1. Certain words in this routine cause confusion and misunderstanding between the characters because Abbott is saying the players name but Costello thinks he is asking a questions.

2. For example when Abbott says "...lets see we have on the bags Who's on first..." Abbott is trying to explain to Costello that the person on first base is Who but Costello thinks Abbott doesn't know the players name.

3. This is funny because because Costello is getting more and more frustated because he just wants to know the players names and Abbott is saying it but Costello doesn't know.

In the skit, Whos on First, the words in the routine cause confusion and misunderstanding between the characters because some of the names are words that people use frequently.

For example, when Costello asks about the names of the baseball players, he asks, "I throw the ball to who?" And Abbott replies with "Naturally." Abbott thinks that Costello is using the words as names, but he is using them as normal words. Costello is very confused, he thinks Abbott is asing questions when he is actually saying the names of players.

This wordplay creates humor for the audience because both Costello and Abbott are confused with eachother over wordplay. The names are normal words that you would use frequently in your life, so they are fghting over confusion.

How the wordplay confuses Costello and Abbott because they are using question words for names. For example it is confusing because Abbott kept saying who witch was the first baseman and Costello thought it was a question. It is funny because Abbott kept saying answers but Costello thought he was asking him the names.

Certain words in this routine cause confusion and misunderstanding between the characters because, some of the names are times like tomorrow.

One example in the skit is when Costello asked what the pitchers name was, Abbott answered with tomorrow but Costello got confused.

Wordplay created humor for the audience because Costello didn't understand the pitchers name, he was obnoxiously loud and was talking very fast.

How the word play confuses Costello and Abbott because the names are question words and common words.

For example, Abbott tells Costello the names by, "Who" Abbott said, "The guy" said Costello. "Who". 'How does he sign". "Thats how he signs". "Who". "Yes".

This is funny to the audince because Costello is getting angry because he thinks that Abbott is asking him the names but Abbott is actually telling him the names and is getting confused.

Certain words in this routine cause confusion and misunderstanding between the characters because they are using normal words as people names people use every day.

The players names cause Abbott and Costello to misunderstand each other because the word naturally is used as one of the names, and the other meaning is the actual meaning.

The word who also uses word play. This word uses word play because it's a question word but, it's also being used as a name.
