I think i doubled ye on watching. He really was a genius. I do wonder if perhaps he was a tee total. You have to be straight to get the Drunk manorisums just right!
That hockeypock line had me on the floor laughing like I haven't done in years. From the mispronunciation, to the stammering, trying to remember, then asking Dean, the dazed and confused look, etc. EVERYTHING was as perfect as it gets. And to see the titans of comedy on stage with him rolling in the aisles with laughter, no one compares with Mr. Brooks.......On a personal note, my dad loved Foster Brooks. I would watch these with him in the 1970's when I was a kid and we just laughed out heads off. My dad passed away in 2011 and I miss him dearly. Great memories of my dad watching this. Thanks so much for posting!
To see so many other professional comedians Desperately trying to keep a straight face while Foster is doing his thing still has me wiping away tears of laughter.
Thanks Mr. Hardin for posting. What always amazes me was how Foster could turn it on and off. Notice how he's completely sober walking up, shaking Dean's hand, then he puts both hands on the podium, takes a deep breath and goes into his routine. After he's done shakes the hand of the roastee, and walks soberly back to his seat. What a genius!
That poppycock line is a comedic tour de force of timing. From the set up to the garbled delivery, to the confused facial expressions. Leaning into Dean and the final punchline for me it's the greatest joke in terms of technique ever.
There's no way I could agree more. Just off-of-the-charts genius on all levels. I physically couldn't breathe through that whole "hockypoc" bit, LOL!. No words. Just awesome!
That’s such a trip that I had a really rough day (and really rough year) and I stumble upon this video and see your comment . I’m 59 years old and struggling but that gives me hope I can still make it !
Yeah, I just learned that a few days ago, that he was almost 60 years old when he started his career in showbiz; amazing! Very inspiring to me, a person who used to do comedic acting and theater many, many years ago, and now thinking about getting back into it.. I'm almost 56 👍
I so much loved this man..just go home and stay off the streets to see the show with my mother..so wonderful to sit and laugh with her.😂God bless foster thank you for the good times
Foster Brooks, Don Rickles, Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Groucho Marx. If Olympus was a comedy club, these guys would be the gods of comedy. These kids nowadays aren't worthy to touch the shoes of those legends.
OMG....how can you not love this man....the best comedian aver. RIP Foster. Comedy will never be the same and you made people forget all their problems if not for only 5 minutes at a time your memories in my mind will live forever
Comedy at its finest with no racism four letter words which proves you don't have to be crude to be funny. You will be sorely missed mr. Brooks. Thanks for the laughs and he's a great singer too
Watch and learn, kids. Watch a master's master at work, at the very top of his craft. There will never, ever be anybody even remotely close to this brilliant and astonishingly funny man.
I can honestly say that Foster Brooks is the funniest comedic person ever on television. I laugh from start to finish. Mr. Brooks and Dean Martin play well off each other......two class acts filled with talent. There won't ever be another Dean Martin, with the coolest style, charisma, good looks , and a PHENOMENAL VOICE that won't ever be seen again.Kinda sad...but thank GOD we have RUclips and CD's.
Me too it’s 2022 and I’m still. Laughing and no dirty words like mother this and f that I’m 65 years old and I grew on these talented men , boy I sure do miss all of them.
+John W Hardin thank you for putting these happy memories back on. I love these roasts so many wonderful entertainers. laughter through tears, so funny but so sad theyve gone. xx
I'm 57, and Foster always brought me to tears from laughing with his delivery, but the one thing that always sold it was his shaking and wobbling, as if he needed to hold on to the podium to stop from falling.
I remember my dad just killing himself laughing his head off. Being like 6 years old, I didn’t realize what being drunk was but just watching my dad laugh made me laugh.
Yeltsin 68 Same here, my dad lost it when Foster came on. I was like 8 at the time, but to see my dad's face turning bright red, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe or even make any noise at all for a few seconds because he was laughing that hard was priceless!!
Foster Brooks was the best. I have done Mr. Brooks several times at clubs and the family. What a great comedian, he was the best. The airline pilot with Dean Martin I will never forget.
My favorite roast is the one with Don Rickles as the subject roastee.. To hear Don's laugh when Foster is telling him about his wife is so infectious, was a riot. I had to share it with others. My favorite.
David Henderson ; Watch him roast Don Rickles!!! That's one of the funniest roast's EVER!!!! I have a bad day at work? I watch Foster, & it's gone! Comedy Genius!!!
I think foster brook,s is brillant and a good human being anyone who thinks different is a putz also has a rectacranialinversion means you got your head stuck up your ass!!!!!!!!!
Your aunt said what? or... Oh really? Gee Dan must have been a brilliant writer! This delivery was so perfect and outrageously funny, I break up every time I watch it. Somebody please... Help me. Can't stop watching Foster.
Foster was hilarious! He wrote all his own lines! Everyone of them was funny, but you where guaranteed to always get one that made guest and audience and you laugh out loud!
Boster Frooks funny? Cockypock! I love watching professional comedians laughing hard at Foster Brooks' perfect delivery. No profanity, just plain funny. Ruth busted up laughing...
I remember watching this as a child, I was laughing then and now! These guys, especially Foster Brooks, were funny as hell. NO WOKENESS going on there and they were just fookin' brilliant!
Well, not during his performances anyway. He had struggled with alcoholism and had been a drinker in the past but gave it up and used his recall to make "lemonade" from his experience.
He drank in his early years, on the weekends ONLY. He quit cold Turkey back in the 60's on a $10 bet because he needed the money. He quit smoking too. He was never an alcoholic and he didn't struggle with quitting, it was actually very easy for him. His act came from a character his dad, my great Grandfather, Pleasant Brooks would do sometimes for the family in the evenings.

It's 2022 and I'm laughing at a routine from the 1970s. That says alot about Foster Brooks and his comedy. Excellent.
Today this would be seen as offensive but it's comedy and fun at it's best. Wonderful personalities 😅😅
Nobody's been able to play a drunk better than this man he is hilarious.
I've probably watched this roast 50 times over the last week, and it just doesn't get old. His mannerisms are so perfect. Comic timing at its best
I think i doubled ye on watching. He really was a genius. I do wonder if perhaps he was a tee total. You have to be straight to get the Drunk manorisums just right!
And I'm re-rewatching this again (and again)
Guy wrote all his own material and hadnt had a drink since 1960. A master.
Love how he can make everyone laugh.
No bad language.
Just real comedy.
Dean obviously loved Foster, always gave him a hug at the end of his set. Classic.
That priceless, maniacal glare he'd look down on whoever was seated next to him with...

Nothing like this man
I'm glad you have those memories.
Love your story about your Dad!!
I too share this with my father. Thank you for sharing that.
Time with a real father is more precious than gold, is normally a role model goal and hopefully repeated with offspring. It was for me.
Hilarious 🤣..they don,t write scripts like this anymore ,that man was a genius in his own way. Thank you for all the laughs & memories Foster Brooks
Foster Brooks is the one responsible for the laugh lines in my face, he is incomparable. 💯
Foster Brooks. We will never see a talent like this again.
Didn't even drink lol. So funny
Dean Martin loved Foster Brooks, God Bless them both
You are watching a master of his craft at work..RIP Mr Brooks
Agree with you.
Me too! I agree he is a MASTER! I haven't seen anyone yet who can do such a good job!!
For sure , a Master of his craft , I agree

There's just something about seeing Dick Martin enjoying a good belly laugh that does my heart well.
I love these people! Foster Brooks needs to be played everywhere! people would be laughing so hard that they couldn't fight or get mad about nothing!
To see so many other professional comedians Desperately trying to keep a straight face while Foster is doing his thing still has me wiping away tears of laughter.
onebigpine ... Watching Dean trying to laugh was the best. Dean laughing always set me off laughing out of control.
No one could top Foster Brooks. He was one of a kind. Hilarious 😂
I have watched this multiple times and I laugh every time. Foster plays the part to perfection.
Mr. Brooks killed EVERY time on the Roasts! Love him!!
"Dan wrote that..."
Genius. Also very accurate.

@@justcowboywaymovies Have you ever been to Hardin's grave site?
Brilliant. This guy makes my eyes run with laughter. Like Tommy Cooper, he is unique. There will never be another like him. Outstanding comedy.
Great comedy never dies. We must preserve these precious moments in time.
I'm drunk from laughter
Foster Brooks was the best !!!
I feel physically ill because I have laughed so much. Modern comedians just don't measure up. True genius. Just off to get my inhaler!
Must have watched this 20 times. Makes me laugh every time.
Cockypoppy!
Just watched it 4 the 21st time it puts a smile on my dial every time
He's hilarious and there seemed to be such camaraderie among these folks of this era.
I hear you! Same here!👋😂👍

Totally agree. Comedic timing at the pinnacle of perfection.
For those who feel like life has passed them by, Foster Brooks didn't experience his "big break" until he was nearly 60 years old!
That’s such a trip that I had a really rough day (and really rough year) and I stumble upon this video and see your comment . I’m 59 years old and struggling but that gives me hope I can still make it !

Foster Brooks is a comedic genius that I just discovered by accident. I'm glad I did.
I think that is what is known as an overnight success.
I’m on a Foster Brooks marathon.... Genius
His comedic timing was perfect.
Absolutely the funniest guy in this show , just couldn't stop laughing .
Particularly when he roasted Don Rickles, that was hysterical 🤣
I so much loved this man..just go home and stay off the streets to see the show with my mother..so wonderful to sit and laugh with her.😂God bless foster thank you for the good times
That guy was a comedic genius. Every time I hear him I bust up laughing. What a talent that guy was
The deadpan delivery he had was amazing.
A classic act always to be remembered...and to this day no one has duplicated

I love these Foster Brooks routines. A comedic genius.
We have always loved watching Foster Brooks on TV in all the Roasts he has done. No one can do the act he does. He plays a perfect drunk man talking.
Foster Brooks anchored that all star line of talent from show to show. Love him and everyone's reaction. Priceless
Brooks didn't become well known until his late 50's. Surprising for someone so talented
Foster Brooks, Don Rickles, Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Groucho Marx. If Olympus was a comedy club, these guys would be the gods of comedy. These kids nowadays aren't worthy to touch the shoes of those legends.
Foster Brooks was one of the funniest comedians ever.He drove by my house in LA once in a big 70s Pontiac Bonneville convertible.😄😆😅
OMG....how can you not love this man....the best comedian aver. RIP Foster. Comedy will never be the same and you made people forget all their problems if not for only 5 minutes at a time your memories in my mind will live forever
Pure Genius, comedy gold, he was a legend and so far ahead of the rest.
I've always loved Dean Martin's reaction to this genius..

Robin John, you haven't the slightest clue about talent. You are also one of the most ignorant morons in the history of mankind.
THE BEST DRUNK EVER!!!!!!
Especially impressive considering he didn't drink.
Truly Laugh In all over again!
For him to be able to have all the other comedians to lose it, goes to show you how good this man was.
Love watching Dean Martin react to foster. Brilliant to watch..
How in the hell did he do all of this with a straight face?????
Loved him as a child I'm here enjoying him again
I'm 57, and Foster always brought me to tears from laughing with his delivery, but the one thing that always sold it was his shaking and wobbling, as if he needed to hold on to the podium to stop from falling.
I hear YA!!
ME TOO!
No one could play a better drunk! Foster Brooks hands down the best!
I loved that guy. A real class act.

I had to stop reading the responses here. After the video, I started reading some of your responses and started crying all over again🤣🤣
Between this one, Hubert Humphrey & Don Rickles, by far one the best roasts Foster Brooks ever did 😂😂😂😂
“Your aunt said what?” LMAO

Oh Really?

We’ll never see talent like this again.
Foster was one of a kind
Love all the old programs! Those were the days when you had great intertwine I really miss the olds, don,t you😢😴
Yes that is when they had decent programing m and clean😉😡😴
One of his best roasts ever. This and Lucille Ball, both classics!
David Henderson ;
Watch him roast Don Rickles!!! That's one of the funniest roast's EVER!!!!
I have a bad day at work?
I watch Foster, & it's gone!
Comedy Genius!!!
And the one with Rickles.
Truly the funniest comedian I've ever watched
how could anyone give a thumbs down to this great Man. it kills me to see that... .........
People that are miserable with their lives that's the answer Foster Brooks hands down one of the funniest men of his era!
I think foster brook,s is brillant and a good human being anyone who thinks different is a putz also has a rectacranialinversion means you got your head stuck up your ass!!!!!!!!!
Ronald Mozolic Imagine Foster Brooks attempting to say what you just said....it would be hillarious.
I bet it was some wino
Comedians of the modern era have given thumbs down, out of jealousy.
I NEVER get enuf of Foster.. Always a lift when I’m feelin low😀 RIP

What I find most fascinating about Foster Brooks is that he actually didn't drink at all.
Well, not during his performances anyway. He had struggled with alcoholism and had been a drinker in the past but gave it up and used his recall to make "lemonade" from his experience.
He also had a beautiful singing voice.
Nor did Dean Martin. All an act.
That’s true.
He drank in his early years, on the weekends ONLY. He quit cold Turkey back in the 60's on a $10 bet because he needed the money. He quit smoking too. He was never an alcoholic and he didn't struggle with quitting, it was actually very easy for him. His act came from a character his dad, my great Grandfather, Pleasant Brooks would do sometimes for the family in the evenings.
We're all laughing and Foster maintains his serious character throughout. He becomes the inebriated character.
This is my favorite medicine. Love this one, Rickles roasts, Jack Benny, the Sammy Davis roast and the Hubert Humphrey roast especially.
What a great comedian, everyone of the clips had me laughing
Don't forget Lucille Ball, Betty White, & Valleri Harper! Foster brought the house down with them too.
He was brilliantly funny!
What a total riot....Foster Brooks has no rivals. :)
