I met Don Rickles a few years ago at the old Riviera in Las Vegas. I extended my hand, and said, "Mr. Rickles, it's an honor to meet you, Sir. I grew up enjoying your work." He shook my hand, looked me straight in the eye, and said: "Kid (mind you, I was in my 30s at this point), you're too darn young to know who I am! Who put you up to this? Your grandmother?" He grinned and I laughed hard.
@@shashankchoudhary3436 Yeah what Shashank says. It was Frank who got Rickles the job. He mentions the story in an interview with Larry King from 2014.

I find all of these old school roasts so absolutely amazing. They are so incredibly funny with no swearing or vulgarity. They were all so talented. Thanks to all of them for so many laughs over and over again.
On our local network, "decades" they play Dean Martin's roast of actors and Actresses. Whomever it might be. it's just wonderful! Comedy that brings me to tears, and there's also tears of sadness that our society has come to this point where we can't even have fun anymore. WHAT HAPPENED!
Definitely a different class of humor you won’t find today. Of course today thanks to cancel culture and the woke crowd, you aren’t allowed to be remotely funny anymore
If Andrew Dice Clay would tone his act down a few notches, he could start to come on par with Rickles. Be he's just too abrasive and his style is brutal.
@Bruce Wayne i love how u believe all the deep state bullshit but probably think trumps slate is completely clean. Its pathetic your politicians failed you so badly that you have to turn to conspiracy theories to justify supporting them
One of the many things that made Reagan one of the last great Presidents. Man had a good sense of humor. Won’t find politicians today take a joke, especially on the left.
The Life Of Cydre Haha Right..But This Was Setting Him Up To Be The Greatest President Of All Time Won 49 Out Of 50 States Reelection in 84'.That's Why The 80's Rocked So Much, Incredible, Perceptive, Understanding, Knowledgeable President Ronald Wilson Reagan. We Salute You ! 🇺🇸

Well it also probably helped that back then saying those 7 dirty words was just not allowed, they would've gotten in serious trouble for even approaching them so it required them to work around it. That restriction isn't around so people can just go for the jugular which sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
No one, absolutely no one, has made me laugh more than the great Don Rickles. Whenever I'm down mentally, I watch his roasts that comfort me more than anything could.
Cause Reagan was WEAK. Trump is a strong president. Trump would never allow a political hit job like this. Reagan just sat their and even laughed. So weak...
@@ericg4915 Or maybe Reagan was secure in himself, realised what roasting was all about and wasn't the least bit offended. Trump is too weak a character to even have the nerve to sit there in Reagan's place.
Danny Tat...This roast was so funny, tears were in my eyes from laughing. I didn't even think about the lack of vulgarity, till you brought it up....you are right.
I'm so old now I remember watching all these roasts when they were broadcast for the first time. :) "Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance forever and a day".
the most sensitive person currently is the current President of the United States of America. So yeah, no one is going to be changing soon when the most powerful person in the country is the person that will be the most butthurt from criticism.
he has a way of being brutally critical without cussing.. that was classic Rickles. His jokes were so well crafted, his instincts so good, he didn’t need to cuss and frankly, after you watch it the first time, you actually think he must have cussed, but he didn’t. We miss you Don.
@@darylthomas7317 okay, but there is still nothing wrong with cussing. That's like a boxer beating his opponent with just one hand, it's impressive, but unnecessary.
@Reece A I'm not. I mean people in general. Conservatives, post-modern liberals, libertarians, communists, and fascists are all offended by something. People is just a broad term. You prove my point. 😉
Yes and he and Lasorda were personal friends. Actually this Show is from 1973 I believe and Lasorda was still the 3rd base coach for the Dodgers who were still managed by the great Walter Alston at the time. Dean also had many connections to the Dodger organization as well.
@@2012jaysean you really think just because they are supposedly serving us, they just work 16 hours a day, sleep 8 then rinse and repeat for their entire term? When shit is falling apart and they're doing non work related stuff is when it's an issue. There's also public view to be taken into account. One could argue it is beneficial to his public perception. He did actually become president. Not a Reagan fan. Just call ketchup a vegetable so kids get more "produce" at school? Get real, the guy had some bad ideas and people at the time just didn't seem to care. Im not trying to rag on you, this just kind of came out stream of consciousness
The great Don Rickles. My father loved Rickles. We would watch the Roasts in the 70's and laugh at Rickles until we couldn't breathe and our eyes watered. There is just something hilarious about someone saying exactly what they are not supposed to in public.
This is how you roast someone. No vulgar terms with profanity laced tirades. Just good natured humor. These shows were a gass and still leave me in stitches.

So this guy walks into a bar in Argentina. He's there on business, works for a travel agency. He sidles up on a stool and orders a rum & coke. As he's waiting on his drink, he glances to his right and sees this old man who looks strikingly like Adolf Hitler, the German fürher of yesteryear. Led the NSDAP government, got in trouble with the international banking network and whatnot. There was a war about it at one time. So he sees this guy and as he's handed his drink, he thanks the bartender and thinks to himself this guy looks about the age Hitler might be if he were alive to this day. He remembers hearing some theories about the man escaping death and fleeing to South America, he always thought it was ludicrous, but his curiosity is piqued as he's faced with this old man who resembles the fella so much. Lots of wrinkles, no moustache, but he could've been old Adolf's twin. So the guy sips his cokey morgan and musters up the will to start a conversation. He looks at the geezer and he says "Hey man do you speak English?" The man looks at him and nods. "Ja. I speak English, how are you?" "I'm doing well," he says "Hey I don't mean to be insulting, but has anyone ever told you you look a lot like Adolf Hitler?" The old man smiled and looked unfazed "Oh ja, I have been tolt zis." The travel agent thinks to himself what a coincidence it is that this old man seemed to have an authentic German accent. He says "No offense. You German?" The old man nods again. "Ja." The agent asks his name. To his shock the old man replies "Mein name ist Adolf." The bartender glances over inconspicuously as he wipes down the bar a few feet away. The travel agent feels a strange new feeling in the pit of his stomach. A mixture of disbelief, anxiety and fascination. He tries not to let it show as he says "You must be pulling my leg." The elderly man says "No, I am Adolf Hitler. I can tell you because nobody believes me." The agent doesn't know what to say. Here's this guy who could very well be the monster he's heard about all his life. This frail, unassuming senior with the German accent is telling him he's Adolf Hitler. He's just drinking beer in a dim everyday bar at the bottom of the map. The agent asks the old man "How can you tell me so casually that you're Adolf Hitler? The nazi leader? The man who led a charge to take over the world in world war two?" The elderly Hitler says "Please, mein memory ist not what it used to be. I vas ze leader of Chermany and I did have to go to war." The agent feels sick as he asks the most pressing question on his mind- "...How can you live with yourself after murdering 6 million innocent people for nothing?" The former fürher looked again unfazed "What are you speaking of? Zat must be someone else!" The agent couldn't believe it. He looked around just to see if he were the only one hearing this. He looked back to the old man who looked positively innocent in light of the situation. He persisted "You mean to tell me that you don't remember systematically killing SIX MILLION people? You just forgot?" A sad, distant look came into the elderly Hitler's face. "...I can't imagine doing zis horrible thing...even vith all ze power... It can not be..." He was silent for seconds that seemed like eternity. The agent was incredulous "As the leader of the Nazis you ordered the murder of 6 million Jews! It's what you are known for the world round and why you must have come down here to hide from!" A spark of familiarity was seen in the elderly Hitler's eyes. "Jews?" He lifted his mug with a shrug "Yeah, sounds like something I would do."
As I was growing up, in the 50s, ALL of the greatest comics were Jewish. We lived in Brooklyn and had live "Your Shows of Shows" on our TV in 1950. Then, my parents told me about the Catskills' resorts. There were so many great Jewish comics who "cut their teeth" in the Catskills I cannot name them all. BUT, to me personally, the finest of all of them wasn't necessarily just a "stand-up" comic, but more of a writer. This guy could also act, too. If I ever saw his name in a Cast listing, I knew the movie would be good. That man is Carl Reiner! My wife and I watch my favorite comic movie, The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming, several times a year. And, I don't think he wrote any of it. He just played Whitaker Walt perfectly. Oh, Alan Arkin wasn't bad, either.
Rickles was firing on all cylinders here. And seeing Jack Benny lose it..... priceless. As sick as Jack was, I'd like to believe that his laughing like this took his pain away for a while and gave him more time.
@@tunissaadia8064 No, it means one thing. There's a group of evil people that run the world (which is 100% true) that you peasants dare not ever question.

@@joshuabrooks4907 I mean, for the most part sure, since they did not want the relationship public. But Eva did marry Hitler a day or two before the actual suicide, so David is correct.
The issue with that joke today is that it's a marriage joke. Those jokes are very uncommon now adays, and saying a marriage joke about another mans (albeit fictional) wife is a joke I haven't heard in a very long time. The fact that Dean Martin chose it to be about Eva Braun is genius and fits perfectly into todays comedy.
@@TheLocoUnion Not correct Rickles was joking about Reagan's age. This roast was in the early 70s; Reagan was already in his 60s then, and a full 14 or 15 years older than Rickles.
@@weldinIt's not an easy task to do clean comedy. It takes work and timing. I'm an entertainer where you can bring the entire family out to watch my show. I have my set jokes. I have my set humorous stories to share. They say truth is stranger than fiction and that is so spot on.

I can remember so many people just waiting for the roasts. We waited if we could to go to the bathroom. These were great days of comedy. I still think they stand head and shoulders above the young performers. There is something special about comedy that springs from wit

The art of Don Rickles was that he was not a mean spirited person in real life at all. Just the opposite. And this characteristic actually was evident to his "targets" even when he delivered his "insults." As Rickles himself acknowledged, if he really felt hostility, it wouldn't be funny. Unfortunately, today's "hate school" of so-called "comics" completely miss this point, which is why they will never be as funny as Don Rickles was.

This roast puts RR just two degrees of separation from a load of gangsters. You know, it was his changing of the tax code, and not 'Star Wars' which did in the Soviet system. All those Russian oligarchs needed access to western markets and a place to re-establish their power-base as they stole the assets of their own nation in their sham change-over to a democratic political system. Changing the tax code allowed them to create massive fortunes in a very short time in the US without facing the safe-guards established by Roosevelt to counter another capitalist crisis the likes of which plunged us into over a decade of economic depression. The Soviet oligarchs needed to hide the money out of country so no foreign service could launch a counter-coup exposing the theft and showing where domestic rivals might expose and retrieve the assets. You should read, Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer. The Soviets used Armand Hammer to smuggle funds out of Soviet Russia and into the west to fund covert operations. Armand Hammer met with high level mafia criminals engaged in bootlegging and helped them create laundering schemes to purchase legitimate entities. The Soviets had the goal of setting up a commercial contract for ammonium nitrate to bring their agricultural industry into the twentieth century--hoping to defeat the west by boosting their populations, through sheer strength of numbers. Armand Hammer was even known to have met with Meyer Lansky in Cuba. Meyer was the defacto head of the mafia while Lucky Luciano was in exile... because Meyer had organized a scheme whereby the various bosses could clean their dirty money through the purchase of legitimate businesses from a slush fund established in a Swiss bank account. The Italians wouldn't take orders from a Jew, unless that Jew was showing them how to make a fortune in legitimate dollars. When JFK was assassinated, MI6 had a book published under a phony name, which detailed a study they had compiled which came to the conclusion that the assassination could've been funded by a coalition of fifty investors. Further, Birobidzahn was an early Bolshevik experiment with a Jewish state. Jewish gangsters were given the incentive of working toward the establishment of a Jewish state. Something Andrei Gromyko takes no small credit for. As the Soviet ambassador to the UN, in recognizing the fledgling state, even as it was stealing the homes of Palestinians to accomplish this. But this roast is funny.

Danny Tat...This roast was so funny, tears were in my eyes from laughing.
I didn't even think about the lack of vulgarity, till you brought it up....you are right.
um see his vegas shows....one of the greatest dirty comics of all times
That's not even the worst part. Back in the day there was no PC BULL$HIT to keep anything off limits! You could make a joke about anything and anyone.
I'm so old now I remember watching all these roasts when they were broadcast for the first time. :) "Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance forever and a day".
Back when people were people, humor was funny and 99% didn't get butthurt over political incorrectness or "microaggressions"
We didn't have either of those things back then either.
Back when whites would get disgusted if a black man drank from the same fountain. LMAO
the most sensitive person currently is the current President of the United States of America. So yeah, no one is going to be changing soon when the most powerful person in the country is the person that will be the most butthurt from criticism.
Good times. Very good times!

he has a way of being brutally critical without cussing.. that was classic Rickles. His jokes were so well crafted, his instincts so good, he didn’t need to cuss and frankly, after you watch it the first time, you actually think he must have cussed, but he didn’t. We miss you Don.

The guy he’s talking about in the audience is Tommy Lasorda - manager of the Dodgers.

Find out what is happening.
Yes and he and Lasorda were personal friends. Actually this Show is from 1973 I believe and Lasorda was still the 3rd base coach for the Dodgers who were still managed by the great Walter Alston at the time. Dean also had many connections to the Dodger organization as well.

One could argue it is beneficial to his public perception. He did actually become president. Not a Reagan fan. Just call ketchup a vegetable so kids get more "produce" at school? Get real, the guy had some bad ideas and people at the time just didn't seem to care. Im not trying to rag on you, this just kind of came out stream of consciousness
The great Don Rickles. My father loved Rickles. We would watch the Roasts in the 70's and laugh at Rickles until we couldn't breathe and our eyes watered. There is just something hilarious about someone saying exactly what they are not supposed to in public.
"something hilarious about someone saying exactly what they are" - and something sad about people losing the ability to count to 2.
These are real actors who had class. So sad they are all gone and all we have left are a bunch of cry babies in Hollywood.

Not that long after the war also
+Crosstownrock3 a lot of the entertainers back then actually served during ww2
klaytonrocks shut the fuck up insensitive, and who says that?
So this guy walks into a bar in Argentina. He's there on business, works for a travel agency.
He sidles up on a stool and orders a rum & coke. As he's waiting on his drink, he glances to his right and sees this old man who looks strikingly like Adolf Hitler, the German fürher of yesteryear. Led the NSDAP government, got in trouble with the international banking network and whatnot. There was a war about it at one time. So he sees this guy and as he's handed his drink, he thanks the bartender and thinks to himself this guy looks about the age Hitler might be if he were alive to this day. He remembers hearing some theories about the man escaping death and fleeing to South America, he always thought it was ludicrous, but his curiosity is piqued as he's faced with this old man who resembles the fella so much. Lots of wrinkles, no moustache, but he could've been old Adolf's twin. So the guy sips his cokey morgan and musters up the will to start a conversation.
He looks at the geezer and he says
"Hey man do you speak English?"
The man looks at him and nods.
"Ja. I speak English, how are you?"
"I'm doing well," he says "Hey I don't mean to be insulting, but has anyone ever told you you look a lot like Adolf Hitler?"
The old man smiled and looked unfazed "Oh ja, I have been tolt zis."
The travel agent thinks to himself what a coincidence it is that this old man seemed to have an authentic German accent.
He says "No offense. You German?"
The old man nods again. "Ja."
The agent asks his name. To his shock the old man replies "Mein name ist Adolf."
The bartender glances over inconspicuously as he wipes down the bar a few feet away.
The travel agent feels a strange new feeling in the pit of his stomach. A mixture of disbelief, anxiety and fascination. He tries not to let it show as he says "You must be pulling my leg."
The elderly man says "No, I am Adolf Hitler. I can tell you because nobody believes me."
The agent doesn't know what to say. Here's this guy who could very well be the monster he's heard about all his life. This frail, unassuming senior with the German accent is telling him he's Adolf Hitler. He's just drinking beer in a dim everyday bar at the bottom of the map. The agent asks the old man "How can you tell me so casually that you're Adolf Hitler? The nazi leader? The man who led a charge to take over the world in world war two?"
The elderly Hitler says "Please, mein memory ist not what it used to be. I vas ze leader of Chermany and I did have to go to war."
The agent feels sick as he asks the most pressing question on his mind-
"...How can you live with yourself after murdering 6 million innocent people for nothing?"
The former fürher looked again unfazed "What are you speaking of? Zat must be someone else!"
The agent couldn't believe it. He looked around just to see if he were the only one hearing this. He looked back to the old man who looked positively innocent in light of the situation. He persisted "You mean to tell me that you don't remember systematically killing SIX MILLION people? You just forgot?"
A sad, distant look came into the elderly Hitler's face. "...I can't imagine doing zis horrible thing...even vith all ze power... It can not be..." He was silent for seconds that seemed like eternity.
The agent was incredulous
"As the leader of the Nazis you ordered the murder of 6 million Jews! It's what you are known for the world round and why you must have come down here to hide from!"
A spark of familiarity was seen in the elderly Hitler's eyes.
"Jews?"
He lifted his mug with a shrug
"Yeah, sounds like something I would do."
These were the funniest men in history. They really made yu laugh n werent vulgar either
. This is when comedy was truly funny
The funniest roaster of all time is Foster Brooks and his Loveable Lush.
As I was growing up, in the 50s, ALL of the greatest comics were Jewish. We lived in Brooklyn and had live "Your Shows of Shows" on our TV in 1950. Then, my parents told me about the Catskills' resorts. There were so many great Jewish comics who "cut their teeth" in the Catskills I cannot name them all. BUT, to me personally, the finest of all of them wasn't necessarily just a "stand-up" comic, but more of a writer. This guy could also act, too. If I ever saw his name in a Cast listing, I knew the movie would be good. That man is Carl Reiner! My wife and I watch my favorite comic movie, The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming, several times a year. And, I don't think he wrote any of it. He just played Whitaker Walt perfectly. Oh, Alan Arkin wasn't bad, either.
But they where vulgar?

If this exact skit was today, the joke about hitlers wife dating a Jew would be a career killer. Sad times we live in.
Eva Braun was actually Hitler's mistress.
@@joshuabrooks4907 I mean, for the most part sure, since they did not want the relationship public. But Eva did marry Hitler a day or two before the actual suicide, so David is correct.
The issue with that joke today is that it's a marriage joke. Those jokes are very uncommon now adays, and saying a marriage joke about another mans (albeit fictional) wife is a joke I haven't heard in a very long time. The fact that Dean Martin chose it to be about Eva Braun is genius and fits perfectly into todays comedy.
probably not
Most people nowadays wouldn't even know who Eva Braun is

Tell me, it's so so sad what this world has become.
rickles is one of the great comedians of all time.
he is the The Greatest period!!!!!!
This was too good! To his credit Governor Reagan had a good sense of humor.
Have you heard him tell jokes? He's hilarious!
When a president could take a joke.
Back when a president could handle a roast. Today he cowers behind everyone.
@@bradwiehn2886 Agreed. Though in truth, both George W and Obama have been the target of a LOT of humor at their expense, and taken it with a smile. The same can hardly be said of the current nut-job. Just saying.
@@bradwiehn2886 then a president became a joke..
Im a Portuguese 40 years old man. Just love to watch this gentleman. What a comedy genius.
Ten yr older and Swiss ☝🏻😎
A wonderful glimpse at the Golden Age of comedy. God bless Mr. Rickles.
I watch this when I need a laugh & to lighten up a bit before sleep.
So far this month the count is at 12 times.
Very much appreciate this upload.
+Lew. Bon. Thank you for the comment.
I'm with you Lew.When i want to laugh my ass off i watch 1 of these roasts...
It doesn't matter how many time i have see them,i laugh every time..........
This roast puts RR just two degrees of separation from a load of gangsters. You know, it was his changing of the tax code, and not 'Star Wars' which did in the Soviet system. All those Russian oligarchs needed access to western markets and a place to re-establish their power-base as they stole the assets of their own nation in their sham change-over to a democratic political system.
Changing the tax code allowed them to create massive fortunes in a very short time in the US without facing the safe-guards established by Roosevelt to counter another capitalist crisis the likes of which plunged us into over a decade of economic depression. The Soviet oligarchs needed to hide the money out of country so no foreign service could launch a counter-coup exposing the theft and showing where domestic rivals might expose and retrieve the assets.
You should read, Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer. The Soviets used Armand Hammer to smuggle funds out of Soviet Russia and into the west to fund covert operations. Armand Hammer met with high level mafia criminals engaged in bootlegging and helped them create laundering schemes to purchase legitimate entities. The Soviets had the goal of setting up a commercial contract for ammonium nitrate to bring their agricultural industry into the twentieth century--hoping to defeat the west by boosting their populations, through sheer strength of numbers. Armand Hammer was even known to have met with Meyer Lansky in Cuba.
Meyer was the defacto head of the mafia while Lucky Luciano was in exile... because Meyer had organized a scheme whereby the various bosses could clean their dirty money through the purchase of legitimate businesses from a slush fund established in a Swiss bank account. The Italians wouldn't take orders from a Jew, unless that Jew was showing them how to make a fortune in legitimate dollars. When JFK was assassinated, MI6 had a book published under a phony name, which detailed a study they had compiled which came to the conclusion that the assassination could've been funded by a coalition of fifty investors.
Further, Birobidzahn was an early Bolshevik experiment with a Jewish state. Jewish gangsters were given the incentive of working toward the establishment of a Jewish state. Something Andrei Gromyko takes no small credit for. As the Soviet ambassador to the UN, in recognizing the fledgling state, even as it was stealing the homes of Palestinians to accomplish this.
But this roast is funny.
+bill smith "Dick....Dick...Move outta there !!!"
Help me guys- sitting in an Argentinian resto having a churro, laughing & am now sharing this with two lovely ladies.
In spite of all-life can be good if we concentrate on making good even better.
Lew. Bon. You're an idiot.
Personal opinion but Don Rickles killed it on this roast, possibly his best
That's what they say
I agree
Totally love this man, he loved everyone. His humour universally understood, a giant of pure genius.
Just the way he delivers his insults is just amazing. Every single one is a gut-buster, has me laughing every-time I watch him.
It's sad that everyone in this video has passed...
Not Mark Spitz
And most of the people here commenting
Except reagan
@@bman6414 Brodie I got some bad news my man
Dude you should check out your grandma's class photo.
Dean Martin: “a lot of people wonder why Don is so mean. There's a reason for that, he's been that way ever since he found out Eva Braun was two-timing him”
Viva Freedom 😂
My favorite joke too, unfortunately its getting too old to use.
It's funny because he's Jewish hahaha
Don Rickles was one of the funniest men that ever lived. Damn I miss his comedy.
A really special man. I've watched you over and over for many years and I never get enough. You bring tears to my eyes.
He ain't gonna be reading this
I love Rickles and I love our great former President, Ronald Reagan!
Okay Boomer
@@r.girouard5886 Ok copy & paste culture.
@Aly H Ok copy & paste culture.
@@ryanwilliams4223 you literally just copy and pasted, lame ass
@@r.girouard5886 Merely to prove a point,how pathetic does one have to be to use the same sad saying over and over,very sheepish of you.
RIP "Mr Warmth"Don Rickles
Your wit and humor will never be forgotten!
Thank you for all these years of great comedic genius!
This was one of Don's best...he mostly let the others on the dais alone and focused on the guest of honor. What a great time Jack Benny was having, too!
Back when PC was none existent, love it!
Damn! he was funny and look at that, nothing dirty, what a pro.
_“He wouldn’t be governor if my people didn’t go ‘ОК!’”_
That’s why a lot of the world doesn’t like Jews.
Rickles lets the truth slip. Their sick idea of karma. Put it right in our faces and if you still can't see it, "you deserve it"
Did y'all catch that
@@_Patton_Was_Right Reagen a bought and sold puppet like the rest of them.
@@_Patton_Was_Right that's how it goes,they put right on our faces and the majority don't get it...numb dumb dumbs..
It is really sad to see all of this washed away from this world we live in nowadays. This is pure form of human beings socializing, putting away all personal emotions aside and enjoying a good laugh.
Could not have said it any better, my friend. I miss the joy in human interaction when we could laugh at ourselves!
@@rhyder4life yeah. Even Reagan didn’t take himself completely seriously.. Biggest difference with today.
That is so true
Society now is just one huge clusterfuck
