      This type of "back and forth," "misunderstanding," and "play on words" dialog was probably played in some form, on ancient Greek Theater stages. TBS, The writing of this skit is awesome! The audio performance alone, is impeccable. This act was a huge radio media act before it ventured into film and TV. Add in the visual performance and you have the stage act that they built their careers on. The accelerated cadence of the performance is designed to heighten your frustrated empathy. It is without a doubt a brilliant masterpiece, performed masterfully!

    So many Vaudeville acts made their way to television. Abbott and Costello were a comedy team years before television. They did this skit on stage hundreds of times. When radio became a thing, many acts would do shows on radio and families would tune in and when television came around, others like Burns and Allen, Lucille Ball aka I love Lucy, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Lewis and Martin all had their own shows. They could've done this bit in their sleep. You said it, their timing and delivery is what set them apart.

    They started out on stage and radio (which was live, of course), so their timing was perfected by performing their routines over and over with live audiences. By the time this recording was made, they’d probably done it a thousand times. So when Bud tells the crowd they don’t want to hear that old thing, he kinda really meant it.
    They went on to make many movies through the 40s and 50s. They had a weekly radio show and later a TV show.

    Abbott & Costello will never be outdated. They are comedy legends. They’ve did this skit from the 1930’s til today and it’s still funny! They have many other skits that are hilarious. I love the Shell Game one they do and their movies are hilarious but our favorite movie of theirs that we watch every Halloween is Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein! It’s so so good!
    If what I’ve read is correct, the reason that Abbott said at the beginning of this skit you just watched “that you didn’t think my partner would be here tonight” is because Lou wasn’t expected to be there as his baby son had fallen into their homes pool and drowned and so Lou had went home while they were out performing. However it’s my understanding that this particular event was a charity event and Lou didn’t want to let his partner down or the charity so he came to do the performance even though his partner and charity didn’t expect him to be there and the audience was unaware that his son had tragically died as it had just happened a short time before and back then news wasn’t instantaneous like it is today. Again this is what I had read somewhere years ago so don’t know if all of its true or part of it’s true but I do know his baby son drown in their pool.

  • @jeffwilson7100
    @jeffwilson7100 5 месяцев назад

    “Who's on First?" is descended from minstrel and turn-of-the-century wordplay sketches. One of the most famous was developed by Weber and Fields and called "I Work On Watt Street."Other examples include "The Baker Scene" (the comedian "loafs" at a bakery located on Watt Street) and "Who Dyed" (the business owner is named "Who"). In the 1930 movie Cracked Nuts, comedians Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey examine a map of a mythical kingdom with dialogue like this: "What is next to Which." "What is the name of the town next to Which?" "Yes." In British music halls, comedian Will Hay performed a routine in the early 1930s (and possibly earlier) as a schoolmaster interviewing a schoolboy named Howe, who came from Ware, but now lives in Wye. By the early 1930s, a "Baseball Routine" had become a standard bit in burlesque in the United States. Abbott's wife recalled him performing the routine with another comedian before teaming with Costello.

  • @NT-fo3me
    @NT-fo3me 5 месяцев назад +1

    Abbott and Costello got their start on the old vaudeville circuit in the mid 30s, where comedy duos were a common act. These duos often consisted of a 'straight man', Abbott in this case, who set up the funny man with the dialog. The timing is absolutely impeccable. I've loved them and this bit especially since I was a kid. A LONG time ago.
    They had megasuccess during the 40s in movies, being among the highest paid entertainers of the WW II era, and later in TV.

    • @scottcampbell3940
      @scottcampbell3940 14 дней назад

      Interestingly, the straight man in these comedy teams usually received the larger split - typically 60%, while the other "comedian" got 40%. It's always been the straight man who set the tone and speed and delivery of the routines. He was also the one who was tasked with knowing when to stop talking so the audience could laugh. However, finally, in the end of their relationship, I heard that the split was 50/50. The IRS wiped them out - they were both gamblers and lost their homes and pretty much everything else when the IRS opened their books and saw their winings. Bummer.

    ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN is a brilliant comic movie. Bud Abbott, the taller one, is the "straight man" in the comic duo. It's hilarious!!!

    7 x 13 = 28, also a great skit. Abbott and Costello were superstars in comedy in the 30's, 40's and early 50's. They started on stage in burlesque and vaudeville shows, did radio then films - close to forty of them, and had one of the early television shows. They were the highest-paid entertainers in the world during the Second World War.

    In the 40s before they started movies they were hired to do a weekly radio show and in their contract it was written that they had to preform the baseball routine once a month. They have many more routines, you should look at the dice routine.

  • @kenchristie9214

    This sketch was performed in 1951. It was first performed on radio in 1936. Over that 15 year period it was their most requested routine.
    When the duo first performed on radio, listeners complained they couldn't distinguish between their voices, so Lou adopted that high pitched voice.

  • @donnilloyd1355
    @donnilloyd1355 5 месяцев назад +3

    By Height, Abbott is the tall one, Costello is the shorter one. By Intelligence, (character intelligence, of course) Abbott is the smarter one, Costello is always having stuff explained to him. Believe it or not, that is how some people actually identify them. Plus, they were MASTERS at their jobs. (IMO)

    They had the ability to make it long or short depending on what movie or radio program they were on because they did this so many years.

    The greatest comedy routing of all time, and yes that's the best version of it I've heard. I never get tired of watching people experience it for the first time. :) They made some hilarious movies together, too. Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein starred not just Frankenstein's monster, but also Dracula & The Wolfman. And they were played by some of the classic actors from those roles. My favorite of theirs however is Hold That Ghost. Short version, they play two gas station attendants who through odd circumstances inherit an abandoned hotel from a mob boss. They go to check it out and suspect it may be haunted. Hilarity most definitely ensues. It was a favorite of my dad's and he introduced it to me as a kid, I've loved it ever since.

    the skit was performed many times and was continually revised until this rendition and it was copyrighted in 1944. though in live performances it was never done the same twice, this is the version that was placed on a gold record in 1956 which plays at the Baseball Hall of Fame, which is the same as performed in their 1945 film "The Naughty Nineties" (aka: 1890's). In 1999 TIME magazine named this routine as the best comedy skit of the 20th century; in 2002 a recorded copy was placed in the Library of Congress National Recording Registry; and in 2005 the line "Who's on first" was included on the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 most memorable movie quotations.

  • @jsharp3165
    @jsharp3165 5 месяцев назад

    They did this bit for twenty years on the burlesque circuit and in radio and movies before this recording was even made. They could do it in their sleep. The better you know it, the more you can see them covering for each other when one almost says something out of sequence. There are times here when Lou starts to gild the lily and no one cares because the audience knows the bit by heart, too!

    Good point, it takes to people to do the routine. One person can't all it as a joke.
    Not just Timon & Pumba, but every "short dumb guy" vs. "tall smarter guy" in the next 100 years was based off of them.
