Funny you should post this! A few weeks ago I looked up the clip online to show the kids - I'm always joking about it, and realized they never saw it. Then I dove in and got some "best of" DVDs for Abbot and Costello. Ah, the good 'ole days of comedy.

Oh, I love that one too. I used to be able to recite the whole thing was I was little.

When I was growing up, one of the local stations in LA showed Abbott and Costello movies on Saturday afternoon. I never missed a show. They were so funny.

"Announcer: Benny's check cashing presents
The Thurgood and Smokey
Comedy hour!
And now Thurgood and Smokey!
[Applause]

Thurgood: I sure am happy I ran into you, Smokey.
I'm trying to clean up this neighborhood,
And I thought you could help me
Get out some of the drug addicts.

Smokey: Ok, but ah nowadays,
Drug addicts have some pretty peculiar names.

Thurgood: You mean nicknames?

Smokey: Well, street names.
Like, who's on crack,
Say what's on smack,
And I don't know freebases.

Thurgood: Well, do you know the fellows' names?

Smokey: I said, who's on crack,
Say what's on smack,
And I don't know freebases.

Thurgood: Well, who's on crack?

Smokey: Yes.

Thurgood: I mean, the fellow's name.

Smokey: Who!

Thurgood: The guy on crack!

Smokey: Who!

Thurgood: The crack addict!

Smokey: Who is on crack.

Thurgood: I don't know!

Smokey: I don't know freebases.

Thurgood: Who freebases?

Smokey: No, who's on crack.

Thurgood: Say what?

Smokey: No, he's on smack.

Thurgood: Who's on smack?

Smokey: No, who's on crack.

Thurgood: I don't know!

Smokey: Freebase!

Thrugood: Shut up, you damn stupid crackhead!

I'm pretty sure they had a radio show; not sure about television...

Other than radio;
They made several movies, had a T.V. show, did guest appearances on other T.V. shows, and did shows on stage.

That's their classic bit. I hadn't seen it in a while. I think it was Groucho Marx who called Bud Abbott the best straight man ever.
