[cjdstruction1]

Best baseball arguing EVER

[killmisterbadboy]

old  is gold trust me

[blaisineful]

Best sketch ever, no question, hands down.

[E1craZ4life]

Hugh's on first.

Watt's on second.

Adan Noe's on third.

Wye is left field.

Bea Cos is center field.

Tamara's pitching to Ted Day.

Ia Dun Give Adar is shortstop.

Since right field wasn't mentioned, I'll say it's Noe Juan.

[123matster]

Hey guys! Me and my friend did "Who's on First?" for our church (Not as good as this one, because no one can do it better!) But I would love if you guys would watch it! Its on my channel as the first video! Thanks, from a fellow Abbot and Costello fan!

[BxHateMe01]

this was in 1945

[jack9146]

If you listen to the whole radio show, you will hear a warm up to this routine. In it, they discuss a game being played by the Cleveland Indians. Costello asks if there is a "feller" [fellow] pitching, to which Abbot replies, referring to Bob Feller. It is in and of itself a great routine. The commercial for Camels cigarettes is also priceless, with the announcer stating that most doctors who smoke, smoke Camels, which is in the "T" zone, "t" for taste and throat!

[TimH555]

I've played this for my kids, born in the 90s. They never heard of Abbot and Costello. They laughed and laughed at this. What timing...just amazing.

[dodgersanddragons]

This is one of the single most classic pieces of comedy history has ever produced. I personally have sit and listened to this several thousand times and still find myself laughing at it... I also share it with friends and become infected with their laughter...

[dash690813]

I was hoping this was the entire radio version with "Feller pitching?" and "a Rhinoser-rose." Can't seem to find the full version.

[xJCooksonx]

Wtf i dont get it? what player is on first base... Is it a riddle?

[DragoSonicMile]

@xJCooksonx, It's not that hard to figure out. "Who" happens to be the name of the 1st baseman. "What" happens to be the name of the 2nd baseman. "I don't know" happens to be the name of the 3rd baseman. "Why" is the name of the left fielder. "Because" is the center fielder. "Tomorrow" is the pitcher. "Today" is the catcher. Finally, "I don't give a darn" AKA "I don't care" is the name of the shortstop. The right fielder is never mentioned.

[Dockktor]

"I'LL BREAK YOUR ARM IF YOU SAY WHO'S ON FIRST!!"

[themojonator1309]

3 people are still wondering whos on first

[MrVideowisard]

i have had a very bad day and my mom told me to look this up and i laughed so hard i nearly peed myself

[Tannimd]

No matter how bad my day, I can listen to this and smile! =)

[ketankshukla]

Who!

WHO!!!!!!

hahahahahaha

[Deneb33]

This is so funny. They will be popular forever. Bud was born in the 1890's and we are still talking about him like he did this yesterday. He had a great voice too, perfect for his profession. I love Abbott and Costello, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, Laurel and Hardy, the 3 stooges, Jackie Gleason, among many others. This was the golden age.

[nwsausuke1]

so becuz right field was never named, would right field be "no name"?

[squashram24]

I have this on tape

hysterical

I don't know

THIRD BASE!!!

[BeantownJim]

[elliexx242]

''SAME AS YOU. SAAME AS YOUUU!''

[lineape]

"STAY OUTTA THE INFIELD!!!"

[BrannenSaxGuy]

[Gathol]

[caliapi]

who's on first, what's on second, i don't know's on third, left field's why, because's center field, tomorrow's pitching, today's catching, and i dont give a darn's short stop!

[Rastaman00Soul]

{There is nothing racist about the Abbott & Costello show. Don't, know why it's in here.} "This show came on TV, right after the Amos & Andy Show in New York City back in the '60s!!" {And New Yorkers, loved both of the shows!!}

[iamwhoamnot]

in where?

[jimashtube]

We sure did, Is that why Abbot and costello are nearly forgotten. an association with Amos and Andy ?

Niagra falls...... Slowly I turned....

[Hillfalls]

step by step.....inch by inch

[edulel]

NO ONE KNOW'S WHO'S ON FIRST... i am LOL

[blfd086]

No one will EVER Find out WHO'S ON FIRST.

[cadbury94]

Video or radio, they are all so funny.

[crazychick63]

i have to learn this for a skit and it is a pain to learn but im sure the people that see it are going to crack up and its good its really funny

[saldefilippojr]

my dad memorized with a friend and preformed it on a on a train because he went on a trip to the white for a tour of it that his school payd 4 he had a friend with so it worked out perfectly

[CELERY623]

I have always loved this routine, they were awesome!!!!!

[meglovesrent]

I adore this!!! I crack up everytime I hear it! Last year, my friend and I changed it up a little bit and did it for a variety show at college. We decided we were going to do it like 3 days before the show, it was a pain to learn, but it was funny and we impressed just about everybody.

[metal134]

Has anyone ever noticed how Costello gives the team four outs?

[Substitutiary]

That's assuming Because catches the long fly ball.

[sk8soldskool]

no he doesnt, throwing it to tomorrow doesn't make another out

[cryptic033]

Regardless of whether Tomorrow makes the final out, Costello does say "Triple Play", then says another guy gets up. Therefore, he does give the team four outs.

[cryptic033]

Throwing it to Tomorrow makes an out, assuming he's covering first. It doesn't matter, though - Costello specifically says "triple play" then says another batter gets up. Really the only inconsistency in the entire skit.

[h3llgn0m3]

The only position player they don't give the name of in this skit is the Right Fielder.

[newbatgirl]

There was a game version of this skit and I think in that version, they named the RF 'Nobody'

[TheMikester307]

And, on this team, tell me the guy who looks after the players if they get hurt?

Doctor Who.....

[MikeAtomic10]

fucken hilarious!!! what a classic!

[frankintosh0420]

Doesn't matter if you like it or not, you don't find clean skits for family environments like this anymore. Hats off to these 2, my dad introduced me to this when I was under 10, we both laughed together.

[pharaoh2099]

Abbot and Costello are still funny! I never laughed so hard than watching "who's on first"

great episode!

[roncronton]

Could listen to this nonesense all day...priceless

[ctomkin]

This is definitely the best version. Anyone know what year this actually is from? Hard to believe that Costello has been dead for nearly 50 years...

[alejandroomi]

According to Wikipidea, this was an old routine from the days of Vaudeville at the turn of the century 1900's. Abbot and Costello discovered the material and revamped it to include the names of the popular players on the 1930's. In 1938 it was broadcasted over a one of the popular radio shows (apparently this very recording) and the rest is HISTORY! I placed the recording here in YouTube so that over 10,000 people so far could enjoy it!

[hdzavalanche]

@ctomkin Yeah, agreed. This is definitely the best, most funny version. :)

[alejandroomi]

I totally agree, it was the original radio broadcast! Thanks for the comment.

[cmfox3]

This is the most awesome of all their "Who's on First" routines. Short, concise, and the delivery is perfect.

[jiggy410]

good times

[alejandroomi]

Truly, 'THE GOOD OLD DAYS'!

[coltino99]

whenever i hear this on my satellite radio, i [lay it back at least once to hear it again cuz it was so funny. the funny thing was when i first heard it in 2nd grade (im 20 now) we all understood it we didnt have a problem on our hands. lol

[gconnor2]

Not the best version of this sketch. The video version I think are the best

[alejandroomi]

My version is the original 'radio broadcast', much older than the "film" (video) version. It still a real genius of a sketch!

[angelbaby39]

it waz ok'
