The only comedian in the world who did not have to say a word to kill the audience , walking on the stage was enough then you hear the roar of laughter , amazing .
As much as I am a great admirer of Foster Brooks, your statement is not quite true. Another comedian, Tommy Cooper, could also walk on stage, not say a word and still have the crowd in fits of laughter...too. Foster Brooks, however, had a unique talent of wordplay as a drunk, coupled with mannerisms and glances that was so, so funny, that even the great Don Rickles would laugh out loud. Now THAT is a special talent when you can reduce other ‘roasters’ to tears.
@@pumpkinpuna4087 I don't even watch the 46th anymore. It is too sad. It is too sad that he was ever elected and it is too sad that there are people who still support him even though he is obviously not in his right mind when you watch his press conferences.
This is Foster Brooks absolute best comedy bit he ever did! Very classy, especially as he danced with subtle double entendres. You can tell Lucy genuinely loved it.
I did then and I still do now, not a cuss word in the skit, the one and only Foster Brooks and like all the rest that didn't have to curse to be hilarious and then the 80's showed up and it's been down hill ever since.
Dad used to let me stay up late when these roasts were on, just so I could watch Foster Brooks. Dad and I watched together, laughed together, and then laughed again. RIP Mr. Brooks, one of the funniest, classiest entertainers there ever was.
Yeah I watched these with my dad too. He loved Foster Brooks. I show him these clips occasionally when I'm home to Ohio to visit him and when he was in Texas a few months last year. I crack up at all of them but especially this and the Sammy Davis and Don Rickles roasts. And it's funny how so many of these comedians were from Ohio-Dean Martin, Phyllis Diller, Jonathan Winters, Paul Lynde, Bob Hope(born in England, raised in Cleveland) And they were funny without feeling they had to cuss.
Love this man. He’s just hilarious. The “loose” joke cracks me up every time I watch this clip. Living in the uk I never got to see these so thanks for posting. I think I’ve watched every one of Foster can’t get enough. Also his skits on the dean Martin shows are pure class. A by gone era of classic comedy tv. Just watch and enjoy. Should be prescribed on the national health for all.
Yeah...we(the USA) didn't get Benny Hill until after the fact either. Class comedians, and pure genius. If it wasn't Flosser...er, Frosted...er, Frisbee...er, Mr. Brooks killing them, it was Don Pickles...er, Rickles!
Totally agree with you - esp the roasts of Don Rickles and Lucille Ball - he broke character for a second when he looked at Lucy or heard her laugh - just a second, but first time ever that he did that. I ❤ Foster Brooks.
The way Dean receives Foster Brooks when he 'stumbles' to the mic shows they had a great friendship and true admiration for each other, Dean knew this guy was going to put him and everyone else in the dais in stitches and Brooks always delivered, never dissapointed. He was so talented and funny !!! And when he finished his 1-derful act he abandoned his character and turned into the gentleman he undoubtedly was in real life, hugging the honoree with sincere affection, this time he gallantly and respectfully kissed Ms Lucy's hand.
By all accounts, Foster was an extremely kind and humble gentleman, even after becoming famous. On Johnny Carson, he talked with fondness about going back to visit his old friends in Louisville, and the fact he was still the same person.
I just struck gold falling upon this. I was born in 1962 so did not have the opportunity to appreciate this to the degree I can now. Love it! And what a difference in definition of "mega star" between then and now. Now, not even close to the grace, style and class this generation had. God bless them all.
Foster Brooks in real life never drank. True. He was brilliant. Miss those roasts. Hollywood greats in their heyday. God ... please send me back in time.
Yep. But when he quit, it was permanently. Gotta give him Respect for that! He learned his "Lovable Lush" routine from his Father--who was exactly that.
He must be classed with the greatest comedians ever. His timing was perfect, and he played the 'drunk' as only one who had been there and beat the demon could. Fantastic
I love how he goes through all of that opening stuff before saying, "Hello, Lucille Ball!" and actually starting his speech. Just hilarious, and arguably the best performer there ever was at playing a comedic drunk.
So true! Could you imagine some of these guys just starting out today with their comedy?? The “woke” crowd would be going crazy calling for them to be removed from tv.
@Wookie8058 he used to drink. A friend bet him 10 dollars to never drink again. The person who never drank was Otis the town drunk on the Andy Griffith show.
When I was a kid, my folks would watch those roasts, but I would play in my room until Foster Brooks came on. That was my favorite part of the show. Miss those days.
"I still have the hots for ya, Cherry Head" Sweetest line EVER! The only man I know that can reduce the likes of Don Rickles to tears, let alone everyone on that dais. Impeccable talent.
One of the few times that you see Foster Brooks laugh and break character. If I could only go back in time and witness just one of these first hand. To be in the presence of pure comedy and acting.
I seriously don't know how Foster was able to regain control so fast!!!! Absolutely HYSTERICAL!!! I would watch these with my dad, and he would absolutely fall apart in absolute HYSTERIA!!! We would both be laughing so hard... almost sobbing uncontrollably!!!! What a truly amazing feeling!!!
Look how much time has passed. When Dean introduced Foster he said meet the man who has been Lucy's fiance since 1933. So Foster Brooks and Lucy have been engaged to be married for 90 years, and they're still not married today.
Used to watch these Dean Martin Roasts on Thursday nights at 10.00 on a school night. A bygone era of comedy before the cancel culture got a hold of it. And we'll never see it again. Thanks for uploading and letting us reminisce.
This is my favorite roast from Foster to Lucy. Quick, clean one liners that leaves them rollin'. I can't help but to smile from ear to ear watching this...
Yes guys like Don Rickles and Foster Brooks would never be able to say the kinds of things they did if just starting out in today’s “woke” generation!!
I've just watched four of these. Roasts of Sammy Davis Jr, Johnny Carson etc and what really stood out the most, not once did he swear. Not once. And it was funnier for it.
Of the many countless hysterical roasts he concocted, this one was perhaps his funniest, along with Sinatra's... He was just simply brilliant, with his drunken sway of mispronunciations and heartburn hiccups...Never had to curse at or directly insult anyone to roast 'em well-done, and he often got the dais and the crowd laughing before he ever spoke! My generation were blessed to have had the best music ever, the best entertainment variety ever, and the best comedians ever...Thanks, FB 💝
I have watched Foster Brooks roasts over and over. At least 20-30times for each roast. My fave has to be Sammy Davis Jr. But when I'm down and I want a good laugh I turn to Foster Brooks. Alot of great comedians out there but he is a classic and a original. Wish he was still here today. He was the best (my opinion only). Thank you Mr Brooks for the laughs!
If FB was here TODAY (2022), he’d be cancelled in seconds: that “cocoon” joke would’ve had FB crucified on social media, and his career would be OVER……
My favorite part of the Roast of Lucille Ball was that Desi Arnez was invited, but didn't show. He sent a letter that was pure poetry in his place, read during the event, more or less stating that would have to lie to stand up in front of a crowd and say bad things about her, and that he would "always love Lucy."
Pure genius! Foster Brooks has me in tears! Can’t stop laughing!!! I’m a 90s baby who loves watching the greats! Wish I could time travel to attend one of these roasts. I’ve been watching them back to back for days now on Tubi 🤩
I grew up watching this with my grandpa ... the best comedy around .. real comedy ... today's comedians can learn from watching these videos on how to make people really laugh and have a good time .. not that today's comedy is bad .. it's just not the same kind of laughter ... thank you for the awesome videos and memories ...
Hilarious comedy at its best. The present day comics don’t hold a candle to those of that era. Polished, professional & perfect timing. I feel SO lucky to have been brought up in those years. I miss those days. It’s just not the same anymore.
I'm so pleased you have posted these comedy great clips. I live in the UK and we didn't get Dean's Show. But I'm so grateful I've some now. Foster Brooks was hilarious. I miss hi. Thank you
Alan Chapman When I was a kid some time before I started school I used to watch Saturday morning cartoons and Saturday night British comedies. It's getting on my nerves how my local PBS station (channel 13, of course) is no longer airing Doctor Who. It seems everything good is folding up and being replaced by stuff that only strokes the egos of whoever made it.
@@williamnorton9547 Me too!! In the 70's - 80's I watched with my Dad, "Dave Allen at Large", "Benny Hill", "The Paul Hogan show". Then around '85 Mtv started showing "The Young Ones" and I was hooked!! I've watched those 12 episodes so many times, I can almost quote every episode, line for line.
What a guy so funny I'm looking at moments of foster Brooks and cant stop laughing such a talent. It's a shame comedy has lost such great people and I am so grateful for these videos cheers 👍👍👍
"...Lassie..I mean Lucy..." - "...how 'bout you Loose?...That's what the football team used to call her...." - "...I still got the hots for you Cherry head..." - phucking hilarious. Foster is the man with his shtick!
It's no wonder no one wanted to follow Foster Brooks.... "Remember, Lucy, you shook your pom-poms at me? And she wasn't even a cheerleader!" He always went last. Then came the Revenge Roast. Such TALENT on that stage! FAR BETTER than we have today. R.I.P. to all we have lost along the way. THANK YOU for the Laugh's. You are still Loved & Missed. God Bless.
Brooks and Don Rickles made the show “work.” Sometimes these were specials, but one year it was a weekly replacement series for the summer (this particular roast was one of those summer episodes).
Yes, there's no way that he could perform that act precisely if he really was drunk. The fact that some people think he really was drunk shows how brilliant he was at doing it.
Man what show.and dean and foster Brooks and who ever they were ribbing just good wholesome comedy. What iconic show.miss u dean and foster and all super guestmpure clean comedy.long lost.
I always thought Dean should have introduced Foster as the man who invented Vitameatavegamin. That would have really had them rolling on the floor..lol
@@netokendal4065 abuse it? I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps you are not aware of how aggressive some of these jokes were from Don Rickles Sammy Davis Jr and Redd Fox could be. Today we have people like Will Smith who will walk up to you and slap you. On another video I just watched were Don Rickles was roasting Frank Sinatra Don Rickles total joke about Frank Sinatra's wife and Frank Sinatra and his wife just both laughed. Unlike Will Smith walking up to Chris Rock and smacking him. Listen to what Don Rickles said in the video where they were roasting Frank Sinatra. Listen to what Don Rickles said to Flip Wilson. That would never be allowed on the air today. Back then people could take a joke and we're normal. Today we pu,@&ies
These were broadcast on net work TV so they couldn't be vulgar. If you'd seen many of these comedians performing live then you'd hear some very blue language.
The only comedian in the world

He's sooooo addictive!
Agreed, more than genius!

Glad they haven’t knocked down Circus Circus. Historic place
"She shook her pompoms at me...And She WASN'T even a cheerleader!!!"

He's my favorite also
@@randymillhouse791 His scripts were much more limited and likely weren't even his own.
Love these legends. Pray they all laughing together again

True. Don Rickles was ruthless. To see him laugh uncontrollably in these roasts is pure joy.
This is Foster Brooks absolute best comedy bit he ever did! Very classy, especially as he danced with subtle double entendres. You can tell Lucy genuinely loved it.
This was awesome

Get over yourself. Nothing wrong with cursing. This super dirty back then and they cussed like sailors
You got to see the one where they roast Don Wrickles.
"I'll bet you didn't expect to see me here tonight did you big red?" Lol.

In my opinion, the Best comedy bit Foster Brooks did for any of the Roasts.
Humor with CLASS. When one could still laugh at themselves while bowling over in laughter. Please please bring back that era. 😎
They might have to drop the 'coon' joke. Lol

R.I.P. to all we have lost along the way. THANK YOU for the Laugh's. You are still Loved & Missed. God Bless.
I'll never forget the first time I scored .... TOUCHDOWN!! LOLOLOLOL!!!
When he says that he's in character pointing out that he meant touchdowns and everyone else is dirty for thinking otherwise.
I never watched foster brooks until you posted these. I was too little when these were on TV. Thank you.. What a talent!!
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Brooks and Don Rickles made the show “work.” Sometimes these were specials, but one year it was a weekly replacement series for the summer (this particular roast was one of those summer episodes).
Mr. Brooks' facial expressions are absolutely fitting and hilarious.
Brooks was amazing...plastered was his comedy image....but he was stone cold sober the whole time.
Yes, there's no way that he could perform that act precisely if he really was drunk. The fact that some people think he really was drunk shows how brilliant he was at doing it.
@@dirklerxstpratt2112 yes Indeed
What I love is how he gets into character, he stands, he takes two steps and CLICK, He's on!! Was BRILLIANT to watch this genius work!
@@Wookie8058 Indeed Wookie
Repeating myself ad nauseum, Foster Brooks brings down the house whenever he breaks out his schtick.
Man what show.and dean and foster Brooks and who ever they were ribbing just good wholesome comedy. What iconic show.miss u dean and foster and all super guestmpure clean comedy.long lost.
I always thought Dean should have introduced Foster as the man who invented Vitameatavegamin. That would have really had them rolling on the floor..lol
Can you imagine Foster even TRYING to say Vitameatavegamin? The hotel would have collapsed!!
Funny
@@rickwilliamson9248 LOL!!!
I have watched this so many times I've lost count, it is brilliant.

+gina cable Thank you for the comment.

How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Just watched this in August 2021 . Great humour all taken in good heart . God bless America from the UK 🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸👍
Lucy’s expression when he calls her “Cherry Head” she seems both surprised and flattered.
"right from the beginning, Lassie, er Lucy!" Lol
This is before everyone was offended by everything. No political correctness and people could take a joke
The crack at Nipsey Russell was hilarious....
Yeah before they started to abuse it ..
@@netokendal4065 abuse it? I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps you are not aware of how aggressive some of these jokes were from Don Rickles Sammy Davis Jr and Redd Fox could be. Today we have people like Will Smith who will walk up to you and slap you. On another video I just watched were Don Rickles was roasting Frank Sinatra Don Rickles total joke about Frank Sinatra's wife and Frank Sinatra and his wife just both laughed. Unlike Will Smith walking up to Chris Rock and smacking him. Listen to what Don Rickles said in the video where they were roasting Frank Sinatra. Listen to what Don Rickles said to Flip Wilson. That would never be allowed on the air today. Back then people could take a joke and we're normal. Today we pu,@&ies
Man I miss those days,
Amen
Isn't that right Loose? That's what the football team use to call her.
Oh god I'm dying...
Didn't realize he said that, makes it even funnier, thanks for picking up on that!
@@happydays8171 xccc. Sqcso c
This guy was absolutely hilarious too bad he's gone
Absolutely hilarious too bad he's gone
That had me busy out laughing!
OH the memories!! thank you so much for sharing!!
Thanks for viewing and the comment.
I still remember watching these with my Dad, you could laugh back then with out fear of being cancelled.
I COULD CRY HOW I MISS THESE TRUE COMEDIANS
It's amazing they all had their distinct persona they never get old !
Foster Brooks is one hell of a comedian and impressionist... i remember when i was a boy my father will roll out laughing by just watching his act😁🤣🤣😊
There will never be another Foster...so talented and funny! xo
He calls her "Lassie" and then calls her "Loose" very clever use of her name for jokes! Also a excellent physical comedian
Back when you did not have to be vulgar to be funny this guy was the best
These were broadcast on net work TV so they couldn't be vulgar. If you'd seen many of these comedians performing live then you'd hear some very blue language.
Look up the Friars Club Roast of Red Buttons and get back to me.
'Back when you did not have to be vulgar to be funny'.. did you miss all his vulgar word play jokes?
@@petesmitt His word play requires some intelligence to understand and clearly boobie, I mean robert, doesn't have it.
