Don Rickles roasts Dean Martin

[jmoneybangor87]

as much as i love dane cook and chris rock , don didnt need to fuck to get a reaction, he was just so talented as a performer that even young kids like me can say he is funny as hell and one of the best of all time

[cupofsoda]

don roasted everybody hahaha

[BruiserKnux]

Despite all of the "things were so much funnier BACK THEN" comments, most of these jokes aren't the least bit funny and fall flat.

[zestydude87]

OMG im dyin over here. This is TRUE comedy at its best.

[lvisrulz]

Nagga that's Angie Dickinson. She was a favorite hottie for her time. Men just loved her.

[nagga123456789]

who is the blonde next to joe namath

[DrStrangefate]

Fuck I forgot Orson Welles was in this.

I'm surprised the world didn't implode from the sheer amount of "awesome" occupying that dais.

[1WhoMee1]

this matbe the wackest time in tv/hollywood/life you have wecolme back carter,next to howard cossell,ali,and nameth in there prime,jimmy stewart bob hope,a milfy angie dickinmouth,rich little,paul lind etc, freaky. greatest celebs of all time with greatest celebs of that decade.

[cleancab]

Back when comedy was king.

[crimsonkng1]

There aren't many people funnier than Rickles ... Steve Martin, I guess, but I can't think of others.

[nakedfaves]

Is that Hubert Humphrey @ 0:40?

What would he be doing at a gig like this?

[crimsonkng1]

@nakedfaves looks like it to me. Good eye

[cmf4321]

@nakedfaves It is Hubert Humphrey. If you want to laugh hysterically, watch Foster Brooks roasting Hubert Humphrey on youtube. You will not stop laughing. Also my favorite is Foster Brooks roasting Don Rickles. Be prepared to laugh out loud...they are really funny:-)

[irishmike1100]

Nowthis is comedy !

[ronpaulforpresident6]

I long for these days. Everyone was fair game and that is why everyone accepted the roasting.

These days, everyone is way too sensitive to a good joke or roast. I'm afraid, these good days are gone forever. At least we have Don Rickles on Youtube. Hallelujah !

[taba247]

No cursing, no anger, no malice. And it's still 100 times better then anything on tv now........Period.

[TheSRalston]

I don´t know if Ali had a sense of humor, since every time someone tells him something in these roasts, he doesn´t seem very comfortable with it...

[innit27]

namath is browner than gandhi

[cbono69]

Fucking Priceless..Don is the Man.,,,,So happy Don is still here...I really need a photo of me and Don!!!!!!Winning!!!

[KageSenshi1990]

the Mohamed Ali bit made me geek.

[knights1128]

Comedy Central should try and get Don Rickles to do their roast

[n2motocross]

Hell Yes! Barry Goldwater. Edmund Muskie yuk!

[HollywoodNorthProdtm]

Don Rickles-----------STILL ALIVE. EVEN THEN among the restig Titans (Bob Hope!) (etc.)Leading the way....staying alive -I Care...HE*S Jesus to Muhamad.....Do*t tel Mohamad...Oh- go ahead an tel him......STAYING ALIVE AT HIS PINACLE PERFORMING playing in Heaven with The Stars.....Mr. Don DON RICKLES*

[MrROTD]

Rickles is dangerous!!!! :D

[darksideka]

Whoever disliked this must be Carmine Gungananzo

[MrSkylinegtr99]

comedians back then had class not like todays

[horacrux]

Probably the greatest of all time,next to Richard and Carlin

[6teezkid]

The days when comedy was real and not just eff words to make ppl laugh.  About what....I don't know.

[ViciousPudding]

looks to me like it's Orson Welles getting roasted...I'm just sayin'

[muskokan59]

Brilliant,simply brilliant.

[chrisam99x]

please god in heaven..will you please reincarnate don rickles

[Sherpaful]

@chrisam99x I don't think he's dead.

[nglmn56]

I see this clip has earned 1 dislike. Can't understand why... did someone take it seriously? These roasts are nearly always hilarious but the guest reactions often look fake or hammy. Look out for Foster Brooks on the Roasts. I think he was the funniest of all.

[jrgorilla1]

Wow, to have Orson Welles and Jimmy Stewart in the same room together, along with Dean, Frank and Don? I'd give my left nut to be able to go back and see this.

[wbneilsen]

The first Dean Martin Roaster I watched was Rickles, then I checked to check out a few of the other classic celebrities jokes on these roasts. Rickles ruined it for me. None seem nearly as funny, witty or clever as Don.

[GBev2K]

What no talent hacks would populate the dais today? Ralphie Mae? Carrot Top? Lisa Lampanelli? Jim Breur? Dane Cook? No thanks. I'll stick to this era....

[5Be4Funk]

I could listen to Rickles rip people for the rest of the day and all night tonight

[statboy08]

@5Be4Funk These are so MUCH more funnier than the roasts of today.

[SanaaTaylor16]

did he say the isley brothers ? lol .

[purvicide]

Very rarely are Don Rickles quips specific to a person. His jocularity tends to be general to age, race, stupidity, etc.

[zyxquark]

wow, hubert humphrey--that means this is before 1976!

[TheFrogger15]

@zyxquark This aired in the Spring of 1976. HHH died in late 1977. He and Barry Goldwater were good friends.

[freeamericaneagle]

does anyone else think the audience is fake ?

[SuperStrik9]

Rickles was the man!

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

@SuperStrik9 WAS?!! Don is still alive, (3rd, 7/2011)...don't jinx things.

[deejayspop]

Rickles & Foster Brooks, it just doesn't get any funnier than that

[kiaoraguy]

Oh my heck look at the star power on this show- unbelivable

[ltuomela]

Don is hands down the best roaster they ever had..i have watched them all..none can touch the guy...man...whewwww...to funny..

[adamcrap]

no kidding i was drinking water when i watched this and i spit it out when rickles started, he is the funniest man ever!

[carlindelco]

These guys were pros in every sense of the word.. no vulgarities.. just go ole fun...

[Baltimorehop]

My God Rickles will bust your lungs. God he is one of the funniest in history. No one was funnier.

[Sheldonwh]

@Baltimorehop Was? He's still alive, ya know. : )

[zam120]

@Baltimorehop ya hate to tell ya but Rickles is still around

[Baltimorehop]

@zam120 I know the Donster is still among us and stand corrected in my grammar. No one is funnier. =)

[chessman19]

LOVE IT

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

Rickles is the perfect 'Masters of Ceremonies' - an equal opportunist.

This was Brilliant Comedy!

Not one F-Bomb was dropped & no *beeps* interrupted the dialog.

[mookie709]

@PlayIt4MeAgainSam I agree !!!!!!!! Now cussing and "C" list celebrities count as a roast.

[flatbush46]

@PlayIt4MeAgainSam yeah he still is funny as hell

[asher1112]

great post!

[1gigaby]

Hilarious
