I'm not sure I would define Don Rickles as the epitome of comedy. He was largely unique. It's not like he spawned generations and a plethora of insult comics (perhaps he spawned a dog).
Dean Martin got away with it as well. Davis Jr., Bishop and Lawford had their noses so far up Sinatra's butt they could smell his breath. But Dean was way too cool to go for all that.
I remember as a kid in the 70's I would wake up at night with my dad laughing loudly from the living room. One night I was curious as to what could be making my dad laugh. Now my pop didn't laugh very much, so I had to see. I crept out into the hallway and peeked around at the TV. There was Don Rickles on the Tonight Show throwing insults at Johnny, Ed, and Doc. Rest in Peace Don.
My room was the first room down the hall and I could sneak to the edge of my door and lay on the floor and watch Carson from my room. I got caught quite a few times because I fell asleep in my doorway. Wish I could get a ticket to travel back to those times for a week!!!
No one seems to realize this, but Don Rickles invented the mic drop. He's been doing it for decades. Mr. Warmth was actually that. A very warm person. And, he had one of the longest "Hollywood marriages" of all time. RIP Don Rickles 1929-2017
It’s very sad to see that my generation doesn’t know don rickles A LEGEND and I am one of the youngest ones in my family and and only listen to 60s through 80s music so sad to see things like this be forgotten RIP Don I won’t forget you
Usually things are supposed to evolve better but I feel everything in that era was better than what we have today. I sound like I'm an old man but just a kid here lol
Just listen to the audience with Sinatra on Tonight. They are screaming with laughter. It's hard enough to get a laugh onstage, but to have the audience literally screaming is astounding.
Anyone here in 2019? Two years since he’s been gone:( I’ve NEVER seen my dad laugh so hard I swear, this man has brought nothing but happiness. I mean come on, who else can joke around about Frank Sinatra’s gang?
I'll tell ya this. The guy never used qcards or a teleprompter in his life! He wasn't politically correct, but stars always say it's an insult not to be insulted by Don! He was a treat then & he still is one at 88 yrs!
Dean Martin said about his variety show where their were a lot of comedy skits with him and is guest stars: "There were only two guest stars who we never wrote a word for, Jonathon Winters and Don Rickles."
dude was so absolutely quick witted and knew how to walk that line between hilarious and offensive so well. truly a legend in my book, may he rest in peace.
Imagine, all these material and none of them were written beforehand, all spontaneous, every joke came to him in the moment. Can there ever be another Don Rickles? Not a chance!
Oh man, What a classic Tonight show. Sinatra hosting blew me away and then you got Rickles, the beautiful Angie Dickinson, George Burns and a quiet yet respectful Carrol O'Conner with, of course, Ed McMahon. Awesome and still grinning.
Now that he's gone, I'll never see him live, and I'll never be insulted by Don Rickles. My loss, I guess. Rest in peace, sir. Keep them laughing up there.
Rest In Peace Don Rickles ... I was blessed to meet you in person.You brought a lot of joy and laughter and you'll be remembered as one of the best comedians in our life time, they just don't make comedians like you. #R.I.P 🙏🏻
Hands down, Don Rickles was one of the greatest comedians of MY time. He taught me to be quick, something These young kids just don't know. He'll be missed very much.
Yes, Rickles was funny. As far as him being quick....I actually believe he was a little too quick, kinda like Robin Williams. They would say so much, so fast, that some of it really didn't make sense.
in the middle of a revolution as a young man from iran, when i'm trying to relax i'm in love with Sir Rickles. it's always Heart and mind treatment. i love his honest humor from his talented mind. RIP Dear Don and love ya
Thank you, Mr. Nichols, for posting here on UA-cam some special Don Rickles moments. I am sorry he's gone, as he was a treasure within the world of comedy, while representing the best of human nature (ironically).
Rickles was a Taurus like myself and quick wit that landed on target most of the time with anyone or anything he talked about! 60 years in Show Biz! ...I loved him the best on CARSON! I am 54 now and was still too young to see the late 60's stuff, but Don got better with age! I loved how he'd say how laid back his wife was! They had a son .( Larry) who passed at just 41 some 10+ years ago....God bless Don Rickles for all the JOY he truly brought us all !! He always ended his shtick' with love! Hall of Fame entertainer !!
I have been watching tv since the mid 60's and as an adult worked in marketing and actually selling cable television in it's early days and have never, ever, been so impressed as when watching and listening to Rickles monologues, he's the one who made me laugh,, no one else!! He even picked on my father when he saw him at Westbury Music Fare in Long Island!!! He is and will always be the G.O.A.T.
I grew up watching the great comedians like Don Rickles, George Burns, Rodney Dangerfield, George Carlin, Johnny Carson and I'm only 45 years old. Now I say I miss the old days
I barely came to know about Don Rickles about two months ago, and it is great shame to see him pass away. I am not a religious person, nor do I believe in God, but if heaven is a real thing; Rickles deserves to be there.
And you wonder why Frank, and everybody else, wanted Don on their show. He was showbiz pièce de résistance. All the way till the end of his life. Don was the one.
I didn't take Roman14032's comment literally; I believe he was alluding to Sinatra as a powerful force one would have needed to think twice before offending. Yet if you want to get to _mano a mano,_ it seemed to me Sinatra could have held his own, particularly after his "skinny" period, toward the late 1950s-1960s. That is, he wasn't so "tiny," but - here is what a Google search said about his height: _"Around 68% of the adult male population are within 3 inches"_ of Frank, _"falling within the typical range for an adult male.”_ Frank was a bit taller than Rickles, and also James Cagney. Everything is relative. .
Mike Hike, Frank was a big shot yes but never known for being a tough guy. He’d punch the odd guy but always had his body guard around. I love Frank, not putting him down at all.
"He's the definition of what a real comic is." -- Eddie Murphy
I'm not sure I would define Don Rickles as the epitome of comedy. He was largely unique. It's not like he spawned generations and a plethora of insult comics (perhaps he spawned a dog).
I didn't know Murphy said that; spot on, of course.
@Crazy Canuck You missed the point, I think. I didn't say he wasn't funny. Do you know what "epitome" means?
Don was the only one who can speak to Sinatra like that
Not really. The Rat Pack was all about busting balls...
Yeah man, Sammy Davis jr. was a class act too! (don't look at the eye...lol)
Dean Martin got away with it as well. Davis Jr., Bishop and Lawford had their noses so far up Sinatra's butt they could smell his breath. But Dean was way too cool to go for all that.
That’s a tired old line
I worked at Sinatra’s house once. He didn’t scare me. The 4 Italian guys outside leaning against his limo scared the shit outta me.
love Don....God bless him...thanks for posting!
He's the best
He is the best. We'll never see anyone like him again. Last of the Mohicans.

Don Rickles (1926-2017) You'll be truly missed sir! Thanks for the all laughs! "Master of the Insult"
Aah Mr. Warmth.
ua-cam.com/video/Pc-IINTMrDs/v-deo.html I'm a nice guy cover!
Don was a classic. You didn't grow up with parents in the 60's and 70's and didn't love him.
I remember as a kid in the 70's I would wake up at night with my dad laughing loudly from the living room. One night I was curious as to what could be making my dad laugh. Now my pop didn't laugh very much, so I had to see. I crept out into the hallway and peeked around at the TV. There was Don Rickles on the Tonight Show throwing insults at Johnny, Ed, and Doc. Rest in Peace Don.
Such a sweet memory that you shared. Thank you! Absolutely beautiful.
I would be in bed waiting to fall asleep, Johnny Carson opening music coming from living room.
nice memory. Thanks for sharing.
My room was the first room down the hall and I could sneak to the edge of my door and lay on the floor and watch Carson from my room. I got caught quite a few times because I fell asleep in my doorway. Wish I could get a ticket to travel back to those times for a week!!!
I remember my dad back then doing the same thing, laughing at Rodney Dangerfield on the Carson show. lol
No one seems to realize this, but Don Rickles invented the mic drop. He's been doing it for decades.
Mr. Warmth was actually that. A very warm person. And, he had one of the longest "Hollywood marriages" of all time.
RIP Don Rickles
1929-2017
Crashburn 32 He was actually born in 1926. He was 90 when he died. He'd have been 91 next month.
Imagine my embarrassment.
Best UA-cam comment. Thanks

Don practically invented roast

Frank i'm not that lonely...genius.
Rest In Peace Don Rickles. 1926 - 2017.
Watching Carol O’Connor lose it over Don’s wedding night joke was the perfect end to a great compilation video!
Rickles at his peak, nobody could keep up with him. Legend.

What a great era! Don and dozens of others. Thanks for these clips.
I'll tell ya this. The guy never used qcards or a teleprompter in his life! He wasn't politically correct, but stars always say it's an insult not to be insulted by Don! He was a treat then & he still is one at 88 yrs!
he would have been rioted these days with our PC SJWs parading around.
Scott A look at you and your fucking acronyms you're just as bad lol
bradda brudda Everybody knows what it means triggered boy
Dean Martin said about his variety show where their were a lot of comedy skits with him and is guest stars: "There were only two guest stars who we never wrote a word for, Jonathon Winters and Don Rickles."
Cue cards*
dude was so absolutely quick witted and knew how to walk that line between hilarious and offensive so well. truly a legend in my book, may he rest in peace.
You got that right!!
Lucky L ,its called humor.rickles had a tremendous funny mind.learn to appreciate talent.from robert,the s.f.giant fan
Walk what line?!? He never heard of that line. There were no lines for this badass!
Imagine, all these material and none of them were written beforehand, all spontaneous, every joke came to him in the moment. Can there ever be another Don Rickles? Not a chance!
Everything was whitten beforehand
@@user-sq2hg7nh9u no
Yo. Calm down. Even the first joke? Where a bag fell from the sky
He had writers,he wrote a lot himself and rehearsed them at home with his wife
Theo is just like don just listen to his interviews his stand up isn’t that great but his on the spot comedy is second to none
Thanks Don for all the laughs. Rest in Peace. Shalom
Tears are rolling down my face.......Don, you are dearly missed......
Thanks so much for posting these clips. Mr. S.

RIP, to this legend, he predated the current roasters which rely on being edgelords, Don had substance and an amazingly quick with.
'wit'
Will always love this guy!!!!! He is the definition of a G.O.A.T
Growing up in the 70s any time you got to see Don was a treat.
Just heard this legend died today 😢 RIP Don you're an American icon
honestly I can't think of anyone makes me laugh like this man I hope he's got 50 more years
you're a fucking jinx pal
SilverPulp half the fucking comment are jinxes
When I was a small boy, I got very excited when they announced Rickles on the Tonight Show- I always stayed up late for that !!
It makes me cry that we don't have this clean, great kind of humor anymore. :(
Rest In Peace Mr Warmth
Thanks for all the laughs.
Hands down, Don Rickles was one of the greatest comedians of MY time. He taught me to be quick, something These young kids just don't know. He'll be missed very much.
You just haven’t met the right young kids yet then
never again-- jokes are all racist- jew hate-- he/they its!
@@Turnheadcough and some kids are just WAY to fast for their own good .
Yes, Rickles was funny. As far as him being quick....I actually believe he was a little too quick, kinda like Robin Williams. They would say so much, so fast, that some of it really didn't make sense.
every moment with Don WAS a favorite.
I Just Adore Him😍😂 May He Rest in Piece❤️😔🙏
RIP in peace Don. Thanks for the hundreds of laughs.
One of our great pieces of Americana is now gone. Thanks for all the laughs, Mr. Warmth.
You have immortalized in comedy as the funniest man ever! RIP Don!
Only one Don - still with us. What a star
Rickles is the guy that famous people keep around because he's so funny!
Love this guy! Watched his vids every day on you tube.RIP
It's amazing that he can work without a script and be this funny! Great talent and comedian.
To Don Rickles; may his legend never die.

Fear57 that was funny asf
Don Rickles was a legend. Very funny. Do miss his humor.
He was quick witted and so animated in his delivery. Always Fun to watch him work the room. He will be missed.
Jimmy Kimmel - that Don Rickles tribute was beautiful. I was crying right along with you. Deepest Sympathy.
You'll be missed. RIP Don Rickles.
OMG I laughed till I cried !!! :)))))))))))
The Frank Sinatra interview had me in tears !!!
Don made Frank laugh with such gusto, and great to watch
RIP Don "Mr. Warmth" Rickles.
Broke the mold after they made him. RIP Don, thanks for the laughs.
Don Rickles R.I.P. :( QC
Unique, unsurpassed, never to be repeated...RIP Mr Rickles.
LOVE this man! No one holds a torch.
Legend has it, hes still following all of his sentances with "I tell ya this!"
Rickles was and is a comic genius.
Mr Rickles You were a LEGEND you are a LEGEND,
r.i.p MR Don RICKLES
Timeless talent, sheer perfection!
The entrance music makes him look like a bullfighter. hahaha
No one was exempt from his wonderful wit and sarcasm. What better tribute to pay a comedian than to say he made me laugh.
Don is magic.
RIP Don, you were the tops!

he was unreal one of the best ,can not be replaced
No one can make me laugh like the Great Don Rickles!! There will never be another one like him.
I have been watching tv since the mid 60's and as an adult worked in marketing and actually selling cable television in it's early days and have never, ever, been so impressed as when watching and listening to Rickles monologues, he's the one who made me laugh,, no one else!!

Rest easy, Don...you brought joy to many....
I grew up watching the great comedians like Don Rickles, George Burns, Rodney Dangerfield, George Carlin, Johnny Carson and I'm only 45 years old.
Now I say I miss the old days
They don''t make them like this anymore! Never wrote anything down & everything he said was off the cuff!
I barely came to know about Don Rickles about two months ago, and it is great shame to see him pass away. I am not a religious person, nor do I believe in God, but if heaven is a real thing; Rickles deserves to be there.
What a legend, HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS GUY BEFORE?!
What a legend !
go to your room and play with yourself. You don't need to watch it.
+george fish You just got your wish, sir! Now go fuck yourself.
George, no one likes you and you know it. Have a nice day.
Wilson, what are you doing here xD
R.I.P. Mr Rickles, Thank-you, for All the laughs, and making us All feel a hell of a lot better.
Watch Rickles over and over every night
Always be my favourite comedian ever! Miss you Don! You are hilarious!!! And this video!!! 😂😭😂😭😂
RIP Don.
Great clips of Rickles.
R.I.P.
Make God laugh
And you wonder why Frank, and everybody else, wanted Don on their show. He was showbiz pièce de résistance. All the way till the end of his life. Don was the one.
Don Rickles i can see his videos 24/7 love him
he only man alive who could talk to frank sinatra that way and walk away with all his teeth
roman14032 Frank was a big star but a tiny guy physically.
I didn't take Roman14032's comment literally; I believe he was alluding to Sinatra as a powerful force one would have needed to think twice before offending. Yet if you want to get to _mano a mano,_ it seemed to me Sinatra could have held his own, particularly after his "skinny" period, toward the late 1950s-1960s.

Rip Don thank you for the amazing comedy and humor you brought into this world. You will be missed.
