Abbott & Costello - "The Noose Hangs High" Dentist Sketch - 1948
Ойын-сауық
[From "Kovacs Corner" on KZread.com] - Tired of staying awake due to Lou's toothache, Bud drags Lou to the dentist for an extraction. Here the dentist, played by Murray Leonard, works on the hapless Costello. Also look for comedian Fritz Feld.

*Phone rings* "hello? The Red Cross? You want a quart of blood?" Looks at Costello deviously and chuckles. "I'll have it to you in an hour"
Psychiatrist: Lou Costello isn't real, he can't hurt you Lou Costello: 5:40
"How about some gas?" Sure check my oil too
"Hey! My tooth don't hurt no more! Look!" *smacks himself in the cheek* *sings "it's time to say goodbye"*

Double negative translation: "Hey, my tooth hurts anymore!"
Dr. Richards is a master dentist...he leaves all his patients with PTSD
His style is most unique and suited him perfectly. It would be near impossible to find a comedian of such a natural talent. Even the three stooges had a pretentious aspect to them except perhaps Curly Howard whose innate unique character was another rare one amongst the great few!
I wonder if anybody else remembers an abbot and Costello skit where Lou is trying to go to sleep but can't do it and he rents asleep record and ends up putting his feet up on the wall as he struggles to sleep. it's hysterical

“Does it hurt here?.... here? .... must be here.” Wack. 😂😂
Going to the dentist in 1948 had to be a harrowing experience…LOL.

Visits to the dentist have been portrayed as a hilariously harrowing ordeal for at least a century in movies, TV shows, animated cartoons, and live vaudeville skits.
I'm honestly surprised no dentist made a complaint about their profession always being portrayed as so intimidating.

Who gave this man a Dental License? Then again it could be worse, Dr. Richards could be your surgeon
Have you ever seen Supreme Court justice Elana Kagen and Lou Costello in the same room together at the same time ? ?

I grew up on this stuff. Is it any wonder I had an irrational fear of dentists?
Ever notice these dentist skits seem designed to make people terrified of the dentist?

@sonrouge - Where would the comedy be if dentists were portrayed as gentle and non-threatening?
if he was my dentist, he'll be losing some tooth himself.

Yea sounds like my dentist
Yes..Fritz plays the shrink..who thinks..that he's lost his mind..when he sees"Tommy's"(Lou's)head..coming up thru his floor.
This is why kids hate Dentists
My former dentist..Dr.Judiah Orkin..Jud would have found this scene..funny.
Mr zomdis about 20 years before lost in space🧟
4:53 nut tap!
Just put it in second and leave it there!!!!
This is what happens when you don't have dental or a seeing eye dog.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
how easy it was to get things done..no insurance,no papers to fill out and it was free lol
I think this dentist reminds me of Rodney dangerfield.

It's from one of their movies The Noose Hangs High.
I get the feeling Lou didn't really enjoy this sketch, his irritation is sometimes a little too real. The big part is the incompetent dentist; Lou is only a supporting role to him.
making fun of dentists is the best thing
Sorry but being an Abbott & Costello fan, this is not good at all.. if you want to see the funny version of this sketch, see it with Lou Costello and Sidney Fields. Same exact sketch, but the one with Fields is actually funny. . .
