Yup.😄👍🏾

Oh yes!

You got that right my friend

You could be drunk on TV and not get fired!

Yes!!!!

Wouldn't you just once have loved the camera to pan back so you could watch the whole table of guests react? My gosh...I've never ever heard Don Rickles laugh so hard in my life!

I really enjoy these roast. Very funny bring them all back.

I've actually had the fortune of meeting Don Rickles once, many years ago at the Resorts Casino in Atlantic City. It was his last performance after having done around 30 years there. Truly a class act. He was a pistol off stage as well as when he was on. He was the best at his style of comedy. Foster was in great company the night they roasted Don!

You are so right,, legend talent

It's mind-boggling when you think of all the comedy legends on the stage alone. I've noticed that there are some in attendance who are in the audience. I mean, wow! I see a very diverse table of people up there. In this day and age, when all people want to do is call each other racists, these people actually made fun of themselves and each other and laughed about it.

That would be Mr. Rick, Rick, Rick, Pickles to you

Agreed! 😆

It's a different time now. Back then we tell jokes have a laugh and then get to work...

Humanity has lost its sense of humour...

😂

Yeah, today somebody is gonna feel "dissed" & then the fights on.

Indeed. Half the jokes he made here would have him banned and canceled nowadays.

if someone finds something funnier, please post - this is GENIUS

He just has to LOOK @ U... I'd pee my pants n heartbeat from...LMA0!!!... ❤😂😂😂😂👍👍

Another great from that time was Jonathan Winters!😉👍

Winters was hysterical and another genius

And he never broke character, either.

He's amazing

It always amazes me how the greatest comedians can stand stone faced while saying the most outrageously funny lines.

Yes, and as soon as his bit is over, he *COMPLETELY* breaks out of character and becomes his regular self. I saw this show when it first aired---I was eighteen.

Enormous discipline and self-control to perform his act successfully.

Foster Brooks was no Harvey Korman who couldn't hold a straight face telling a joke even if his life depended on it. Brooks was in a class by himself. He was just side-splitting funny and to think he never drank . LOL.

Fun fact... The character of the "Lovable Lush" was based on Foster's Father!

copferthat That's what truly breaks the heart. I'm not sure how it is in the UK, but the FCC in committed an act of war when they took Saturday morning cartoons off the air. When I was a kid (before I got into school) I used to watch Saturday morning cartoons and Saturday night British comedies.

Agree with you. The world has become too sensitive. A funny joke these days will get you fired. This was Hollywood's Golden Era. The actors were special back then. Today, it's known as Hollyweird.

Yessiree! America suffers this loss greatly! Much love from Texas!

Foster Brooks,

Jonathan Winters,

Absolutely, my brother and I had a great time trying to be Foster Brooks. This is one of the best clips ever - his roast of Lucille Ball is awesome too.

He certainly was!! I laugh so hard i cry!

He was the comedian's comedian. There will never be another like him.

@@muffiecat777TV

He was Soo funny.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

Because they are not blk ghetto trash

I’m pretty sure there’s a healthy measure of denigration in this act….

Ditto! 👍👍

Deano was crying with laughter on this Foster standup brilliance, Dean could usually keep it together but not on this night. Classic, real entertainment by the masters.

He destroys Dean EVERY time!!!!

Foster Brooks was always one of the roast highlights. Pure comic genius and a National Treasure.

Yup !!!

“A great credit to his race”-Archie Bunker

Bet you could tell some funny stories!

Please share your stories! What a blessing and gift!

@Diana Lee Thank You so much for all the entertainment you provided to my parents, grandparents, and ourselves...I remember all the truly hilarious skits and songs and guests from those shows, and we were truly blessed by You and Your Peers...Thank You Very Much for So Much...God Bless You!!

Way cool......Martin seemed like a really genuine nice guy......as opposed to that POS buddy of his Sinatra.

Diana Lee, how very lucky were you to have worked with such a great talent as Dean Martin & the ultimate comedian,Foster Brooks.

Hello Annie

Amazing Foster Brooks!

Dean loved him. He had him on his show many times

@@kaveman1021 And yet i never know about Foster until this video, cause i love Don Rickles and watch all about him. Foster Brooks killed there!!!

I am sooo glad I found this. To see Don Rickles overcome with laughter and Dean Martin wiping tears put of his eyes is classic! I watch it regularly and keep skipping back to the 5 minut mark to hear Rickles " cackling" with laughter.

Don Rickles needed to make a shopping list!

When we were watching and enjoying these NONE of us ever realized that eventually when they were all gone we would be left with garbage for entertainment.

That pp..ppppuh...Puerto Rican guy?

@@Pandemos more to the point how did foster brooks manage to keep a straight face? He had them in tears of laughter on both sides now that is pure talent. March 2021 🙏❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🤤🤣🤪🙄😁😅😃❤🙏

Martin is laughing so hard that he can't even find his mouth to take a puff on his cigarette!

Besides the brilliance of his jokes and gags, the technical aspect of Brooks' voice control with all the stammering, belching and stuttering while still remembering his routine was brilliant. They broke the mold after they made this guy. A true comic genius...

@@paulcrisp9861 ppp

Miss miss miss them all.

Ditto! Whenever I need to laugh, I come here, and watch Foster Brooks DESTROY the room!!! Great stuff!!!

Yes. Did you notice he bumped into the lighting sconce?

Y

@Pirabee are you trying to say they didn't curse off screen ?

@Pirabee actually I think it was more of professional ethics. I heard Red Skelton say once that he knew 1,000 dirty jokes but he felt that if he couldn't make people laugh without being dirty he wasn't a very good comedian.

It is strange that until now no one has ever said that these videos of the past help them retain their sanity. Because until now that is exactly how I have felt. So atleast that makes two of us. Well put.

In the 60s 70s in the 🇬🇧 we had Tommy Cooper, in the 🇺🇸 you had Don Rickles. People who made people you cry laughing just by walking on stage. There aren't any funny professionals around today. Political correctness and trying to be clever comedy have killed show business.

I was only a kid then,still found it funny.

Foster Brooks was awesome and go niners 👍💪

@@mikethompson8539 #NinerEmpire

Roy Boy...... Boy, you sure said it! It just does NOT get any better than back then!!! I, also will access these videos when I am depressed. I do NOT feel depressed for long after having watched them!!!

Yeah, his Pilot skit is comedy gold 🤣!!

Maurice Jones is

Maurice Jones This is how to roast someone; they butter the guest of honor up with plenty of flattery then hit them hard with the jokes.

They still have roasts. And they're funnier than this.

rosenb37 no, they do not and NO they are NOT!!

@@BRO77TX its not even close to dean martins celebrity roasts

He's not a Drunk, He's an intoxicated American!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But you are so right!!!

He is a drunk act just like Dean Martin....

Foster said he didn't know Rickles but he had had relations with his wife!!! And he is out of scotch!!

@@lyndaoldham5608 Well, it was his fault for answering her ad in the Hollywood Free Press.

best drunk ever? what about Phil Mitchell?

What was great about this was, during the "revenge" roast, Don had nothing but praise for Foster Brooks. It moved the heart. Truly!

when this country was the greatest, no one got upset and we all laughed together....

What a gentleman lol.

You nailed it!

Right on you figured it out

Steven Vensky Your are so right ,we need more people like him to make us laugh again

Foster Brooks is an idiot

@@BigfootBionic You don't get to be president of NBC for being an idiot. That's reserved for your current POTUS.

love foster, but Gabriel Iglesius IS in their league.

The dentists skit?

@@malfunctioning_little_twerp owh vvt

By

@@stevenlang90 The dry cleaners skit also. These guys were genius of comedy!

Snort, so funny.

and he had a wonderful singing voice

NOBODY bashed Rickles like that. Bravo Foster.

Even when I was a drunk i couldn't get it right

@@jasonvandervalk3679 LOL

so true

The same here

No they dont make them like this anymore, which doesnt mean its worse, just a different time.

same here, Halloween 2021

You don't see talent like this today, their all trying to teach you about wokeness or some other political agenda. I truly miss all these old shows they were very entertaining.

Yes I totally agree ...if you look at all the different colored faces all laughing at the jokes, which after all that's all they were, it was so good to see. Back then black could laugh at White and white at black without anyone getting offended or upset. The left liberal woke snowflake brigade have hell to answer for ...they have divided different colors races and religions with this BS political correctness and it's destroying unity all over the globe. BLM are some of the biggest race haters on the planet and have sent race relations back 100 years. It was the democrats who ran the slave trades but they like to blame good American patriots for it...the democrats started the KKK but throw the blame on every one else. BLM and ANTIFA are the two biggest domestic terrorist gangs in America and it wasn't patriots that spent a year burning cities down murdering innocent people looting and thieving before Biden stole the white House in the biggest election fraud in American history it was BLM and ANTIFA. WHEN A PERSON OF COLOR SAYS TO ME YOU WHITES ENSLAVED US ...MY RESPONSE IS " I WASN'T ALIVE 400 YEARS AGO HOW IS IT MY FAULT?" There are millions of good black folk who despise BLM but there are also the bigots and racists who see one black BLM scum bag burning rioting or murdering and collectively judge every black person on the planet. Sadly that's human nature but mostly good white folk can separate good black folk from the gutter rats in BLM. Slightly off track but yes back in Foster Brooks time everyone had a sense of humor no matter what the color of their skin was

They still do Comedy Central roasts. In fact they probably cross more lines than these guys did

@@torreador1972 they only cross the lines a small minority of pompous humorless woke snowflakes have set so they can feel important. Most people want to laugh no matter what their race color or religion is. The left is destroying everything that is good. I for one will continue to laugh at things that are funny whether it crosses the line or not. Those lines are set by the most pathetic individuals alive today.

Yes,but liberals and minorities fu$ked all that up

Same

Rich Little is the only one I know is still alive. There maybe 1 or 2 others, but most are gone. UNFORTUNATELY!!! They were AWESOME!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Every Deano Martin roast, he gets right down to it and knows how to get crowd to nearly die from deep laughs. GO FIGURE Foster.

I totally agree!

Same everywhere because so many snowflakes are looking so hard for something to be offended by.

Yes.. we miss Mr Benny Hill.. he had his own style but very funny as well..

I disagree, your panel shows are top notch.

As a pommie I agree 👍👍👍👍

Brits have the spectrum of comedy, from driest of dry to bizarro, theater of the absurd! Today, it's sexual, demeaning, and almost always a political slam.

Kent Hewitt ... oh yeah..! I do the same man..!!

I'm an ENGLISH chap, and my wife and i love this man, can't get enough of him, anyone feeling down please watch him.

Benjamin, I agree me too. But, I also watch Benny Hill, Dave Allen, and Hyacinth Bouquet.

Me too , brilliant ,

Yeah, There will never be another Foster Brooks for sure.. He was a legend!!
