they were good, but i don't think they can hold a candle to the original slapstick comedy geniuses of early movies... yes, of course, i mean THE THREE STOOGES!
the story is, when abbott and costello were still learning their chops, costello would hang out and watch curly from the stooges, and pick up tips on how to do it. he obviously learned well, but curly is still the master.

You just don't get humor like that anymore. This thread is inspiring me to rewatch some of their stuff. |

I have a number of their old radio programs on my cell phone - pretty fun lunchtime listening.
