Abbot & Costello Mini-Homage

By machpie

Gotta ask…did anybody catch the A&C reference in the Baked! Ruffles post…?

If you haven’t a clue what the hell I’m on about, edumicate yourself at the Baseball Almanac’s Who’s on First page.  Seriously, one of the greatest comedy routines of all time. Audio here.

    that would be a no. my abbot and costello lexicon is pretty much non-existent.

  2. machpie Says:

    While I will continue to love and respect you, your comedic canon is woefully deficient. Get thee to a punnery!

  3. sheofmanyaliases Says:

    there are so many other things i need to be doing. i just don’t think there’s time to correct this particular issue.

    (Kinda crappy audio, might want to pop open the transcript and follow along… ; )

    I’m sorry, but no matter how nasally stuffed up you or I ever become, I will refuse adamantly to eliminate you…

    Costello: Now who’s got it?

    Abbott: Naturally.

    PAUSE

    Costello: Look, if I throw the ball to first base, somebody’s gotta get it. Now who has it?

    Abbott: Naturally.

    Costello: Who?

    Abbott: Naturally.

    Costello: Naturally?

    Abbott: Naturally.

    Costello: So I pick up the ball and I throw it to Naturally.

    Abbott: No you don’t, you throw the ball to Who.

    Just the title. Naturally…
