That's a classic. I showed my son a clip of "Who's on First?" and he couldn't stop laughing.

For math, I like the one where they talk about liking a girl who is just ten years old but Abbot is 40. He is 4 times older than the girl. If he waits five years, he will be 45 and she will be 15. He is only 3 times older. Wait another 15 years and he is 60 and she is 30. Now he is only two times older. She is catching up! Abbot says that this won't work because soon she will be older than him.
