valgreet Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Help! I can't remember the name of the Abbott and Costello movie that had the skit about formaldehyde. It went something like: Abbott:"Here, take this bottle and give it to Mal and tell him to hide it." Costello: "What's in the bottle?" Abbott: "Formaldehyde." Costello: "I know its for Mal to hide, but what's in the bottle?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 The skit sounds familiar to me, but I don't think it is from any of their films. There was a TV series in 1972 called The Kopycats, where impressionists Rich Little and Joe Baker did a few Abbott and Costello-like routines; perhaps that's where you (and I) heard this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valgreet Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Interesting! I remember The Kopycats; it could well be that I am remembering a skit from that show. The funny thing is, when I Googled to find out about this skit, I found instances in tech forums where people referred to "the Abbott and Costello Formaldehyde routine."
