He was the GOAT! Miss this type of comedy.

I am

Yes indeed!

Had never heard of him until last night after seeing a clip - now on a long binge!

🙋🏾‍♀️

You’re a somebody!

Grew up on Michael Landon and would have loved to have met him. I rarely see anyone accept the inevitability of their mortality with such grace

Don't say that.. you are somebody..

He would be a great person to meet. I've heard he's the nice guy he plays.

But racism so not actually clean you weirdo

@@timbo8940 oh guys he made fun of black people Aint he a racist

TiMbO 89 stfu dumbass even he was laughing

You make a point. But it was on network television. I'm guessing private roasts held at the Friars Club and other clubs went much further.

@Michael Richmond Rickles isn't racist as hell, he's dead you idiot.

Rickles did both. Many of his lines were prepared. But he delivered them with such professionalism, such talent, that he appeared to be making it up as he went along. Rickels also had a very fast wit. So he would improvise like no one else could.

@@NoEgg4u how the hell do you know this???

Comedy is not as easy as it looks. He wrote them. They have professional writers for roasts, he probably got suggestions from writers, I don't how many jokes were his own or from the writers for these roasts.

@@theviking2877 Thats not true he once said in an interview he had never anything written for him in these roasts except television. Obviously some jokes he already had memorized in his head.

@@theviking2877 this wasn't 10 years ago kid... Everyone had their own jokes

Truer word have never been spoken

nothing to add to that lol

he wasn't funny though was he some kinda Mafia that everyone had to listen to him?

Kurt Waffelzahn he was a comedian

@@domfrommelb27 well, then a bad one cause as I said: not funny.

Omg you are so correct

meh it wasn't that funny, bit low brow.

NOT POSSIBLE!!!

Because there's to many whining arse snowflakes in this world simple 👍👍

Lewis Black is about the only one around.

Because of the exaggerated political correctness.

@@AngryRantsAndStuff As much as I like Lewis Black, even he doesn't hold a candle to the Great's.

I envy you. I really do. But GOOD for you Barry.

I flew to Las Vegas in 1985 saw Dino at MGM and got to shake his hand and Mr S at Golden Nugget and meet him backstage as I was only 23 and he appreciated I wrote to him and came so far. I walked past Mr Warmth's Billboard a hundred times during that week. I would trade all my wonderful experience for just one ticket to Don Rickles. I know he would of welcomed me with a genuine warm hug and then ask me . . . 'What did you do leave your kangaroo in the Lobby?' What a Champion 🏆

First time I saw him was in Atlantic City I live about three hours from there drove down went to the Show and drove back home....couldn’t even get a room. The second time I saw him was in New York City Regis Philbin Howard Stern we’re all in the audience and I remember Regis Philbin looking red like he had a ton of make up on. It was a Townhall and I was in the front row and he picked this college kid out of the audience and was ripping on him for 20 minutes and I think I cried the entire time! It was so funny it hurt! The kid was a good sport he knew it was a joke, I wish people could take a joke these days...

Bob hope???

Foster Brooks?

Don is good but he's not the quickest wit when he repeats his jokes every routine lol he's more delivery than quick wit.

Thanks for viewing and the comment.

If he wasn't happy he would have punched him Rickles roasted everybody

rest assure they all loved each other too

@mike rockfort Yep and yep

@mike rockfort Oh yeah. Just like someone else commented here it would just be gasps and boos or silence followed by maybe some boos. People have been brainwashed into being sensitive about everything. Pretty sad. It shows that nobodys an individual that can think for themself and they have low self esteem. Really is sad

Elipsis...

@mj. rock Could not agree more!

You are absolutely right. He was such a classy comedian and the best. I do miss Don Rickles. He just makes me laugh even now with these classic untouchable Roast. RIP Mr. Rickles. He was such an ICON! 💝💝 2019

Thank for the comment.

no one cares about your identity

for the racist psychopaths no their age is gone

Sir, with your comment you are insulting dregs, if only the current standard was as high as dregs, some hope would there still be !

@@homebrandrules Quite Right. Ive insulted Dregs! The absolute filth that theyve branded as modern entertainment makes me wanna hurl every time.

I love how you can just have a good time and nobody takes it personal try that today what time workouts was saying to Bubba he would be ruined

@@jdbarr769 You are correct !

Sorry ...didn't get that. What does it mean?

OMBhanu ever Seen a chocolate bar with almonds ?

It's a Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar with Almonds..

You would never get away with that comment about bubba nowadays

Bubba was ready to make him eat those words

He did have a very distinctive & a very funny laugh! Loved it!!

Not everyone. Look at Rich Little's face.

They cut out as Rich was looking, shall we say "perturbed"? He might have been getting pissed. That was a good Gable.

Adrianin Cano Rodriguez Thanks for the comment.

Adrianin Cano Rodriguez oh yes thanks~~~~

agree

He was racist tho

We live in a fascist America

@@timbo8940 No. It was just a put on

@@timbo8940 A racist Jew? The man was hilarious and an equal opportunity offender! Everyone he hit knew how to take a joke. Try it yourself instead of BEING a joke!

YES he was ...the very reason I watch little house in the prairie.

bluenote824 jones PLEASE!!!

yeah kinda looks that way.. kinda sad (however b4 my time)
