Bud Abbott, Lou Costello

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were an American comedy duo who achieved fame through their work on stage, in films, and on radio and television. They were known for their fast-paced banter and slapstick comedy, establishing themselves as a classic burlesque comedy team. Abbott was a schemer, and Costello played a childlike patsy. Their act, which remained consistent for two decades, showcased Abbott as a bully and schemer, with Costello as the hapless patsy known for catchphrases like, “I'm a ba-a-a-a-d boy!” Their routine, including the famous baseball sketch “Who's on First?”, remained consistent for two decades.
