Chin-Lung Hu is a professional baseball player from Taiwan. He plays in a Chinese league now, but he spent a few years in the Dodger's organization and one with the Mets. Never really managed to stick on the big league teams, but he did play in a total of 118 major league games over the course of 5 years. He didn't play 1st base, he's a middle infielder. But you can imagine the joy of the broadcasters whenever he hit a single and they got to say, "Hu's on first!"

[@ronald-xs7sp]

Vin Scully said that!

[@garystroupe3896]

Ladies, I was born in June of 1933 and am now 91 years old. I remember hearing Kate Smith's radio show in 1938 and that was the first time it aired. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, the creators, had been doing it in comedy clubs as stand up comedians for probably ten to twelve years before that radio show so. They spent many, many years perfecting their timing and mannerisms. A truly remarkable piece of comedic genius.

[@DavidKohring]

Abbott and Costello were induced in the baseball Hall of Fame because of this routine

[@CoastalNomad]

A version of this skit plays on a loop at the Baseball Hall of Fame......

[@Beerglass1980]

Wow! Didn't know that thank you 👍👍👍👍

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

That is so cool!

[@deantitus9734]

Inducted too!! LMAO

[@dagmar.6954]

This skit never gets old. I have seen it many times & it still is funny! This is what you call good clean comedy that has lasted for decades. That was real talent! What a difference compared to the garbage that gets passed off today as comedy full of swearing & dirty jokes.

[@rogerdaly6326]

The timing and flow of this routine is impeccable.

[@lefty3141591]

A true classic. There are some other great skits by them. I would suggest reacting to 7 times 13 is 28 and 2 tens for a five. Great reaction.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Thanks for the tips!

[@shanegraham2500]

I definitely agree! 7x13=28 is great! They pretty much convinced me.

[@StandUpComedyFan28m]

And "Loafing" is pretty funny too. And Loafing and this skit is from The Abbott and Costello Show that ran for two seasons. And the most famous version of the Who's on First routine was featured in one of their movies The Naughty Nineties. And a bunch of their skits were featured in their movies.

[@eddiepage1736]

Abbott and Costello honed this routine to a razor edge. It's timeless.

[@pdegan2814]

And that particular rendition of it is the best I've seen/heard, I grew up with this specific performance on an audio cassette that I'm surprised I didn't wear out.

[@absibrock]

Lulu missed a great opportunity at 7:37 when Kathy asked her, "And who's the outfield?" I was shouting, "No, Who's on first!"

[@BigJoeEspo]

Me too.

[@mikepetrucha2774]

I have been laughing at that for almost 60 years. It never gets old.

[@johnmagill7714]

The most brilliant comedy gag / routine ever created.

[@2112666123]

Now check out the 7+ 13 = 28 part they divide and multiply wow so funny and brilliant

[@thomasspicer97]

An absolute classic i grew up watching them on reruns. There carrier was from 1940 to 1956.

[@bartondonnelly5293]

The Three Stooges were popular in the 1930s. Bud Abbott (taller thinner man) and Lou Costello started in 1936. Their movies were 1941 to 1956. This version is from their TV show (1952 - 1953).

[@keithwatkins7908]

Thanks for the excellent video and reaction. As a Brit, used to see their films in the 70's on television when I was a kid, loved them. Recommend their brilliant sketch 7 x 13 equals 28.

[@ASalvaro]

I like to give Lulu credit because you wouldn't believe how many reactors don't get it but Lulu knew right away what the players names were

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

You definitely need to let Lulu react to some 3 Stooges & even The Little Rascals ✌💖☮

[@andrewmccormack4295]

This is such a funny skit but what makes it so great is the fact that they are telling the story so fast and not making any mistakes,that would be tough.I'm so glad you Ladies enjoyed it.

[@perustc9158]

The Little Rascals, The Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, and Laurel and Hardy were staples of my childhood! I'm 69 as of this month!

[@wildbill7081]

Yes same for me I am 73 and remember all these guys and love watching them and nothing today compares

[@BigJoeEspo]

My dad was especially fond of Laurel & Hardy (he called them, "Fat & Skinny'") so my indoctrination to comedy classics started at birth. Abbott & Costello routines never get old. Even those taken from their TV show (when they were slowing down a bit) are always fun to watch and play along with.

[@danielbourland1698]

Abbot and Costello are iin the Baseball Hall of Fame because of this skit.

[@j.woodbury412]

This makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it. You don't see comedy like that anymore. It's clean, no cursing and the whole family can enjoy it.

[@jackbrooks5487]

When I was growing up, our local TV station had a Sunday afternoon movie. More often than not, they were either Abbott and Costello, The Marx Brothers, or The Bowery Boys. Weekdays, at 5:30 PM, we had Cactus Pete and later Uncle Briggs. They aired a cartoon or two and one of the shorts (short films) done by The Three Stooges or The Little Rascals. It was a good time to be a kid.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

The clip is from their TV show from 1952 to '54. The episode in which this was featured is "The Actor's Home".

[@ronaldmariano1888]

Who's on next?! Hopefully, The 1973 live version of Hocus Pocus by Focus! 🙂

[@keithsimpson6563]

Hey guys you should watch Abbott and Cosstello 7 ×13 = 28 it's SO good as well. I love you guys to cool to see a family doing things together.

[@xJamesLaughx]

If you want Lulu to see the Three Stooges these are the episodes to look into as they are now in public domain and not subject to copyright any longer. 1. Disorder in the Court 2. Brideless Groom 3. Sing a Song of Six Pants 4. Malice in the Palace

[@texasgunslinger8060]

Disorder in the Court!

[@rogerwolstenholme2710]

Jeff Dunham and Peanut... same sort of sketch .... very funny.

[@stanchase9087]

Y'all need to watch the movie, "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein."

[@LeviAWilson]

Hi lovely ladies. Oh, I just caught this. You're doing some comedy now. Cool! Donna's right. This skit is a long time ago. This one here was aired on television in 1953. Even though it's in black and white, there is also now a colorized version which was redone in color. After watching it in black and white for so long, it looked funny when I watched the color version. They must have cut off some of this one video before it started because it should have started out with both of them coming out from behind the curtain and asking the crowd what they would like to hear, and they said baseball. If you notice, when your video first showed them, you'll see that Costello was holding the back of his head. That's because he just hit himself with the baseball bat. I don't know why your version cut those parts out. Hay Linda, you missed a good zinger with Lulu because when you asked her who is in the outfield and Lulu said "I don't know" you could have said "3rd base" and I like when you told Lulu "Why" and she just smiles and says "Oh". lol and don't forget that "Because" was in center field. I like your Guns N' Roses shirts. I forgot to mention that when I played back in the metal bands, I had met a few of the people who you've done music video reaction on and one of them was when our band met one of the members of Guns N' Roses, among others from other bands who we had also met. Great Job! Ladies!

[@keithboyd9582]

If Lulu hasn't watches any of the3 stooges, best episode to watch is called Disorder In The Court.

[@skevich1]

With the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum & Howe.

[@jameswilson7790]

Best short with Shemp is Brideless Groom. Absolutely hysterical.

[@scotttrainer9704]

You missed Because in center field, but you know Why 😅

[@nativetexan9776]

Because is centerfield

[@Mr.Ekshin]

Wong Hu, Charlie Watt, Bill Adonough, Hector Tamara, Hideki Tidei, Paul Wye, Wilson B.Caws, and Eidon Givatarn... a great group of players.

[@treystevenson9872]

Best comedy skit of all time.

[@corralescoyote]

So sweet to hear about your Papa… ❤

[@libertylover4016]

This was originally a bit done in Vaudeville. This skit is so famous it is actually in the baseball hall of fame.

[@larrymcauley3152]

According to Wikipedia Abbott and Costello did this in 1937.

[@tmznt]

I think the Golden Girls pillow should be visible at all times. To get the full effect of your channel, lol.

[@shannonherb2048]

You said it Donna . The little Rascals or our gang. Please .

[@michaelestabrook2018]

they started the rpoutine in 1938 on radio-this is from 1953.

[@-GB-9464]

Loved watching their movies growing up 👍

[@thomasripley1548]

This bit is in the baseball hall of fame....check out Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein..one of the great monster movies of all time..

[@djgrant8761]

I love listening to the radio episode of Who’s On First. The radio broadcast was sponsored by Camel cigarettes and includes the talents of Skinnay Ennis singing ‘Linda’ and Marilyn Maxwell singing ‘New Orleans’. The premise of the episode is New York Yankee Joe DiMaggio sends a telegram to Costello asking him to sub in for him as he is recovering from a foot operation. The episode runs for roughly 29-30 minutes.

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

This skit goes back into the thirties . Abbott and Costello started out in Vaudeville, before going on the radio , and into the movies . Have you ever heard of Laurel and Hardy ? A and C are in the Baseball Hall of Fame for Who's on First . If you're interested in their movies , I recommend Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein .

[@heyhey1956]

Their patter routine "Who's on First?" is considered one of the greatest comedy routines of all time,[1] a version of which appears in their 1945 film The Naughty Nineties.

[@Keiron-pw6sl]

Never seen Abbott and Costello there funny do a video on laurel and hardy there hilarious

[@mirandak3273]

Do the dance one from Laurel & Hardy in “Way Out West”

[@Steve-nu4sv]

Sadly from an era where the acts appeared on stage in places like vaudeville and music halls in England. They were multi talented could sing, dance, tell jokes maybe play an instrument. My Dad liked these guys and I believe they made a couple of movies. Many such acts went on to tour war zones entertaining troops. Bob Hope entertained troops in World War 2 and Vietnam. My maternal Grandparents were singers in the 1940's. I really enjoy your .music reactions. This was different but equally enjoyable.

[@davidedwards1705]

The skit became Official in 1937.

[@jeffschielka7845]

Hey Ladies! Classic comedy routine!! Hilarious! Enjoy.🤣🤣🤣👍😎

[@Sherman1fan]

Center field= Because

[@n5iln]

That may be their best-known skit. It’s on continuous play at the Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Truly timeless humor (as long as baseball survives, anyway).

[@bigsteve6200]

Good clean Comedy !. See Henney Youngman heckles Milton Berle.

[@brheinfeldt]

This was first broadcast on The Kate Smith Show on 03/24/1938.

[@jeri3808]

Ladies they also had did some movies. Check out 1948s "Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein".

[@canadasblinky]

ive seen this 100 times and i still have tears from laughing so hard. I watched these re runs as a kid too

[@jamesmanes2346]

Johnny Carson did his little spin on this as well

[@texasgunslinger8060]

That's right! Using the names of President Reagan's Cabinet like, James "Watt", and Chinese President "Who." I saw it Live and it was absolutely Hilarious!

[@jeffreyflint6286]

🤣🤣🤣🤣. Man. Does this bring back memories from my early sixties childhood.

[@billc.5861]

😁. It’s such a classic

[@fc-2macdonald378]

Hey Gals, Old FC-2 Here, This is A CLASIC. kEEP UP THE gREAT wORKS.

[@cooloutdoor7008]

Kathy you missed your chance, you asked about the outfielder and Lulu said I don't know...He plays 3rd base!

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

The centerfielder is Because & the shortstop is I don't give a darn. Awesome!

[@JBHogan]

Good job. You got all the jokes.

[@blanetalk]

I'll add my vote to those suggesting you watch the 7 times 13 equals 28 A&C sketch next. Also, watch the Three Stooges short "Men In Black". It shares a little of the same DNA as "Who's On First", and it was the only time the Stooges were nominated for an Academy Award.

[@AIHumanEquality]

Fun Fact: Many modern wordplay jokes comedians do is based on this original skit. Even though many have their own variations from it, no one has been able to perform this type of routine as cleanly and performatively as Abbot and Costello.

[@Pton_reaction_addict]

We had a 78rpm record by Spike Jones of this. It was the first time I heard this. It was and still is a classic. Thanks for reviewing it. This was from the 1950s due to tv. Not sure when they actually did this for the first time.

[@howardjohnson8831]

This is from 1954. But they originally did it on the radio in 1938

[@jayweb51]

I came across a modern tribute to this great slapstick comedy, it was by a comedic ventriloquist named Jeff Dunham; the episode is called Peanuts Password Panic, not as funny but great tribute.

[@allanrudge1518]

I can't tell you how good Jeff's tribute is, I don't remember laughing so hard. You have to see it for yourself I guess.

[@bobbyj5375]

Everyone seems to miss 'because' is center field. Good reaction.

[@ManuelGuajardo-zd7hx]

Some vintage funny comedy from these guys ladies. They knew how to make people laugh. Wintersun Alex ❄️👋

[@kevinmarshall854]

This skit is SO famous that Abott I Costello were abducted into it baseball hall of fame along with all of the incredible baseball players.

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, ladies! I think more comedy would be a good addition to your reaction channel.

[@adampare8088]

Take 1 joke, beat it to absolute heck....and it's freaking hysterical

[@thomastimlin1724]

Don't forget there is Laurel and Hardy too.

[@757optim]

Seamless delivery.

[@sandralorenz1796]

I've seen this routine since I was younger than Lulu and it never gets old.

[@roydownes2458]

this is a classic, and it never gets old. tom pastis, who writes and draws the comic strip "pearls before swine", used the routine in his strip, substituting the names of rock musicians and bands.

[@donaldstewart8342]

Jeff Dunham does a version substituting Wi Fi passwords with Peanut

[@mirandak3273]

Also check out the Marx Brothers

[@glennwisniewski9536]

This clip was taken from an episode of TV's The Abbott and Costello Show first shown May 15, 1953. The mentioning of the names Sticky Fields and Booby Barber were a nod to series regulars Sid Fields and Bobby Barber.

[@majkus]

"Stinky" Fields, a nod to the Joe Besser regular character 'Stinky', I think?

[@glennwisniewski9536]

@@majkus I went back and listened to it again and I definitely heard Costello say "Sticky." I turned on the closed-captioning and it said "Sticky" too. I think A&C were laughing at an in-joke because they were adding funny nicknames to real last names of prominent co-stars from their show. Fields appeared in 50 of the 52 total episodes and Barber in 26. Besser showed up in only 12.

[@capttheo1]

One of the times he said "I don't give a damn."

[@oldmanghost219]

Who's On First !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough said!!!!!

[@a.grimes4202]

They play this on a constant loop at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Also, Lulu is right the name of the umpire is never mentioned, although I personally always fixated on the mystery of the rightfielder’s identity.

[@jameswilson7790]

In some versions of this skit, the right fielder is named Nobody. Of course, you can imagine Lou's reaction to Bud telling him that Nobody will catch that line drive to right field.

[@bobsylvester88]

Donna your father sounds like a good guy. Typical for his generation. He passed down a lot of character I bet. Abbott and Costello were the biggest thing in comedy in the late 1940s early 1950s. They made several funny movies, often involving iconic monsters they would encounter. They are worth watching.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Thank you

[@elvwood]

This is iconic even in the UK!

[@kdm71291]

Absolutely classic!

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

It looks like the skit might have been created sometime in 1938. Abbott and Costello also have a lot of great movies to their resume as well that you should reactions to.

[@jameswilson7790]

And no less than the president himself (FDR) PERSONALLY called to congratulate Bud Abbott and Lou Costello on a job extremely well done. A lot of comedy skits use elements of this skit. The most famous might be the Four Candles routine performed by The Two Ronnies from the United Kingdom.

[@gizme10]

This wasn’t written by them, it was for a tv show that they were appearing on. They didn’t want to do it, but we’re forced to do it., under a contract they had with the studio. Still one of the wittiest sketches ever written. Iconic doesn’t even do the skit justice.

[@w.p8960]

Sorry to dispute but they performed this skit in their Vaudeville act years before they had a tv show.

[@visaman]

​@@w.p8960and on radio

[@AIHumanEquality]

Please stop spreading misinformation. Abbot and Costello loved performing this skit. And yes they did write it. Abbot and Costello were originally around before TV was even a common household thing. TV didn't take hold in common houses until around the 1960s. These chaps are from 1930s to the 1950s. This skit was written in 1937 long before TV was major.

[@halholland1637]

Left field was WHY. Center field was BECAUSE.

[@ramonacosta2647]

Who is in right field?

[@jameswilson7790]

​@ramonacosta2647 In some versions of this skit, the right fielder is named Nobody. You can just guess how Lou would react to Bud telling him that Nobody will catch that line drive to right field.

[@thomasripley1548]

Larry ,moe and curly.....started in vaudeville as Abbott a d costello.....

[@1Adam20]

@0:45 Me and my younger brother have this skit memorized since we were 10 (well I was 10 he was 9) He'd do Lou Costello, and I would take Bud Abbott.

Another Abbott & Costello that is just as funny: Loafing! Highly recommended!

[@greggwashburn5924]

They play The Abbott And Costello Skit in The Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown New York

[@dunringill1747]

I grew up watching a lot of comedy from the classic era. Laurel and Hardy were (and still are) my favorite. I also really enjoyed (and still enjoy) Abbott and Costello, The Three Stooges, and The Little Rascals.

[@randymyers2449]

Other great skits by Abbot and Costello.... 2 tens for a five, mustard, jonah and the whale, loafing, Costello gets fired, Hertz U-Drive and so many more

[@BKPrice]

You forgot Because at Center Field and I Don't Give A Darn at Shortstop. I don't know the umpire. Third base! Third base.

[@glenngunnis6642]

You should check out Dan St. Paul’s The First Baseball Game.

[@chuckhand8622]

Ladies, being Southern girls, you need to watch a skit from Maw and Paw Kettle!! Maw and Paw Kettle do math!!!

[@glennchartrand5411]

In the earlier Vaudeville version of the skit , Costello was dressed as a "New Yorker" talking to a member of a visiting St.Louis Baseball team (Abbott) Abbott was saying real names but the difference in accents caused Costello to keep mishearing it But for the filmed versions they dropped that because the microphones weren't very good and people outside the Mid West and East Coast wouldn't get it. So Abbott would say with a thick Midwest Accent. Hughes is on first(German) Watts is on second Dino is on third (Italian) Tamarah is pitching (Hebrew) Toddy is catching. Wyatt is in left field. And Costello would hear that as who,what, don't know, tomorrow, today and why.

[@cra0422]

First Base: Who Second Base: What Third Base: I don't know Left Field: Why Center Field: Because Pitcher: Tomorrow Catcher: Today Shortstop: I Don't Care or I Don't Give a Darn or I Don't Give a Damn There was a board game that said the Right Fielder's name was Nobody.

[@danielhaynes2373]

This particular performance was performed in 1953, but the skit goes back to the very early 40's.
