Abbott & Costello: "Two Tens for a Five"

[Natenator77]

My favorite version:

Get a friend to put $10 in a matchbox, you also put $10 into the same matchbox. Leave the matchbox around and come back to it after a few minutes of talking. Ask them how much is in it. They should say $20. Then you say, ok there's $20 in the box, if you give me $15 I'll give you the box and the $20 inside. They say, DEAL! You profit $5. Can be done w/ more cash if you care.

LMFAOOOO

[Berger4182]

Well ..... It actually looks like $45 went south

[E1craZ4life]

Usually this is done with three people; Abbott, Costello, and someone else. The third swap occurs between Costello and the third person. "You did it to me--" ... "...and he did it to me, too!"

[SilverPandaNinja]

How the crap did i get here?!..

[memphisbandman]

[zdo]

[rob2049]

[centurion5300]

[alpha3507]

I love these guys but i don't get what is wrong.

[BlacKnightRising]

@alpha3507 it's simple abbott asks Costello for 2 "tens" for a 5 dollar bill, see that? then he says allright here's ur 5, now give me back my 2 tens....think it over hehe

[rm630610]

@alpha3507 If you don't see what's wrong, maybe you could give me two 10's for a 5?

[Blessbybeer]

[lolipop4421]

[VycDarkshadow]

@lolipop4421 one five for two tens. he's trading 20 bucks for 5 bucks!

[E1craZ4life]

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me; fool me three times and my name is Idiot McGee.

[dracontamer]

[showstopper316]

is this from one of their films or is it from a comedy special?

[Headsetphobias]

Abbott and Costello: they make their own rule for math, then break them

[luvstartnshit]

You just have to love the reactions and laughter of Lou, It would have been great to be alive back then to witness these guys live. For those who may not know, google abbott & costello Lou the sailor & The Andrews BROTHERS and listen to those 2 radio programs, they are complete classics & hilarious as well, some of the jokes they used I was kind of surprised that they got away with waaaay back then.

[TheZero4life]

[juliedrill]

my fave part was "heres your five give me back my 2 tens"

[RunningCommentaries]

I'm pretty sure what he means by "clean" comedy is that it isn't filled with profanities, sexual inuendos, and vulgar material. Poking fun at scam artists does not make this "unclean".

[a1rh3add]

As much as people say clean comedy I have to argue. This is really dirty comedy. They are acting like scam artists taking advantage of people limited thought. I do like this humor better than the lame observation comedy that is way too popular today. Plus its way better than fart jokes but remember this isn't really clean comedy.

[AwesomeMan295]

This is where they got drake and josh from

[3Nails1Cross4Given]

Hilarious!!!! Bring back the days of clean comedy!!!

[kyliemurphysux]

"the guy with the hat" lol where you born in the stone ages

[gster391]

Ahahahahahaha. He's totally ripping him off. And yeah, that'd be a really easy way to get rid of the national debt.

[TheBlackBloodAlchemi]

I love these guys, they're both hilarious XD

[PhantomSavage]

[Uzianium]

[PokerJoker811]

Ten minutes with Bud Abbott and a Chinese dignitary,the national debt is gone.

[SpartanfighterX10]

@PokerJoker811 A Chinese What? Did you mean dictionary?

[Arrested101]

@SpartanfighterX10 nope he meant what he said with dignitary - a person considered to be important because of their high rank.

[SpartanfighterX10]

@Arrested101 Thank you. I guess we learn something new everyday. lol

[SORANAMA]

[hunter567890]

[JOZZIE52]

@SORANAMA Apparently you havent watched 13*7=28 then... he wins in that one... sort of lol

[E1craZ4life]

@SORANAMA He can prove 7 x 13 = 28.

[zfalcon44]
