Don Rickles on Dean Martin Roasts Reagan

[TheSRalston]

Damn, I would love to have the millionth part of the talent Rickles has for insulting and making fun of people, he is amazing.

[farr0222]

awesome! I love Rickles!!! I do wish though, that they would have roasts like these today...without all the vulgarity. Dont get me wrong, Lisa Lampenelli is hilarious, but this stuff is AWESOME

[DjBobbyInLosAngeles]

Was that a Dodger in the audience?

[4855712]

hilarious.

[captkirk9797]

You know I would intentionally get Rickles riled up so he could insult me. I would wear that insult like a gold medal, lol!

[usaeagle1776]

drinking, smoking and telling very un -Political Correctness jokes on live TV. wow, how far we have fallen.

[MrMatto1]

Times sure have changed. you would never see a governor do this on TV now a days.

[dimitryklush]

Reagan was a nice man but started this country on it's road to self-destruction by opening the door to evangelical freaks. Rickles is a superstar

[jb2lk]

psssh greg giraldo eats this guy alive

[MIKESOWELL]

@jb2lk Oh, the ignorance of youth......Rickles doesn't have to resort to the bottom of the barrel for laughs.

[Sherpaful]

@jb2lk I just watched a video of Greg Giraldo roasting Jeff Foxworthy to see what you are talking about. Giraldo has no class or true wit, just a bunch of dirty one liners. Rickles is twice the comedian. I also don't recall Greg Giraldo being invited to do a gig at a presidential inaguration.

[flauretta]

don rickles is and was awesome....hilarious

[kylemcgrath14]

Does it matter how old we are? Just enjoy the comedy. Don't matter what age you are.

[helpfulhowie25]

"I say this from my heart Dean, you have a problem!" Lmao

[bruinsfleetcommander]

any idea when this aired? great stuff!!!

[webgeek6]

And then this stupid fuck got elected president somehow and began the destruction of our country. This 11 time tax raiser, terrorist negotiator, cut and runner. The middle class is still feeling the pain.

[mfleming98]

@webgeek6 It must be blissful to be that ignorant

[classicautofan1]

@mfleming98

"Ignorance will provide as long as the world stands."

[LordWellington15]

36 people were nearly hit by Ronald Reagan's car.

[stillagunner]

that very last joke killed it ahahahahahahahah

[webgeek6]

The dumbest president next to Bush.

[LordWellington15]

@webgeek6 to Conservative for you?

[purvicide]

Don's a rehasher. Either that, or he forgets when he's said the same stuff previously on the same television program.

[gerrythrash]

This was back when you had to have talent to be on TV.

[Fasteddy508]

All that and no unnecessary swearing or retarded vulgar jokes involving vaginas. Can someone show this to comedy central

[smujismuj]

Reagan another pretend cowboy who got installed into office by banker control freaks.

[webgeek6]

@smujismuj You get it. Thank you.

[helpfulhowie25]

Love these Roast's!! So much better than todays...

[captkirk9797]

Got to give it Reagan. He took the best Rickles had. Funny stuff.

[Shamoosa86]

Another Rickles Night on Youtube. Don Rickles, you are treasure that will sadly never be appreciated in our prejudicial society, a true comedic genius of his time and beyond. Few will ever truly recognize your art.

[sinatra800]

"NoirFan01" I think that was Chris Farley!! I could be mistaken but I think it was him...

[ThePooppantsman]

Old and not funny. Sad to see I think maybe one of them are alive. This is so borning. Boy have times changed for the better.

[gravity2820]

@ThePooppantsman idk how you can think this is boring, im only 20, and this is hilarious, today's comedians dont even come close to don rickles, and the "celebrity" roasts that are on today are complete shit to this

[Timmoux]

@ThePooppantsman It's not boring, you just have no class or culture. Go listen to some fart jokes instead.

[Nelsonhojax15]

@ThePooppantsman  Possibly the worst attempt at trolling ever. I know a few shmucks fell for it, but It's really weak man, hone your craft a little more.

[PokeyBessie]

After watching this, I think the great Don Rickles should ROAST EVERY PRESIDENT. I know you all agree!

[Timmoux]

@PokeyBessie If he roasted George W. Bush, he would be at it for hours!

[TexasSheepdawg21]

Would love to hear what Don Rickles would say about obama.

[skywalkker007]

@TexasSheepdawg21 hahahah i would love that too!!

[postaltraining]

@TexasSheepdawg21 he did lampoon o'bumma once on letterman's show and made fun of the that o'bumma would be practicing his (basketball) shot if they ever knocked on his door and said Iran is invading us. The other joke he said was (same premise) O'bumma would say "don't bother me right now, I'm dribbling" (bouncing basketball).

And that was it. If we all survive this obumma thing, i think rickles will have a lot more to say. despite the veneer he may put up in the act, he is no liberal

[Hassus]

Wow, that was hilarious.

[franichevich]

My word, Don Rickles has to be the most clever Roaster of all times. His acerbic wit is just perfect for the elements of that comedic stage. -Vince Vance

[NoirFan01]

Who's the fatty next to Phyllis Diller? I don't recognize him.

[jandtsmom]

Why should that be annoying? He just plays off it to get more laughs.

[rjplamf61]

Rickles always has to throw in that he is a Jew. I always found that annoying.

[jandtsmom]

Rickles = Genius

[MyPeaky]

am from england i think r humour is a lot better than the yanks but this stuff is triuly great we dint have any thing like this

[ragincaucasian319]

This was back when roasts and roasters were funny. Now theyre just vile and disgusting.

[BreastsInspector]

Remember when comedy was funny ? :D

[WalterLiddy]

Wow Rickles owned this one! I have new appreciation for the man's genius.

[droppinsumfudge]

hahahahahaha dean martin was hysterical

[TheStaticage01]

Damn-Don Rickels really pours it to the Gipper! It's quite marvelous to see that all the "insults" he cracks on Ronal Reagan were crass but not vulgar at the surface? People today just call other people foul names, only for the sake of sounding cut throat and mean. The "art" of insult has fallen to the wayside and we have been "dumbed down" because of it? No one is really intelligent anymore? Don Rickels For President 2012!

[acrnkovich31]

I would just like to say that I am happy that many people have showed that they have hope that the great generations of the past are not completely gone by liking my comment. This is not an obligatory post. I post this because your likes have showed me that I have changed some people's outlook of the quotem quote "dumb generation".

[VirginiaTagz]

i thought he was gonna get serious and let up about 5 times but he never did lol

[Bigdogg752004]

The one thing you never want Mr. Don Rickles to start off a sentence with when talking to you is "From the bottom of my heart..." Cause you now the Comedic Boom is about to be lowered lol

[ben6killer]

at 0:28 Don lets you know Jews run everything lol

[Sigmarthetruthfull]

I like how many of you are like i'm in my 20s and what not well i'm 16 and I understand all of this and get a lot of the actors and what not. It helps having to watch a lot of these guys movies and just knowing basic info about them. And having a sense of humor. You say this shit now days and you'll get thrown in jail and you'll be shunned for the rest of your life. Damn Life was good back then.

[ProtectDavid]

I noticed he brings up 'jews' in every video/standup

[3dofanatic]

THESE ARE GREAT



[acepilot189]

what did he say? 2:43

[acepilot189]

and i say this to my heart dean you have a problem classic

[RayNDeere]

The guy they keep showing in the audience looks like James Bacon, a legendary Hollywood reporter

[miztuhx]

I couldn't stop laughing! HILARIOUS!

[aitraining]

4:06 ".......and I'll never forget your words.....get out of the way.... kid!" LMFAO Rickles was a roast pro!

[greydawn]

The best there ever was.

[HominidMachinae]

They don't make them like this anymore.

Comedy from the era when you had to do more than mention a few "rude" body parts and giggle like a freshman in the back of sex ed class.

[DanimalLawlz]

@mumlet86 Don't give your friends on World of Warcraft such a hard time

[VinnieGazzara]

...look at Jack Benny cracking up. I NEVER see him laugh!!

[wyattcox]

@VinnieGazzara Benny was known to be a great audience. He would never laugh on camera, but off camera.....George Burns could just give Jack a look and he would fall on the floor....

[Killer0fTheSun]

@VinnieGazzara

What you said is an absolute fact,i have NEVER seen Jack Benny laugh even thou he is a legendary comedian but he was dying here which to me was an eye opener and proof that Don Rickles was indeed a very talented and funny comedian.

[reaganite]

Real comedic timing and genius is so hard to find today. Rickles was a master at it.

[ezloop1]

very funny 

[eemily1102]

I wish roasts were like this!! And im a teenager :-)

[skuterixas91]

This is classic and way more funnier without no shitty swears and other unimaginative stuff

[eboyd32]

haha, little did he know this man he was roasting would become president afterwards. i wonder how much funnier this would have been during Reagan's presidential campaign :D

[TheBlueyedblond]

@eboyd32 watch Rickles performing while Reagan was President and you'll see, it's on Youtube

[hojre]

In my opinion this was the best roast of Don Rickles :)

[49kasey]

@hojre I've always loved Don Rickles from seeing him on the Ed Sullivan Show as a kid. Anyone who doesn't think he is funny should probably just step in front of a train and end the misery.

[westeggz]

Jackie Vernon is the person with the glasses.

[TeetoPlastic]

Don Rickles here looks like my mechanic. Delightful surprise.

[cocolike1]

this fucking guy is much better than dean martin

[thelawguy666]

LOL! classic:) Don is funny and Reagan is a great sport

[ENVocalist]

@mumlet86 I'm the same age and have the same "problem". I too say: There loss. :)

[ubasst23]

@tryitthere Ronald Reagan was a good actor and he was the president of the screen actors guild before he was a governor and president so he was a big deal then

[AngryHatter]

Who is the guy in the round glasses next to Diller?

[tryithere]

It's kind of strange that they would hold a Dean Martin roast of Ronald Reagan before becoming President. He was a known actor but not a major actor and governor of California but it's suprising they wouldn't have somebody bigger being roasted. It's cool that they did it but a little suprising.

[Jonathanedward2010]

Funny!

[jtflyer]

You made my day. Sooooo funny. thanks for posting

[nexivdr]

LOL youngstown OHIO, what a place . ......

[SASJKL]

@mumlet86 you should make better friends.

[jerzy862]

Don Rickles was the best.

[baarbear]

"The Merchant Of Venom"'s doled out so much sarcasm over the years, I'd give anything to see clips of him getting roasted.;-D

[madjack18]

I like how Reagan doesn't actually nod in agreement

[acrnkovich31]

I'm an 18 year old boy and I get every single one of these jokes. I am very proud of that.

[mercuryrulz]

@acrnkovich31 Im in the exact same position my friend.....Its great isnt it?

[acrnkovich31]

@mercuryrulz I'm glad there are still people like you and me in America. It's a great feeling.

[MalnourishedGoat]

@acrnkovich31 I'm 1 years old and I get maybe 45 to 46 percent of them.

[TropicalShirtTy]

@MalnourishedGoat I'm a fetus and I get mos---

[hefnicity]

@TropicalShirtTy Im swimming around in my dads nut sack and I get about 25%

[TheMarksmenCat]

@TropicalShirtTy haha, nice

[htgnef]

@acrnkovich31 Ditto on all counts..

[acrnkovich31]

@htgnef Thank you.

[HockeyJock6476]

@acrnkovich31 we're all proud of you. thanks for letting us all know! queer

[acrnkovich31]

@HockeyJock6476 thanks Lisa Lampanelli.

[PinkCowgirl925]

@acrnkovich31 i am a 16 year old girl and feel the same way

[JanaSklibova]

@PinkCowgirl925 And now you feel cool or what? You are hopeless with all these comments about your age on youtube!

[PinkCowgirl925]

@JanaSklibova well some people think that the only think kids and teens watch are shit sho im trying to show that we dont all watch jersy shore and abunch of shit like that. and if you hadent noticed 4 OTHER PEOPLE DID THE SAME THING

[Cosmic86x]

@PinkCowgirl925 and thats a good thing. those actors, musicians and comedians from back in the days are true legends and had real talent :) but unfortunately a lot of young people (kids and teens) don't know them anymore. It's great that there are still young people like you who enjoy those legends and are interested in their stuff.

[freakinprplaya]

@acrnkovich31 jew



[WayUpYonder2]

@acrnkovich31 18 and watching old comedy?...that's very cool...

[acrnkovich31]

@WayUpYonder2 hahah. thank you. i like to think i was a part of this era because of the simpleness and great classiness of the time...i don't dress like a hippy or anything but i just wish i was actually alive during this time.

[george2648]

@acrnkovich31 man up you 18 your old bitch why you still a boy

[acrnkovich31]

@george2648 in the words of Don Rickles, "I DON'T CARRRE!" But hah whatever.

[AirCargoHeavy]

I think the Dean Martin roasts and the Comedy Central roasts show how our culture has become more coarse and degraded. The Dean Martin roasts had some class and were genuinely funny without being vulgar. The Comedy Central roasts rely on guests like the sickening Lisa Lampanelli. They are without a shred of class.

[ShadowACE1998]

@AirCargoHeavy you are absolutely right. And Don Rickles could still put anyone on the Comedy Central Roasts in their place.

[maddogwally]

@AirCargoHeavy I totally agree! I started watching one a few years back..

To say the least that lasted for about 5 mins.

[gremad22]

@AirCargoHeavy I agree this has so much CLASS!!!!

The roasts on comedy central is just fuck pussy,etc

[pchiekrie]

@AirCargoHeavy I heard the real roasts make the current ones looks tame

[jd55192]

@HiddenSpeakers Blame the markets? You capitalism-hating, socialist pig.

[bojon0307]

@AirCargoHeavy That is SO true! I tuned in to (I think it was) the Bob Saget roast and turned it off. These guys, the Dean Martin regulars, were FUNNY and truly talented. They didn't have to resort to vulgar language. What has happened to the intelligent comic?

[Teufeldolch]

@AirCargoHeavy

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

[firestartertwistedfi]

@AirCargoHeavy True, but try Norm Macdonald in the Bob Saget roast - he went against the grain by deliberately telling the worst jokes possible. One of the bravest pieces of comedy you'll ever see.

[913spiffy]

You Know, I totally Respect, admire & appreciate those who can find humor with less Smut. It's a talent we seem to have Lost the ability. Naturally, it would require some Modernization, but, it's definitely a field that today is WIDE OPEN. 0=)

[AlecFootball75]

Dick! Dick! , Dont Beg

[kirosuks]

Priceless!!! Oh gawd he was funny in his heyday. Rickles ruled! Not alot of four letter words in his routine either. Jokes about character are home runs and he hit a bazillion of em!

[avncamargo]

We need another Reagan. Now more than ever.

[LSzewczyk79]

man i really wished i lived back then!!

[matthews220]

@mumlet86

I agree, I'm 23 and the same way with my friends...most of them haven't even heard of the Dean Martin Roasts! It's so sad because I watch the roasts now and they all say the same things, most of which aren't even that funny...these comedians were unique and clever, I wish that was the case nowadays!

[dcs132652]

What roasts are supposed to look like. Not that crap comedy central passes off as roasts.



[RobertoFlackTV]

The King of the Roasts...man, this guy was just out of control LOL

[spacemonkey5686]

@mumlet86 I feel with you...I'm 25 I have the same problem!!! There is no comidian nowadays that even slightly compares to Don!!! The roasts are legendary...I wish I would have lived back then.

[rocnrollfool]

Ronald Reagan was the best president of all time. He was president when I was born. He is probably the only president to be roasted by the greats. The roasts of today are terrible Comedy Central ruined them. Just like the music of today. Justin Bieber gets 15,000,000 views and Dean Martin can barely break 2,000,000 that is ashame. The Rat Pack is where it is at, If I only was born in the 50's or 60's then I could have seen them live.

[FilipM1]

@mumlet86 I know of them too. There's still hope :)

simply amazing.. and the last line is legendary

[Michthemitch]

reagan was A DISASTER for the country. Clinton was 1000 times a better president !

[FizzyBublech]

@Michthemitch Ah yes, the crubled economy and housing market had nothing to do with clinton yet the country saw the lowest levels of inflation and highest levels of prosperity than ever before recorded under regan and by this nitwits score clinton, was a better president. maybe while slick willie wasnt prowling around looking for some woman to rape he could have taken the time to listen to the republicans warning him about freddie and fannie.

[ColbinatorX]

Reagan was just awesome.

[davehutchinson67]

too funny...

[lafeil]

blancmel21@ You are so right!

Reagan was A DISASTER for the country !

February 6, 1911: birth of Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States (d. 2004).

[carlgt1]

Reagan seemed fun before he became prez and let the neocon jerkoffs take over and set up the destruction of America. Now his legacy is traitors like Ollie North & dimwits like Sarah Palin.

[chuckbuckbobuck]

Like Lincoln, Reagan could always laugh at himself unlike such stuff shirts as Carter or Obama.

[davehutchinson67]

@chuckbuckbobuck I don't think too many President's can't laugh at themselves. it's part and parcel of being the man. or woman.

[Rightist2]

The 32 people who arrowed this down are Justin Bieber fans.

I don't know much about US politics. Judging from political colour chances are quite high I'd have disliked him. But I respect any man who can laugh about himself so well!

[hdstreetbob2009]

Oops I was still laughing so hard my finger slipped and I flagged it as inappropriate. What a class act Reagan was and Rickles was a comedy genious.

[RileyMcCartney21]

Love you, Don. You make me laugh so hard, the tears just pour out of my eyes. You're a great comedian <3

[alexpetro27]

Don Rickles looked old even then.

[MrJapaneseboy1111]

@alexpetro27 he was born old ! LOL

[Michthemitch]

reagan was A DISASTER

[ericallen1000]

@Michthemitch,

Reagan was the best and probably the most popular President we've ever had, in my lifetime (and I've seen a few).

And does this country ever miss him.

Perhaps YOU'RE a disaster.

[abc1000001]

Has anyone seen Rickles any better than this? Doubt it. He is so on here.

[KageSenshi1990]

"don't be dumb! I hate adumb guy!"

[jupithou]

Rickles is the fucking man.

[blancmel21]

Reagan wasn't perfect, but he made us feel safe. It was like having John Wayne in the White House. R.I.P.

[sjpc33]

@blancmel21 Duke in the white house would be great. If a country tried to attack us he'd swagger up to them "listen parter, you don't want to be doing that"

[Spartacus217]

@blancmel21 John Wayne was a Nazi.

[mercuryrulz]

I THINK RICKLES WOULD HAVE BEEN AN AMAZING PRESIDENT

[cydlee1]

This made my morning..Thanks for posting. I was laughing so hard I cried...What a funny man and Ronald Reagan one our best president's..Amen God bless..
