I believe I have watched “Sons of the Desert” at least a thousand times. “Why don’t you model your life after mine? I do things and then tell my wife. A man must be the king of his castle.”
Fortunately for me, that interest waned back in the early eighties! A local station would show their movies on Sunday mornings, my sister, dad, and I would watch while mom made pancakes and sausages. I vaguely remember a feigned interest and not a lot of laughing at their insipid antics. We watched them ad nauseam, which is why I still won’t watch them today. I felt that back then it probably was the novelty of being allowed to watch TV in the daytime that made it “fun”.
There is always the movie when the meet the Mummy. What’s weird is that a member of the church was telling is when he tried to teach some history to teens a number of years ago & got to Egypt- they had no idea what a mummy was. Apparently they never watched even the Abbott & Costello movie, not to mention the many other involving mummies.
Best movie, along with Abbot & Costello Meet the Mummy and Son of Godzilla, for a sleepover with 8-12 year old boys. Then they asked to watch them every time they came over!

Don’t worry. There are about 3 dozen other terrific A&C movies to watch.

I disagree. Very funny movie. Infinitely rewatchable.

I feel that way about Caveman (Ringo) and Hard Day’s Night. That day will never come when I tire of them.

I can’t bring myself to like this one. It borders close to blasphemy!

I saw that one many years ago at my grade school, and laughed out loud at the ending.

I like the end where we get to see the invisible man.

Loved A & C as a child, and now, love their movies even more. Classics!

The 3 Stooges were the first tv I ever saw in the late ‘50s. Can’t even guess how many times I’ve seen various episodes but I still love them.

If a movie can make me laugh after a hundred times, I’ll watch it 101.

To paraphrase Douglas Adams, when you’re tired of Abbott & Costello, you’re tired of life.

My limit on watching “A&C Meet Frankenstein” is 10,000 times. And I’m not even close to that.
