let the voting begin
Gotta go with Abbott and Costello. still brings a lot of laughter
What about Wheeler and Woolsey?
They did one great "spook show" called The Nit Wits ("The Spider's gonna get you!"). That nailed me as a kid, seeing it on TV. Back in the early 90's I found the RKO laserdisc in a bargain bin for five bucks.
I like Hope and Crosby. They look like they are having so much fun on the Road shows. I'm sure they must do lots and lots of ad-libbing on those. Where are the results? I voted but the results didn't show up.
My favorite comedy is easily A&C Meet Frankenstein. I LOVE Bud & Lou, but 75% of the appeal is the monsters.
The funniest duo on Earth are Mr. Stan Laurel & Mr. Oliver Hardy.

That would be my choice as well. Kentucky Kernels and Hook , Line and Sinker are gems as well. If anyone hasn't seem em you should really check them out.

My sentiments exactly. I love Abbott and Costello even outside of the Monster Franchise, but all anyone has to do is watch "The Piano" from L&H to know true genius.
Let me sneak in three I enjoyed not mentioned....I know, they're television, but:

But I also love me some
Belushi & Aykroyd ;)
Wow, neck and neck!
I guess that works.
Back in the poster days of the 60's, amongst the psychedelia, I had a huge black & white poster of L & H.
This makes me wanna watch 'em right now!

Street Worm, many thanks for posting that. that made my day!! Man, I love those guys!

All of these comedy duos were great but if we are taking comedy teams-the Three Stooges with Curly as the third Stooge are hands down the funniest comedy team ever. No matter how many times I've seen them, the shorts still make me laugh out loud every time I see them.
Sorry I missed out on this vote. It would have been no contest for me. Abbott and Costello.
Also very funny were the Marx Brothers but they weren't a duo and I loved Hope and Crosby. Two other television duos I would mention would be The Skipper and Gilligan as well as Grandpa and Herman.
Bob and Doug McKenzie! 8)
I was too late to vote, but all of the choices were great! difficult to choose, there is also Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, and Peter Cook and Dudley Moore
I like them all .. I agree with Steve about Matthau & Lemmon .. I also loved Tony Randall & Jack Klugman on the Television version of The Odd Couple.
