Unclench guys, It's not just a generational thing. I HAD to google A+C to find out who they were. History/culture has forgotten them, yet the Marx bros and Jerry Lewis are still funny. I found another reference that stated their one joke [who's on first?], was pirated from another pair named George and Gracie Burns ?.

You mean George Burns and Gracie Allen....please please please, show me your source,where did you get your info from, cause never ever ever did I hear that A&C stole Who's on First from them.....That's a new one on me......History Has forgotten them? you need to double check your facts cause they are not forgotten....

Funniest ****ing post since 1994!!!!

That's a Shame......I'd Love to own A&C merchandise......it's no wonder modern kids don't know who many of the older comedians are. Our generation was exposed to them all the time and even if we knew they were from another time, the work was still funny..

I think stuff like this is usually exposed to kids by their parents, even in our generation. My dad introduced me to A&C, Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, etc when I was a kid, so I knew all about them, but many of my classmates barely knew them. So, I'm doing my duty and exposing my kids to these classics too. The other day my kids (nearly 7 and 4 years old) watched A&C Meet the Invisible Man and they loved it.

From what I've been told over the years, the A&C license is prohibitively expensive. Add in Universal and the other liknesses needed and the expense is too great.

I have NO idea what your talking about. Surely Universal wouldn't debase the 'stein franchise with lowly post-war comedians. Humor has no place in horror, for proof of this watch [if you can] Scream or I know how lame this movie is.

Abbott and Costello's Movies should not even be mentioned in the lines of scream WAYYYYY 2 different types of comedy. A&C's horror films were awesome and are alot of fun to watch. Instead of trying to get people to watch Scream I think you should watch the Abbott and Costello meets..... movies then get back to us. :-)

Are you serious?
A & C Meet Frankenstein is considered the greatest horror comedy of all time. It was so popular in fact, that it spawned four sequels, A & C went on the meet The Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Killer Boris Karloff, and The Mummy.
Not too shabby for a couple "lowly" comedians.

Abbott and Costello were actually the highest paid actors in the WORLD back then, so there was nothing "lowly' about them. Still in a class by themselves.

Ummmmmmmmm you do know that, this Abbott and Costello movie actually brought back the Universal Monsters into vogue...they were completely out of fashion by the time this movie came out. Universal quickly repackaged their films and re released them, and then they found their permanent home on late night TV for years after that....and ask most guys here if they would make those figures from this movie they'd buy it in a heart beat.......

Also what made the movie work was the Monsters played it straight while Abbott and Costello went for the laughs....it is their most beloved film.....and Sorry they are NOT Lowly Post war comedians Please do you homework and read up on them.
Abbott and Costello were Universals top comedy act DURING the war....

I went to a nearby theater to see Oz yesterday, and was surprised to find they had named their snack combos after famous entertainers. I was even more surprised to find out that a medium popcorn and 2 medium drinks was called...the Abbott & Costello! I ordered it!

From what I've read, A&C are not available.

Love A & C. I have an animated model that does the "Who's on First" skit. I've had it packed away, may have to pull it out and set it up again.

That would be a lot of fun!
