A lack of education ...and censorship...

@@Vodhin I thought it was because people thought that Slapstick is dead. If it’s dead, then I’m Curly Fine. Honestly though, I wanna see comedy where anyone could get hurt (and sometimes did), and the wit was intelligent either through the fast-talking character, or though the dim-but-outsmarting character. I wanna see the classics in the modern age.

@@leslauner5062 yeah, they get Jason stoned and he that's ripping up a mini mart in search of snacks!

I think elements of that ended up in part three

I used to watch them as a kid with my dad or grandpa. Always loved them.

Same, I used to be glued to these films as a kid. I also used to adore Harold Loyd, my favorite was the one when he climbed the building and then nearly falls off the clock face, they showed a clip of it at the start of the show, I think it was called The Harold Loyd Show.. oops I got sidetracked, but yep Abbot and Costello were big favourites.

A fine mixture of comedy, and horror.

Couldn't agree more! 😊

It's such a shame that nobody knows how to do this kind of work that still respects everything it comes from. that's the only way to make disparate things work together. you don't sacrifice to try to force them to fit. I guess 'scooby-doo and guess who' is the closest we get anymore, which is fine aside from the lack of humor

Look at Ghostbusters - a similar project, with comic actors playing against a horrorific background. It worked just fine. But then the remake screwed the pooch.

@@SandyofCthulhu Now I want Abbott and Costello Meet Cthulhu.

"You pay your players?" "Of course. Every Friday." "Then who gets paid for playing first base?" "Yes." "..." "Sometimes his wife comes down to pick up the check." "Who's wife?" "Yes."

It's a great routine made even better by the writers of Animaniacs. Instead of Who's on First, they are at Woodstock and The Who is on stage. Also, bans like Yes and The Band... it's basically the same routine, but with actual bands from that era.

@@truthedministry Doing who's on first with the names of the bands was not invented by the Animaniacs writers. It was a routine I heard as a kid on the Doctor Demento show that came from a comedy album that I think was by... Forgive me, I know a lot about the classic comedians but not as much about the Next Generation... George Carlin? Or Cheech and Chong Maybe?

@@rufust.firefly2474 The Credibility Gap! With Harry Shearer and David Lander. Funny, rapid-fire stuff!

@@DrDespicable thank you! Remember that variation on the who's on first routine, it was very clever. But I really can't say that it was more clever or original then those who wrote and elaborated on the original routine. Lou Costello actually made up some very funny variations on it when he was on the radio and he and bud, By Request, did the routine once every month on the radio. Was originally adapted for them by John Grant who was their head writer. But there were other, embryonic versions before then.

Not like in terms of fighting, but more in terms of how their characters work.

How about yankee and even yankier with jim carrey and jeff daniels

not everyone's brand of comedy, but there is Tim & Eric

We had Key and Peele, but they only made one movie, before Jordan Peele moved to a behind-the-camera role.

The big problem is that most Comedians today are untalented and unfunny.

@@loanaoftheshellpeople5627 the problem today is that there is no format like Vaudeville 4 comedians to hone their craft and their characters to Perfection like the Marx Brothers, WC Fields, Abbott and Costello and the other classic movie comedians were able to do. Stand up comedy clubs are simply not the same.

nobody else seems to have observed this much less it's absolute brilliant complexity I'm far from atheist and maybe it's paranoid interpretation.. you know, wanna get it right.. like... "So as thy day, so shall thy strength be" and the overzealous congregations smile thinking their strength will match whatever comes... i cant help it... but if i read it as it is what i see is whatever your day your strength will be THE SAME !! Crappy day? Crappy feelings.. i see A&C's twisted comedic philosophies in everything now... i cant keep a straight face sometimes.. my aunt an i were at a family funeral and i had bowed and buried in a bible to keep out of trouble. but just as i opened the bible... another bit of dual interpretation that came so fast i burst out laughing which froze the whole congregation..quickly thinking i turned it into a cry for whatever scripture the pastor just read...the congregation clapped and wept and i sank back with bowed head in the bible knowing i now could laugh any time i wanted and started reading a mad magazine somebody gave me... hey... i was only like 12 yrs old ok? i like to think God has a sense of humor... can't remember exact phrase.. it is God's pleasure to hide a thing and (???) to seek it out

had to look it up... “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

He may have originated those reactions in a particular comedic style but others like Don Knotts, Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope and I think Danny Kay have done similarly, but you're right, there aren't many.

I'm laughing right now.

Y e s s s! Do the road movies!!

They used to be on every Sunday on WPIX channel 11 from 11:30 - 1:00 (churchtime for many back then) They ran at least from as early as my memory goes back to, mid to late 69's until at least early 80's was the last time I recall watching them, In the Navy. So funny "Any galoot who wants a dispute gets it in the neck"

Have you ever read the script? He had good reason to - it barely resembles the finished movie and none of their routines were yet incorporated into it. As originally written, it would have been a stinker.

@@deadpan80 yes, I was going to mention that I've heard this anecdote many times for four and everybody always forgets to mention that was Lou Costello was reacting to was a first draft of the script, before their head writer John Grant and a few rewrites turned it into a classic.

@@deadpan80 He evidently didn't believe in it even after it was done. But his mother saw it and told him it was the best thing he'd ever done. That convinced him.

They did the same 'bit' even better in HOLD THAT GHOST.

That would have been hilarious

H m m m m... Okay... Sure... pardon me while I get nauseous remembering the result of people trying to reboot The Little Rascals, The Three Stooges and Laurel and Hardy... Oops!

@@HatsOffEntertainment of course man!! Good luck on future projects!!

They'd had a lot of practice by this point, with like 4 or 5 previous movies.

@@christopherwall2121 still

Except their movies wern't very good. How many guys in gorilla suits can you watch? an you

@@brucefritzges8759 ok well that’s your opinion.

I think you better concentrate on the good stuff before dealing with the cheap imitations! And don't forget that almost every comic and comedy team during this time did at least one comedy horror film except Mae West, the Marx Brothers and WC Fields. Even Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd did comedy scare movies.

@@rufust.firefly2474 are you talking to me? Because I watch all the other teams too.

@@ZoeKitten84 not specifically but I'm glad you do. I really don't try to rate different comedians of the classic era against each other because they're all really so different in their approach and so individual at heart. why do people pit Laurel and Hardy and Abbott and Costello against each other and say one is better than the other as to comedy teams? They're essentially different. L&H work situation comedy and the gags on falling and fouling up the plot and situation versus their characters. Abbott and Costello do routines, they really have not a lot to do with the plot of their films for the most part. Of course there are some exceptions to both.

This! Glad I’m not the only one who immediately thought of the Scooby cross overs. Those unlikely team ups was how I first learned about what the Harlem Globetrotters were. Not sure if I will ever take the time to see if the more recent Scooby/WWE collaborations work

@@Asummersdaydreamer14 Don't bother, they're awful...but Scooby Doo meets Kiss is pretty amazing

@@jonahmandell509 I know next to nothing about Kiss, but this makes sense to me somehow; they look like chill people. Also, thanks for the tip about the WWE ones. If you have not seen it, my favorite Scooby cross over has to be when they meet Johnny Bravo. I never watched Johnny Bravo b/c his silly jerk energy wasn’t my thing, but it somehow worked with the gang being annoyed by him and him being as big of a scaredy-cat as Scoob & Shag. I think. And it helped that it was at the end of a well liked Scooby VHS.

There is a Supernatural and Scooby-Doo cross over. Might not be what you are thinking of, but i highly enjoyed it.

My favorite episode had to be the crossover they did with the Addams Family.

Yes it was

More like it inspired the concept of Scooby-Doo. Heck, there was “A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts” where Mystery Inc faced off the Universal Monsters, who turned out to be just one guy.

@Mark Allen okay

There was a TV biography in the late 70s called "Bud & Lou" with Harvy Korman and Buddy Hacket...

So what? My dad could totally beat up BOTH of their dads in a fight.

If you want to see A and C and how versatile they were

If you want to see how versatile A & C are, watch them in "The Time of Their Lives"!!

Gotta admit though, it kinda seemed like Universal was going a route pretty familiar to modern audiences, just starting to crank stuff out.. One can easily imagine an alternate timeline where we started getting Abbott and Costello Go Somewhere Cheap

Ah, a bit of Lovecraft Lite eh? I’d see Key and Peele in the King-verse if it worked out.

Key and Peele in Get Out. Ain’t that a million dollar idea.
