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.
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.”
I agree, the programs on my TV are so crap I've decided to buy a new TV 🙄 If you had a spaceship that could travel at massive speed you could catch up with the old TV signals and watch Dean's show live, which goes to show life is better out in space.
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..
Ok so i didn't know about this clip since few days ago, but since i found it i watch it every day few times! Can't get enough! This is unbelievable talent! Classic comedy! So simple and so funny! wow! R.I.P. Mr. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!!
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 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
I've watched it a dozen times or more. Each time I shake and tears roll down my cheeks,like Dino's--with laughter. Told my Bro,thousands of miles away to watch. He's still laughing,at dawn even.
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.
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.
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 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.
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."
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!
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...
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.
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.
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.
I remember howling with laughter when I was a kid watching these skits. Now at 64, I still laugh hysterically when I watch them. Foster was a genius. The man never broke character, even while Dean and the gang were damn near passing out from laughing so hard. R.I.P. Foster Brooks.
When you compared this and what we have today i seriously don't belive that we moved forward . Feels like we are in the wrong path for a very long time. Today people laugh only when someone swear in the show but look at this .. pure. I wish I could back there
I grew up watching this TV program..... It was live TV, no censorship, just the real thing! There was a documentary about this program, and how Dean Martin never reheared a show, but adlibbed almost everything you see!!!
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
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.

More talent in ONE HOUR of television, than in an entire season of television today.
yes
I agree, the programs on my TV are so crap I've decided to buy a new TV 🙄 If you had a spaceship that could travel at massive speed you could catch up with the old TV signals and watch Dean's show live, which goes to show life is better out in space.
Where The Hell i've been since i found this masterpiece just right now for the first time ever and it is almost year 2024
No idea but that’s what we old folk call real entertainment We laughed a lot and I miss that entertainment
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..
He turns at the end to show you that he is actually sober. He did this for most performances.
“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.
The chemistry between Dean and Foster was brilliant.
yes...love it
dean is just crap
Dean played the drunk straight man to a tee.
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!! ; )
So fun watching Dean slowly melt into uncontrollable laughter. You could tell he was trying to fight it off. A true classic.
Ok so i didn't know about this clip since few days ago, but since i found it i watch it every day few times! Can't get enough! This is unbelievable talent! Classic comedy! So simple and so funny! wow! R.I.P. Mr. Brooks!

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
This never gets old. A master at work!
seen this sketch a million times and it never gets old
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
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....
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.
Thank you dad for introducing Foster Brooks to me I can't get enough of this guy

The cowboy and doctor scene is another gem.
@@Dave5843-d9m, that’s the one where dean got shot by an arrow…?
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.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
They were both fabulous. What a pleasure to be able to enjoy them now. England, September, 2024.
Dean laughs the hardest when Foster is with him. The thing with the hand was just beautiful.
This is real comedy.
No bad words no curse just having fun.
Those days are gone.

The golden era of comedy. The Dean Martin Roasts were always the cream of the crop.
That dry wit is a family trait.
Mr. Brooks' timing was always *perfect*. What a huge talent.
Can't stop watching this. I've never stopped crying.
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.
My late stepfather was in stitches over this sketch over 35 yrs ago!Foster really killed it then he was on!
This skit never gets old. Two greats of all time
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
Brilliant comedy. Brings back great memories from the 70's. Dean Martin and Ed Sullivan shows were classics. Thanks for the memories.
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.
@@edydonLook Don we do have something in common, you see I'm fooling around with your wife and incidentally you're out of scotch! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.

These guys were some of the best comedians in the history of man kind!!!
Still one of the funniest moments in TV's history!!!!!!

Even the great Dean Martin is so in awe of Foster Brooks he begins shed tears at his comic genious.
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!

Good clean comedy, wonderful acting. I am 79 and enjoying every minute of it in far away RSA.

Sublime. Of course, this now means I have to watch the frontier doctor, brain surgeon and dentist sketches.....again!
Definitely a classic. No, we won't see comedy like this again.
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.

If you're going to quote, get it right! Nothing torpedo a joke more than getting the words wrong.
"The plane lost an engine."

They "lost" an engine...NOT fell off.
Never get tired watching these old school comedy. Truly classic. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Foster Brooks is hysterical.. not a foul word or anything.. just good clean comedy
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

Yep was going to say, Mr. Lahey is a modern classic
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.
This is pure golden comedy. We will laugh with this sketch and others by Dean Martin and Foster Brooks, for a long time to come. Fantastic.
One of my favorite skits of all time 😂
I could see this once a week and be in hysterics every time.
This is perfect..Brooks had nuance and incredible control...genius
Brooks’ professionalism really shines through, as he exits the stage with a bow. Bravo!
It always amazed me that Foster never broke character even while everyone around him were completely losing it
Mom& Dad used to laugh& laugh over Foster. Make my heart ❤️ warm...I miss yhem.....
Love how Dean was losing it, he was in tears!
I am an airline pilot and I watch this several times a week and it always cracks me up. Other airline pilots I know think it is hilarious.
I was too ! This sketch IS killing me !
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?

@@toniwilson1579 I just wonder if that wasn't the source of tension between the two of them. Jerry was good. Dean was better. A natural.
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.
Another true story on "Steve Wright in the afternoon"..........isn't it!!!!!!!!!
NO WAY??!! LOVE IT..
You can never have comedy like this. No f-word said, just pure comedy.
The great DEAN MARTIN is already cracking -up.....and so am I.
..
I remember howling with laughter when I was a kid watching these skits. Now at 64, I still laugh hysterically when I watch them. Foster was a genius. The man never broke character, even while Dean and the gang were damn near passing out from laughing so hard. R.I.P. Foster Brooks.
No one played a "lush" as well as the great Foster Brooks. and yes, Dean Martin is the epitome of cool
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
When you compared this and what we have today i seriously don't belive that we moved forward . Feels like we are in the wrong path for a very long time. Today people laugh only when someone swear in the show but look at this .. pure. I wish I could back there
One of the best comedy skits ever! I have seen it a thousand times and still laugh all the way through!!
I grew up watching this TV program.....
It was live TV, no censorship, just the real thing!
There was a documentary about this program, and how Dean Martin never reheared a show, but adlibbed almost everything you see!!!
Foster Brooks was a comic genius. I can't stop laughing and I love almost as much, watching Dean Martin's reactions.
Bless you foster. For the laughs and good times..you were a treasure..
Taking humor to new heights, priceless!
Kitty Kitty Yeah, high up there amongst all those “fluffy white things!”☁️✈️ (sorry, I couldn’t resist😉😂)
Two absolute classics of America, Dean and Foster
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
