This is a hilarious clip I found on YouTube from the Dean Martin Show. Don Rickles lays into Governor Reagan with funny results. This video is probably from September 1973.

OMG that funny you could find anything on YOU TUBE

[Bahbah]

That was funny. Not one dirty word.

Thanks for the guffaws!

Seven,

If you think that’s funny, check out some of the related roast videos. The episode featuring Rickles as the roastee has an awesome clip or two.

That’s what I liked about it. It proves humor was possible without the vulgarity of most of today’s so called comics.

Rickles was a genius. I think he’s still alive and performing shows, too.

Don Rickles was the funniest satirist on this planet, when he was kind.. he could be ever so Cruel as well.
Ronn Dog took it all in good humor and proved himself to be the last Gentleman standing.

I have so much respect for President Reagan,
Now there was a real MAN.

Don Rickles is my favorite comedian: If you haven’t seen it, rent “Kelly’s Heroes” with Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Donald Sutherland and Gavin MacLeod.

I wish you could get those Roasts on DVD. I’d love to buy a whole set. I’m only 43, but I remember that stuff clearly and would laugh when the old man had it on the TV.

Fun to see all the good pros again. Humor was at its best then. So nice to see Reagan. Thanks.

Jack Benny next to Reagan, I noticed. Another legend.

Rickles was a genius. I think he’s still alive and performing shows, too.

Yes, he is. He did some shows in Las Vegas not long ago. This was great - best thing I've seen on FR in weeks!

Dean Martin was a steel worker and a prize fighter before his career in acting, according to a bio I looked up.

If you want a walk back in time, rent or purchase Ocean's Eleven - the real one - from 1960.

My DVD is the wide-screen version. It also comes with a complete replay of the film with voice-overs from Frank Jr. and Angie Dickinson.

Those roasts were outrageous. I remember two specifically: Joe Namath and Howard Cosell. We laffed our rears off.

Nothing today can even come close. We Baby Boomers were lucky to have had such great entertainers from the WWII generation to amuse us.

Burning bridges all the way.wolf,wolf

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

OMG,Check them all out.Foster steals the show as well.I was at least an hour laughing and I am still whipping the tears away.

[xuberalles]
