I'm not sure I would define Don Rickles as the epitome of comedy. He was largely unique. It's not like he spawned generations and a plethora of insult comics (perhaps he spawned a dog).
No one seems to realize this, but Don Rickles invented the mic drop. He's been doing it for decades. Mr. Warmth was actually that. A very warm person. And, he had one of the longest "Hollywood marriages" of all time. RIP Don Rickles 1929-2017
Dean Martin got away with it as well. Davis Jr., Bishop and Lawford had their noses so far up Sinatra's butt they could smell his breath. But Dean was way too cool to go for all that.
It’s very sad to see that my generation doesn’t know don rickles A LEGEND and I am one of the youngest ones in my family and and only listen to 60s through 80s music so sad to see things like this be forgotten RIP Don I won’t forget you
I remember as a kid in the 70's I would wake up at night with my dad laughing loudly from the living room. One night I was curious as to what could be making my dad laugh. Now my pop didn't laugh very much, so I had to see. I crept out into the hallway and peeked around at the TV. There was Don Rickles on the Tonight Show throwing insults at Johnny, Ed, and Doc. Rest in Peace Don.
My room was the first room down the hall and I could sneak to the edge of my door and lay on the floor and watch Carson from my room. I got caught quite a few times because I fell asleep in my doorway. Wish I could get a ticket to travel back to those times for a week!!!
I'll tell ya this. The guy never used qcards or a teleprompter in his life! He wasn't politically correct, but stars always say it's an insult not to be insulted by Don! He was a treat then & he still is one at 88 yrs!
Dean Martin said about his variety show where their were a lot of comedy skits with him and is guest stars: "There were only two guest stars who we never wrote a word for, Jonathon Winters and Don Rickles."
Just listen to the audience with Sinatra on Tonight. They are screaming with laughter. It's hard enough to get a laugh onstage, but to have the audience literally screaming is astounding.
Usually things are supposed to evolve better but I feel everything in that era was better than what we have today. I sound like I'm an old man but just a kid here lol
Anyone here in 2019? Two years since he’s been gone:( I’ve NEVER seen my dad laugh so hard I swear, this man has brought nothing but happiness. I mean come on, who else can joke around about Frank Sinatra’s gang?
Rest In Peace Don Rickles ... I was blessed to meet you in person.You brought a lot of joy and laughter and you'll be remembered as one of the best comedians in our life time, they just don't make comedians like you. #R.I.P 🙏🏻
Oh man, What a classic Tonight show. Sinatra hosting blew me away and then you got Rickles, the beautiful Angie Dickinson, George Burns and a quiet yet respectful Carrol O'Conner with, of course, Ed McMahon. Awesome and still grinning.
Thank you, Mr. Nichols, for posting here on TH-cam some special Don Rickles moments. I am sorry he's gone, as he was a treasure within the world of comedy, while representing the best of human nature (ironically).
I barely came to know about Don Rickles about two months ago, and it is great shame to see him pass away. I am not a religious person, nor do I believe in God, but if heaven is a real thing; Rickles deserves to be there.
I grew up watching the great comedians like Don Rickles, George Burns, Rodney Dangerfield, George Carlin, Johnny Carson and I'm only 45 years old. Now I say I miss the old days
I just found out we were born on the same day; and ironically this was AFTER i said he was definitely one of my favorite comedians of all time! Definitely one of my inspirations to do comedy!! Rest In Peace Mr. Rickles! A man unafraid to let ANYONE have it!! Blacks whites jews you name it!! Back when america wasnt so fuckin touchy!!
in the middle of a revolution as a young man from iran, when i'm trying to relax i'm in love with Sir Rickles. it's always Heart and mind treatment. i love his honest humor from his talented mind. RIP Dear Don and love ya
A legend ! This is real comedy, Rickles was so important as a means of people to accept one another. Sadly today politicians on the left, are using our differences in a negative way, they use our differences to separate Blacks from Whites, Gay against Straight, Muslim against Christian and so forth to pit us against one and divide humanity, they are evil. Rickles' comedy brought the differences out with laughter and made our differences okay and good. Rickles brought us all together, we learned to laugh at ourselves and each other, what a genius. Bob Newhart said, "Laughter gives us an opportunity to step back from a situation, deal with it and move on". Incredible People, God Bless them.
I tell you this; I kept hitting the volume keys on my laptop up and down, up and down. I tell you this; you could've adjusted the sound level.I tell you this, thank you
Ken Norton: 11 minutes and 49 seconds on this clip and you meow about the volume?? I tell you THIS: When the nurse makes her rounds, we'll wake you. Jell-O and Jeopardy at 3:30. Night Night
Rickles was a Taurus like myself and quick wit that landed on target most of the time with anyone or anything he talked about! 60 years in Show Biz! ...I loved him the best on CARSON! I am 54 now and was still too young to see the late 60's stuff, but Don got better with age! I loved how he'd say how laid back his wife was! They had a son .( Larry) who passed at just 41 some 10+ years ago....God bless Don Rickles for all the JOY he truly brought us all !! He always ended his shtick' with love! Hall of Fame entertainer !!

"He's the definition of what a real comic is." -- Eddie Murphy
I'm not sure I would define Don Rickles as the epitome of comedy. He was largely unique. It's not like he spawned generations and a plethora of insult comics (perhaps he spawned a dog).
I didn't know Murphy said that; spot on, of course.
@Crazy Canuck You missed the point, I think. I didn't say he wasn't funny. Do you know what "epitome" means?
@@jeffbellin8224lol! Too many snow flakes for insult comics these days. Not enough safe spaces for them to run and hide.
No one seems to realize this, but Don Rickles invented the mic drop. He's been doing it for decades.
Mr. Warmth was actually that. A very warm person. And, he had one of the longest "Hollywood marriages" of all time.
RIP Don Rickles
1929-2017
Crashburn 32 He was actually born in 1926. He was 90 when he died. He'd have been 91 next month.
Imagine my embarrassment.
Best TH-cam comment. Thanks

Don was the only one who can speak to Sinatra like that
Not really. The Rat Pack was all about busting balls...
Yeah man, Sammy Davis jr. was a class act too! (don't look at the eye...lol)
Dean Martin got away with it as well. Davis Jr., Bishop and Lawford had their noses so far up Sinatra's butt they could smell his breath. But Dean was way too cool to go for all that.
That’s a tired old line
I worked at Sinatra’s house once. He didn’t scare me. The 4 Italian guys outside leaning against his limo scared the shit outta me.
It’s very sad to see that my generation doesn’t know don rickles A LEGEND and I am one of the youngest ones in my family and and only listen to 60s through 80s music so sad to see things like this be forgotten RIP Don I won’t forget you

Don Rickles (1926-2017) You'll be truly missed sir! Thanks for the all laughs! "Master of the Insult"
Aah Mr. Warmth.

Such a sweet memory that you shared. Thank you! Absolutely beautiful.
I would be in bed waiting to fall asleep, Johnny Carson opening music coming from living room.
nice memory. Thanks for sharing.
My room was the first room down the hall and I could sneak to the edge of my door and lay on the floor and watch Carson from my room. I got caught quite a few times because I fell asleep in my doorway. Wish I could get a ticket to travel back to those times for a week!!!
I remember my dad back then doing the same thing, laughing at Rodney Dangerfield on the Carson show. lol
Don was a classic. You didn't grow up with parents in the 60's and 70's and didn't love him.
I'll tell ya this. The guy never used qcards or a teleprompter in his life! He wasn't politically correct, but stars always say it's an insult not to be insulted by Don! He was a treat then & he still is one at 88 yrs!
he would have been rioted these days with our PC SJWs parading around.
Scott A look at you and your fucking acronyms you're just as bad lol
bradda brudda Everybody knows what it means triggered boy

Cue cards*
Tears are rolling down my face.......Don, you are dearly missed......

Growing up in the 70s any time you got to see Don was a treat.
every moment with Don WAS a favorite.
So full of spirit !
so full of 💩
Unique, unsurpassed, never to be repeated...RIP Mr Rickles.
RIP, to this legend, he predated the current roasters which rely on being edgelords, Don had substance and an amazingly quick with.
'wit'
Oh man, What a classic Tonight show. Sinatra hosting blew me away and then you got Rickles, the beautiful Angie Dickinson, George Burns and a quiet yet respectful Carrol O'Conner with, of course, Ed McMahon. Awesome and still grinning.
He was amazing. I was lucky enough to see his show in Vegas back in 1983.
Jesus Paul how old are you lad

Rest In Peace, the best they'll ever be for this kind of comedy !!!
No one does Mr potato head better than Don Rickles! 💔 He will be missed

There just was NOBODY better or more loved ! I had the honor of seeing him 2 times and got his autograph. :).

To Don Rickles; may his legend never die.
Will always love this guy!!!!! He is the definition of a G.O.A.T
Don Rickles IS forever.
Legend has it, hes still following all of his sentances with "I tell ya this!"
Rip Don thank you for the amazing comedy and humor you brought into this world. You will be missed.
Jimmy Kimmel - that Don Rickles tribute was beautiful. I was crying right along with you. Deepest Sympathy.
A talent like no other. That's saying a lot considering everyone in the studio there is a legend.
No one was exempt from his wonderful wit and sarcasm. What better tribute to pay a comedian than to say he made me laugh.
Rickles was and is a comic genius.
Im here cackling in my bed😂❤ RIP Don what a great guy
No one can make me laugh like the Great Don Rickles!! There will never be another one like him.
You'll be missed. RIP Don Rickles.
Would love if someone made a compilation of Don’s heartfelt compliments
RIP in peace Don. Thanks for the hundreds of laughs.
What a legend !
go to your room and play with yourself. You don't need to watch it.
+george fish You just got your wish, sir! Now go fuck yourself.
George, no one likes you and you know it. Have a nice day.
Wilson, what are you doing here xD
R.I.P. Mr Rickles, Thank-you, for All the laughs, and making us All feel a hell of a lot better.
Don Rickles R.I.P. :( QC
Don Rickles i can see his videos 24/7 love him
Don Rickles was a legend. Very funny. Do miss his humor.
Don Rikles represents a variant of comedy that is at the low end of humour. Thankfully not many others followed this thread
They don't make comedian like those anymore
Rest easy, Don...you brought joy to many....
They don''t make them like this anymore! Never wrote anything down & everything he said was off the cuff!
he was unreal one of the best ,can not be replaced
Rickles is the guy that famous people keep around because he's so funny!
OMG I laughed till I cried !!! :)))))))))))
The Frank Sinatra interview had me in tears !!!
Always be my favourite comedian ever! Miss you Don! You are hilarious!!! And this video!!! 😂😭😂😭😂
Broke the mold after they made him. RIP Don, thanks for the laughs.
I barely came to know about Don Rickles about two months ago, and it is great shame to see him pass away. I am not a religious person, nor do I believe in God, but if heaven is a real thing; Rickles deserves to be there.
The entrance music makes him look like a bullfighter. hahaha
RIP Don "Mr. Warmth" Rickles.
Dag!!! I'm so sorry to see him go! My folks watched him and I fell in love with his humor. The last great one!! RIP..🙋🏾😓😓😥😥
A room of legends is an understatement. You couldn’t pull up his off today. Entertaining to say the least.
Don made Frank laugh with such gusto, and great to watch
Unbelievable talent Mr. Don Rickles. Love from Bangladesh.
I grew up watching the great comedians like Don Rickles, George Burns, Rodney Dangerfield, George Carlin, Johnny Carson and I'm only 45 years old.
Now I say I miss the old days

Thanks for the memories......
First memory of Don was on The Dean Martin Roasts and Johnny Carson. The funniest comedian ever. RIP ,Don . You are missed.
He was one of a kind - he could insult you and you didn't mind. Thanks for the memories.
I tell you this; I kept hitting the volume keys on my laptop up and down, up and down. I tell you this; you could've adjusted the sound level.I tell you this, thank you
i tell you this, why say i tell you this many times?
+Val Kal Maybe he's the Ken Norton that got hit too many times ??
