If you’re ever feeling down, all you have to do is watch several of these, and you’ll automatically feel better, because laughter truly is the best medicine on the planet and he is truly a doctor of it
I have seen many comedians and actors imitate drunks.... but no one and I mean no one did it like Foster Brooks.... if you didn’t know he was acting you would swear to God he was actually drunk...Unbelievable and unmatched talent
As a Brit who discovered Foster a few years back, I can't get enough of the lad and have watched everything on line of him twenty times over. You need cheering up? He's the boy.
Today’s comedians would be ostracized by social media for being misogynistic and racist if they were to repeat any of these jokes. They would lose their jobs, wives and any chance of future employment in the field.
That's when America could laugh and enjoy being American. Those gents can't be replaced, we miss them all! Foster was one of a kind, theyll never be another. I miss that America, I'm sure they do too!
Really? That America where Sammy Davis Jr., despite being who he was, was not allowed to go through the same club entrance as the rest of the Rat Pack? That America where had Elvis Presley not threatened not to perform his back up singers, being all black were initially refused the use of the same entrance as him? That America? How can you miss that? It's still alive and very much kicking, 'THAT' America...
.from Glen Moran Aust.Qld .I can.t say enough about how funny and a great comedian MR.FOSTER Brooks.reall was.. a nd watching him without him cracking a smile..the best pLAY acting drunk I've ever watched on TV IN MY LIFE TIME.AND TO SEE DEAN MARTIN LAUGHING AT FOSTER IS SOMETHING ELSE.SPECIALLY WEN FOSTER LOOKS AT DEAN AND TAPS HIM ON THE SHOULDER MR FOSTER BROOKS REST IN BEAUTIFUL PEACE MY FRIEND LIKE ELVIS. U WILL BE ONLY ONE MR.FOSTER BROOKS. U GAVE ME THE BEST BELLY LAUGHS OF ALL TIME
DoktorSick. It sure doesn't. My dad watched every one of them. I'm 67 now and when I pull one up I find myself watching them for hours. Foster was my favorite but I loved them all.
@@TheJollyMisanthrope Every time I watch the police haul a drunk to jail after getting in a traffic accident I always think, “At least he can tell politically incorrect jokes, so it’s all good!” OMG, give me a frickin’ break!
Started watching Foster Brooks only in the last few months and he has such a natural charisma that will never be matched, an absolute pleasure to watch and so believable. Thanks for the laughs Foster and rest in peace.
This is what comedy was and should always be! Everyone enjoyed a good laugh when Foster Brooks and his contemporaries roasted one another on the classic Dean Martin comedy roasts. Today, there may have been lawsuits against such comedians.
When you can get laughs without saying a word(just walking up to the podium,the people on the dais are already laughing 😂😅)tells you how funny his drunk character was
Just can't get enough of this man. 😂 Mr Brooks was one in a million. To think that he's acting, and stone sober! Now Dean Martin, on the other hand...🥃🥃🥃 🤣👍
"He had two black people for dinner, and they were delicious"!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 How far would that joke fly in today's world? There would be instant protests. Very funny stuff from days when people weren't offended by the slightest thing.
It wouldn't because it is offensive. It maintains stereotypical and prejudicial attitudes. If you don't get that then it's no wonder that racism is still an issue in the US
Today, it would Only be funny or more importantly, ‘acceptable’ if a person of color were telling the joke. White comics risk a forced career change if they dare utter ANY humorous words about any another tribe. Comics of color such as Richard Pryor & Eddie Murphy have always enjoyed the freedom of Zero comedic restrictions regarding race or political correctness. One recent exception: Dave Chapelle got pushback from the LGBT community for his recent Netflix Special.
@@thankyoucaptainobvious7707 no Black comedian would make such a joke. Pryor and Murphy knew how far they could take white jokes. And they stayed away from jokes about the 2SLGBTIQ community. Ralphie May is very deliberate in his routine. Much of what was "accepted" then wasn't because it was liked but because there was mass approval by white audiences. Those days are over ☺️
@@Hywords contrary to popular belief, many people can tell the difference and discern between a joke about something and being outright prejudice or racist.

I had never seen or heard of Foster until last night. I nearly peed my pants. Went on to find there was a string of his best. That was an American that Made people happy and showed them laugh. We list a great generation of true artists.
These were shown in prime time. In our house it was an event, not to be missed. Mom would make sure dinner was early and we'd all sit quietly, around the television, anxiously awaiting Foster Brooks' monologue. The ensuing laughter, from the four of us, could be heard several houses away. Good memories.
I can remember the first time I saw Foster Brooks was on the Mork and Mindy show. He was the guy who fixed every thing plus her land lord. Even then he played drunk. Watch the one where he roasts Don Rickles
The 'Lovable Lush' would never get airtime in today's woke PC world. He was a genius who was a longtime local radio deejay and didn't start his comedy career until he was in his fifties.
Foster Brooks, the funniest drunk who never drank. This is when comedy was truly funny and the comedians didn't need to curse or scream like the so called comedians do on today's ridiculous roasts. This is when comedy was true genius.

Good point by Foster - You mean NO ONE from All In The Family could show for Carroll O'conner's roast? Either they were rude, or speaks volumes to what Carroll was like behind the scenes.

I am only 46 years old and barely remembered Foster Brooks as a kid, but watching all of these videos on RUclips, he is an absolute GENIUS!!
I agree was there and popped up a Dean Martin roast been laughing all day
I watched these guys every week when they were on TV only had 3 channels back then 70s but the best shows ever in history of TV. ...AMEN to all
We were the TV remotes when our parents told us to change the channel 😂

You are right. Nobody came close to him.
@@Shooters141 me too
@@Shooters141 ok
Foster Brooks was a teetotaler. In other words he did not drink alcohol.
I always thought Dudley Moore was pretty good at it too
As a Brit who discovered Foster a few years back, I can't get enough of the lad and have watched everything on line of him twenty times over. You need cheering up? He's the boy.
copferthat
I wasn't even aware he was British until one of the times he spoke soberly in a role.
I'm so very used to seeing him play pickled.
As one Brit to another, your so right!
He was born in Kentucky.
His roast of Don Rickles is the best!
Brilliant agree - just great fun
Even if I feeling down, I can watch this guy and it just cheers me up.
Today's so called comedians can't hold a candle to this. Thank you for the laughs.
Today’s comedians would be ostracized by social media for being misogynistic and racist if they were to repeat any of these jokes. They would lose their jobs, wives and any chance of future employment in the field.
Agreed! With both of you!
Bring back funny!! And we should stop taking ourselves so seriously to boot.
Foster Brooks acting drunk and Dean Martin trying to appear sober …these roasts are gold !
Dean Martin trying not to laugh 😅

I adore seeing these roasts! Foster Brooks was so convincing as a drunk that was so funny when I was growing up. Good, clean comedy is sorely missed.😊
This is REAL comedy! No cursing and it's still funny!! Foster Brooks one of the best.
True, no cursing, yet so entertaining.
The old ones were the best, the videos of these still make me laugh and smile

Saw most of these roasts when 1st broadcast. What a treatto watch them again. Thanks for posting.
No one could make Dean laugh like Foster Brooks!!!!
Which is ironic since neither Dean nor Foster drank alcohol.

It's a wonder that Foster didn't stagger going to and from his seat to make it look more convincing.
@@kevinmiller6380 I thought that too!
Watching this when you've had a few makes more sense than when sober! This was hilarious!

Foster Brooks basically had one gimmick, and it kills me every time! That's how good he was.
Great stuff, never gets old so thanks for the memories, j

There is only one Foster he can't be replaced!!!!!!
Foster Brooks is my favorite drunk!
Anyone who would give this a Thumbs Down is probably as much fun as a Colonoscopy. No one can fix those folks.

Foster Brooks as always is gold. And the Dean Martin Roasts were always funny.
These Dean Martin roasts Are classics I could watch and laugh all day these guys were the best
Love these roasts. Great memories
And I will ALWAYS LOVE Foster Brooks ♥️😁❤
My favorite Foster Brooks moments are the Roasts for Sammy Davis Jr, and Don Rickles.
Simply stated: The greatest entertainment in history, period!
Started watching Foster Brooks only in the last few months and he has such a natural charisma that will never be matched, an absolute pleasure to watch and so believable. Thanks for the laughs Foster and rest in peace.

Too bad these shows are around anymore. True classics!

One of the rare times you don't see Foster shake the hand or greet who he just roasted!
That last joke was a dig to his cast mates. They should have been there
Never had the pleasure to watch the roasting starring Foster Brooks wow i can watch this kind of humor for life
Dean is his biggest fan. I love seeing Dean laughing at Fosters routine

2:42
I was a kid when this was on. My parents used to watch these and when foster Brooks came on everybody shut down to watch it!
