Carrey is just a Jery Lewis wannabe. He's had no original idea or comedic bit in his entire career. You can see it all in Lewis' films and others... aside from being a political troll and douchebag....

Loved Rickles, he was like therapy. When you're feeling down just watch him in action, you will snap out of it.

That's true and rare, they snap you outta bad mood instantly. Same effect by Robin Williams or Ricky Gervais. Ironically, but they were/are living anti-depressants. Treasures. Unlike politicians... meh

When other comedians would line up for Don Rickles to insult them - that should tell you something. Nothing but respect. Being insulted by Don was a badge of honor.

Clint loved Don Rickles so much that he uses one of Don's favorite character Harvey Dickman as a fake name when he checks in hotels for anonymity.

[@BlueLineofthesky]

I feel soooo old now. As a kid I grow up with John Wayne movies and all this AMAZING, unbelivable talented artists of the '40s,' 50s, '60s,' 70s, '80s .... I can't even mention more names because they are so many and it will be very unfair. I was growing up into a society that was afraid of nuclear war but at the same time a society of amazing research and achivements. A society of amazing humans. TITANS that are maybe the only reason why I don’t totally hate this world. When the last of these people will leave this life ... I think my life will also end. We cannot live without landmarks, the light beacons that guided us throu life even more than our family.

Don Rickles has a magical quality when he roasts people. He can just call you trash to your face but still make you laugh. I’ve seen comedians make their targets uncomfortable during roasts but Don could say anything during a roast and have his target in stitches. Rest In Peace legend.

Shows the best friendship among them... Everyone should have a friendship like this, and those who have are all blessed...

[@miraclebigevent142]

I'm 64, married 37 years. Before cable here in Brooklyn, when my wife and I got married, a couple of years before VCRs (jeez, this sounds like a Rickles set-up line) the both of us would check out TV Guide magazine (remember print?) to see when Rickles was on Carson and stay up late. By 1982 or '83 one of the reasons why we got a VCR was to record unique live TV performances... invariably most were about Rickles. He was an insult comedian, who was not insulting. He laughed with you, never at you. He went close to the line, on the line, and over it sometimes, yet never cursed, etc. and was never mean spirited. What a loss to all of us this year. R.I.P. to Don Rickles.

[@billgrandone3552]

If you want to see Rickles get completely OWNED watch Foster Brooks take him on in Foster Brooks Roasts Don RIckles here on You Tube, If you haven't seen it please Do.

Why i keep going back to various don Rickles clips, is the fact he brought all ethnic qualities, genders, religions, together for a funnier look at life and not too take it so serious. A true great ahead of his time, who personally, got better with age! Rip Don, i had a cookie and went away!
