The best comic routine ever and delivered by the best comedy duo ever. In my opinion. Back in 1985 at my first fantasy baseball draft, we played the song Centerfield as our Leagues National Anthem followed by this routine. Every year since when my brother and I go to our drafts, we play both of these on the drive there. Every time it leaves me in stitches.
On a side note, I love the Abbott and Costello movies, especially Hold That Ghost and They meet Frankenstein.

Those movies were a staple on the weekends at my house. Ma and pa kettle was another. Laurel and hardy as well. And of course Godzilla. Those are my childhood.

Wow. . . the few times I've watched it in recent years I wondered what was considered so funny about it in the first place. Obviously its a routine that requires a great deal of talent to pull off. Absolutely no denying that. But funny? Eh . . . of course humor is subjective. I always liked the subtlety of Laurel & Hardy much more than A&C or even the Marx Brothers.

I do recall A&C had a classic routine about the Susquehana Hat Company that was similarly considered a comedy classic.

Yah agree with Steve, not hysterical, although the first time you hear this as a kid, it is pretty funny and amazingly creative/clever.
