Classic comedy like this is awesome. It’s very very hard to find any comedy today. That’s clean and funny like these guys, Abbott and Costello, Laura and Hardy get smart just the name. A few people in TV shows that were the best and still are the best of comedy clean comedy.
as funny as the Laurel and Hardy joke when Laurel said his uncle had died by falling through a trap door and broke his neck. Hardy asked him "oh , was he in construction?" Laurel said "no they were hanging him."
"They took the hats and...bop!!" "No, no, no, no..." I love the way Lou and Joe jumped up and down during this skit. Of course, the funniest part in my opinion is when Abbott breaks the hat and asks Lou to taste it.
Total classic comedy from the 50's & early 60's. It was people like Bud Abbott & Lou Costello that paved the way for the Larry David's and the Jerry Seinfelds of today.
Awesome! I've not seen the Bagel St. sketch (original name for the sketch; AKA Susquehannah Hat Co. and Flugle St.) in YEARS. Even now, the Allergy Guy still cracks me up! "Straw, that's what does it! STRAW!" Also, if you or anyone else wants to know, this clip is from the TV Documentary "Hey, Abbott!!", hosted by Milton Berle (I have the whole program on VHS; the man @ the beginning is Joe Besser, who plays the little kid from 5:18 on).
Milt Bronson (one of Lou's close friends, working with him in many of A&C's movies, radio and TV shows) is the "Insulted Guy"; Vera Marshe is the woman; Sid Saylor is the "Allergy Guy"..."Flugel Street" is one of the best-known burlesque routines ever performed, and Lou wanted to make SURE it was included in the filmed TV series {he insisted a variation of it- "Bagel Street"- be "shoehorned" into the movie "In Society" (1944)}.
I forget which A & C movie this skit was originally from but, as I remember, Lou was looking for Bagel street, not Flugal street. I guess they changed it for the TV program.
@ftsjr lots of their routines were repeated w/ different words. i believe that original skit was from 1944 " IN SOCIETY ". in total costello owed the co. $ 30.00.
haha-say something nasty about my brother-say something like,he shouldnt be out of jail--haha-thats how to start a fight from nothing,but a assertion..thx for posting.
Because of "legal reasons", the routine couldn't be perfomed as "Flugel Street" during 1944's "In Society". Lou, as previously mentioned, WANTED that routine in the movie, and found a way to "shoehorn" it into the film without any legal "consequences".
I find this funny for some reason...lol...Its just the stupidity of it...It makes me laugh...when the guy says "Your trying to poisin me huh?"..lol...and when he says "Say something bad about my brother...Say like he shouldnt get out of jail"..its so stupid its funny...and this is way before my time
well, unlike now, people were a lot smarter then. Their brains were developed by something called IMAGINATION. They had a higher concept of thought and a deeper understanding between the relationship as well as the comnection of things physical and spiritual. They were forced to develop mentally at a young age, unlike a large number of todays neurotic, effeminized, gender confused "wunderkind" children, on computers all day deadening their minds yet improving their reflexes- which is JUST WHAT THE US MILITARY WANTS...perfect future fodder for the coming wars. yep- Dumb to average IQ, good reflexes and WONT question the morality of a specific order, be it "BAD" or "GOOD".
The man who is allergic to straw in this sketch--isn't he the same man who appeared as a contestant on You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx? His name was Albert Hall, and I'll bet anything this is the same man!

Timeless American comedy classic!! 😊 😂😂😂😂
That sketch goes back to vaudeville days and predated A&C. Some comics substituted ''Bagel Street'' for Floogel. It's a classic either way.
Vaudeville elevated to an art form. I agree with one of the other posters. Their TV sketches were their best. This one in particular is a classic.
These guys are the best!!! Nothing like it today....
"My husband was killed by six men with guns."
"Six men with guns? Burglars?"
"No. A firing squad."
Now, that's funny.
as funny as the Laurel and Hardy joke when Laurel said his uncle had died by falling through a trap door and broke his neck. Hardy asked him "oh , was he in construction?" Laurel said "no they were hanging him."
I've laughed at this joke since I was a child. My father and uncle have laughed at this joke since they were children.
"They took the hats and...bop!!" "No, no, no, no..." I love the way Lou and Joe jumped up and down during this skit. Of course, the funniest part in my opinion is when Abbott breaks the hat and asks Lou to taste it.

I miss those times.
I can't believe they ad-libbed all that. Pure genius.
WHA ...?
SUS...QUEHANA HAT COMPANY??!!!??Salina Castillo little girls with long blond curls UP AT DAWN who work their fingers to the bone!!!

Joe Besser also performed with the Three Stooges for a time after the death of Shemp Howard who appeared in a couple of the A & C movies.
I just finished watching a 3 stooges video with Joe Besser. Actually, A LOT! I like him, he's funny.

sid saylor of "you an bet your life!!
Abbott: Taste that"..... I can't.
"I'll harm you" LOL

oOOOHh?!!
tried to POISON ME -
HEEEH?
This is way funnier than the Bagel St version.

that was beginning of the gag.
But the begal street one had a crazy guy destroying his store.

I have been wondering if these skits were improvised, or partially improvised ,as the commentary by Joe Bessar says.
The movie is In Society with the whole Susquehanna Hat Company and Bagel Street skit.
Because of "legal reasons", the routine couldn't be perfomed as "Flugel Street" during 1944's "In Society". Lou, as previously mentioned, WANTED that routine in the movie, and found a way to "shoehorn" it into the film without any legal "consequences".
Was that Joe Besser at the beginning? Sure sounds like him.
I would never wear one of those hats,they really suck,haha love these guys.
What episode is this from?
6:20 - 6:28 was one of the best parts ROFL
I find this funny for some reason...lol...Its just the stupidity of it...It makes me laugh...when the guy says "Your trying to poisin me huh?"..lol...and when he says "Say something bad about my brother...Say like he shouldnt get out of jail"..its so stupid its funny...and this is way before my time

karlakor yes u are sharp!!
karlakor Isn't he also the actor who appeared in the original King Kong as one of the reporters backstage on Broadway? Had a couple of speaking lines.
karlakor Just did a little Googling. I believe the actor's name is Roscoe Ates. He appeared in Freaks as well as King Kong.
The actor is Sid Saylor
Mistaken spelling. His first name is spelled Syd, not Sid.
Then turn your volume up, Rokuhina...
Their movies just can't compare to their TV sketches.
I thought it was Bagel Street
....I heard no sound....
actualy i didnt hear anything either, and my sound is definately up
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The Tomfoolery Show did this better.
