I think i doubled ye on watching. He really was a genius. I do wonder if perhaps he was a tee total. You have to be straight to get the Drunk manorisums just right!
That hockeypock line had me on the floor laughing like I haven't done in years. From the mispronunciation, to the stammering, trying to remember, then asking Dean, the dazed and confused look, etc. EVERYTHING was as perfect as it gets. And to see the titans of comedy on stage with him rolling in the aisles with laughter, no one compares with Mr. Brooks.......On a personal note, my dad loved Foster Brooks. I would watch these with him in the 1970's when I was a kid and we just laughed out heads off. My dad passed away in 2011 and I miss him dearly. Great memories of my dad watching this. Thanks so much for posting!
Me too it’s 2022 and I’m still. Laughing and no dirty words like mother this and f that I’m 65 years old and I grew on these talented men , boy I sure do miss all of them.
Thanks Mr. Hardin for posting. What always amazes me was how Foster could turn it on and off. Notice how he's completely sober walking up, shaking Dean's hand, then he puts both hands on the podium, takes a deep breath and goes into his routine. After he's done shakes the hand of the roastee, and walks soberly back to his seat. What a genius!
To see so many other professional comedians Desperately trying to keep a straight face while Foster is doing his thing still has me wiping away tears of laughter.
OMG....how can you not love this man....the best comedian aver. RIP Foster. Comedy will never be the same and you made people forget all their problems if not for only 5 minutes at a time your memories in my mind will live forever
I so much loved this man..just go home and stay off the streets to see the show with my mother..so wonderful to sit and laugh with her.😂God bless foster thank you for the good times
Comedy at its finest with no racism four letter words which proves you don't have to be crude to be funny. You will be sorely missed mr. Brooks. Thanks for the laughs and he's a great singer too
That’s such a trip that I had a really rough day (and really rough year) and I stumble upon this video and see your comment . I’m 59 years old and struggling but that gives me hope I can still make it !
Yeah, I just learned that a few days ago, that he was almost 60 years old when he started his career in showbiz; amazing! Very inspiring to me, a person who used to do comedic acting and theater many, many years ago, and now thinking about getting back into it.. I'm almost 56 👍
+John W Hardin thank you for putting these happy memories back on. I love these roasts so many wonderful entertainers. laughter through tears, so funny but so sad theyve gone. xx
That poppycock line is a comedic tour de force of timing. From the set up to the garbled delivery, to the confused facial expressions. Leaning into Dean and the final punchline for me it's the greatest joke in terms of technique ever.
There's no way I could agree more. Just off-of-the-charts genius on all levels. I physically couldn't breathe through that whole "hockypoc" bit, LOL!. No words. Just awesome!
Watch and learn, kids. Watch a master's master at work, at the very top of his craft. There will never, ever be anybody even remotely close to this brilliant and astonishingly funny man.
Foster Brooks was the best. I have done Mr. Brooks several times at clubs and the family. What a great comedian, he was the best. The airline pilot with Dean Martin I will never forget.
My favorite roast is the one with Don Rickles as the subject roastee.. To hear Don's laugh when Foster is telling him about his wife is so infectious, was a riot. I had to share it with others. My favorite.
I can honestly say that Foster Brooks is the funniest comedic person ever on television. I laugh from start to finish. Mr. Brooks and Dean Martin play well off each other......two class acts filled with talent. There won't ever be another Dean Martin, with the coolest style, charisma, good looks , and a PHENOMENAL VOICE that won't ever be seen again.Kinda sad...but thank GOD we have TH-cam and CD's.
Foster Brooks, Don Rickles, Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Groucho Marx. If Olympus was a comedy club, these guys would be the gods of comedy. These kids nowadays aren't worthy to touch the shoes of those legends.
I remember my dad just killing himself laughing his head off. Being like 6 years old, I didn’t realize what being drunk was but just watching my dad laugh made me laugh.
Yeltsin 68 Same here, my dad lost it when Foster came on. I was like 8 at the time, but to see my dad's face turning bright red, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe or even make any noise at all for a few seconds because he was laughing that hard was priceless!!
He had such presence! A long time AM radio deejay, Foster Brooks didn't hit it big with his 'Luvable Lush' act until his 50s! Everyone of these I have seen you can tell Dean Martin really LOVED the guy and his humor!

I loved Foster Brooks. His timing was impeccable. He was hilarious and is greatly missed by many.
I think foster brook,s is brillant and a good human being anyone who thinks different is a putz also has a rectacranialinversion means you got your head stuck up your ass!!!!!!!!!
I'm 57, and Foster always brought me to tears from laughing with his delivery, but the one thing that always sold it was his shaking and wobbling, as if he needed to hold on to the podium to stop from falling.
David Henderson ; Watch him roast Don Rickles!!! That's one of the funniest roast's EVER!!!! I have a bad day at work? I watch Foster, & it's gone! Comedy Genius!!!
Boster Frooks funny? Cockypock! I love watching professional comedians laughing hard at Foster Brooks' perfect delivery. No profanity, just plain funny. Ruth busted up laughing...
Well, not during his performances anyway. He had struggled with alcoholism and had been a drinker in the past but gave it up and used his recall to make "lemonade" from his experience.
He drank in his early years, on the weekends ONLY. He quit cold Turkey back in the 60's on a $10 bet because he needed the money. He quit smoking too. He was never an alcoholic and he didn't struggle with quitting, it was actually very easy for him. His act came from a character his dad, my great Grandfather, Pleasant Brooks would do sometimes for the family in the evenings.
I crack up laughing nonstop watching foster brooks doing his act of a drunk the man was the cream of the crop on the dean Martin roast Noone would even come close to Blast the audience with laughter
I remember watching this as a child, I was laughing then and now! These guys, especially Foster Brooks, were funny as hell. NO WOKENESS going on there and they were just fookin' brilliant!
Foster was hilarious! He wrote all his own lines! Everyone of them was funny, but you where guaranteed to always get one that made guest and audience and you laugh out loud!
Your aunt said what? or... Oh really? Gee Dan must have been a brilliant writer! This delivery was so perfect and outrageously funny, I break up every time I watch it. Somebody please... Help me. Can't stop watching Foster.
I saw an interview where Foster said his inspiration for the character was a male relative (uncle or granddad I think) who was drunk, but tried hard to act NOT drunk.
2:08 Ruth Buzzi fell out of her chair; then she tried SO hard to get back into character, but she couldn't do it! LOL! THIS is why Foster Brooks always came last. NO ONE could follow this!
Nobody's been able to play a drunk better than this man he is hilarious.
Love how he can make everyone laugh.
No bad language.
Just real comedy.
Foster Brooks is the one responsible for the laugh lines in my face, he is incomparable. 💯
It's 2022 and I'm laughing at a routine from the 1970s. That says alot about Foster Brooks and his comedy. Excellent.
Today this would be seen as offensive but it's comedy and fun at it's best. Wonderful personalities 😅😅
2024 - Yep! Laughing! 😂
Guy wrote all his own material and hadnt had a drink since 1960. A master.
I've probably watched this roast 50 times over the last week, and it just doesn't get old. His mannerisms are so perfect. Comic timing at its best
I think i doubled ye on watching. He really was a genius. I do wonder if perhaps he was a tee total. You have to be straight to get the Drunk manorisums just right!
And I'm re-rewatching this again (and again)
Try watching it high...

Nothing like this man
I'm glad you have those memories.
Love your story about your Dad!!
I too share this with my father. Thank you for sharing that.
Time with a real father is more precious than gold, is normally a role model goal and hopefully repeated with offspring. It was for me.
Great comedy never dies. We must preserve these precious moments in time.
Me too it’s 2022 and I’m still. Laughing and no dirty words like mother this and f that I’m 65 years old and I grew on these talented men , boy I sure do miss all of them.

That priceless, maniacal glare he'd look down on whoever was seated next to him with...
Hilarious 🤣..they don,t write scripts like this anymore ,that man was a genius in his own way. Thank you for all the laughs & memories Foster Brooks
Dean Martin loved Foster Brooks, God Bless them both
Foster Brooks. We will never see a talent like this again.
Didn't even drink lol. So funny
I love these people! Foster Brooks needs to be played everywhere! people would be laughing so hard that they couldn't fight or get mad about nothing!
I have watched this multiple times and I laugh every time. Foster plays the part to perfection.
No one could top Foster Brooks. He was one of a kind. Hilarious 😂

onebigpine ... Watching Dean trying to laugh was the best. Dean laughing always set me off laughing out of control.
Dean obviously loved Foster, always gave him a hug at the end of his set. Classic.
You are watching a master of his craft at work..RIP Mr Brooks
Agree with you.
Me too! I agree he is a MASTER! I haven't seen anyone yet who can do such a good job!!
For sure , a Master of his craft , I agree

There's just something about seeing Dick Martin enjoying a good belly laugh that does my heart well.
Brilliant. This guy makes my eyes run with laughter. Like Tommy Cooper, he is unique. There will never be another like him. Outstanding comedy.
Foster Brooks anchored that all star line of talent from show to show. Love him and everyone's reaction. Priceless
Absolutely the funniest guy in this show , just couldn't stop laughing .
Particularly when he roasted Don Rickles, that was hysterical 🤣
What a genuine genius Foster Brooks was. Will never ever be replaced.RIP Foster "true comedian " Brooks, genius genius genius.
We have always loved watching Foster Brooks on TV in all the Roasts he has done. No one can do the act he does. He plays a perfect drunk man talking.
OMG....how can you not love this man....the best comedian aver. RIP Foster. Comedy will never be the same and you made people forget all their problems if not for only 5 minutes at a time your memories in my mind will live forever
Mr. Brooks killed EVERY time on the Roasts! Love him!!
This show was the best roast show on this planet.
All over this years every superstar gets his roast.
Absolutely the best show ever.

I'm drunk from laughter
Foster Brooks was the best !!!
For those who feel like life has passed them by, Foster Brooks didn't experience his "big break" until he was nearly 60 years old!

Foster Brooks is a comedic genius that I just discovered by accident. I'm glad I did.
I think that is what is known as an overnight success.
Foster Brooks brings me to tears every time!
I feel physically ill because I have laughed so much. Modern comedians just don't measure up. True genius. Just off to get my inhaler!
Pure Genius, comedy gold, he was a legend and so far ahead of the rest.
Love it.there will never be another Foster Brooks.thanks for posting.

Totally agree. Comedic timing at the pinnacle of perfection.
That guy was a comedic genius. Every time I hear him I bust up laughing. What a talent that guy was
Foster Brooks was one of the funniest comedians ever.He drove by my house in LA once in a big 70s Pontiac Bonneville convertible.😄😆😅
Watch and learn, kids. Watch a master's master at work, at the very top of his craft. There will never, ever be anybody even remotely close to this brilliant and astonishingly funny man.
brilliant comedy. with absolutely no bulgarity.

For him to be able to have all the other comedians to lose it, goes to show you how good this man was.

Ronald Mozolic Imagine Foster Brooks attempting to say what you just said....it would be hillarious.
I bet it was some wino
Comedians of the modern era have given thumbs down, out of jealousy.
Brooks didn't become well known until his late 50's. Surprising for someone so talented
His comedic timing was perfect.

What I find most fascinating about Foster Brooks is that he actually didn't drink at all.
Well, not during his performances anyway. He had struggled with alcoholism and had been a drinker in the past but gave it up and used his recall to make "lemonade" from his experience.
He also had a beautiful singing voice.
Nor did Dean Martin. All an act.
That’s true.
