Abbott & Costello Go Fishing

[@tarbosh917]

Lol, I love that they hit you in the face with the metaphor with what seemed like irrelevant banter in the beginning. It's about how if you do something crazy (use a apple to catch a fish) and somehow manage to succeed you should just pocket the winnings. Costello 'let's it ride' and uses his winnings to try to win even more! He keeps doing that until he's underwater like a degenerate gambler.

I think this video best explains the term of investments

[@bangoracowboy1618]

Or pyramid schemes ha

[@71bbattle]

My brother and I were quoting this the whole time we were fishing. I had to pull it up just to see it! We haven't seen it since we were kids. Great lines last in your memories forever.

[@larrymoore6640]

They can always make a person laugh. Good clean laughter and fun.

[@talleyes625]

wait until they eat the fish.. with a fish inside.. with another fish.. with an apple.. fishception lol

[@DocWhooves2010]

talleyes625 with a worm inside the apple :3

[@sherlock_1]

I actually laughed out loud at that comment… and it’s 8 years old

"Break the boat, go ahead."

[@Dac719]

When Costello falls into the water and calls out to his partner, something unseen drags him underwater for a few seconds. How many of you thought of Jaws in that moment?

[@KishoreShenoy1994]

I didn't ask who's on second.

[@carcillian1024]

Who's on first

[@billbauer9795]

This one is one of the best A&C clips I've seen thus far!

[@Whatt787]

They stole this from the Three Stooges, they stole a lot of stuff from them, Moe was going to sue them at one point

[@fixxxer928]

Man this is absolutely hilarious! I can't believe they don't make stuff like they used to these days, they should, it's ridiculously funny. This is a whole different breed than what we're used to in the 21st century! I know what i'll be putting on for my kids to watch.

[@ryancorrell6895]

This sketch has a long history. It was done first by Buster Keaton in his short silent film "Hard Luck". THEN The Three Stooges performed the bit in the 1930s. Then it was Abbott and Costello. And this was not the first or last time A&C took from the Stooges. Moe always claimed that a lot of Costello mannerisms were lifts straight from Curly

[@TheMunchlet]

Thank you, Ryan.

[@joefurey9619]

Technically, it was the writers who reused bits. Often their own bits that they put in different things over the years. In this case, Clyde Bruckman who also wrote the Stooges short it was in and probably contributed to the Keaton short. Also, Moe Howard only said there were some similarities between Curly and Lou Costello. He never said mannerisms were lifted directly from him. Both comedians were brilliant in their own ways.

[@ryancorrell6895]

@@joefurey9619 that's true, especially about Bruckman and writers lifting old jokes for the Stooges... but I read a book by Joan Howard Maurer that revealed there was a bit more animosity towards Costello, at least to Moe's point of view. I'll look it up sometime, and if I remember I'll quote it here. I could be wrong though!

[@joefurey9619]

@@ryancorrell6895 Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was something that got mis-interpreted throughout the years stemming from a picture in the book where Moe said, Curly looks amazingly like Lou Costello in a photo. Moe WAS somewhat envious of Abbott and Costello because they were in features, which he always wanted the Stooges to do, but Columbia kept them in shorts (until years later). And Shemp actually appeared in several Abbott and Costello movies- and was friendly with them.

[@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635]

No wonder why Moe was upset or jealous of Lou

[@rickrick5041]

They are so talented and FUNNY

[@MrMts9]

[@lobopresenta9171]

[@leroybragg6460]

Sometimes you got to risk it all to get something bigger

[@MTB214]

Thanks for sharing. I was looking for this for a long time. I couldn't remember what comedians did this. I thought it was in Laurel and Hardy.

[@motnosniv]

Hey, Yabbott!

[@weckar]

There's a moral in here somewhere.... damned if I can find it through the laughter though.

[@Opium1958]

lol the three stooges did the same thing, but this is great anyway!

[@laserbeam002]

Wonderful comedy. I'm not sure when real entertainment ended but what we have now is total crap.

[@kleeTheDarkKnight]

[@bigdirewolf7642]

[@pat2595]

[@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635]

Dude jaws was made about 44 years after this.

[@davidcolantuono3622]

I know, but the way they show Costello's character being dragged underwater for those few seconds reminds me of Jaws.
