à mourir (de rire)

expliquer pourquoi ce sketch m'a fait pleurer ce soir serait bien compliqué et personne ne comprendrait... je vous propose donc ce chef d'oeuvre absolu de l'histoire du spectacle, de l'entertainment... si ça vous dit quelque chose, c'est normal mais je sais que personne ne l'a jamais vu... alors prenez six bonnes minutes et votre temps et... have fun... ce n'est pas drôle, c'est du pur génie !

LOU: I love baseball. When we get to St. Louis, will you tell me the guys' names on the team
so when I go to see them in that St. Louis ballpark I'll be able to know those fellows?

BUD: All right. But you know, strange as it may seem, they give ball players nowadays
very peculiar names.

LOU: Funny names?

BUD: Nicknames, pet names. Now, on the St. Louis team we have Who's on first,
What's on second, I Don't Know is on third---

LOU: That's what I want to find out; I want you to tell me the names of the fellows
on the St. Louis team.

BUD: I'm telling you: Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third.
