First they met Frankenstein and now Abbott and Costello have VIP tickets for a meet and greet with The Mummy!
Bud and Lou also incidentally meet the Invisible Man, The Creature from the Black Lagoon and uhh The Keystone Cops over their 22 year partnership.
Here the boys are in Egypt, trying to convince a professor to hire them to escort an uncovered Mummy back to the United States. The pair become embroiled in a plot between cult leader Semu (Richard Deacon) who wants those magical Mummy vibes all to himself and badass business woman Madame Rontru (Marie Windsor) who wants the sweet coin from the sale of such a rare artefact.
There are lots of jokes about Bud referring to the Mummy in the Egyptian context and Lou misconstruing this as a term for Mother instead. Like a lot of jokes about this. There is a whole bit where Lou keeps discovering an un-alived body, runs away with his trade mark ‘heyyyyy Abbott’ schtick and when he does return with Bud the body is missing. Oh and the pair trade back and forth a cursed necklace, resulting in Lou eating the damn thing while stuffed in a hamburger.
The Mummy had some seriously parched lips and I kept wishing someone would give the dude dude a drink.
And that scene with the three mummies was giving serious Spider-man meme vibes.
