I am 51 years old and been through hell the last couple years. But I can tell u Foster Brooks actually makes me laugh out loud. God Bless you Foster!!!
Did you ever see Foster Brooks on the roast of Don Rickles? It was genius, especially the last minute of it. Anybody who can make Dean Martin cry with laughter and make Don Rickles laugh so hard he can't breath is doing it right! It was a sad day when Foster Brooks passed.
OMG that was GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I laughed so hard!!!!! God bless you Foster!!! We need more like him ! They just don't make good comedy like this anymore!
I can watch these clips 50+ times every few days, and still laugh uncontrollably at them. This is one comedian (amongst a select few of course) that always knew how to get a good laugh. I miss comedy like this. Not to say today's comedians are bad, though vulgar does come to mind, it's really nice to be able to look THIS stuff up and laugh the way you need to on bad days! RIP Foster! Your memory and comedy lives on!
Scott Major. Foster said he didn't do his first drunken bit till he was 59. Then put on Johnny Carson, where his popularity exploded. I can watch these over and over. The Don Rickles roast I think is the funniest.
I absolutely loved Foster Brooks. He was so GREAT at his act of being the "Lovable Drunk." When Foster Brooks was in charge... the audience got to SEE A REAL COMEDIAN AT WORK!!!
A unrivaled pure genius. Every time i hear/see him---and it is often ----my laugher erupts from within-----RIP kind Sir---i bet you have God in tears in your company :)
He was my favorite!! You can't help but laugh at what he does. He was even funny on the Dean Martin Show, especially when he did the roasts. We lost a great one when he passed!
the announcer was foster Brooks I think he played a double part,,, when brooks towards the end came out of character and said a line the 2 of them sounded the same
@@rebeccaryan3621 No, that's definitely Charlie O'Donnell. You can listen to the difference in vocal tone and texture. Also, what sense would it make for a comedian to do as you had just explained? There wouldn't be any logical point in doing that.
Thanks for this!!! Best Comedian in the 70's-allowed on tv that is, and I just saw one of my favorite country singers from the 70's, Larry Gatlin. Better get back to the show! I saw Steve Gatlin and Kenny Rogers. Damn, we've all gotten old.
I graduated high school in 1979 and Foster Brooks looks the same as he did back when I was even a lot younger than that! I believe I heard once that he actually was quite the teetotaler. What a Class Act every time!
I really love how you can see Mr. Brooks get into his character about15-20 feet on the stage after he is off the stairs. There is a whole difference in one moment wherein his whole gait and posture change. Just amazing to see that transformation!!!
Those Foster Brooks clips are hilarious, unfortunately, in this day and age, he'd probably be ridiculed for making fun of alcoholism, when all he was doing was lampooning the behavior.
I use to love sitting there and watching Dean Martin face Everytime Foster Brooks was doing his stuff on his show or the roast. Foster was always great but Dean is expression was priceless.
For a man who never touched alcohol even a real drunk couldn't do it any better. See the video of him on The Steve Allen Show where Steve set it up so nobody knew what he was going to do. Steve's wife, Jayne Meadows, just sat there with her mouth hanging open. Watching these real comedians shows just how far we've fallen. Politics is the new "comedy".
Look up the 2nd and 3rd seasons of Mork and Mindy. He played Mindy's boss - both sober and drunk! He was the best. My son saw him just yesterday when I was playing my Mork and Mindy DVD's and he laughed so hard! He was so funny!
Alexis Elizabeth Drob Yeah, but now days, you wouldn't dare act drunk or you'd be hauled off in cuffs with a big fine. Foster Brooks didn't drink. That is just a bit of his incredible genius. I looked so forward to Dean Martin roast's because you knew Foster Brooks would be there. I was just a kid when I first heard him and laughed my ass off.
The most rewound part of the video: when he uses his normal voice. As I did too, having never heard it before now. The man deserved a career in radio, at least, if he hadn't done comedy.
I've been trying to introduce my 26 year old daughter to the classics from my time; Dean Martin's Roasts, Carol Burnett, Johnny Carson, Hollywood Squares. As I watched many of them recently, I see that, like Foster Brooks here, they are usually specifically contemporary to their time. IOW, she'll never get them. It is sad because the humor from my time, 60's and 70's brought me many laughs. Now on my way to look up some stuff on Norm Crosby.
+ain't rite It is strange my dad introduced me to these funny comedians back in the 60's and 70's. It turns out we have the same taste in humor as I love clean humor or at least humor with little cursing in it. I will always be grateful to him for bringing me up with the classics that he enjoyed more so back then as I do now. Yes some people won't get silly humor like this nowadays because they may be a bit too stiff.
Foster Brooks was the best acted like a real drunk but in reality he wasn't he was so good at it when I first seen him I thought that he really was drunk until he was interviewed on the johnny Carson show when he said he learned from his dad that's how he became the famous drunk unbelievable
I am black man. Watched Foster Brooks growing up in the late 60's forward. He was funny. Every habit,race,lifestyle,and debilitating state has been put on display. Not everybody laughed but many did. Comedy is a risk. Just hope the comedian knows how to deliver.
Whenever I need a good laugh, Foster Brooks and the Dean Martin Roasts never disappoint.
Foster Brooks and Don Rickles have me in tears with laughter.
many of the Roasts are now available on iTunes - i almost know them all by heart - my favorite roasters are Foster and Charlie Callas
You are so right
The best part is Dean's laughter, too great!

I'm 5 yrs older than you but he's still hilarious RIP Foster Brooks
well , his drunkness performance comes so natural , a pure comic legend , RIP foster.
My dad is 85, and I can remember him laughing out loud during Foster’s performances. Those where the good old days of comedy.
I can never get enough of Foster Brooks. they don't make 'em like that anymore. rip to a comic genius.
100 %
You can find him on The Dean Martin's Roast on RUclips
Definitely one of the greats Just wish he was still alive and I could see him in person Truly a master
This Guy ... was a GIANT. Not only a unique talent.. but a superior one.
A true genius who never fails to make me laugh out loud. Today’s comedians can’t touch the likes of him and Don Rickles.

Foster Brooks never disappoints.
I saw all this as it happened (I am 62)---and still there is nothing funnier than Foster on a roll.
He finally became Himself for a few seconds before going. Back into "The Lovable Lush" again.
He could turn it on and off like a light switch ,

“Is that you GOD?” Cracks me up every time. Lololololol.

He is unbelievably funny. I love watching him on the Dean Martin Roasts. Dean and Foster are phenomenal!

How great would he be as an Oscar Host!!
Instead of Gervais? yeah i'd prefer Foster too actually, even though i kinda like Ricky.
Would have been 6 hours longer!
FYI: The announcer was the late Charlie O'Donnell. Foster was a truly class act and his like will never seen again.

Good old Foster Brooks. What a fantastic talent. So many of his roast clips have had me laughing so hard I was crying.
No one could or ever will be able to do it like Foster Brooks !
great comedian...never get tired of watching his clips...
FOSTER BROOKS always killed I miss him!
Finally got to hear Foster's true voice. :)
Shadow Wolf if you want to hear lots of his true voice check out his interviews and when he was on the Lucy Ball show.
I graduated high school in 1979 and Foster Brooks looks the same as he did back when I was even a lot younger than that!
I believe I heard once that he actually was quite the teetotaler. What a Class Act every time!
He was phenomenal!👏👏👏
it's rare to hear but he had both a wonderful speaking voice and even singing voice - but we'll always remember him for the lovable drunk :)
agreed, and I believe he didn't drink.
@mrspecialk1234 Martin was part of the rat pack. Something EXTREMELY wrong there. Far from being a wholesome bunch.
wow-the variety, timing, subtleties... this guy was sharp. a real deal...
What a class act! He is missed his humor was priceless!
“Is that you God?”
Gets me every time! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i can't stop watching him since im a teenager a ager teenager i watch him every night to laugh

hick ,thatttttttts true .
Those Foster Brooks clips are hilarious, unfortunately, in this day and age, he'd probably be ridiculed for making fun of alcoholism, when all he was doing was lampooning the behavior.
In the '80s, public attention to drunk driving caused him to have to drop the drunk act. He carried on doing voiceover work and such.
His drunk act was funny and I don't think it would pass today but he was hilarious 😂
Nevermind today, he quit doing it not long after this because of those reasons.
Great comment Paul!!!!
His act was always hilarious! By the looks of some of the faces in the crowd they were either unimpressed by his act or they didn't know who he was.
One of the funniest men ever. Prestigious Big shot! indeed.
FOSTER BROOKS IS 1 OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT CAN MAKE ME LAUGH , AND I GO IN 2 HYSTERICS EVERY TIME I C HIM !!!!!!
There's one word I use when I see Foster......Brilliant.
November 2017 and this guy is still hillarious
oh yeah foster brooks THE MAN may he rest in peace .
There's nothing as entertaining and funny as watching Foster Brooks & Dunn Rickles Dean Martin go at it
I use to love sitting there and watching Dean Martin face Everytime Foster Brooks was doing his stuff on his show or the roast. Foster was always great but Dean is expression was priceless.
The world needs Foster Brooks to keep us laughing 😂
Amen to that
THE GOLDEN VOICE
An absolute legend.
Pure comedy genius!
I really like the way he went from, shtick to straight and back to shtick.
louswire he knew what he was doing and were his place was thats for sure ,and also could give the audience
a good laugh .
what is shtick
Foster Brooks was the best.
His greatest Bit is when he roasts Sammy Davis Jr.!! Just hilarious!!

Actually, he was quite a drinker in earlier times and that actually "helped" him with his act.

Foster Brooks brings down the house whenever he does his schtick.
GREAT COMEDY!!!
I saw him in 1982 in the Philippines, he did a USO show. Much enjoyed.
He plays/hams it up as a drunk. He's among the best comedians out ther past and or present
Wow the last part where he stops performing and thanks the academy for letting him be a part of the ceremony was great he has a very nice voice
GENIUS
OMG- The 'point spread' on Dolly Parton.
The most subtle double entendre I've heard in a long while.
A legend and gentleman, RIP Foster.
This guy was very creative , what a unique brand of humor, I miss him
these were the good ole days.!!
“Good luck to all the nominees, except the ones I don’t like.”
Nice.
I really miss the days of funny talented comedians who didn't have use vulgar language to make people laugh!!!
um...Foster almost always mixed in sexual innuendo. As did most comedians in the 60-70.
But he was downright vulgar like today's moronic so called comedians!!
Alexis Elizabeth Drob In today's news, nobody cares what you miss.
Alexis Elizabeth Drob Yeah, but now days, you wouldn't dare act drunk or you'd be hauled off in cuffs with a big fine. Foster Brooks didn't drink. That is just a bit of his incredible genius.

Foster Brooks was the best of the best! “The Loveable Lush”. Do you remember his story tellings?
Nobody will know this but the woman at 2:54 in front of Kenny Rogers, amazing beauty
Is that her name? :3
I was thinking the same thing.
He and Tim Conway,, 2 comedic geniuses...

It's strange hearing Foster Brooks speaking soberly.
It seems like he always made it clear in his acts at some point that he was totally sober.
Did you know that he was also an accomplished singer as well?
"Is that you, God?"
Ah the guy is a complete riot!

Wow.. Claude Akins and Mills Watson from 'Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo', haven't thought of that show in years.
Brilliant
He was the best 👍👍👍💥 And I don't believe he ever drank alcohol.

Does anyone else remember his cameo on Starsky and Huch / husky and starch?
Foster Brooks always cracks me up. But, Larry Gatlin’s blouse at about 1:10 in the video would look better on Dolly Pardon

Oh my goodness 😂😂😂
The duality of man.
Oh my God he is to funny
Foster Brooks could make you laugh just by talking or by trying to talk
