Abbott and Costello series (1940 - 1965)

American comedy films starring Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.
A pair of men are in different situations, using the same comedic themes.
I watched a ton of these, but not all. Let's start with a list of what I saw and whether I liked them:
Meet the Mummy (1955) no
Dance with Me, Henry (1956) yes
Keep 'em Flying (1941) no
Little Giant (1946) yes
Lost in Alaska (1952) yes
Mexican Hayride (1948) no
Pardon My Sarong (1942) no
The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap (1947) no
Who Done it? (1942 NO!
Buck Privates (1941) yes
Go to Mars (1953) YES!
Meet the Keystone Kops (1955) no
Ride 'Em Cowboy (1942) yes
In the Foreign Legion (1950) no
Jack and the Beanstalk (1952) no
Meet Captain Kidd (1952) no
Go to Mars was the best, without a doubt. I was actually laughing about some of the parts. There was a memorable scene in the spaceship in space. Everything including dialogue was slowed down and costello tries to fire a agun, only to find that the bullet drops from the barrel. Although Pardon My Sarong was a crap film, there was a song and dance number called "Shout Brother Shout" which had people dancing on a slippery table. The dancers would slide across the table in an impressive manner and continue dancing. In the Foreign Legion had a fishing scene I liked. Abbott was catching fish and handing them to Costello to clean. Costello dips them in the water they came from and a larger fish wearing human dentures eats them. In Little Giant, Costello is explaining how he figured out how many vacuum cleaners to sell. He does some convoluted math on a chalkboard which clearly took some advanced planning. Who Done it? was the worst because comedy and murder mystery do not mix well. Almost 80 years later, these predictable and repetitive genres mix less well. I liked how Lou Costello could play any musical instrument and the beautiful women always liked him. There were many repeated comedic themes:
Costello mistakes a word for another word
Someone doesn't look at what is happening
Costello handcuffs a man behind his back, but the man gets loose
Costello sees something, gets Abbott to look and by then it has moved
Costello sees something important, but is freaking out and unable to speak
The 2 are working as a team, with Costello undoing Abbott's work
Abbott is mean to Costello until his apparent death, but Costello hears him mourning the loss of his best friend he stole from, cheated, bonked on the head, insulted, knocked down...
I'm rating these tolerable. As a whole, the series was intolerable. Too old, hokey and repetitive. There were moments which made it all worthwhile. I hope that this explanation is sufficient to explain my long absence. You're probably better off not watching Abbott and Costello, but Go to Mars (1953) is worth seeing.
