During the roast shows... Dean Martin wasn't actually drinking alcohol... it was usually apple juice... but it gave the appearance of drinking burbon (water for vodka, etc.). He played up the heavy drinking lush persona... helped draw in viewers that thought Dean was drunk on TV.
This is classic! They don't make em' like this anymore and it is very sad. I agree,with the worlds efforts to try to clean things up from the bottom up,they have refuse to accept the obvious & that is,people will be people regardless. So enjoy Life. This is art imitating life very accurately and it's funny!!!!!!!!!
To each his own, but I wonder how people (albeit 2) don't see the humor in this. Its brilliant! and they are having so much fun. Seems like comedy today has lost its sense of humor.
you know ive just watched a work of artand then read killingman22s defence of mr martins drinking habits ,who the hell cares if mr martin drank,the wheres and the when do not matter ,there seems to be no end to this thirst as is the british way to build someone up just to knock them down when they feel like it,ohh and i aint british even though i live in the dump,lets all clean up our own back yard before we look to others, no offece meant killingman22 it just makes me so mad
stunningly brilliant from mr brookes and mr martin not being able to contain his laughter,what a magical mix,im tempted to compare this with todays comedy but theres no one show to compare it with,is there?reasuringly innocent, honest,oh i could go on,quality ......the era of the roasts and all those taking part where unique never to be equaled if this dont light your fire then your wood is wet, political correctness,has made sure the comedywill never be the same
@killingman22 You knew Dean Martin for a while? I find that hard to believe... Your profile says that you're 13, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you wrote that when you first joined YouTube back in 2008. Still, that means that you were born the same year that Dean Martin died.
@rarebutgreat Yeah I've never seen very much that can equal this. The comedy is fantastic, the writing is brilliant and original. Foster Brooks is also the highly watchable centre of attention in the Dean Martin Roast of Don Rickles, a few minutes of heroic comic genius.
@rtds9fan the funniest parts of all these lovely clips - Dean Martin' s reactions lol. he could never keep a straight face, reminds me of Johnny Carson too.
In all fairness, television was far different back then. There were only three networks and a hand full of independent stations, no cable or internet.
A show back then that had a rating of a number one show today would have been canceled long ago. If a show did not have a 40 or 50 share, it would be toast. Too many choices today and definitely not enough true unwatered down talent, that is for sure....
these two had more talent than most of the p.c.-uptight corporate suck-ups who do late night today. so no, i was not joking. also, in the 60's .. Dean Martins show had triple the ratings Jay Leno now has. no joke
I don't know why there is a "politically correct" argument going on right now, wrong time wrong place. I just think some people joke to have a ship on their shoulders all the time. And who the hell cares if he was drunk when he performed? They bring back a lot pf good memories for me.
Foster Brooks. Back in the day when it was OK to spoof being a drunk, he was everywhere. Check out the Dean Martin roasts. So funny! Now you can't drink or smoke on TV, but you can be vulgar and profane. Go figure.
@sbijan666 Thank You! You also have to watch these couples sticking their tongues in each others mouths, and practically feeling each other up, but that's ok, something I want my kids to see. And before any of you ask,
No I'm Not A Prude. And the way boys wear their blue jeans, I don't really want to see the crack in your ass. If they actually print this, I'll probably faint, cause I'm really not being politically correct!
You have 2 of the best drunk acts on one stage!!! Dean definitely liked to drink but was no drunk!!! Watch the roast done for Frank Sinatra and listen to Franks' remarks at the end!! Frank also said he spilled more booze than Dino ever drank!! Read his son and daughters books great reading. This "drunk" was home every night at 5:00 for dinner with his family! His act was a drunkie but he was not one!!!!Neither was Foster Brooks!!!! Brooks never drank after he made a bet with someone!!
i read somewhere where he didnt drink ,, he just acted like a drinker?? he was the best ive ever seen. better than most drunks i know in real life!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was deffinately true, he liked a drink, but he was only a social drinker, and never mixed business n pleasure
while frank would demand to have X,Y and Z waitin backstage (bottle of jack, nd girls) dean would onle EVER ask for apple juice to put in his whiskey glass
he was neither a drink or a womanizer 'till his final decade, when the death of his sone caused him to fall apart
its not that i knew him, only 18, but i've just finished reading his autobiography, by nick Toches- HIGHLY RECOMENDED
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp
i agree...that was amusement.Far better than stupid call and vote programs we are being "entertained" with.Dean and Foster are both real fun chaps.put em together and you got a real nice piece of entertainment.
He never drank on his variety show, it was always apple juice. But, he did drink quite a bit, as the people that saw him out always saw him drinking Jack on the rocks. I'm pretty sure he drank for the celebrity roasts however.
His son died in an accident. This fact, among others, were terrible to him. Besides, Dean´s fame as a "alcohoolic" or something began in the early 60´s. It think that it was his public character, he didn´t drink that much.
This probably is one of the funniest skits since TV was developed. How many times did you ever see Dean Martin have to wipe his eyes from laughing so hard? Both Foster Brooks and Dean Martin are "one of a kind".
What made Dino so special was that he was REALLY in the moment....when he laughed , it was real and it made everyone else laugh...you felt like you were out with him having a good time.
During the roast shows... Dean Martin wasn't actually drinking alcohol... it was usually apple juice... but it gave the appearance of drinking burbon (water for vodka, etc.). He played up the heavy drinking lush persona... helped draw in viewers that thought Dean was drunk on TV.
