It makes me happy people still recognize just how good Brooks was. This is absolute mastery of comedy delivery and timing. It just doesn’t get better than this.
Foster was my grandad. A little-known fact was that he had such severe dyslexia he couldn’t accept the lead in a movie or anything where he was required to memorize lines. I’ve always wondered, if they’d just told him about the character and let him run with it, they’d have had a smash (pardon the pun-I am my grandfather’s kin, after all 😂) hit on their hands. I’m sure he improved the more times he played this character, but he had an innate sense of timing and delivery, a true gift.
I love the part at the end where he turns just as he gets to the door and, breaking character, takes a well deserved bow. Ladies and gentlemen...a master at work.
Going down memory lane.....got off my flight to Burbank back around ‘87 or so....and foster was couple steps ahead of me.....he slowed down walking up the ramp...as I passed him...I pleasantly said to mr. brooks...I enjoy your performances...he politely acknowledged my statement and Simply continued walking in swaggering style....cool cat indeed..
The biggest laugh is The fact that Foster Brooks never Drank. I am 71 male now and still come back to this all time best of Foster and Dean Dean lost it in laughter unrehearsed as why he had to wipe his eyes from overwhelming laughter RIP both 2 of the greatest ever
An even bigger one is that you actually believe it. He drank pretty heavily until 1964, when he quit cold turkey. Someone bet him $10 he couldn’t. He said, “at the time I really needed the ten dollars.”
Watching this now in my 70’s I am so blessed at the memories of having been one of 8 backup singers on Dean’s show for many years in the 60s. They just don’t make them like this these days. Brilliant and one of the nicest men ever walked the planet. RIP, we all miss you so much Boss! ❤️
I'm about to turn 48 and I grew up on these legends thanks to my grandfather. The Cannonball Run movies are some of my all time favorites. Frank, Dean, Sammy, Burt Reynolds, Dom Deluise, Telly Savalas. I have such respect for all of them. But Foster Brooks was the king.
If I had to guess, I feel like Dean was only given a general premise for the skit and had no idea what exactly Foster was going to say and do. His reactions and laughter are genuine and not at all rehearsed.
Foster Brooks was brilliant and hysterical, Dean Martin was a legend and genuinely funny in his own right. Not even in SNL’s wildest of dreams could they come close to real comedy like this
SNL is not exactly the competition. SNL is, by its nature, a comedy experiment. They try a lot of things that don’t work very well but they also do a lot that does work. Dean Martin’s show was in prime time. SNL is late night, with a target audience of young people who couldn’t find anything to do on Saturday night. It doesn’t get any funnier than Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, and Palin herself liked it so much she hosted the show one night and even performed with Tina. For another example, I defy you to seek out SNL’s spoof commercial for Amazon Echo Silver (it’s here on youtube) and not laugh at it. It’s hilarious!
He was not only brilliant, he was a genuinely good soul. My mom dated Fosters' best friend, so I saw him alot. By the time this show aired, Foster had 20 years sober. Dean wasn't a big drinker either. I always thought it was so cool that you could be famous just for acting drunk! Lol. Little did I know that I was actually in the presence of comedic geniuses.
he never went or chased fame or fortune,till he was 60,then this genius of comedy,took his place as one of the greats,very talented man,and this is just one of his characters,god rest your soul MR BROOKS AND DEAN MARTIN,MATT HELM
With all the Foster Brooks stuff I think this one was the absolute best. This one is a never-ending laugh riot no matter how many times you've seen it.
It's true. I've watched this over and over and every single time I watch it, I dissolve in gasping laughter and tears. I especially love to see Dean lose it.
A clause in Dean Martin's contract with NBC stated that he didn't have to show up for rehearsals. So this was the first time that he'd heard Foster Brooks' lines.
That's was the same way when he was with Jerry. He came in from the golf course right before the show. Got a rough idea what Jerry had in mind, they ab-lib most of it. He knew his song but that was about it. A lot of his shows with Jerry was just like this... They never was sure where it was going to go. It was a good training ground for Dean and Jerry both. I think Dean was more natural at it then Jerry.
The story goes, Dean was given a read out of the script on an early Walkman type tape recorder he would listen to while playing golf so he had a fair idea of what was coming, but I doubt the tape guy sounded like Don Rickles, Jonathon Winters, Bob Newhart or Foster Brooks.
Im 61 and remember watching this with my father who loved the Dean Martin show....always watched it when he could. I remember watching this when it first aired ....im going to guess 1970? I miss the cigarettes and booze ....my father was always puffing on a Winston when this was on and drinking a beer.
greg hughey Well, the Dean Martin Show actually ran for 9 years from 1965 to 1974, but you’re right, this sketch must have been from the 1970s because according to Wikipedia the 747 that Foster mentions was first put into service with Pan Am in 1970.
Foster and his creative brilliance are timeless. His nuances and timing are unmatched. And he never breaks character, even when those around him lose their composure. one of the absolute greats from that golden era of comedy.
This is the funniest segment I've ever seen!! My dad and I used to watch these when they originally aired and we would literally be gasping for air and in tears!!! Dean's complete meltdown is absolutely hysterical and still brings me to tears.....And Foster continues to pummel him with his jokes. Unbelievable!! God bless you Foster, you brought joy to millions with your tasteful and gentle, self deprecating humor!!!!
I love this one so much. Dean never could keep it together around Foster. Pure love and respect. This is what people call the good ole days. I'd give anything to go back to the time that television was this great.
To me, that's what made these shows so funny. I'm glad I was alive to watch these on television when we only had three channels to choose from. Now we have three hundred channels and not much to watch.
A true master of his craft. It just doesn’t get any better than the genius of Foster Brooks. How the man kept a straight face when everyone around him was simply losing it, is a pure testament to his talent. Never a let down from any of his classic performances, no matter how many times you watch them. The golden era of comedy. The Dean Martin Roasts were always the cream of the crop.
I have added these to my favourite list and when I am having a bad day I play them, I'm 83 and remember the Dean Martin Roasts been on a Sunday night, Pity we don't get these great shows anymore
Boy, if you’re ever feeling down and out just watch this. I cry laughing at it. NO ONE could do a drunk like the great Foster Brooks. No one!! “What do you fly?” “Oh, it’s one of those big grey metal things with watcha-call-its sticking out on the sides.” 🤣😂😆
I was in a local play where I had to play a drunk. The theater critic in the paper compared me to Foster Brooks. I didn't know who he was, so I asked my mother and she turned me on to the Dean Martin shows and roasts. I've loved Foster Brooks ever since. And it's true, I laugh so hard I cry, no matter how many times I see it.
My all time favorite Foster Brooks skit. I'll never tire seeing it again and again or fail to laugh. This is REAL comedy. A bucket full of 4 letter words so-called comedians spew out today is NOT comedy, yet it is allowed and not a skit like this. What is with that? The PC world has lost the plot. Also, Dean Martin was one of the most talented people ever and, though popular as he was, he was never given the accolades he deserved. He did it all - singing, comedy, serious acting, TV, movies, live performances. Very few entertainers can even come close to claiming having done it all like he did.
Hands down the best drunk I have ever seen in my life!!! No one can play it better!!! Even teenagers I had around me when I watched him recently, started to tell their friends about him being so awesome as a drunk...and teenagers today dont even consider watching shows from his time...
All these years later and this skit still brings tears to my eyes...especially when Dino couldn't keep a straight face...missing both Dean Martin and Foster Brooks....Thank Goodness for UA-cam!!
If you're going to quote, get it right! Nothing torpedo a joke more than getting the words wrong. "The plane lost an engine." "Don't worry, it will turn up."
They are probably among those who went ice fishing and caught 200 lb. of ice, then had their wives fry it and they drowned... (that's a line from a comedy special he did, can't remember the name of it, but if you can find it, it is definitely worth watching!).
I now it's a tad late, but that special was called " Don't laugh, you're next" it's on here somewhere. I remember buying it on a double vhs when it came out.
I totally agree I always admired both of them and word has it that Foster Brooks either didn't never took a drink or just very sociable you know moderate
Too funny ..back when times were so good ..I miss dean Martin ..I loved his .Dean Martin roast ..he made you forget any problems just watching him perform...
The whole family always watched Dean's show. It was great entertainment. We all loved Foster Brooks. What I also found funny about him was that others would be breaking up around him when he did a routine. But somehow he never went out of character, he didn't laugh like everyone else, he never missed a beat. I really miss these days, I don't watch today's comedians, they just aren't funny.
Arguably, Foster at his best! Can't remember how many times I've seen this, but it cracks me up with the same intensity with every viewing. Dean not able to control himself doesn't stop the heroic comedian from delivering his lines to perfection! Love and respect to this beautiful man!
Indeed. He actually starts the line but can't finish it, then Dean says "Yes" to try and rescue it but Foster turns round, glances at Dean's cue cards and says "yes?" because it's not there and this makes Dean lose it even more.
Watching this reminds me that there is good side-splitting fun without foul language - I'm glad it's on UA-cam so I can pause it while I run to the bathroom before I have an accident!!
We need shows like this, more stars like these! Dean never liked to rehearse the script because he loved seeing the jokes for the first time, so when the crowd is going hysterical you can guarantee so was Dean! Lol
Lots a people don't realize he was once an alcoholic. . Someone bet him 10 bucks he couldn't quit drinking. . However he did quit drinking and never touched alcohol again in his life. . That's Talent. . He is stone sober and acts drunk. . Funny as hell!!!!!
It makes me happy people still recognize just how good Brooks was. This is absolute mastery of comedy delivery and timing. It just doesn’t get better than this.
foster brooks never gonna get to old for watching thats a given , pure comedy at its best , amongst others also .
He is comedic gold
This was SNL before SNL The difference being the delivery.

“Are you sure you’re not a pilot?” That was the favorite joke in my squad... Great actors, great entertainers, great times...
He had an ability to go instantly into character and out of character. Amazing. And never cracked a smile when he made the other actors laugh.

He turns at the end to show you that he is actually sober. He did this for most performances.
The biggest laugh is The fact that Foster Brooks never Drank.
I am 71 male now and still come back to this all time best of Foster and Dean
Dean lost it in laughter unrehearsed as why he had to wipe his eyes from overwhelming laughter
RIP both 2 of the greatest ever
An even bigger one is that you actually believe it. He drank pretty heavily until 1964, when he quit cold turkey. Someone bet him $10 he couldn’t. He said, “at the time I really needed the ten dollars.”
The chemistry between Dean and Foster was brilliant.
yes...love it
dean is just crap
Dean played the drunk straight man to a tee.
Watching this now in my 70’s I am so blessed at the memories of having been one of 8 backup singers on Dean’s show for many years in the 60s. They just don’t make them like this these days. Brilliant and one of the nicest men ever walked the planet. RIP, we all miss you so much Boss! ❤️
Wow… amazing and how fun it must have been for you!
I'm about to turn 48 and I grew up on these legends thanks to my grandfather. The Cannonball Run movies are some of my all time favorites. Frank, Dean, Sammy, Burt Reynolds, Dom Deluise, Telly Savalas. I have such respect for all of them. But Foster Brooks was the king.
My goodness your lucky! That's so awesome!
Were you on the episode with David Janssen?
Diana - would love to hear a story or two - I hope Dean was as wonderful as I wished him to be x
He's on screen for not even 30 seconds and Dean is already done. An absolute legend of a much different age. I love it.
Yep, Martin was REALLY losing it!! ; )
If I had to guess, I feel like Dean was only given a general premise for the skit and had no idea what exactly Foster was going to say and do. His reactions and laughter are genuine and not at all rehearsed.
And that’s why and what made these shows the best! Exactly what you stated
Dean Martin was known not to rehearse.
N ..
You obviously never watched any of the DM roasts. Hilarious.
@@ArienUndomiel that's because he was spontaneity.
I watch this almost once a day. I still think this is the best comedy segment on TV of all time. 😆
Brilliant 😊
I also do often. He do it so well😊 haha.
Don't forget the two other. Dentist, and brain surgeon.
Thanks for reply. That's great. Let's have some fun, and laugh 😂
If I were to try and explain to someone exactly what comedy is I would steer them to this video. It is a class on comedy.
Foster Brooks was brilliant and hysterical, Dean Martin was a legend and genuinely funny in his own right. Not even in SNL’s wildest of dreams could they come close to real comedy like this
Amen!
Shit Saturday night live never even brought a smile on my face, during the few episodes that I watched until I realized that it was a waste of time!

You will NEVER EVER see this kind of talent ,EVER again.
Sadly true.
You are right about that my friend watch some Sammy Davis jr live just amazing talent all ten together are ridiculously good
@O G Yes you are right lol , Its just so original , they laugh at there own stuff because its that funny lol
Agree
A dying art
Dean laughs the hardest when Foster is with him. The thing with the hand was just beautiful.
seen this sketch a million times and it never gets old
Still one of the funniest moments in TV's history!!!!!!
I wish we had this type of t.v. now.Just good clean fun..miss those days
I agree with you. This was so much fun in my day
I'm on a mission, watching everything with Foster Brooks.
Me too lol
Happy trails...
Funny, I probably watched 20 clips with him today. 🤣
I watch on loop.

So fun watching Dean slowly melt into uncontrollable laughter. You could tell he was trying to fight it off. A true classic.
Mr. Brooks' timing was always *perfect*. What a huge talent.

He moved to California in his early 50s.
Sublime. Of course, this now means I have to watch the frontier doctor, brain surgeon and dentist sketches.....again!
This skit never gets old. Two greats of all time
With all the Foster Brooks stuff I think this one was the absolute best. This one is a never-ending laugh riot no matter how many times you've seen it.
Check out Foster Brooks' roast of Don Rickles. "Today we are here to honor Don Pickles - I mean Rickles - that's a dilly."
I liked the one where Dean told him he had bad breath
It's true. I've watched this over and over and every single time I watch it, I dissolve in gasping laughter and tears. I especially love to see Dean lose it.
Seen this a million times and have laughed a million times. Real comedy without f-bombs and personal attacks. State of the art talent here.

And yet he's acting as if he had his first ever glass of hard liquor.
That's talent! Because on the sauce, let's be honest, most of us are vulgar.
One of the funniest guys ever

This is actual talent, these guys didn't have to go in the gutter for laughs.

Definitely a classic. No, we won't see comedy like this again.
When your feeling Covid down. Just listen to these two . Watched this sketch many times, still cry laughing
My husband and I saw Foster Brooks in Las Vegas in 1976 and just loved his act. We very nearly had a potty problem cracking up. Funny, creative guy.
I love it when Dean finally realizes he can't keep a straight face anymore and just loses it.
He wanted it spontaneous; that's why he's never gone to any of the rehearsals.
Dean was acting?
To me, that's what made these shows so funny. I'm glad I was alive to watch these on television when we only had three channels to choose from. Now we have three hundred channels and not much to watch.

To bad DEAN WASN'T PLAYING...CLASSIC
What makes Foster Brooks skit so funny is the fact that Foster Brooks is a teatottller
Meaning that he was stone cold sober the whole time
61 years old and one of the top 5 funniest. not just tv,anything i have ever seen......\When Dino cracks up like that its special....
Foster Brooks was a comic genius. I can't stop laughing and I love almost as much, watching Dean Martin's reactions.

Well said Sir!! Days gone by that sadly we'll never see ENTERTAINMENT like this AGAIN!!
Hands down the best drunk I have ever seen in my life!!! No one can play it better!!! Even teenagers I had around me when I watched him recently, started to tell their friends about him being so awesome as a drunk...and teenagers today dont even consider watching shows from his time...
Kevin Anderson John Dunsworth played a fantastic drunk too!!
Yep was going to say, Mr. Lahey is a modern classic
I could watch Foster and Dean for hours!! Hey were a perfect mach🤣
Thank you dad for introducing Foster Brooks to me I can't get enough of this guy
I laughed at this as a young kid, and now at 44 im still laughing... Dean crying makes ME cry from laughter
And you're still young.

That skit is THE BEST! Such perfect comedic timing with Brooks. Luv it! “...are you sure your not a airline pilot?”... perfect!!
You have any close calls as a pilot.
Oh yes. Especially since they moved the restroom to the back of the plane.
I cried laughing.
This is pure comedy gold! No matter how many times I watch it, I always laugh.
Pure as it gets.....
" An engine fell off!" "
"Don't worry, it will turn up." Classic.
If you're going to quote, get it right! Nothing torpedo a joke more than getting the words wrong.
"The plane lost an engine."
"Don't worry, it will turn up."
Foster Brooks said that statement like that's normal. Just to dam funny. Can watch this over and over again.
They "lost" an engine...NOT fell off.
Foster Brooks is Great!! Had Martin in tears!!! Thats how good he was!!!
Miss you and Frank on this planet -

Greetings from Dubai 🇦🇪
Brilliant comedy. Brings back great memories from the 70's. Dean Martin and Ed Sullivan shows were classics. Thanks for the memories.
The great DEAN MARTIN is already cracking -up.....and so am I.
..
i could watch this kind of shows all day.i did in the good ole days.miss the times
I love how Dean is losing it and Foster stays in character 😂.
That was Dean's trademark.
And the way Foster was torturing Dean towards the end, getting right in his face. Comedy doesn't get better than this.
I totally agree I always admired both of them and word has it that Foster Brooks either didn't never took a drink or just very sociable you know moderate
Too funny ..back when times were so good ..I miss dean Martin ..I loved his .Dean Martin roast ..he made you forget any problems just watching him perform...
I could see this once a week and be in hysterics every time.
Brooks’ professionalism really shines through, as he exits the stage with a bow. Bravo!
Can't beat the good old days brooks is marvelous and Dean also Wow what a pair
Foster Brooks plays a fantastic drunk but he is also fantastic at keeping a straight face, especially with Dean completely out of control !
This is probably the best Foster has done and the most Dean laughed.
His roast of Don Rickles is up there too.
Foster Brooks, one of the funniest people on camera. Every time I see this guy, I know I'm going to LMAO.
The whole family always watched Dean's show. It was great entertainment. We all loved Foster Brooks. What I also found funny about him was that others would be breaking up around him when he did a routine. But somehow he never went out of character, he didn't laugh like everyone else, he never missed a beat. I really miss these days, I don't watch today's comedians, they just aren't funny.

Arguably, Foster at his best! Can't remember how many times I've seen this, but it cracks me up with the same intensity with every viewing. Dean not able to control himself doesn't stop the heroic comedian from delivering his lines to perfection! Love and respect to this beautiful man!
This is perfect..Brooks had nuance and incredible control...genius
Never get tired watching these old school comedy. Truly classic. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
I love the bit at 3:43 when Foster is about to say the next line but has to hold on because Dean is laughing so much.
Royal Fool I totally agree... they were so perfect in this skit
Indeed. He actually starts the line but can't finish it, then Dean says "Yes" to try and rescue it but Foster turns round, glances at Dean's cue cards and says "yes?" because it's not there and this makes Dean lose it even more.
Watching this reminds me that there is good side-splitting fun without foul language - I'm glad it's on UA-cam so I can pause it while I run to the bathroom before I have an accident!!
This was one of my favorite shows. Loved the way they cracked up in the middle of the skit. Real original comedy.
We need shows like this, more stars like these! Dean never liked to rehearse the script because he loved seeing the jokes for the first time, so when the crowd is going hysterical you can guarantee so was Dean! Lol
Yeswedo
No one today can come close to comedy like this.
This is the perfect illustration of use of language,,,,, wonderful,,,,
Good clean comedy, wonderful acting. I am 79 and enjoying every minute of it in far away RSA.
Taking humor to new heights, priceless!
Kitty Kitty Yeah, high up there amongst all those “fluffy white things!”☁️✈️ (sorry, I couldn’t resist😉😂)
Don Rickles was wright Mr Brooks your talent goes beyond perfection may you both RIP ,. comedy misses you both .
Mom& Dad used to laugh& laugh over Foster. Make my heart ❤️ warm...I miss yhem.....
Foster Brooks had the mannerisms down pat, all the way down to the DTs. Hilarious!
FOSTER was a MASTER at STAYING IN CHARACTER !!!!
How Right You Are!!!👍👍👏👏
A classic...never will there ever be another actor like Brooks.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Lots a people don't realize he was once an alcoholic. . Someone bet him 10 bucks he couldn't quit drinking. . However he did quit drinking and never touched alcohol again in his life. . That's Talent. . He is stone sober and acts drunk. . Funny as hell!!!!!
It's the fucking holidays I miss my children and life go fuck yourself and leave alone.
One of the best comedy skits ever! I have seen it a thousand times and still laugh all the way through!!
