy with which they went through that routine was utterly amazing. Talk about keeping your eye on the ball!

They never seemed to miss a beat. I like the fact that they were funny without resorting to baser forms of humor. This was funny, but it also was an intellectual treat. A couple of verbal jugglers. Very entertaining.

What comedy team do you miss? Do you have a favourite routine?

I used to love Abbott and Costello, too, and that was one of my favorite routines. I also used to love Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, Cheech and Chong and the entire cast of the Carol Burnette show. lol

Oh! I loved the Carol Burnett show! Harvey Korman and Tim Conway! What talented people!

I loved their re-enactments/spoofs of movies and classic stories, like the one about "Nora Desmond" the has been film star of "Sunset Blvd" Carol is hilarious in that!

She also did a mock of Scarlett O'hara, you know the part where she gets Mammy to make her a dress out of the old drapes? Well, Carol's Scarlett goes a step further and wears the curtain rod as shoulder pads!

Tim Conway was incredible! What an acrobat! He made what he did look easy!

I am not familar with Abbott and Costello. Actually, I don't know it at all. Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, Cheech and Chong? Oh my! I have heard none of them. Alright then, I am so sorry!

One of my favourite childhood memories is watching Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy while we had lunch on weekdays. We lived in Italy and although we missed their original voices I loved them so much and I thought they were hilarious. They sure don’t make them like they used to!

This is from the Laurel and Hardy Official Website:
Did you know?
“Hardy died at 65 in '57, which is 75 backwards, Laurel died at 75 in '65, which is the age when Hardy died in '57, which is 75 backwards, which is the age when Laurel died, in '65, at age 75, which is '57 backwards, which is when Hardy died, at age 65, to infinity to the tenth power, which is how long Laurel & Hardy will continue entertaining a world in need of laughter ... if we have anything to do with it! “
happy


Laurel and Hardy
