Lou Costello

March 6, 1906 – March 3, 1959

☆ American comedian, actor and producer was best known for his double act with Bud Abbott and their routine "Who's on First?".

Abbott and Costello, who teamed in burlesque in 1936, were among the most popular and highest-paid entertainers in the world during World War II.

During a national tour in 1942, they sold $85 million in war bonds in 35 days. By 1955, their popularity waned from overexposure, and their film and television contracts lapsed.

LAST POLL OF SCRUNGLES ROUND 3

Who is the scrungliest little guy? (round 3)

Abbott & Costello [scrungly unit]

Marie Dressler

Voting ended onJan 15, 2025

Abbott and Costello (Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man)—We tend to forget how funny Abbott and Costello are because their entire legacy has been submerged by Who's On First, but they were OG comedy/horror vets churning out so so many movies that both played into the Universal horror scares and also sent them up brilliantly. I think Costello is super cute :3 (abbott is there too but mostly im submitting costello lez be real)

Marie Dressler (Dinner at Eight, Tillie's Punctured Romance, Anna Christie)—SHE WAS SO SCRUNGLY. A vaudeville star who didn't hit it big in Hollywood until she was in her 60s. She had the most delightfully expressively scrunched facial expressions and often looked goofy and manic as an old lady while STILL stealing the show from her hot young costars.

This is round 3 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you’re confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.
