Jun 14, 2020

The comedy duo known as Abbott and Costello was one of the most iconic pairs in entertainment history. They made countless numbers of viewers laugh back in the 1940s and 1950s. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that they still can get people laughing today. This is demonstrated by the reaction that people still have today when they view the legendary parked car skit for the first time. It is impressive to see a piece of comedy history that is still able to make people laugh to the point of tears.

For many drivers, the act of parallel parking is one of the most frustrating things that they ever have to do and something that many dread to the point of avoidance. It is no secret that it is made even more challenging when there is a lot of traffic at the time. The Abbott and Costello take on this issue, from an episode of their classic TV show, is one of the things that makes it relatable and hilarious.

Parallel parking one's self into a parking spot on the side of the road can be difficult enough, but it can be just as difficult getting out if other people parked too close to the vehicle in the time that has since passed. This is a common enough situation but Abbott and Costello find a way to make it a truly hilarious one in this legendary comedy bit. Their goodhearted attempts to assist a Mrs. Bronson are well-intentioned. The comedy pair assures her that they can help her with her situation of being unable to get out of her parking spot but it is soon evident that they cannot back their claim up.

It is only a matter of time before the comedic pair is arguing with one another and the whole thing devolves into a truly comical situation. Poor Mrs. Bronson gets to watch her car take plenty of abuse as they try to manoeuver out of the parking spot. The situation does not improve at all when a local police officer attempts to come to the assistance of Abbott and Costello.

This classic bit is a prime example of the fact that some situations continue to resonate with people regardless of the amount of time that has passed. Anyone who has ever tried to get themself out of a tight parking spot can relate to this classic bit of humor.
