Oh. My. God. I had no idea you guys had done this sketch. And 13 freaking years ago, to boot!! That settles it. You're geniuses. You're absolute God-damn criminally under-appreciated geniuses.
Hate to say it but its their best sketch because they used a very famous old sketch as the model for this one. They didn’t come up with the idea for this one I’m afraid.
So, apparently this is getting recommended to lots of people this year - I would love to see the crew comment on it now, or even remake it. Absolutely epic riff on a classic.
Well, Hello from the future. This year is LRR's 20th Anniversary. I don't think they talked about it in their anniversary shows. I do admit, while I find this fairly entertaining, I still like the OG Abbot and Costello version better.
2:41 I didn't know Paul was capable of such things. I'll have to recalculate most of my theories and discard some of the weaker ones, but I think this could lead to an unprecedented breakthrough.
It'd be amazing to do a revisit of this sketch in modern crisp high-definition. It sucks that we couldn't have Bill as I Don't Know in such a case, but maybe Bill's Mom could respectfully take on the role in his stead.
You know what, I've decided that it was a fine comment, and I don't know why I was so self-deprecating about it 3 years ago. Please come back in 3-5 years for more updates on this saga. Will I eventually decide that the bit I'm writing this very moment is _cringe?_ Stay tuned!
The first time I watched this, I hadn’t seen Who’s On First, and so was totally lost. This is the second time I’ve watched this. I’ve seen Who’s On First, and so I was only 50% lost.
I know I have seen every sketch that is possible to find online (and maybe a few that aren't), but for some reason I don't remember seeing this one at all. So weird.
@@user-pp5oh9ee1k Yes, the guy on second is What. But the OP said that What is the single most important sketch in North American comedy. So it follows that the guy on second is the single most important sketch in North American comedy.
