This is very well made, you have a great talent with your cinematography and your acting skills are also very talented. I'm working on a show at the moment for UA-cam, it's been on and off in development for six months now due to my constant need to perfect my work. You're a great inspiration and I do not understand why you aren't the most popular man on UA-cam.
@Proceeded This is a spoof of the classic Abbott & Costello routine "Who's On First" (possibly the most famous comedy sketch of all time), which they began performing in the 1930's. But the birth of this type of wordplay misunderstanding sketch actually dates back to vaudeville theatre in the late 1800s. Even Abbott and Costello's famous sketch wasn't the original version! :)
LOL!! I totally love how you started the skit word for word the original.. Then totally went off into left field.... Why? I don't know, He's on third and I don't give a damn!.... But no really, good job guys.lol :)
'WHO' is on first "WHAT' is on second "I DONT KNOW' is on third, Outfielder is "WHY", center field is "BECAUSE" and pitcher is "TOMORROW" and the catcher is "TODAY" and finally "I DONT CARE" is shortstop!
@Gaboou First of all, it's not blood. It's chocolate. Secondly, I agree. TV censors sex much more than violence. I'd rather my kids grow up with a fondness for sex than for violence. If I had kids, that is.
@hihihihi985 "This is a spoof of the Abbott & Costello routine, rewritten by Greg & Deef! Directed & Edited by Greg Benson Camera Operators: Brian Kameoka & T.J. Rotell" Congratulations on reading.
@mediocrefilms2 No worries man, great response. And with my script it's more or less a solo effort on my part sadly and I've written three full twenty minute episodes. The length may become an issue.
@rbenefiel65 I wonder if those blood splatter effects ship with some video editing software, because I've seen them used in several clips here on UA-cam.
I loved the part in abbot and costellos act where the storm trooper would come out. way ahead of its time... star wars didn't even exist before the 70's... but did that stop them?
I think the originall is funnier because when its censored, its supposed to be obvious that it's a bad word, but here it just blends into the conversation. Lol, still...!
That has very little to do with Abbott & Costello, and yet it's funny as hell because I have seen more arguments (that have started over less important stuff than this) turn just as loud and profane and abusive (thankfully, not all of them violent). These guys have the two-half-drunk-micks-in-a-bar attitude down pat!
@Maharoba But why is that so? I could still clearly see the first blow and knew that a human was laying on the floor being beaten. And no need to call me a moron for speaking my mind- I actually love The U.S. but of course there are things I don't like and/or understand about it...
LOL I didnt notice any difference from the first one I saw, did my brain just fill in the fucks and shits automatically, what did they cut out then LOL
I'm not sure I like the uncensored version as much as the censored version. Maybe because the original Abbott and Costello is clean by today's standards but that doesn't make the video any less funny.
@mediocrefilms2 Thanks for answering. :) I couldn't tell what the blood tasted like because of the black and white film (censoring of colors, hehe). ;)
@rockjockcanada How about you lecturing me about the oh so great death penalty, which doesn't exist in Germany? Besides- I am talking about here and now and you're still dwelling on the past (which I am not denying, but I wasn't living at that time). I am also half Polish, but for sure you have something to say about that too.
Lol, it would have been so awkward for you guys to do your monologues and act when no one was acually next to you. Or did you film it with someone next to you reading the lines? How DID you do it??...In a nutshell...
The amount of curse words just made this like ten times funnier
This video is so great. Love the uncensored version so much more.
This skit never gets old for me. xD
gotta love abbott and costello, they had a few skits like this
dude this video came out like right after my english teacher showed me the original version............u r ma hero!!!!!!
All your stuff is original and thats why i stay a watching you man! thumbs up dude!

Swearing makes this spoof even more funny. Good vid. Greg!
@Pugbert Wow, thanks Pugbert! Best of luck with your show, but don't stress over perfection. This video was shot and completed in about 24 hours!
This is the same as "Who's the Tank." Lol I love this.
Great stuff Greg! Laughed myself silly!
LOL!! I totally love how you started the skit word for word the original.. Then totally went off into left field.... Why? I don't know, He's on third and I don't give a damn!.... But no really, good job guys.lol :)
Ahh! I love the classics. This reminds me of a simpler time when the world was young. **sigh**
Nice work, Greg!
This was awesome!
Oh, that is absolutely beautiful.
Like this version far better!!! Keep them coming!!!!!
Wow thanks, I didn't understand the joke in Rain Man, but now I do! Great lol
hahaha this is great only got it now watchin the unconcerned version
OMFG! This version cracked me up!
'WHO' is on first "WHAT' is on second "I DONT KNOW' is on third, Outfielder is "WHY", center field is "BECAUSE" and pitcher is "TOMORROW" and the catcher is "TODAY" and finally "I DONT CARE" is shortstop!
Laughed my ass off at this lol
This is comedy XD We need shows like this in TV
Wow, that voice at 2:29 scared me coming out of him! Fun stuff.
@Hitzification your reply made me laugh almost as much as the video!!! lol I am glad some of us are able to read!!! lol
@Gaboou First of all, it's not blood. It's chocolate. Secondly, I agree. TV censors sex much more than violence. I'd rather my kids grow up with a fondness for sex than for violence. If I had kids, that is.
lmao. my dad was just telling me about this original skit just only a couple days ago.
Haha Abbott and Costello, my favorite :D
LOL I like the uncensored version best, cussing and insults make it so much better.
Oh I get it! The word that got bleeped before is "fuck". Mystery solved! Glad that got straightened out.
Storm troopers? In my old time comedy bits? It's more likely than you would think.

Congratulations on reading.
Uncensored version ftw!
@MestizoFilipino Storm troopers show up every once in a while in mediocre films sketches, they're a running gag. lol
@mediocrefilms2 No worries man, great response.

it's now on liveleak
magnifico!!
I'll comment here too, just so you know I watched both.
@mediocrefilms2 hmmm totally faved and your best video ever ! classic jokes "Greg style"! i hope no one flags it though
HAHA THAT WAS HILARIOUS
I loved the part in abbot and costellos act where the storm trooper would come out.
way ahead of its time... star wars didn't even exist before the 70's... but did that stop them?
This video is fuckin hilarious.... keep up the good work and leme know the next time to steal some fruit. Mail some to me ^_^
I think the originall is funnier because when its censored, its supposed to be obvious that it's a bad word, but here it just blends into the conversation. Lol, still...!
this is fuckin awesome
YES! Way to get around flagging! Thanks! I hate censorship! Best Who's on First rendition ever!
looks like 3 people missed the like button
and it was a big part in the movie "rain man"
@hihihihi985 It's called a spoof.
this is great but maybe im missing something, whats with the storm trooper? if its another vid i want to see it
That has very little to do with Abbott & Costello, and yet it's funny as hell because I have seen more arguments (that have started over less important stuff than this) turn just as loud and profane and abusive (thankfully, not all of them violent).

You guys didn't make this up, some guy named Greg Benson created this. Bad people, bad.
@MyDogBarksToU
He DID?! That S.O.B.!
@mediocrefilms2 ok, I get it, but who is on first base?
I suspect that's K.E. in the stormtrooper outfit. Am I wrong?
Bonus video - Do the same sketch but use Yeshmin Blechin and Kollack Kollack
@ 1:27 - 1:30 F##K the baseman!!!
This version will never be on AMC. haha
stormtrooper?!?!?! wtf! i laughed my a** off though
LOL I didnt notice any difference from the first one I saw, did my brain just fill in the fucks and shits automatically, what did they cut out then LOL
i like the part where they said fuckin
@PipYuki lol nicely done
Bud abbot is turning in his grave, he said and I quote laughter comes from the belly not the groin, this is tasteless
You should have said "fuck" a few more times.
$200 says this video will be flagged in a week because of someone overeacting.
I'm not sure I like the uncensored version as much as the censored version. Maybe because the original Abbott and Costello is clean by today's standards but that doesn't make the video any less funny.
for some reason its funnier when its censored, i don't know why though.?.?
fucking classic!
love it!!
LMFAO!!!!!! fucking funny! at first i dint understand but i catch on....
The little guy didin't get it, i did for the first time :)
I actually like this one better, in all seriousness. But I don't get the storm tropper.
@mediocrefilms2 Thanks for answering. :)
I couldn't tell what the blood tasted like because of the black and white film (censoring of colors, hehe). ;)
Haha fuck yes! this made me day
fuckin awesome
\m/ \m/
lol. same number of views as the censored version. thats how its done :)
I like da blobs lol
@Gaboou I'm sure Greg loves to get lectured to by a German about violence.
NSFW means: ???
Best Video ever "First comment in 3Months Ahh Hell yea"
@rockjockcanada How about you lecturing me about the oh so great death penalty, which doesn't exist in Germany? Besides- I am talking about here and now and you're still dwelling on the past (which I am not denying, but I wasn't living at that time). I am also half Polish, but for sure you have something to say about that too.
@MyDogBarksToU maybe I don`t know xD
I don't know...
@mediocrefilms2 Well said. I do however, condone the violence against innocent chocolate. :) Keep up the good work!
@mediocrefilms2
Buddy would be very sad if he knew you said you didn't have children. :(
@hihihihi985 no shit read the description
LOL
Lol, it would have been so awkward for you guys to do your monologues and act when no one was acually next to you. Or did you film it with someone next to you reading the lines? How DID you do it??...In a nutshell...
Oh my gosh, Who paid for the abortion!
Monty Python ftw!
@linebackr94 Thanks
