[612gideon]

 Great Video

[DudeGuyPerson64]

Most clever thing ever written ever, ever.

[Yoshistar81]

Our language arts teacher showed this to us today.

[sunnygrace57]

I had a similar conversation with my grandparents a couple weeks ago. We said "We saw the movie In Bruges last weekend." "What was it called?" "In Bruges." "I know you were in Bruges, but what was the movie called?" "No, we watched it at home." "I thought you went to Bruges." "We did, but we saw the movie this weekend."

[juliaml731]

How could you dislike this......

[juliaml731]

@xXXReaper100xXx

"I don't know" is on third base.

[Wo0DZiE]

so who is on first???

[fabulousRachel11]

@Wo0DZiE YES

[lexiichristina]

My third grade teacher played this for us as a listening comprehension test on April Fools... I will never forget that day.. I was so scared I was going to fail haha.

[KL31NGR055]

This is Hilarious...

[DioRicky]

NERDCAST FOREVER! não entendi nada do vídeo e nem das regras de Baseball!!

Whatever!

[mmsegundo]

@DioRicky O nome do primeira base é Quem, da segunda é O Quê e o da terceira é Eu Não Sei.

[henrique88t]

Every time I come back to this video I'm always watching it some ten times straight.

[deleyguitar]

NERDCAST me trouxe até aqui rs

[itzWiLLiaM]

Nerdcast \\//_

[elliottower123]

LOL best video ever.

reminds me of the book "where the sidewalk ends".

ahh... second grade

[welalanne]

does such a voice to text program exist where, when it is read back, each word pops out?

[elliottower123]

@welalanne it's not nearly that easy... you have to animate all of the words

[welalanne]

each syllable pops out with audio, allowing late readers to make associations needed to pick up reading quickly

[welalanne]

what software could be used to make a simpler version of this for educational purposes?

[jamesmoisson]

that is the absolute most painful redition i have ever heard? u have remastered the master! kudos!

[TheyWantToBeFriends]

you should call youtube about this copyright bullshit u might loos ur partnership.

[ToeKnee0126]

The fonts you picked for their voices were perfect.

[DavidLikeNoOther]

"Who" is on first base.

"What" is on second base.

"I don't know" is on third base.

lol. Annoying huh? :)

[xXxReaper100xXx]

"who" is on first,

"what" is on second? (i think)

and "he" is on third...

mind fucked much?

[Vir7ualGFX]

i crack up every time i watch this

[1900librarian]

That was neat :)

[firzennet]

im laughing at this LOL

[Dekulink333]

Now I love Abbott and Costello as much as the next guy, but these typographic videos are all very stupid, generic, and unoriginal.

[MegaPhoenixman]

I'm on right ;D

[0xXUlquiorraXx4]

haha epic win XD

[XperfectdazesX]

So much win! =D

[MarioFreek01]

Fuckin' HI-LA-RI-OUS, the typography makes it even funnier!

[POSTALIFE]

[augtheskater]

[halonooblolz]

[Valkodu]

@halonooblolz "Who" is the name of the first baseman, "What" is the name of the second, "I Don't Know" is the name of the third.

[NeverEndingPromises]

I LOOOVE Abbott and Costello :P <3

[chucklaw]

[ItzRender]

Who gets the money? Every dollar of it.

[HalfPieProductions]

[SuperRollyTrolly]

@xMeGaTroNz I see you are begging for views on your stupid channel, which is stupid. But that's okay, because you like that stupid game.

[TheTravis88]

Loved it !!!! Still the best comedy bit !!! Those guys were the best !!! Nice work on the video as well !!!

[cannonball251]

LOL I really love that one. It was done so well, :)

[genibeavan]

I hadn't heart hat before and that. Was. Hilarious.

[BaxterHD]

OMFG AMAZING! :D

[CaptCooldude]

You won't hear something like THAT on Saturday Night Live.

[SerbianAmp]

One of the greatest skits known to mankind.

[aimanazlan90]

Best skit ever.

[Dionn91]

hey what typeface did you use for the motion graphics? it looks like you used 2 typefaces.

[GeneralJAOV]

Classic...

[BEASTpoint]

While youre dying I'll be still alive

[silntinsnty]

still funny...... after all these years, it's still funny. this is comedy GOLD

[SuperBluHedgehog]

I'm trying to remember the third outfielder's name. Does anyone know? I do know Why and Because, but what is the name of the third outfielder? (and I know...What's on Second)

[mrich1976]

@SuperBluHedgehog

The right fielder is never mentioned in the skit.

[AlanRickmanfan12]

they don't make comedy like this anymore

[Ukrainian11]

[7255202]

@Ukrainian11 主席 總統 大總統

[legospike]

1st:Who

2nd:What

3rd:I Don't Know

And in the tv version:

Pitcher:Tommrow

Catcher:Today

Shortstop:I Don't Care

(And I don't care! What? I don't care! OH that's our shortstop! Eee eee eee

[acydocom]

great job =)

[MetlabBob]

Very well done!

[mdemaine]

For an animation made solely of type, it is disappointing that the correct glyph for the apostrophe was not used.

[marlymarable]

@Jimmy073 can u send me this text...im trying to find a short version of it please!! :D

[woohoo9510]

i love this routine

[pau57]

awesome typography animation :D

[sirMAXX77]

66 ppl need their funny bone checked.

[almatric]

Who's on First never gets old. Ever. It is one of the most brilliantly conceived and written bits of comedy.

Your Kinetic Typography goes well with, and is a very, very nice piece of work.

[Lanthanideatoms]

"WHO" is the guy's name!

[Bl4ckM4gic037]

Ive never heard this bit before. I've seen it mentioned and thought it sounded stupid...I was so wrong.

[joaoppdarocha]

66 people dont know what is the name of the guy on second

[gilmourish]

ahaha the animation is pretty funny. this is one of the most entertaining typography videos i've ever seen :)

[clay4647931]

i would show this to my little cousins, just to frustrate them.

[nomusician]

The names are Watt, Hu

[steviesteveo1]

"Whos On First, copyright and used by permission with TCA Television Corp., Hi Neighbor and Diana K. Abbott-Colton"

[michaelcaboose1]

Rooster teeth

[sqhschief]

@michaelcaboose1 ???

[superfanofmk]

MY BRAIN HURTSSSSS lol

[JamesArnoldTaylor]

Brilliant work! Classic bit with a classic twist, you've got a gift with the typography! Thanks for putting that together!

[loser0seven]

63 people don't know whos on first.

[RogueHD]

I LOVE THIS!

[Itsuya69]

This one helped me understand what was I laughing about this.

[nycpd75]

is this from a movie or something ? pleas give the source !

[Jimmy073]

@nycpd75 It's an Abbott and Costello routine.

[Miracle490d]

@Jimmy073 That is so funny you should've done the whole routine though. Too bad you stopped. I love the typography effects.

[Jimmy073]

@Miracle490d It just pretty much repeats the same kind of thing. It would've gotten repetitive. Always leave 'em wanting more!!

[Miracle490d]

@Jimmy073 yes it does have repitition, but they kept it changing. if it ever got boring, it would not have been their most famous bit.

who signs the reciept. He throws the ball to Naturally, and I don't give a darn.

[BlueManIan]

@Jimmy073 Until the punchline!

[edusuntrebor]

@Jimmy073 For the record, I think it featured in one of their movies. ^.^

[TehShrike]

@nycpd75 This is from their radio program (where the routine originally aired).

The routine also appeared in several of their movies, including The Naughty Nineties.

[weinmanjoe]

@nycpd75 This skit was from the radio befor television

[nycpd75]

@weinmanjoe hehe thats awesome this really funny

[tehsophmeistah]

64 People Didn't Get It

[tehsophmeistah]

[xVoqaL]

[Shoesonify]

[JSayMotion]

[SuperDrumio6t4r]

64 people don't know who's on Home.....no wait.

[vikingwarbrides]

Thanks now I have to change my pants..... And wipe the yogurt off of my screen.

Thanks for the laugh!!!

[insanitystylez]

WHOOOOS ON FIIISRT WTF 

[MichaelNahrilas]

63 people think Hu's on first and not Who.

[RomanticLinguaphilia]

That was quite cool :-)

[scarletavenge]

Part of my assignment in Type class was to watch motion typography videos.

Best. Assignment. Ever.

Oh, and this is my favorite motion type video, BY FAR. =)

[Gilari]

You need to do the whole skit. So good!!

[ahtartersauce101]

I wish he would've finished the whole thing it would be dare i say it EPIC WIN!!!

[Stevesk0011]

*Well I was pretty accomplished??!?!?

[fiyonafiyona]

do u have a tutorial on this?

[NinjaGirl2646]

haha i guess this is where rush hour 3 got the idea of Mi and Yu from.. this is hillarious

[Mechanical1Midget]

im guessing he called who?

[youastonishme]

This is funny! And that's already a huge thing to say when all you see are words and you just hear two people talking. I guess they were comedians and this is part of their comedy show? Am i right?

[Espyyyyy]

@youastonishme, That's right! And think of it, Abbott and Costello is really old. I were really amazed to find out that it's just as funny, if not even funnier than comedy now-a-days. Of course the typography does its job, but still!

[2054890]

THIS IS THE BEST Typography I HAVE SEEN! Apart from the funniness factor, the video is very, very, very well made. I envy your skills.

[Sarochka]

Excellent font choice and wonderful character in the placement. Really stands out amongst other kinetic typography pieces, brilliantly polished.

[TheLukesWorld]

Great stuff man. I love the Abbott and Costello routines! Their the best ever!

[msMaliia]

that's awesome! :D

[XxSeshirxX]

with wich program you did it?

it is incredible!!! love it!!

[Talik13]

That was Amazing! Very well timed and animated in various ways made it perfect! I keep watching it

(also, it makes more sense being able to see/read the words)
