Foster Brooks was the only person in this whole series of Dean Martin Roasts who consistently destroyed the dais every time he appeared, especially Dean Martin. Always my favourite roaster. Thanks Mr. Brooks.

[@Fultonfalcons86]

Foster Brooks the funniest drunk who never drank lol

[@georgereynolds3422]

His routine is less than six minutes, there isn't a single vulgar word, and he totally owns the stage. He has Don Rickles about to cry, he's laughing so hard, and the others on stage as well. Pure talent, class, and confidence.

[@gregphillips6707]

Wouldn't you just once have loved the camera to pan back so you could watch the whole table of guests react? My gosh...I've never ever heard Don Rickles laugh so hard in my life!

[@williammaloney8434]

I really enjoy these roast. Very funny bring them all back.

[@frankbrugierjr.1242]

I've actually had the fortune of meeting Don Rickles once, many years ago at the Resorts Casino in Atlantic City. It was his last performance after having done around 30 years there. Truly a class act. He was a pistol off stage as well as when he was on. He was the best at his style of comedy. Foster was in great company the night they roasted Don!

[@glenharrison2117]

You are so right,, legend talent

[@frankbrugierjr.1242]

It's mind-boggling when you think of all the comedy legends on the stage alone. I've noticed that there are some in attendance who are in the audience. I mean, wow! I see a very diverse table of people up there. In this day and age, when all people want to do is call each other racists, these people actually made fun of themselves and each other and laughed about it.

[@cliffnelson1174]

Foster Brooks was great....he would do the drunk bit almost at every roast and he always pulled it off without it ever getting old and worn out.....classic old school comedian.

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

And he never broke character, either.

[@Fredroc57]

What is so amazing about Foster Brooks is that he never breaks character. I don't think I have ever seen him crack a smile or laugh while in character doing his bit. When you have a room full of people laughing it's extremely difficult not to laugh at what you just said or did. He was definitely the tops at his game.

[@CHRISTINEAZ]

He's amazing

[@moorlock2003]

It always amazes me how the greatest comedians can stand stone faced while saying the most outrageously funny lines.

[@kohashiguchi1454]

Yes, and as soon as his bit is over, he *COMPLETELY* breaks out of character and becomes his regular self. I saw this show when it first aired---I was eighteen.

[@davef.2811]

Enormous discipline and self-control to perform his act successfully.

[@Etnalleb]

Foster Brooks was no Harvey Korman who couldn't hold a straight face telling a joke even if his life depended on it. Brooks was in a class by himself. He was just side-splitting funny and to think he never drank . LOL.

[@kathyyoung1774]

This and Tim Conway’s elephant story are the two funniest comedy routines ever.

I'm a Brit and I just love this old time Yanky humour, delivered by exceptional professionals. These were the days when we knew how to take it on the chin and were not looking to be offended 24hours a day, or offended on behalf of others. Shame to think they're all gone, because we'll not see their like again.

[@williamnorton9547]

copferthat That's what truly breaks the heart. I'm not sure how it is in the UK, but the FCC in committed an act of war when they took Saturday morning cartoons off the air. When I was a kid (before I got into school) I used to watch Saturday morning cartoons and Saturday night British comedies.

In the 60s 70s in the 🇬🇧 we had Tommy Cooper, in the 🇺🇸 you had Don Rickles. People who made people you cry laughing just by walking on stage. There aren't any funny professionals around today. Political correctness and trying to be clever comedy have killed show business.

Although the so-called 'Social Justice Warriors' speak of equality for everyone, there's a great deal of narcissism involved; It's a great deal more about them than about those they're claim to champion. Let's not forget about how they're actively looking for excuses to be offended. What do you wanna bet that when it's finally _their_ turn on the chopping block, gallows, stake etc, they're gonna be screaming things like "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!!", "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!!!!!!" or "I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG!!!!!", the last one often said by angels of death after they're caught.
