By far my favorite comedy team- their movies(even their weaker movies are entertaining), their TV series, and the last few years I've been collecting their radio shows.
If you get a chance watch their Christmas Special they did for Colgate Comedy Hour- Lou breaks the 4th wall like nobody else. Here's some of my favorite moments: Who's On First(From Naughty Nineties '45- the first on screen appearance of this skit) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sShMA85pv8M Numbers Game(From Buck Privates) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xpTjMhdIA0&feature=related Money Swapping(From Abbott and Costello Meet The Invisible Man) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTPPex4fS4s&feature=related Give Me My Money(From One Night At The Tropics- their first film appearance) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAgPOPtxRVs&NR=1 13 X 7 is 28(From In The Navy, this bit was also done in Little Giant) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo4NCXOX0p8&feature=related 
What are your favorite movies of theirs, or favorite moments? |

I grew up on them too. I think the first film of theirs I saw was Abbott and Costello Go To Mars.

There is absolutely no comedy team that is or was even close to Abott and Costello.
THE definition of classic comedy. |

I agree w/ you all, I'm a true and BIG fan ...
I love the way that I can just think about their classic skits and rapport ...  ... And just begin to laugh out loud!
Such a treasure of a pairing, things like that are just special gifts, moments and chemistry that NEVER repeats! You've done some GREAT links, nice Cinema up in here ... To the sheer once in a lifetime, comedic genius and joy that isAbott and Costello ...

And if it wasn't for them, most of the Vaudeville skits would have been forgotten.

A great scene from The Noose Hangs High '48- one of their more underrated flicks.

Very funny sandwich routine(from Keep 'Em Flying. Martha Raye in the role of the twins)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f1zuw5Ha18 Costello: He's gonna make a wonderful husband. Abbott: You don't even know what a husband is. Costello: A husband is what's left of a sweetheart after the nerve has been killed. - One Night At The Tropics('40) |

Lou tries to tell a joke:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQavdaBfn9w&feature=related Chick Young(Bud): You know the old saying? Everything comes in threes. Now suppose a third girl should fall in love with you? Wilbur Grey(Lou): What's her name? Chick Young: We'll say her name is Mary. Wilbur Grey: Is she pretty? Chick Young: Beautiful! Wilbur Grey: Naturally, she'd have to be. Chick Young: Now you have Mary, you have Joan, and you have Sandra. So, to prove to you that I'm your pal, your bosom friend, I'll take one of the girls off your hands. Wilbur Grey: Chick, you're what I call a real pal... you take Mary. -Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein |
