Really cuz all I see is a piece an unfunny piece of shit

My wife's American friend, believed, years ago that Regan, was the best President. He looked a great sport. Nowadays we believe Trump trumps the lot. We love Diamond and Silk giving Pres Trump the praise he's due. We love the man ! Trump 2020! God bless America. In God we trust !!!!!

Michael Lawrence shutup soy boy

@@michaellawrence9839 Really ? I bet you are a joy at a party. I'm sure Don is way over your head.

sic ric relax it’s insult comedy just like Rickles! Don’t be so overly sensitive

Apparently Frank was the one who told the kid to tell Don “be funny”

Frank said Rickles was insane!

@@johnrogan9420 well he was the only one that could make Frank laugh, and make fun of the mob, and live

Jonny Carson, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Don Rickles were the greatest Legends we will never replace.

@@feshes5171 and Rodney Dangerfield

TrueeeeeE

yeah, wingin' it at an Eddie Van Halen level.

He didn’t book this gig or Bush, he was such good friends with Sinatra that he absolutely refused to perform at the inaugurations unless they let Rickles perform too.

doubt he fully "winged" it

I found one of those, my friend. But he’s a little shy to go on stage. But could maybe be the next don rickles, just saying. They have the same sense of humor, both wing it and keep you still laughing when your lungs dry out. 🙏🙌🤝

Not anymore. Its a one way street now.

The only thing that is funny to the left is making fun of Christians and President Trump

Yeh... Emmanuel Lewis (Webster) is a little child actor in the eighties he is probably thirteen years old at that moment

@@quenchfeline9951 I don't think you've got your math quite right there...

@@Aidansim511 he was almost 14

why "nowadays"?

That "little child" is actually a then-17 year old Gary Coleman.

He was truly a legend. These were times you could tell a joke when people were not all into themselves. Oh how I miss those days. R.I.P. Ronald, Nancy and Don.

Can you please explain? It’s the only joke from this I don’t get, but it’s still hilarious.

@@ryancasablancas8361 And If You Don't Know Now You Know... Faith healer act / scam - lookup Billy Graham if you're not familiar with him.

They were actually friends and Rickles regularly roasted Reagan on the Dean Martin roasts.

Sharp as a tact

Timing was impeccable

The best part for me is that Don was a lifelong Democrat, but could still give a classy, yet biting routine about Reagan. These days, none of these so called comedians, especially the losers on SNL could have the backbone to perform in front of and still be classy in front of a politician they don’t always agree with, and this goes back to Will Farrell and Bush. To them, it’s just about how stupid they can make the other side look while they do what they can to make their side look hip.

Awwww

Watch the Dean Martin Roast of Reagan when he was governor - some of the material was adapted from there. Still funny...

I wouldnt consider it his 'comedy pinnicle' so much as his featured center of jokes in a prominent person, the president, yes. Robert at 66.

WOOOOOOW

@@jamesdavison2927 no, Rickles would sometimes say it was. For him to perform for Reagan's 2nd Inaugural celebration was one of his favorite moments. He'd talk about how Sinatra stood up for him when the ones planning the event said no, with Sinatra saying "If you don't have Rickles, you don't have me". Sinatra was still prominent enough in the 80s that it held serious weight.

Do you honestly believe he got up in front of the president, at what he considered the biggest gig of his career, and “winged it?”

I think that was about one of the only times I ever seen Don pull up short. But he turned around just unloaded on Mr. Lewis.

I'll integrate this into my bucket of classy phrases.

take a shot every time he says "Anyway, uh"

I'd die of alcohol poisoning

We’d all die.

You fuckin said it

😂😂😂😂😂

The original mic-drop!

Still is. No one will ever take his place.

M V Don Rickles died 3 years ago. But it’s true, no one will take his place. Rickles, Joan Rivers, even George Carlin couldn’t pass muster in this PC world. And forget Redd Foxx.

People had their egos on their real achievements. Now they bet their souls on opinions on the internet.

Remember when racism wasn’t in america... oh wait

Darrel Mignery yep this dude named Darrel disapproved racism completely.

Dont forget, back when also there was two genders. Male and Female.

Then don’t vote for trump...

Jk not much will change under Biden either, we’re pretty screwed

Amen. Unfortunately our children today are educated not on history nor the ability to think critically and seek common ground; rather it is all about feelings and if you do not agree with me there must be something wrong with you. How sad.

This comment aged well will smith wouldn’t agree

That’s what people don’t understand. Insult comedy only works if it comes from a place of love. People only react negatively to hate dressed up with cheap laughs.

@Silver Fox I would have paid more to be in the front row and be the target myself

Because Rickles at the end of his set would always say it's all in good fun and that he loved and respected his targets. He made certain no one ever took it personally.

His whole act was being an unfunny bully. Pass.

@@JB1994 He was really funny. It's you.

Check out Norm Macdonald

I heard that was completely unscripted.

robertk2007 That was back when the progressive socialists were still seeping into the liberal democratic party for political power and tenure at prestigious universities. Now, they are overrun by socialists. Semper Fi

fleetwoodray thank you for your service

robertk2007 You don't hear a lot of folks calling themselves Reagan democrats any more. There used to be hundreds of thousands. Imagine a popular conservative getting that much of the democratic base behind them in this political climate, unlikely.

Pitt Stainz there are no more grandfatherly movie stars to con rubes into voting for trillions in tax cuts that cripple our economy boo hoo

Not when Reagan was Governor. He roasted him good, and stuck in the fork.

Mister Warmth is what they called him

all in good fun though

I was surprised that he didn’t get a standing O for that great performance.

in case you didn't notice that's how a roast is supposed to go: first you thrash, then you compliment...I love Don as well but what you said ain't something that defines his performance in particular

+Leon Davis Class.

That is really a great interview. His documentary Mr. Warmth is really good too.

if thats not true it should be

I always liked Don Rickles. But I appreciate him more than ever. Has there ever been a comedian who was quicker ? Rickles roasting Sinatra on the Dean Martin show; incredible !

Mike Robbins Rickles was quick but he wasn't improvisational. At least he wasn't when he was doing his act. He has thousands of bits on file in his computer brain and he pulls them out and fits them together in an infinite number of combinations For example, his classic, "if you're a (fill in the blank) I'm a Mau Mau fighter pilot!" It works brilliantly because the last four words have lots of hard syllables. He can spit them out from between his teeth. It takes timing to the nanosecond. Only the greats have that kind of timing. Bill Cosby had exquisite timing. Like an atomic clock on steroids. Everything you see Rickles doing here has been done a thousand times. The same thing, but slightly different each time. Genius.

I'll tell ya this

Yep haha 🤣🤣🤣

That is exactly what I was about to write out when I saw your post. LOL

He's the king that's why LEGEND

More like an elite globalist

Reagan was the one president I wish was alive to have a drink with

back when we had a president worth respecting, not an idiot orange game show host

Hunter Childs ask him about human trafficking

Magneto Rex nope, Reagan was a zionist crook like the rest

"Is he laughing?" Norm macdonald said the same thing roasting willy

And a devoted husband to one woman for 52 yrs until the day he died

Unlike today's comedians who seem full of hate, one always got the impression that if you got roasted by Don Rickles it's because he actually liked you. People saw it as an honor to be the butt of his jokes.

will zmith every Fuckwit celebrity says that to trump now

@schindler91589 another lefty calling trump illegitimate even though he won fairly and squarely. How the irony of your comment doesnt cease to amaze me. Please leave the internet and dunk your head in a tub of your own tears. For the good of humanity.

"Every elected president I don't like is illegitimate!"

@JediNxf7 knowing that you will probably never read this, but to call out your simpleton statements, if the US were setup like the UN, the vote would have been 30 to 20. You remind of a 1 celled algae, "but, I went to college."

@@robertshapley5330 the difference is back then you could disagree and go for a drink. Now every lifetime pol on both sides suck, the liberals are deranged and the republicans are spineless.

Especially how he pulled the mic back before saying it.

@@PeeboTyson Sadly that was rare in the entertainment industry back then. Sure you had some African Americans in the industry but it only seemed they were only there as a curiosity. Don Rickles is a great example though he was no racist and does talk about it. However, some of his content is questionable, which the audience happily laughs at, even though it was funny.

Damn right, legendary

Every generation thinks it invented everything.

Mic drop!

Should throw the mic as hard as he can at someone in the audience. Maybe someday it will be a thing.

I'm pretty sure this is the earliest mic drop iv seen.

Ramped Upp fr, don rickles is hilarious

+Ramped Upp while I don't disagree with your comment about humor, you need to be honest that it cuts both ways.

theactioneffect I’m 29 but I know a lot about the good ol days. That era was the best for everything. Actors, politics. America needs to go back to this era

@@cagnazzo82 Back then, we had shared values of honor, respect and basic morality. Today, we have cancel culture and a complete lack of respect for people's beliefs.

Except that the “killing snakes” line is interesting. Reagan was rumored to have had a casting couch encounter with a young Elizabrth Taylor, according to her authorized biography by Darwin and Prince....

Well thank you for pointing that out. Much appreciated.

Great analysis!

@Diss Raps hes black

@Diss Raps Because there were several TV shows in that era featuring a black child character (either an actual child or a dwarf).

Exactly what I thought First ever and his was actually funny!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rickles and Reagan were pals. Letterman was telling a story of how they used to have a drink together on many different occasions and not strictly publicly all the time. Right after he passed away if I remember correct, during a tribute on his show. P.s. Its great to see actual living beings able to take a joke. Nowadays Mr. Rickles opening would end his career like someone else pointed out already.

It also adds to the hilarity that Nelson Riddle just stares at him...

LMAO. I agree that one got me. I think cause the guy was looking right at him when he said it. Classic Rickles
