Abbott & Costello Farm Routine

[Joez86]

Fields was great. Very talented man.

[obertite]

I'm 104 years old and love this show. Shut the fuck up, no one cares how old you are.

[IRoosterManI]

im 23 yrs old and LOVE this show! If only i had a girl my age who cared about these good old days =)

[VIDEOHEREBOB]

And Zingo you're ready for breakfast....Fields was so underrated.

[mikebgoode005]

I'll just have a piece of toast I don't want to waste any time

[mikebgoode005]

Sid Fields a real comic

[Bunkerlab19]

Farmville gameplay right here

[TheVirajster]

Any chance you have COMPLETE episodes? Their first season were their best comedic output. This humor is really needed now & cannot be imitated...thx!

[IaMDahhV]

@Rolex452 completely agree with your statement. Unfortunately comedy is nothing like it used to be; these guys were geniuses.

[E1craZ4life]

All that work just for three square meals a day.

[Cheespuffs45]

I started watching these from my parent's who's on first vhs tape years ago in elementary school. I had taste back then :P

[tastyfrzz]

Yeah, that about sums up farm life.

[lightsshade]

Inlove this stuff

[rolex452]

After seeing all the nice comments from younger viewers (Lou Costello died in 1959),on this A&C skit and many others, I'm glad that their comedy lives on. This was a different kind of comedy from what younger people know today, comedy that everybody could watch because it was clean, it didn't insult anyone, and it made sense in a nutty sort of way. Enjoy!

[combatcomingforyou]

i wish i was around back when they were on air but since im 14 kinda impossible

[jaylynbob]

I bought the whole box set of the TV show about 2 years ago.I love it!!! Use to love watching it as a kid,and every now and then I will go back and watch a few discs,and have a great laugh!!!

[HRS7Shots]

Lou is getting hungary listening to him

[holycrapolly]

Can't imagine that show without the great Sid Fields !

[Psychorror]

Having lived on a farm, I can see why country folk deride us city-slickers as wimps. I probably gained 50 pounds of muscle workin' out there.

[williamforbes]

That's all I do is eat. LOL

[pnull]

Their TV show was actually funnier than their movies. By the way, many people don't know that A&C were the #1 box office stars in America for many years.

[GregLee63]

Love it ! 

[Nickcat5]

How unfortunate that the Comedy Routines like this are truly something of the past.

[Shadowcontheoriginal]

Pretty cool when youre watching abbot and castello and you also see the principal from back to the future. FUCKING AWESOME

[pennless8]

Sean Hannity

[11FrenchFry]

man im glad my dad kept his old videos of Abbot and Costello. I'm fourteen and i have seen a lot of Abbot and Costello. BEST COMEDY TEAM EVER

[hugatag]

FARMING = Not far from the truth!

[EducatedBlonde]

That's how my day goes everyday! LOL!

[ACHNACONE]

haha.. really clever... sounds familiar as well!!

[JustAGuyNamedSteve1]

another priceless scene from the golden age of comedy

[Benzer3]

there like the modern version of laurel and hardy

[weckar]

Fixing the tractor daily?

[ethen24]

(@ weckar)

Must be a crappy tractor!  lol

[nowhere8]

haha

[FrozenDrink]

While browsing around Youtube a couple of days ago, I stumbled across "Abbott and Costello 7x13=28" and I started loving them. I'm only 17 and I honestly didn't think I would enjoy these old comedies. I wish I could watch the whole show. ):

[Marvcohen]

These DVD's are for sale all over the place.

[denglish5]

search there movies on the enternet and you might be able to get them

[Lukelovesthelord]

@FrozenDrink You can watch them on netflix. Check out "the noose hangs low" Im 25 and also jsut discovered them. Soo funny :P

[levanyzzuf]

If you think about it doesn't really take too much time to do this stuff.

[MrWesdotcom]

People who refuse to watch this because it's old really don't know what they're missing. They don't make comedy like this anymore.

[USAJoseph]

Wish they did

[USAJoseph]

@USAJoseph make shows like this

[MrWesdotcom]

@USAJoseph Yeah, you're exactly right. I mean, there is some comedy out now that I enjoy, but nothing ever comes close to these guys, and I can't understand why so many young people can't enjoy it cause it's old. I'm nineteen years old, and been a fan since I was twelve, so if I can like them despite the age, I don't see why other people my age won't even give them a try.

[sirtinycreep]

@MrWesdotcom You have good taste.

[MrWesdotcom]

@sirtinycreep Thank you. Last night, my parents and I had a night of classic comedy. First we watched an hour long DVD of Tim Conway skits, then we watched an hour long DVD of Abbott and Costello skits. Lets just say that with both DVDs, it was about a hundred laughs a minute.

[Insanity0107]

@ MrWesdotcom

I have done that with my girlfriend long ago, it is indeed amazing to watch those old comedy sketches

[MrWesdotcom]

@ Insanity0107

It really is. Comedies just aren't as funny as they were in those days. There were a lot of great comedians that were better than any comedian today, but Abbott and Costello were the best of the bunch, in my opinion.

[VIDEOHEREBOB]

@MrWesdotcom You are so, so, right.

[kevdor79]

Do you know why they don't show them on tv anymore because they are very clear now kids want dirty jokes

[tomkes100]

[leafyutube]

Great punch line by Lou.

[keephustlin]

all I do is eat! hahahah....

[VIDEOHEREBOB]

Sidney Fields was great. Does anyone have any videos of Sidney Fields by himself?

[envision43]

wow! fields timing and execution is right on target, let alone everything he's saying... f------ amazing! Shit! only time to put a little piece of butter on the toast lou says!!!!! where do you see comedy like this nowadays!!! long live these guys!!!

[LaughClub]

Fields was a master of "talking on the skull" - a burlesque comic's term for talking at length to the other comic's mugging, when what needed was to stretch out a sketch time wise. This happend at an offstage signal when a girl wasn't ready, or scenery was stuck, anything that needed wait time. The art was, not just to kill time - but make it funny, if not in content, in rythm & presentation. Some of the riffs became so popular they were kept in even when not needed. Sid Fields was the best!

[jackwbb]

love that sow and them guys

[Zerathil]

And how many hours is there per day when you work on a farm? 720? ._.

[xJustDontBiteItx]

"Then you gotta fix the tractor!! Takes 3 or 4 hours to fix the tractor!!" God that line cracks me everytime...

[hansfriess]

what video is this from?

[54spiritedwill54]

SID FIELDS WAS AMAZING

[BackToTheBlues]

I liked it when Sid Field played the tramp in "Sloooowly I turned..." My dad's favourite Abbott and Costello sketch, that was!

[LethalWerewolf]

"All I do is eat." was like the best line there(in my opinion) I laughed hard....

[envision43]

Fields was the ultimate. His timing and delivery in this scene was right on target.

I could watch this clip over and over.

[harrypier]

I've changed my mind, I'm not buying any farm, ....phew !

[Jbelll990]

lol its actually not that bad (if you've had your coffee)

[SuperGlucose]

:and ZINGO, you're ready for breakfast."

Best line in the whole thing.

[alpiggy123]

wow...

[jposkitt]

omg i laughed til i cried watching this!!

[789trebor]

Sid Fields rules!!!!

[sirtinycreep]

Lou looks so fed up. LOL. His facial expresssions. LOL.

[bigwillietheb]

too much fuckin work in one day

[EquestrianKingdom]

city folk don't know what they're missin out on :P

[ety8keyz]

Mr Fields was the best

[Schwarznasen]

I agree! Such a great talent.

[LivingDog94]

This is my favorite scene with Mr. Fields. But they all were great talents. Watch the "Who's on First?" routine for perfect timing. Thanks for posting! 5*

BTW, wasn't there more to this scene?

[Schwarznasen]

That's all I do is eat...classic!

[LivingDog94]

LOLOL! That's all I do is eat.

[tnpan]

ZINGO!

[bob27f]

Buy the DVDs, esp. first set. I love it when they leave the apartment, with Mr. Fields complaining about how they haven't paid their rent in 8 weeks, and then they go to the circus, and the circus barker is Mr. Fields playing another character. That always had me on the floor. Best show ever.

[oakroyal]

Where's Hillary's fadda and Bingo?

[marie4poche]

"That's all I do is eat" lol

[MutantLarva]

i love that line...that's my favorite..i want to make up a t-shirt with a photo of them from this clip...and it would say on the shirt...and zingo you're ready for dinner...all i do is eat...

marie you may be the perfect woman..if you like to cook and clean and are a whore in the bedroom who wont bust my balls when i go out with my friends and u find this clip funny..i will marry you on the spot...

[rexydad]

I forgot the genius sound man, and the opening line of the 1st show, "How dare you remind me of somebody I hate." Then the lady hits Lou with her pocket book. Shades of Ruth Buzzy.

[rexydad]

This show was possibly one of the best sitcoms of all time. A top notch cast, Lou was wonderful, Abbott the greatest straight man, Sid in a class by himself (I knew him, he wrote some comedy for our lounge act in Vegas)Mike, Besser, Hilary, Bacciagalupe, the 1st guy in the Flugal street routine. I loved all the charactors.

[sirtinycreep]

How does the bald guy remember all that. LOL.

[bob27f]

He wrote the sketch. He was a brilliant writer and performer.

[BluegooseCT]

Sidney Fields was THE MAN

[sirtinycreep]

Man, that is so funny. LOL

[mokuteki33]

so that's what melon head looks like ;)

[sirensplash9]

ahahaahhaaaa.

[MutantLarva]

"all i do is eat"....lmfao

[eddwould]

frist get up at about let's say 3 O'clock in the Morning. Next milk 30-40 cow,carry in 15-20 buckets of water from the well,cut down a tree and make 15-25-30 quarts of fire wood.then feed 200 or 300 chickens and 50-60 goats and you slop the hogs and ZINGO your realy for B-frast

[georgebettinger]

SID FIELDS WAS AMAZING

[YOSKIBROSKI]

ZINGO

[LeBronForTheWin]

the only parts i would do of all of this is:

ur ready for breakfast...

ur ready for lunch...

and ur ready for supper

LOL

[fiddlerwolf]

eh, I think I would feed the livestock too...

[LkOutMtnMan]

I grew up doing farm/cattle work, some of the hardest work I ever did. I still can't look a bale of hay in the face! Ha!

[KnoxYouth]

I can agree with that! I work with this older guy once in a while. Usually, in the weening of the calves section. Once in a while, we build a temp electric fence. By the way, this is in IA and a lot of flat ground. It's always fun to chase after 'em.

This summer I'll be helping him bale hay. Gotta toss the square bales along with this wagon. Good way to make some extra cash and to get some extra muscle!

[LkOutMtnMan]

I learned later that our football couch got three of us football players this job! No wonder the ranch foreman worked us like dogs! We did have a good team though, finished 6th in state! Guess hauling hay did help! I could do without the snakes bailed up and bumblebees' nest in the barn!

[KnoxYouth]

Wow, that's cool.I'll keep an eye out for the snakes and bees!

[envision43]

These guys were amazing. I could watch this clip several times a day. Actually puts a little pep in your step to go about your daily life, at work, stuff to do around the house, trips to home depot and back, etc...

[1975tooto]

A fine human being!!From my hometown Paterson NJ!! Thanx for the free tickets,the Pool and the Boys CLUB!! We miss you Lou!!

[pjsivart143]

I never get tired of this video-I watch it on average of once a week.Fields was amazing!

[zatsby]

that sounds about right.

[ChubbyCheckerChannel]

What a great show! Mr Fields was the best!

[Glr31]

Classic ha ha !! About the size of it

[dannylack57]

The great beauty of this fabulous 2 season A&C filmed tv series, was it incorporated all of their great classic routines developed over so many years, with out the unnecessary side stuff that filled their movies..Sid Fields was so underrated as a performer..his timing was perfect..As funny as the Seinfeld show was, i was always pleased that Jerry continously credited the Abbott & Costello tv show, as being a huge influence on him and co-creator Larry David!

[LEROTHECAT]

dannylack57 - Sidney Fields was GREAT! I agree with you 100%. This was a very underated show. Their sense of humor was off the wall with characters like Stinkey and Mike the cop, Baccagalup and all the others.

Sidney was the best though and fit like a glove between Abbott and Costello.

[condensedclassics]

Seinfeld & Larry David respected the old vaudeville comedians such as Sid Fields, Abbott& Costello & the rest of the greats. Seinfeld and Curb episodes use many old comedians, Shelly Berman & the late Louis Nye appeared on Curb, as has Jerry Stiller & others regularly on Seinfeld.

[envision43]

class! simply class!! these guys were amazing...the timing, let alone execution of the delivery was all pure genius... this particular scene absolutely blew away!!! Long live and God bless sid fields, bud and lou...

no one today, no one, comes close to this.

[horarwgt]

Sid Fields was a comic genius who not only played mutliple roles on the A&C series but also wrote many of the best episodes. It's a tragedy that, other than the A&C show and a few appearances with Jackie Gleason, Sid hardly ever appeared on TV and is in very few films. When he did appear though, he WAS the whole show.

[outfitmadeofawesome]

I'm loving this because it seems to tap into what is actually funny.

Modern day comics seem to all be about the obscene, jokes on sex, and drugs, and race...

But I love this because, personally, I'd much rather laugh at cows, and baseball games, and math equations then sex, drugs, and racist joke anyday.

[brooklynheart]

I agree with latebar2000 - these guys were classic and brought true laughter into our homes. I love comics of today - big time, but nothing and no one will ever compare to the shows and comics we grew up with. I miss them, I really do - thanks for sharing.

[chengloki]

Makes me glad I was a city boy!!! =Stefan=

[dodgerfanatico]

brings back the best memories, thanks

[fromthesidelines]

I believe this routine was "borrowed" from their radio show. ZINGO! Still funny!!

[latebar2000]

I'd like to see any and I mean any of the actors of today try to do this. It would never happen.

[exlester]

thank you

[elkunt]

I guess this is why i am not a farmer!

[happysjud]

Gee ... I forgot how funny Sidney Fields was. He was my favorite in the show. What a cast of characters --- A&C, Fields, Hillary Brooks, Mike the Cop, Mr. Bacciagalupe, and Stinky!

[karch139]

Sid Fields was one of the greatest comedians who ever lived. We used to like him as much as A&C.

[Bopalena]

Sid Fields was a genius and he wrote most of the material on that TV series.

[JohnFPorcaro]

Thanks for this.

Professor Mellonhead routine was a great on also.

And of course Hillary's father & the piano.

[iiducekingz]

nothing funnier than these guys!
