BUT SERIOUSLY: Abbott and Costello meet the Super Bowl

COSTELLO: "So, Bud, you're a huge NFL fan, from what I gather."

ABBOTT: "I don't want to brag Lou, but I like to think I'm the biggest, actually."

COSTELLO: "Excellent. So, if I have a Super Bowl question, you'll have the answer for it, then?"

ABBOTT: "Absolutely. I guarantee it."

COSTELLO: "That's a relief. I've gotta tell ya, this has been driving me nuts for quite some time. For the life of me I can't find the answer anywhere. So, I'll stop beating around the bush, do you know the band that's performing at halftime?"

ABBOTT: "Who."

COSTELLO: "The band playing at Super Bowl XLIV."

ABBOTT: "Who."

COSTELLO: "The half-time band."

ABBOTT: "Like I keep saying. Who."

COSTELLO: "OK. I can see I'm getting nowhere. Let me try a different tack. After the second quarter is over and the announcer bellows into the loudspeaker, he will introduce who."

ABBOTT: "Duh. I wouldn't expect them to come out without any fanfare."

COSTELLO: "You wouldn't expect who to come out without any fanfare."

ABBOTT: "Precisely."

COSTELLO: "Oh brother. This is turning out to be more difficult than I had anticipated. I'll try another approach. Just as a refresher, who's playing again."

ABBOTT: "That is correct. For 12 beautiful minutes, I might add. And I can't wait."

COSTELLO: "For who."

ABBOTT: "Bingo. One of the greatest bands of all time."

COSTELLO: "And who is one of the greatest bands of all time."

ABBOTT: "For my money, they may be the greatest."

COSTELLO: "Who.

ABBOTT: Yes."

OSTELLO: "I still don't get it. After they come out, who will sing a medley of their greatest hits."

ABBOTT: "Indeed they will. And to a standing ovation I'll bet."

COSTELLO: "And after they're done who will be paid."

ABBOTT: "And quite handsomely, no doubt. My guess is that after the show they will be laughing all the way to the bank."

COSTELLO: "Who will be laughing all the way to the bank."

ABBOTT: "You got it, Pontiac. One assumes they'll probably still be laughing all the way home from the bank, too. I mean, can you blame them."

COSTELLO: "Blame who. I've never met them."

ABBOTT: "You're joking. Why didn't you say so in the first place. I can take care of that. I have backstage passes."

COSTELLO: "You have backstage passes for who."

ABBOTT : "Yeah. And they told me to pass one on to U2."

COSTELLO: "Who told you to pass one on to me, too."

ABBOTT: "No, to U2. But I'm sure they won't mind if I give theirs to you."

COSTELLO: "You sure who won't mind."

ABBOTT: "I'm sure U2 won't mind either. Trust me, they're all really down-to-earth guys. Show business hasn't changed them."
