I was watching a Dodger game on tv a couple of years ago. The Dodgers had a Japanese player who last name was Hu. He got a single. While standing on first base, Vin Scully said "Folks I can finally say it" "Hu's on first"."
@@ponyboy481 He's Korean. Chin Lung Hu. In 2011 he was on the Mets and their announcer got to say it. That was the first I'd heard of him, so it was the first time for me. Funny stuff.
I speak three languages fluently AND NOTHING I have heard in any of those languages has such perfect timing or rythm . Symphonies are not as well constructed.
What is so cool is that there is no sexual jokes, no racial jokes, no political jokes, no cussing, foul language or anything. Just pure comics as it used to be.
just goes to show that you don't need to cuss or insult people to be funny. Today's comedians need to study these guys along with the other old Vaudeville acts and early 20th century comedy. Problem is for the last 30, 40 or so years kids don't like anything older than 5-10 years old or things from the older generations. It isn't cool or hip to like things from your parents generation or earlier.
Anything that was to be shown on film to the public had to pass censorship standards. Even saying "Dam" was rarely allowed, which is why he said "darn it". At other venues comics did use swear words and make "naughty" jokes. My parent's went to Las Vegas to see one of their favorite comics. He was a regular on the Dick Van Dyke Show. They ended up being appalled because his live act was filled with cussing and swearing. I don't know if Abbott and Costello got down and dirty live, but many did. Actually today because of cellphones comics don't have the freedom to say whatever they want in their live acts that previous generations had.
@@klandersen42 I get your point, but there are plenty of comedians that are funny without being vulgar. There's something for everyone out there. This old stuff is funny for about 3 sec but i respect it contextually.
klandersen42 duos like Armstrong and Miller, Mitchell and Webb, Morecambe and Wise, the Two Ronnies, etc, are following in the footsteps, and doing different types of comedy that is just as clever without cursing etc. But that's the thing, I wish more comedians would realise that cleverness outranks cussing in every sense when it comes to being funny. Abbott and Costello one Masters of timing, and script.
Well some artists in comedy are just so skilled or memorable, and their style leaves such an indelible mark on our society and culture that it lasts well beyond the lifespan of the ones who originated it. That’s how you become legendary. No?
It was a real joy watching someone who'd never seen this routine loving it just like I did as child watch them on TV. It was most likely on the Ed Sullivan Show. 24 seasons, more than 1050 episodes; there was so much music and comedy gold discovered on that show.
I was born in 67 so I really appreciate this video and the fact that younger people are enjoying these legends of comedy. I was also born in the same city as Lou Costello. R.I.P.
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello had done this comedy routine for many years. First in vaudeville, then on radio, and then on television. They also did this comedy routine on one of their part-time hosting appearances on "The Colgate Comedy Hour" on NBC.
"The Abbott and Costello Show" was filmed for airing on ABC for one season in 1953-54. They also co-hosted part-time on "The Colgate Comedy Hour" on NBC (The other part-time hosts were Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, and Eddie Cantor).
It really is one of the most clever routines of all time. I gotta hand it to them for crafting it so perfectly and all done from memory. So funny. Glad you liked it.
A lot of people do not realize how tough it is to be the straight man in this sketch. The rapid fire of delivered lines are so important. Bud Abbott was the greatest straight man to have ever lived.
Love watching young people watch old stuff, I grew up on it but can't explain it to this generation. Don't know how I got here but Kudos to you! Best reaction I've seen yet.
Who's on first What's on second I don't know's on third Tomorrow's pitching Today's catching Why's in left field Because's in center field Nobody's in right field I don't give a darn is short stop. Good stuff
CJ & Rina - I just subscribed - you are nice people! I am a 65 yr old white guy in N California. CONGRATULATIONS !! You have been "Who's on First"ed. The whole point of this routine is they BOTH keep STRAIGHT FACES!!! My son and his girlfriend tried this routine using a script - and they ALMOST made it all the way through without cracking up! Thanks for a nice video!!! (4/22/19)
I've always loved this routine and if you really think about it, this is probably one of the most intelligent comedy bits ever made. It's clean...no cuss words. It's not mean-spirited. It's not corny. The ability to riff off the names of the players are endless. And, in the end, it's about people not being able to communicate, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE USING THE SIMPLEST OF WORDS. Awesome. Thanks CJ and Rina.
wonderful skit... did you know that originally this was done on radio, because TV had not yet been invented. These two guys became super famous from radio. Nobody knew what they even looked like, which made it even more amazing... great video ..keep it up!!!
Before radio, they honed this (and other routines) to perfection on the vaudeville circuit. Then came radio, then films, then TV. If you liked this video, try a couple of their movies, like "Buck Privates", or "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein".
Many others comedians did the routine first. Abott had another partner but when they ended up together they clearly were the right partners. The rest is history.
This was many decades before my time, but it still is funny because of their sheer talent and the hard work they had previously engaged in to get the timing down so perfectly. This didn't happen by accident, only by lots of repetition until they deemed it good enough to do in front of an audience. Nothing in that performance is easy to master, ESPECIALLY the talent for making it look completely spontaneous and effortless. Did you notice...not a single bad word, not a single cringy reference, not a single put down of anyone. No audience member was targeted to be embarrassed against their will. And it is just as fresh and funny today as the day it was filmed. That, right there, is talent, class and hard work put together. It is an example of why "the good old days" are referred to as such.
Abbot and Costello's 'Who's on First' is considered that best and most brilliant stand-up sketch in comedy history. Its a work of comic genius that even over 60 years later is still just as funny as when it was first performed.
I'm so glad a whole new generation is learning the slap stick comedy that I and others grew up with in the late 50's and 60's! It was so refreshing to see you guys laughing and trying to figure out what the heck's going on and what are they saying and laughing hysterically when you get it. All without one swear word or anyting. Bless you guys take care.
This is such a classic routine that I sometimes forget that people the age of my children may not have seen it. It brought a smile to my face watching you guys laugh at it.
You know, I always heard parts of this skit.. but seeing the whole thing for the first time.. I am amazed at their skill. To keep it together like this is just.. wow.
Now these are legends of comedy. You can tell these guys are beyond timeless because we are still laughing at their routines from the 30s and 40s. (This particular version of the skit was from '45' I think)
This routine is not only pure genius (here we are in 2020 still listening to it and laughing at it), but they do it so perfectly, even though it would be very tricky to learn!

@@TouchTheSparrow Nachurly (Naturally) is the name of one of the players. I listed the, because the team roster explaining the names of the players was missing this one.
This routine makes me so dizzy that I fall out of my chair. They did a similar word play routine about "Loafing" and the bakery. You have to look that up. It's just hilarious! These guys were geniuses.
I don't see how they made it all the way through this without even cracking a smile, amazing, and funny no matter how many times I see it. Great reaction.
Man Iove you two your humor and positivity just earned you another subscriber. This is one of my favorite Abbot and Costello bits and I loved re living it through your eyes I'm cracking up watching you two crack up!!! Thanks for the laughs 🤣😂🤣😂
It was cool seeing A&B getting laughs . It was fun watching you trying to understand what they saying at first but as the skit played out the laughs bust out. Great stuff thank you for sharing
Abbott and Costello are my all time comedy duo. I've been trying to collect all of their movies. There's quite a lot of volumes...I believe. I had forgotten that they had a comedy sketch show too. This is the good stuff.😂
I love Abbott and Costello, I first heard about them and this skit when I was studying television and broadcasting since then I was hooked and watched some of their movies like Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, etc. I enjoyed this reaction video thanks!
I've heard of this routine before but this is actually my first time seeing the entire skit, I was literally laughing so hard I almost peed my pants. No freaking wonder why this is considered one of the greatest comedic performances of all time. Such a wonderfully done, crafted, honed and talented performance. I've been watching a lot of your channels reactions to George Carlin, one of my favorite comedians, so that's how I found this and I'm so glad you guys posted this. I have been laughing like crazy watching George Carlin, and some I Love Lucy episodes recently, but this one definitely had me having a close call before I had to pause and run to the bathroom LOL SMH. I'm getting old, I'm getting old. Anyway thanks for these posts/videos and for bringing back the laughs.
Jerry Seinfield said that this comedy routine is the exact blueprint for a perfect comedy skit. It is perfection. Timing, material and delivery is done flawlessly. Many other comedians agree.
This has always been the slightest of jokes. Rather silly, when you think about it. It is truly amazing what charisma and impeccable timing can do. Absolutely brilliant! Glad you enjoyed it.

It is really nice to see a generation of young people who have a great appreciation for the people that came before them and recognize the talent and have so much fun with it
I don't care how many times I hear this. It still cracks me up. It is so well written and so expertly done. Nothing, I mean NOTHING like this is done today. Most "humor" is for shock value rather than just being funny.
I don't know which is more enjoyable: watching this classic routine, or watching people discover it for the first time. Glad you guys found this gem!!!
Nice to see these two young and attractive people showing respect for generations past. Makes me think there might be some hope for this polarized and divided world.
Abbott and Costello were true comedic geniuses! My favorites! Much funnier than what passes for comedy these days! You all need to check out and react to some Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, especially the ones with Don Rickles and Foster Brooks at the mic! You won't regret it.
Those Dean Martin roasts were awesome as well, Foster Brooks tore the house down every time he appeared. The roasts of Hubert Humphrey, Jack Benny, Don Rickles, come to mind when you mentioned it. Foster had people crying from laughing so hard.
I was watching a Dodger game on tv a couple of years ago. The Dodgers had a Japanese player who last name was Hu. He got a single. While standing on first base, Vin Scully said "Folks I can finally say it" "Hu's on first"."

@@MsAppassionata There is a "Who's on first" area where you can watch this routine being performed on video.
"Who's on First?" was picked as the greatest comedy routine of the 20th century. I think it will be the greatest of all time.

Absolutely, agree. A comedic masterpiece.
I agree. I haven't seen anyone beat it. Lewis & Martin were very good as were Bing Cosby and Bob Hope. But those 2 are the best.

Of course, the other band at the concert was no other than…THE BAND!!

No doubt. I'm laughing at them laughing.

The timing and rehearsal put into gags like this was so difficult in the days of live television. These two are legendary!
True, but by the time they hit TV this bit, and all the others, must have become second nature to them. True comedy legends!
This comedy bit was written for vaudeville where it was performed before a live audience with no cameras
This was from their FILMED TV series of the early 1950s.
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello had done this comedy routine for many years. First in vaudeville, then on radio, and then on television. They also did this comedy routine on one of their part-time hosting appearances on "The Colgate Comedy Hour" on NBC.

These 2 can make you laugh till you hurt and without any bad language...thanks for the awesome reaction!
This is the GOAT of all comedy routines. I believe this is enshrined in Baseballs Hall of Fame.
It is. The only other comedian with a skit in the hall is red Skelton. Best routine ever. Abbott and Costello are the finest duo in comedy history.
@@thequixoticangler3364 personally I like the stooges more but this routine is too me the best.
Yeah the stooges are my favorite also but this is hands down the best.

For the rest of your lives, whenever you hear or say 'I don't know', you'll hear 'Third Base!
A lot of people do not realize how tough it is to be the straight man in this sketch. The rapid fire of delivered lines are so important. Bud Abbott was the greatest straight man to have ever lived.

I don't care how many times I hear this. It still cracks me up. It is so well written and so expertly done. Nothing, I mean NOTHING like this is done today. Most "humor" is for shock value rather than just being funny.
You should see the Animaniacs parody with Slappy Squirrel when they were at Woodstock :D
Slappy: "What's the name of the band on stage?"
Skippy: "Who."
*Comic hilarity ensues 😂
Slappy: Who is on stage?
Skippy: Yes.
I don't know which is more enjoyable: watching this classic routine, or watching people discover it for the first time. Glad you guys found this gem!!!
I don’t know how they could do that routine without getting all mixed up
After the first 500 times they could do it in their sleep.
Classic comedy transcends cultures and generations. I loved watching these two react to this.
They honed their act on the vaudville circuit and could do the routine in their sleep. I love seeing young folks watch and enjoy these classics.
So cool you two did this. Absolutely Brilliant these two. I grew up watching them. They were the best.
now do Tim Conway's Elephant Story
Or the firemens skit on the Carol Burnett show.
I think they'd die of laughter if they did that.
OMG! YESSS!!🤣 *NORRK!!*
i always heard "SHNORKY"
m1chale Tim Conway as the dentist sketch !
I don't know who I'm having more fun watching! Abbott and Costello or these two golks! Too funny!❤😂
Try Abbott and Costello:
Two tens for a five or
13x7=28
I'm 60, try this,with younger clerks.....
That was classic too.
Ah, the 'new' math.
7x13=28 another great skit
I never saw Two Tens for a Five, but 13x7=28 is a scream!!
I remember watching Abbott & Costello as a kid and this routine cracked me up and still does to this day. This is comic genius😂
Nice to see these two young and attractive people showing respect for generations past. Makes me think there might be some hope for this polarized and divided world.
Thank you!!!!
Being an older person, I love when you younger folks laugh, at what we laughed at so, so many years ago
Thank You
That’s comedy gold!!! Those two guys are almost at the level of the 3 stooges.
This is a classic clip. My grandfather turned red laughing everytime this was on
They never get old!
Abbott and Costello were true comedic geniuses! My favorites!
Much funnier than what passes for comedy these days! You all need to check out and react to some Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, especially the ones with Don Rickles and Foster Brooks at the mic! You won't regret it.
Shows that you don't have to use foul language or insult someone to be funny.

But when they do use profanity, it's the lazy way of getting cheap laughs! I refuse to support any of it!

I don't know...
Don "Mr. Warmth" Rickles had a pretty good shtick going. 😎😂
Mike Rogers he also called everyone a hockey puck, so you might have something there.
Those Dean Martin roasts were awesome as well, Foster Brooks tore the house down every time he appeared. The roasts of Hubert Humphrey, Jack Benny, Don Rickles, come to mind when you mentioned it. Foster had people crying from laughing so hard.
One of the best bits ever! Thanks
These two also have a routine where Lou is trying to buy something and ask for change, but Bud keeps ripping him off. Same comedic timing. Its great!
An all-time classic. A writer named John Grant wrote most of their classic routines. 80 years ago and these young people are in hysterics.
