Bob Hope helped make America laugh for 60 years---Can anyone think of a finer vocation than making people feel better?? (and I'm not talking about doctors). God Bless You, Bob!! You were one funny man.
@scitsalcoryp Well, what that shows is how wholesome, clean, and good-spirited these roasts really were, especially compared to the roasts that are on nowadays, that someone like Billy Graham could appear on them. Billy Graham could also have counted as an entertainer, and thus could be on the same level of prestige as the people he appeared on this episode with.
@gaelicviking i knew someone would mention how "wholesome" these roasts are. the only reason for that is they were televised. before this when they had private roasts they cursed just as much as these days.
@thefaketahare On the one hand you are correct; my only point was in addressing the fact that someone like Billy Graham could appear on this public roast. Goodness knows Sinatra wasn't exactly a choirboy when it came to his language, much less Deano himself.
If you are thinking of having an abortion this is a must see.
I watched this movie called 180 movie it was very good if you are pro-life or pro-choice, watch this award winning documentary and see where you stand at the end. At least watch the trailer and see if you are interested.
@Sherpaful perhaps it is ignorant to call people ignorant because they don't have the same sense of humour as you? For the record I can't stand Adam Sandler.
These guys were funny, no foul language on air but the innuendos, oh the innuendos. Innuendo is a lost art with most of today's comedians. Probably because it is lost on most of today's audiences.
These are REAL American icons and celebrities on stage here. I mean did you notice all the legends he mentioned here? Ronald Reagan (regardless if u agree with his politics), Omar Bradley, Neil Armstrong, Jimmy Stewart, etc. Now when they do roasts its d-list actors, unfunny comedians, and reality tv "stars" roasting Flava Flav and Bob Saget. Pathetic.
"This is wonderful being here at the Home, and I say this from my heart!
No! It's a joke, It's a joke, *Pause* It's a Joke [Looks a Bob Hope] BOB!, It's a Joke. I take it back, I Swear!!"
I couldnt quit laughing at that, and also when Don says,"It takes many years to be a Great Comedian!", Dean Martin responded by saying, "Sure does and you ain't reached that Year Yet!" that is when I died laughing!
Ahh! Those were definately the good years. Thank you for this video, it made my day! :)
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.
We are too politically correct these days to do things that Don Rickles did back in the day. Same thing with most of the other stars shown here.
We were able to poke fun at minorities and not get offended. Now if you try to make fun of other ethnic groups you may find yourself on the front page for bad behavior.
Seriously, there was a quality to be had back then that we have certainly lost today.
@KratostheThird you said "Now if you try to make fun of other ethnic groups you may find yourself on the front page for bad behavior." Hmmm, maybe you dont watch Family Guy
"Thank you, Jerry." A priceless moment made even better by Dean's reaction. And did you hear that woman scream with helpless laughter at 1:54? That's pure joy -- sounds like she ruptured her spleen on that one.
Let us celebrate "The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts," for they truly are a time capsule of entertainment -- and, maybe more importantly, entertainers -- that we shall never again see the likes of.
@rosewoodfretboard - i agree, when i was very young back in the 1970's i would watch the celebrity roasts with my parents, endless comedic talent, never to be seen again, the good ole days....I love Don Rickles....
These guys are awesome. There are people like this out there today, but too bad the masses of asses don't get this brand of humor. The only thing people laugh at today are drug and alcohol references, sexual inuendos and remarkable stupidty.
@TenderTrap86, today's comedian's could learn a Lot from these legendary comedians. who could have fun tell jokes and say things to each other in a good natured way with out feeling insulted or offended others.
@acepilot189 He was partners with Jerry Lewis for many years but they had a falling out.By Saying "Thank you Jerry." it's as if he is nothing without Jerry or that Jerry is the real reason for his success..Trust me, It's a major jab..Recognized by all of the people there and those watching at the time...
All you crazy political posters, go grab a tea bag, a sign, a fold up chair and go listen to McDonald the Witch. This is comedy, not a political show. Go watch Faux News, or pay attention to Glen Beck's blackboard.
@Saffron49 well we can all see how great things are under odumbo....lol....wanna try again son and this time take obamas penis out of your mouth. This ex marine cant stand what this administration has doen to your country.
@karlakor There doesn't appear to be any opening, especially if you notice RIckles surprised double take. You'll also note that before a punch line and throughout his act he pauses for effect. These gentlemen were the greats, they were at the top of there game. They didn't need any "openings" to assist there quick quips and scintillating comebacks.
The REAL roasts right here. Those comedy central curse filled un funny pieces of shit roasts are horrible. Don Rickles, Dean Martin against Andy Dick and that pig Lisa Lampenelli? please....
Too many idiots on here can't separate comedy from politics, just because Regan is in a tiny clip. God get over it. I'm here to laugh not see your delusions about the President and your ignorant, misguided speeches about what you think is socialism. If I wanted to see morons scream right-wing conspiracies I'd turn on Faux News.
These Dean Martin roasts are the best and Don Rickles is amazing. Even out of roasts, he can insult you to your face and you have to take it.
Obama the socialist. Big rave reviews now, sure..after killing Bin Laden, which he can thank the Bush policies for. Can't wait to see this disgrace defeated next election. He hasn't done ONE thing positive for this country yet, besides screw up health care and make kids that are not even 5 years old yet in debt already.
@Denise7826 I did too and I'm a White guy. The two funniest roasts were for Sammy Davis Jr, and Mr. T. I especially enjoyed Sammy Davis which was laden with Black and White jokes that had me in tears. Davis looked like he was having a ball and had a great line at the end.
Dean Martin, Reagan, Berle, Sinatra, Sugar Ray Robinson, Jack Benny, Jimmy Stewart, Graham, Omar Bradley -- ALL DEAD. The age of the closed studio is long gone. You'll never see a group of 'stars' like this ever again.
If they told black jokes today, there's be an uproar! It was all in fun back there and no offense was taken! It's amazing what political correctness did to our society!
it destroyed us (political correctness). But, the reason it was funny "back then" was because blacks were "black" - jews were jews, whites were whites, italians were italians and mexicans were mexicans and we all lived in our part of town. We were all living in a society in which we walked and talked according to our roots, purpose and culture. The jokes were even funnier because they were true!!! Today... that's a cardinal sin. It's too bad - because it is so funny!!
@Burnsengine That does make sense now! I'd like to think we're all AMERICANS! A few years ago a guy at work made that point to me when I mentioned "African-American" and several other groups of people and he told me that if they were born in the United States they were Americans! It does make sense! If someone was born in African and then came to this country, maybe then they would be called African-Americans. Thanks for giving your ideas on this!
I used to watch these every week in the 70s when I was in my mid teens. Funny how Rickles had rapidfire satire at the ready, and then Martin smacks him when he says "you haven't reached that year yet." LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!! Rickles gets back at him by calling him Jerry. Milton Berle goes after Rickles...LOL!!!! Great comedy back then.
Their is NOONE today that even approaches Don Rickles. His lightening quick yet SWITCH WATCH TIMING is impossible to duplicate. The fact he was actually funny without cursing. Just by THINKING.
These guys are throwbacks. Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Dean Martin IMPOSSIBLE to replace. They were here, and now the comedy mics stand vacant.
@traveler94965 and the Moslem Marxist occupant of the White House has left America over a TRILLION DOLLARS in debt, bows to foreign dictators, kisses the asses of filthy, black Nation of Islam racists and has kept American troups in Iraq, despite promising to take them out. At least Reagan could speak coherently and without a telepromter. Oh yes,....Reagan was also born in the United States.
@TheBlueyedblond *LOL*@U! Awwwww U poor thing! So full of HATE, U can't even spell Muslim when u call him that! Spelled M-U-S-L-I-M NOT Moslem! HaaaHaaa! I Pray for U!
@MrsD7777 Actually it is spelled either way...Moslem is correct as is Muslim.....and while there are many fine moslems, there is no such thing as a fine islam!
@Albertanator AND? I stand "corrected" on the spelling: "The ordinary word in English is "Muslim", pronounced /ˈmʊslɪm/ or /ˈmʌzləm/. The word is pronounced [ˈmʊslɪm] in Arabic." As far as for Islam, I am Not, nor have I ever been a follower of that religion & Never will be, so? *lol* PEACE!
@MrsD7777 HA HA...pray for you fascist! There are many ways of spelling Moslem, and since I lived and travelled in the Middle East, I should know. Now go back to the 3rd world MOSLEM shithole that you came back and shut the fuck up!
GO BACK TO THE JUNGLES OF MOSLEM AFRICA AND LEAVE AMERICA YOU RACIST PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

@TheBlueyedblond But if you really think that "White" America would allow a "Black" Illegal Alien to become President of the United States, U are a FOOL! *lol* People are sick of RACISTS, and want Unity. *LOL*@Reagan speaking "coherently"? While suffering from Alzheimer's during his last term in office? Ha! Nice Try Bigot!
Every video I've watched on Youtube that was old material but good, there is always a comment about nostalgia.
That's what these Top Comments basically are. Even the very shows I watched when they were brand new some 20-25 years ago are now filled with comments talking about the old days. How the quality of those shows I saw are superior to anything on television today.
I think some of these people are right. Television is a 'Reality' wasteland.
"I kid Jack Benny, Milton Berle, this is wonderful being here at the home." (Dean spits up his drink)
That is the funniest thing....I actually took a drink the same time dean did and did the same thing!!!!! And then Dean's come back with "It sure does and you ain't reach that year yet" This is comedy!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Are you people joking? Have you seen a modern day roast? Older comedy is canned and politically correct. Today's roasts are far worse and the comedy these days is edgier if you'd buy cable TV you dumb fucks.
Comedy needs "freedom" to be at this high level. We don't have that today in our PC culture. Both Dean and Don reached that "year" and stayed there for their whole careers. The beauty here isn't just the humor but the perfect timing and play between these legends. Things aren't funny like this now days because PC buriies the source of real comedy. Thank you Jerry....priceless.
I love the black peoples reaction to the Sugar Ray Robinson and black peoples lip joke. back then, people could take a racist joke. we do that today and the NAACP or Jesse Jackson creates a protest. like don said, "It's a joke"

Dean Martin, Reagan, Berle, Sinatra, Sugar Ray Robinson, Jack Benny, Jimmy Stewart, Graham, Omar Bradley -- ALL DEAD. The age of the closed studio is long gone. You'll never see a group of 'stars' like this ever again.

If they told black jokes today, there's be an uproar! It was all in fun back there and no offense was taken! It's amazing what political correctness did to our society!

@johnifly
it destroyed us (political correctness). But, the reason it was funny "back then" was because blacks were "black" - jews were jews, whites were whites, italians were italians and mexicans were mexicans and we all lived in our part of town. We were all living in a society in which we walked and talked according to our roots, purpose and culture. The jokes were even funnier because they were true!!! Today... that's a cardinal sin. It's too bad - because it is so funny!!

@Burnsengine That does make sense now! I'd like to think we're all AMERICANS! A few years ago a guy at work made that point to me when I mentioned "African-American" and several other groups of people and he told me that if they were born in the United States they were Americans! It does make sense! If someone was born in African and then came to this country, maybe then they would be called African-Americans. Thanks for giving your ideas on this!

One question though... Who's Jerry & why did Dean Martin laugh so hard?

@aim1221 Jerry is referring to Dean's former comedic partner, Jerry Lewis.

I used to watch these every week in the 70s when I was in my mid teens. Funny how Rickles had rapidfire satire at the ready, and then Martin smacks him when he says "you haven't reached that year yet." LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!! Rickles gets back at him by calling him Jerry. Milton Berle goes after Rickles...LOL!!!! Great comedy back then.

Their is NOONE today that even approaches Don Rickles. His lightening quick yet SWITCH WATCH TIMING is impossible to duplicate. The fact he was actually funny without cursing. Just by THINKING.
These guys are throwbacks. Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Dean Martin IMPOSSIBLE to replace. They were here, and now the comedy mics stand vacant.

@traveler94965 and the Moslem Marxist occupant of the White House has left America over a TRILLION DOLLARS in debt, bows to foreign dictators, kisses the asses of filthy, black Nation of Islam racists and has kept American troups in Iraq, despite promising to take them out. At least Reagan could speak coherently and without a telepromter. Oh yes,....Reagan was also born in the United States.

Every video I've watched on Youtube that was old material but good, there is always a comment about nostalgia.
That's what these Top Comments basically are. Even the very shows I watched when they were brand new some 20-25 years ago are now filled with comments talking about the old days. How the quality of those shows I saw are superior to anything on television today.
I think some of these people are right. Television is a 'Reality' wasteland.

"I kid Jack Benny, Milton Berle, this is wonderful being here at the home." (Dean spits up his drink)
That is the funniest thing....I actually took a drink the same time dean did and did the same thing!!!!! And then Dean's come back with "It sure does and you ain't reach that year yet" This is comedy!!!!

Are you people joking? Have you seen a modern day roast? Older comedy is canned and politically correct. Today's roasts are far worse and the comedy these days is edgier if you'd buy cable TV you dumb fucks.

Comedy needs "freedom" to be at this high level. We don't have that today in our PC culture. Both Dean and Don reached that "year" and stayed there for their whole careers. The beauty here isn't just the humor but the perfect timing and play between these legends. Things aren't funny like this now days because PC buriies the source of real comedy. Thank you Jerry....priceless.
