The sarcasm of Abbott's stern straight man is the perfect comedic compliment to the muffled screams of Costello's blustery baaaad boy. This collection presents the flat-out funny misunderstandings and wacky word play you expect from Bud and Lou, and is a tribute to the legendary timing and chemistry that elevated one good natured goof and his patient pal to enduring symbols of silliness.
