Foster Brooks was the only person in this whole series of Dean Martin Roasts who consistently destroyed the dais every time he appeared, especially Dean Martin. Always my favourite roaster. Thanks Mr. Brooks.
His routine is less than six minutes, there isn't a single vulgar word, and he totally owns the stage. He has Don Rickles about to cry, he's laughing so hard, and the others on stage as well. Pure talent, class, and confidence.
Wouldn't you just once have loved the camera to pan back so you could watch the whole table of guests react? My gosh...I've never ever heard Don Rickles laugh so hard in my life!
I've actually had the fortune of meeting Don Rickles once, many years ago at the Resorts Casino in Atlantic City. It was his last performance after having done around 30 years there. Truly a class act. He was a pistol off stage as well as when he was on. He was the best at his style of comedy. Foster was in great company the night they roasted Don!
It's mind-boggling when you think of all the comedy legends on the stage alone. I've noticed that there are some in attendance who are in the audience. I mean, wow! I see a very diverse table of people up there. In this day and age, when all people want to do is call each other racists, these people actually made fun of themselves and each other and laughed about it.
You notice how these guys can rib each other, bring wives and significant others into the joke, and everyone knows it's pure humor. No one is taking a swing at anyone or spewing profanities. It'll never be like that again.
Foster Brooks was great....he would do the drunk bit almost at every roast and he always pulled it off without it ever getting old and worn out.....classic old school comedian.
What is so amazing about Foster Brooks is that he never breaks character. I don't think I have ever seen him crack a smile or laugh while in character doing his bit. When you have a room full of people laughing it's extremely difficult not to laugh at what you just said or did. He was definitely the tops at his game.
Yes, and as soon as his bit is over, he *COMPLETELY* breaks out of character and becomes his regular self. I saw this show when it first aired---I was eighteen.
Foster Brooks was no Harvey Korman who couldn't hold a straight face telling a joke even if his life depended on it. Brooks was in a class by himself. He was just side-splitting funny and to think he never drank . LOL.
He was a truly talented comic. Kept his audience in stitches and tears with laughter, with acts that had no vulgarity, no profanity. Pure, unadulterated talent, the likes of which we haven't seen since. Alas, the new comics base their routines on profanities and denigration. Foster Brooks was truly a class act. Loved that man 😅😂
I'm a Brit and I just love this old time Yanky humour, delivered by exceptional professionals. These were the days when we knew how to take it on the chin and were not looking to be offended 24hours a day, or offended on behalf of others. Shame to think they're all gone, because we'll not see their like again.
copferthat That's what truly breaks the heart. I'm not sure how it is in the UK, but the FCC in committed an act of war when they took Saturday morning cartoons off the air. When I was a kid (before I got into school) I used to watch Saturday morning cartoons and Saturday night British comedies.
Agree with you. The world has become too sensitive. A funny joke these days will get you fired. This was Hollywood's Golden Era. The actors were special back then. Today, it's known as Hollyweird.
I remember watching this as a kid. We'd watch these roasts just to watch Foster Brooks. He never disappointed. Even my folks, who hardly ever laughed at anything, were in tears. RIP Foster Brooks. You were a credit to your craft!!
I was blessed with a studio singing career that spanned nearly six decades. My fondest memories we from being part of an 8-voice backup group on the Dean Martin Show for 6 years. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dean. Just a total delight to work for. And I always loved it when Foster Brooks was on.
@Diana Lee Thank You so much for all the entertainment you provided to my parents, grandparents, and ourselves...I remember all the truly hilarious skits and songs and guests from those shows, and we were truly blessed by You and Your Peers...Thank You Very Much for So Much...God Bless You!!
This particular roast HAS to be one of the best of all time! My gosh, how blessed we were to have all of these folks as a part of our culture back in the day. I miss them all.
I watch this whenever I’m feeling a little bit down, it works every time. Foster Brooks comic genius. When you have Dean wiping his eyes, and Don Rickles laughing so hard he can’t stop, well, it just doesn’t get any better.
Roy Boy...... Boy, you sure said it! It just does NOT get any better than back then!!! I, also will access these videos when I am depressed. I do NOT feel depressed for long after having watched them!!!
The material, timing and delivery Foster does is a work of art. To see the best comedians there ever were sit on that dais and squirm in their chairs and cackle with laughter can only come from a master of his craft. Not a vulgar or obscene word uttered. When the last of these comedians passed, so did the greatest comedic talent there ever was never to be seen again.
When we were watching and enjoying these NONE of us ever realized that eventually when they were all gone we would be left with garbage for entertainment.
To me, this is his funniest skit . And he does it all without cracking a smile . He looks at Rickles as if he cant understand why Rickles is laughing !
Gosh, I miss those days and all these wonderful and talented people. Unfortunately, we have very few stars today who can even hold a candle up to these performers. Their talent and class is something that is sorely missing in our society today. I count myself very fortunate to have grown up in a time when these stars shone so brightly. May God bless and keep them all.
Brooks had no equal. He could just stand there and have his audience in convulsions. I remember those roasts and always looked forward to the shows where he appeared. This one is a classic.
You've literally just watched 5 of the funniest minutes you will ever see... He had both Dean and Don in stitches, the whole dais in tears of laughter, and the audience howling... WHAT a gift he and these awesome roasts were to us all!
Deano was crying with laughter on this Foster standup brilliance, Dean could usually keep it together but not on this night. Classic, real entertainment by the masters.
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this over the years. It is an incredible performance by a great talent. They don't make them like this anymore. In fact all these guys in their own way are just so talented, some comedians, some straight actors but true professionals all them
You don't see talent like this today, their all trying to teach you about wokeness or some other political agenda. I truly miss all these old shows they were very entertaining.
If only the younger generation saw the shows from the 70's and earlier... no cussing or swearing. Just plain funny! I keep coming back to these old shows in a bid to retain my sanity. I hope these videos live forever.
@Pirabee actually I think it was more of professional ethics. I heard Red Skelton say once that he knew 1,000 dirty jokes but he felt that if he couldn't make people laugh without being dirty he wasn't a very good comedian.
It is strange that until now no one has ever said that these videos of the past help them retain their sanity. Because until now that is exactly how I have felt. So atleast that makes two of us. Well put.
In the 60s 70s in the 🇬🇧 we had Tommy Cooper, in the 🇺🇸 you had Don Rickles. People who made people you cry laughing just by walking on stage. There aren't any funny professionals around today. Political correctness and trying to be clever comedy have killed show business.
Wow, I'm 28 years old, and I wish the world would laugh like this again. I've seen this bit countless times, but every time I return to it, I laugh with tears in my eyes. Thanks, Foster.
Absolutely, my brother and I had a great time trying to be Foster Brooks. This is one of the best clips ever - his roast of Lucille Ball is awesome too.
I am sooo glad I found this. To see Don Rickles overcome with laughter and Dean Martin wiping tears put of his eyes is classic! I watch it regularly and keep skipping back to the 5 minut mark to hear Rickles " cackling" with laughter.
@@Pandemos more to the point how did foster brooks manage to keep a straight face? He had them in tears of laughter on both sides now that is pure talent. March 2021 🙏❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🤤🤣🤪🙄😁😅😃❤🙏
Besides the brilliance of his jokes and gags, the technical aspect of Brooks' voice control with all the stammering, belching and stuttering while still remembering his routine was brilliant. They broke the mold after they made this guy. A true comic genius...
As a kid, these roasts were always funny! Foster Brooks became a favorite and you can see why - he has the whole panel in stitches! Laughter is catching, and when I see Dean Martin and Don Rickles both cracking up it makes me laugh harder! Thank you Mr. Brooks!
When a man like Foster Brooks can make professional comics laugh just by walking to the podium, & the antipation, well that man is a TRUE COMIC ABOVE OTHERS!
Foster Brooks was the best! This is one of the best roasts EVER! I laugh soooo hard everytime I watch this. I remember watching the Celebrity Roasts with my grandparents...great times!
jokerswildio Worst of all, someone says or does something even slightly offensive they have to apologize immediately to avoid being torn to pieces by the social media lynch mob or they are stripped of everything they ever built, earned or worked for all their lives. Although the so-called 'Social Justice Warriors' speak of equality for everyone, there's a great deal of narcissism involved; It's a great deal more about them than about those they're claim to champion. Let's not forget about how they're actively looking for excuses to be offended. What do you wanna bet that when it's finally _their_ turn on the chopping block, gallows, stake etc, they're gonna be screaming things like "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!!", "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!!!!!!" or "I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG!!!!!", the last one often said by angels of death after they're caught.
@@williamnorton9547 Screw the social media! I could care less about them. And remember as Andrew Wilkow says, Socialism is for the people , not the socialists.
My favorite moment in this video is at the 5 minute mark, when Foster Brooks tries to say Rickles. Don Rickles' laugh is so great. Just pure absolute laughter. No entertainer can touch these guys from the past. The best entertainers ever!!!
Sad to believe their all gone now. Such great talent gone forever. Reminds me of home with mom and dad we all laughing to the point of damn near peaing our pants. Tells me how old I am now. God Bless the days of real cut throat humor !
When you can reduce every other comedian in the room, into laughing so hard that not only can't they speak, but can't even look at you....we know your good. Foster Brooks is a genius, and it's amazing how easy he made it look. Today's comedians couldn't wipe his ass.
I have to agree, now I do laugh at today’s comics, but these guys were truly funny. Doing it without the profanity, and everyone at the table is side splitting laughing! 👍🏽
I watched these roasts with my parents when I was a kid... we always waited for Foster Brooks to come on. We laughed so hard. And I remember this very roast! And the other comedians there that night, such as Dan Rowan and Dick Martin... simply wonderful!
One of my favorite roasts Don was laughing hysterically and for someone that nails others Don got nailed and loved every moment of it with his true laughter , he loved it 🍷🍺🥃🚬👍😎
This is one of the great things about youtube. I'm only in my 20s but I really wish I had been around to enjoy the 70s. Foster Brooks has never failed to put a smile on my face.
"Idon't want you to blame your wife for any of this....our getting together was all my fault! I was the one who answered her ad in the Hollywood free press!" genius writing and delivery. Love foster brooks.
LotusFlowerPower I absolutely lost it when he said "we're always sad to see your performances end. because that's means you're headed home and I better cheese it. which reminds me you're out of Velveeta" choked on my lunch as I was taking a sip lmao
After he tells Don he's been seeing his wife, he turns to Dean and says, "If your wife finds out she'll kill me!" It happens real quick, but what a witty toss around. frickin' brilliant!
Brits have the spectrum of comedy, from driest of dry to bizarro, theater of the absurd! Today, it's sexual, demeaning, and almost always a political slam.
It is totally and virtually impossible to keep a straight face while watching this video, the intense uncontrollable laughter of everyone present is so extremely contagious that you just can not help but laugh just as hard as everyone else, except for Foster Brooks himself, how on earth does he keep such a straight face while going through such an intoxicatingly hilarious routine, he is truly an amazing unbelievable comedian! it would be the ultimate challenge to watch it without laughing as he does! Unless you are complete without a sense of humor!
One of the funniest guys I have ever seen. I am a pilot, and when I saw his airline pilot gag with Dean Martin - I think I cried laughing! Absolutely brilliant.
I'm 63. Remember these roasts like it was yesterday. Peace.
I'm 72 and feel the same way
Me too, remember we sat as a family and laughed ourselves to death
Im 60 almost 61
@Daniel-w6l4k I'm 65 still going strong...lol

“As the Puerto Rican gentleman just told you”. LMAO 🤣

Yup.😄👍🏾
Oh yes!
You got that right my friend
You could be drunk on TV and not get fired!
Yes!!!!
This is THE funniest skit on RUclips. Dean and Don are both crying, and Foster keeps a straight face. LEGEND. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
if someone finds something funnier, please post - this is GENIUS
One of the greatest! God bless them all!
And I believe stone cold sober. Pure genius
And he just GLARES at Rickles, which makes Don laugh even more!
If you get a guy like Don Rickles to literally almost die laughing, you know you're doing something right.
That would be Mr. Rick, Rick, Rick, Pickles to you
Agreed! 😆
One of the funniest men ever.....I have tears of joy listening to Foster. A first-class gentleman
Another great from that time was Jonathan Winters!😉👍
Winters was hysterical and another genius
You notice how these guys can rib each other, bring wives and significant others into the joke, and everyone knows it's pure humor. No one is taking a swing at anyone or spewing profanities. It'll never be like that again.
It's a different time now. Back then we tell jokes have a laugh and then get to work...
Humanity has lost its sense of humour...
😂
Yeah, today somebody is gonna feel "dissed" & then the fights on.
Indeed. Half the jokes he made here would have him banned and canceled nowadays.
Foster Brooks was great....he would do the drunk bit almost at every roast and he always pulled it off without it ever getting old and worn out.....classic old school comedian.

Yes, and as soon as his bit is over, he *COMPLETELY* breaks out of character and becomes his regular self. I saw this show when it first aired---I was eighteen.
Enormous discipline and self-control to perform his act successfully.

Worst of all, someone says or does something even slightly offensive they have to apologize immediately to avoid being torn to pieces by the social media lynch mob or they are stripped of everything they ever built, earned or worked for all their lives.
Although the so-called 'Social Justice Warriors' speak of equality for everyone, there's a great deal of narcissism involved;
It's a great deal more about them than about those they're claim to champion.
Let's not forget about how they're actively looking for excuses to be offended.
What do you wanna bet that when it's finally _their_ turn on the chopping block, gallows, stake etc, they're gonna be screaming things like "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!!", "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!!!!!!" or "I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG!!!!!", the last one often said by angels of death after they're caught.
@@williamnorton9547 Screw the social media! I could care less about them. And remember as Andrew Wilkow says, Socialism is for the people , not the socialists.
I came across Brooks and Rickles roasts this year,and boy have they made me laugh so much in a time when the world is in Chaos. Epic Laughs
Same
He was a rarity in the world of humor, very, very funny. If he wrote his own material, he was genius.
Foster was an incredible comedy legend.
This never gets old. Great comedy.
When you can get Don Rickles to laugh you know your doing it right. Thanks Guys wherever you may be for all the laughs you are missed.
My favorite moment in this video is at the 5 minute mark, when Foster Brooks tries to say Rickles. Don Rickles' laugh is so great. Just pure absolute laughter. No entertainer can touch these guys from the past. The best entertainers ever!!!
love foster, but Gabriel Iglesius IS in their league.
It doesn't get any better than this folks!
Sad to believe their all gone now. Such great talent gone forever. Reminds me of home with mom and dad we all laughing to the point of damn near peaing our pants. Tells me how old I am now. God Bless the days of real cut throat humor !
Foster Brooks RIP You're Comedy was priceless makes me so laugh so hard I cry pure gold!
When you can reduce every other comedian in the room, into laughing so hard that not only can't they speak, but can't even look at you....we know your good. Foster Brooks is a genius, and it's amazing how easy he made it look. Today's comedians couldn't wipe his ass.
Indeed. Well said.
Today's "comedians" don't know how to be funny without cursing. I find that despicable.
Hell, when he got to the podium, Don busted up laughing and hadn't said a word yet. LOL He just looked at him..
I have to agree, now I do laugh at today’s comics, but these guys were truly funny. Doing it without the profanity, and everyone at the table is side splitting laughing! 👍🏽
A T Morgan every time he was on Don was throwing himself around laughing til he cried
Goes to show just how funny Foster Brooks is.....He just has to merely look at Don and he cracks up uncontrollably..lol
I watched these roasts with my parents when I was a kid... we always waited for Foster Brooks to come on. We laughed so hard. And I remember this very roast! And the other comedians there that night, such as Dan Rowan and Dick Martin... simply wonderful!
Me too! 100%!!!!
By the end, me, Grandpa and Granny Mac were gasping for breath! Good memories of better days.
Pure genius at work, you can tell he really loves and admires Don by how oustanding his performance was.
He's not a drunk. He is a brilliant actor.
When you can bring Rickles to laugh with tears than you're a genius!
One of my favorite roasts Don was laughing hysterically and for someone that nails others Don got nailed and loved every moment of it with his true laughter , he loved it 🍷🍺🥃🚬👍😎
This man was the funniest comedian I have ever seen..RIP Foster
Every time i need a break from life problems and need some laugh, i watch these roasts. Seeing Dean laughing so hard, its incredible.
I totally agree!
One of the top 5 comic things I have ever seen. It NEVER gets old!
Of all the roasts segments, this was by far the best presentation ever.
"I better cheese it. Which reminds me,you're out a velvita." Lmao
i watch these clips of the old roasts when ever i feel down and it only takes a minute to cheer me up...shame they dont make them like this anymore
This is one of the great things about youtube. I'm only in my 20s but I really wish I had been around to enjoy the 70s. Foster Brooks has never failed to put a smile on my face.
Todd Davis
It's stuff like the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts and clips from the Muppet Show that make me comment
#makebadjokesgreatagain
Sure don't!
I’ve watched this so much I know all of the punch lines! And it never gets old! Just good, clean comedy!
Good Clean Truly Funny Comedy. Man how I miss these times.
Love it when Foster gets Dean laughing so much and then gives him that little jab . He does that in quite a few roasts
How can he sound so serious and keep a straight face while doing this, pure genius
"Idon't want you to blame your wife for any of this....our getting together was all my fault! I was the one who answered her ad in the Hollywood free press!" genius writing and delivery. Love foster brooks.
LotusFlowerPower lost it at that moment lol
How true. Even the stoic Joey Bishop cracked up on that one.
LotusFlowerPower I absolutely lost it when he said "we're always sad to see your performances end. because that's means you're headed home and I better cheese it. which reminds me you're out of Velveeta" choked on my lunch as I was taking a sip lmao
After he tells Don he's been seeing his wife, he turns to Dean and says, "If your wife finds out she'll kill me!" It happens real quick, but what a witty toss around. frickin' brilliant!
I was the one who read the Hollywood free press... and answered her ad.
PUT THE PUNCH AT THE VERY END
Rickles' laugh at the end gets me every time... 🤣🤣 Foster's performance was incredible
As a Brit, this is brilliant,pure class. Back in the 70s, in England, our comedy was also at its peak. Now it's dreadful
Same everywhere because so many snowflakes are looking so hard for something to be offended by.
Yes.. we miss Mr Benny Hill.. he had his own style but very funny as well..
I disagree, your panel shows are top notch.
As a pommie I agree 👍👍👍👍
Brits have the spectrum of comedy, from driest of dry to bizarro, theater of the absurd! Today, it's sexual, demeaning, and almost always a political slam.
It is totally and virtually impossible to keep a straight face while watching this video, the intense uncontrollable laughter of everyone present is so extremely contagious that you just can not help but laugh just as hard as everyone else, except for Foster Brooks himself, how on earth does he keep such a straight face while going through such an intoxicatingly hilarious routine, he is truly an amazing unbelievable comedian! it would be the ultimate challenge to watch it without laughing as he does! Unless you are complete without a sense of humor!
Ive watched this bit well over 100 times and it never gets old. This is my favorite of the deano roast videos but all of the rest are great as well.
One of the funniest guys I have ever seen. I am a pilot, and when I saw his airline pilot gag with Dean Martin - I think I cried laughing! Absolutely brilliant.
Yeah, his Pilot skit is comedy gold 🤣!!
And he's completely sober while doing his toast/roast. Brilliant
and he had a wonderful singing voice
NOBODY bashed
Rickles like that.
Bravo Foster.
Even when I was a drunk i couldn't get it right
@@jasonvandervalk3679 LOL
Any Comedian’s worst nightmare. Having to follow foster brooks
Yep, extreme legend all the way!
@Randy Barker I followed Foster Brooks once. He cut me off on the Ventura Freeway. His personalized license plate was “LUSH”.
That's why Brooks went on last just before the roastee.
yes and no. Foster warmed them up.
