[Femaletaker1]

@colinrox1 this one is better

[Femaletaker1]

@Femaletaker1 i agree

[Theninja347]

@colinrox1 original? All the skits were live, so they were always a little different.

[Dawnchan20]

I love this skit!!!!!!!!!! my sister and i did this skit and everyone at my church loved it XD

[Flabbyflabber12]

10 people don't give a darn. Oh he's our shortstop.

[jaller11121]

this is my favorite skit, it's a classic

[VigilantRebel87]

10 people didnt throw it to Naturally

[devtrev]

This bit really doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Worst comedy team ever. They needed the Universal monsters to make them mildly entertaining.

[jr89dp]

They kind of messed it up a bit, which just makes it WAY better xP

[Railer61]

Lou Costello's on the left, Bud Abbott is on the right.

[TheCeltics205]

which one is abbott?

[loadedjogger]

930 people throw the ball to Naturally

[Kelinth]

this is classic comedy...excellent skit.

[GreenTeaFilms207]

This one is so much better than the others

[Sirromnad]

@GreenTeaFilms207 I had an old VHS tape of a bunch of skits, all the best versions of the popular ones. It was great. Somehow wrestling got recorded over it..... and i've never seen another copy again.

[YesiLoveHer57]

Who=First baseman

What=Second baseman

I don't know=Third baseman

Tomorrow=Pitcher

Today=Catcher

I don't give a darn=Shortstop

Why=Left Fielder

Because=Centerfielder

Some team :)

I love this!

[inuyashax25]

@YesiLoveHer57 im curious how they did this skit without a right fielder :P. But either way, one of the most classic comedy skits in history lol

[tenorlove]

@inuyashax25 My son says the right fielder's name should be Shut Up.

[uandsforever10]

i love this, our teacher showed us this in class!!!

[Runie549]

This just absolutely made my day.

This was made well over half a century ago, and it made me rofl HARD. TODAY. Knowing this, and seeing that even the current generation can watch this and have the same reaction actually raises my faith in humanity a bit.

[StevenRWestman]

One of the funniest bits in the history of comedy AND baseball!!!

[saphireroze001]

a: who is on first.

c: WHAT ARE YOU ASK'N ME FOR?

[ThePaxel]

costello almost loses it at 4:11....lmao

[1hotsummernight]

hahaha I'm doing this for speech!

[hotgothtink4u]

OMG!!! This is HILLARIOUS!!!

[YuppieGearhead]

Hu's on first.

Right.

No, Wright's on second.

Mets commentary is going to get very tiring in a few months.

[disturbedfan890]

9 people don't know who's on first

[Theaddictiveshowdied]

D The best comedy ever made and ever will be

[Djonemore]

This is the best version

[mgmoncef4]

hell this joke is awesome

[michiganfireman1]

with spring training starting this is the best way to celebrate the season of baseball I have listen to this skit seance I was a kid LOVE IT ALWAYS from michiganfireman

[michiganfireman1]

with spring training starting this is the best way to celebrate the season of baseball I have listen to this skit seance I was a kid LOVE IT ALWAYS

[Guatebro]

My partner and I performed this for our acting class. And we got an A+ as our final. Our teacher knew about this act and told us we performed perfectly.

[zokiley]

I love this vid my s.s. Teacher showed us this and we were laughing the whole time. Sometimes old videos are very funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[goodgirly789]

Nothing like some good ol' Three Stooges. Thanks!

[danrdrewf]

@goodgirly789 Too bad this is Abbot and Costello, not the Three Stooges...

[RPtheTruth]

@goodgirly789 This is Abbott and Costello, not the Three Stooges. They were more slapstick, less lines.

[Ibanez13423]

this is the best shit since sliced bread

c:

[CRAIGakaJUNIOR]

Thanks , I needed that

[psushgirl]

this is, and always will be, the best comedy skit ever. pure genius and absolutely timeless.

[mikkyluv1]

My friend and I have this memorized, and randomly shoot this back and forth in the hallways at school. <3<3<3 Abbot and Costello!!!

[hotgothtink4u]

I grew up listening to this with my dad and we would laugh til we cryed!! I love love love this skit!!

[hotgothtink4u]

I gre up listening to this with my dad and we would laugh til we cryed!! I love love love this skit!!

[happyface4444]

Probably the greatest sketch of all time.

[happyface4444]

I would trade this for Dane Cook any day.

[ishredu]

this is even more proof of how things were done better back in the day

there isn't one comedy (eh) writer today who could even come close to this. the speed and comedy chops here are due to years on the vaudeville circuit, all the greats came through that circuit, comedy would be better if vaudeville was still happening

[Thisismyusername1010]

For those of you who are wondering, the right fielder is Costello. I'm guessing he knows his own name, so that's why he doesn't ask. (and yes, I know several of their names are in this very comment)

[DoktorSick]

The people who don't laugh at this are dead inside.

[willmymon]

clasic

[MrVideowisard]

I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN

[PotterWeasley2010]

"So I pick the ball up and I throw it to who?" "Naturally" "Who?" "Naturally" "So I pick the ball up and I throw it to Naturally.." "No, you throw the ball to Who" "Naturally" Hilarious This is the best sketch evaa!

[EnjoisGamez]

THATS WHAT IM SAYINGGG!!!!!!

[MrVideowisard]

"what the guys name on first base?" "no whats on second." "i dont know?" "third base" "all im asking is who is on second?" "no who is..." " DON'T SAY WHOS ON FIRST OR ILL BREAK YOUR LEG!" LOL

[airschut13]

i did this to my friends the other day, a couple laughed, but the others looked at me like i was high or something

[gingersnapdragonfly]

Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third, Why is left fielder, Because is center fielder, Today is catcher, Tomorrow is pitcher, and I Don't Give A Darn is shortstop. Right fielder's name?

[Overlord0011]

@gingersnapdragonfly How.

[AwesomeMan295]

@gingersnapdragonfly Yes

[Thisismyusername1010]

@gingersnapdragonfly Costello is the right fielder.

[danrdrewf]

@Thisismyusername1010 Then why wouldn't he know he teammates names?

[Thisismyusername1010]

@danrdrewf IDK, but why else would he be wearing a baseball uniform?

[danrdrewf]

@Thisismyusername1010 Because he's a fan and going to the game.

[Thisismyusername1010]

@danrdrewf Okay, maybe. We can't prove it either way, but I think it makes more sense that he would be the right fielder.

[Mattrix90]

@Thisismyusername1010 You do realize he is just a fan wanting to learn the names. He actually plays catcher (but not on this team).

[Thisismyusername1010]

@Mattrix90 Okay, sorry. We had to listen to this in school as a listening activity once (because that teacher would rather talk the entire class period than let us do anything but take notes) and he said that the right-fielder was Costello. Blame him.

[kaytlinschipper]

8 people don't deserve to live. T_____T

[winfan1978]

I can't see how someone could dislike this rountine!

[Fantasticifaction]

Why do you wanna know?

BECAUSE!

Oh he's on the field

[Fantasticifaction]

Why do you wanna know? BECAUSE! Oh he's center.

[ElenaMajor]

Love This!!! So funny!!! How did costello come up with that? its so FUNNY!!!!!

[LadyKat73]

Fantástico!!! Melhor que isso só Groucho e Chico Marx!!!!

[maroonhero]

I love when they lose character at 4:11!

[Palkia792]

hahahahahaha

[StinksOnIce22]

6 people have no clue of what funny is.

[yucchhiiowwee]

I've noticed that each time Abbott & Costello do this routine, they do it a slight bit different. BUT, either way, it still CRACKS ME UP!! Most comediens today get their influences from comediens of that day.

[vampireprinsess1]

i luv abbott & castello im like abbott. WHO"S ON FIRST, WHAT"S ON SECOND, I DON"T KNOW'S ON THIRD,WHY'S THE SHORT STOP,TOMAROW'S THE PITCHER,TODAY"S THE CETCHER, I DON'T GIVE A DARN IS THE SHORT STOP. i could listen to this all day!!! :3  :0m :)

[musicman1326]

vampireprinsess1: Why's left field. You should probably listen to it a little bit more.

[vampireprinsess1]

@musicman1326 your right i was in a hurry so i put the same thing twice sorry!!! :0

[ZekromReshiram1]

@vampireprinsess1 me to

[VideoGameHelpCentral]

Fucking' 'hillarious :)

[WSenator1]

The funny thing is that I hate Abbott and Costello. But I could listen to them doing "WOF" all day long!

[Tannimd]

No matter how many times I hear this or how bad my day is, this skit always makes me laugh.

[ZekromReshiram1]

@Tannimd same here

[xyronion]

6 people didn't get who's on first base

[happyface4444]

@xyronion WHO!

[Blueyays]

[danilynnp]

[lukec1996]

"Because!"

"Oh he's Center Fielder."

[tracychandler77]

0:12  - 0:44

[nemen87]

[6414258626]

[Bostonsx93179]

[Bostonsx93179]

[cdk2000]

The right fielder disliked this video 6 times cause they left him out.

[cdk2000]

The right fielder disliked this video 6 times because they left him out.

[brothersdude]

[Bostonsx93179]

@brothersdude naturaly

[Jimmnie1]

[BrazilLover33]

SO FUNNY LOL

[fireman10124]

this is the funniest shit ever...

[willmymon]

@fireman10124 guess they didnt lol

[rmontena]

This is such a classic, right up there with Lucy and Desi, The Three Stooges, Bill Cosby and all the others who paved the way.

[KATZMANISGOD]

nobody is in right field

[xillerrodriguez]

Which one is Abbott and which one is Costello? Anyone know?

[danNarnieNkieran4eva]

@xillerrodriguez abott is the tall skinny one and costello is the short plump one

[benchleyparker]

@xillerrodriguez Bud Abbott was the tall one and Lou Costello was the shorter one. This routine is great partially because they performed it hundreds, perhaps thousands of times over many years, traveling from town to town on the vaudeville circuit. Today, when you do something once on TV or the Internet, everybody sees it and it gets old faster, so few performers practice and get as close to perfection as Abbott and Costello did in this routine.

[tazzi06]

who like this video...

[zzzz1994able]
