no one plays a drunk better than Foster Brooks he's an excellent actor.

One thing Dean was known for on his show was his refusal to rehearse. So his reactions were completely spontaneous and genuine.

It really is a shame that we lost entertainers like these gentlemen. Real talent.

There will never be another Foster. He was the best and after 55 years I still laugh.

Poor Dean, he couldn't keep a straight face! This is absolute gold! Thanks for posting!

The guy was a genius. Not only could he mimic a drunk so well that it made you wonder if he was really smashed or acting the part. Not only that but he NEVER broke character. In all the time I have seen him act, the audience would be howling with laughter and he never so much as cracked a smile at his antics. THAT is the mark of a true professional.

When Foster says he's a brain surgeon, the look on Deans face is priceless!

Foster always reminded me of Tim Conway. Both were very skilled at getting their co-stars to crack up. RIP dear fellow.

This guy was a comedy genius..love it

You can put those two sketches or whatever they're called on an endless loop for the rest of my life and they'll be funny every time.

Foster Brooks played drunk better than real drunks.

Two class acts that cannot be replaced. Humor at its best, absolutely brilliant. Anyone can do bathroom humor and I mean anyone. Only real talent can do this. God bless them both may they rest in peace. They gave the world great happiness and joy. That is the greatest gift of all!

Clean family-friendly comedy. Timeless. How mr brooks can keep a straight face while making everyone bust a gut laughing is just plain skills not many comedians now days have this ability

The skill and professionalism required to control that act is incredible. I love how Brooks bows out at the end - sober. Real class.

When I watch these I think of my Mom and Dad in the living room and my brothers and sisters running around the house playing. Back then you thought you would never age. What I wouldn't give to go back for one night and experience all that again. Mom and Dad are gone now so with one Brother, don't take anyone for granted.

OMG!!! I saw these years earlier, watched them again and laughed harder than I have in months. Great comedy is truly timeless!!!

Dean was one happy guy and he really enjoyed these great comedians!

Priceless... These guys left shoes that will never be filled by anyone else. Dean, as always, the greatest straight man there ever was. It's so great watching these two guys together....

Please beam me back in time when people had a sense of humor and life was the best.

OMG its 2018 and this is the funniest thing I have seen in 20 years. What the hell happened to comedy in this country

Foster Brooks was a comedy genius!

These guy's were comic geniuses. Families watched these shows like this together and everyone just enjoyed good clean comedy and were entertained to the fullest. I won't comment on what's considered comedy today.

HILARIOUS😂🤣👏I remember watching FOSTER BROOKES in the '70's NO CURSING GOOD O'L CLEAN COMEDY 👏👏👏

The best drunk actor ever.

Andy. Thanks for this timeless gem. God bless.

How in the world did anyone ever work with this guy and not crack up? A brain surgeon! LOL I have seen every Dean Martin roast with Foster. What a talented man. The Jackie Geason, Lucille Ball and Sammy Davis Jr. ones are classic!

Brooks always made a point of conspicuously slipping out of character at the end of a performance to show the audience that he was not actually drunk.

It’s not just the line...it’s the “in the palm of my hand”, with that hand shaking for all it’s worth. Foster Brooks was hysterically funny...kudos to Dean for holding it together as long as he did!

I remember these shows when I was a kid, made me laugh hard back then. Carol Burnett show was great too

THAT is funny!!! THAT is what comedy is suppose to be like!

Timeless comedy. Intelligent. You don't see it anymore.

Best drunk there ever was !! I grew up watching these shows. A simpler, happier time. When you could just have fun and laugh. Way better than these P.C Bullshit times.

I love when DEAN MARTIN tries everything he can to not lose focus....but then realises it's hopeless.

Thank you so very much for sharing this video. I love, adore, miss so much the good old day comedy.

Dean and Foster are hilarious together.

His brilliance will never pass again this way

I just love foster..makes me laugh no matter how bad things are..👍😘

FosterBrooks was a Born Again Christian and a great person in real life. Excellent curse free comics are a rarity . God Bless you Foster.

I love to see dean crack up lol 😂

Foster would be awesome in parties hahaha

Foster makes me die laughing. Always did. We used to religiously watch Dean Martin's show, and loved when he came on.

Hometown guy, Louisville, Kentucky, never forgot where he came from.

Amazing actor, so natural.

The dislikes must be under 30. Foster was a treasure. No more like him these days.

You know whats amazing to me is how Dean starts cracking up pretty much almost emediately right when foster shakes his hand is when dean loses it and the skits done thats when i loose it to this is to funny this os comedy at its finest

So funny loved Dean's Roasts Foster Brooks was naturally funny

Foster was an consummate professional. Well written material, fellow performers and audiences absolutely losing it and he never breaks character -- which makes it even funnier.

When hollywood was entertainment

forster brooks he was real funny

Love them both

Do you have a drinking problem? Not as long as the bars are open. Best answer ever

THERE'S FUNNY THEN THERE;S FOSTER BROOKS FUNNY

Great days indeed .

I think I enjoy watching Dean laugh like a little boy as much as I do Fosters act!

Back when entertainers were entertaining.

GENIUS...😂😂😂😂

Wet my self what an amazing actor

Hysterical! Absolutely fun. Nothing vulgar, nothing controversial..just pure fun!

He was one of a kind.

Good Stuff, today's comedians don't compare.

Boy was he good or what! !

My god this is hilarious 😂

Comedy Gold!

They don't make them like this anymore.

And he wasn't the only one crying with laughter.

Foster Brooks didn't drink.but he sure could act!

There’ll never be a better comedian.

my 3rd time watching so funny briliant!

Foster Brooks was so believable playing a drunk. As a kid I thought he was because Dean would be belting them down and Foster comes on and let the antics begin.

Okay. I'm old. The first time I saw Foster Brooks on "The Tonight Show." Carson was the host and no-one had ever heard of Brooks. Carson had just moved the show from New York to California. Brooks was introduced as the mayor of Burbank who had made a special trip to welcome Johnny to his new home. Dear Lord, but it was funny! Carson, of course, explained that it was not the real mayor of Burbank but a comedian named Foster Brooks. According to Wikipedia, that was in 1972 - and I still remember it . . . 46 years later.

THANK GOD FOR FUNNIES

It’s a funny bit, but Dean’s reaction makes it hilarious.

When comedy, was comedy!

Someone in your condition!

They just don't make them like Foster any more. What a class act!

I watch this Dean Martin episode many times and never left any harder than I am doing now I've got two going down my face

I remember Foster when I was a little kid. I loved him then and still appreciate his work now.

Golden moments

YES,MAY GOD BLESS FOSTER BROOKS!!!

LOL!!!! The best EVER!!!!!!!!!

Awesome. Love and miss Dean Martin and his show. Watched it every time.

This is the stuff I remember watching when I was growing up. Thanks for the memories.

Good clean family comedy, what happened to wholesome fun.

Brilliant comedian

No one cracks up Dino more than Foster Brooks.

He's got Dean in tears...

I laughed so hard the people in the apartment next door are pounding on the wall.

Mr. Brooks did a great job on these. I loved Foster!

2 of the best right there never be anyone like them 2 ! Sure do miss them days !

He always had me rolling on the floor. He carried with him so many lines that were gems ... and not a curse word in sight. Today comedians think it's funny to swear. It's offensive.

Foster was a genius at his art.😀

Foster Brooks was one of the few people who could make Dean Martin laugh until he cried 7:20

Classic... Love it...😎

This is TRUE classic comedy!

Thanks for the post!

I Love This!!

Every one of his videos are funnier than the last! HYSTERICAL!!!!!

God rest both of your wonderful, loving, talented, heartfelt souls. May your souls forever rest in eternal peace in God's eternal kingdom. All of us GREATLY and DEEPLY miss both of you so much. You will always be in everyone's hearts and prayers and always remembered and never forgotten. In closing, this writer would like to offer a poem in memory of your talented and class entertainment, and what you did for all of us: The sun goes down and leaves warmth upon the land. The tide recedes and leaves seashells in the sand. The music stops and echoes in sweet refrain... For all you`ve done and given to all of us, only beautiful, heartfelt and cherished memories will forever remain.

Hilarious!

Brooks was a comic genius. Even Martin cannot keep a straight face, and Brooks NEVER breaks character. The airline pilot is a legendary performance of the highest caliber.
