      Red Buttons is the funniest comedian who lived up until the day he retired. Then it was up to the new kids but no one will ever be so consistently laugh-out-loud funny. I love Dean Martin more because he loved Red Buttons and Foster Brooks. They both could make him laugh hard and that adds to the enjoyment of hearing them perform. I can't wait until the Kingdom of Elohim to see what Red and his favorites are gonna do when they do open for Y'shuwah HaMashiyach at a one-night-only comedy blowout!.

    I cannot believe that Red Buttons was 84 years old when he delivered this masterpiece. Truly inspirational. I wish our elderly politicians had this commanding presence when they spoke. I would feel more confident in our government. I also always think of my beloved dad who passed 4 years ago. Dad loved Red Buttons, Sid Ceasar and so many others of this generation. I have watched this clip maybe 10x. It brings me comfort and always makes me laugh. ❤

    Being funny keeps people young - having a great sense of humor is the best medicine. But one thing tips even these benefits: you make other people laugh. Stand-up comics are my heroes. It’s actually, in my opinion, a higher calling - a spiritual person one. I never tire of tuning in to these sessions. And now all my friends are hooked, too. We’re all Red Buttons fans. I saw that red’s butler posted about his dad! Thank you. Sweetie, for these super-boosters. You can’t be unhappy after listening to Red 17:48 Buttons, alavashulem. ❤ 17:48

I downright laughed out loud 'cause his delivery was so believable. The whole thing was artistry--and I never knew! I've been robbed! I used to shrug, meh, over Red Buttons--and now I know I missed a matter all along.

    It helps with the Orthodox Jewish Vampire joke if you're Jewish.
    Funny stuff.
    I once played a vampire role playing game and the game master asked me who my character was & I said I had been sent by the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem to investigate the strange deaths of the people in the area.
    She went along with it and everyone who was playing a vampire in the game was completely unable to do anything to the Rabbi.
    They were terrified of me & did not know how to react because none of the players were Jewish.
    I was one of the few non vampires that night NOT to get bitten and walked out of the vampire meeting area unscathed.
