I was 20 back in 1976, I remember watching this with my father, tears of laughter rolling down his face. All the greats that we grew up on that provided that much needed laughter. My father has passed away and many of the talents in that room have all left us, I miss those days, those shows , so I enjoyed this. Thankyou.
Was not born nor was my birth in the realm of possibility then but I love these people they are hilarious and could take a joke. These days people are much more sensitive.
@@KiaPi2012I agree. There is a stigma for everything now because of how everything could be magnified under the cancel culture microscope, and if that culture isn’t it, it’s just not being accepted. Loneliness carries a different weight, because we can see it on digital landscape, and that is terrifying because it is the landscape that is before our eyes at moments where we decide on; a moment that we make ourselves vulnerable (even to our own scornful judgement). This is likely of simplified, but seeing your comment really made me think about the social dynamics of then and now. While loneliness and depression was happening then, it’s happening at a younger age with each generation, and well we can be hard on ourselves because we don’t understand that a roast is meant to be light hearted. I don’t know about you folks, but I think at times I could take what someone says about me too seriously when I should have just accepted as jovial comical statement. Those good old days may trend one day if we ourselves could just accept a roasting with a little more cheer. I am thankful that you shared so I could think about all of this, and I think I will consider peoples actions and words under a different light.
I am 79 and keep watching this every month. Sheer class unlike the crass, crude shows we now have. "Yes, Those Were the Days". All my favourite celebs in one place.
But your grandparents hated all this s*** and your grandkids won't give a f*** and this is true of all generations of people's stuff. So why do old people always act like they're special and that they're the first old people to not approve of stuff that 60 years younger?
I met Dean Martin at his home in 1984. Perhaps the nicest and most friendliest person you ever met! We spent over 3 hours visiting. Will never forget it. He loved talking about Rio Bravo and the Duke! He said these were his favorite times, doing westerns with John Wayne!
@@jpaulglobal Back during this era and because of the people I knew I was able to meet a lot of Celebrities at theirs homes because I was one of about 5 of the best and highest referred Massage Therapists in Palm Springs then. I was never into the notoriety just the interaction with these people. There is a long list but I did have to turn down business from people like Bob Hope who wanted Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays at 3pm which was already booked regularly with Sidney and Alexandra Sheldon. I even went to Europe with them in 1996. I also had their next door neighbor Kirk Douglas who was a quiet man... All in a lifetime! Now I work with dogs in my retirement years! Millions of stories... If we go back further to when I managed Two Bunch Palms Resort there were too many Celebrities to even say! From Beau Bridges to the Rolling Stones. Circa 1977- 1981...
Past life, cool stories, I too have a younger life, but in music, I played with very famous ppl, went to exclusive parties, met and hung out with both actors, actresses, music legends, and eventually returned to my roots, and retired from family practice
THIS is the humor we need in America now! Look at this!!! There are men and women, black, white, brown, gay and straight up there all cracking jokes about each other. Every single one of us has something we can be poked at for and we should be able to see the humor in it. Everybody needs to lighten up and laugh at themselves and each other in love like these legends did. Make America wholesome again!
I love the points you've made. So true. Yesteryear is gone with our generation of comedians, singers actors and actresses.😢 God Bless. I'm aware this was 3 yrs. Ago but I just seen it.
My mom is 88 and bedridden, thanks to these oldies but goodies being on UA-cam she is spending her last days watching her favorites. I get a huge laugh myself, love these amazing entertainers.
That's what is FANTASTIC about UA-cam ! My mom too is 80 now and still full of passion but not as healthy these days, but to see her man Frank Sinatra , puts the sparkle back in her eyes ! Touches my heart , GOD bless BonHam..*
So thankful for having grown up during this era..Humor....done without malice..no offense taken..Simple..clean..fun! We laughed..still do watching these videos ..wiping away tears of laughter..At age 67...these memories, I can say.. were the Best of times....never to be experienced in today's world 2024..
At 72, I agree. These shows Dean created are like a roll call of all the 'greats' into one package. It was a blessing to have lived during their existence. To have been part of that era. The best of time, and a time of class and true beauty that will never again exist.
These were the best comedians that will always be remembered. You will never see comedians like this anymore. God bless all of them from Dean Martin to Bob Hope and the rest of the best comedians back then.

This was done in 1976, 42 years ago. Many of these people are no longer with us, but it's good to see them again all together having fun. I'm 70 so I have enjoyed them all.
Alan, I was 10 years old when this aired. These people were the BEST! I'm still a 20th century girl at heart and wish things weren't as complicated as they are now. Such fantastic comedy! I'm happy that I'm not the only one who appreciates it!

The Dean Martin Roasts are timeless, great entertainment. I remember watching them with my parents; great memories with amazing guests on the dias....Dean Martin, Don Rickels, Bob Hope, Ruth Buzzy, etc. etc.... each one funnier than the last. Thank you to UA-cam for bringing them back!!!
Every time I watch this roast I think to watch a few minutes but end up watching the whole thing and I end up in tears laughing. Love this video!! Thanks to all.
It is a shame that we don't have comedians like these around anymore. I used to watch the roasts because of the talent that was doing the roast. We don't have such terrific talent like that anymore and that is a shame.
Besides, this kind of show and humor would be unacceptable today, apart from the fact that young people today are raised not to have any humor, especially this kind.
I disagree with you. I'm a huge stand up comedy fan and there are some AMAZING comics today! They may be more unfiltered and some more vulgar but damn are they good! Bill Burr (my absolutely favorite) Theo Von Tom Segura Bert Krisher Chris D' Elia Chris Distefano Andrew Shulz Andrew Santino Joe Rogan Mark Normand Dave Chappelle Troy Bond John Mulany Anthony Jeselnik Brian Regan Dave Attell Bo Burnham Daniel Sloss T.J. Miller Check them all out!
I remember when my parents watched the series of roasts when I was a young boy… when I got older, o understand how funny they were… I still lmao watching them on UA-cam… forever classics..,
kate parkscott Well, I agree that the comedy was not as dirty as we see these days, but if you watch any of Dean’s shows there was a LOT of innuendo😉. Dean could convey so much more with one knowing look at the camera (and be far funnier) than any number of today’s foul-mouthed ‘comedians’ put together. And with much more style and charm.
Dear children, This is when comedy was funny without being offensive, was poignant without being pungent, and lightened our evenings without offending a single person I totally understand if you don’t recognize it in what passes for humor today
Don Rickles is hosting the event and his whole act is being offensive to people. I love it, but let's shy away from being an old man shaking his fist at young people, shall we?
IT IS 11/ 1 / 16 WHO ARE THE 335 PEOPLE WITH NO SENSE OF HUMOR ???? THESE PEOPLE ARE THE GREATEST STARS AND VERY FUNNY THANKS JACK FOR POSTING !!!! AND RICH LITTLE WHAT A GENIUS !!!! AND DON'T FORGET THE KING OF COMEDY BOB HOPE !!!!AND IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN ROASTING DEAN MARTIN !!! IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS "THE GREATS "!!!!
Dean Martin was very handsome and talented, I also miss those days. He was born in Stubenville, Ohio., My Stepfather was the Mayor of Youngstown back in the 60's and knew him back then. Mr. Martin is interred in the Pierce Brothers Cemetery in Los Angeles along with many of his friends, Rest in Peace .
The roast was the greatest show on tv. They had me laughing so hard. When I watch today's comedy shows they can't even get a smile out of me. Most of them are either sexual innuendos or just raw vulgarity and filthy language. In the days of the roast the family could watch the shows with the children and not be afraid of what the kids were hearing. I loved the Carrol Burnett show, Andy Griffin, Bob Hope Special, Dean Martin's comedy Hour and many other clean decent family comedy. Thank you for bringing back so many beautiful memories
Wow…. nostalgic comedy at it’s finest,with the greatest artist of comedy,acting,sport,politics etc.I honestly don’t think that this form of honest clean family entertainment will ever be repeated again..I laugh so much at this I cry.. you actually believe they are family and friends up there ….thanks guys for the memories
Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen for the last 100 minutes of superb entertainment. I'm thrilled to say I come from the same era, so the memories I take to my final resting place will certainly keep me warm and contented . . . and if you're ever strolling by a cemetery at twilight one evening and you hear laughter echoing around the gravestones . . . don't be alarmed, it's probably just me watching a re-run of this Dean Martin Celebrity Roast show . . . God Bless.
Something that I don't know if people watching this may not have noticed..... All these comedians and non comedians are not reading from teleprompters. And it is one of the reasons these roasts are so special. They have constant eye contact with the audience and eachother. The comedy is spontaneous. The laughing is authentic.
Great comment!’ No blasphemous ‘Oh my God’ then. Dean was clean and so was all his celebrity mates. I am 72 and just adore this man! Thanks Dean, you made my youth and to this day I still love and miss you!!
It was 1976. These were the best of the best. Those of us who grew up with these stars were lucky and blessed. Most are gone now. May they rest in peace.
@@prime-boys the joke went over your head - and if you don't understand these comedians that made racist jokes (*jewish, black italian, puerto rican, gay etc) then may I suggest taking some MIDOL before watching this LMFAO
I remember watching this with my Mom , I was a 17 year old kid with my whole life in front of me . My Dad drove a truck so he didn't get to watch alot of shows with us . I was raised to love and respect great talent and of course with my Mom's family being Italian we worshipped Dean Martin . These bring back so many memories of those days , sometimes it's hard not to shed a tear knowing so many are gone !
Wow! I’m speechless; so grateful to have lived in those years. In 1976 I was 19, to see how this world has deteriorated since growing up can bring me to tears! But for 1hr. 41 minutes and a few seconds I was just able to re-live some golden memories and take a break from modern-day reality! Great show!!!
It sure was. the 70's was and probably will be the best decade of my life. I hope that when I am in heaven, I can relive them over and over for eternity
I enjoy watching these videos of the Roasts that I watched as a kid on TV with my family growing up in the 70s. In most of them, I feel joy at the nostalgia and humor, but also sadness at all the talent deceased and gone. What a pleasant surprise that in this one from 1976, no less than six performers on the dais are alive and well with us as of my viewing today on 12/21/21: Gabe Kaplan (76), Tony Orlando (77), Joe Namath (78), Rich Little (83), Ruth Buzzi (85), and Angie Dickinson (90). May God bless them with continued health and life, and may He bless Dean and the others who have passed on to His care in His Kingdom. Our lives were made more joyful by the gift of laughter they gave and continued to give through video.
Some of the best comedy of our time was made by these folks. For those of us old enough to remember them, this was great to watch. I was laughing the whole time.
All of them put on a show, but by god! The charm of Orson Welles and the spontaneity, quick wit and forked tongue of Don Rickles are a few leagues above everyone else. I could listen to the two of them for hours. They could be reciting the phone book and they would still find ways to make it entertaining.

You can tell the type of man Dean was, everyone loved him so much. I wish I was alive to see this stuff live back then. He seemed like a genuine person loved by many. RIP to one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived.
Kevin Geddis To me it speaks volumes that even after he died people still spoke well of him. So often when famous personalities die everyone comes out of the woodwork to bad-mouth them and make accusations about what a terrible person they really were, but I have not seen anything like that about Dean. That surely says a lot about the kind of man he was.
My favorite quote about dean, it show the type of man he was. His daughter Deana said her dad once said " He only work so his family will be taken care of after he is gone....other then that he work so he could play golf. His family always come 1st then golf. He was so easy goimg
Dean's voice was like an uncle to me from the radio. I grew up listening to him. 73 years later that feeling is still the same. Never new what he looked like until i was a teen. His 60's hits made him more popular with television. He was so handsome. Bob n Bing everyone knew because of White Christmas. I remember my son getting his first compter. When he showed me how to work it, first thing i did was search lyrics i remembered from toddler days. I stil recall the day the Queens father died. I wasn't quite 3, but the house seemed empty without the familiar voices. Those are the entertainers that can never be replaced.
@maturin1919 In the United States, the First Amendment of the Constitution protects freedom of speech. The First Amendment protects even speech that some may find offensive, hateful, or harassing. However, there are some exceptions, such as speech that is considered a true threat. For example, if someone threatens to physically assault another person, their speech would not be protected. The First Amendment only protects against government interference, not private individuals or organizations. For example, a private employer can fire an employee for speech they disapprove of.
100% if the person telling the jokes is a decent human being and isn’t racist, sexist, homophobe, but is making fun of everyone because every ethnic group, gender, sexual orientation or nationality is hilarious and provides plenty material for comedians. Don was a decent human being who was a caring person and always showed respect towards those he roasted.
This was a golden age of tv and comedy. So many great stars and comedians . Dean Martin was a great singer and comedian. His tv shows were outstanding .
@@samuelcole7736 actually the Angie bit was offensive but not the other type of humor, when Don says that about the entire dias jumping on Angie..no to that!
It's March 2022 and this is still just as funny as the night it aired! I really miss all these amazing talented people! Sure miss the good old days of television when you got real quality programming! Before it became just about the money!
You are so right!! Those truly were the days when the people were as quality as the show and the programs were about entertainment fun and enjoyment and truly not about turning a quick buck
It's very sad to look around at the younger generations and know they have no clue how to deal with a true joke... without stabbing each other. I'm 74 years young and loved every minute of this. Thanks for airing this...you have made my day/week a lot brighter...
@SueParras I've got news for you, Suzie, it's always been about money. You call this childish stupidity "quality"? You're talking out of your ass. Whenever someone refers to the "good old days" you know you're dealing with an imbecile.
Thanks SO SO SO much for posting, Jack Pearce! Back when the writing was phenomenal and the delivery was impeccable. How I miss when all the actors' egos played second to the act itself. Simply side-splitting laughter all around.
Clean comedy is the funniest! If you can make a crowd die laughing with clean humor, you're a true comedian. These classic men set the bar really high.
I'm crying because of all these astounding actors and people that were the most classy and most amazing people ever. So darn funny! Oh my gosh. I miss this era so much. Minus the smoking this was just the best of the entertainment industry. I'm 22 and I'm so sad we don't get this kind of amazing comedy anymore... :(
@@oldguardduke Well at least today the actors aren't allowed to smoke or breath without a mask in a closed public setting,unlike this frightening display of FREEDOM in Las Vegas. Our Chinese 🇨🇳 overlords wouldn't be pleased with this behavior at all.. in 2024 we must Re-Elect. Joseph ROBBING IT Biden & Keep CHINA 🇨🇳 HAPPY.
What an amazing line up!! I have loved Dean all my life and miss him.. 😢 I would have loved to to see him when I was in Vegas! In 1980. 🥰🏴🏴
Have so enjoyed watching this, tears rolling down my cheeks, never again will such an esteemed panel of TRUE A-listers be in the same place at the same time, massive thanks for downloading some of my all time heroes.
Garry Lisle carefull what you wish for. you had to wait in line for gas, cars downsized and engines became crap while the rest of the car was crap plastics interiors and thinning body panels and cocaine was brought in by the cia making addicts out of Americans while making drug cartels rich. I could go on. these roast were one of the good things
All these people were fantastic back in the day. They always had fun making jokes at each other none of it was personal and they loved each other. Those truly were the good old days.
Terrific unforgettable entertaining experience of a lifetime. Missed all of these wonderful happy dynamic personalities. Enjoy listening and having a wonderful time laughing and enjoying my time. Thank you so much for bringing back this unforgettable moments in time.
And may i add im having a blast of funny moments in my life watching these amazing personalities unload a tribute of funny anecdotes in tribute to the moment of the hour, Dean Martin. April 9, 2022 (Saturday 1:pm Philippine time)
This is the best comedy ever. I never get tired of watching The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. They were the best talented comedians.Especially Foster Brooks Love him, He was the greatest. Didn't need the fowl language like today's so called comedians, they have no talent. Marie Burlingham
Seeing these greats will always remind me what entertainment was all about no cell phones no computers just great traditional family entertainment sitting in the livingroom after dinner watching these Dean Martin roast were just great best humor and best times. How I wish I can sit in that livingroom with my family one more time
The greatest generation, not one curse word, and everyone slayed! We are blessed to see these roasts, and those here that are gone are SORELY missed. This may have been the best TV episode in history, not sure it would ever be beat, thanks so much.
IThe DEan Martin Roast are very different than the Roasts today. It is not just curse words. The Roast of Today say the most nasiy, hurtful things not only to the Roaser, but the Roastee. Here, they just kid around with each other. Nothing really nasty.
The brilliance of this generation with comedy is that the innuendo was always there if ones mind went in that direction. However, because it was only innuendo, it was clean fun entertainment the entire family could watch!
@@kevinskogg2179 That is the point - anyone without talent mostly curses but these people were so talented and creative they knew how to be truly funny and appeal to all. That Tinkerbell of Hells Angel's joke was hiarious!
True legendary comedic entertainment you can watch over and over again ❤️ I have watched all of the Dean Martin Roasts hundreds of times and this one remains a favourite 🤣😂🤣
Man Rickles was so sweet and sincere at the end. Dean really was a guy who was loved by his peers and fans
The Rat Pack!
For Dean to assemble these great cast of comedians for his own roast is simply AWESOME. RIP buddy.
It was a open bar.
yeah. But wheres his buddy jerry a$$hole. ? AWESOME !
And they all brought their A-game for Dean.

It is a shame that we don't have comedians like these around anymore. I used to watch the roasts because of the talent that was doing the roast. We don't have such terrific talent like that anymore and that is a shame.
there are some good ones nowadays not many but some are relly funny
Besides, this kind of show and humor would be unacceptable today, apart from the fact that young people today are raised not to have any humor, especially this kind.
I disagree with you. I'm a huge stand up comedy fan and there are some AMAZING comics today! They may be more unfiltered and some more vulgar but damn are they good!

I remember when my parents watched the series of roasts when I was a young boy… when I got older, o understand how funny they were… I still lmao watching them on UA-cam… forever classics..,
Yes we do. But they can't say the same things because Americans have turned into soft babies
I remember when this was around. I am happy that this is still here to see
Whenever I am on the verge of an emotional breakdown, I just listen to Orson Welles’ roast of Dean.
Jimmy Stewart is the definition of Old Hollywood Class♥️ Rip
There will Never be anyone like Dean Martin pure class !! No cursing,filth just good clean fun and laughter all the way Brilliant !!
kate parkscott Well, I agree that the comedy was not as dirty as we see these days, but if you watch any of Dean’s shows there was a LOT of innuendo😉. Dean could convey so much more with one knowing look at the camera (and be far funnier) than any number of today’s foul-mouthed ‘comedians’ put together. And with much more style and charm.
kate parkscott well said!!!!
Dean was one of the dirtiest musicians 😂😂
I agree!
They couldn’t be dirty this was on tv
I like the way Don makes jokes to people then presenting people to come up he has a tone of serious, respectful and genuine. Love you Don.
Dear children,
This is when comedy was funny without being offensive, was poignant without being pungent, and lightened our evenings without offending a single person
I totally understand if you don’t recognize it in what passes for humor today
Don Rickles is hosting the event and his whole act is being offensive to people. I love it, but let's shy away from being an old man shaking his fist at young people, shall we?
This was when show biz friends got together and made jokes around a water cooler. Love it
These old time roast are the best ever
IT IS 11/ 1 / 16 WHO ARE THE 335 PEOPLE WITH NO SENSE OF HUMOR ???? THESE PEOPLE ARE THE GREATEST STARS AND VERY FUNNY THANKS JACK FOR POSTING !!!! AND RICH LITTLE WHAT A GENIUS !!!! AND DON'T FORGET THE KING OF COMEDY BOB HOPE !!!!AND IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN ROASTING DEAN MARTIN !!! IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS "THE GREATS "!!!!
I agree
Back when everyone could take a joke.
These people had class. nothing disgusting, just genuine comedy.
Dean Martin was very handsome and talented, I also miss those days. He was born in Stubenville, Ohio., My Stepfather was the Mayor of Youngstown back in the 60's and knew him back then. Mr. Martin is interred in the Pierce Brothers Cemetery in Los Angeles along with many of his friends, Rest in Peace .
Wow I live about 20 mins from Youngstown in Warren
No. Rest in Pierce.
The roast was the greatest show on tv. They had me laughing so hard. When I watch today's comedy shows they can't even get a smile out of me. Most of them are either sexual innuendos or just raw vulgarity and filthy language. In the days of the roast the family could watch the shows with the children and not be afraid of what the kids were hearing. I loved the Carrol Burnett show, Andy Griffin, Bob Hope Special, Dean Martin's comedy Hour and many other clean decent family comedy. Thank you for bringing back so many beautiful memories
No filth smut swearing.......& people are laughing?
Wow…. nostalgic comedy at it’s finest,with the greatest artist of comedy,acting,sport,politics etc.I honestly don’t think that this form of honest clean family entertainment will ever be repeated again..I laugh so much at this I cry.. you actually believe they are family and friends up there ….thanks guys for the memories
I love these roasts - watched them all - no swearing genuine fun - can't tolerate any of the so called comedians today
And I'm guessing that making fun of Martin's drinking problem incessantly is clean family fun?
Yes, It truly WAS one of the funniest shows on the tube!
Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen for the last 100 minutes of superb entertainment. I'm thrilled to say I come from the same era, so the memories I take to my final resting place will certainly keep me warm and contented . . . and if you're ever strolling by a cemetery at twilight one evening and you hear laughter echoing around the gravestones . . . don't be alarmed, it's probably just me watching a re-run of this Dean Martin Celebrity Roast show . . . God Bless.
These old roasts had class. What do we have now, 95% curses?
Only because it was made and edited for broadcast television. If you saw these legends perform live your ears would still be burning.
Um, again, they're words, dude. Just words. Imagine belieiving in 'bad' words... the idea smacks of Puritans.
Someone is triggered!!
Comedy Central Roast struggles to compare. I'm 20 years old and I love this XD
Something that I don't know if people watching this may not have noticed..... All these comedians and non comedians are not reading from teleprompters. And it is one of the reasons these roasts are so special. They have constant eye contact with the audience and eachother. The comedy is spontaneous. The laughing is authentic.
If you don't think they memorized their script, you're blind
And no swearing!!!!
Hands down.. Orson Wells cutting down Don Rickles with that Shakespeare quote then "translating".. SAVAGE! Beautiful... but *SAVAGE* !!!
It's 2019 and these roasts still pack a punch! The epitome of humor!
Classic
It's 2022 over here
If you only knew what's coming in 2020-2022
Yep, after Oscar 2022, punches are given and taken differently now it seems... :-(
Timeless, classics and love 🎀 xoxoxo
Man, how I would love to be at that afterparty.
Oo Hell YEAH !
My mother was 92 when she left us. The funniest woman I ever knew. I miss you Betty Joe.
Ah, the memories. I so loved this show back when and still love it today. People were real. And humor was clean and real. People didn't get offended.
Will Smith didnt cancel every comedian…your libtard friends did
Great comment!’ No blasphemous ‘Oh my God’ then. Dean was clean and so was all his celebrity mates. I am 72 and just adore this man! Thanks Dean, you made my youth and to this day I still love and miss you!!
It was 1976. These were the best of the best. Those of us who grew up with these stars were lucky and blessed. Most are gone now. May they rest in peace.
"If you met an italian, would you talk in italian?"
"No no, I never talk in front of them, I tap dance"
Rofl
im sorry but is that racism?
@@prime-boys the joke went over your head - and if you don't understand these comedians that made racist jokes (*jewish, black italian, puerto rican, gay etc) then may I suggest taking some MIDOL before watching this LMFAO
SirParcifal “ You Sir are an idiot! I’m simply asking a question and not by any way implying anything else!
It would be considered as racism today, but before it was not that big of a deal.
Anyone who does roasts now should be made to watch these old ones. They knew how to do funny back then. Today, not so much.
I remember watching this with my Mom , I was a 17 year old kid with my whole life in front of me . My Dad drove a truck so he didn't get to watch alot of shows with us .
I was raised to love and respect great talent and of course with my Mom's family being Italian we worshipped Dean Martin .
These bring back so many memories of those days , sometimes it's hard not to shed a tear knowing so many are gone !
I was real young too. Times started changing not long after thus. 2 years even
RIP don rickles, you were a very funny comedian.
Love to have them all back. They were the greatest. Made us all laugh. They will be missed but never forgotten.
Wow! I’m speechless; so grateful to have lived in those years. In 1976 I was 19, to see how this world has deteriorated since growing up can bring me to tears! But for 1hr. 41 minutes and a few seconds I was just able to re-live some golden memories and take a break from modern-day reality! Great show!!!
I was 7 but feel the same. Cyber huge from UK
Hugs...😘
I was just a kid when these roasts aired, but how much I loved watching them with my family and seeing my dad laugh until he cried!
This will never get old! What a time this was . Love it!🌻
Oh man!
The world back then was so much better!
It sure was. the 70's was and probably will be the best decade of my life. I hope that when I am in heaven, I can relive them over and over for eternity
Yes it was
I enjoy watching these videos of the Roasts that I watched as a kid on TV with my family growing up in the 70s. In most of them, I feel joy at the nostalgia and humor, but also sadness at all the talent deceased and gone. What a pleasant surprise that in this one from 1976, no less than six performers on the dais are alive and well with us as of my viewing today on 12/21/21: Gabe Kaplan (76), Tony Orlando (77), Joe Namath (78), Rich Little (83), Ruth Buzzi (85), and Angie Dickinson (90). May God bless them with continued health and life, and may He bless Dean and the others who have passed on to His care in His Kingdom. Our lives were made more joyful by the gift of laughter they gave and continued to give through video.
Well said!!
If I had a time machine, this is where I would go first. These comedians were so funny and just make you feel good from laughing
I dunno, Don Rickles was an ASS then in still to this day!
Some of the best comedy of our time was made by these folks. For those of us old enough to remember them, this was great to watch. I was laughing the whole time.

This is so funny. I love it
All of them put on a show, but by god! The charm of Orson Welles and the spontaneity, quick wit and forked tongue of Don Rickles are a few leagues above everyone else. I could listen to the two of them for hours. They could be reciting the phone book and they would still find ways to make it entertaining.

Bravo. Thanks.

You can tell the type of man Dean was, everyone loved him so much. I wish I was alive to see this stuff live back then. He seemed like a genuine person loved by many. RIP to one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived.
Kevin Geddis To me it speaks volumes that even after he died people still spoke well of him. So often when famous personalities die everyone comes out of the woodwork to bad-mouth them and make accusations about what a terrible person they really were, but I have not seen anything like that about Dean. That surely says a lot about the kind of man he was.
My favorite quote about dean, it show the type of man he was. His daughter Deana said her dad once said " He only work so his family will be taken care of after he is gone....other then that he work so he could play golf. His family always come 1st then golf. He was so easy goimg
Dean's voice was like an uncle to me from the radio. I grew up listening to him. 73 years later that feeling is still the same. Never new what he looked like until i was a teen. His 60's hits made him more popular with television. He was so handsome. Bob n Bing everyone knew because of White Christmas. I remember my son getting his first compter. When he showed me how to work it, first thing i did was search lyrics i remembered from toddler days. I stil recall the day the Queens father died. I wasn't quite 3, but the house seemed empty without the familiar voices. Those are the entertainers that can never be replaced.
This was true comedy and truly talented artists. Unlike today's so called comedians..
Classic and absolutely delightful!!! Miss everyone here!
Bob Hope roasts everyone in eight words: “I’m delighted to be here at these auditions.” He’s in a class all by himself.
@Elba, you said it all and its was awesome, Hi and how are you doing ?
this is a prime example of how free speech works and the ability of the audience to not take offence of every word
No it's not. Free speech is an agreement between the government and its people. This has nothing to do with the government 🤦
Yes it is. Totally agree. Free speech. And for those offended, free not to watch! 😂😂
Yeah and it was a very long time ago ☹️
@maturin1919 In the United States, the First Amendment of the Constitution protects freedom of speech. The First Amendment protects even speech that some may find offensive, hateful, or harassing. However, there are some exceptions, such as speech that is considered a true threat. For example, if someone threatens to physically assault another person, their speech would not be protected.
The First Amendment only protects against government interference, not private individuals or organizations. For example, a private employer can fire an employee for speech they disapprove of.
100% if the person telling the jokes is a decent human being and isn’t racist, sexist, homophobe, but is making fun of everyone because every ethnic group, gender, sexual orientation or nationality is hilarious and provides plenty material for comedians. Don was a decent human being who was a caring person and always showed respect towards those he roasted.
Gee, Don Rickles, Gene Kelly, John Wayne, Orson Welles, Jimmy Stewart, Muhammad Ali honoring Dino! Talks about an all-star cast!
You forgot the great Bob Hope!
Pretty remarkable!
Don't forget Foster Brooks, a legend in his time.
Perfect all star line up and amazing talent. So sadly missing most of them .
This was a golden age of tv and comedy. So many great stars and comedians . Dean Martin was a great singer and comedian. His tv shows were outstanding .
He acted pretty well, too
Yo Jack THANK YOU FOR this all the memories these guys were great. I can hear my mom and dad laughing again watching these shows. Really thanks
These are the Best Ever Roasts: King of Roasts Dean Martin and the Real Greats of Comedy
STYLE, RESPECT, GENUINE HUMOUR & 100% PURE CLASS......The way it was meant to be....I Love these old Roasts.
Samuel Cole P.S Dayummmmmmmmmm.......I would have Loved to rail Angie Dickinson back then........WOW!
Samuel Cole r
@@samuelcole7736 actually the Angie bit was offensive but not the other type of humor, when Don says that about the entire dias jumping on Angie..no to that!
@@samuelcole7736 we have no interest in what you'd f**ck, posts like that need to STOP please
It's March 2022 and this is still just as funny as the night it aired! I really miss all these amazing talented people! Sure miss the good old days of television when you got real quality programming! Before it became just about the money!
You are so right!! Those truly were the days when the people were as quality as the show and the programs were about entertainment fun and enjoyment and truly not about turning a quick buck
It's very sad to look around at the younger generations and know they have no clue how to deal with a true joke... without stabbing each other. I'm 74 years young and loved every minute of this. Thanks for airing this...you have made my day/week a lot brighter...
@SueParras I've got news for you, Suzie, it's always been about money. You call this childish stupidity "quality"? You're talking out of your ass. Whenever someone refers to the "good old days" you know you're dealing with an imbecile.
And no foul language... what a relief
July 2022
The best roast ever, its sad to see most of the people on the show are gone.
All, not most.
@@melaniecotterell9972 Ruth Buzzi is still around as of January 2020.
well most of them were old even back then so it comes as no surprise they aren't around now
@@melaniecotterell9972 Angie Dickinson is also alive
@@melaniecotterell9972 18 dead 4 alive unless some have passed
Thanks SO SO SO much for posting, Jack Pearce! Back when the writing was phenomenal and the delivery was impeccable. How I miss when all the actors' egos played second to the act itself. Simply side-splitting laughter all around.
Sheila Stahl g
@Sheila, I cant agree less, Hi and how are you doing ?
Rickles to Ronald Reagan: "You don't see many governors wearing clip-on bow ties!" Hilarious without vulgarity.
Clean comedy is the funniest! If you can make a crowd die laughing with clean humor, you're a true comedian. These classic men set the bar really high.
Make fun of race, religion and gender and NO ONE is offended. Can you imagine today?
Absolutely my friend!
Keezy Deejay yes
Keezy Deejay
FoolsRushIn Says I agree with you
I'm crying because of all these astounding actors and people that were the most classy and most amazing people ever. So darn funny! Oh my gosh. I miss this era so much. Minus the smoking this was just the best of the entertainment industry. I'm 22 and I'm so sad we don't get this kind of amazing comedy anymore... :(
You had to put smoking in there
None of today's so called Entertainers can hold a candle to any of these Greats of Entertainment!
God bless you babe..I know huh..we need true comedy, not this sad excuse for comedy nowadays
@@oldguardduke Well at least today the actors aren't allowed to smoke or breath without a mask in a closed public setting,unlike this frightening display of FREEDOM in Las Vegas. Our Chinese 🇨🇳 overlords wouldn't be pleased with this behavior at all.. in 2024 we must Re-Elect. Joseph ROBBING IT Biden & Keep CHINA 🇨🇳 HAPPY.
i love to see people your age like this old stuff. myself, i was a baby when this aired, you weren't even alive
What an amazing line up!! I have loved Dean all my life and miss him.. 😢 I would have loved to to see him when I was in Vegas! In 1980. 🥰🏴🏴
Always loved Rich Little's impression of Paul Lynn. 😂😂😂😂 Just genius!!
Have so enjoyed watching this, tears rolling down my cheeks, never again will such an esteemed panel of TRUE A-listers be in the same place at the same time, massive thanks for downloading some of my all time heroes.
Truly, the Golden Age of television. My family watched all these shows together when I was a child and teen.
wish I was alive through these times. when there was something called respect
Garry Lisle carefull what you wish for. you had to wait in line for gas, cars downsized and engines became crap while the rest of the car was crap plastics interiors and thinning body panels and cocaine was brought in by the cia making addicts out of Americans while making drug cartels rich. I could go on. these roast were one of the good things
I never laughed so hard these roasts were very funny!
In 2024, the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts still brings so much laughter and joy to many.
What a Show!
Subscribed, and Thank you for the full episode.
All these people were fantastic back in the day. They always had fun making jokes at each other none of it was personal and they loved each other. Those truly were the good old days.
There will never be another Don Rickles!!!!!!
I just rewatched this, and I haven’t laughed so hard, too bad we don’t have this kind of comedy anymore. Please play more of the roasts.
Thank you,
It simply doesn't get better than this full star cast and their wonderful sense of humour.
Pure, funny and clean. I really miss TV like this.
Terrific unforgettable entertaining experience of a lifetime. Missed all of these wonderful happy dynamic personalities. Enjoy listening and having a wonderful time laughing and enjoying my time. Thank you so much for bringing back this unforgettable moments in time.
And may i add im having a blast of funny moments in my life watching these amazing personalities unload a tribute of funny anecdotes in tribute to the moment of the hour, Dean Martin. April 9, 2022 (Saturday 1:pm Philippine time)
Don Rickles is freakin' LEGENDARY roaster
Anonymous Spiderman *Was :(
The best; a real natural!
This is the best comedy ever. I never get tired of watching The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. They were the best talented comedians.Especially Foster Brooks Love him, He was the greatest. Didn't need the fowl language like today's so called comedians, they have no talent. Marie Burlingham
Gabriel Iglesias
Wonderful times, great humor. Thank you for bringing it back so can remember and laugh once again at each other.
All the Greatest of all time in the same stage....! Old Good Day's.
Such class and humor! The best stars of the 20th century. Funny without having to curse every 5 seconds as they do in the new roasts.
Seeing these greats will always remind me what entertainment was all about no cell phones no computers just great traditional family entertainment sitting in the livingroom after dinner watching these Dean Martin roast were just great best humor and best times. How I wish I can sit in that livingroom with my family one more time
The greatest generation, not one curse word, and everyone slayed! We are blessed to see these roasts, and those here that are gone are SORELY missed. This may have been the best TV episode in history, not sure it would ever be beat, thanks so much.
IThe DEan Martin Roast are very different than the Roasts today. It is not just curse words. The Roast of Today say the most nasiy, hurtful things not only to the Roaser, but the Roastee. Here, they just kid around with each other. Nothing really nasty.
They were on TV, they couldn't curse.
The brilliance of this generation with comedy is that the innuendo was always there if ones mind went in that direction. However, because it was only innuendo, it was clean fun entertainment the entire family could watch!
And no nasty tattoos, piercings, or wild colored hair...and still over the top entertaining!
@@kevinskogg2179 That is the point - anyone without talent mostly curses but these people were so talented and creative they knew how to be truly funny and appeal to all. That Tinkerbell of Hells Angel's joke was hiarious!
So nice to see comedy funny again when no one got offended. I laughed my ass off. Nice to be back here
My first time watching this video and never thought I could laugh this hard.
True legendary comedic entertainment you can watch over and over again ❤️ I have watched all of the Dean Martin Roasts hundreds of times and this one remains a favourite 🤣😂🤣
Jimmy Stewart about had Rickles on floor choking on his sip of water after Jimmy opened.
Roflmao!
When Jimmy said to Don about a picture he'd done, I knew it would be The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
I always loved these roasts as a young teenager, and still enjoy watching them.
a great classic roast from the old style hollywood.thanks! have seen most of them before..but Dean Martin is a Classic..
