A Funny Site of the Day with your Guide Mike Durrett


The most famous and, perhaps, the greatest comedy routine of the 20th century, as performed by its champions, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Hear the complete sketch via RealPlayer at Baseball Almanac.

There's also a text transcript included from another performance. Interestingly, while the general routine follows the same path, the small talk is quite different. It's amazing when you consider the boys' lightning fast delivery of this material and how a simple change in dialogue risks destroying the momentum and context.
