Wish they'd make comedy sketches like they used to.

I love "Who's On First". It's one of my two favorite Abbott and Costello routines. (The other is "Sesquihana Hat Company"). When I was at Bible College a friend and I did "Whose On First " for a school talent night. I played the Lou Costello part. We had a blast!

It's not Abbott and Costello, but a few weeks ago I couldn't get Groucho Marx's "One morning I shot an Elephant in my pajamas" speech out of my head.

I love Abbott and Costello. You can keep Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler, I'll take Lou Costello any day.
I've been collecting their films in the DVD sets, their TV series, and their radio show.
Every October I watch ...Meet Frankenstein, Hold That Ghost, The Time of Their Lives, and ....Meet The Killer, Boris Karloff.
I've even got my daughter hooked on them.

Chick Young: I don't get it. Out of all the guys around here that classy dish has to pick out a guy like you.
Wilbur Grey: What's wrong with that?
Chick Young: Go look at yourself in the mirror sometime.
Wilbur Grey: Why should I hurt my own feelings?

-Lou Costello(Wilbur), and Bud Abbott(Chic Young) Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Camille: Are you a married man?
Ferdie: No.
Camille: Neither am I.
[to Chuck]
Camille: He's old enough, isn't he?
Ferdie: Oh sure I'm old enough, I play games, I play post office.
Camille: Post office? That's a kids' game.
Ferdie: Not the way I play.
