His sense of comedic timing is spot on.

I was there that night I miss my ad he was a great humanitarian and wonderful man and he made the world laugh… I love you dad….

Such a shame that all ((or most) of these great people are gone . They were great !

Many of us are fortunate to have lived through an age that gave us the greatest comedians in American hisitory. I watched Red Buttons on this video and laughed until tears ran down my eyes. Adam Buttons, how lucky you are to have had Red Buttons as your father.

I cannot believe that Red Buttons was 84 years old when he delivered this masterpiece. Truly inspirational. I wish our elderly politicians had this commanding presence when they spoke. I would feel more confident in our government. I also always think of my beloved dad who passed 4 years ago. Dad loved Red Buttons, Sid Ceasar and so many others of this generation. I have watched this clip maybe 10x. It brings me comfort and always makes me laugh. ❤

Red Buttons was hysterically funny. Whenever I heard he was on television, I made it a point to watch. Loved Red. Rest In Peace!

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERATED COMEDIANS OF OUR TIME. HE WAS ALWAYS ORIGINAL AND HILARIOUS. ALWAYS! ONE OF THE BEST AND ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

His "Never Got A Dinner" routine he did on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts were one of the top highlights!

Being funny keeps people young - having a great sense of humor is the best medicine. But one thing tips even these benefits: you make other people laugh. Stand-up comics are my heroes. It’s actually, in my opinion, a higher calling - a spiritual person one. I never tire of tuning in to these sessions. And now all my friends are hooked, too. We’re all Red Buttons fans. I saw that red’s butler posted about his dad! Thank you. Sweetie, for these super-boosters. You can’t be unhappy after listening to Red 17:48 Buttons, alavashulem. ❤ 17:48

This is how you crush a room. Priceless comedy. Legend. The Ann nicole smith line was murder. You can hear Sid lhao then entire time. It's the loudest laugh in the room.

Red was one of the best! Great to watch these clips, including the Dean Martin Roasts. Comedy today has fallen down the stairs and I am still waiting for it to get up.

I think probably the most hysterical roasters of all time. He was pure brilliance. And beloved.

He was a genius and one of my favorite comedians.

One of the greatest comics of all time.

so funny , why cant these people live forever

What can you say? *He was one of the best ever. brilliant. just brilliant. you gotta love this guy.*

An absolute comic genius!!! Timeless... One of the best of all time!

Loved Red Buttons!!! Those old timers had perfect timing! Humor without vulgarity!! I miss those comedic legends!

I never laughed so hard...pure genius...I have watched this probably 2 dozen times at least..i have it saved..when I need a laugh I watch it..the build up of first giggles, they gawffs, then laughing out loud & then the whole room seems to vibrate with laughter, humming away...it should go down as one of the greatest "bits" ever performed..it is just that good..!!

Seen this routine dozens of times and I STILL laugh out loud every time.

An Academy Award winner. More that just a comedian.

I'd like to imagine Red single handedly created every word of this entire monologue... I betcha he did.

Truly one of the greats!!!

One of the greatest comedian ever.

Beloved Red Buttons..no one could make us laugh so hard like him. A genius!

An absolute comic master!!!!!

Loved Red Buttons. Always made me laugh. I miss him.

Adam , you have every right to be proud. RIP Red Buttons, one of the greatest.

Pure genius in terms of material and delivery.

So happy I could hear this...Red Buttons brings back beautiful memories of me holding my sides, laughing so hard. He was the funniest of them all. You were truly blessed.

Wonderful ! To be there live must have been sensational ! What a Great comedian. In time of crazy things happening in the world, I was crying so much I laughed.

Loved this! I remember seeing Red Buttons on The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts! Funny man! :)

The delivery, timing and content of these late, great comedians was the absolute best. A bygone era when free speech was still upheld and the PC police and professional victims were non-existent.

As a kid I only remember him from shows like The Love Boat, I never realised that he was one of the best stand up comedians of his era. Awesome.

Love this guy!! He always cracked me up! :) Truly underrated!

Red is a legend, he is incredible

Old Sid just passed away at 92. I once saw him jogging in Holmby Hills at 7am about 25 years ago

ALWAYS FUNNY! HIS DELIVERY IS WHAT DOES IT! SO VERY GIFTED!

Made my day.

love Sid!!!

HE is the ALLTIME GREATEST!

Great comedian & a American Master-thanks for the laughter and smiles-May you soul be in light and joy in Nirvana

wow...what a great roast speech

Funny, funny, funny stuff!

I wonder if he ever got a dinner after such a masterful delivery?

I've known OF him for years from films esp The Longest Day, but literally on the last week i am binging on him. I was there but didnt get a dinner.

Hail Ceasar. I agree with frank ferro. Sid, you gave us laughter...and all of us, are better for you. HAIL CEASAR.

absolutely hilarious that man the Red Buttons

my uncle.. the funniest comic , also great actor.

The answer is he wrote his material a genius

Red was the king of silliness. Great video, thank you!

The power of that laugh at 5:24 will reverberate thru space/time forever... :D

I love this! So much! these are the greats celebrating the hilarious funny natural talents.... Can enjoy themselves

What a comedians. I laughed all through this . God bless you red buttons

Your dad was a very funny man and a fine actor such class

Not only was I laughing till I cried but I thought why the hell do I take myself and life’s nonsense so seriously?

Tour de force Red!

I’m in tears laughing only Red !!

you forget how funny Red was.funny wonderful guy.

WOW! There are no words.

Yes I cry Laughing at him ,Jack Benny, Some of the Great comedians of all time

I was laughing so hard tears are running down my face. Thank you for posting this. His character in the The Longest Day was one of my favorite in that movie. I've seen him many times on the "more clean" Dean Martin roasts, but to see him at the real friars club in this video was amazing.

THEY MADE LIFE A JOY WOW HOW I MISS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM SGT USMC RET 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝🍎

ADAM D.Buttons; you are blessed: a great Dad&& man.

I was there...

Best laughs I’ve had in weeks. Thank You !

This is a high water mark of comedy!

red Buttons is hysterical here...and every time I heard him, i could not stop laughing!! Very very funny man!

80,81,82............91 RIP

I was listening to him and he said " I was salting and I was sucking " and I had been drinking Ginger Ale and literally did a spit take & had to keep from choking & was snickering for 5 minutes. It helps with the Orthodox Jewish Vampire joke if you're Jewish. Funny stuff. I once played a vampire role playing game and the game master asked me who my character was & I said I had been sent by the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem to investigate the strange deaths of the people in the area. She went along with it and everyone who was playing a vampire in the game was completely unable to do anything to the Rabbi. They were terrified of me & did not know how to react because none of the players were Jewish. I was one of the few non vampires that night NOT to get bitten and walked out of the vampire meeting area unscathed.

wonderful

This has been here for years and I'm just now finding it?? I'm so thankful! I had no idea what a genius Red Buttons was--no idea! That Bing Crosby bit?? I downright laughed out loud 'cause his delivery was so believable. The whole thing was artistry--and I never knew! I've been robbed! I used to shrug, meh, over Red Buttons--and now I know I missed a matter all along.

Funny man!

Brilliant !!!!!

Hysterical.

That boy deserves a dinner!

dont forget he was an Oscar-winning actor too

Never got a dinner

Still had it , funny witty guy !

this guy was funny I liked him in the Poseidon adventure

I love the x-ray joke!

This was a truly funny man, one of the most underrated comedians of his time. I had only known him from his lame performances in "The Longest Day" and "Hatari." Then I found these wonderful appearances of his on KZfaq. I've seen them many times and I still laugh out loud. God bless him for giving us so much laughter.

What a class act!

Why are we letting this man make a speech, when so many great men never got to make speech?

Damn it! He's hot! I don't know who wrote his material, but it's strong!!

Q world class performance!

He's got his dinner with the Lord.

Just hilarious

"Next time you're having sex and you don't want to talk to our husband." "If you're going to have sex with an animal, do it with a horse.? -- Priceless.

RED👍

If you want to do stand up, study a legend, RED BUTTONS!

always loved red

Like a time machine , have only seen him in the Dean martin Roast, damn his old. Prob dead now.

Yes I was at Beverly garland hotel

Now, that man was a PROFESSIONAL COMEDIAN. Today we have Leslie Jones and Amy Schumer, who aren't qualified to shine this man's shoes.

May have to borrow that horse joke!😂

Hilarious!

You are looking at the real humorist. Doesn't hit you over the head with it doesn't have to go overboard being filthy or violent or nasty. More subtle is his style that allows the audience to reach for the funny. After a while his delivery itself is hilarious. Listen to the howls of laghter before even speaking. Always wondering what twist the story takes. The annual Quazimoto rub-a-hump for luck day! !!

Red was 83 and still hillarious

My God did he kill that!!
