Original Who's On First routine

[docgoblin]

<p>This is still funny after all these years. The writing is terrific, and the timing of Abbott and Costello is amazing! If its been posted already I'm sorry: </p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://gorillamask.net/whosonfirst.shtml" title="Who's On First">http://gorillamask.net/whosonfirst.shtml</a></p>

what a great bit.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ronnie always says that timing is everything.&nbsp;&nbsp; this proves the point.

Abbot and Costello are my favorite.&nbsp; Every comedy team since pales in comparasion.&nbsp; Better than those silents Laurel and Hardy as well!

<p>i never liked Laurel and Hardy.&nbsp; Every A&amp;C movie was great.&nbsp; they were the greatest comedy duo and i can only think of one other team that comes close.&nbsp; </p>

I always liked Laurel and Hardy as well as Abbott and Costello. L&amp;H were so deep into the old time cinema though, that you really have to like that depression-era humor. The Marx Bros. (my favorite team), and the original Stooges are like that also. Abbott and Costello were more a contemporary of Martin and Lewis. And you can say whatever you want about Jerry Lewis, he was a very funny comedian, especially in the early days.<br />

<p>thanks for posting that. hadnt seen that since i was a kid. Channel 4 used to show their movies before cartoons on sat mornings.&nbsp;but a&nbsp;few years ago i saw my first full marx bros movie. gotta admit i much prefer them now. the musical stuff and dodgy romance plots are mostly shite. but pretty much anything with groucho, chico or harpo is still brilliant.</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwyaTwPuMY4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwyaTwPuMY4</a></p><p>anybody seen a clip of oliver hardy doing the falsetto singing about?</p>
