Who's on First?
7 Comments

It's a cold, wet, ugly Sunday in New York and if you need a big laugh this classic Abbott and Costello sketch should do the trick. Watch the original "Who's on First?" above or if you'd prefer, a fun type design animation treatment after the jump.Whatever you choose, you'll laugh.

You know it's funny, when just reading it makes you laugh.

Laurel & Hardy? Jesus, dude, you really really ought to be ashamed of yourself.

er, its Abbott and Costello.

Useless trivia .... Abbott and Costello are the only people enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame who never played, coached, etc., baseball. They were enshrined due solely to their efforts as goodwill ambassadors based upon this hilarious comedy routine.

Sorry to say that's not Laurel and Hardy, but
Abbott and Costello.

As a self proclaimed Abbott and Costello fanatic, one who owns over 30 of their films on DVD and both seasons of the television show, calling them Laurel and Hardy has hurt my feelings. But at least you recognize the genius.

I don't understand anyone that doesn't think Abbott and Costello are funny.

It's a classic, and still funny. Boing Boing posted a new version that wasn't funny at all, and it just highlighted the comic timing of A&C.

Oh, and since no one has said it yet...

This is old.

I am. I am. It's fixed.

Yeah, it's old...but it's still holds up decades later.
