I have never laughed so hard in my life than when watching Foster Brooks. He makes me laugh, even when I'm down and nobody else can do that. We love you Foster!
These Roasts were so amazing to watch during the 1970's.. I watched them eagerly awaiting for the moment where Dean Martin calls out for Foster Brooks or whatever character he was play8ng that night. His drunken comedy skits were AMAZING to view and witness. Just watching Foster walk to the podium would have me cracking up before he even said a single word... watching him fall at the podium was even better. He could really perform 🎭 his drunken character so well that if you were not a fan of his you would really think he was some drunk guy speaking on that stage lol ha ha ha 😆 Foster was one of a kind and kept me laughing my entire childhood.. God bless Foster Brooks 🙏🏼 ❤️
His character is a drunk who is trying to fool everybody (unsuccessfully) into believing he is sober. Is the most original concept for a drunk ever, and therefore the funniest one. Thanks Mr Foster Brooks, you were a pioneer, God bless you !!!
Every time Foster looks at Dean Martin during any roast, makes me fall on my back from laughing. Not to mention the characteristic loud laugh of Don Reckles
"In a world filled with armpits, he dared to be an elbow." And I'm in the floor gasping for breath! AGAIN!!! Thanks for the laugh's, Foster Brooks! You are missed!!! R.I.P.
@@kevinmiller1985 And, they are not nearly as funny. Profanity is not funny. I refuse to pay to see a comedian if cussing is part of their act. Profanity is insulting to me.
@@1computernew Good for you. The one person I definitely cannot stand is Jim Carrey. I one time saw the movie Dumb & Dumber & didn't laugh once. He's about as funny as getting a needle stuck in your lip. (I've had that done in the past prior to having my teeth worked on. Very painful, I might add).
Not to mention the Comedy Central roasts make countless penis and vagina references. Like that's really funny. The Dean Martin Roasts had legends of the industry who knew how to make people laugh without being vulgar. The CC Roasts feature losers and no-name people like Lisa Lampanelli, Jeff Ross, and Greg Giraldo. None of those 3 could shine the shoes of Dean Martin, Don Rickles, Foster Brooks, Milton Berle, Rich Little, Red Buttons, and the others.
What an original, he didn't have to steal anyone's humor, he made his own, along with such a delightful character. He was a generation's "weird uncle."
Mad Greek tolos I have the complete Martin roast and at 62 years young remember watching this classic shows.never laughed so hard then and now.God bless you all for bringing back reality to my life.
All of those great people. All of them. They're all dead now. All the wonderful people that I grew-up with, they're all dead now. It feels so weird being here now.
Hopefully some day in the future others will aspire to this. These were the golden days. Political correctness was not as important as comedy. Laughter reined. May it reach this height again we pray.
Doc James Sadly my friend!!! This era has come & gone!!! There is no hope that those days will ever come back!!!! You will never see the likes of these people & this type of comedy again!!!! There is so much sensitivity with anything you say these days!!!!!!
I totally agree. The talent on that dais is irreplaceable. Comedians like Brooks, and Rickles and Dangerfield and others would never be able to do today what they did back then. It is so sad.
Kevin Miller When these roasts would come on, gathered around the TV we'd wait for Foster Brooks's bit, and laugh! What a treat. Don Rickles was second.
I wish Dean had roasted Burt Reynolds, and Foster had a chance to say something. I can only imagine what that would have been like. That would have reached thousands of views and likes in seconds.
Besides the great comedy of Foster Brooks I've noticed several other consistencies... 1) He can tell his jokes and keep a straight face unlike most comedians (past and present) who often also laugh while telling their own jokes 2) He pretty much "goes-on" last [and for good reason - tough act to follow] 3) The audience is already laughing before he even makes it to the podium 4) All of these vlogs featuring him has had well over 1Mil hits EACH !!! ....TO JOHN W. HARDIN: HATS-OFF TO YOU SIR !!!!....UA-cam IS OUR ONLY REAL "TIME MACHINE" OPTION, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INDULGENCE!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Real comedy from real comedians. Nowadays all that comics do is tell you what they've observed and I watch them for a few minutes before shouting at the screen.....YOU'RE NOT FUNNY! Watching these roasts I find it so sad that all these great stars are all gone from us, as we'll never see their like again I fear.
I wonder which makes more sense, the political correctness and the vulgure language of today's comedians, or the pure comedy without political correctness of the past, I happen to enjoy the past, much classier.
Oh man crazy I just found this one. My grandmother waited on him when she was a waitress. He liked his eggs black, like burnt black. Took her 3 times to get it right she said but he was very nice to her
Legends right there I tell ya! Comedy back then was usually left for open interpretation, it made you think. In todays times you get some schmuck with a weird looking face and a few half-ass jokes that call themselves comedians. Most people today don't have good personalities for comedy.
It’s interesting how some of Fosters roasts are 4+ minutes of greatness and some are like what’s the point in getting on stage. Less than 3 minutes was a waste of his talent.

Just excellent 👍 Thank you Mr. Brooks for the years of laughter 🤠
as a young boy watching these shows, I never thought that much of Foster Brooks, but watching them now as an adult, I realize the man was hilarious.
Oh Lord! He was my favorite part of the show!
I have never laughed so hard in my life than when watching Foster Brooks. He makes me laugh, even when I'm down and nobody else can do that. We love you Foster!
I wish we could bring back all of these great comedians for just one more roast.
But who to roast?
For me, Just bring back Foster Brooks and Rodney Dangerfield no offense to the other great comedians of the past
you thinking ala madame trufeau?

Even after decades Foster Brooks makes me laugh. There will never be another man like him.
there was no internet, the ideas were fresh and small,
"In a world filled with armpits, he dared to be an elbow."
And I'm in the floor gasping for breath!
AGAIN!!!
Thanks for the laugh's, Foster Brooks! You are missed!!! R.I.P.
I KNOW! That line got me!
😅😅😅😅.This hits me too
🤣🤣🤣🤣
A time when we had real REAL entertainers!!!
That elbow line was timed and executed perfectly
Pure comedic genius, he got the whole crowd roaring without uttering one word of profanity.
FUCKIN RIGHT!
That's how much times have changed. Nowadays today's stand up comedians use profanity every time they take the stage.

RIGHT --- can't say "sh't" but can say "colored" --- swearing bad racism good
@@PisceanGardener no one does that - you are just spouting made up talking points from conservatives liars
Those were real comedians, they never used vulgar language, but so, so funny. Thanks for the memories.
Evelyyn mohr Thanks for viewing the video and the comment.
100%, amen to that.
Evelyyn mohr Amen
FUCKIN RIGHT!
Oh, yes they did ! They just weren’t allowed to on TV.
Man do I miss those days you know when we could all laugh at each other.
Things were so much simpler
His Continuous Drunk Act Was A Riot!!
Having watched all of these I believe Foster enjoyed making Dean Martin laugh 😂 was the highlight of the roasts or skits. Great comedy for all.
Thank u so much 4 introducing me to these shows...best thing I've seen, maybe ever...is that good.
Thanks for the upload. I think Foster Brooks was funny every single time! Telly SALIVA!!!
Thanks for the comment.
Many of these guys still roast in heaven, humoring God to sustain such a sad world we all live nowadays.
in a world of armpits...he dared to be an elbow
Clark Bucher ... I laughed histerically at that one too. What a comedy genius to think bbq that one up!
I laughed so hard this man was a phenomenal genius
The best bald joke I have ever heard.
MISS ALL THESE GREATEST ENTERTAINERS OF ALL TIMES!
Dean Martin should gave Foster Brooks and Red Buttons a dinner too, because they were the best!
Agreed!!!!!
I wonder why Don Adams was never roasted. He'd've been a good one.
Did anybody ever roast Foster Brooks
Foster Brooks was hilarious.
yes he was
To this day, I can't get enough of him!
@@happydays8171 Foster Brooks was born to play a drunk.

You can hear tickles laughing his butt off.

The smiles/laughter by guest celebs are so obviously phony
Yes so funny
I can’t help think these roast were sometimes prurient and those parts were cut out.. I’ve often wondered if I’m seeing the whole skit...?

could somebody tell me what that last joke was I couldn't get it. Thanks.
+blacksheep837 Foster says: "Ladies and gentlemen, in a world full of armpits he dared to be an elbow." I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.
+RLVall thanks.
An arm pit is hairy an elbow is not. So in a world of people with hair, Telly chose to be different.
That there's called a metaphor.
Telly's haircut gave him star power, more attention, enabling his talent to come out
You watch people trying to funny now, OMG! What the hell happened? Not even close.
Too short
John WHarding he dared to be a what didn't catch that
Telly saliva ,ha !
to funny
Why was he always drunk on these shows?
Foster Brooks was a teetotaler. He did not drink that's why he was so funny.
