What I have always loved about Don Rickles’ roasting is that he always gives a really sweet closing speech after he’s done roasting people. Best of all? No cussing and lewd jokes at all, just pure quick wits to make people genuinely laugh. RIP Don, you’re the king of roasting comedy.
No lewd jokes? Have you been listening to any of the roasts? They are talking about young girlfriends for old dudes and wives having their boyfriends and so on. "No cussing" is just a puritanical way of saying "I only like insults when they dont have naughty words ... because those words are naughty", the point of a roast is insulting people (in good fun) and that is the point of swear words as well ... Many of todays "jokes" are PRIMITIVE ... but the choice of words doesnt matter.
@@Hassan-pe2mu I thought he was referencing the recent IRA bombings that had taken place in London before they recorded that roast (hence the joke about smoke!)
Yeah, you can tell there was a very close bond between the three of them. None of that fake "showbiz" crap. I mean, Sinatra a decade later refused to perform at Reagan's inauguration if Rickles couldn't do it. That's a true friend.
Love how Sinatra blew the smoke upwards after Rickles complained. None of the jokes in this video were meant as hurtful. Just a group of people who had all performed together over the years.
I was laughing so hard but then my eyes welled up with tears. Sad that this wonderful era and people are gone but at the same time so eternally grateful to have enjoyed their gifts and talent. I miss you all.

THAT is how you roast. Note to comedy central. No F words needed. Funny routine, some jokes thrown at others, and pay homage 2 honoree at the end. Don was a pro. Miss these days....
to me the last great roasts were when they were at the Ney York Friers Club, and then it all went to hell, all flash and no class, but they did have some funny moments the newest ones, but i am watching old ones and my bloody sides are hurting from how much i am laughing
Jonathan Bzovsky Yeah, the Deano ones r classic. U may have 2 fast forward some, but Carroll O'connor, Redd Foxx r awesome ones. Dean's intro 2 Carroll's is lmao.

When Don is finally silenced and moves on from this earth I will cry my eyes out. It will be one of the saddest days I'm not looking forward to. Love ya Don..you're the best and always will be. Todays comedians need to bow down to this legend
Sadly, Don Rickles died at home on April 7, 2017 of kidney failure at age 90. What a loss! He gave us so much great comedy --most of it just off the cuff, he was so talented.

I hunt for this vid every time I want a good laugh. The same thing happens each time. I laugh my ass off and then as the vid comes to an end... I'm left with a deep feeling of loss. Really miss these guys and I miss this era that shall never be repeated.
Don Rickles is pretty much the last of an era. They could make fun of each other and laugh at each other. The nation and people actually had a sense of humor and sadly those days are gone. RIP Don Rickles.
JoJo/Clem Kadilihopper RIP to thick-skinned individuals. Nothing now but melting snowflakes furiously attempting to remain frozen by fear and victimized by free speech derived from differing opinions.

This was filmed in 1978, 30 years ago. Is anyone seen in this video still alive? I am 70 and remember them all and I was glad they did their thing for us all. Time marches on.

Just INCREDIBLE! Today’s “stars” should take notes...
Every now and then I come back to these just to remind me that life's only a temp job. god bless the Don.
I hunt for this vid every time I want a good laugh. The same thing happens each time. I laugh my ass off and then as the vid comes to an end... I'm left with a deep feeling of loss. Really miss these guys and I miss this era that shall never be repeated.

Don Rickles is pretty much the last of an era. They could make fun of each other and laugh at each other. The nation and people actually had a sense of humor and sadly those days are gone. RIP Don Rickles.
JoJo/Clem Kadilihopper RIP to thick-skinned individuals. Nothing now but melting snowflakes furiously attempting to remain frozen by fear and victimized by free speech derived from differing opinions.
That's Orson fuvkin Welles...
The whole damn room was magical...
The talent on that stage would blind today's stars!
Dons surprised Frank Sinatra on the tonight show and made several mafia jokes which Sinatra almost fell on the floor laughing at
Mr. Rickles, you will be deeply missed. Thanks for the decades of fantastic entertainment. Rest in peace, Mr. Warmth ~ May 8, 1926 - April 6, 2017 ~
A roast goes all directions with Rickles
“Give him a cookie and he went away”
Man been binge watching all his appearances this guy doesnt repeat his bits unlike most comedians nowadays.
Compare Rickles to the roasters of today. Rickles is off the cuff and ad-libbing. A master at his craft. Nowadays the roasters read off a piece of paper.
From a Brit, wonderful stuff, great times and a great era.
+Jason Jones Now you have to be a mind numbed Robot. Sense of humor is Obsolete. Nothing is PC. You can do Fuck jokes all day long. Anything else ? No . No fucking way. No pun intended. i think I might have just gotten away with a non Fuck bit of humor. I hope the humor police don't see it.
+crobarus We are watching you very closely.
dew02300 You'll get bored pretty quick. I'm not that exciting of a guy.
+crobarus The PC Committee will be the judge of that.
dew02300 But , who cares?
I've just wAtched everything I could find on don Rickles genius
Seen this hundreds of times but every time he does the Gilly bit and Sinatra cracks up gets me everytime
Don Rickles killed it at this roast.
I've never seen Don Rickles not be funny. He's never been off his game.
Rickles killed it wherever he was
This was filmed in 1978, 30 years ago. Is anyone seen in this video still alive? I am 70 and remember them all and I was glad they did their thing for us all. Time marches on.
1978 was 40 years ago at the time you wrote that, not 30 years ago 🤣
Rickles could cross a line nobody else dared to get near, with Sinatra.
"It's over" and "you ask him" are 2 of his greatest put downs. Never get tired of hearing them.
There was a time when we could make fun of each other. Laugh, experience non- vulgarity. That's class. Today? Well you know the deal.
This is beautiful! Rickles, Martin, Fox, Sinatra, President Reagan having fun! Priceless!!
Flip Wilson. Grew up watching his show. He was hilarious.
Don Rickles, master of hilarious sarcasm!!! He made fun of everybody and we ALL laughed. It was a much happier time when we could laugh at each other and ourselves and no one got “offended”. Sad.
When it comes to insult comics there are two tiers. Don Rickles and everyone else.
