There will never be another. I hear people today and they mostly tell jokes I heard when I was in Jr. high school. They have to put profanity in the joke and it just ruins the joke. The most important part of a joke is imagination.
A comedian with real talent... notice there's no filth, no profanity... just a great sense of timing and mastery of intoxicated behavior. No one did it better, ever!
Foster Brooks was an absolute Comedic Genius. To soberly mimic the mannerisms and speech pathology of the inebriated so accurately was an absolute masterpiece. Today’s comedians couldn’t get on the same stage as Mr. Brooks. I truly miss this gentile .
Hard to believe Foster Brooks has been gone for almost 19 years. I've loved watching him ever since I was a teenager (I'm nearly 70 now). For me, he was the funniest comic and loved seeing him on the Dean Martin Show.
I think I looked forward to him more than anyone on the Dean Martin roasts and loved watching Dean hunched over and laughing. Those were.really special appearances and to me always real treat. Miss you Mr. Brooks...RIP.
Mr. Foster Brooks was one if not the greatest entertainers in my 63 years. Thank you for the hilarious memories. Would love more. Sincerest Gratitude. C.R. Beard
Skip Beard Skip, you’re a ‘man after my own heart!!’ We’re old enuf to recognize true comic genious☺️ Kids nowadays have NO idea what we’re talking about🤷🏽♂️ Most of ‘today’s humor belongs in the 🚽. RIP Foster🌹
It gets better everytime I hear Foster, it gets funnier😂 I’m left with a deeper understanding of his timing, intonation and brilliance of his lyrics. The older he became, the better the richness and quality of his delivery🌹 He lived in Encino California with his wife and two daughters, and performed until he was 86, and died in his home at 89, surrounded by his wife and daughters. RIP dear foster😢 and thanks for the laughter you brought into this world... We need more Fosters in this humorless world of today🌹
You are so right. There is an empty gap where Fosters' humor was. My Grandfather had met him years ago, & one of my Grandfathers' saying was that if you couldn't express yourself without cussing, you were showing your ignorance. I try to live by that motto, & Foster was a shining example of that.
1 tryed to imate him, but can't but I have tryed ! He is a classic and much to be remembered, I am 83 now and still enjoy& laugh & that's what we need today!!
A polished professional who blessed the world with his ‘home grown’ humor🌹🌹🌹 Sooo far above the 🚽 comedy of today.. I am soo thankful for his recorded legacy🙏
This is a perfect example of what a class performances is all about. You are a kind and respectful man. Thank you for your time and your talent. Take care.
His stories are so funny, and he delivers his lines without cracking a smile. But what stunned me, I had no idea he could sing. His singing wasn’t bad. Thanks for posting this show.
Who knew he had such a beautiful and strong singing voice? I have heard his humor in the past but never heard him sing. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. He truly had a gift. I remember him on a Dean Martin Comedy Roast special.
No other comedian has ever come close to Foster Brooks and no one ever will. Foster was the comedian I grew up watching, back then we only got 3 TV channels if we were lucky, but we got to watch Foster on Black and White tvs. Awsome then and now I get to watch him on RUclips.
First time i saw him was on Johnny Carson. He was introduced as NBCs program director to talk about the changes to NBCs line up. He started off perfectly fine and then he burped and i thought "is this guy drunk?" Of course Carson looked shocked. Brooks kept going slurring his words and such. I laughed so hard He was one of a kind
I was only a kid when Dean Martin was on tv. When I knew that Foster was going to be on the show, I was glued to it. This man was a genius at comedy...stone cold sober also!!
what a classic...as a young teen my mom and brothers laughed it up watching Foster on Sullivan...what a joy he was to enjoy -- HalleluYah! that he will continue bringing laughter through RUclips...
Doberman & Parrot story was my favourite +seeing familiar faces in the audience was cool... also Foster always had impeccable timing too.. he was probably the only ones I knew who made Dean&Sammy as much as Don made Frank. he ruled the 60-80s alongside Rickles. R.I.P. Mr Brooks!! You were a funny man.
When I was a teen I heard Foster Brooks on TV being interviewed. He used to go to bars so he could see how drunks acted. He never drank alcohol.but does a GREAT drunk.
Loved this routine! No foul language, no dirty jokes, just good clean comedy. You don’t need any of that other junk to be funny. Take note comedians of today.
He also made some jokes about adultery. And some jokes about homosexuals. Definitely blue humor. You want to clean, listen to Bob Newhart. Once said in Buddy Hackett said in his stand-up routine that Bob Newhart is so clean, he's the kind of guy that gets out of the shower to pee in a hotel room.
Just like Dean Martin, they drank heavily in their off time, where else do they get the basis for the drunk bid? This is the seventies you little ignoramus
@@Dan-nt2yb i post a quote from wikipedia: ''Brooks drew upon his own battles with alcohol for his act. During his period of greatest fame, Brooks rarely drank.[11] Of giving up drinking to win a bet in 1964, Brooks said, "A fellow made me a $10 bet I couldn't quit, and I haven't had a drink since. At the time I needed the $10."[11]
If only we could have great comedians like Foster today. There is no need for trash talk or cussing to be hilarious. Victor Borge and Jonathan Winters are two other greats. 😆
Foster Brooks was an awesome comedian and he played an excellent drunk. I grew up watching him in the late 60s early 70s 61 years old now and I still love him.
I remember seeing Foster Brooks when he appeard on the Dean Martin Roasts , he always brought the house down in laughter , the best one of these was when he roasted Don Rickles ..he had Rickles in stiches even before he started his routine . The best part is that he never really drank ! Rest well Mr. Brooks u r missed
I have finally found this video of his show... I was trying to remember his name and some of the jokes for the past few or more days and out of the blue on youtube without searching his name or act he shows up on a result for a friend of mine.... This guy is awesome and one of the reasons i got into comedy.
Dorothy & husband Jerry Winter

The best 38 minutes and 8 seconds I've spent in a long time! Foster Brooks was a "masterpiece" of comedy. RIP dear Sir. You are greatly missed.
Not only that but at the end he proved he was not only funny but also a good singer.

There actually might be, but that isn't the problem.
This kind of comedy is taboo nowadays.
He wasn't drunk, but could play the part so wonderfully.
There will never be any body with that Level if Talent and Cleanliness! I Salute You Foster!!!!!
The best clean comic!! And that singing voice at the end was great!

I had forgotten what a singer he was! Still cracks me up after all these years.
Pure genius! This humor is so far removed from some of the junk today that people think is funny.
All stock jokes... but he made me laugh.
dcolamar They laugh at what they can relate to, both physically and emotionally😉
All of the junk today
Foster used to put my dad on the floor- he was laughing so hard. One of the best non-drunks to ever play a drunk.
Greg T The BEST!!
THE BEST, Greg😄
Foster The Greatest. Loved. This man. What a comedian
Agree. Dean Martin also played into a drinking character but did not drink in real life. 🤘💜☺️
One of the best??
He was one of a kind
The best ever drunk or sober
I like Foster Brooks he is clean comedy that no sees anymore
I do so enjoy this man's comedy! Good clean funny stories! Sharon wilson
Well, except for the mushroom joke...
Oh, what planet do you live on?!? There's clean comedy everywhere
Every time I see this guy I laugh the whole time. He's so damn funny.
One of a kind. I remember my father laughing during his routines and telling me he was one of his favorites .👍❤️

He said at my age you won't get it anymore.
He also made some jokes about adultery. And some jokes about homosexuals. Definitely blue humor.
You want to clean, listen to Bob Newhart. Once said in Buddy Hackett said in his stand-up routine that Bob Newhart is so clean, he's the kind of guy that gets out of the shower to pee in a hotel room.
Obviously gets out of the hotel shower to pee. Sorry about that.
I'm drunk watching Foster Brooks. It's an adventure. (Burp)
Always enjoyed Foster Brooks!
Good ole Foster Brooks , gone but never forgotten never will be .
I forgot how funny this man was.....thank you Foster Brooks, I laughed till I cried.
One of the best comedians I've ever seen and using profanity as the base for laughs!!!
I still don’t know how he did it; and to think, he wrote most of his own comedy... Best EVER🤣
Foster Brooks , one of the great comedians along side Red Skelton for good clean humor .
I remember him when i was a kid, he hasnt lost it at all, thank you for the laughs!! god bless you lol I
loved the singing at the end.
Never touched a drop. Never used foul language. Not bad for a 79 yr old comic. RIP
Performed till 86... Passed at 89... RIP Foster🙏
That's some impressive acting for someone who never touched a drop

CLASSIC! They just don't make them like this anymore. Simple, silly, hysterical.
Ahhh.... Foster Brooks...
“The Lovable Lush”....
Being drunk was all part of the act. Foster never drank when he performed .
I heard that he never drank .Either way loved watching him back in the day .I'd love to see anyone match this today .
He had a booze problem when he was younger. Stop speculating guys and just do some research.
