Met him backstage in Vegas in the early 90s. Very nice. I asked him to insult me. He said, "nope. I only insult people who matter." 👍🤣
That’s priceless.
That's an awesome insult!
I love it - so jealous!
HAHAhahaa thank you for this story drop
he had the quickest quips in the biz.
This man is just incredible to watch. The confidence, the charisma, the timing...a true legendary professional. I hang on every word. He's on my Mount Rushmore of Comedy.
He has comedic vision. He knows where he’s going and we follow.
Every word! And don't want to blink watching him! So fascinating thinking of other legends (see R Williams) who came after him, the inspiration they took from Rickles is easy to see...
His style goes way back to the vaudeville days...Catskills, burlesque. You had to be quick in your delivery because you only had so much time to make 'em laugh before the next act, stripper, or main attraction.
Think Henny Youngman, Rodney Dangerfield...
when the best way to avoid getting your ass kicked regularly is by being funnier than anyone else you learn quickly.
@@garyaugustus1009 ur right. very vaudevillian.
not only is he authorized to insult everyone. he's REQUIRED to do so!
It would of been a honour
It's By LAW!
baddmanaz
I bet he was insured by Lloyds of London to insult everyone.
It’s in his contract.
I envied him...he had carte blanche to insult people and get thanked and paid for it. If we insult people we get punched in the nose.
I got to see him a couple years ago with my father. We laughed so hard. Now they're both gone, but I love the memory
My father died just last June, Rest In Peace to our old men and to Don. Glad you have the memories
@@joeyscerbo7776 May for mine. We were tight. Not to the memories stage yet, but yeah, super glad I have them
Do you think Don's up there in heaven making fun of God, Jesus & the apostles or is he in Hell telling jokes about the Devil?
Today is 4/29/24. Rickles is timeless. Watched this after 10 other Don Rickles videos today. He’s the best.
8/11/2024 Me too i've been watching roasts all day
The big shots came out to see Rickles. He played that audience like a violin and I've never seen anyone else do that on SNL.
Wow! This was so captivating I TOTALLY forgot out was supposed to be SNL!!! 🤔
That’s because no one else could or can to this day. I grew up loving Mr.Warmth and I miss him dearly.
This is what performing is all about. Rickles was a master who perfected his craft. He could say anything--even now--and the audience would drink it in like ambrosia. That's called RESPECT.
Takes an incredible amount of talent and experience to pull that off. He was a master. Saw him perform at Tahoe in 1970....laughed so hard it hurt.
He had no filter but everybody in the business respected him.
I'm so glad i found out about who Don Rickles was just recently, i have so many videos of him to watch ahead.The best comedy i've ever seen
Same, he's great.
Same!
Omg. You are in for a treat!
Hold up!!! You're just learning of Rickles....please tell me you watched him roast ppl with Dean Martin.
Rickles is someone who is quick with his words and responses. Do me a favor......look up Foster Brooks on Dean Martin's Roast....TRUST ME!!!
The genius of Don Rickles workin the room like no other. Total improv. R.I.P. Don Rickles. The world misses you
My favourite Rickles bit goes something like this..."Frank Sinatra saved my life one time!! I was getting the crap beat out of me by four great big guys behind The Sahara in Vegas....they were really working me over....all of a sudden a door opened and Sinatra said "Okay guys....I think he's had enough."
@@bobzani - For sure it was Rickles that I heard tell it.
I heard that same story - but it was Shecky Greene telling it.
@@ROGER2095 Yes. It was Shecky Greene, and it really happened. A friend of mine read the Sinatra biography, and he said so
@@ROGER2095 Definitely a rickles line
Rickles actually had a Twitter account in his final years. One of his actual tweets: "I miss Frank Sinatra. He used to slap me to relax!"
"Can I grab you by the legs? I wanna dust." - NO one ever since would have gotten that so quick, so well and so delightfully.
I've never seen a set, interview or performance of his that didn't make me laugh...A true legend !
“ I don’t care what you are.
You are fat” - Don rickles #classic #respect
I replayed it so many times and everytime it was even more hilarious. What an absolute legend!
"... I tell you this..."
just out of nowhere its genius.
i think he was pointing at Madden!
@@stephensoldner Yep, there was no one else in that general area as big as Madden. LOL
This country could use a good Don Rickles enema right about now.
ha ha ha
God, I love that idea!!! I grew up with Johnny Carson, Dangerfield, Rickles, Pryor, Carlin, etc. No one left anymore ☹️
Merch Marine He’s so full of shit that he needs it everyday!
@@despicableme8762 - Bill Burr!
Absolutely! Perfect solution*
More laughs in this 10 minute clip than the past 10 years of SNL.
RIP Don!
Yes.
Tru' Dat!!!
So true it hurts.
Scourge to All Humanity !
fuck the new cast - the last few iterations. they are sorry leftist naive morons! comedy needs to confront, expose, educate and entertain and they fail on those fronts.
He even managed to insult the Swedes and the Swiss at the same time.
I call this "scorched earth crowd work" by the time Don Rickles is done, the WHOLE audience is dying laughing. What a legend.
Jeff Ross is No Where in HELL Close to This Perfection!
Ross is just Funny Vulgar!
Rickles got away with it because deep down you knew he really loved you. One of my favorite lines of his is: "You know, Larry, you and I have known each other a long time now and frankly,... I've never liked you." He may have said that to either Larry King or Regis (who liked to be called Larry) both laughed until they died. Seriously.
Never get away with it now, no matter what. First black, Mex, Chinese or homosexual insult...CANCELED. A different and far scarier country than anytime in our history, including 1861.
One day we'll all be cancelled just because we were aware of this video even if we never watched it. That's way too scary because it could happen. That's fascism!
@Marc Petrie Every day for them is opposite day. Anti fascist is fascist. If they're woke that just means they are really ASLEEP. One day they will be rudely awakened into a bloody nightmare. Hopefully, we won't be around for that.
Madden just chillin' in the audience.
I saw him!! He must have just spotted him and made the joke
He's there in the audience. He certainly isn't working on making Madden the video game worth buying.
@realworldtalking Good get the fuck outta here.
@@seanstandup9157 It was 1984.
One of the best things about TH-cam is we have these memories.
and cat videos
That's amazing 💖💯👏
Too many crybabies these days. Lol
On this night it wasn’t SNL it was the Don Rickles Show
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
If the host is any good it should mostly be that way all the time.
I remember this night so well - we talked about it all week !!
Agreed, Danyal. I wonder if that is why SNL has stopped using comedy icons. They don't want to be upstaged. There is a Facebook group that wants to see Carol Burnett host SNL. Every woman on that show owes Carol Burnett a debt of gratitude, but NBC ignores it!
@@AmosPressley Wow!! Carol Burnett!! Now that would be an Awesome episode!
Simply a master. Don Rickles was one of those rare talents who could say things that weren't even inherently funny, but you would still laugh because his timing and physical expressiveness were so absolutely perfect at all times.
Saw him live a few times at Harrahs Lake Tahoe.....quickest wit ever... left the show exhausted from laughing.... I was an entertainer there and he introduced me from the stage...one of the highlights of my career.
Met Don back stage Harrahs casino /hotel lake Tahoe. One of the most nicest human beings in the entertainment world . Funny but insulting in a nice way. Everyone wants to be insulted by him as it was a sign that he liked you .
- "are you italian.. who's italian?
- (crowd cheers)
- "where the hell were you in worldwar II? they could have used you.."
LOL That was a good one. Btw I believe Don was in the Navy during the war.
Fun Fact: The Italians were allied with Nazi Germany in World War II.
@@macmacreynolds8712 That needs to be said bc most young people dont give a crap about history.
"More Italians fought in World War II than any other ethnic group"
@@samo619 Correction: More Italians surrendered in World War II than any other ethnic group.
Geez Rickles was on fire. One of the best opening SNL monologues.
This is like rare footage. He left his mark everywhere. My favorite comedian
I can’t help but like the guy. He was from a time when a joke was just words. Nobody got offended and even if they did, they learned to get over themselves. One of the greats from a time long since passed. A relief from 2020.
True great
When he was coming up in the business, the people he made fun of lived knowing people would make fun of them and because of our culture they just had to learn to live with it. As time went by, those same people started to believe they have value beyond just being the butt of somebody's joke and with the support of people who agreed with them, started to stand up for themselves. To counter that 'revolution' right wingers came up with a word to describe them.....WOKE, which people like that do when they have no acceptable reasons for thinking or acting the way they do. I am not knocking Don. Due to the entirety of his routine, it is much easier to accept what he says, but in a sense, his making fun using stereotypes such as the interaction with the Chinese lady, is out of place in a world that has, literally 'woke' up to the insensitivity of that type of humor. R.I.P Don.
@@normanacree1635 Nope . "Woke" is a term used to describe an excuse dreamed up by emotionally disturbed spoiled churls who like to ruin everyone else's party, bully people, and break their toys while standing behind the false justification of self-righteous virute signaling. So-called "pprogressives" are miserable, hateful people, and they try to drag everyone else down with them. The only good ones are in cemeteries.
"What are you? A Bird" CLASSIC
he was quick
@@rahard Sharp as a ...something...
j could watch Don all day long. May he make the man upstairs laugh for ever. Bless you Don
This aired in January of 1984? Today, 10-11-2020, is the first time I've seen it. Damn that was a long nap. What else are you hiding, You Tube?
wanna see a man compare the taste of various waters?
@Honest Person Lorne Michaels is a legend.......in his own mind.
I know! I never saw this before!
if you can find the other clips he is constantly getting Joe Piscopo to break and there is a running gag throughout the whole show with the two of them. hysterical!
@@ggeer It's probably in a season of SNL Michaels won't release, he's such a pompous ass.
this was a special moment, to have him host. added such class and importance to the show.
That was the true meaning of legendary. One of the best ever. It’s a privilege to see someone who is that talented and sharp do his thing.
Just like Dean Martin would say, "this man is a beast, monster of insult".
"Merchant of venom"
"Black-belt in hatred"
'Duke of Dager'
Rickles was with me from my first memories until the day he died and is still with me ..Not only a unique comedian but also a great actor . Love always Don .
I had never seen anybody work the crowd at SNL like this. I can’t believe I just found this, what a legend.
Don was one in a million, 40 years ago last August on our honeymoon, my wife and I saw his show at the Resorts international hotel in New Jersey. Owned by Merve Griffin then, I was on leave while in the United States Army. We are still married to this day 40 years, and will never forget his wonderful show at Resorts. What a talented man he was.
Edit: And what a beautiful wife God has blessed me with, I will be forever in love with her.
One in a million? How about one in 80 million? I think you would have to look at waaaaay more than a million people to find somebody else like him. R.I.P. Don.
This guy was the best. I had seen him in person many times - just killed me laughing every time. Miss him for sure.
He's just simply amazing. A true genius! He was the gold standard of comedy!!
Even in his final years, when his body began to betray him, his mind was still razor sharp.
The only comedian who insulted anybody and everyone and got a pass
Except Sinatra. Only light jests, but nothing like how he treated everyone else.
Rickles had to wait until Sinatra died, and then some more time, for him to tell jokes about Sinatra's mob-ties.
@@igunashiodesu Yup
@@igunashiodesu Not true. He would go at Sinatra unlike anyone else would, and Sinatra loved it.
@@mattlinx2 holy Jesus you're right th-cam.com/video/HeqzJDuQBcA/w-d-xo.html
I was paraphrasing a quote I heard him say at a talk show some time ago (not Carson though).
Ummm Joan Rivers anyone? She did mostly self deprecation but she also was an insult comic in her day.
“You know why I’m laughing, cause I know what’s coming next and I’m so funny” Brilliant! If anyone ever said you would know a great comedian by one line, that would be it. Love you Don you will be missed.
Well yumpin yimminy.
His lines wouldn't be funny on a page - but his delivery made them hysterical.
Got to see him at a casino - great night. Loved the man.
I love how he'll insult people but then bring them back up. Quality comedy!
Thinking the same thing!
I bet this act would work today. You can't say that about many of them.
no punchlines. no hits. no tags. no zingers. any derp could roast this wannabe jester. stick to voice over work.
@@Xxd04xX I don’t think this is his best work, but I’ll agree to disagree on the overall quality of his work. His insult comedy was top notch, and it’s a damn shame he’s gone.
Started watching Don Rickles back in 2014 after I graduated high school I never laughed so hard in my life! I was so upset the day he passed away he was such an inspiration to me. R.I.P Don Rickles
I found him right after he passed. He was in an episode of Comedians in cars getting coffee with Jerry Seinfeld. I knew him from Toy Story, but it wasn't until then when I realized he was a legendary act and basically part of the Rat Pack. I watched old clips during school and I loved hearing his stories.
You two young people really missed out. But thank goodness for TH-cam so you can see this great comedian at his very best.
Larry Shackle seriously though.. if it wasn’t for TH-cam, I would have never found out about Don Rickles.
@@datboi1971 Same here. Not to mention the decades of show appearances and roasts.
Jesus Christ Don was the undisputed unbeatable legend of comedy.
I watched this show the night it happened. He took over the whole show like no one I've ever see do. Memorable. Glad to see these clips up.
Best monologue I've seen. He was truly funny and one of a kind!
Now that's how you work the room, perfect!
What a legend. He would walk out on stage with no prepared material. Such an entertainer. What crowd work. He's missed.
Rickles calling out John Madden in the audience was awesome, sad we lost two legends :/
I couldn't tell if it was John Madden or John Candy. Amazing similarities.
And also the legendary Brandon Tartikoff
I don't remember this, and I thought I'd seen all SNL shows. This is HILARIOUS! I'm so glad it came on. I miss this guy.
I always loved Don Rickles. Along with being hilarious he was also a fine actor. RIP Don.
Love how he just took over the show. He raised insults into an art form. What other comic could go on stage with little material and kill a room by insulting people? One of the all-timers.
unflinchable, unflappable, unstoppable.
Rickles.
One of the true greats. When I was a kid I would listen to my Dad's "Hello Dummy!" album when no one was home.
He slapped a kid, called him dumb. Definitely a different time.
Only comedian I've ever known to use the same politically incorrect jokes over and over and over again and not curse (refreshing!) and still have the crowd in tears. Amazing!
back in his day "politically incorrect" didn't exist....now that everyone is a victim in one way or another, he wouldn't have had a career. Hope people realize that this woke crap is ruining much of what binded us all together.
@@fishpimp8584 Do you really think it 'binded' us with all the people being made fun of? You sure must have a warped mind to think the people being made fun of were made to feel part of the group when they were the butt of jokes. Oh, nice try making it seem like people are just whining when they protest being made fun of.
@@normanacree1635 You are precisely what's wrong with society today. It's ok to laugh and not view every word as some type of personal affront. Relax and try to remember everyone isn't always a victim of hatred or prejudice. First of all, he wasn't insulting people out of malice or prejudice; rather, he simply tried to make people laugh and entertain folks by joking about EVERYBODYS stereotypes, imperfections, etc. Obviously, it was well received or he never would have lasted 7 decades or so. Do you think people who attended his shows weren't aware of his schtick? His nickname was the sultan of swat. He always ended his "routine" by saying how much he respected those he was joking about. He may not be your cup of tea, so don't watch. But give me a break with your woke BS. Must be tough going through life so serious. Finally, regarding your idiotic comment about having a warped mind, this country is far more divided today, in my opinion, than in his day due to all the cancel culture and woke nonsense.
I tell ya this, a true legend showcasing his improvisational genious.
best SNL momologue.
greatest roaster ever.
original and classic!
#respect.
I cried, I laughed..I replayed it..What a comedian :D
Love how Don turns the place into his own club, going right into the crowd. You'll never see the likes of this again!
I got to interview him on the phone once. As we wrapped up, he said, "Is there anything else you need?" I said, "Well, I'd love it if you would insult me and hang up on me." He said, "Bill Newcott, I'm sick of you. Don't ever call me gain." And "click!" Thirty seconds later the phone rang. It was Don. "Was that okay?" he asked sheepishly. "'Cause I really don't like to insult people and run away."
Bill Newcott 🤣🤣🤣. You were "blessed " by the Minister of Comedy. Thank for sharing.
That was awesome. What did you interview him for?
genius at work..insulted everyone with no cuss words. They don't make these people anymore. Dieing shame
What a rock star.
Forget Bill Burr, Rickles would've been hanged.
Only Rickles could get away with the mess that he had, even then. I had no idea that he had hosted SNL. Wish we could see a few sketches that he was in.
@@sandraandrews9907 He murders you but the way he does it really doesn't offend ya.
@@jpsnCoSprings he hates with love
@@tdoheron Way things are going it will be sooner. Morons have no clue, from life's pain these comedians create a vehicle that exposes the hypocrisy that creates that pain...which in turn denigrates the evils in society. Rickles was an American treasure,.
@@mwilliams1330 most good comedians have tragic backstories. From pain, loss, trauma, sadness is what we rise out of and triumph over so we can be strong or funny or better. Making everything sanitary and pc and non offensive is creating weakness.
Do I miss Don Rickles!! The funny man of all time! He went after everyone and did a job on everyone..We need more of this humor right now. Love you Don..
6:00 -Hey, it's Brandon Tartikoff in the front row audience....ex-NBC prez 1980-1991 who died of cancer in '97. You can thank him for having Seinfeld exist.
Remember what the italians says in world war II: "RUN!"
Gold!!
this could never be done in this age , ask bill burr who was amazing this past Saturday. don rickles legend
You know, I kid people I love.....alot, and simplyt remain silent if I don't. I think Don is the exact same way.
HUMOR. Laughing at each other. Gone.
I actually remember watching this exact episode. I was only 17 years old but this monologue made me laugh so hard I never forgot it - especially him tearing up the lady with the new wave styled “broom hair”. This is pure gold.
So glad he didn't have to struggle with his craft in the current cultural climate. When it comes to "roast" type comedy, he's the GOAT.
He is one of my all time favorites!!!!
That energy and relation with audience.. love this guy
If I went up on stage this Saturday and did this routine on SNL, my career would be over on Sunday. Good times they truly were. RIP Mr. Rickles.
This man is a legend!!!
This is was absolutly one of the best standup 10 minutes of ALL TIME. Thank you so much for sharing!!! Gencosays
OUTSTANDING! Rickles energy is contagious
Hard to get mad when every type of person in the audience is getting insulted. It's a bonding experience
9:15 That's the most lovable hate face you'll ever see. One of the greatest comedians ever.
he is a greatest ever.
greetings from finland .
he shuold come to finland.
Jan Bergman lol
he ded.
" 'The' Greatest "
Don Rickles really should have prefaced every monologue with "I am an equal opportunity insulter. If you haven't been insulted by things I've said in the past or will say tonight, please be patient, I will get to you eventually" 😉
I disagree. he didn't have to. it was obvious to anyone with a brain (which describes so few people now...)
@@joe-vz6hx - then it would appear that your comment answers itself 😊
There is nobody like Don Rickles. He made fun of himself. He made us laugh . He is truely missed.
Rodney Dangerfield roasted himself too.
Ain’t it the truth, ain’t it the truth. Seinfeld has him on his Mt. Rushmore of comedy. 🙌
Don Rickles. Wow! Just an astounding act he developed. No one like him then, now or likely to come. Absolutely astounding to watch Don on these old you tube videos. How hard can someone laugh for crying out loud? It can be painful listening to Rickles rip all or any ethnic origin. It is so outrageous you simply cannot be offended because it is so outlandish as to not be believed. Completely out of the box. Don balanced out this outrageousness with piercing love and kindness which also was so unusual. The man was an absolute gift to all those generations who were fortunate to see and hear his singular brand of humour. That being said, I never cared for the man.
Kidding. LOL.
2:34 "What are you? a Bird?"
God Bless Don Rickles
Lmao. He had no joke for the swedish guy. Makes a crack about too many holes in the cheese like he's swiss.
A good rip on him in its own right
that was hilarious, even a bigger insult because it meant so little to rickles.
I was so lucky to have grown up watching Don Rickles and later Rodney Dangerfield. Today, who is there ?
Didn't remember he did SNL . Can't do comedy like this today
@Hello Robert how are you doing
Rickles never fails to entertain, perform and impress me with his love and disdain for everybody. I love him like an uncle.
absolutely hilarious! I wish I would have gotten to see him live
The best that ever lived.
This is real new york vibe
“I make jokes about black people because I’m not one” 😂😂😂 only person who can make that kind of joke funny to everyone
This is when Saturday Night Live was awesome.
"I'm a cook. I ain't doing shit."
Don outlasted them all . All of his contemporaries were long dead …Sinatra , Martin, Davis , Berle , Youngman , Dangerfield… et al … Rip Don ..
Back when nobody gives a s*** about political correctness. Nowadays people get offended about anything and everything.
he means well
Yes. You couldn't get away with this now. You would be howled down for racism.
@@cyounger5716 agreed, he was and still would be untouchable. He was smart enough to never apologise.
Normally people who aren't on receiving end are saying this.
Steam Gamer629
No. Fuck you. Don Rickles could rise from his grave tomorrow, call the pope a Putz and make everyone laugh. Don Rickles was good at comedy, people just have more they want to ignore now,
It's amazing how much of this monologue I remember, having seen it only the one time 40 years ago.
The classiest roaster with the greatest timing of all time
You Tube: Post Rickles doing the news from this episode, it's hilarious!
That blonde kid is about 50 years old now.. Getting to be a part of Rickles act must be a memorable part of his life
He walked into traffic right after the show.
At the time, he looked a little confused by it all, and I can't blame him if he was.
"Sorry Rodney there's not enough room."
Rodney: what am I chopped liver? I tell ya, I get no respect. No respect!
Same as it ever was!
Less than ten years but if you tune in to SNL now it seems like a hundred years ago...
@Hello Mark how are you doing
