  • these were so cool at the time will not forget them

  • Sinatra thinks he's so cool smoking a cigarette. Don put him in his place.

  • @mythid12 When his friend Newhart found out he broke in his place and found him and his wife, devastated. They hugged and wept and he told them they will make it through this. For this to happen at their age... This guy has made us smile for so long, for so long... the least we can do is pray for him during this tragedy.

  • @southsidesman And yet praying will do absolutely nothing.

  • @supsification ??? - I'm sure the Rickles family doesn't feel that way.

  • Don Rickles is awesome.

  • PRAY FOR DON RICKLES - HE LOST HIS ONLY SON LAST MONTH!!!

  • @southsidesman Larry Rickles, an Emmy Award-winning producer and the son of comedian Don Rickles, died Saturday in Los Angeles of respiratory failure due to pneumonia. He was 41. Article from the Hollywood Reporter was dated 12-6-11. R.I.P. Larry.

  • Boy, do I long for these days, when everyone could poke fun at others and everyone could take a joke or roast in jest. These days, it is pathetic

  • Mr. Warmth! love him

  • What I love about this is that he insults everyone, no matter race, religion or status...AND NO ONE GETS UPSET!!! That's what true comedy is...nobody's offended, no one has to apologize to the press...everyone's just laughing.

  • @Soul7Patrol Yeah! It was ah pretty good turn out. George Wallace was there too front row. Tix were 88.00 to 100.00. Hes ah bit slower in his step but his act is still great and lively

  • Poor Dean Martin is dying in this video lmao

  • This would never get on the tube today. We are too damned politically correct.

  • @marston623 i totally agree black people would riot LMFAO!! but Hey can you blame em? They Have Been through some fucked up shit in this country

  • @sarafranco100 Not just because of blacks, but all the "groups" would be offended and the TV Gurus would never let it happen. I mean, who is off limits to Rickles? Not even "his" people, the Jews.

  • @marston623 True But He Makes Fun of Black People More Then Any Groups He even Admitted to it

  • This guy is the best. He roast people like nothing

  • He got a cookie and got to be President; not bad, not bad at all.

  • After seeing this, I was so glad I had the oppurtunity to catch Don live in Vegas last weekend. He is still sharp n crisp as ever.

  • @jasonpeng1 WOW hes still doing stand up in vegas at 85 how much where the tickets if you dont mind me asking, did much people attend.

  • Rickles comedic timing is great. "The King of Insults" is an equal opportunity offender.

  • It IS the "kiss of death" but men DO NOT kiss each other on the lips in the mob. They are highly homophobic, and anything that even comes close to them believing you are gay, can get you killed. That was a fictional but very cinematic and deep scene from The Godfather where Micheal kisses his brother Fredo on the lips to show that, he's guilty for what he's eventually going to have to do, hence it being called "the kiss of death".

  • I wish society was as polite and politically correct as it was in the good ole days and not full of the OBSCENE humor we have now.

  • These are real entertainers. Real celebrities. Real icons. I feel sorry for young people that will never know life without reality tv. They will never know about great actors and entertainers. Hollywood and entertainment in general has fallen so far.

  • @toungepuncher1 i so agree!

  • Truly brilliant. These are some racy jokes (for the time) but Rickles doesn't have to resort to swearing or potty humor.

  • @NoirFan01 and that is what makes it so great...I agree....wow...strange but the humour, the smoking and drinking would not be allowed on a variety show now on prime time...just brutal viollence, swearing and way too sexual...somehow we lost all the stuff that really made classic TV over the past twenty years...too bad!

  • Someone please explain the polish impersonation?

  • @superjules The Polish impersonation is a likely reference to how much the Poles suffered in World War II.. Invaded by the Nazis, and the Soviets in 1939, Poland became a battle ground from 1941 to 1945 when the Nazis steamrolled over the Soviets in 1941 and 1942, and later when the Soviets returned the favor in 1944 and 1945. Throw in numerous atrocities committed against the Poles by both sides, and the Rickle's line "Are they trouble?" makes a lot of sense! Poland got hammered by both sides

  • Shoulda had Rickles roast Charlie Sheen. Sheen would have been destroyed

  • sheer delight

  • Remember this is where it came from.......... Much respect to the real godfathers of comedy!!!! This is what we need now just good clean honest humor,......... Where did it go............ Where is all the beeps for censors,...... Im waiting .................

  • Back then, they had humor and class...and they were all over 50!

    Compare this with the horrible Charlie Sheen roast airing tomorrow.

  • Ralph Malph at 3:06!

  • Only one man could give Sinatra the kiss of death and live to tell about it. love Don he is a true Legend among mortals

  • this couldnt get any better......

  • hahahah can't wait to see him live in a few weeks :D

  • the comedy central roasts are garbage next to these. 

  • Finally! I'm seeing comments that make sense and are very wise. You are all right. If you stuck a bunch of today's popular stars and "personalities" on a dais they would have nothing to say.

  • They couldn't pull this off today. They don't have the talent today that they had then. You have bums, these guys had talent.

  • @surfczar he's still funny to this day, that's why i had to go back to watch his old stuff.. Imagine Don Rickles as your homeroom teacher????? Whooo!!!!!

  • thats right, AMEN!!!

    nobody is better than this guy.

  • They don't come any better than this guy

  • "What is this, London?"

    LMAO

  • Today;s comic roaster wish they were half as funny as these great comic are even today, they just do not make great comics like this anymore

  • seriously which comedian aces like that, nobody only don rickles

  • ...that's Orsen Welles !

  • who is that at 4.24?

  • @Zathres Ruth Buzzi.

  • @Fauxchinaski

    what about 3.11

  • @Zathres That's Ruth Buzzie, character actor on the old "Laugh-In" show and a lot

    of other bit parts over the years.

  • Don Rickles was probably drunk when he did this. And, even if that's true, he's still a better comedian than Stephen Colbert.

  • I don't get the kissing part, someone explain?

  • @superjules in the mob, a kiss between men on the lips is " the Kiss of Death"

  • @carpetcowboy58 I figured it to be a bad Marlon Brando impersonation.

  • What is this London?

  • man that was hilarious!! comic genius!!

  • DON RICKLES IS A FUKIN LEGEND! F** THE REST!

  • Sucks Peter Faulk died

  • Don was the bomb!!!!

  • Funny funny

  •  Dean Martin was sloshed.

  • LMAO OMG DON RICKLES ROCK THESE

  • Finish with class - Classic Rickles...

  • Rich Little did a roast on Rickles in another program, and he was flawless. It was funny to see Foster Brooks roasting Rickles, and it was off the charts hilarious. Rickles was laughing before Brooks said a word.

  • thanks for posting this! this is so funny, they all look like they're in pain they're laughing so hard

  • A lot of toupees and dentures on this dais. Lots of talent too!!

  • I love Don. The editing on these roasts were horrible.

  • He is non-stop, I love the guy.

  • deans hammered as always

  • Don who??

  • *Smoke bellowing at Rickles' face and begins to cough: "What's this, London?!"

  • Dean's reaction at 2:17 is priceless!

  • Always finishes with class...

  • THIS is hilarious!!! Rickles at his best!

  • DONT WORRY RICKLES HE'LL BE PRESIDENT!

  • Don roasts The Chairman of The Board. Hilarious!!!! I almost wish I could go back in time and relive watching these roasts with my parents when I was a kid. These were great!

  • @darkknight9761 I was 13 when they started these roasts, and would stay up to watch 'em. I remember quite a few of these.

  • The roasts they do today are crap compared to these guys.

  • Who's the guy at 1:25? Thanks for posting

  • @paramedicEmergency51

    I don't know, but he's got a nice pair of choppers!

  • @RelicC799 nevermind I know now Its Gene Kelly

  • @paramedicEmergency51 gene kelly

  • Remember when we could do this in America? Basically, we're not Black & White anymore, not to say America was only Black & White, but both races dominated the national spotlight once upon a time. That's the answer to all who ask, what ever happened to this. In the Sammy Davis Jr. Roast, Rickles made a joke about Freddie Prince Jr. of his Puerto Rican ethnicity. It was a joke but was so funny, I almost passed out. Its all in good humor folks. Nothing malicious. That was the beauty of it.

  • To chevodeloch0, he says "The blacks go, i didnt hold no grocery store up" at 2.23 to 2.26.

  • people seemed to have been scared shitless of sinatra, was it because of his mob connections.

  • @kingcaesar5 ~ oh yeah, especially his rumored connection with Chicago Boss Sam Giancana.

  • wow times have changed...

  • What did he say at 2:23 - 2:26? plz can somebody answer me

  • @chavodeloch0

    He says...

    And the Blacks go "I didn't hold no grocery store up " ...

  • @lukessummerguitar thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • I think his best one is when he does landon's roast

  • DEAN, IT'S MORNING!

  • Well we are all the same on this planet, colour, creed, size, ugly, fat, makes no difference to me, i would love to have had Sammy davis jr living next door to me, Joan rivers 2 doors up, Bruce lee, Cassius clay etc. Don rickles was joking in front of probably millions of viewers at the time, he wasnt calling anyone behind their back. And Ruth Buzzi is a dog!.

  • What did Don say at 2:23 - 2:26 ?

  • Sinatra didn't inhale? Surprising.

  • who the hell is the person at 4:24???

  • @dino8192 Ruth Buzzi

  • These shows are so great this is real comedy not the crap they have today!I'm in tears from laughing so hard.

  • Don Rickles was amazing! I swear I was born in the wrong era. I <3 Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, love the comedy of Don Rickles, and watch my I love Lucy when ever its on!

  • @trickykid73 Ruth Buzy or something

  • Comedy with class. He ended that very well.

  • When Don got on a roll, there was no stopping him... He is one of thee GREATESTS!!!!

  • This guy is a master at roasts, the king y'all

  • "Gene, you're 90, lay down...stop annoying the people..." I died laughing! X)

  • face it there is no one like don rickles !!!!

  • i wish everyone from that panel was alive now ... we will never see greatness like that again ...

  • 2.24 who is that freak !..........boy shes ugly

  • DONT WORRY DON HE WAS OUR BEST PRESIDENT!

  • This is awesome. Back then people could take jokes about themselves without getting all out of joint and throwing hssy fits at the slightest thing. These guys were brilliant, I wish I could have seen them live.

  • wow! now that is a stage!

  • "... Jews don't do that, we make a phone call, give a few dollars and they all go away." CLASSIC.

  • That is some serious star power up on that stage.

  • its a hairnet. she alwayshad on a hairnet as part of her look for her character.

  • ... what happen the that persons forehead 4:24? can one of you guys tell me?

  • @kittycathappy - That was a hairnet that she used to wear in her act...

  • @er6789er oh. i thought something happened to her! lol XP

  • These guys....they look exactly like my Grandfather looked. Matt Damon and Brad Pitt are never going to look like my Grandfather. Look at Jonathan Winters? I think his wife combed his hair and sent him out there and told him to pick up a paper when the show was over and that the plumber was coming over on Monday to fix the drain.

    Strange. These guys were rich and worldly but somehow they were like regular people. Ben Affleck would tinkle his pink panties in the presense of men like this.

  • @FasterThanYou321 AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Don is the man!...lmaooooooooooooo

  • @chickichar89 LOL that just about as funny as this clip...almost..lmao

  • @chickichar89 Damn straight

  • @chickichar89

    Don't sugar coat it. Just say how you feel. ;-)

  • @chickichar89 I FUCKING LOVE CAPS LOCK TOO!!!!!!!!

  • @chickichar89 ~ I concur fully!

  • @chickichar89 SQUARE!? !!! owch. !

  • Rickles is a living legend

  • LMAO, Rickles was the man. Great stuff.

    You babbling political fuckheads just take it elsewhere, stupid cunts.

  • @ChiroQuacker and @carlindelco

    You both are fucking retarded

  • only one human could bust franks balls...rickles...

    here's the deal...rickles mother and sinatras mother were best friends both retired living in florida...rickles mother asks franks mom to ask frank to go see rickles performing one night..frank never said no to his mother...frank went to see rickles..and decades later..rickles was a pallbearer at franks funeral...

    franks mom used to go see jerry lewis perform when he was a teenager. loved him, told frank to go see him

    All true!!

  • who is that at 4:21?

  • @thelostpiranha That is Ruth Buzzi

  • 1:35 - Sinatra lights up - Rickles: "What is this, London?" LMFAO! Rickles is hilarious.

  • Great!!! I love it!! Greetings from germany

  • @rotes1968

    fuck u nazi cocksucker...rickles is lucky his family got out of germany in time..if not he would have never been born..cause you would have thrown his parents, grandparents in ovens....fucking animal german cocksucker swines because of u filthy evil murderers..think of all the great jewish scientists, composers, artists, entertainers, physicians, etc the world never had cause you killed their families...

    so go fuck u adolph rotes...climb back in your hole...go read mein kampf

  • @ChiroQuacker

    you gots to calm down a bit,,. not all german people were sick minded evil people,.

    there were nazis and just regular german citizens

    just like in america, theres the kkk and just regular citizens

    not all are bad,,. just some.

  • Comment removed

  • @ChiroQuacker I am from 1968. WWII ended 1945.

  • @rotes1968

    SORRY my little german swine but that nazi, master race DNA runs thru your body..and you germans would do it all over again...because germans think they are superior..when ...in fact....they got their asses kicked in that world war...german soldiers were really weak and gave up when they had tough american armies not taking their shit....but when it came to throwing jew women and little children into ovens...then german soldiers...were brave and strong...you fuckers suck...

  • @ChiroQuacker Well I'm of German dissent and As I use to look back on what happened during WW2 and ask myself how the German people could have gone along with that. Recent events with the liberal/progressives ( the original eugenics) and all the people who go along with their campaign , and the ones who elected a paper hanger ah I mean community organizer it all becomes clear. The Good German people allowed a tyrant to use divisive language and a scape goat to gain power and implement , Change

  • @carlindelco

    please...don't call them "The Good German" people...good people don't support throwing innocent children and their mothers into ovens alive.

    Are you a parent? Can you imagine the utter fear they experieced when those tough german soldiers threw them into ovens to burn alive?

    the screams of those sweet, innocent little angels, they never hurt anyone...they did not ask to be brought into this world...but The Good German people agreed with the fuhrer and carried out his dirty work

  • @ChiroQuacker You cleary didn't read my comment.. wait till you are out of High school obamanite ok? I said I asked how could they.. the Germans were and still are heavly Christain... Hitler replaced all the crosses then had obama youth. ahh I mean Hitler youth.. to pit kids against their parents. you know like how gore says to HS students. " you know things about this world that your parents just don't" " You need to educate your parents on whats going on" ok pal you lost the argument..

  • @carlindelco

    comparing obama and gore to ADOLPH HITLER...haha proves that you german swine still are a nazi...gee i dont remember gore and obama leading a country of sheep i mean germans into throwing little childrena dn babies into ovens at concentration camps in germany..i must have been absent that day from history class...

    heil fuhrer's gore and fuhrer obama...

    next time instead of using gore and obama...use two guys more to how you people are.......dick cheney and george w bush

  • @ChiroQuacker Not understanding why people use 2 things and compare them means you are a product of the US de-educational system. When was the last time you ever heard anyone try to make a point by comparing 2 exact things?(ie. You ever notice how watr is like ahh water?) LOL joke is on you ur a typical liberal illiterate. Thats what happens when you let socialist / liberals go to far. Your prog/liberals are the ones who do the killing. NOT conservatives. man a read a book! I win thanks

  • @carlindelco To the contrary, dude - you absolutely lose. Based on all the errors in your post and that you're too lazy to spell out whole words, *you're* not all that literate yourself. Commenting on other peoples' intelligence accentuates it even further.

  • @JeffRotull43 LOL ur a typical liberal, nit pick on grammar and miss the whole point of the sentence. No wonder we are behind countries like Lithuania in science. you can't understand anything.

  • I LOVE DON RICKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I remember watching these roasts in my younger days! What great memories and laughs. Rickles is great! This is real TV folks, not the garbage that's on now. We'll never have this again.

  • @KwajGecko

    Amen to that.

  • @KwajGecko tell me about it, the comedy central roasts are so dirty and filled with trash language it can't even come close to the true classy comedy of this video.

  • @KwajGecko nothing like it could not happen in today's politically correct thought police age

  • @KwajGecko Amen Amen Amen x 1000000000000

  • @milcookful Agree x 1000000000000!!! :)

  • @KwajGecko Nope, afraid not. Just hacks on SNL laughing at thier own jokes and Dane Cook modeling for H&M on his giant fisher price of a stage set. Notice how Rickles can deliver pure venomous abuse with decency and class.

  • @KwajGecko right on dude!

  • I think the funniest joke on Frank Sinatra by Don Rickles was: "when you enter a room, you have to kiss his ring. I don't mind that. But it is in his back pocket."

    This "roast" stuff, it's new to me, but I am getting addicted......best way to learn English.

  • He went on everyone but Redd Foxx? or did i miss something? lol I would loved to see Don Rickles & Redd Foxx go back and fourth. lol would have been hillarious.

  • What's this london? 1:36 My god I have tears in my eyes....I can't stop laughing!

  • Genius.

  • Man these roasts used to have actual fucking STARS in them. You had Dean-O and Frank, Rickles, even Orsen fuckin Welles! All downhill... The roasts went from a "who's who" of stars to a "who's that?" on Comedy Central.

  • @Galactic123 So true. They don't exist anymore. The roasts of this era and the unreasonable facsimile that poses as one on Comedy Central have nothing whatsoever in common.

  • The only guy who could kiss Sinatra on the mouth and live...

  • BlueOsito and tigerlily21.... guys you don't get it. Don Rickles was a comic genius....he was bringing awareness to stereotypes by using comedy....you both are probably born after 1975.

  • 3:45 the guy is hilarious!

  • These are the days when you can say ANYTHING and no one and I mean no one took offense to anything. People NOW take it to heart and can not LAUGH at them selves. TRUE AMERICA IS GONE - WATCH THIS AND IT IS TRUE AMERICAICA AT BEST/ DON RICKLES IS ALWAYS FUNNY AND HE IS STILL ALIVE DUE TO LAUGHTER

  • These are the days when you can say ANYTHING and no one and I mean no one took offense to anything. People NOW take it to heart and can not LAUGH at them selves. TRUE AMERICA IS GONE - WATCH THIS AND IT IS TRUE AMERICAICA AT BEST

  • That is like the mother load of big stars from that era. Great vid!
