Used to watch these Dean Martin Roasts on Thursday nights at 10.00 on a school night. A bygone era of comedy before the cancel culture got a hold of it. And we'll never see it again. Thanks for uploading and letting us reminisce.
The only comedian in the world who did not have to say a word to kill the audience , walking on the stage was enough then you hear the roar of laughter , amazing .
As much as I am a great admirer of Foster Brooks, your statement is not quite true. Another comedian, Tommy Cooper, could also walk on stage, not say a word and still have the crowd in fits of laughter...too. Foster Brooks, however, had a unique talent of wordplay as a drunk, coupled with mannerisms and glances that was so, so funny, that even the great Don Rickles would laugh out loud. Now THAT is a special talent when you can reduce other ‘roasters’ to tears.
@@pumpkinpuna4087 I don't even watch the 46th anymore. It is too sad. It is too sad that he was ever elected and it is too sad that there are people who still support him even though he is obviously not in his right mind when you watch his press conferences.
I just struck gold falling upon this. I was born in 1962 so did not have the opportunity to appreciate this to the degree I can now. Love it! And what a difference in definition of "mega star" between then and now. Now, not even close to the grace, style and class this generation had. God bless them all.
Dad used to let me stay up late when these roasts were on, just so I could watch Foster Brooks. Dad and I watched together, laughed together, and then laughed again. RIP Mr. Brooks, one of the funniest, classiest entertainers there ever was.
Yeah I watched these with my dad too. He loved Foster Brooks. I show him these clips occasionally when I'm home to Ohio to visit him and when he was in Texas a few months last year. I crack up at all of them but especially this and the Sammy Davis and Don Rickles roasts. And it's funny how so many of these comedians were from Ohio-Dean Martin, Phyllis Diller, Jonathan Winters, Paul Lynde, Bob Hope(born in England, raised in Cleveland) And they were funny without feeling they had to cuss.
This is Foster Brooks absolute best comedy bit he ever did! Very classy, especially as he danced with subtle double entendres. You can tell Lucy genuinely loved it.
I did then and I still do now, not a cuss word in the skit, the one and only Foster Brooks and like all the rest that didn't have to curse to be hilarious and then the 80's showed up and it's been down hill ever since.
"I still have the hots for ya, Cherry Head" Sweetest line EVER! The only man I know that can reduce the likes of Don Rickles to tears, let alone everyone on that dais. Impeccable talent.
@Wookie8058 he used to drink. A friend bet him 10 dollars to never drink again. The person who never drank was Otis the town drunk on the Andy Griffith show.
Love this man. He’s just hilarious. The “loose” joke cracks me up every time I watch this clip. Living in the uk I never got to see these so thanks for posting. I think I’ve watched every one of Foster can’t get enough. Also his skits on the dean Martin shows are pure class. A by gone era of classic comedy tv. Just watch and enjoy. Should be prescribed on the national health for all.
Yeah...we(the USA) didn't get Benny Hill until after the fact either. Class comedians, and pure genius. If it wasn't Flosser...er, Frosted...er, Frisbee...er, Mr. Brooks killing them, it was Don Pickles...er, Rickles!
Totally agree with you - esp the roasts of Don Rickles and Lucille Ball - he broke character for a second when he looked at Lucy or heard her laugh - just a second, but first time ever that he did that. I ❤ Foster Brooks.
Of the many countless hysterical roasts he concocted, this one was perhaps his funniest, along with Sinatra's... He was just simply brilliant, with his drunken sway of mispronunciations and heartburn hiccups...Never had to curse at or directly insult anyone to roast 'em well-done, and he often got the dais and the crowd laughing before he ever spoke! My generation were blessed to have had the best music ever, the best entertainment variety ever, and the best comedians ever...Thanks, FB 💝
Pure genius! Foster Brooks has me in tears! Can’t stop laughing!!! I’m a 90s baby who loves watching the greats! Wish I could time travel to attend one of these roasts. I’ve been watching them back to back for days now on Tubi 🤩
This is my favorite roast from Foster to Lucy. Quick, clean one liners that leaves them rollin'. I can't help but to smile from ear to ear watching this...
This would be Jack Benny’s final appearance as he died on 12/26/1974 and this aired in early 1975. Just some trivia there. Love Foster Brooks. He’s so funny and used to have an annual golf tournament in Louisville Kentucky 😊
The way Dean receives Foster Brooks when he 'stumbles' to the mic shows they had a great friendship and true admiration for each other, Dean knew this guy was going to put him and everyone else in the dais in stitches and Brooks always delivered, never dissapointed. He was so talented and funny !!! And when he finished his 1-derful act he abandoned his character and turned into the gentleman he undoubtedly was in real life, hugging the honoree with sincere affection, this time he gallantly and respectfully kissed Ms Lucy's hand.
By all accounts, Foster was an extremely kind and humble gentleman, even after becoming famous. On Johnny Carson, he talked with fondness about going back to visit his old friends in Louisville, and the fact he was still the same person.
I have watched Foster Brooks roasts over and over. At least 20-30times for each roast. My fave has to be Sammy Davis Jr. But when I'm down and I want a good laugh I turn to Foster Brooks. Alot of great comedians out there but he is a classic and a original. Wish he was still here today. He was the best (my opinion only). Thank you Mr Brooks for the laughs!
If FB was here TODAY (2022), he’d be cancelled in seconds: that “cocoon” joke would’ve had FB crucified on social media, and his career would be OVER……
My 3 favorite roasts by Foster Brooks:1. Lucille Ball, 2. Don Rickles 3. Sammy Davis Jr. I'll watch these 3 every week for the next 4 years - till new election. Actually I Love Lucy which I saw at age 6 when it first came out in 1951 got me thru covid-19.
I grew up watching this with my grandpa ... the best comedy around .. real comedy ... today's comedians can learn from watching these videos on how to make people really laugh and have a good time .. not that today's comedy is bad .. it's just not the same kind of laughter ... thank you for the awesome videos and memories ...
One of the few times that you see Foster Brooks laugh and break character. If I could only go back in time and witness just one of these first hand. To be in the presence of pure comedy and acting.
I seriously don't know how Foster was able to regain control so fast!!!! Absolutely HYSTERICAL!!! I would watch these with my dad, and he would absolutely fall apart in absolute HYSTERIA!!! We would both be laughing so hard... almost sobbing uncontrollably!!!! What a truly amazing feeling!!!
Look how much time has passed. When Dean introduced Foster he said meet the man who has been Lucy's fiance since 1933. So Foster Brooks and Lucy have been engaged to be married for 90 years, and they're still not married today.
When I was a kid, my folks would watch those roasts, but I would play in my room until Foster Brooks came on. That was my favorite part of the show. Miss those days.
I've just watched four of these. Roasts of Sammy Davis Jr, Johnny Carson etc and what really stood out the most, not once did he swear. Not once. And it was funnier for it.
Yes guys like Don Rickles and Foster Brooks would never be able to say the kinds of things they did if just starting out in today’s “woke” generation!!
So true! Could you imagine some of these guys just starting out today with their comedy?? The “woke” crowd would be going crazy calling for them to be removed from tv.
Foster Brooks in real life never drank. True. He was brilliant. Miss those roasts. Hollywood greats in their heyday. God ... please send me back in time.
Yep. But when he quit, it was permanently. Gotta give him Respect for that! He learned his "Lovable Lush" routine from his Father--who was exactly that.
He must be classed with the greatest comedians ever. His timing was perfect, and he played the 'drunk' as only one who had been there and beat the demon could. Fantastic
I love how he goes through all of that opening stuff before saying, "Hello, Lucille Ball!" and actually starting his speech. Just hilarious, and arguably the best performer there ever was at playing a comedic drunk.
What a guy so funny I'm looking at moments of foster Brooks and cant stop laughing such a talent. It's a shame comedy has lost such great people and I am so grateful for these videos cheers 👍👍👍
Hilarious comedy at its best. The present day comics don’t hold a candle to those of that era. Polished, professional & perfect timing. I feel SO lucky to have been brought up in those years. I miss those days. It’s just not the same anymore.
Man what show.and dean and foster Brooks and who ever they were ribbing just good wholesome comedy. What iconic show.miss u dean and foster and all super guestmpure clean comedy.long lost.
It's no wonder no one wanted to follow Foster Brooks.... "Remember, Lucy, you shook your pom-poms at me? And she wasn't even a cheerleader!" He always went last. Then came the Revenge Roast. Such TALENT on that stage! FAR BETTER than we have today. R.I.P. to all we have lost along the way. THANK YOU for the Laugh's. You are still Loved & Missed. God Bless.
I'm so pleased you have posted these comedy great clips. I live in the UK and we didn't get Dean's Show. But I'm so grateful I've some now. Foster Brooks was hilarious. I miss hi. Thank you
Alan Chapman When I was a kid some time before I started school I used to watch Saturday morning cartoons and Saturday night British comedies. It's getting on my nerves how my local PBS station (channel 13, of course) is no longer airing Doctor Who. It seems everything good is folding up and being replaced by stuff that only strokes the egos of whoever made it.
@@williamnorton9547 Me too!! In the 70's - 80's I watched with my Dad, "Dave Allen at Large", "Benny Hill", "The Paul Hogan show". Then around '85 Mtv started showing "The Young Ones" and I was hooked!! I've watched those 12 episodes so many times, I can almost quote every episode, line for line.
Brooks and Don Rickles made the show “work.” Sometimes these were specials, but one year it was a weekly replacement series for the summer (this particular roast was one of those summer episodes).
"...Lassie..I mean Lucy..." - "...how 'bout you Loose?...That's what the football team used to call her...." - "...I still got the hots for you Cherry head..." - phucking hilarious. Foster is the man with his shtick!

There are manay comedians who could walk on stage and immediately bring uproarious laughter. Your statement is vastly exaggerated.
@@maximillianosaben Indeed. Mr Bean comes to mind first. Also Chris Farley
I just struck gold falling upon this. I was born in 1962 so did not have the opportunity to appreciate this to the degree I can now. Love it! And what a difference in definition of "mega star" between then and now. Now, not even close to the grace, style and class this generation had. God bless them all.
I’m on a Foster Brooks marathon.... Genius...
Me too.
Same 😄 🤣 😂
You too ? 😂
He's sooooo addictive!
Agreed, more than genius!
Love these legends. Pray they all laughing together again
I can watch over and over again and never get tired of this one.
Me too.
my favorites were Foster Brooks roasting Lucille Ball and Don Rickles - could not stop laughing tho seen them many times over the years
My dad got me into these roasts and foster brooks has been a favorite of mine for 5 years now
I miss Foster. He was the best comedian of his time. No one played a drunk better than him.
Otis in Mayberry?
layey was pretty good
He's my favorite also
@@randymillhouse791 His scripts were much more limited and likely weren't even his own.
Any one that can make Don Rickles laugh his ass off is aces!!
True. Don Rickles was ruthless. To see him laugh uncontrollably in these roasts is pure joy.

A T Morgan ... Amen, a true talent!
I almost wish I was famous back then so I could get roasted by this guy!
My dad and I as well. I didn’t know what drunk was but seeing my dad crying laughing made me laugh as well . RIPDad.
This is Foster Brooks absolute best comedy bit he ever did! Very classy, especially as he danced with subtle double entendres. You can tell Lucy genuinely loved it.

Me, too. 🙋🏻♀️
Foster Brooks is the best of the best.
Mr Brooks best jokes the loudest clapping on the show class class class
...I've got to add Charlie Callas is one, as well.
I miss this guy, Foster is pure Gold of comedy. Rest in joyous peace buddy.
I must have watched Foster Brooks' roast of Lucille Ball at least 10 times over the years - laugh hard every time. T/Y
Foster Brooks is so crazy, that they shouldn't let him in! Right now I'm binging on him! I'm crying like all of those folk on stage! My word!
So much class present. Henry Fonda, Nipsy Russel, Bob Hope, Rowan and Martin etc. etc. Those were the days.
A lot of the dais shots are copies of other roasts, bob hope wasn’t at this roast. But agree it’s great to see the greats at work!
"I still have the hots for ya, Cherry Head"
Sweetest line EVER!
The only man I know that can reduce the likes of Don Rickles to tears, let alone everyone on that dais.
Impeccable talent.
He calls her "fire follicles" as well. =D
never stopped laughing,every line was funny,his timing was perfect,and he actually wasn't a drinker just a very talented comedian
He was a sober man. never touched alcohol. But booooy he had the act damn well rehearsed...
@Wookie8058 he used to drink. A friend bet him 10 dollars to never drink again.

"I'll bet you didn't expect to see me here tonight did you big red?" Lol.
J MO baaahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Lucille reacted with genuine surprise and gracious acceptance of the humour
Remember this is also 2 years after "big red" Secretariat won triple Crown. So there's a little extra on that comment too.
"...cocoon....cocolored" PURE GENIUS word play
One of the great roasts of all time. Every line was written and delivered with precision.
Cool
"I remember the first time I scored"
Don Rickles ROTFL
"TOUCHDOWN!' 😂
"Loose. What, that's how the football team used to call her".
Real comedy will never die. We need to do a better job of preserving these moments in time.
This is my favorite roast from Foster to Lucy. Quick, clean one liners that leaves them rollin'. I can't help but to smile from ear to ear watching this...
When Foster Brooks roasted Don Rickles it was a classic also !

FOSTER BROOKS at the 3:38 mark: Say yes to my offer and I will deliver unto thee eternal bliss. You say no and I'll just fiddle with you on weekends.
"You shook your pom poms at me. She wasn't even a cheer leader!" ROFL! Foster Brooks MADE these roasts the success they were!

Foster Brooks was the anchor they could always count on.
I've never seen anyone like Foster Brooks that can get so much for so long out of a 'drunk' routine! Genius.
I've just watched four of these. Roasts of Sammy Davis Jr, Johnny Carson etc and what really stood out the most, not once did he swear. Not once. And it was funnier for it.
Blair Hinton These were shown on NBC, so they couldn’t curse......but you’re right, they didn’t need it to be hilarious
I watched four of these in a row, and it felt like I just did 500 sit ups.
They were not allowed to swear on TV
Get over yourself. Nothing wrong with cursing. This super dirty back then and they cussed like sailors
You got to see the one where they roast Don Wrickles.
I’m 63 and I Crack Up like a Kid watching these videos.

Exactly! And Nipsey Russell was well loved for his sense of humor!

Classic comedy that has stood the test of time.
LOVE Foster Brooks. The best!!
Pure Greatness right there.. Room full of pure Talent. Good clean very very funny people.
Foster Brooks was a genius and a pro!!!! I wish today's comedians made me laugh as hard as Mr. Brooks does!!!
The best part of any of these roasts is watching Don Rickles laugh.
A legend appreciates another legend.
Agree great comedy
Yeah but he got as good as he gave!
"Remember when you shook your pom-poms at me? And she wasn't even a cheerleader." LOL
OMG, I remember these so well. The stuff they got away back then is epic!
In my opinion, the Best comedy bit Foster Brooks did for any of the Roasts.
Foster Brooks in real life never drank. True. He was brilliant. Miss those roasts. Hollywood greats in their heyday. God ... please send me back in time.
Yep. But when he quit, it was permanently. Gotta give him Respect for that!
He learned his "Lovable Lush" routine from his Father--who was exactly that.
He must be classed with the greatest comedians ever. His timing was perfect, and he played the 'drunk' as only one who had been there and beat the demon could. Fantastic

Some the best and greatest comedians of all time on that program! Clean humor that is totally lacking in today’s comedians!
When I was a kid my dad took me every year to The Foster Brooks Celebrity Golf Tournament he held here in Louisville. Always fun.
If you don't laugh at these you are dead
Ron Shuler0
If you dont find that funny...you need to get the heck outta here!!!
It's shit mate if the dude didn't pretend to be drunk poorly done may I add its just shit
Great memories, I remember watching this show during it’s first run. Harmless jokes with no harm intended. Priceless!
Humor with CLASS. When one could still laugh at themselves while bowling over in laughter. Please please bring back that era. 😎
They might have to drop the 'coon' joke. Lol
When comedians actually put some thought into their act. Thank you for posting this!
You're welcome
BRILLAINCE.
You dont watch the right comedy. This is terrible compared to the greats of today.
I have watched this so many times I've lost count, it is brilliant.
I loved watching this man. His performance was pure comic genius. Thank you, Mr. Brooks!
so funny , am crying with laughter foster brooks is a legend
I'm literally going down the rabbit hole on Foster, this is literally the best 😂🤣😂

***** Thanks Brian for the comment. I have not seen the Hubert Humphrey roast, but I know that it would be as good as the other Foster Brooks roast.
Mr. Brooks' facial expressions are absolutely fitting and hilarious.
Absolutely galaxy class 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll never forget the first time I scored .... TOUCHDOWN!! LOLOLOLOL!!!
When he says that he's in character pointing out that he meant touchdowns and everyone else is dirty for thinking otherwise.
I love how Dean Martin looks like he's laughing so hard it hurts.
Absolute classic.
A true comedic genius! Much missed.
It's no wonder no one wanted to follow Foster Brooks....
"Remember, Lucy, you shook your pom-poms at me? And she wasn't even a cheerleader!"

When I was a kid some time before I started school I used to watch Saturday morning cartoons and Saturday night British comedies.
It's getting on my nerves how my local PBS station (channel 13, of course) is no longer airing Doctor Who.
It seems everything good is folding up and being replaced by stuff that only strokes the egos of whoever made it.
@@williamnorton9547 Me too!! In the 70's - 80's I watched with my Dad, "Dave Allen at Large", "Benny Hill", "The Paul Hogan show". Then around '85 Mtv started showing "The Young Ones" and I was hooked!! I've watched those 12 episodes so many times, I can almost quote every episode, line for line.
Nobody can play a drunk like Foster Brooks the man had a talent lol.....

Brooks and Don Rickles made the show “work.” Sometimes these were specials, but one year it was a weekly replacement series for the summer (this particular roast was one of those summer episodes).
the finest comedic mind ever-he worked hard at his craft to be the best their ever was
Absolutely Fantastic 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
"...Lassie..I mean Lucy..." - "...how 'bout you Loose?...That's what the football team used to call her...." - "...I still got the hots for you Cherry head..." - phucking hilarious. Foster is the man with his shtick!
He was one of the best ever!
2:20 his joke about the cocoon was outrageous! Brilliant
I love Foster Brooks
