Abbott & Costello: Funniest Routines - Vol. 2

Buy This Item Abbott & Costello: Funniest Routines - Vol. 2 by Legend  Available from Amazon  $12.99  on 11-17-2008     This is a great DVD of hilarious performances from Abbott and Costello. Put together with volume 1 in the "Funniest Routines" series, it makes a great addition to the "Classic Comedy" section of anyones DVD library. Great fun that the whole family can enjoy together. <br /> <br />These routines are presented in black and white. The only part of it that is in color are two bonus features. One of these is probably the most famous comedy routine of all time, "Who's on First." This is the first time that Who's on First has ever been presented in color, and to me, it makes it worth owning the DVD for. The rest of the routines are presented in black and white, and were clearly taken from a superior transfer than other collections I've seen: They look great! <br /> <br />Here is a list of the routines the disc includes: <br /> <br />-Getting down off a duck's back <br />-The Ice Cream bit <br />-Bryant-444 <br />-Get out of the office <br />-The Handkerchief gag <br />-Higher and Lower <br />-Cotton in the Ears <br />-The Dancing Partner <br />-The Initiation <br />-Oh! Charlie <br />-The Porthole <br />-The Hammock Routine <br />-Go ahead, play the music <br />-A figure of speech <br />-Crazy House <br />-Who's on First <br />and a bonus classic Jiffy Pop commercial <br /> <br /> <br />And be sure to check out Volume 1 <br />Abbott & Costello: Funniest Routines - Vol. 1 Reader Reviews I looked forward to getting this Abbot & Costello DVD with great anticipation of sharing it with my children. I especially looked forward to their "Who's on First" routine. I was greatly disapointed. Most of the material on the DVD comes from an early television program and was probably very funny at the time. Taking it out of that context, however, leaves it less than amusing. The greatest disappointment was the clip of "Who's on First". Not only did they abridge the routine, it's done as an afterthought during a cameo appearance. What you find on the internet is much better. My recommendation - if you're looking for the real Abbott & Costello, don't look here.
