No one and nothing was off limits and no one was offended. Class all the way through this show! The best of TV is gone but I enjoy taking walk down memory lane.
Jesus there is such a ridiculous contradiction in these comments, he couldn't swear or discuss sex, which everyone celebrates here as being classy, which it might be, but you can't say people are pansies nowadays this was the golden age, meanwhile if you said Damn or blowjob everyone would have gasped.
Thank you Don!! Every race and religion have some quirks, and others are just misunderstood Pop culture beliefs. We should all be making fun of ourselves during this pandemic. Laughter and love will hopefully get most of us through this. I live in an assisted living facility and I keep telling jokes as we are on lockdown. I pray for the world, but sometimes you have to stop and laugh. Good luck to us all, God bless and try to laugh. I'm Irish and can't think of anything funny about us. ( lol) Rich
That is a bittersweet statement for me. Bitter, because people are so sensitive today and complain so much and that Mr Rickles is not with us anymore. Sweet, because he was able to do his things to full potential back then and not in our generation's time of over sensitiveness and snowflakeness. He is never offensive because you know that he is a real nice guy first then a comedian. The world will never have anyone like him ever again. He is a true Legend.
I'm a 25y from Belgium in Europe, born in 1994, and hate those wannabe comedians of today. I love watching CZcams videos of Rodney and Don Rickles. I'm not even an American nor old enough to even witnessed these great guys. I wish I was born in the 60's or something to have witnessed these legends in the flesh. Carson, Dangerfield, Martin, Rickles, Sinatra,... God bless CZcams!!
I remember watching all this as a little kid in the 70's, but most of it went over my head. It's fun being able to rewatch it now, in my 50's - I can enjoy it in a whole new light.
You knew you'd made it when Don Rickles made fun of you. He was outrageously funny. He could insult the heck out of anyone and have them laughing about it. God rest you, Don. You were one of the best.

I watched all of these Roasts when new on tv, but this particular Roast remains in my memory more than the others. I was 14, and in 8th grade when this one was shown. Rickles was hilarious, as was his sitcom CPO Sharkey. I watched all the prime time shows made during 1964 and every year afterward. The 1960s-1980s had the best shows of any decade. Most shows after 1990 have reeked, in more ways than one.
The whole lot of them have departed the stage. Never will there be entertainers of this calibre again. Thank goodness for youtube where we can continue to enjoy the sharp wit of these amazing icons of entertainment.
This tribute to Telly Savalas, I recall so well.I was in 8th grade when it was shown on TV for the first time, and my best friend and I talked about it at school.
EVERYTHING, including RACE is funny to people who have a sense of humor and aren’t actually racist.... Democrats owned the slaves, democrats founded the KKK, democrats kept a KKK Exalted Cyclops in the U.S. Senate for 51 years until he died in office in 2010.... now the democrats claim that republicans are racist..... eat shit and die with that BS! PS. Most of the people in Hollywood then and now were/are democrats, so if you see them making fun of race, it was your side in almost every case, including Don Rickles....
Don Rickles was one of a kind. It didn’t matter your religion, ethnicity, creed, race, or color, as Don picked on everyone equally and never did anyone get offended by him as it was in good fun. He was one of the best comedians ever. Thank you Mr. Rickles for all of the comedy you gave to us over your lifetime and we still are laughing with you. RIP Mr. Don Rickles
@@Arturo-sm1tb Oh go run to your safe space you liberal crybaby nutcase evidently you never watched Sanford and Son or the Jeffersons who made fun of white people as well 😂
No matter how down I'm feeling Mr Don Rickles almost always can lift me up. Only when I'm grieving I cannot laugh but every other time God knows Rickles will put a smile on my face.
Saw Don in Law Vegas many years ago. I sat behind Telly Savallas and Don had him on stage doing Greek dancing. Rickles was brilliant. As it became clear he was about to end some people got up to leave early. He called them on it and said, "Just for that I'm going to do 10 minutes more." And he did. He ended his show by saying that he hoped he had not offended anyone. "We are all different and we all have our funny sides. Hopefully we can laugh at ourselves together," he added. Side splitting entertainer.
The one about Shelly Winters taking an oar to the head: it was a reference to her role in "A Place In The Sun" with Monty Clift. Gone, all are gone now, damn.
I’m obsessed with Don. Man oh man I miss him. His humor even the jokes about all ethnicities and races they all laughed about it. Nowadays everyone is so damn hyper sensitive.
I remember this Roast in particular, when new. I had even recorded it on those small reel-to-reel tapes, holding the recorder microphone up to the TV console speaker during the entire program. I did it for a school friend, we were in 8th grade. She wouldn't have been able to watch the program, but she was happy to listen to it. This was during the 1974-75 period, depending on the month it was done. I watched most of these Roasts of Dean's. All the celebs on them I was familiar with.
Only Don Rickles could get away with this kind of humor. He was the best and everyone he "insulted" wore that as a badge of honor. If anyone tried that kind of act today they would be yanked off the stage and done in the business. RIP Don.
I'm writing it from Poland. I'ts 2019 and I must say: those were the times... smoking on tv screen, classy people, no f... words in the jokes - and still funny and inteligent. Is it just me or maybe there is something different today? :)
On behalf of the Greeks and the Jewish people: Don`t move into the neighborhood. Fantastic!!! Thunderbolt & Lightfoot!! George Kennedy!!! Jesus, Don Rickles was a genius!!!
Don Was An Ace In Comedy, He Was So Unique In 2 Minutes When He Would Walk Out On Stage, And It Would Be Funny What Jokes He Would Say That Quick, We Will Miss Him. RIP
We all know this is brilliant. Yet today, his teasing Nipsy, and all the other things would be enough to black list him. America is in shambles, Hollywood is a large part of the blame.
Love it. Just so funny and everybody having a good time, drinking and smoking and nobody is offended at all. Don was pure class and acted with telly savalas in kellys heroes 1970, they remained friends. I think the clint eastwood jokes had a bit of kellys heroes attached to it. As they all acted together init. Dons humour and ability to make people laugh was at the top of the tree. No continuing swear words, just classy jokes about telly and the people thare. Man its like wee are living in a different age. With all the crap and garbage wee have to deal with now. So glad these clips and full roasts are available to unwind now and again.

Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I met Don Rickles in Vegas many times.
A true gentleman.
Great tipper.🤑
What an epic list of celebrities ...... Nothing like them, and never will be.
Need him in today's world.
Back when no one got offended at rickles brand of insult humor
Rickles = Legend
All of them were legends
I used to watch these men and women when I was a kid in the 1960's. Most had their own variety series on tv.
What a lovely show, watching Telly Savalas laughing at what is said and hearing his laugh wow. Love you baby.
Would love to have met Telly.
"equal opportunity insulting" - nobody got offended, 'cause everybody was a target - I miss the good ol days, when people could take a joke.

Wish we had great comedy shows like this now on tv!!
As always with Don, nobody on the dais was safe.
Of course no one on the dais was 'safe'!
Don Rickles, invented the concept of "Scorched Earth Comedy"!
What a beautiful, funny thing. Class and talent personified.
Remember watching in the 70s. I was in my teens. All were class acts and funny as hell.

I like you very much Telli, more than I thought I would ... I lost it there just like he did, lol!
Genius pure and simple.
This is the funniest roast by Don I've seen, absolute classic.
I have many of the roasts on VHS and DVD. They are hilarious to watch over and over again. Priceless comedy with actors long gone now.
George kennedy is underappreciated today but remember he won an oscar for Cool Hand Luke
Threw the night stick down the sidewalk and knocked the robber down! Killer!
He was great. Like all those guys back then. Lancaster, Eastwood etc etc
Oh how beautiful it would be to still have Don in his prime eviscerating this generation!
