POPSAbbott & Costello: Who's on first? (4 Videos) :D "Who's On First?" is descended from turn-of-the-century burlesque sketches like "The Baker Scene" (the shop is located on Watt Street) and "Who Dyed" (the owner is named Who). By the early 1930s, a "Baseball Routine" had become a standard bit for burlesque comics across the country. After Abbott and Costello teamed up, they adopted the routine and kept adding to it until it became the team's signature skit. (They even copyrighted it.) Below is a transcript of what is considered their finest rendition of the routine, from their 1945 film The Naughty Nineties. In 1956, "Who's On First?" was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. In 1999 Time magazine voted it the Best Comedy Sketch of the 20th Century. members.aol.com/ACQtrly/who.html See also this video (Who is the Chinese president). :D

POPSHeat on PM to cut link to pastor Howard copying his mate from the USA. He's big with the paedophile sheltering "Family First" and any other crackpot outfit he thinks will vote for him.
