	I thought to myself: I don't know - third base

	Of all the funny things said by funny people over the years, this may be the greatest sketch in the history of comedy. Nice one, sporcle!

	McNeal:	Sep 5th, 2009 at 20:36 GMT	28 points
	Naturally

	Ouch... I have to admit that I was one of the few who got Tomorrow but not Today...

	I'm surprised the shortstop was near the bottom. His name is given right at the end, so it should be well known.

	"Naturally" works for first base? What?

	deej:	Sep 5th, 2009 at 20:57 GMT	37 points
	bows his head in prayer for the 0.3% who didn't get "who"

	refwen:	Sep 5th, 2009 at 21:05 GMT	15 points
	you would think "who" would be 100% because the name is "Who's on first"....but no

	theurbanmapper, What is on second. ;) If anyone wants to see Abbot and Costello doing the bit, here's a link to it: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8342445135331678445#

	Costello: So tell me the name of the guy in right field. Abbot: Nobody plays right field. ... And so begins the lost piece of the bit, and the tradition of having nobody in right field continues today.

	This is the only comedy sketch I know of that I know word for word by heart (and therefore know what's coming) yet still laugh every time I hear it.

	bosoxfanzz:	Sep 5th, 2009 at 22:16 GMT	3 points
	8/8 in 19 seconds... shocked that almost 50% get 3 or less...

	Great sketch that will forever be remembered as a classic. Maybe it's just me but not as many classic sketches anymore in comedy. Don't get me wrong, there are good ones, but not as many that will be remembered as this one, Johnny Carson, etc...

	Great quiz!!!!!

	shel99:	Sep 5th, 2009 at 23:34 GMT	4 points
	Naturally should be a bonus answer...

	cocky:	Sep 5th, 2009 at 23:34 GMT	11 points
	Unlike Chappelle, you can watch this sketch with your children. If you have to explain the humor in this to people, they are beyond hope.

	HollywoodLeo:	Sep 5th, 2009 at 23:43 GMT	5 points
	@jtrichey, the names aren't directly what's supposed to be funny, it's the play on words that's funny. When he asks "who's on first" and the response is "yes" and the confusion that ensues is the hilarity. If you don't find it funny then whatever, but that's what's supposed to be funny, not the mere fact that they have the names.

	http://www.harryshearer.com/projects/radio/#the_credibility_gap - The Rock Concert version of this. "Who's on first?" "Yes." "So Yes is on first." "No, Who's on first!"

	BEST comedy ever! Love the quiz!

	wischr:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 01:26 GMT	6 points
	I remember hearing this about 10 years ago when I was in my mid-20s at the Baseball Hall of Fame. I was expecting it to be some moldy, tired old routine, but couldn't believe how funny it was. I was doubled over with laughter.

	Dave Chapelle is funnier than David Cook though (by quite a bit IMO), but neither has a single sketch funnier than who's on first. Anyway it's such a timeless piece.

	They don't make sketches like that anymore. One of their best

	HollywoodLeo:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 04:00 GMT	8 points
	@jim, but it's not quite as funny as people whining about American centric quizzes on an American website.

	chuckster:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	5 points
	This is unbelievable--I just saw Rain Man yesterday for the first time. I'm totally googling this sketch.

	i did this TODAY and TOMORROW and I DONT KNOW, I DONT CARE, BECAUSE, NATURALLY, i dont know WHY or WHAT i did wrong (all the answers are in this quote

	HollywoodLeo:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 05:10 GMT	-3 points
	@snowman, you forgot the most obvious answer. FAIL (Yes, I see "naturally" but that really shouldn't be an answer. Naturally is not on first)

	Kris:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 05:36 GMT	4 points
	@Robert-Do you mean Dane Cook? David Cook is the singer from american idol...

	iceman1731:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 07:43 GMT	3 points
	Must be a bad game with no right fielder

	thefinestmuffins:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 08:08 GMT	2 points
	@Emperor_Ziggy: Is that really a missing piece from the bit, or are you making that up? It is odd that there's no right fielder... Thanks, Sporcle. One of the best.

	Looks like I'm one of the 0.4% who struck out on this quiz.
