First Time Hearing Abbott & Costello Who's On First Reaction - ARE THESE GUYS THE COMEDIC ORIGINALS?

This act never gets old. Their timing was perfect.

The best routine ever. Fun fact , a few years the Yankees had a player named Hu. He hit a single and the announcer said he has waited his lifetime to say Hu is on first

Fun Fact: Abbott & Costello are the only two people who are in the Baseball Hall of Fame who have no association with the sport. I honestly can not count how many time I've watch this skit & laughed every time !!! Great reaction video you two. Keep it going !!!

This routine is a classic. It is gold.!! It moves rather fast at times so pay attention. I think they were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame with this skit in 1956. The first "non-baseball celebrities ever to be inducted...

The "retired actor" in the front row that suggests they di the baseball routine and hands Costello the props is none other than THE GREATEST voice actor of all time, Mel Blanc. He was the voice for EVERY cartoon character you can name (well it's estimated he did 90%). Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety Pie, Sylvester, Foghorn Leghorn, and the Road Runner to name a few.

They do have several great skits. A couple of my favorites: "7 times 13 = 28" "2 Tens for a 5." As you said great chemistry and humor based on word play. Although some of their movies did have great situational humor as well. Fun reaction.

They performed in over 30 comedy movies over a 20 year period and also performed on 2 TV Shows (Colgate Comedy Hour and the Abbott and Costello Show) followed by an animated series and a comic book series following Lou's early death. they had soooooo many skits that all entertain modern audiences even in this day. Some of their best include 7X13=28, the Dice Game, Loafing, 2 Dimes for a Nickel, the Sasquehanna Hat Company, Niagara Falls and Alexander 2222.

It's always amazed me that Abbott and Costello somehow managed to do this entire skit in 1 take, it took me 5 watches to notice the camera never cuts away after they get started. Pure comedic gods, they don't have anything like that these days😅😅😢😢

This made my day. I've probably seen this 1000 times and it still makes me laugh.

Abbott and Costello are brilliant there timeless. I showed there act to my sons and even they loved it and it never gets old

This great routine was placed in the baseball Hall of Fame, I believe, in Cooperstown, in 1956. It just never gets old.

I've been listening to this bit for almost 50 years now, and I still laugh. Glad you guys liked it.

This is so timeless. It's so funny no matter how many times you see it. I was about 7 or 8 the first time I saw this, and I laughed so hard it hurt. I'm 54 now, and it's still a laugh out loud skit.

Hearing it the first time, you realize it's funny. Hearing it a few more times, you realize it's absolutely BRILLIANT!

This is certainly their most famous routine. It was so intricate that they had to have practiced it on numerous occasions. Lou's delivery is so fast. He was also a fine dramatic actor.

It’s amazing how well that holds up. It would definitely be difficult to do. I loved it 😊

Thank you. My Dad loved this routine. He was never one to laugh out loud. Would usually just grin if he liked something. I remember watching him watch this. Great memory!

heard it heaps of time when i was a kid! my old man loved it... old memories of Dad come flooding back. thanks for the memories! ❤

Great Reaction...... Abbott And Costello were a Comedy Duo that started in Vaudeville, Travelling Stage Shows, that tranistioned into Movies/Film. Abbot and Costello even had a TV show in the 1950's...... Other acts that took a Similiar Path are: Laurel and Hardy, Marx Brothers, The 3 Stooges........ In 2006 a Major Leauge Player named Hu, Got a base hit and the announcer had the presence of mind to say on-air "It only took 70 years, but Hu is on First." Some of Abbot and Costello's Skits include, "7x13=28" and "Loafing".

This has all the elements of what comedy is; rhythm, timing, writing, performance, chemistry. It's spawned many inspirations over the years, but the original article always stands above.
