Added DiffLines:

[[AC:{{Comedy}}]]
* AbbottAndCostello's famous "WhosOnFirst" comedy routine, where Abbott tries identifying the players of a baseball team to Costello, but Costello's constant misinterpretation of the players' names and nicknames as non-responsive answers leads to Abbott constantly invoking the trope ... and leaving Costello even more confused and frustrated!

-->'''Molly''': No, you that wasn't Puss and Brutus, and what you mean is arbutus.

-->'''Molly''': Arthritis is when your joints swell.
-->'''Fibber''': Well, that's what I say. Any place that sells flowers on every street corner is a swell joint.

OncePerEpisode. They'd usually involve him innocently using some figure of speech, which Fibber or Molly (or both) would either take too literally or otherwise misinterpret, sometimes on purpose. [=LaTrivia=]'s subsequent attempts to clear things up would only create more confusion, making him increasingly flustered and confused and generally reducing him to [[{{Angrish}} sputtering, incoherent rage]] by the time his visit was over.
