It’s nearly the end of 2020 and I’m in tears laughing at Don Rickles. He was awesome. I’m black and I was not offended. I’m old school so I get this great comedian.
White,Black who cares ,what that means ,too me we're all the same ,incidentally I'm Scottish Don leveled the playing field made us all !!! laugh god bless him and god bless us all in laughter
To be insulted by Don was considered to be an honor. All these celebrities knew the "real Don. " A kind man with a big heart, the only man on the planet who could make them laugh at themselves.
I was at one of his final shows in Vegas before he passed. Got lucky and snuck into the front row seat that was empty and he ended up picking on me shortly after the show started... honor of a lifetime, sadly many in my generation don’t know who he is!
@@presleyrules I was a kid when first watching DR, he just insulted everyone, all the time and never stopped, DR actually tickled you to death, greatest insult comic of all times.
Exactly. That's why these types of videos are even more hilarious now than they were when the shows were originally filmed. Classics, Keepsakes, Memories.
What makes Don Rickles great is that he ripped EVERYONE a new one, but was sincere and complimentary immediately afterward. I love his comedy, a true legend.
Don Rickles could absolutely eviscerate someone and then say some of the most sincere, warm, heartfelt words you'd ever hear to them. No one like him...
Yuuuup. The harder he went in on you, the more he respected you. And he never ended it without dropping the act and paying respects. Class act through and through.
@Mr. Giraffe if you took a poll of blacks in their 50's they would say you're wrong. The main comedians we watched growing up were Flip Wilson ,Don Rickles, Bob Hope and Bob Newhart and a few others.
@@719Flowers Everyone there knows he doesn't mean what he says, it's unbelievable how many times he had to repeat himself saying it's a JOKE and how much he appreciates them. And yet we still have people not understanding if it was a joke or not.
You can't find anything like this today that matches the comedy of the 70's. White, Black, Indian, Puerto Rican, when it came to comedy everybody could laugh at jokes likes these because they knew they were funny.
I totally agree, the roasts nowadays the celebs look around to see whose laughing at them instead of appreciating the humor! I'm only 24 and wish I could experience these times haha
They knew that they could laugh at each other and had so much respect for one another. Sure some of the jokes hit below the belt and may have some racist tone, but everyone there knew it was just jokes that were in good humor. No one was trying to be offensive against the others. Just about every nationality is up there and all are laughing. Everyone love and respect Don Rickles. Everyone thought Abe Vegoda was dead many, many times. He finally passed this year. Makes me want to watch episodes of Barney Miller. The show was so funny.
Me too! I saw him 6 months prior to his passing. He was so funny and so sharp minded. I blew him a kiss at the end of the show and he gave me a great big smile. The man seated next to me said he and his wife met him that night getting out of a car.Don was very friendly to the both of them.He really was a nice guy like the song he sang that night."I'm a nice guy".I really miss him!
@@Brainstrain I was reading these wondering if someone was going to say something like you did lol!!! I love how they had to actually say before he died lol
Definitely a sign of the times. Many of his jokes would not fly today. However, since I am keeping things in context . . . Rickles is a master of his art!
Most of the bitching whining idiots are just doing it for no reason but just to do it and feel like they’re important which they aren’t!! Get over yourselves shitheads

Man, it's amazing to see everyone laughing at Don Rickles. Doesn't matter who was on the panel. Rickles knew how to bring folks together. I wish I was old enough to have seen this when it first aired.
I've never seen any comedian that can insult everybody so graciously and with such perfect timing and improvisation. I don't think there's any other human being that can achieve this without offending like Don does. You know he really meant some of those comments, but yet you still laugh at them.
When no one is safe, everyone can laugh. With Don, no one was safe, and as always, he ended with some honest love. People forget that. It's what is missing in today's comedy, not the humor, but the love.
It was odd to see his routine toward the end of his life, cause he still maintained his style of comedy...though in a world of spineless amoebas. The awkward part was me still keeling over in tears while seeing others not sure if they should laugh.
How we all laughed together....... Don Rickles, the man that could make 5 minutes of utterly hilarious non PC jokes about those around him, yet end it with 15 seconds of such warm heartedness and sincerity..... to me Rickles will always be Me Roast Master... RIP DON..... you may be gone but your memory will live on for many many years
NO MATTER WHO HE BEAT UP . HE ALWAYS CLOSED OUT WITH SOME WORDS OF KINDNESS AND HONESTY AND TRUE RESPECT NO MATTER COLOR CREED NATIONALITY RICH POOR RELIGION. TRULY FUNNY MAN ONE OF THE BEST. NO MALICE PERIOD.
And the comedy of this era makes you laugh as hard 50 years later...as it did those on the night it was recorded. That's a testimony to some solid comedy.
I love Don Rickles. He was asked to be on the Merv Griffin show to insult Mr. T, It was the funniest skit I ever seen. Can I sell you some boot polish? The old saying was. You're not famous unless you been insulted by Don Rickles!
Hilarious. Don Rickles is so funny here; his sense of humor really shines, but what really stands out is his humanity. Rickles ends each roast with a heartfelt speech about the man of the hour. He speaks with such humility.
These roasts are the best. They don't look rehearsed like the ones you see today. These legendary comedians had real humor and were damn quick witted. Lol.
@@maryyoung777 the Japanese were notorious for wearing “coke bottle” thick eyeglasses during the time they were our enemy during WWII. The Stereotypical Japanese portrayed for years on stage, the Big Screen, comic books, etc was this way.
Asians have a prevalence for myopia. At one time in the early to mid 20th century, Japanese tended to wear a style of spectacles that used round corrective lenses. The high lens correction and the round lens format resembled the thick round glass base of a coke bottle. The reference to coke bottle glasses was a stereotype for anyone with a large refractive correction, including a nearsighted student who read many books instead of engaging in activities like sports.

Terell he and I share the same birthday and I cried like a baby when I found out that he passed; Truly a goat in the comedy world!! Rest In Peace Don!!
Legends of comedy. You can't do comedy like this anymore. What a shame. People nowadays can't put feelings aside long enough to laugh at themselves. Lighten up, lifes too short!
It's the left that cries racism over everything. I saw a video this past week of liberals getting upset because a woman was talking about the physical differences between men and women and they all stormed out screaming "bigotry" and "fascism"...I don't think that is what those words mean...
Saw Don perform a number of times in Vegas and was never more impressed by how hard this man worked as a comedian. Kept everyone in stitches. My favorite comedian of all time.

When no one is safe, everyone can laugh. With Don, no one was safe, and as always, he ended with some honest love. People forget that. It's what is missing in today's comedy, not the humor, but the love.
It was odd to see his routine toward the end of his life, cause he still maintained his style of comedy...though in a world of spineless amoebas. The awkward part was me still keeling over in tears while seeing others not sure if they should laugh.
How we all laughed together....... Don Rickles, the man that could make 5 minutes of utterly hilarious non PC jokes about those around him, yet end it with 15 seconds of such warm heartedness and sincerity..... to me Rickles will always be Me Roast Master... RIP DON..... you may be gone but your memory will live on for many many years
Don Rickles was and will always remain a treasure, a master of humor. We miss him.
Yes, we all do. Good thing we have CZcams to see him again and again.
"Milton Berle Was One Of My Idols. But I Had Been In A State Mental Institution For A Number of Years" LOL!!!!! Great Line!!!
Never get tired of this man.
The honesty care and love dont find that today
NO MATTER WHO HE BEAT UP . HE ALWAYS CLOSED OUT WITH SOME WORDS OF KINDNESS AND HONESTY AND TRUE RESPECT NO MATTER COLOR CREED NATIONALITY RICH POOR RELIGION. TRULY FUNNY MAN ONE OF THE BEST. NO MALICE PERIOD.
Classy comedian and as well as the the whole panel
Great comedy makes you laugh years later.
Thank you Don Rickles for all the LOLs
RIP, my fellow American
And the comedy of this era makes you laugh as hard 50 years later...as it did those on the night it was recorded. That's a testimony to some solid comedy.
Don Rickles was just a blast. Well loved by everyone. RIP Don.
That was funny as hell even in 2019
it will be funny in 2119 and people will laugh.... at least in Bellows Falls, Vermont
I love Don Rickles. He was asked to be on the Merv Griffin show to insult Mr. T, It was the funniest skit I ever seen.
Can I sell you some boot polish?
The old saying was. You're not famous unless you been insulted by Don Rickles!
That look on Abe Vigoda's face
Barry Lee that was a classic 🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget Joe Garagiola's catchers mitt face!
He truly was a comic genius whose comedy still holds up
It is great when you can make other great legendary comedians laugh.
And he says these jokes with a straight face. A true comedic talent.
Hilarious. Don Rickles is so funny here; his sense of humor really shines, but what really stands out is his humanity. Rickles ends each roast with a heartfelt speech about the man of the hour. He speaks with such humility.
Everyone understands it was just fun and to laugh.
He ended it always with kind words
This is a time when people had a sense of humor and we could all laugh together.
Yeah men when they was still segregation and etc . Suck my dick bitch
@@dracnabid4442 your grammar/spelling and immediate insult shows your lack of intellect.
These roasts are the best. They don't look rehearsed like the ones you see today. These legendary comedians had real humor and were damn quick witted. Lol.
How many people understand the reference to "coke bottle" eyeglasses and the Japanese?
I don't
Those glasses would be a fire hazard if you put them on a window sill.
@@maryyoung777 the Japanese were notorious for wearing “coke bottle” thick eyeglasses during the time they were our enemy during WWII. The Stereotypical Japanese portrayed for years on stage, the Big Screen, comic books, etc was this way.
@@johnlafever3162 oh, ok. I sure did not know that. Thank you.
Asians have a prevalence for myopia. At one time in the early to mid 20th century, Japanese tended to wear a style of spectacles that used round corrective lenses. The high lens correction and the round lens format resembled the thick round glass base of a coke bottle. The reference to coke bottle glasses was a stereotype for anyone with a large refractive correction, including a nearsighted student who read many books instead of engaging in activities like sports.
The golden times when we could not only laugh at ourselves but at each other.
i could watch Don Rickles all day ! long live the 60’s and 70’s ✌️
Don Rickles- CPO Sharkey........ Anyone remember that show? Loved it as a kid. 1976-78.
CPO Sharkey: the show Rickles helped make famous by breaking Johnny Carson's cigarette box one night when Bob Newhart was guest host. Johnny's response was HILARIOUS: czcams.com/video/o4_dM0kMQc0/video.html
Oh yes ! I too was born in 1963...GREAT time to be young in the 1970's and 80's !!
My family loved it. We were pissed when they cancelled it.
Yeah I remember watching it as a kid on a good old black and white set and loved it
I’m gonna keep an eye on you..
Don Rickles, Equal Opportunity Roaster, yet exudes class throughout.
Best comedian ever, doubt many people over here in the Uk have ever heard of him.
Growing up we all made fun of each other, we laughed, had a good time and guess what, we never rioted!
The King of mean! Absolutely Love It!! Real comedy!!! From Mr.Warmth!!!
This guy was a one of a kind what a character ,my condolences to his family.
OLD classic movies

Redd Foxx was the man back in the 70's. Loved his work.
this would be a hell of a lot better world to live in if we had this kind of humor again and could laugh at ourselves
Love RED FOXX HE WON A DATE WITH. LENA HORNE. BUT THEN HE WAS ALREADY TO-GO OUT ON THE TOWN WHEN AUNT ESTER SHOWED-UP and he goes THAT AIN'T MY LENA.! "THAT'S SOMEONES HYENA!!----- MAN I. FEEL-OUT!!!!!!!!!!#!!!!###!!!!!!!
One of my dad's all-time favorite lines.
_...and when he read out his "Last Will" to all the family members and got to Aunt Esther, he said, "And to you Esther, I leave you.........ALONE!!" xD_
Nobody ever killed like Rickles.He was an original and insane comic
genius.He was like a machine gun:
anybody and anyone in his path was blasted with rapid-fire humor
and wit.Nobody could touch him
and like the other brilliant comic
Robin Williams,left his comic leg-
acy to the ages.Rest in Peace Mr.
Warmth..
This black guy still thinks Don was hilarious in 2019
Terell he and I share the same birthday and I cried like a baby when I found out that he passed; Truly a goat in the comedy world!! Rest In Peace Don!!
He went after us Italians good too :) It was all in good fun. I laughed like crazy!
Terell the great Don Rickles leveled the playing field, no sacred cows no one was untouchable or off limits and we loved him for it!
If people today didn't understand Don Rickles' humor, they would be pissed off at him.
Ty! 🙏
Don was a class act. Best roaster ever and could cut to the core, but at the end of the bit, sincerely cares and loves the person.
Legends of comedy. You can't do comedy like this anymore. What a shame. People nowadays can't put feelings aside long enough to laugh at themselves.
Lighten up, lifes too short!
Amen to that
Well would you look at that? People of different races actually getting along
TommyCage0736 won't ever see that again great job left
TommyCage0736 exactly.
It's the left that cries racism over everything. I saw a video this past week of liberals getting upset because a woman was talking about the physical differences between men and women and they all stormed out screaming "bigotry" and "fascism"...I don't think that is what those words mean...
The good old days
That's not special. I see it all the time.
Don Rickles was one of a kind, made racial jokes like no other, because he knew how racism was a big ass joke. RIP Don, will be truly missed.
Saw Don perform a number of times in Vegas and was never more impressed by how hard this man worked as a comedian. Kept everyone in stitches. My favorite comedian of all time.
"When you get a minute, rinse the cups" lmao

back when we could laugh at ourselves and not burn a city down yes sir we have come along way .
jim scaggs what????? The 70's was a horrible era for black people! Racism was horrible back then. This makes no sense! Every decade forward is better for blacks cause it's farther away from the brutal days of more public / blunt racism. Lol

Burned quite a few cities back then, we did. Not without conflict now, but the terms are better for all.
@@billie6528: Now black people are being gunned down by the police who are hiding behind their badges and a code of silence. Meanwhile, there's a orange baffon in the white house that's so desperate for a border wall, he wants to take out money from the military, disater relief, and education to spend for it. Oh yeah, we've come a long way in 2019
@@jackdull5699 You mean those blacks who were resisting arrest and fighting with police officers? In almost every one of those publicized cases, the black person was a fault. And yes, controlling illegal immigration is a GOOD thing. Or do you not believe in border security? What disaster relief? Puerto Rico has had big issues with misusing public funds for years. Trump was right to call them out on it. You know that Puerto Rican mayor that the media paraded around? She was recently arrested for corruption. And why oh why are non white people so desperate to come to a supposedly racist country like the US? Maybe you should layoff MSNBC and CNN for a while and talk to real people to get a true image of the United States.
One Comic Genius yanking the chains of other legendary performers!
RIGHT ON!
So many greats on one stage...TV will never compare to all these talents!!!
Not one swear word needed
Replaced by racism
EXACTLY, they did not need to say them.
@@Violent_Ed_1317 What racism? These people were making fun of stereotypes and everybody could laugh with each other. It's idiots like you that are destroying the fabric of this country.

@@JohnSmith-gq9gn They laugh does not always mean it was funny. Just like when your boss says something that is suppose to be funny and you laugh. You want to keep your job.
Straight Wit without being vulgar... that's how it's done...
Yeah, but like 99.9% of comedians do it without being vulgar.
I love that Redd said “fuck a tuxedo. I’m wearing my beige leisure suit”
This was excellent! Especially the last moment where Rickles gets real. Redd was an amazing talent.
