I met Don Rickles a few years ago at the old Riviera in Las Vegas. I extended my hand, and said, "Mr. Rickles, it's an honor to meet you, Sir. I grew up enjoying your work." He shook my hand, looked me straight in the eye, and said: "Kid (mind you, I was in my 30s at this point), you're too darn young to know who I am! Who put you up to this? Your grandmother?" He grinned and I laughed hard.
I find all of these old school roasts so absolutely amazing. They are so incredibly funny with no swearing or vulgarity. They were all so talented. Thanks to all of them for so many laughs over and over again.
On our local network, "decades" they play Dean Martin's roast of actors and Actresses. Whomever it might be. it's just wonderful! Comedy that brings me to tears, and there's also tears of sadness that our society has come to this point where we can't even have fun anymore. WHAT HAPPENED!
Definitely a different class of humor you won’t find today. Of course today thanks to cancel culture and the woke crowd, you aren’t allowed to be remotely funny anymore
No one, absolutely no one, has made me laugh more than the great Don Rickles. Whenever I'm down mentally, I watch his roasts that comfort me more than anything could.
If Andrew Dice Clay would tone his act down a few notches, he could start to come on par with Rickles. Be he's just too abrasive and his style is brutal.

@@ericg4915 Or maybe Reagan was secure in himself, realised what roasting was all about and wasn't the least bit offended. Trump is too weak a character to even have the nerve to sit there in Reagan's place.
One of the many things that made Reagan one of the last great Presidents. Man had a good sense of humor. Won’t find politicians today take a joke, especially on the left.

As I was growing up, in the 50s, ALL of the greatest comics were Jewish. We lived in Brooklyn and had live "Your Shows of Shows" on our TV in 1950. Then, my parents told me about the Catskills' resorts. There were so many great Jewish comics who "cut their teeth" in the Catskills I cannot name them all. BUT, to me personally, the finest of all of them wasn't necessarily just a "stand-up" comic, but more of a writer. This guy could also act, too. If I ever saw his name in a Cast listing, I knew the movie would be good. That man is Carl Reiner! My wife and I watch my favorite comic movie, The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming, several times a year. And, I don't think he wrote any of it. He just played Whitaker Walt perfectly. Oh, Alan Arkin wasn't bad, either.

The great Don Rickles. My father loved Rickles. We would watch the Roasts in the 70's and laugh at Rickles until we couldn't breathe and our eyes watered. There is just something hilarious about someone saying exactly what they are not supposed to in public.

@@TheLocoUnion Not correct Rickles was joking about Reagan's age. This roast was in the early 70s; Reagan was already in his 60s then, and a full 14 or 15 years older than Rickles.
Rickles was firing on all cylinders here. And seeing Jack Benny lose it..... priceless. As sick as Jack was, I'd like to believe that his laughing like this took his pain away for a while and gave him more time.
Saw him live many many years ago, some guy had the nerve to heckle him. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! Don tore threw that guy for half an hour 'till he left. Best Ever!!!
The art of Don Rickles was that he was not a mean spirited person in real life at all. Just the opposite. And this characteristic actually was evident to his "targets" even when he delivered his "insults." As Rickles himself acknowledged, if he really felt hostility, it wouldn't be funny. Unfortunately, today's "hate school" of so-called "comics" completely miss this point, which is why they will never be as funny as Don Rickles was.
he has a way of being brutally critical without cussing.. that was classic Rickles. His jokes were so well crafted, his instincts so good, he didn’t need to cuss and frankly, after you watch it the first time, you actually think he must have cussed, but he didn’t. We miss you Don.
@@darylthomas7317 okay, but there is still nothing wrong with cussing. That's like a boxer beating his opponent with just one hand, it's impressive, but unnecessary.
Look up dinner with Don Rickles. He had intimate dinner/interviews with contemporary actors and comedians. Filmed just before he died......awesome stuff.
God knows how much I miss these men and women of this era...incredibly funny and clever, yet working clean too. They could hit the lowest shot,and the target would enjoy it the most of all. Don rickles was and is a legend of all time, thank you sir!
Love Don Rickles! I’m part of this young generation discovering him. First watched his videos August of 2020 and binged watched a lot of it from March-May this year 😂 Absolute legend!
Danny Tat...This roast was so funny, tears were in my eyes from laughing. I didn't even think about the lack of vulgarity, till you brought it up....you are right.
ANDY SERE You realize Hollywood has been a cesspool of rapists, pedophiles, and all around horrible people since its inception right? These people were never classy, or sweet. They just hid how awful they were because nobody spoke out against them.

When shit is falling apart and they're doing non work related stuff is when it's an issue. There's also public view to be taken into account. One could argue it is beneficial to his public perception. He did actually become president. Not a Reagan fan. Just call ketchup a vegetable so kids get more "produce" at school? Get real, the guy had some bad ideas and people at the time just didn't seem to care. Im not trying to rag on you, this just kind of came out stream of consciousness

I can remember so many people just waiting for the roasts. We waited if we could to go to the bathroom. These were great days of comedy. I still think they stand head and shoulders above the young performers. There is something special about comedy that springs from wit
I'm with you Lew.When i want to laugh my ass off i watch 1 of these roasts... It doesn't matter how many time i have see them,i laugh every time..........
This roast puts RR just two degrees of separation from a load of gangsters. You know, it was his changing of the tax code, and not 'Star Wars' which did in the Soviet system. All those Russian oligarchs needed access to western markets and a place to re-establish their power-base as they stole the assets of their own nation in their sham change-over to a democratic political system. Changing the tax code allowed them to create massive fortunes in a very short time in the US without facing the safe-guards established by Roosevelt to counter another capitalist crisis the likes of which plunged us into over a decade of economic depression. The Soviet oligarchs needed to hide the money out of country so no foreign service could launch a counter-coup exposing the theft and showing where domestic rivals might expose and retrieve the assets. You should read, Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer. The Soviets used Armand Hammer to smuggle funds out of Soviet Russia and into the west to fund covert operations. Armand Hammer met with high level mafia criminals engaged in bootlegging and helped them create laundering schemes to purchase legitimate entities. The Soviets had the goal of setting up a commercial contract for ammonium nitrate to bring their agricultural industry into the twentieth century--hoping to defeat the west by boosting their populations, through sheer strength of numbers. Armand Hammer was even known to have met with Meyer Lansky in Cuba. Meyer was the defacto head of the mafia while Lucky Luciano was in exile... because Meyer had organized a scheme whereby the various bosses could clean their dirty money through the purchase of legitimate businesses from a slush fund established in a Swiss bank account. The Italians wouldn't take orders from a Jew, unless that Jew was showing them how to make a fortune in legitimate dollars. When JFK was assassinated, MI6 had a book published under a phony name, which detailed a study they had compiled which came to the conclusion that the assassination could've been funded by a coalition of fifty investors. Further, Birobidzahn was an early Bolshevik experiment with a Jewish state. Jewish gangsters were given the incentive of working toward the establishment of a Jewish state. Something Andrei Gromyko takes no small credit for. As the Soviet ambassador to the UN, in recognizing the fledgling state, even as it was stealing the homes of Palestinians to accomplish this. But this roast is funny.
+bill smith "Dick....Dick...Move outta there !!!" Help me guys- sitting in an Argentinian resto having a churro, laughing & am now sharing this with two lovely ladies. In spite of all-life can be good if we concentrate on making good even better.
Don Rickles was a comic genius. His timing on his jokes is amazing. You could hear then-Governor Reagan laughing on his microphone so you know Don was really at the top of his game. He did not even apologize after he sat down because he offended someone.
the most sensitive person currently is the current President of the United States of America. So yeah, no one is going to be changing soon when the most powerful person in the country is the person that will be the most butthurt from criticism.
This was one of Don's best...he mostly let the others on the dais alone and focused on the guest of honor. What a great time Jack Benny was having, too!

These roasts were great because the roasters and roastees were actually stars, not 3rd rate hip hop garbage, mediocre actors or reality tv trash. Such a huge difference from today. Todays roasters have to result to vulgar jokes because they arent intelligent enough to think of anything else.
Well it also probably helped that back then saying those 7 dirty words was just not allowed, they would've gotten in serious trouble for even approaching them so it required them to work around it. That restriction isn't around so people can just go for the jugular which sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
Yes and he and Lasorda were personal friends. Actually this Show is from 1973 I believe and Lasorda was still the 3rd base coach for the Dodgers who were still managed by the great Walter Alston at the time. Dean also had many connections to the Dodger organization as well.
@Reece A I'm not. I mean people in general. Conservatives, post-modern liberals, libertarians, communists, and fascists are all offended by something. People is just a broad term. You prove my point. 😉

I am somewhat of a Don Rickles stan. I've seen ALL the roasts, I've seen every YT vid on the search queue. I watched the tribute show they did when it aired. He is, obviously, a genius. And this clip is IMHO the best 4 minutes he EVER did (that's been recorded... I have no doubt that he has had funnier Vegas sets that we'll never see). He had ONE slip of the lip.... ONE. He said "wocks" and then quickly corrected himself. Every. Single. Second. before and after that moment was comedy perfection. Not a single joke that doesn't land BIG. Not a single word wasted. He SLAYED that room. And it was almost ALL improvised. It boggles the mind. I miss Don Rickles.
@@bradwiehn2886 Agreed. Though in truth, both George W and Obama have been the target of a LOT of humor at their expense, and taken it with a smile. The same can hardly be said of the current nut-job. Just saying.
Yes, I agree with PMA Jugde, those were the days. People were allowed to joke about anything and anyone, and no one was offended. Today, we only have to look at someone and they sue you for harassment. Thank you for sharing this video, I had a good laugh myself.
So this guy walks into a bar in Argentina. He's there on business, works for a travel agency. He sidles up on a stool and orders a rum & coke. As he's waiting on his drink, he glances to his right and sees this old man who looks strikingly like Adolf Hitler, the German fürher of yesteryear. Led the NSDAP government, got in trouble with the international banking network and whatnot. There was a war about it at one time. So he sees this guy and as he's handed his drink, he thanks the bartender and thinks to himself this guy looks about the age Hitler might be if he were alive to this day. He remembers hearing some theories about the man escaping death and fleeing to South America, he always thought it was ludicrous, but his curiosity is piqued as he's faced with this old man who resembles the fella so much. Lots of wrinkles, no moustache, but he could've been old Adolf's twin. So the guy sips his cokey morgan and musters up the will to start a conversation. He looks at the geezer and he says "Hey man do you speak English?" The man looks at him and nods. "Ja. I speak English, how are you?" "I'm doing well," he says "Hey I don't mean to be insulting, but has anyone ever told you you look a lot like Adolf Hitler?" The old man smiled and looked unfazed "Oh ja, I have been tolt zis." The travel agent thinks to himself what a coincidence it is that this old man seemed to have an authentic German accent. He says "No offense. You German?" The old man nods again. "Ja." The agent asks his name. To his shock the old man replies "Mein name ist Adolf." The bartender glances over inconspicuously as he wipes down the bar a few feet away. The travel agent feels a strange new feeling in the pit of his stomach. A mixture of disbelief, anxiety and fascination. He tries not to let it show as he says "You must be pulling my leg." The elderly man says "No, I am Adolf Hitler. I can tell you because nobody believes me." The agent doesn't know what to say. Here's this guy who could very well be the monster he's heard about all his life. This frail, unassuming senior with the German accent is telling him he's Adolf Hitler. He's just drinking beer in a dim everyday bar at the bottom of the map. The agent asks the old man "How can you tell me so casually that you're Adolf Hitler? The nazi leader? The man who led a charge to take over the world in world war two?" The elderly Hitler says "Please, mein memory ist not what it used to be. I vas ze leader of Chermany and I did have to go to war." The agent feels sick as he asks the most pressing question on his mind- "...How can you live with yourself after murdering 6 million innocent people for nothing?" The former fürher looked again unfazed "What are you speaking of? Zat must be someone else!" The agent couldn't believe it. He looked around just to see if he were the only one hearing this. He looked back to the old man who looked positively innocent in light of the situation. He persisted "You mean to tell me that you don't remember systematically killing SIX MILLION people? You just forgot?" A sad, distant look came into the elderly Hitler's face. "...I can't imagine doing zis horrible thing...even vith all ze power... It can not be..." He was silent for seconds that seemed like eternity. The agent was incredulous "As the leader of the Nazis you ordered the murder of 6 million Jews! It's what you are known for the world round and why you must have come down here to hide from!" A spark of familiarity was seen in the elderly Hitler's eyes. "Jews?" He lifted his mug with a shrug "Yeah, sounds like something I would do."

Is that a reference to something else? I didnt get the joke. Im sorry i dont live in America
Vikrant Subakade Rickles is joking about Reagan treating him like an underling.
@@TheLocoUnion Not correct Rickles was joking about Reagan's age. This roast was in the early 70s; Reagan was already in his 60s then, and a full 14 or 15 years older than Rickles.
@@JohnDoe-tq3ye same thing in a way. still hilarious.
Rickles was firing on all cylinders here. And seeing Jack Benny lose it..... priceless. As sick as Jack was, I'd like to believe that his laughing like this took his pain away for a while and gave him more time.

How did Rickles walk such a fine line, and still be so funny! This was before my time, but these guys were sharp and witty.
He still does a standup touring act after all these years - worth seeing if you can!
Speaking from the future, you only have a year left. :(
The art of Don Rickles was that he was not a mean spirited person in real life at all. Just the opposite. And this characteristic actually was evident to his "targets" even when he delivered his "insults." As Rickles himself acknowledged, if he really felt hostility, it wouldn't be funny. Unfortunately, today's "hate school" of so-called "comics" completely miss this point, which is why they will never be as funny as Don Rickles was.
Rickles was a genius
@@jamesfeldman4234 Spot on!
he has a way of being brutally critical without cussing.. that was classic Rickles. His jokes were so well crafted, his instincts so good, he didn’t need to cuss and frankly, after you watch it the first time, you actually think he must have cussed, but he didn’t. We miss you Don.
There is nothing wrong with cussing
@@spencerantoniomarlen-starr3069 yeah but to insult so well with such humour without cussing that's a rare talent.
@@darylthomas7317 okay, but there is still nothing wrong with cussing. That's like a boxer beating his opponent with just one hand, it's impressive, but unnecessary.

I am 70 and I truly miss these great comedic talents.....there are only a handful today that come close to the genius of the old school crowd.
That Eva Braun intro joke is tops. Martin once said Don Rickles is the only person to ever receive a black belt in hatred. That's hilarious.

He had intimate dinner/interviews with contemporary actors and comedians.

This roast puts RR just two degrees of separation from a load of gangsters. You know, it was his changing of the tax code, and not 'Star Wars' which did in the Soviet system. All those Russian oligarchs needed access to western markets and a place to re-establish their power-base as they stole the assets of their own nation in their sham change-over to a democratic political system.
Changing the tax code allowed them to create massive fortunes in a very short time in the US without facing the safe-guards established by Roosevelt to counter another capitalist crisis the likes of which plunged us into over a decade of economic depression. The Soviet oligarchs needed to hide the money out of country so no foreign service could launch a counter-coup exposing the theft and showing where domestic rivals might expose and retrieve the assets.
You should read, Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer. The Soviets used Armand Hammer to smuggle funds out of Soviet Russia and into the west to fund covert operations. Armand Hammer met with high level mafia criminals engaged in bootlegging and helped them create laundering schemes to purchase legitimate entities. The Soviets had the goal of setting up a commercial contract for ammonium nitrate to bring their agricultural industry into the twentieth century--hoping to defeat the west by boosting their populations, through sheer strength of numbers. Armand Hammer was even known to have met with Meyer Lansky in Cuba.
Meyer was the defacto head of the mafia while Lucky Luciano was in exile... because Meyer had organized a scheme whereby the various bosses could clean their dirty money through the purchase of legitimate businesses from a slush fund established in a Swiss bank account. The Italians wouldn't take orders from a Jew, unless that Jew was showing them how to make a fortune in legitimate dollars. When JFK was assassinated, MI6 had a book published under a phony name, which detailed a study they had compiled which came to the conclusion that the assassination could've been funded by a coalition of fifty investors.
Further, Birobidzahn was an early Bolshevik experiment with a Jewish state. Jewish gangsters were given the incentive of working toward the establishment of a Jewish state. Something Andrei Gromyko takes no small credit for. As the Soviet ambassador to the UN, in recognizing the fledgling state, even as it was stealing the homes of Palestinians to accomplish this.
But this roast is funny.

These roasts were great because the roasters and roastees were actually stars, not 3rd rate hip hop garbage, mediocre actors or reality tv trash. Such a huge difference from today. Todays roasters have to result to vulgar jokes because they arent intelligent enough to think of anything else.
OMG, You just wrote EXACTLY how I feel about it! You said it succinctly. TY
TV was still somewhat fresh so these entertainers had to cut their teeth 20 years before LIVE on stage, which only those with real talent can survive.
Well it also probably helped that back then saying those 7 dirty words was just not allowed, they would've gotten in serious trouble for even approaching them so it required them to work around it. That restriction isn't around so people can just go for the jugular which sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
ubb4me "resort", not result, lol :p
Exactly
The guy he’s talking about in the audience is Tommy Lasorda - manager of the Dodgers.

Yes and he and Lasorda were personal friends. Actually this Show is from 1973 I believe and Lasorda was still the 3rd base coach for the Dodgers who were still managed by the great Walter Alston at the time. Dean also had many connections to the Dodger organization as well.

I am somewhat of a Don Rickles stan. I've seen ALL the roasts, I've seen every YT vid on the search queue. I watched the tribute show they did when it aired. He is, obviously, a genius.
And this clip is IMHO the best 4 minutes he EVER did (that's been recorded... I have no doubt that he has had funnier Vegas sets that we'll never see).
He had ONE slip of the lip.... ONE. He said "wocks" and then quickly corrected himself. Every. Single. Second. before and after that moment was comedy perfection. Not a single joke that doesn't land BIG. Not a single word wasted. He SLAYED that room. And it was almost ALL improvised. It boggles the mind.

Knowing Rickles, he could have easily turned the slip of the tongue and used woks in a joke.

+Crosstownrock3 a lot of the entertainers back then actually served during ww2
klaytonrocks shut the fuck up insensitive, and who says that?
So this guy walks into a bar in Argentina. He's there on business, works for a travel agency.
He sidles up on a stool and orders a rum & coke. As he's waiting on his drink, he glances to his right and sees this old man who looks strikingly like Adolf Hitler, the German fürher of yesteryear. Led the NSDAP government, got in trouble with the international banking network and whatnot. There was a war about it at one time. So he sees this guy and as he's handed his drink, he thanks the bartender and thinks to himself this guy looks about the age Hitler might be if he were alive to this day. He remembers hearing some theories about the man escaping death and fleeing to South America, he always thought it was ludicrous, but his curiosity is piqued as he's faced with this old man who resembles the fella so much. Lots of wrinkles, no moustache, but he could've been old Adolf's twin. So the guy sips his cokey morgan and musters up the will to start a conversation.
He looks at the geezer and he says
"Hey man do you speak English?"
The man looks at him and nods.
"Ja. I speak English, how are you?"
"I'm doing well," he says "Hey I don't mean to be insulting, but has anyone ever told you you look a lot like Adolf Hitler?"
The old man smiled and looked unfazed "Oh ja, I have been tolt zis."
The travel agent thinks to himself what a coincidence it is that this old man seemed to have an authentic German accent.
He says "No offense. You German?"
The old man nods again. "Ja."
The agent asks his name. To his shock the old man replies "Mein name ist Adolf."
The bartender glances over inconspicuously as he wipes down the bar a few feet away.
The travel agent feels a strange new feeling in the pit of his stomach. A mixture of disbelief, anxiety and fascination. He tries not to let it show as he says "You must be pulling my leg."
The elderly man says "No, I am Adolf Hitler. I can tell you because nobody believes me."
The agent doesn't know what to say. Here's this guy who could very well be the monster he's heard about all his life. This frail, unassuming senior with the German accent is telling him he's Adolf Hitler. He's just drinking beer in a dim everyday bar at the bottom of the map. The agent asks the old man "How can you tell me so casually that you're Adolf Hitler? The nazi leader? The man who led a charge to take over the world in world war two?"
The elderly Hitler says "Please, mein memory ist not what it used to be. I vas ze leader of Chermany and I did have to go to war."
The agent feels sick as he asks the most pressing question on his mind-
"...How can you live with yourself after murdering 6 million innocent people for nothing?"
The former fürher looked again unfazed "What are you speaking of? Zat must be someone else!"
The agent couldn't believe it. He looked around just to see if he were the only one hearing this. He looked back to the old man who looked positively innocent in light of the situation. He persisted "You mean to tell me that you don't remember systematically killing SIX MILLION people? You just forgot?"
A sad, distant look came into the elderly Hitler's face. "...I can't imagine doing zis horrible thing...even vith all ze power... It can not be..." He was silent for seconds that seemed like eternity.
The agent was incredulous
"As the leader of the Nazis you ordered the murder of 6 million Jews! It's what you are known for the world round and why you must have come down here to hide from!"
A spark of familiarity was seen in the elderly Hitler's eyes.
"Jews?"
He lifted his mug with a shrug
"Yeah, sounds like something I would do."
So sad they are all gone into eternity , but thanks to the videos we still can laugh out loud . Don Rickles was one of a kind never to be duplicated .
When comedy was funny without being dirty.
Look up George Carlin. Dirty comedy has been around ever since comedy first existed.
@@weldin It wasn't saturated with a joke every 5 seconds about tits, vag and dicks like it is now.
Or you guys can stop being snowflakes and keep that shit on your Twitter with 5 followers and let us enjoy TH-cam:)
@@weldinIt's not an easy task to do clean comedy. It takes work and timing. I'm an entertainer where you can bring the entire family out to watch my show. I have my set jokes. I have my set humorous stories to share. They say truth is stranger than fiction and that is so spot on.
It depends on how you define dirty, but comedy ALWAYS had a scatological edge. Always.
Don Rickles is great.
Well rip Don Rickles .....
This is the best of all Don Rickles roasts.
Back in the day when comedy was wholesome and without vulgarity and crap.
But it was still extremely racist
I literally do not care about racism. I'm tired of people talking about it. It's old and people won't let it die off. Pull the plug the be done with it.
