I was 20 back in 1976, I remember watching this with my father, tears of laughter rolling down his face. All the greats that we grew up on that provided that much needed laughter. My father has passed away and many of the talents in that room have all left us, I miss those days, those shows , so I enjoyed this. Thankyou.
Was not born nor was my birth in the realm of possibility then but I love these people they are hilarious and could take a joke. These days people are much more sensitive.
@@KiaPi2012I agree. There is a stigma for everything now because of how everything could be magnified under the cancel culture microscope, and if that culture isn’t it, it’s just not being accepted. Loneliness carries a different weight, because we can see it on digital landscape, and that is terrifying because it is the landscape that is before our eyes at moments where we decide on; a moment that we make ourselves vulnerable (even to our own scornful judgement). This is likely of simplified, but seeing your comment really made me think about the social dynamics of then and now. While loneliness and depression was happening then, it’s happening at a younger age with each generation, and well we can be hard on ourselves because we don’t understand that a roast is meant to be light hearted. I don’t know about you folks, but I think at times I could take what someone says about me too seriously when I should have just accepted as jovial comical statement. Those good old days may trend one day if we ourselves could just accept a roasting with a little more cheer. I am thankful that you shared so I could think about all of this, and I think I will consider peoples actions and words under a different light.
THIS is the humor we need in America now! Look at this!!! There are men and women, black, white, brown, gay and straight up there all cracking jokes about each other. Every single one of us has something we can be poked at for and we should be able to see the humor in it. Everybody needs to lighten up and laugh at themselves and each other in love like these legends did. Make America wholesome again!
I am 79 and keep watching this every month. Sheer class unlike the crass, crude shows we now have. "Yes, Those Were the Days". All my favourite celebs in one place.
Every time I watch this roast I think to watch a few minutes but end up watching the whole thing and I end up in tears laughing. Love this video!! Thanks to all.
My mom is 88 and bedridden, thanks to these oldies but goodies being on CZcams she is spending her last days watching her favorites. I get a huge laugh myself, love these amazing entertainers.
That's what is FANTASTIC about CZcams ! My mom too is 80 now and still full of passion but not as healthy these days, but to see her man Frank Sinatra , puts the sparkle back in her eyes ! Touches my heart , GOD bless BonHam..*
This was done in 1976, 42 years ago. Many of these people are no longer with us, but it's good to see them again all together having fun. I'm 70 so I have enjoyed them all.
Alan, I was 10 years old when this aired. These people were the BEST! I'm still a 20th century girl at heart and wish things weren't as complicated as they are now. Such fantastic comedy! I'm happy that I'm not the only one who appreciates it!
I was not quite around yet, as my father was only 13 when this aired. I have enjoyed all the performances that i have been able to find on VHS, DVD, the Internet and in books. The comedians of the past were better. Or then they allready told the best jokes... They do say that i seem older than i am, so maybe the explanation is that i was born later than expected. Or they really scammed me with a false birth certificate.
@@Timbo_tango Yea that was the point dude. The innuendo was there for those who interpreted it that way. Yet, it was still good clean fun that the whole family could watch!

These were the best comedians that will always be remembered. You will never see comedians like this anymore. God bless all of them from Dean Martin to Bob Hope and the rest of the best comedians back then.

kate parkscott Well, I agree that the comedy was not as dirty as we see these days, but if you watch any of Dean’s shows there was a LOT of innuendo😉. Dean could convey so much more with one knowing look at the camera (and be far funnier) than any number of today’s foul-mouthed ‘comedians’ put together. And with much more style and charm.
The Dean Martin Roasts are timeless, great entertainment. I remember watching them with my parents; great memories with amazing guests on the dias....Dean Martin, Don Rickels, Bob Hope, Ruth Buzzy, etc. etc.... each one funnier than the last. Thank you to CZcams for bringing them back!!!
It is a shame that we don't have comedians like these around anymore. I used to watch the roasts because of the talent that was doing the roast. We don't have such terrific talent like that anymore and that is a shame.
Besides, this kind of show and humor would be unacceptable today, apart from the fact that young people today are raised not to have any humor, especially this kind.
I disagree with you. I'm a huge stand up comedy fan and there are some AMAZING comics today! They may be more unfiltered and some more vulgar but damn are they good!

It's March 2022 and this is still just as funny as the night it aired! I really miss all these amazing talented people! Sure miss the good old days of television when you got real quality programming! Before it became just about the money!
You are so right!! Those truly were the days when the people were as quality as the show and the programs were about entertainment fun and enjoyment and truly not about turning a quick buck
It's very sad to look around at the younger generations and know they have no clue how to deal with a true joke... without stabbing each other. I'm 74 years young and loved every minute of this. Thanks for airing this...you have made my day/week a lot brighter...
@SueParras I've got news for you, Suzie, it's always been about money. You call this childish stupidity "quality"? You're talking out of your ass. Whenever someone refers to the "good old days" you know you're dealing with an imbecile.

AND DON'T FORGET THE KING OF COMEDY BOB HOPE !!!!AND IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN ROASTING DEAN MARTIN !!! IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS "THE GREATS "!!!!
The roast was the greatest show on tv. They had me laughing so hard. When I watch today's comedy shows they can't even get a smile out of me. Most of them are either sexual innuendos or just raw vulgarity and filthy language. In the days of the roast the family could watch the shows with the children and not be afraid of what the kids were hearing. I loved the Carrol Burnett show, Andy Griffin, Bob Hope Special, Dean Martin's comedy Hour and many other clean decent family comedy. Thank you for bringing back so many beautiful memories
Wow…. nostalgic comedy at it’s finest,with the greatest artist of comedy,acting,sport,politics etc.I honestly don’t think that this form of honest clean family entertainment will ever be repeated again..I laugh so much at this I cry.. you actually believe they are family and friends up there ….thanks guys for the memories
Something that I don't know if people watching this may not have noticed..... All these comedians and non comedians are not reading from teleprompters. And it is one of the reasons these roasts are so special. They have constant eye contact with the audience and eachother. The comedy is spontaneous. The laughing is authentic.
Great comment!’ No blasphemous ‘Oh my God’ then. Dean was clean and so was all his celebrity mates. I am 72 and just adore this man! Thanks Dean, you made my youth and to this day I still love and miss you!!
This was a golden age of tv and comedy. So many great stars and comedians . Dean Martin was a great singer and comedian. His tv shows were outstanding .
Dean Martin was very handsome and talented, I also miss those days. He was born in Stubenville, Ohio., My Stepfather was the Mayor of Youngstown back in the 60's and knew him back then. Mr. Martin is interred in the Pierce Brothers Cemetery in Los Angeles along with many of his friends, Rest in Peace .
Clean comedy is the funniest! If you can make a crowd die laughing with clean humor, you're a true comedian. These classic men set the bar really high.
@@GraemeCree Orson Welles career took a bit of a nosedive later in his life, but he was an aura of class. I guess you can say he was a student of Shakespeare, and his 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast was his claim to fame, even if it scared lots of Americans.
@@KratostheThird I thought he didn't like talking about that, but the first time he met Phil Harris, Phil said something like "Hey Orson, what's shakin'? Been scaring anybody lately?" If he was okay with a gag like that, he couldn't have minded the subject too much.
All of them put on a show, but by god! The charm of Orson Welles and the spontaneity, quick wit and forked tongue of Don Rickles are a few leagues above everyone else. I could listen to the two of them for hours. They could be reciting the phone book and they would still find ways to make it entertaining.
Some of the best comedy of our time was made by these folks. For those of us old enough to remember them, this was great to watch. I was laughing the whole time.
It sure was. the 70's was and probably will be the best decade of my life. I hope that when I am in heaven, I can relive them over and over for eternity
I remember watching this with my Mom , I was a 17 year old kid with my whole life in front of me . My Dad drove a truck so he didn't get to watch alot of shows with us . I was raised to love and respect great talent and of course with my Mom's family being Italian we worshipped Dean Martin . These bring back so many memories of those days , sometimes it's hard not to shed a tear knowing so many are gone !
You can tell the type of man Dean was, everyone loved him so much. I wish I was alive to see this stuff live back then. He seemed like a genuine person loved by many. RIP to one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived.
Kevin Geddis To me it speaks volumes that even after he died people still spoke well of him. So often when famous personalities die everyone comes out of the woodwork to bad-mouth them and make accusations about what a terrible person they really were, but I have not seen anything like that about Dean. That surely says a lot about the kind of man he was.
My favorite quote about dean, it show the type of man he was. His daughter Deana said her dad once said " He only work so his family will be taken care of after he is gone....other then that he work so he could play golf. His family always come 1st then golf. He was so easy goimg
Dean's voice was like an uncle to me from the radio. I grew up listening to him. 73 years later that feeling is still the same. Never new what he looked like until i was a teen. His 60's hits made him more popular with television. He was so handsome. Bob n Bing everyone knew because of White Christmas. I remember my son getting his first compter. When he showed me how to work it, first thing i did was search lyrics i remembered from toddler days. I stil recall the day the Queens father died. I wasn't quite 3, but the house seemed empty without the familiar voices. Those are the entertainers that can never be replaced.
@@samuelcole7736 actually the Angie bit was offensive but not the other type of humor, when Don says that about the entire dias jumping on Angie..no to that!
I enjoy watching these videos of the Roasts that I watched as a kid on TV with my family growing up in the 70s. In most of them, I feel joy at the nostalgia and humor, but also sadness at all the talent deceased and gone. What a pleasant surprise that in this one from 1976, no less than six performers on the dais are alive and well with us as of my viewing today on 12/21/21: Gabe Kaplan (76), Tony Orlando (77), Joe Namath (78), Rich Little (83), Ruth Buzzi (85), and Angie Dickinson (90). May God bless them with continued health and life, and may He bless Dean and the others who have passed on to His care in His Kingdom. Our lives were made more joyful by the gift of laughter they gave and continued to give through video.
Dear children, This is when comedy was funny without being offensive, was poignant without being pungent, and lightened our evenings without offending a single person I totally understand if you don’t recognize it in what passes for humor today
Wow! I’m speechless; so grateful to have lived in those years. In 1976 I was 19, to see how this world has deteriorated since growing up can bring me to tears! But for 1hr. 41 minutes and a few seconds I was just able to re-live some golden memories and take a break from modern-day reality! Great show!!!
Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen for the last 100 minutes of superb entertainment. I'm thrilled to say I come from the same era, so the memories I take to my final resting place will certainly keep me warm and contented . . . and if you're ever strolling by a cemetery at twilight one evening and you hear laughter echoing around the gravestones . . . don't be alarmed, it's probably just me watching a re-run of this Dean Martin Celebrity Roast show . . . God Bless.
I'm crying because of all these astounding actors and people that were the most classy and most amazing people ever. So darn funny! Oh my gosh. I miss this era so much. Minus the smoking this was just the best of the entertainment industry. I'm 22 and I'm so sad we don't get this kind of amazing comedy anymore... :(
@@oldguardduke Well at least today the actors aren't allowed to smoke or breath without a mask in a closed public setting,unlike this frightening display of FREEDOM in Las Vegas. Our Chinese 🇨🇳 overlords wouldn't be pleased with this behavior at all.. in 2024 we must Re-Elect. Joseph ROBBING IT Biden & Keep CHINA 🇨🇳 HAPPY.
It was 1976. These were the best of the best. Those of us who grew up with these stars were lucky and blessed. Most are gone now. May they rest in peace.
Garry Lisle carefull what you wish for. you had to wait in line for gas, cars downsized and engines became crap while the rest of the car was crap plastics interiors and thinning body panels and cocaine was brought in by the cia making addicts out of Americans while making drug cartels rich. I could go on. these roast were one of the good things
What an amazing line up!! I have loved Dean all my life and miss him.. 😢 I would have loved to to see him when I was in Vegas! In 1980. 🥰🏴🏴
Seeing these greats will always remind me what entertainment was all about no cell phones no computers just great traditional family entertainment sitting in the livingroom after dinner watching these Dean Martin roast were just great best humor and best times. How I wish I can sit in that livingroom with my family one more time
I met Dean Martin at his home in 1984. Perhaps the nicest and most friendliest person you ever met! We spent over 3 hours visiting. Will never forget it. He loved talking about Rio Bravo and the Duke! He said these were his favorite times, doing westerns with John Wayne!
I'm 41 and laughed my ass off the whole time here..... almost pissed myself a few times. These guys were friggin hilarious!!! There are no comedians today who even come close.
That’s not true. Why do ppl always say that? We can say comedians of the past were great while acknowledging we have some legends around today as well.
I worked at the Sands Motel and Casio in the 1980s for a few years, and was always happy to hear the music when the Celebrates were about to be introduced. Ones heart would just skip a beat hearing the intro music! These were good old days for me.
@@prime-boys the joke went over your head - and if you don't understand these comedians that made racist jokes (*jewish, black italian, puerto rican, gay etc) then may I suggest taking some MIDOL before watching this LMFAO
Amazing good clean comedy with not 1 curse word. The comedians of yesterday were pure genuine geniuses with awesome natural talent. I miss the 70s when life was more simple, fun and great, unlike todays crazy insane whacky world.
Great talent all around. Second to none and good clean fun. Yes, the envelope was pushed. But no swearing, cussing. And at moments you can feel the love and respect they had for each other. The line John Wayne delivered to Dino, great friends. they were.
All these people were fantastic back in the day. They always had fun making jokes at each other none of it was personal and they loved each other. Those truly were the good old days.
Don missed a trick when he mentioned the audience: "Looking around this great audience tonight, the cream of Hollywood, I am reminded of... all the excellent plastic surgeons we have". The good old days.
I was 20 back in 1976, I remember watching this with my father, tears of laughter rolling down his face.
All the greats that we grew up on that provided that much needed laughter. My father has passed away and many of the talents in that room have all left us, I miss those days, those shows , so I enjoyed this. Thankyou.

You are old enough to be my mom. Time is flying. I am 45 today. 🩷
60+ years for me, and AGREE totally!!!🤓🤓🤓
For Dean to assemble these great cast of comedians for his own roast is simply AWESOME. RIP buddy.
It was a open bar.
yeah. But wheres his buddy jerry a$$hole. ? AWESOME !
this is a prime example of how free speech works and the ability of the audience to not take offence of every word
I'm 77. I remember them all so well. It was far more entertaining than today's comedy.
❤
Even Orson Welles' roast sounds like a University lecture. One of the greatest Hollywood intellectuals.
He really hit it home during the Jimmy Stewart roast.
He was truly awesome

No filth smut swearing.......& people are laughing?
Wow…. nostalgic comedy at it’s finest,with the greatest artist of comedy,acting,sport,politics etc.I honestly don’t think that this form of honest clean family entertainment will ever be repeated again..I laugh so much at this I cry.. you actually believe they are family and friends up there ….thanks guys for the memories
I love these roasts - watched them all - no swearing genuine fun - can't tolerate any of the so called comedians today
And I'm guessing that making fun of Martin's drinking problem incessantly is clean family fun?
Yes, It truly WAS one of the funniest shows on the tube!
Something that I don't know if people watching this may not have noticed..... All these comedians and non comedians are not reading from teleprompters. And it is one of the reasons these roasts are so special. They have constant eye contact with the audience and eachother. The comedy is spontaneous. The laughing is authentic.
Ah, the memories. I so loved this show back when and still love it today. People were real. And humor was clean and real. People didn't get offended.
Will Smith didnt cancel every comedian…your libtard friends did
Great comment!’ No blasphemous ‘Oh my God’ then. Dean was clean and so was all his celebrity mates. I am 72 and just adore this man! Thanks Dean, you made my youth and to this day I still love and miss you!!
Comedy Central Roast struggles to compare. I'm 20 years old and I love this XD
This is one of the very best celebrity roasts of that era. What a great cast. Thank You for putting this on Y T.
Thank God that these videos are still so well preserved. These shows were great.
This was a golden age of tv and comedy. So many great stars and comedians . Dean Martin was a great singer and comedian. His tv shows were outstanding .
we will never see a talent like Don Rickles again.
Dean Martin was very handsome and talented, I also miss those days. He was born in Stubenville, Ohio., My Stepfather was the Mayor of Youngstown back in the 60's and knew him back then. Mr. Martin is interred in the Pierce Brothers Cemetery in Los Angeles along with many of his friends, Rest in Peace .
Wow I live about 20 mins from Youngstown in Warren
No. Rest in Pierce.
Always loved Rich Little's impression of Paul Lynn. 😂😂😂😂 Just genius!!
Bob Hope roasts everyone in eight words: “I’m delighted to be here at these auditions.” He’s in a class all by himself.
@Elba, you said it all and its was awesome, Hi and how are you doing ?
Clean comedy is the funniest! If you can make a crowd die laughing with clean humor, you're a true comedian. These classic men set the bar really high.
Make fun of race, religion and gender and NO ONE is offended. Can you imagine today?
Absolutely my friend!
Keezy Deejay yes
Keezy Deejay
FoolsRushIn Says I agree with you
If I had a time machine, this is where I would go first. These comedians were so funny and just make you feel good from laughing
I dunno, Don Rickles was an ASS then in still to this day!
I didn't realize how funny Orsen Welles was. That was priceless!
You've never heard Orson Welles on the Jack Benny Show doing a total send up of his own bigger than life character.
@@GraemeCree Orson Welles career took a bit of a nosedive later in his life, but he was an aura of class. I guess you can say he was a student of Shakespeare, and his 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast was his claim to fame, even if it scared lots of Americans.
@@KratostheThird I thought he didn't like talking about that, but the first time he met Phil Harris, Phil said something like "Hey Orson, what's shakin'? Been scaring anybody lately?" If he was okay with a gag like that, he couldn't have minded the subject too much.
In addition to the Jack Benny Show, where he was hilarious, Welles was in a couple of Dean Martin Roasts in the 70's, and he was funny there too.
This will never get old! What a time this was . Love it!🌻
RIP don rickles, you were a very funny comedian.
It's 2019 and these roasts still pack a punch! The epitome of humor!
Classic
It's 2022 over here
If you only knew what's coming in 2020-2022
Yep, after Oscar 2022, punches are given and taken differently now it seems... :-(
Timeless, classics and love 🎀 xoxoxo
I was born in 1972 so I grew up watching Johnny Carson and the Dean Martin show and these roasts!!!
All of them put on a show, but by god! The charm of Orson Welles and the spontaneity, quick wit and forked tongue of Don Rickles are a few leagues above everyone else. I could listen to the two of them for hours. They could be reciting the phone book and they would still find ways to make it entertaining.
Some of the best comedy of our time was made by these folks. For those of us old enough to remember them, this was great to watch. I was laughing the whole time.

This is so funny. I love it
Oh man!
The world back then was so much better!
It sure was. the 70's was and probably will be the best decade of my life. I hope that when I am in heaven, I can relive them over and over for eternity
Yes it was
I suppose Will Smith could not have handled a Dean Martin Roast ...
That is funny, Robert😆
Espec starring slappy white
I’m sure he could as long as he keeps his wife’s name out of his fucking mouth 😁
Probably not...
@Rowena Marten I'm pretty sure you don't understand humor.
I remember watching this with my Mom , I was a 17 year old kid with my whole life in front of me . My Dad drove a truck so he didn't get to watch alot of shows with us .
I was raised to love and respect great talent and of course with my Mom's family being Italian we worshipped Dean Martin .
These bring back so many memories of those days , sometimes it's hard not to shed a tear knowing so many are gone !
I was real young too. Times started changing not long after thus. 2 years even
You can tell the type of man Dean was, everyone loved him so much. I wish I was alive to see this stuff live back then. He seemed like a genuine person loved by many. RIP to one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived.
Kevin Geddis To me it speaks volumes that even after he died people still spoke well of him. So often when famous personalities die everyone comes out of the woodwork to bad-mouth them and make accusations about what a terrible person they really were, but I have not seen anything like that about Dean. That surely says a lot about the kind of man he was.
My favorite quote about dean, it show the type of man he was. His daughter Deana said her dad once said " He only work so his family will be taken care of after he is gone....other then that he work so he could play golf. His family always come 1st then golf. He was so easy goimg
Dean's voice was like an uncle to me from the radio. I grew up listening to him. 73 years later that feeling is still the same. Never new what he looked like until i was a teen. His 60's hits made him more popular with television. He was so handsome. Bob n Bing everyone knew because of White Christmas. I remember my son getting his first compter. When he showed me how to work it, first thing i did was search lyrics i remembered from toddler days. I stil recall the day the Queens father died. I wasn't quite 3, but the house seemed empty without the familiar voices. Those are the entertainers that can never be replaced.
STYLE, RESPECT, GENUINE HUMOUR & 100% PURE CLASS......The way it was meant to be....I Love these old Roasts.
Samuel Cole P.S Dayummmmmmmmmm.......I would have Loved to rail Angie Dickinson back then........WOW!
Samuel Cole r
@@samuelcole7736 actually the Angie bit was offensive but not the other type of humor, when Don says that about the entire dias jumping on Angie..no to that!
@@samuelcole7736 we have no interest in what you'd f**ck, posts like that need to STOP please
I enjoy watching these videos of the Roasts that I watched as a kid on TV with my family growing up in the 70s. In most of them, I feel joy at the nostalgia and humor, but also sadness at all the talent deceased and gone. What a pleasant surprise that in this one from 1976, no less than six performers on the dais are alive and well with us as of my viewing today on 12/21/21: Gabe Kaplan (76), Tony Orlando (77), Joe Namath (78), Rich Little (83), Ruth Buzzi (85), and Angie Dickinson (90). May God bless them with continued health and life, and may He bless Dean and the others who have passed on to His care in His Kingdom. Our lives were made more joyful by the gift of laughter they gave and continued to give through video.
Well said!!
This was true comedy and truly talented artists. Unlike today's so called comedians..
Anyone who does roasts now should be made to watch these old ones. They knew how to do funny back then. Today, not so much.
Pure, funny and clean. I really miss TV like this.
Dear children,
This is when comedy was funny without being offensive, was poignant without being pungent, and lightened our evenings without offending a single person
I totally understand if you don’t recognize it in what passes for humor today
Wow! I’m speechless; so grateful to have lived in those years. In 1976 I was 19, to see how this world has deteriorated since growing up can bring me to tears! But for 1hr. 41 minutes and a few seconds I was just able to re-live some golden memories and take a break from modern-day reality! Great show!!!
I was 7 but feel the same. Cyber huge from UK
Hugs...😘
I was just a kid when these roasts aired, but how much I loved watching them with my family and seeing my dad laugh until he cried!
I like the way Don makes jokes to people then presenting people to come up he has a tone of serious, respectful and genuine. Love you Don.
Gee, Don Rickles, Gene Kelly, John Wayne, Orson Welles, Jimmy Stewart, Muhammad Ali honoring Dino! Talks about an all-star cast!
You forgot the great Bob Hope!
Pretty remarkable!
Don't forget Foster Brooks, a legend in his time.
Perfect all star line up and amazing talent. So sadly missing most of them .
Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen for the last 100 minutes of superb entertainment. I'm thrilled to say I come from the same era, so the memories I take to my final resting place will certainly keep me warm and contented . . . and if you're ever strolling by a cemetery at twilight one evening and you hear laughter echoing around the gravestones . . . don't be alarmed, it's probably just me watching a re-run of this Dean Martin Celebrity Roast show . . . God Bless.
My first time watching this video and never thought I could laugh this hard.
Love to have them all back. They were the greatest. Made us all laugh. They will be missed but never forgotten.
I'm crying because of all these astounding actors and people that were the most classy and most amazing people ever. So darn funny! Oh my gosh. I miss this era so much. Minus the smoking this was just the best of the entertainment industry. I'm 22 and I'm so sad we don't get this kind of amazing comedy anymore... :(
You had to put smoking in there
None of today's so called Entertainers can hold a candle to any of these Greats of Entertainment!
God bless you babe..I know huh..we need true comedy, not this sad excuse for comedy nowadays
@@oldguardduke Well at least today the actors aren't allowed to smoke or breath without a mask in a closed public setting,unlike this frightening display of FREEDOM in Las Vegas. Our Chinese 🇨🇳 overlords wouldn't be pleased with this behavior at all.. in 2024 we must Re-Elect. Joseph ROBBING IT Biden & Keep CHINA 🇨🇳 HAPPY.
i love to see people your age like this old stuff. myself, i was a baby when this aired, you weren't even alive
It was 1976. These were the best of the best. Those of us who grew up with these stars were lucky and blessed. Most are gone now. May they rest in peace.
When you could tell a joke without wondering if you will insult 1/10th of 1/10th of 1/10th of the population
Don Rickles is freakin' LEGENDARY roaster
Anonymous Spiderman *Was :(
The best; a real natural!
wish I was alive through these times. when there was something called respect
Garry Lisle carefull what you wish for. you had to wait in line for gas, cars downsized and engines became crap while the rest of the car was crap plastics interiors and thinning body panels and cocaine was brought in by the cia making addicts out of Americans while making drug cartels rich. I could go on. these roast were one of the good things
What an amazing line up!! I have loved Dean all my life and miss him.. 😢 I would have loved to to see him when I was in Vegas! In 1980. 🥰🏴🏴
Seeing these greats will always remind me what entertainment was all about no cell phones no computers just great traditional family entertainment sitting in the livingroom after dinner watching these Dean Martin roast were just great best humor and best times. How I wish I can sit in that livingroom with my family one more time
Jimmy Stewart about had Rickles on floor choking on his sip of water after Jimmy opened.
Roflmao!
When Jimmy said to Don about a picture he'd done, I knew it would be The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
These are the Best Ever Roasts: King of Roasts Dean Martin and the Real Greats of Comedy
I met Dean Martin at his home in 1984. Perhaps the nicest and most friendliest person you ever met! We spent over 3 hours visiting. Will never forget it. He loved talking about Rio Bravo and the Duke! He said these were his favorite times, doing westerns with John Wayne!
Rickles to Ronald Reagan: "You don't see many governors wearing clip-on bow ties!" Hilarious without vulgarity.
The best roast ever, its sad to see most of the people on the show are gone.
All, not most.
@@melaniecotterell9972 Ruth Buzzi is still around as of January 2020.
well most of them were old even back then so it comes as no surprise they aren't around now
@@melaniecotterell9972 Angie Dickinson is also alive
@@melaniecotterell9972 18 dead 4 alive unless some have passed
I never laughed so hard these roasts were very funny!
I'm 41 and laughed my ass off the whole time here..... almost pissed myself a few times. These guys were friggin hilarious!!! There are no comedians today who even come close.
That’s not true. Why do ppl always say that? We can say comedians of the past were great while acknowledging we have some legends around today as well.
@@brynnharris-hamm1321Because it’s true. Liberal pussies killed comedy. Fact.
Back when everyone could take a joke.
These people had class. nothing disgusting, just genuine comedy.
Classic and absolutely delightful!!! Miss everyone here!
There will never be another Don Rickles!!!!!!
I worked at the Sands Motel and Casio in the 1980s for a few years, and was always happy to hear the music when the Celebrates were about to be introduced.
Ones heart would just skip a beat hearing the intro music!
These were good old days for me.
Unforgettable moments in time.
When life was real and we could joke and loved one another !
"If you met an italian, would you talk in italian?"
"No no, I never talk in front of them, I tap dance"
Rofl
im sorry but is that racism?
@@prime-boys the joke went over your head - and if you don't understand these comedians that made racist jokes (*jewish, black italian, puerto rican, gay etc) then may I suggest taking some MIDOL before watching this LMFAO
SirParcifal “ You Sir are an idiot! I’m simply asking a question and not by any way implying anything else!
It would be considered as racism today, but before it was not that big of a deal.
Amazing good clean comedy with not 1 curse word. The comedians of yesterday were pure genuine geniuses with awesome natural talent. I miss the 70s when life was more simple, fun and great, unlike todays crazy insane whacky world.
i still love dean he lived the dream
Truly, the Golden Age of television. My family watched all these shows together when I was a child and teen.
It simply doesn't get better than this full star cast and their wonderful sense of humour.
My mother was 92 when she left us. The funniest woman I ever knew. I miss you Betty Joe.
Man...there's a lot of stories from the big city at that table. Bet it'd make your stomach turn.
Great talent all around. Second to none and good clean fun. Yes, the envelope was pushed. But no swearing, cussing. And at moments you can feel the love and respect they had for each other. The line John Wayne delivered to Dino, great friends. they were.
All these people were fantastic back in the day. They always had fun making jokes at each other none of it was personal and they loved each other. Those truly were the good old days.
What an Iconic line up. The Best are gone. ☹
Don missed a trick when he mentioned the audience: "Looking around this great audience tonight, the cream of Hollywood, I am reminded of... all the excellent plastic surgeons we have". The good old days.
Yo Jack THANK YOU FOR this all the memories these guys were great. I can hear my mom and dad laughing again watching these shows. Really thanks
