Phone conversation with confusing names

[GlowInTheDark]

-Who's calling?
-Watt.
-What is your name, please?
-Watt's my name.
-That's what I asked you.
-What's your name?
-That's what I told you.
-Watt's my name.

A long pause, and then from Watt,

-Is this James Brown?
-No, this is Knott.
-Please tell me your name.
-Will Knott.

-Why not?
-Huh? What do you mean why not?
-Yeah! Why won't you tell me your name?
-But I told you my name!
-Didn't you say you will not?
-Not not, knott, Will Knott!
-That's what I mean.
-So you know my name.
-Of course not!
-Good. So now, what is yours?
-Watt. Yours?
-Your name!
-Watt's my name.
-How the hell do I know? I am asking you!
-Look I have been very patient and I have told you my name and you have not even told me yours yet.
-You have been patient, what about me? I have told you my name so many times and it is you who have not told me yours yet.
-Of course not!
-See, you even know my name!
-Of course not!
-Then why do you keep saying of course Knott?
-Because I don't...

[Pause]

-What is your name?
-See, you know my name!
-Of course not!
-Then why do you keep asking Watt is your name?
-To find out your name!
-But you already know it!
-What?
-See, and you know mine!
-Of course not!
-Exactly!

-Listen, listen, wait; if I asked you what your name is, what will be your answer?
-Watt's my name.
-No, no, give me only one word.
-Watt
-Your name!
-Right!

(pause before it hits him]

-Oh, Wright!
-Yeah!
-So why didn't you say it before?
-I told you so many times!
-You never said Wright before
-Of course I did.
-Ok I won't argue any more.
-Do you know my name?
-I do not.
-Well, there you go, now we know each other's name.
-I do not!
-Good!

[pause before it hits him]

-Oh, Guud!
-Good.
-No wonder, it took me so long, is that Dutch?
-No, it's Knott!
-Oh, okay. At least the names are clear now Guud.
-Yes Wright.

hehehe, does anyone have the origional of that where they are talking about a baseball game and its something like
Who is batting
What is on first
and
Dunno is on third
or something like that

 

[happypeppie]

Who's on first?
What's on second?
I don't know who's on third.

 

[The_White]

Something like that. Some famous comedians (can't remember names) had an entire routine based around that.

 

[laura-ann]

My goodness that would take a while to come up with!

 

[bubblegirl23]

Was it Laurel & Hardy?

 

[The_White]

[J'r'd]

[marli]

Was it Laurel & Hardy?

It was Abbott and Costello, I think.

 

[psychoceramic]

the guys who did the who's on first comedy skit is Abbott and Costello. i have a vhs with the skit on it.

some of the best comedy in the world.....

 

[Shocka]

Hahaha

 

[kajun]

I did an abbot and costella rendition of who's on first for a theater competition- it was funny

 

[childoffaith]

I had the whole thing memorized when I did it for a speech class. It was a duel.

You can't find humor like that anymore. My family had the original radio productions of Abott and Costello, Burns and Allen, etc. on cassette tape. We used to listen to it while making supper and we'd laugh out loud, rolling on the floor! George Burns and Gracie Allen were my favorite. The had a good one that was about Gracie spending too much money. She had been buying anything and everything all the door to door salesmen were selling. One day George told her not to buy anything else and she was to say "No" to any more salesman. The skit is so long, but a really funny part goes something like:
Salesman: How are you today?
Gracie: NO!
Salesman: Are you alright?
Gracie: NO!
Salesman: What's wrong?
Gracie: NO!
Salesman: Am I disturbing you?
Gracie: NO!
Salesman: Well, then perhaps you'd like to hear about these great new super strong polygraphic, micro absorbing, cleaning clothes!
Gracie: NO!
Salesman: Please take a moment....
Gracie: NO!
Salesman, catching on finally: Has someone, perhaps your husband, told you not to buy from salesman anymore?
Gracie: NO!
Salesman: If I were to ask you to buy 100 of these clothes at $1.00 each would you say no?
Gracie: NO!

So when George comes home his house is full of these new cleaning clothes, or whatever the product was. It's much funnier to listen to it because Gracie Allen is the great grandma of all ditzy blondes. No one can compare or copy her, she's the original and the best.
