MovieQuotes Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Who did comedy better. I think Abbott and Costello did the best comedy routine ever with who's on first which was originally done in The Naughty Nineties movie from 1945. https://youtu.be/kTcRRaXV-fg Edited October 20, 2015 by MovieQuotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm not familiar with Laurel and Hardy's work but I found Costello to be hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Laurel & Hardy, although I much prefer The Marx Brothers myself, though Abbott & Costello meets Frankenstein is a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The three stooges rely on mostly silly slapstick but something about them is very endearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own all of their shorts on DVD (yes I'm that much of a fan). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Abbott and Costello only because I don't have much experience with Laurel and Hardy. But for the record the answer will always be the Marx Brothers Edited October 21, 2015 by DAR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All about Eve - old Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 This is almost a blasphemous question! Laurel and Hardy were genius. The other two were the cheap supermarket fizz to L & H's champagne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wadey Wilsoney Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Someone should ask Tele. He probably edited their movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I prefer Laurel & Hardy but the Who's on First bit is still the funniest thing I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
