Foster Brooks roasts Jackie Gleason

[MegaGum1]

i just LOOOOOOVE seeing Foster get into character as he walks to the mic. Beautiful. By the time he gets to the mic, he's gassed

[downtonabbeyfreak]

dean is SMASHED! I love it!

[upperdarbybill]

@downtonabbeyfreak Fact! Deano never mixed playtime with professionalism. Gleason-YES Dean-NO Really!!

[Rabadamtimtimti]

If Jackie Gleason thinks you're funny, you're pretty damned funny.

[paulostroff99]

Hilarious.Two greats from the past never to be surpassed.TY S for posting.

[yjjeepman]

Oh to see people today who could be this funny.

[jess401]

Anyone have the one where Foster Brooks is with crutches?

[ExperimentalDesigns]

Foster Brooks definitely is the height of the show when he walks on stage. Thanks for the vid!

[blancmel21]

Dean and Don always laugh, before Brooks even starts his act. Brooks = genius.

[carlsetzer]

Before PC ruined all the fun.

[HeRacesTheSun]

Mister, Mister Gleason here yet? I am the personal... 'fuze-a-zing-fut' of Mr. Gleason. Just hilarious !!

[mowltn]

Notice how everyone is smoking?

[MONTAGNEVILLE]

ONCE U WATCH FOSTER BROOKS , U HAVE 2 WATCH HIM ABOUT..........1JILLION TIMES

[tracyblogger]

I love love LOVE how every time, on every roast, Dean Martin would lose it before Foster Brooks even said a word.

[fulgrim12]

I must say that many people who aspire to be comedians should watch his performances. I myself could hardly breathe because I was laughing so hard.

[akretowicz]

So much better than the garbage they call comedy today. Terrific. Thanks for posting.

[StewartLDY]

@akretowicz Your welcome he was the best at what he done

[rickw1100]

@akretowicz Absolutely right!

[twrecks1]

"Walrus of wit". Take that Dane Cook.

[Zecalran]

@twrecks1 Dane Cook isn't anything!

[3656sas]

HE is magic !

[TheReturningShadow]

" I am the personal physician of.....Jerky-Jackie-Jackie-Jer­ky." OMG funny as hell. I agree, comedy isn't what it used to be.

[texlavera]

The material itself isn't terribly hilarious, its Foster's delivery that kills. His stammering and stuttering words is priceless! I laugh so hard at his stuff I cry....

[alderopop]

Ridiculously funny, genius delivery

[naplajoie2009]

This is how you roast. Not that garbage they call a roast now on CC.

[boozygrogy]

@naplajoie2009 - i am all about the originals were the best, however, this is how you roast in 70's. Apparently you are not familiar with Greg Giraldo, Jeff Ross, and Nick DiPaolo. these guys are/were on point every time.

[killswitchred19]

I love it when Foster tries to say a word, and can't get it out so he says something much simpler! :)

[deuk22]

Mr Brooks was pure magic,you can see by the reaction of his peers who are in raptures even before he utters a word.No one then or since has been able to match his talent and approach to pure comedy.He surely deserved better recognition but never received it.May he rest in peace.

[KnoxBlondie]

It doesn't get much better than this type of comedy. I for one surely miss it!

[bernese3]

Brooks is simple a genius! So sorry I never watched thses shows when they were on TV. Today's comedy just doesn't compare. Foster has 'em laughing before he says a word.

[kaboi1000]

Foster Brooks, nobody dishes up a better roast! Pure genius. But my absolute favourite is his roast of Don Rickles. Not to be missed.

[RalphyDee]

@kaboi1000 I can't decide which 1 I like better. The Don Rickles roast or Lucille Ball. lol Awesome. He was the best...

[MIKESOWELL]

Classic
