I'm a drunk, and I love Foster Brooks. I just dropped his name in the Fark.com Politics discussion, then had to come here to remember how good he was.
You wonder why programming like this isn't on re-runs but sold on DVDs ... because it's too good (and un-PC) for today's standards and "sensibilities". The others you see not smiling probably follow Foster and are dead frightened how to "follow up" behind this performance.
I never saw anyone make Don Rickles laugh that hard - have you!?
Absolutely great performance when comedy was hilarious but clean. These are the greats and all others came after them. I once heard that Foster Brooks never really drank at all! Amazing!!

I was 16 years old when my parents took me to see Foster at the Holiday House near Pittsburgh. I have pictures of us at the dinner table then a picture of us with Foster after the show. The man was genius when it came to acting out the part of a drunk. The show was so funny people were on the floor. He didnt care who he made fun of and he used the "F" bomb more than anyone could imagine. But to be honest it was very clean humor something we would never get to see again.
What makes Don Rickles so great is that he can take it as well as dish it out. Man this Foster Brooks has everyone in tears on stage, lol! Funny stuff!
EACH TOO THERE OWN , BUT HOW CAN ANYONE DISLIKE FOSTER BROOKS , OR ANY OF THE CELEBRITY ROASTS , THEY WERE ALL VERY GOOD FRIENDS AND AFTER ALL ENTERTAINERS , WHATS THE SYING ..... YOU CANT PLEASE ALL THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME , TO THE 65 DISLIKES ,,,,,,,,,, GET A LIFE AND CHILL FOR FUCKS SAKE ................
I cant stop playing 5:03 over and over... I almost bust my gut laughing. Oh man, these guys were all pure Comedy genius.. such good times. Where did they go ?. Nothing today even comes close..
Absolutely hilarious! Brooks had just one schtick: the drunk. But he played it so brilliantly he didn't NEED to do anything else. Every time I watch this I'm in stiches! What a genius!
I just discovered this guy 2 days ago and he's one of my favorites now. It's too easy to make "fuck" the punchline. These guys aren't mean spirited either.
I remember watching these when I was a kid with my Grandma, she loved Foster Brooks.. we used to cry laughing watching the Dean Martin Roasts. You can be funny without being dirty and or crass. We had no money in the late 70's, but we had some darn good shows on TV
@pauliewalnuts1156 ...I hear you! I was born in "75", and could have only WISHED...to have been around and lived to see the "Great Classics" hence Dean Martin, the Rat pack...At least there are re-runs...Thank God! Shows such as "All in the family", "Welcome back kotter" The Carol burnette show" to name a few..Are still funny as hell! Ps, you wouldn't happen..to be a Sopranos Fan by chance? Ha,Ha! My Favotite Show, Brillient. Great taste Paulie :-)
i love how he has dean swatting at him before he even says anything. and they just cant keep it together. lol. this is great stuff of a bygone era. priceless!!!
This is a men a true comedian . NO vulgar words bat men can he make you laugh .And if you want to see peace of crap visit Donald trump roast and "the situation" guy was a disaster. IF what he was saying sound any funny . Than horror movies are comedy . Chek it out yourself. Any way love dean martin roast show .such a joy.
when tv was really fun to watch and so many great shows was on back in the 70's way to many to write down remember watching all the great shows with my dad when tv was also claen did not have to tell dirty jokes to get people to laugh this was the fun days of tv other great shows was also on like hawaii five-o so many others
Those who thumb down a video like this one are probably ones who don't appreciate classic comedy.
Comedy back then was hot and had new ideas. Racial comedy was particularly strong, and people weren't afraid to throw around jokes on minorities on television.
Today people are too politically correct to allow anything like this on the air. What we have in it's place is a bunch of 20-40 year old talentless punks who can't act on the stage. 'Reality' television makes me want to cancel subscription.
@iago68 Is that why 35 members on you tube have given me the thumbs up and made my comments the top rated comment.I hate to be in your shoes when your abusive remarks are noted by fosters fans and family and if you are discovered all I can say is god help you.
@deuk22 are you threatening me? that isn't nice, you know. but thanks again for removing all your profane statements. they really weren't appropriate. remember, no man who earns a living making a joke of alcoholism, like brooks did, deserves your respect.
I remember watching this, and many other roast's when I was a kid. I remeber my family all laughing, especially my mom. I can still see her eyes teared up, holding her mouth. My dad, also laughing his ass off. I loved those moments when I was young.
@Habsfan0206 fair point, but come on wouldn't you love to see the stuff they did that was "for the crowd only". Dean Martin alone must have been hilarious, just look at how drunk he is for all of these
@phoskins A lot is act. Dean knew how to work an image. No way he could "keep it together" for a career if he coasted drunk. Sinatra on his roast, disclaimed a lot of Dean's drinking.
@phoskins, yeah, those guys were absolute clowns. Dean was most likely intoxicated and to top it all off, Brooks was personifying a drunkard...the irony of it all. Man, I miss that era of comedy!
@Habsfan0206 fair point, but come on wouldn't you love to see the stuff they did that was "for the crowd only". Dean Martin alone must have been hilarious uncensored
Hope you don't consider this spam, sorry if you do (if you do then just delete) but in doing some early spring cleaning we found an entire box of unopened "Foster Brooks: Live from Las Vegas" LP's still in the shrink wrap. We are not going to sell all of them but we are going to sell probably between 5-15 of them. They have been sitting in a downstairs closet for the last 15-20 years, so I have no idea what kind of condition the record itself is in since....like I said they are unopened.
I don't remember how but I saw a few of these at the time. It must be a man thing but the visciousness of some of the people got to me. But most of all it was that there seemed to be so much forced laughing. Dean Martin always laughed at anything. You would see some of them not impressed with the speaker yet the one next to them would be laughing their heads off. Don was one of my favorite until he was allowed to be viscious and then I just couldn't like him anymore. Silly to say it hurt.
I found the CURE for addiction and I have proof for this claim. Click on my name and witness Powerful Stories of Freedom. I personally know and have witnessed over 100 addicts who have found True and Lasting FREEDOM after being enslaved by their addictions for so long. I have been through many programs for my addiction, but have never found so much Hope, Joy, Peace, and Love than I have in the program I am in now. And the people I know who have given their stories are experiencing the same!
Foster Brooks KILLS !! even Don Rickles bows his head at the begining like saying "Oh Crap here it comes" and come it DID. Don certainly took it like a great sport. Today's roasts don't have the sheer CLASS these do. Today vulgar words, gestures, the F and N words don't compare.
He did every show stone sober.. and never touched a drop.. the "drunk act" was that... just an act.. he used to work in homeless shelters and would watch the old winos and drunken bums talk and mimicked their mannerisms, speech and behavior .. He was in a class all by himself and one of the funniest people I have ever seen. My family and I would watch this show when I was a kid and I couldnt wait for Foster to do his bit... RIP Mr. Brooks.. you are missed..
So much fun to see these great guys having so much fun...Just watch Dean....Clearly he had not seen the act before and is driven to tears laughing so hard...........
God...don't you just love Rickles' reaction to Foster's destroying Don's last name...and Deano wasn't any better...he was crippled laughing at it too...great stuff...
Foster Classic! Of all the turns at the podium and all those that have, by anyone, this one was the best... everyone is in tears ... I have seen it many times and I still crack up ... What a man!
A major element that makes this comedy sketch a classic is that, in addition to its cleverness, it does NOT rely upon malice, making tasteless fun of someone and tearing him down.
I can watch these all day long and never grow tired of them. I wish I had gotten a chance to meet Mr. Brooks. Comedy was so pure back then, not like the foul-mouthed crotch-grabbing miscreants we have today. Foster Brooks was a legend and there'll never be another like him
I don't see how anyone could give this a thumbs down! Those people must be extremely uptight and they have NO sense of humor! Foster Brooks was THE BEST!!!
It would do a lot of good for all of us if today's comedians were made to watch FB and his generation, not just for the material - other things like timing, working the audience, and no profanity.
Fantastic and thanks for this and the other uploads
@timsan55 I agree. Many comedians could learn a lot from them. And with out profanity. That's the key. People CAN be funny without all that cursing and foul language. Sadly, an era long gone and never to return.
Foster Brooks was one of the funniest comedians ever. This was when people could laugh at each other and laugh at racism. All of lifes social ills were brought to light. And it was all done in fun. Today he would have never made it as a comedian. And that's so sad. I am so very fortunate to have friends from all walks of life. All colors and religions. People should be able to laugh at each other without it being taken seriously. These" Roasts" are some of the funniest comedy ever.
@monopolyblack2007 You know, I think it is the same reason a person couldn't make the movie "Blazing Saddles" now - we just can't laugh at some things anymore (in a healthy way, I mean). How did we come to this state? "...laugh at each other without it being taken seriously." - BLESS YOU!
Imagine the laughs these guys are having together in that big casino in the sky. They just don't make them like these guys anymore and it's a damn shame.
Somehow, I've always thought that the brilliant participants in this truly great classical comedy series were at their very best when doing their stuff in these Roasts. Funny, joyous and witty - Deano and Co you have no equal. Thank you for making me laugh whenever I return to enjoy you all...!!!
I must have watched the roasts multiple times and each time I watch Foster Brooks I laugh at the same lines over n over again. A pity all the greatest comics n actors n singers are all gone. Comedy, good singing, good acting, all ended at the end of the seventies.
Foster Brooks.Amazing Man unique talent one of a kind.Pure comedy at its best.Better than anything I have ever seen and most probably better than anything I will ever see.
I remember watching these roasts with my father, never understood what was so funny. after watching the roasts today, i get. they certainly don't do humor like this anymore
Funny without filth, unlike the dominant paradigm today.

@Habsfan0206 fair point, but come on wouldn't you love to see the stuff they did that was "for the crowd only". Dean Martin alone must have been hilarious, just look at how drunk he is for all of these

@phoskins A lot is act. Dean knew how to work an image. No way he could "keep it together" for a career if he coasted drunk. Sinatra on his roast, disclaimed a lot of Dean's drinking.

@phoskins, yeah, those guys were absolute clowns. Dean was most likely intoxicated and to top it all off, Brooks was personifying a drunkard...the irony of it all. Man, I miss that era of comedy!

Hope you don't consider this spam, sorry if you do (if you do then just delete) but in doing some early spring cleaning we found an entire box of unopened "Foster Brooks: Live from Las Vegas" LP's still in the shrink wrap. We are not going to sell all of them but we are going to sell probably between 5-15 of them. They have been sitting in a downstairs closet for the last 15-20 years, so I have no idea what kind of condition the record itself is in since....like I said they are unopened.

I don't remember how but I saw a few of these at the time. It must be a man thing but the visciousness of some of the people got to me. But most of all it was that there seemed to be so much forced laughing. Dean Martin always laughed at anything. You would see some of them not impressed with the speaker yet the one next to them would be laughing their heads off. Don was one of my favorite until he was allowed to be viscious and then I just couldn't like him anymore. Silly to say it hurt.

Foster Brooks KILLS !! even Don Rickles bows his head at the begining like saying "Oh Crap here it comes" and come it DID. Don certainly took it like a great sport. Today's roasts don't have the sheer CLASS these do. Today vulgar words, gestures, the F and N words don't compare.

They didn't need to make "shocking" comments like today's roasters because they had real talent.

He did every show stone sober.. and never touched a drop.. the "drunk act" was that... just an act.. he used to work in homeless shelters and would watch the old winos and drunken bums talk and mimicked their mannerisms, speech and behavior .. He was in a class all by himself and one of the funniest people I have ever seen. My family and I would watch this show when I was a kid and I couldnt wait for Foster to do his bit... RIP Mr. Brooks.. you are missed..

A major element that makes this comedy sketch a classic is that, in addition to its cleverness, it does NOT rely upon malice, making tasteless fun of someone and tearing him down.

I can watch these all day long and never grow tired of them. I wish I had gotten a chance to meet Mr. Brooks. Comedy was so pure back then, not like the foul-mouthed crotch-grabbing miscreants we have today. Foster Brooks was a legend and there'll never be another like him

It would do a lot of good for all of us if today's comedians were made to watch FB and his generation, not just for the material - other things like timing, working the audience, and no profanity.
Fantastic and thanks for this and the other uploads

@timsan55 I agree. Many comedians could learn a lot from them. And with out profanity. That's the key. People CAN be funny without all that cursing and foul language. Sadly, an era long gone and never to return.

Foster Brooks was one of the funniest comedians ever. This was when people could laugh at each other and laugh at racism. All of lifes social ills were brought to light. And it was all done in fun. Today he would have never made it as a comedian. And that's so sad. I am so very fortunate to have friends from all walks of life. All colors and religions. People should be able to laugh at each other without it being taken seriously. These" Roasts" are some of the funniest comedy ever.
monopolyblack2007 1 year ago 3
@monopolyblack2007 You know, I think it is the same reason a person couldn't make the movie "Blazing Saddles" now - we just can't laugh at some things anymore (in a healthy way, I mean). How did we come to this state? "...laugh at each other without it being taken seriously." - BLESS YOU!
