Bud + Lou

It is probably gonna seem strange to some people, especially people my own age, maybe even older than me, and definitely younger friends, but my personal favorite comedians are not what you'd typically suspect. No, not Adam Sandler, not Denis Leary. No it is not Jim Carrey or Chris Rock. Not even Robin Williams or Bill Cosby, both of whom I adore, can take the title of Wendy's favorite funny men.

Any guessers? I will give you a minute....





Well you'd probably be quite off the mark. My guys aren't even alive anymore, sadly, not just to me, but sad for the world! My favorite comedians are Lou Abbott & Bud Costello!!
My parents really have affected the things I love. LOL! We have been watching Abbott & Costello movies and specials as long as I can remember! I have seen basically every movie they made together and many specials, which are SO hysterical! I want to own the dvd's for their variety shows, though I am bored to tears while other people are on. If Lou and Bud are WITH them, then it can be funny as it always is, but I am more interested in a skit with my MY "fat guy and skinny guy" than any other stars of that time period.

Have any of you ever seen "Hold That Ghost"? It is my most favorite Abbott & Costello movie! You HAVE to see it, own it, rent it!! The moose head is my favorite, it is so good! Lou Costello is my fave of the two, the chubby one. He is absolutely adorable and the funny half as Abbott is the straight man usually...if you don't know what I mean and think Bud and Lou are gay now...we have nothing to talk about, go, shoosh, leave this place, I say!! Anyway Lou is usually the one made a fool of but Bud has done it too, so I love them both, and one without the other is like cookies with NO MILK!! It is an abomination!!
But Lou is my lil crush!

There have been so many movies they starred in, from a variation on Jack and the Beanstalk to movies with them in the Navy, etc. But my most fave of them are the ones where they face off against scary movie guys. Frankenstein, The Mummy, Jekyll & Hyde, etc. With Hold That Ghost being at the top of that list.
These are THE best of the best, though there are at least a dozen more that I consider favorites, so I am telling you, you will laugh your full head off, go rent these, they ROCK!!!
