Watts and Volts - classic Abbott and Costello skit
A classic routine by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, in the style of ‘Who’s on First’, where Bud Abbott tries to explain about Watts and Volts - only to have Lou Costello think that he’s talking about What’s and Votes. From their movie, Who Done It?
Cop: He got 10,000 volts.
Lou Costello: That’s enough to elect anybody, he should be president.
Bud Abbott: No, not that kind.
Lou Costello: What kind?
Bud Abbott: Volts.
Lou Costello: That’s what I said, he got 10,000.
Bud Abbott: You know what volts are?
Lou Costello: They’re what?
Bud Abbott: That’s right.
Lou Costello: What I say?
Bud Abbott: Volts are watts.
Lou Costello: Go ahead and tell me.
Bud Abbott: You just said it.
Lou Costello: I just asked you to tell me what I said. What I said?

Bud Abbott: Watts! Watts! Watts!
Lou Costello: What’s what’s what’s whats?
