      The best lesson from the immortality of this bit is that the cleverness or elegance of a joke is overrated Nothing about the baseball players' names makes any *sense*, the setup couldn't obviously be more forced, but it's the sheer commitment to the bit that mattershttps://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/1227855509723611136 …

      I use this bit often for work-related reasons, sometimes linguistic or (in this case) comedic, but every time I can't help but get sucked in & watch the whole bit bc it is just so genius, & it goes to show that sometimes comedy can be (close to) timeless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcRRaXV-fg …

      In fact the bit is a lot funnier than it would be if the wordplay were based on some kind of believable misunderstanding

          I dunno, that version [Who, The Band, and Yes] was still pretty funny on Animaniacs

          Damn it, I had the exact same thought and was going to post it as a response.

          This is my first time seeing the whole bit, and it feels like most of the comedic charm and craft comes from the spectacle of the fast lines and quick switches

          Survivor's Remorse did a riff on it where "who" was the World Health Organization. Also, the context was female genital mutilation, as in "WHO classifies FGM as abusive!" "Well, who?"

          Ron Stevens and Joy Gridnick did it with a concert lineup of The Who, Guess Who, and Yes ("Aaaargh! Will you tell me the name of the third act?" "Yes")

          Which is why I think this is the best version to date. The Who, The Band and Yes are all real bands, and two of them did play Woodstock.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlXjIg4fH74 …
