Lou was a gentle giant. My friends father knew Lou very well.

[@jamest681]

What a wonderful video. Rest in peace Lou and Ann. You raised wonderful children.

[@jerseymike7946]

I agree, what a great family, those kids were lucky to have such loving parents. Check out the bracelet on Lou's wrist, it has "Butch" on it. He had it welded on after Lou junior drowned, as a reminder. A few hours after Butch drowned Bud and Lou went on and did their radio show, Lou insisted so that Butch up in heaven could smile. As soon as it ended a broken Lou sped home while a devastated Bud broke down and wept, he was only able to hold it together during the show because it would have broken Lou even further not to.

[@williamdavis8955]

Abbot and Costello will never get old.

[@csrothlisberger852]

There was such a sweetness about Lou Costello. Even though he was going for the laugh in a scene, you could tell he was a kind & gentle soul. He left an indelible mark on this world.

[@wayneiles9823]

I remember watching reruns of the Abbott and Costello movies on the old black and white tvs back in 1960s . On the Saturday afternoon where I laughed at the great comedy teams . My they both rest in peace in heaven

[@michaelpercy5922]

Been watching them for years if I need a laugh put them on they never get old.RIP guys.

[@JoeBilello1969]

Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein was one of the greatest movies of all time, fantastic acting by all top name people, fantastic comedy, fantastic make-up and special effects for their time, just an all around fabulously made movie!!!! I've watched it a hundred times and can watch it a hundred more❤😂😊

[@rudyagresta]

Excellent presentation. Abbott and Costello will ALWAYS be my favorites. God Bless them both!

[@marybranicki3354]

OMGoodness !!! I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed watching this …. I feel like I am a friend of the family sitting in their living room remembering all the fun times of the Costello family…. thank you soooooo much for posting 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@sondrabejgrowicz3712]

my husband still watches episodes of their show ..it is on early in the morning so sometimes he would dvr it and watch it when he needs a good laugh

[@collazor]

They were great to watch on Sunday mornings in New York

[@sallybrown4947]

Love every minute of this. Literally it was like Abbott and Costello were some kind of Family members of ours. We loved them that much.

How special.....💖

[@john-brady]

This was a very fine gift from you, thanks a million - it got my dopamine running and my endorphins dancing… The boys were truly a healing balm of humor in my youth back in the mid- 50’s - and I wasn’t alone. ‘Louie Costello’ was a demigod between my siblings and I… Those guys took off a lot of stress and fear that existed for us, it’s good to see the lives that Bud, and more particularly, lived. A very compelling portrait of a complicated comic genius - among the greatest of the 20th Century… Again, a million thanks to you

[@jerseymike7946]

I have run across many accounts of adults who had terrible childhoods, saying that Bud & Lou's movies were the lone bright spot in their lives, something to look forward to while enduring emotional and physical abuse, they felt safe for 90 minutes while watching Bud and Lou's latest Universal release. Its tragic that even today many children just endure without saying anything, thru misguided loyalty.

[@tantagoth]

The greatest duo in history will always be Abbott & Costello. All other try but they succeeded in millions of laughs. I have watched every movie multiple times and will again in the future.

[@gabrielzertuche654]

Both of them are in heaven again together they telling God who's on first the original duo never be duplicated you have never been forgotten n never will be new generations yet be born Will see your films n shows n still be the greatest duo period

[@theresebuczek4685]

I remember watching them on Sundays. Love Bud and Lou

[@mikeymizor2934]

BROOKLYN NY, The Original Kings of Comedy, Rest in Paradise Gentlemen, Thanks for all the Laughs & memories, GoD Bless u Guys

[@jerseymike7946]

Mikey, Bud and Lou are both Jersey Boys, what's with the Brooklyn bit?

[@fadl14]

Thanks for sharing this video, I discovered Abbott and Costello very recently thanks to youtube algorithm and grew a lot of interest on their movies. Light-hearted and no profanity in comedy is something that I really missed. Such a shame Lou Costello died at 52...

[@jeffreyfridkis3298]

RIP Bud and Lou. You both will always be in my heart.

[@54wordgal]

Growing up as a kid in Bergen County, NJ, I always felt Abbott and Costello, both North Jersey boys, belonged to us. They provided me and my siblings with many, many hours of laughter. God bless their sweet souls.

[@williamvasquez7889]

Wow, this was pure gold! Thank you for sharing and God bless✝️!

[@elviacastaneda9351]

People read Lou's On First by Chris. I have red it twice. Excellent..

[@err521]

Watching in 2023 because of the Catchy Comedy marathon…so sweet.

[@jessemccombs9133]

A very true family man and to the other children God bless you and a true comedian team

[@jackieguccione94]

The Frankenstein movie was a once in a lifetime movie truly fantastic

[@jackpavlik3430]

Love them both even today my faves

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

They were beyond great. This was very informative. I am a huge fan. Thank you.

[@maryhabbart8847]

I love Abbott and Costello. They were so funny. I loved there movies.

[@MIKIEEYEZ1975]

That’s “T-H-E-“I”-R..” learn how to spell.. lol 😂 I’m from the 1960’s Catholic School Gramnar School Police!! My Nuns would be so proud of me!! 😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡💩💩💩💩😎

[@lastrada52]

The sequence of Lou Costello singing & Abbott telling the set designer to go higher with the scenery & Costello thinking he was being told to sing higher was a skit used modified -- in the TV series Taxi. When Jim (Christopher Lloyd) was taking his driver's test & kept asking his friends "what does a yellow light mean?" His friends would whisper "go slower." And he said the same question to them slower...and slower each time they repeated the "answer" that the yellow light meant to slow down. Hilarious version with A&C and hilarious with the minor adjustment in the 70s.

[@ray-jf4sh]

Great stories presented nicely.Thank you

[@darranwigg3722]

I have the TV series and radio shows on an old phone I use as a MP3/MP4 player, their radio shows are brilliant, especially when lou or bud (mostly lou) forgets where they are up to, when lou interacts with the audience and you hear the laughter, it's as if you are with them.

[@jettelecttro]

I like how Paddy Costello refers to Bud as Uncle Bud at 11:19. Nice that she thinks about him in that way.

[@charleneweege7149]

I believe I lived across the street from Lou Costello's house on Longridge in Sherman Oaks in the 90's. My brother owned the house and told stories of how Lou Costello would hand out candy to the kids. It must have been at Christmas time. I think the neighbor directly across from Lou's house told my brother the stories because he lived in his house a long time. When I was there the Olsen twins lived next door to Lou Costello's house across from us. It's nice to know that Lou Costello made such an impression on his neighbors that they would remember the stories. Both were comic genius's. "Who's on First" is making the rounds on KZbin with young people reacting to it. I haven't heard a negative reaction yet.

[@יצחק-ק5ע]

pure happiness. thank you

[@jeffreysnow2640]

This is very good !! To have a 16mm sound camera back then was a very big thing and for it to be in color too

[@tomdegan6924]

That was lovely.

[@Tinyman12]

I actually met Chris Costello in Suffern Lafaette Theater twice

[@arthurpapazian6003]

Thank you so much for sharing your memories!❤

[@reneecarter6702]

I haven’t been able to enjoy Lou’s comedy movies since I learned of what happened to them 💔 losing their baby, their marriage permanently dampened, He died at 52, and his wife died shortly thereafter at 47… So heartbreaking.

[@jamest681]

It is sad that the kids lost both of their parents so soon and so close together. The littlest one was only 11 years old.

[@Notintimidated2013]

Costello would probably have liked Chris Farley. Total slapstick. Hilarious.

[@Ms.HistoryBuff433]

This is delightful! Thank you!

[@cinemafanatic2010]

I believe the sound home movies were shot on a sound newsreel camera. A similar camera John Waters used for Pink Flamingos

[@josephconsoli4128]

Great footage. Countless laughs from the two my entire life and it continues on. I laugh just as hard today as when I was a kid. Just clean lighthearted humor.

[@davedee4382]

Bud will get onto the newspaper’s with those poses! Lol.

[@kevinbutler1955NYC]

I remember seeing Lou eating pickles dipped in milk..first in"The Noose Hangs High"..and on the Tv show.

[@sixflagsshowspast9616]

I liked seeing the home movies but would've liked to hear the girls talk more about their dad

[@demonrouge3338]

Thank you ladies for sharing your memories with us. They sure sound special and like you said they must’ve been magical for you. You are both beautiful women by the way. Is it OK to fall in love just after seeing you on the video? Ha ha

[@blacksheepent6798]

If the something similar to The Sopranos was produced in that era Costello would’ve played a great mob boss in a more dramatic role.

[@splerth3771]

I don't think Lou could EVER put a contract out on anyone- except maybe Sid Fields or Stinky.

[@danjohnson3669]

My gradfather moms dad was same age as lou costello very cool

[@MeanMrMayo]

Lou always recorded color home movies, so what a missed opportunity not to have behind the scenes color monsters footage from the set of ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN.

[@ExclusiveLM]

Costello's daughters looked like young versions of Queen Elizabeth. It's striking how much they looked like the Queen of England.

[@davedee4382]

She doesn’t know. They were trying to save money. The cast, even the chimp were let go. The intro which used clips licensed from universal, was dropped. A simple theme played by a small band was used. Scripts were written to be shot quickly. Sets were very simple and used repeatedly. A simple room would be used for a number of places; a business office, reception, a doctors office, anything. They borrowed bits off of the movie scripts saying that either Sid Fields wrote them, or the boys had done them before they worked in films. Lou basically bank rolled these shows.

[@cathyvogel7939]

Who’s on 1st greatest comedy skit ever

[@rotart12arx3]

It is very sad that when Abbott and Costello split in 1957 that they never spoke again to each other.

[@joecanarsie5444]

Yes heard several times it had something to do with Lou’s housekeeper eventually working with Abbott after lou fired her don’t know if it’s true

[@alkohol8487]

They spoke. The press doesn't sell happy stories, to be sure.

[@jackpavlik3430]

Lou was such a great father great family movies

[@jackpavlik3430]

Had a great time watching these films held up great

[@bjbell52]

Jerry Seinfeld said that his TV show Seinfeld was modeled after the Abbott and Costello TV show.

[@mirandavinci4146]

I think Lou was a bit of a mama's boy

[@vinrin9735]

Love Abbot and costello the where the best Saturday afternoon movie they always had one on from the land where Kangaroos 🦘 Ruel

[@mariacardenas4665]

Bud Had Epileptic episode

[@SenorZorrozzz]

Second year no more Mr. Bachacaloop, either. No more opening using Universal Studios clips. Seems like they were trying to reduce the budget.

[@vogelfrau2425]

Good comedy is the interaction between 2 people. Makes it funny. Today comedians stand alone on stage telling a lot of things. It's boring.

[@calebprenger3928]

did she call joe besser an idiot at 1:52?

[@nightowl5475]

I’m sorry, I love Abbott & Costello very much, and I don’t mean to change the subject, but does anyone out there got two $10’s for a $5??

[@garryberman894]

"100th Anniversary" of what, exactly?

[@shanearmstrong9400]

If you liked this never watch the bio with Buddy Hacket and Harvey Korman you have been warned

[@davedee4382]

58:00 these kids speak so well! Not like today.

[@LATVERIAN1]

This was a delightful post. Although, the somewhat "embarrassment", in one of Lou's daughter's voice, when admitting to her dad as being a Republican. I found that terribly bias & disturbing. Lou was on the "right" team. No need for her to hang her head in shame. R.I.P. Lou.

[@jerseymike7946]

The straight man always got top billing in comedy teams, as well as getting 55% of the take. That may sound odd but the reason is a great straight man is one who understands comedy, who while having the ability to be the 'funny guy' of the pair, instead sets up the 'funny guy' to get all the laughs. Thats much harder to do than making double takes and pratfalls and funny reactions. Jerry Lewis or Lou could never do the straight man part, it's the more highly skilled position and is recognized as such by comedy pros. Saying that takes nothing away from Lou's genius. Later in their careers Lou resented getting the lesser cut so Abbott agreed to 50/50.

[@SenorZorrozzz]

The daughters don’t look at all like Dad.

[@alkohol8487]

Carole was his spitting image.

[@shannajoy1821]

The oldest had his eyes but her mother's mouth and nose. Carole looked most like him. The youngest took more after the Mom.

[@strothermartin5368]

It was weird to see Abbott kept kissing Lou's daughter on the lips like that.

[@thewonderfulworldofderek6087]

[@martacruz5912]

[@thebambino4728]

I'm PRETTY SURE his daughter Caroles death in 1987 WASNT heart breaking for him since HE HAD DIED 28 YEARS EARLIER IN 1959 !

[@annetteedel8229]

No matter how old the child is that is the most heartbreaking thing any parent can go through.
