David luff ... So true when I am having g choric pain going on in my body. I get on UA-cam and watch a few of these and it really dose ease the pain to laugh
There is a difference, dear. Don Rickles did it with class. He wasn't offended when someone came back at him with an equally smart-alec remark. He could take it. It's always said, if you can't take it, then don't dish it out!
@David Clark I think the fact that America/ Hollywood money is kind of like a second income to him is what gives him to balls to repeatedly do that. "I'm a burn bridges?... oh well plenty of bridges I built in Europe."
@David Vazquez Rickles does it with style and want's people to smile. Gervais simply want's to hurt and insult people. Even though the jokes were meant as an insult, the way he did it (Rickles) made people laugh.
I love how on every single one of these roasts, Don Rickles manages to get the same joke in about Bob Hope being there because there is no war on. Cracks me up every single time.
I love these types of roasts! They were funny. People back then had a thick skin and didn’t get offended easily. When a guest or audience member walked into an event like that, they expected to have a joke(s) be made about them. Back then getting roasted by Ron Rickles was an honor and people loved him and respected him. It was always non-stop laughter with him. He was a true comical genius.
Saw Don Rickles in Vegas years ago.....it was the only show that I literally cried from laughing so hard! There was a Mexican gentleman in the audience and Don Said "are you a Mexican?" the guy said yes and Rickles said "Here's some mud, go finish your house!" thought I was gonna die!!
Calling Nipsy a Spade and Nipsy throwing it back to Rickles who says they will leave him alone because he tap dances is so damn good. Today they would crucify them for it.
Love Frank Sinatra or hate him, either way you still gotta give props to "the Chairman of the Board" for promoting Don in Don's early stand-up comedy career and giving Don a path to, and a permanent spot in, American pop culture.
@@joeygonzo Sinatra could be the world's biggest A-hole when he had a mind to be, but he had his redeeming qualities, too.

Lucille Ball loved the Ruth Buzzi lip sync with Don at the end! Classic. She was awesome. I love the real down to earth no make wrong we are all in it together roasts (laughing together connections) during this time.
@Gloria Garcia hey snowflakes...back then perhaps its not because if it did, there could have been riot immediately. but then speaking with people like you and those snowflakes, it is useless.
Was just a kid when all these roast came out in tv. Never appreciated it until now I’m almost 50 and realize this truly was the golden age of TV. Now we are stuck with kimmel etc
Ya and fallen and all the other fakes ....laughfter back then wasnt forced and people accepted race jokes , its funny we think we are moving forward but really we are more sensitive on any comment made on race now and we are going backwards , i cant make 1 joke about any race now or im racist , sad but true .
The look of surprise, the shocked glee and happiness at Rickles' boldness and quick wit. Wonder and joy is displayed here; A true glimpse of the real America, a sense of freedom and liberty that offers both nostalgia and yearning: days that passed for all of us to remember. Rickles lives on here, and with our smiles is immortal.
What a wonderful time we ALL had...it was PRICELESS and will not come back....I and everybody else will never forget and so glad to live through these times...mg do I miss it...
Siegrid Thomas I hear you. I am more of an 80s child, but I do have some memories from the 70s. Everything was different, more innocent. No DirectTv with steep fees. No internet, just 3 public networks from which one could watch lovely shows. Yes, I do miss it as well @Siegrid Thomas.
I think we could all learn something from Don Rickles. Hope he knew what a joy he was to so many. Love how at the end of all the roasts he shows what a caring and loving man he really was. Miss him❣️❣️
Don Rickles was hilarious!! There will never be people as funny as him,Rodney Dangerfield ,Ruth Buzzi and phyllis Diller to name a few! The great ones.
I love that Don goes down the list and that no one is off-limits. And you can tell everyone there is having a good laugh by the facial expressions. People today really need to get off their high horses and look at comedy in general. Comedians make fun of everyone and everything around them.
@@silverfox389 African Americans invented tap dancing during the slavery days to outwardly appear "happy" or "entertaining the white masters" but using the tapping noises to signal their fellows without the whites being privy. Before long, the tap dance became a standard in stage entertainment and white entertainers latched on to the new dance and incorporated it into their acts. But getting back to Don's comeback to Nipsey: sometimes Don's jokes fly over my head, too, and on this one I'm left guessing that Don's implying that Nipsey's "threat" of sending a mob to Don's house will be warded off when Don entertains the mob with a tap dance on the rooftop.
@@vincentsartain3061 I think you're giving Rickles too much credit. He was basically just saying "Haha, black folks and tap-dancing are related things."
@@kidlitfanful Could be, but somehow his entertainment colleagues of color weren't bothered. And of course most of the jokes were scripted and probably even rehearsed between Don and Nipsey and other black guest stars. Could be that in the several years following the civil rights movement that there was a honeymoon of sorts between the black community and most of white society. To be honest I think the 70's were the best decade as far as race relations go
In my opinion, ' Mr Warmth ' around that age was truly at the top of his 'game'...DAMN he was so good. RIP Mr Rickles, they'll never be another like you, ever...
Ruth Buzzi does not get enough credit for being the great comedienne that she is. She was great on "Laugh In" playing aside the great Arty Johnson's (May he rest in peace!) "Dirty Old Man". She can sing. And she's still going strong at the age of 85.
Much like today. Although we did have less whiny right wingers constantly whining about every little thing famous people do (unless they fall in line with right wing agendas, then they're infallible).
Genius, pure comic genius, and when she snogged him, well I fell off my chair!!! This is what this world needs right now, comic genius! XX ouch! My sides are hurting I've laughed so much!!!!
Some people deserves to live forever, this generation was the best one , this is what they mean when they said ladies and gentlemen, RIP ladies and gentlemen 🙏
Ruth was never what you would call a classic beauty. But you need to see her on “Laugh In” when she wasn’t playing her spinster character. She held her own with Goldie Hawn when it came to wearing miniskirts and bathing suits.
@sherry quilter. Not entirely true. Don Rickles did call the black man “a spade”; but not only was it obviously meant and accepted as a joke and the black man gave a come back.
Now we have someone like you always pointing out that the joke was never on Whitefolks unless they were Jews, Italians or Irish. In other words ETHNICS but never WASPS. Haha ha
He stated in his book that he hated racism and that the greatest way to combat it was to turn it into humor. If you could make people laugh, there was no malice or hatred. He took racism and turned it on its head. He knew you couldn't get rid of it, but he proved you could take racism and remove the hate from it. Sadly the world didn't catch on
Its nice to see how they were really well dressed and the polite manly haircuts unlike today’s comedians who look like clowns on stage using curses to make the audience laugh ..
Zzzzzzzzzz 🙄 change the fucking record. Oh no people arent constantly wearing suits and putting 10 gallons of oil in their hair and doing jokes that went stale 30 years ago. WHATEVER SHALL WE DO! CHANGE IS SO FRIGHTENING! 😭
Abdelhameed Alotaibi What do you and others fail to understand is these roasts or on one of the three networks and at the time there was no cursing and other things allowed. If you hear these roasts that were filmed in clubs Don Rickles and others curse just as much as everyone else. They were constrained to act a certain way on TV. And don’t get me wrong I love these roasts and Don Rickles is one of my favorites of all time but that’s just the facts
"Phyllis Diller, God has given you the way you look. Do not be ashamed of it. When you were born you probably hit the wall." Good lord, I couldn't breathe.
"What a night, who are we honoring?"
One of the best openings I've ever heard.
The timing!
Whenever feeling down just watch a few of these....
David luff ... So true when I am having g choric pain going on in my body. I get on UA-cam and watch a few of these and it really dose ease the pain to laugh
So right. I started watching and can't stop....
Not for me. Reminds me of some difficult times for black people.
David luff
Damn straight.
Agree
Im turning 38 in two days and i can't get enough of the days i never even experienced
Thank you for agreeing
I grew up in the 70s and watched all these live on TV. My father loved these roasts.
I miss the 60’s and 70’s, Dean Martin was the greatest.
Jason Those were very good years trust me.
I'm turning 31, agreed.
a lot of his material he used often but that delivery and his improvising just comedic
gold
Interesting
All comics recycle
The genius of it are all the small changes, so it's often different.
It is almost the year 2020 and I still come back and watch.... Legends forever.
And people get hot under the collar about Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes. Geez, Don Rickles set the bar long ago.
There is a difference, dear. Don Rickles did it with class. He wasn't offended when someone came back at him with an equally smart-alec remark. He could take it. It's always said, if you can't take it, then don't dish it out!
Chill Ricky is different than Don. Don roasts people at roasts where his victims where they thickest skin. Ricky be damn near bullying
@David Clark I think the fact that America/ Hollywood money is kind of like a second income to him is what gives him to balls to repeatedly do that.
"I'm a burn bridges?... oh well plenty of bridges I built in Europe."
Ricky Gervais is a douchebag. Don Rickles is a gentleman. Big difference there.
@David Vazquez Rickles does it with style and want's people to smile. Gervais simply want's to hurt and insult people. Even though the jokes were meant as an insult, the way he did it (Rickles) made people laugh.
lol love the Ruth Buzzy bit at the end...so sad we'll never see comedy like this again
You do know you can replay these videos right ?
Dean's facial expression while Ruth Buzzi is mauling Rickles is priceless.
Dean Martin’s probably thinking: I ain’t nearly drunk enough to find this attractive.
Rickles is the one who got roasted!
a lot of his material he used often but that delivery and his improvising just comedic
gold
Lol
I'm crying laughing OMG LOLLL
I love watching Don Rickles he makes me laugh when I am sad. God bless Don Rickles
Man! I could watch these roasts all day long....the golden era of American legends and their comedy 🙏
I love how on every single one of these roasts, Don Rickles manages to get the same joke in about Bob Hope being there because there is no war on. Cracks me up every single time.

So many legends are featured in this video, and it's sad knowing that Ruth Buzzi is the only one still living.
I love that reaction when Ruth is about to kiss him.. He is like ah shit.. its coming
vascetomysurgery
First he said it...
And he's still going for laughs 😂
The fact that Dean stood up and steped away to save his drink

When you hear Don Rickles you can be sure of one thing, you'll never stop laughing! :)
@Michael The American Patriot
I found that out when I looked up videos like this after he died... This man was a riot.
Calling Nipsy a Spade and Nipsy throwing it back to Rickles who says they will leave him alone because he tap dances is so damn good. Today they would crucify them for it.
Rightfully so.
No, they wouldn't. Rickles was a master and knew how to work a room.

Brilliant stuff. I've watched this at least a dozen times and still find it funny.

Omg, I haven’t stopped laughing the whole time, this is awesome!!
How could this only have 458 likes with a such a fabulous kiss at the end?!
😅😅😅
Funny as all hell! As much as I like the roasts of today. These roasts are epic. Such comedy, class and true humor ... Thank you all
Wonder of tech -- these people can still be with us.
Ahhh little touchy nowadays sista....where and when😎❤
Ruth Buzzi has me literally laughing out loud every time I watch the Lucille Ball roast. Just amazingly hilarious every time.
Ladies and gentlemen the great Don Riickles

i love ruth buzzi she was great. still hangin in there
Could watch these all night.
all of the comedians here... there will never be any like them.
I remember this one show with Lucy as the best of all the roasts. You could always depend on Don Rickles. He was made for that kind of show.
Miss this old time comedy - so damn funny! No one shouting racist, just fun!
You're so right. Now all we have are foul language, special effects and sexual innuendo to carry us through.

I hate it when a spade butts in. Only Don Rickles could get away with that
Because he made fun of everyone equally, including his own self 😅
Yes, he made fun of everyone BUT when it came to black actors he kept it racial. #SomeBS

Gotta love the back & for between Don & the spade, both class acts, a time long forgotten unfortunately.
