I watched a biography on Mr Brooks , the man never drank a drop , he was imitating his father who I’m guessing was a drinker and somewhat abusive , but Mr Brooks took those experiences including the lemons life handed him and made lemonade from them .. he was an extremely talented comedian and as a kid watching him on tv as my parents loved anything Dean Martin, I waited in anticipation for Mr Brooks to do his skit , it was never a dull moment.. Everyone us who ever saw him in person should consider ourselves blessed to be in the same room with a comedic genius like Mr Brooks ..
Foster Brooks did drink at one point in his younger years. He himself said that he stopped drinking cold turkey in 1960 when a friend bet him $10 to stop. Brooks said he did it because he needed the money.
He did his first drunk act on Johnny Carson at 59, and that's when he was discovered. He fooled everyone in the audience, the television audience was in awe that Johnny would have a drunk on his show. Offers just poured into Foster to do appearances everywhere, what delightful humor, still funny today!
Sitting here with a raging gout attack in my left ankle, left big toe, and my let Patella Tendon. I have been on a Foster Brooks marathon and am laughing so hard that I don't even feel the pain right now!
The Roast of Don Rick Rickles by Foster Brooks is one of the funniest things I've seen in all my 55 years. I remember watching it as a kid with my grandparents. We laughed all through it, and I was a fan of Foster from then to today, and I always will be.
This is a list of the best comics ever, too bad modern day comediens think it's funny to use foul language & delve into politics in a cruel way. Bring back the GOOD OLD DAYS.

An those are not laugh tracts. Didn't need the fake ones. They were truly funny back then. People are saying "why can't we have comics like that now." We can't. People would get their feelings hurt now. There would be riots. Lord I miss the old days. When we could laugh at ourselves. The comics were not being mean and degrading. And not every other word was cuss words.
Ironic, no? Foster Brooks _pretended_ to be drunk, while Dean really was! (OK, I don't know that for a fact -- Dean may very well have been putting on an act as well. I know that that "pleasantly tipsy" persona was part of Dean's shtick. But if that's what Dean was doing, he certainly was playing it up that night!)
fister was ply imitating a drunk during roo-roo-routine he was soo-soo-sober and you can tell by his slo-sloo-slooo slow speaking that dean martin was always drunk at these roasts. I can see lots of greats on the dais, Orson Welles, Rich Little, LaWanda Page, Jimmie Walker.

At 73 I am enjoying Fosty Brooks all over again. He's a genius. I'm still laughing. 😂
74. Hi.
I'm also 73 and Foster Brooks was always my favorite drunk!
Now this is comedy not the filth we hear today Foster was a Master

He was on the Steve Allen Show before Johnny Carson
@@greghamilton1638 : Yeah, the Steve Allen show was Brooks's first appearance, and the other guests on the show really did think he was drunk!
Does anyone know what year he died and the cause
@@adolphnichols2341
He died Dec. 20, 2001 at his home in Encino CA at 89, heart failure.

Foster Brooks is the BEST drunk comedian I ever heard!
I’m on a Foster Brooks marathon.....genius
Sitting here with a raging gout attack in my left ankle, left big toe, and my let Patella Tendon. I have been on a Foster Brooks marathon and am laughing so hard that I don't even feel the pain right now!
Foster Brooks and Don Rickles were the absolute best at these roasts! Thanks to Dean Martin for putting these great shows together!!
Vincent Price was great roasting Bette Davis. But of course, he wasn't a regular.
Yes. Thank you Dean and RIP.

I agree - you're spot on - this was humor at it's best...
If there's a funnier man than this I haven't met or seen him yet...genius simple as...
Best drunk I ever witnessed..funnest
Jeez… all the folks there were the comedians and comedic actors I grew up on… I’m just now realizing how much of an influence they had on me
And I’m not funny at all, so… 😬
Imagine being trapped in an elevator with Foster Brooks and Rodney Dangerfield.
Yes, go on?
I would Love that!!!
Had that happen to me I would have died and gone to heaven a happy man !!

Wouldn't make it out upright...
A true genius.
Foster brooks was a legend, I watch him every time I need a laugh

Dean is as drunk as Brooks pretends to be drunk.

As Usual Foster Brooks is a riot>
Foster Brooks best roasts are Mohammed Ali and Johnny Carson. I am still LMAO.
i'd go don rickles and sammy davis jr (sandy duncan jr)
Gotta agree @B Smith, his Rickles roast was lol and when he said hello slammy ,it wrecked me
... and Don Rickles🤣🤣
And Hubert Humphrey!🤣
And Lucille Ball!
All of these are awesome!
Sounds like Dean had some of what Foster was having...
+alworkedup His daughter once said in an interview that the first 4 glasses of martini on his show was apple cider and after those he let it rip!
Foster never drank
Dean never drank. It was all an act. He had apple
Juice but everyone thought it was
Whisky.
Abe Vigoda was alive?!?

Dean was toasted!

That was an act too
Does anyone know why Foster most always wears a whistle? He is wearing one in several of these videos.
Derek Walker: yes I do
So the man asks a question about a whistle because he's seen it several videos and he gets called an asshole for asking?
it s. contagious
Somebody give him a drink!!!!

I think Fosters middle name was Belly Laugh🤣 Brilliant comedian (like Charlie Callas🤣)
