Awesome.
I'm pretty sure I saw this during Saturday Matinee on a black and white TV.
Gotta have a certain attitude to appreciate Abbot and Costello.

Raygun Gothic

Raygun Gothic refers to any creative work from 1900 through about 1959, predicting the future before it became possible. Think rockets and rayguns, flying cars and futuristic cities - especially if the vision never quite panned out in reality. We find this aesthetic in product design, book covers, films, radio & TV. "A tomorrow that never was". The same style as in the Fallout games, The Jetsons and so on but focused on the time period through the 50s.

We had them all on VHS growing up.
Who's on First is funny, there's hundreds of funnier things they did. Pioneers and legends. There hasn't been a comedy duo like them since.
Agreed so much, they had incredible chemistry, and timing and just an incomparable ability to do humor, especially off of each other.
I’m pretty sure the lady doesn’t have her midriff exposed and the colorization is wrong. Either that or she doesn’t have a belly button.
Haha you're right. In the black n white picture her shirt it covering her belly.
