We met him at the Las Vegas Airport. Nobody seemed to know who he was. One of the nicest guys ever. He didn't drink at all

[@johncronin9540]

@@TELEVISIONARCHIVES The irony is that he couldn’t do his act if he really was drunk. He just wouldn’t have been able to get the comedic timing down. He was also very creative in writing the material. I remember pundits talking about one half a person out of every 100 voters. 1968 was a very close election. But Foster brings that “analysis” to a new level with the crack about which half of a person voted for Nixon.

[@reubenstevens5884]

Agreed about being a national treasure. But they're were many great comedians that could make others cry while laughing. First that comes to mind is Tim Conway.

[@darrinward8170]

The Democrats have not had a real leader since John F. Kennedy. In fact JFK was a true American Hero. I am not a democrat or a republican ...I am an independent , and that means I have the capacity to think for myself. This is not the proper site to have a debate about politics. This is a site to get relief, so Google user ...why are you here spreading crap ? Don't you guys preach stop the hate? Hate is the only thing you are spewing here !

[@darrinward8170]

I understand you're frustration...but you bring up a civil war so lets go over history a little bit. I would like to start by going over a speech given by a great president in my lifetime and I quote " The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies ...to secret oaths ...and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago... that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts... far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today... there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today... there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation... if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger... that an announced need for increased security... will be ceased upon by those anxious to expand its meaning... to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. " John F Kennedy 1963 So what is JFK telling us here? He is trying to inform the populous about what we call today ( The New World Order ) John was fighting this back in 1963 and it cost him his life. In fact we would not be here to have this conversation had anyone but Kennedy been in office at that time. So let's talk about the race thing a little. Trump was never called a racist until he ran for office... in fact he was thanked by many black leaders for his treatment of African Americans. Now he is racist, fascist, and other sorts of things. So let us look at the Obama administration for a moment. I was in hopes that Obama would help bring the country together , but as a result of his policy, the racial tension clock has been turned back 50 years. I would know because I was around during the 1968 riots. Trump is not the one who caused racial tension in this country. Trump did not sell our missile secrets to China or our uranium core to Russia. We have Hillary to thank for that. Yet , Hillary is free when she should be on trail for high treason. So ask yourself this question... Do we wait for Kim Jung Un to perfect long range ICBM's ? A man who has said he will nuke Japan, South Korea , and the United States. Now Australia is in that group too. What Kim Jung Un has stated to the media is nothing short of a declaration of war. Our navy discovered that the remains of one of N. Korea's missiles indicated the staging of that missile used the same technology as China's , in other words it is our technology! We will have to deal with N.Korea one way or the other. So do we try and stop Kim Jung Un now, or wait until 30 to 50 missiles are launched at us from his shores to ours? There is a lot to think about, and you can forget about the main stream media telling you the truth... It is not going to happen! Donald Trump is fighting the same power that John F Kennedy was. I hope Trump can do what JFK could not. This is our country, not George Soros, the Rockefeller's, or the Rothschild's. You want to be angry...there is where you need to focus !

[@sixfivehigh1949]

I have tried searching for a long time to find out what Foster's final edited comment was that cracked them up (especially Dean). Still haven't found out. For me, it never gets old. This and the Rickles Roast are my favourites of many. So glad for this posting! Need a lift? Call on Foster!

This was one of the best Foster Brooks roasts ever in my opinion, Dean was laughing through this whole skit. What I never realized was at the very end when Dean completely lost it, to the point he doubled over and was wiping the tears away from laughing so hard. After everything Foster farted... Too bad that was unknown to everyone, the audience would've lost it as well. These roast clips can bring me out from depression to laughing in just a few minutes. Foster was one of a kind, even drunks couldn't do it any better and more amazing than anything was he never drank a drop. If you haven't watched Foster destroy Dean himself, hubie the boobie(this one), johnny carson, jackie gleason, don rickles, lucille ball, rowan and martin, and my personal favorite jack benny. There are others but off the top of my head these are the best ones to me. So we all thank the comedy gods for these roasts.

I just like to have my facts straight as well. In various clips from The Dean Martin Show, he played a drunk in a bar. At the end of the skit, he would stagger to the bar door, turn, look immediately sober and different, bow and walk out completely straight. Nonetheless, he was pretty incredible

Boy, I've enjoyed watching all these comedian's. You start laughing before they even said a word.☺ They were truly gifted. Thank you so much for sharing these. God bless you.

[@keithcarter412]

I love how Dean just looks at Foster and starts laughing.😆😆😆😆

[@MrAwesomeMatty]

I know Foster Brooks is one of the most legendary comedians of all time, but I would honestly say that this is one of his best performances. He had the entire crowd in stitches throughout the whole thing and to the point where some of them couldn't stop laughing at the end and Dean couldn't stand up straight.

[@tommyzielinski485]

I beg to differ, his roast of Don Rickles is better!

[@dirklerxstpratt2112]

@@tommyzielinski485 For me, it's a tie between his roast of Rickles and Sammy Davis Jr but this one is very good.

[@rongermanjr]

yeah, but there’s been tricky editing to this clip. foster squeezed a fart bag or something, pretending to blow a big noisy fart, that’s why everyone is hysterical at the end, the fart part was edited out.....

[@nooceluap7760]

My favorite is Foster roasting Don Rickles or maybe Lucille Ball...both awesome.

I loved Hubert Humphrey and this was Foster Brook’s best roast performance. I watched the original telecast in 1973 and was practically on the floor laughing when he made the Henry Cabot Lodge joke.

[@eddiechavez707]

I love this one. Have you seen the Don Rickel roast. Awesome

When Foster got plenty of laughter and applause before he even shared his routine, that speaks volumes about his talent!

Haven't laughed this much since this first aired back in the 70s.. Foster Brooks was just so damn funny. Thanks for the memories.

Do you know what the laugh at the end was? It seemed like they were all hysterical but the film seems as if it were edited.

[@jennywren7822]

@@djs3484 As I've said earlier it was a farting machine, Foster wanted to see if he could get away with it, he didn't. I think the audience heard it too it must have been loud. Shame it was cut....

Jack Tolleridge That's greatness!.....

[@cwpo1973]

Yes, though in this instance, he was intro'd as HH's 1968 (losing) campaign manager, and everyone knew Brooks' drunk act, so the whole premise was awesome. And sure enough, he starts off with (slurringly) wondering how they lost.

Thank heavens for KZbin and videos. I imagine/hope that people will be laughing with Foster Brooks long into the future. He is a stress reliever and a sanity saver.

[@mattheww7741]

What is so amazing is how he keeps a straight face - its almost automatic to laugh at your own joke when the response is laughter this makes him more than a genius..

[@dashriprock3468]

What makes Foster Brooks' act so great is that, according to an interview I read, he didn't just play a drunk person...he played a drunk person trying (but failing) to hide the fact that he's drunk.

[@smc1942]

Dash Riprock ; Yep! You nailed it!

[@krisscanlon4051]

It was his schtick just like Rodney Dangerfield very similar in that they didn't get popular until they were middle-aged. It's all in the material but also in the delivery. The jokes are funny on their own but even funnier doing his I'm not drunk routine

[@jameshilton1476]

What he said at the end was: "Here we are: a boozer and a loser!"

[@larryshaw2818]

thank you! i've always wondered what he said that had Dean falling over.

[@nooceluap7760]

Thanks, I couldn't catch what he said.

[@jwest142]

I remember watching these roasts when I was a kid. I think I was 11 or 12. They are still as funny today as they were then. The one thing I love about this is that everyone was laughing and having a good time. Foster Brooks loved to make Dean Martin laugh and it was so comical just watching Dean laugh. Brings back so many good memories. Comedy won't ever be like this anymore. Thanks for sharing this.

[@artbagley1406]

Foster always got the biggest pre-performance laughs and applause when he got to the podium. Remember seeing him on TV back in the 1960s; warped me for life! Still ROTFLMAO after all these years.

[@montag4516]

He had everybody, including Dean Martin, laughing harder here than even Don Rickles normally would.

You gotta watch Foster roast Rickkles. Don was cracking up as much as Dean does.
