Dean Martin Celebrity Roast - Ronald Reagan

Season 01 Episode 01, Sept. 13, 1973

Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. Gone are the days of great actors, talented comedians, good clean television shows and great entertainment. An era of greatness gone but not forgotten. Thanks to RUclips.

[@lindsaymc151]

Jane Doe, you are right. A Knight's honor to a Princess is not yet dead. Men don't stand, pull back the chair and seat their women. They don't open doors and the car door for a lady anymore. I told my granddaughter, if he doesn't do these things for you, loose him. She saw me do this for her grandmother. I followed through and watched. I did offer to coach him but she got it and said ,"Pappy, you are right, I'll loose him." Now he is gone. She is happily married to a man that that will open doors and tend to her needs and they have a baby on the way.

[@janepatterson6779]

Ronald Reagan was one of the best -- admirable in so many ways, and he had such a great sense of humor! Good man, good husband, good actor, and a good President. RIP, RR.
It is fun to watch and listen to the comedy, but I also feel bad that just about every one of those great comedians to got up to speak are gone now, along with Reagan, except maybe Mark Spitz, who is about 78 now if I'm not mistaken.
The humor may have insinuated a thing or two that was a bit ribald but no one ever said even one 4-letter word -- just good clean fun (something we are very shy on today) and it is refreshing! Bravo to all the old comics who could make us laugh anyway!

For todays generation, me included, Its a must for indignified, low class crap to make us laugh that hard I thought. They showed us how wrong we are to think like that. That they can do that while holding their class and yet make us laugh till tears come out! It is possible! and they showed us that!!! And thats why i said thank you! , many of us would never have known if not for such videos here on youtube. Its all class! to the level of legends. I guess this is what made America great.

Back when this country was halfway sane and mostly decent.

[@strangersound]

America has always had a seedy underbelly and insane streak, which is part of our charm, but it probably shouldn't be the primary attribute. But the 70s were about as seedy a time as you can find in our storied history, so I think you might be using rose colored glasses...you gotta go a little farther back for "halfway sane and mostly decent"...and the argument could be made that the human psychology hardly permits the conditions you describe, at any point in human history. But I'd go early 60's and before to get an approximation. ;)
I will say that there is a level of class and style going on here that you'd be hard pressed to find these days. These people were the end of an era...one that had Frank Sinatra conducting. By some measure, Reagan was the last statesman.

Phishean: So true! I lived in Sacramento when Reagan was Governor the first time, back when we were proud of California, which was once the 2nd richest State in the Union, the best in so many ways -- no more, now it's 10th or lower, their Governor, Jerry Brown, has ruined that Golden State, and so many of us who were native Californians have long ago moved away. Brown has and continues to queer any chances of that State being great again. The only wealth is in Hollywood and Silicon Valley, and the heads of those companies live in Seattle or Utah or Idaho -- NOT California, and many can work from home with all the latest advanced technology; you don't have to be "at the office" -- since your office is at home.
Anyway, movies in the theater will be a thing of the past in a few years, since most people will have theaters in their homes, IF they are interested in movies. They'll probably have 3-D, smell-vision, special effects you can see, hear, and feel all around you, that will probably take the place of movies and television as we know it today.
Even agricultural companies are giving up and some are moving to the fertile valleys of South Africa to raise their crops! Guess they'll take a chance on the hippos eating their crops and the elephants trampling them, rather than having them dry up and blow away! No, California is no longer the Golden State. Even smart Hollywood citizens (at least the older, smarter ones) are moving and making their primary home away from California and only come to CA if their movie is being made there.

I don’t think that it has to do with being “thin skinned”, but more so with, “I’m sick and tire of your shit, stop putting me down” and now it can be said, while back then you just had to take it. This is my humble opinion.

Ronald Reagan was without a doubt the greatest president of my lifetime. One of my great disappointments is that I never had the chance to vote for him. I was only 16 in 1984. I voted for George Bush in 1988, 1992, 2000, and 2004. I suppose that must have been similar to voting for FDR once upon a time...

Plus he also can take the piss out of himself and other politicians. God bless Reagan as he was a real man and great American. As to Dean Martin he was a true star, TV, singer, actor, movies, stage he was a grue great. This is when America was great and looking at these guys you can see why they made America great.

[@WarriorWeek87]

Isn't that the truth!!

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

Phishean: So true! I lived in Sacramento when Reagan was Governor the first time, back when we were proud of California, which was once the 2nd richest State in the Union, the best in so many ways -- no more, now it's 10th or lower, their Governor, Jerry Brown, has ruined that Golden State, and so many of us who were native Californians have long ago moved away. Brown has and continues to queer any chances of that State being great again. The only wealth is in Hollywood and Silicon Valley, and the heads of those companies live in Seattle or Utah or Idaho -- NOT California, and many can work from home with all the latest advanced technology; you don't have to be "at the office" -- since your office is at home.
Anyway, movies in the theater will be a thing of the past in a few years, since most people will have theaters in their homes, IF they are interested in movies. They'll probably have 3-D, smell-vision, special effects you can see, hear, and feel all around you, that will probably take the place of movies and television as we know it today.
Even agricultural companies are giving up and some are moving to the fertile valleys of South Africa to raise their crops! Guess they'll take a chance on the hippos eating their crops and the elephants trampling them, rather than having them dry up and blow away! No, California is no longer the Golden State. Even smart Hollywood citizens (at least the older, smarter ones) are moving and making their primary home away from California and only come to CA if their movie is being made there.
