That's when comedy was comedy and people new that all in good fun. Everyone was a target😂😂😂❤❤
You rock the Casbah, Polo! The Sharif don't like it, though!

Ed McMahon hosted star search. He's the cohost that kept leaning forward and getting roasted. Rickles was a savage.
hey polo watch any and all don rickles stand up . don is a goat
The thing about Rickles, no one, nothing was off limits. In his own way he was assaulting prejudice by using it against itself. Not easy to do, but laughter opens the possibility. And he was quick. So quick.
Damnnnnnn... "Using prejudice against itself"
THAT'S a killer line! I'm totally stealing that one! 😉
You can't laugh at others if you can't laugh at yourself! Before the overly politically correctness days. That's when people would use their fist not guns. Glad you've only been punched and hopefully not shot.
Rickles was the only one who took shots at Johnny, besides Frank.
This is so well said I hope you make a living with words or thoughts. It is perfect IMO
The same way Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor did it with “Blazing Saddles”.
I had the pleasure of seeing him live in Atlantic City not long before he passed away. Due to his age, we weren't expecting a very long show. This guy performed for 2 hours and had the crowd in the palm of his hand from beginning to end! And as great as his jokes and one liners were, his real life showbiz stories were comedy gold... There will never be another like him! 💔
I hate you a little bit, but it's pure jealousy to be clear! 😅❤
That is SO COOL! And 2 freaking hours?! That's actually wild
Yup. There's a reason everyone kissed his ring, so to speak. He was untouchable. And he was a comedy legend.
Sweet!
His roasts with dean martin are worth a watch. Also when he guest hosts for johnny and breaks his cigarette box and all that happens is classic late night television.
The one insult he had for Nipsy Russell (very dark skinned celebrity) gets me every time -
"Nipsy, I've seen a lot of blacks in my day...but you're overdoing it."
That was one of the best, when johnny found his broken box. I think he was actually pissed at Rickles.
Carson was pissed. Had that box from when he was doing the show in New York yet
The cigarette box is a classic when Johnny discovers it and walks across the studio to where Rickles was taping CPO Sharkey and interrupted. Comedy gold. Not like the totally scripted junk of today.
The Foster Brooks roast of Don Rickles is hysterical.
" By the way, you're out of Scotch!"
Damn i miss rickles, and I miss Carlin and all the greats.
Don RIckles was an absolute one of a kind comedian. He was amazing! He was the only person who could be on stage and just verbally slay and insult everyone else around him and leave people laughing and feeling loved.
Don was the first comedian to get away with insulting his audience and having them love it. One of the nicest guys in movies and TV. He was also a very popular straight actor that you'll see in lots old TV shows and movies.
And it was considered a great honor to be roasted by him
Don has to be related somehow/someway to Bill Burr. So many similarities. Especially the, *I don't give a f#**#k** attitude* 👍😂😎
Comes in with ALL FACTS regarding whatever topic/subject. They say it in a way that has you hurtin' from laughing so hard😆😂🤣. Also, CAN'T get MAD 😡🤬 at them due to it being ALL TRUE!
No he wasn't
It always throws me off seeing him Straight! 😂
@@chrischar9428It's possible that you are correct, but instead of just saying no, he wasn't. Any chance you might name a few that did that schtick before? Maybe he was the first to popularize it, idk. You seem to though. Care to elaborate...
"I thought Dangerfield was sharp..."
Dangerfield actually practiced and wrote out EVERYTHING he was going to say when he was on The Tonight Show. There are a couple of great documentaries about it. He was SO meticulous about his jokes. Rickles, for my money, is my all time favourite.
I had the privilege of seeing one of Don's last live performances when was 85. He was physically starting to slow down, but his mind was sharp as a tack. At the end of his show, he brought his grandkids on stage and talked about the importance of family to him. He also joked that his grandkids generation will forever only know him as Mr. Potato Head. He then got very sentimental and sincere, thanking the audience for his career and for letting him do what he does. He shared his philosophy on the importance of laughing at ourselves because, in his way of thinking, if you can't laugh, what's the purpose of living. It was a side of him you don't see on TV and I'm glad I got to experience it.
The best Rickles on Carson was the night after he broke Johnny's precious cigarette box
You are correct and I’m old enough to remember that…. Although I was a kid.
Watch "Kellys' heroes" Rickles was great in that, A bit you might not know about Ed McMahon he was a Marine F4U Corsair pilot and instructor in WWII Semper Fi- Tyler
U got to see him roast Ronald REAGAN it's unbelievable 😂
Don was an amazing human in his private life. His comedic timing was spot on. He made fun with everyone - not at or to degrade anyone. He loved people. He was a devoted family man as well. Today's culture would never allow this. If we cannot make fun of ourselves life is not worth living.
Canada could use a healthy dose of Don Rickles right now! 😅❤🇨🇦
You might consider watching the Friars Club roast of Don Rickles. 13 minutes of pure laughter.
Amen to that
Way back (prior to this tape) Don's generation HAD to be able act/sing/and a bit of dance to get anywhere near the Big Time. His very last hurrah he sang seated as the close of the tribute. Very emotional moment.
Don Rickles was an equal opportunity insult comic. Miss him, RIP.
The word about Rickles was that he was a very nice guy and even kind of quiet off stage. The cool thing about his act--is that her riffed the whole thing. He doesn't have anything prepared like most comedians. He made fun of everybody---no one was off limits. He even performed at Reagan's inauguration - and he didn't hold back.(Sinatra got him that job haha) I believe it's on youtube. One of the best vids of Rickles on Carson was the episode w/ Sinatra. Hilarious
I agree. The Rickles/Carson/Sinatra video was hilarious.
Don was a real Gem!! I think he was so
Hilarious! Thank you Polo
Don rickles is a legend. One of my top favorites. They call him Mr warmth 😅
Yes, Rickles and Dangerfield were why so many comedians were able to sleep and eat until they got their break. When I was a kid it was a right of passage to be allowed to stay up and watch Johnny Carson
I just had to explain to my wife the importance of being CALLED TO THE COUCH on Carson lol
I also liked Carlin and think he was up there with both of them wicked smart and funny as hell. I miss all the great comedians
The thing about Rickles is, every time they tried to script him on a TV show, it wasn't as funny as just letting him go. As a matter of fact, I've seen videos of outtakes on shows, where they would spend most of the day laughing when he'd go off-script. There was no one like him, not one. Do more! :)
The Dean Martin roasts are a must!!
The Reason Don was able to get away with everything he said was because behind the curtain, he was one of the most loving and caring man to everyone around him.
Don Rickles was literally one of a kind. I was obsessed at one point watching every video I can find on youtube.
You have to see Don Rickles in the Roast of Dean Martin. He is amazing!
I saw Rickles in Vegas in the 80's......LEGEND. Thanks for the memory.
Don Rickles at the Reagan inauguration with Webster introducing him is hilarious along with the outtakes from the movie Casino when he lays into Deniro.
When he was uncensored on stage...wow.
You laughed to you were wiping tears from your eyes.
I'm 70, and was able to see the greatest stand ups.
Please lists to Redd Foxx on 78 rpm records.
Total greatness.
I love your content. Thank you.
I heard from a few famous comedians that were apparently close to Rickles - after his passing - that Don would apparently be genuinely upset almost to the point of being DEVASTATED the few times he found out that someone had taken one of his insults to heart
I feel fortunate to have watched The Tonight Show. Sooo good
Hey , Ned from Spain to say thanks for checking the Merchant of Venom Don Rickles. What you said at the end is what the difference is between humor and hatred. One of my favorite Rickles on Carson spots was with Buddy Hackett telling an incredible story showing off Don's cool head and ability to get himself out of some serious trouble during a show. You'll also notice the times when Johnny gets in a good one, Don gives him credit and doesn't try to top it, unless it makes sense. There are still some great comedians but so many lousy ones you gotta work to find them.
I've heard "The Sultan of Insultin" but I've never heard "Merchant of Venom" before! That's a good one!
Find the tape of where he appeared roasting President Reagan. Absolutely hysterical.
You're right about those old comedians. They were true showmen
Don Rickles on the David Letterman show was always hilarious - can't go wrong with any of those clips.
Polo what a great channel. I am glad I found you. You are bringing a smile to a society that desperately needs it now.
He was what was then referred to as an "insult comic"--not jokes, just non-stop improvised insulting--correction, Don Rickles is THE insult comic. He was also in his private life very generous and kind.
one of the greatest of all time. RIP
The way Johnny laughed at that Jay Leno joke @10:53. 😂
Oh his stuff from the 70s was amazing. And Johnny was the one that gave him the nickname “Mr. Warmth”
All 3 of them are World war 2 legends Carson & Rickles in the navy & Ed a highly decorated marine fighter pilot who was called back into service for Korea & retired as a brigadier general same as Jimmy Stewart. Real hero's.
On stage he was the original assassin. Thr rude assassin. but in person all said he was one the kindest humans they had ever met. Also when Don Rickles met you, and learned the names of your wife and children even if it had been 10 years and he only met you once he would recall the names of the family.
when he was on stage, he would heckle the hecklers before they would even get a chance to heckle him!
Don Rickles IS the Best Insult Comic Ever!
He pushed our thinking without being offensive!
Brilliant Mind
I hope you explore more Don Rickles he was hilarious and everyone was a target.
Don Rickles was sharp until the end .. real comic love him .. ✌️😎✨
His comedy was savage but at the end of his shows he always said that he never believed what he was saying but that he wanted to point out the prejudices people held and exposed those attitudes as ridiculous. In his real life he was a teddy bear of a guy who worked a lot of charities and contributed to many.
Still, people lined up to be insulted by him.
He was once in a Beverley Hills restaurant where the entire staff lined up to be insulted by him. One South American busboy walked up to the table and Don Rickles handed him a twenty dollar bill and said “Now send this back to your country and tell your mother to buy a house.” The guy loved it.
That’ll never happen again.
Absolutely, no hesitation. The best to ever do it.
Rickles tells a story from back in the day when he was trying to get laid, and Sinatra was also at a different table, Don goes over to Sinatra and asks if he can stop by and say hello, he would get the easy piece……. Sinatra stops,, says hello, and Rickles explodes for interrupting his date……. Top shelf
13:12 I’ve been married for 38 years now and I’ve really enjoyed the last seven years since she moved back to Texas … nice and quiet no drama and no nagging problems 🤔🤔😂😂🤠I still live in California and Arizona 🤘
My husband and I went to see Don Rickles, and we laughed the whole time, no let-up.
I made a point to see Rickles perform on stage in Vegas in his last year of his life. He was over 90 not very mobile, but still had the audience laughing.
He was about the only person in the world who could go on Carson and insult him and make fun of his personal life...hilarious man!!!
Robin and Rickles. Two quickest funniest minds of the 20th century.
That was back when everybody didn't get offended and comics could say funny things!
Rickles ad-libbed pretty much everything. He couldn't sit down and write a joke but put him in front of an audience it poured out of him spontaneously.
A funny thing about Carson was written on his Wikipedia page about how as an extremely private person he handled being personally interviewed: "He normally refused to discuss politics, social controversies, his childhood, and his private life with interviewers, and offered a list of written answers to journalists who wanted to ask him questions. Among them were "Yes, I did," "No, I didn't," and "No. Kumquats."
You need to watch the Dean Martin Roasts. Especially when Rickles is on their roasting Frank Sinatra or just about anybody that was on the stage.
Great reaction done with common sense and your usual class. An absolute must is Foster Brooks roasts Don Rickles -seen it a dozen times and I still laugh -you will not be disappointed..
His Dean Martin celebrity roasts were legendary. Check out when he roasted Redd Foxx. Hilarious!
I watched Don Rickles since the 70's whenever I could, he is one of a kind. The reason he was so successful was that he was a really loving person and cared about all races but made fun of everyone. He made fun of you and at the end he wished you well and said he loved you and meant it. If you want to see some of his best stuff the watch the Dean Martin Roasts. Foster Brooks was another hilarious comedian (The Fake Drunk). We don't have comedy like that anymore. Plain old fashion ribbing, no real harm that's why he was a legend.
Please watch Foster Brooks roasting Don Rickles the laughter just doesn't stop!
He had no filter. If you REALLY want to experience his stand up, he did albums (not sure if they are in other format), but he was a killer live. NO one was safe. And you will hurt from laughing.
Rickles was a genius, his jokes weren’t ever meant to offend but to make ourselves realize we are all n it together.
The start is not formal. Don was so sarcastic that the music was his fancy entrance to almost anything he did. He would appear on the local news to talk with the news anchors and they would even play the music. He was a great comedian.
Most people today have to be offended on principle but you are right, it wasn't done with any bad intentions back then or most comedians today still don't have bad intentions, it's humor. Believe it or not, there are stereotypes and everyone thinks about them, jokes are funny. Too many just HAVE to be offended so they can complain. Sit back and enjoy, laugh, it makes the world an easier place to be.
"Back in my day", a fairly common response to "How's it going?" was "I'd complain, but who's gonna listen?"
My, how the times change lol
Dave Attell And Jeff Ross. You have to see them together to get these kind of vibes.
When you fuck with someone, its a sign of respect.
The jokes about Star Search are aimed at Ed McMahon (the guy on the left), as he was the host of that show...
Look up when tickles breaks Carson’s cigar box.
The one with Letterman and Denzel Washington is a great one!
I saw Don Rickles in '93 opening for Sinatra and ... what cam I say, he was Don Rickles. It was s great evening.
I loved when Don rickles was on the Johnny Carson show especially when he was the guest host. I was laughing so hard I was in tears
I remember watching these Tonite Show episodes when I was in high school and Don was such a savage. Nobody made my dad lol like Rickles did. Nobody was safe from him but he was not a racist. People understood in the 70s what satire was and we all just laughed. I wish we could go back to how people in this country were like back then.
My favorite comedian and I'm in my 40's. Hope you do more. You have a great personality bro.
I agree 💯 with what you said.👍 Mr Don Rickels was fast in his jokes, without doubt he was a very intelligent man .
Chrck his live vegas act,savage af!
When I was a kid I always hoped to rise to a level where I would get ripped by Don Rickles
He spared no one and in that way he was incredibly fair with his insults.
You should watch the episode were Johnny stops the show to go next door and stops Don Rickles recording his own citcom. Because the night before Rickles subbed for Johnny. And broke his cigarette box on his desk on the show.👏👏
I once met a rabbi and Don was at his synagogue for a bat mitzvah. After serviced, Don came over to him and said, "so they tell me you're also a rabbi." The rabbi just walked away, he didn't know how to respond.
you need to watch his" most savage burns" where he goes throughout the audience and burns regular people as well as celebrities. Hilarious!!
Sammy davis said when those who care about you quit making fun of you that's when they stop giving a damn about you. Need to get back to that
Don Rickles never prepared. He just came out and said whatever came out of his pie hole.
There is a video clip where they are doing a tribute to Martin Scorcese and he stands up in the room and just roasts, Scorcese, Deniro and other famous actors in the room. Hilarious.
He was considered 1 of the 1st insult comics is how he was descibed..Joan rivers also.
His appearances on Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts were epic.
Watch him on stage, roasting the hell out of every gender, race, religion, etc. That's where his true talent lies and where he really shows off that amazing wit.
Tracy Morgan was really close with Don Rickles, he has a very emotional moment talking about his death.
I don't know how I stumbled across you but you are wonderful. Honest but I love how you like some things that seem unlike who I would think you are. This is why all this stuff transends anything! Keep it up.
Don Rickles was the greatest put down artist ever
I really appreciate your perception on Don Rickles. He was a WW2 Vet and really loved people. He comes off as this Jewish racist, but he was far from that. He was a dude who loved to hate EVERYONE and it was funny! But he was such a sweetheart!
Some even older comics to take a look at: Flip Wilson (Geraldine is wonderful!), Godfrey Cambridge, Burns and Schreiber (and also just Avery Screiber) - I grew up in the ‘50s and ‘60s, and it was a rich time for stand-ups! Rowan & Martin, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bob Newhart, Steven Wright, Jonathan Winters, Joan Rivers, Totie Fields, Moms Mabley, Redd Foxx, and even Bill Cosby. Dick Gregory, Jack Benny, George Burns, Garry Shandling, Alan King, Jackie Mason, Shelley Berman, Paula Poundstone and Gallagher. There are more, but sadly, I don’t remember their names - there were so many! Dip into this list, and have a good laugh!
I don't remember who said it, but i once heard someone say it was an insult to NOT get insulted by Rickles
Rickles was a genius. Timing perfect
Yes. Don Rickles came up through a period of time when YOU HAD to be funny. Obviously. In todays entertainment world and the WOKE Cancel Culture, his brand of comedy would be his ruin. I'm just happy that we had him when we did. He is truly an icon in comedy history.
Just a note; Don Rickles had a sitcom in the 70"s "CPO Sharkey" worth a watch really😂
In those days, you weren't anybody until you got roasted by Rickles.
I like Don Rickles Comedians that make you wince a bit and leave you thinking after " Should I have laughed at that" especially the racist jokes But like Polo said and I loved his comments As long as it doesn't come from a place of hatred I mean look at the edgy stuff Richard Pryor did back in the day He was waaaaaaaaay OTT with some of his gags but the way it was presented you were in fits cause these guys know when they've gone too far We have a guy here in England called Micky Flanagan So if anybody reads my essay check him out The humour is slightly different to American style but just listen and you'll find him very funny Cheers Polo and everyone Keep smiling You'll enjoy life more x from David Andrews East Anglia Coast England 🤣🍀🇬🇧🇧🇷🇮🇹➕🙏🌒🇺🇸🏴🏴🏴❤️📺👍
He attacked everyone. Even Sinatra
If you watched any of the Toy Story movies, you do know a toned down Rickles. He voiced Mr. Potatohead.
The legend of insult comic. King of sarcasm.
