Foster Brooks - Foster Does More in '94

[@kbrawn]

More than once on the Dean Martin Show this man put me on the floor laughing. His roast of Don Rickles is a classic.

[@stereodreamer23]

When Foster passed in 2001, it was a HUGE loss to the world of comedy. However, if he were alive today, he would be shocked and disgusted with the entertainment industry and society in general, because it's completely lost it's ability to understand and appreciate humor. It's probably a good thing that he died when he did, or else he would be a heart-broken person, seeing what has become of our society...

[@jocked07]

i saw him live in portland, oregon when he opened for the carpenters in a 12,000 seat arena. he had the place packed within five minutes and was on for an hour, including two encores! he was a comedic genius!

[@tonyshelnutt3005]

One of the greatest. Pure comedic genius.

[@collette9008]

He was my favorite one on all the Dean Martin Roasts. I never missed a Roast or a Dean Martin Show either. I once fell off the couch when he called Telly Savalas Tony Saliva.

[@LJ-ht4zs]

Foster Brooks was unbelievably funny on the Dean Martin Roast of Lucille Ball - Will never forget it. Lot of people were funny on that show, but he was over the top. Lucy could not stopped hitting the table. (That's what she does when the comedy is hot.)

[@edwardwilliams2438]

Foster has a beautiful head of hair..I beat he would have made a wonderful Santa Claus. Mr.rooks comedic timing is just stellar...to portrait a convincing drunk is very impressive. I understand he was not a drinker of alcohol. And I was equally surprised that he has a beautiful singing voice....What a talent...sorry we lost him 2001.

[@carolynray75]

A great comedian!! And very talented singer!!

[@sasvanwyk5886]

The moment he started singing, that was when the laughter stopped even though the words of the song seemed funny to me (made up by himself?), nobody wanted to drown that voice with laughter. What a multi-talented guy he was. Thanks for this video.

[@jelt110]

Loved this guy since I was in grade school. Nobody else my age understood his humor.

His Dean Marttn roasts were the best! Was a longtime local radio DJ and didn't start his comedy career until he was older!

62 or 63! Before tv gave him his big break! ❤

[@glennatkinson4816]

I’ve always wondered how his brain came up with those multi-topical, multi-faceted jokes... And his memory... How did he remember all that material he came up with??? Truly AMAZING!!!

[@bernieleclerc9100]

Comedians have writers working for them

[@TheDriveInGuys]

Mr. Atkinson: I'm sure he must use cue cards to help him remember.

[@terra2730]

You repeat something over and over again and you start to believe it😂😂😂

[@noneofyourbusiness9369]

​@@bernieleclerc9100Actually he wrote all his joke's and used his life experience. He was a recovering alcoholic he was opened about his recovery. Foster Brooks was a wonderfully funny and kind man.

[@peggywelty5139]

Remember watching him when I was young loved him then and still do.I didn't know he could sing.

[@peggywelty5139]

Thank you for what I had to say about one of the funnyest

[@rege9433]

As a Roaster on the Dean Martin show he was original and would automatically give me belly laughs, which were good for my health. He certainly personified the adage: “ Laughter is the Best Medicine.” Had no idea he left us in 2001. Hope you are Resting in Peace, Foster

I worked on his jeep back in the day saw him entertained pretty school kids he was just as funny in privet as public

[@russellrobinson505]

What a man!👍😎

[@pamelajordan5948]

Acting drunk was part of his act so funny

[@dixonnegron1083]

Kinda sad watching with all his friends being gone. Comic genius

[@violetwagner7588]

Wow. That is awesome. Did he act like he was drunk?

[@pamelajordan5948]

Always 😄😀😃

[@michaelplog363]

As I've heard it, he'd actually developed this "Drunk-Style" shortly after having given-up drinking entirely. I'm sure there would be a Bio somewhere that would address this question. He certainly became a legend in the business in-part because of this method. Hilarious to watch him work.

[@johnmanley2590]

It was only an act . He did it better than anyone

[@RubenRodriguez-lc4ky]

That's why he did a bow at the end of most of his shows... any cop knows an intoxicated person can't bow without continuing forward and falling down.

[@schattenmygirl]

Thanks for posting this So many of his actions and antics are so true to from days gone by with friends long gone. His actions are SO natural for an "Unsober Person" BUT TO DO IT SOBER is impressive. Many comedians are good doing skits like this but seldom compare. Red Skelton had a different delivery with his infectious humor .. Just "CLEAN" humor... I enjoyed this

[@markschaumann3012]

If you haven't seen it you should also watch Don't Laugh You're Next. Another hilarious Foster Brooks show. It's about the same length as this one.

[@tomdickson769]

Thank goodness

[@hdentaldude]

I thought he had stopped with the drunken humor after MADD got on him for it, but obviously not if he did this in ‘94!!??

[@richardfolkman]

MADD has never seen a drunk parking his or her's car and walking home because they were responsible enough to realize they shouldn't drive. I can't make a joke when MADD is involved, I'll tell you. MADD can't accuse Foster Brooks of advocating drinking and driving, either. Try it. He never did. Foster made my WWII veteran father laugh so hard, I thought he was going to pop. Take care.

Hey everyone, at 29:07, what was the punch line. I couldn't understand it.

[@carolynray75]

Mark Russell I listened 3 times & I didn't understand the joke as well. I think he might have messed it up.

[@TheDriveInGuys]

I didn't catch it either, Mark. Sounded like: "Well, if that ain't fair I'll catch your ass." - which makes no sense.

I would have liked to see him Perform as this Character while Actually Drunk. That would have probably been a challenge lol.

[@Rusty-j9f]

He stole rodney danger field jokes bum!

[@reggriffiths5769]

There comes a time in everyone's life when they need to stop doing what they do, and I'm afraid FB (at that time) had gone way beyond that point. I'm sorry to say that this show made me feel embarrassed for him. Once a great drunk mimic, but the lustre had long gone. It happens to us all, and this was about as funny as watching paint dry. I think he was already dead but hadn't caught up with the fact. It's so sad to see this kind of demise in people we like.
