Rickles kills me with his jokes to this day, but nobody ever wrapped up a performance with more heartfelt sincerity

[@nadjakorol]

You've summarized it so well he is the one and only that can do this kind of humor which according to today's standards would be considered scandalous. He always finishes is act with a touching conclusion.

[@ThekiBoran]

One of my favorite Rickles bits on a different roast was he told a joke that got some groans and boos, he said there's no booing, there's no booing, if there's another outburst we're gonna let Bob Hope get up and do his jokes!

[@FOHguy]

When my Dad and step Mom got married in Vegas, they went to see Don. Don found out they were newlyweds. Ripped on them for 20+ minutes. A day or two later, they went to check out of the hotel. They were told, "No charge. Mr. Rickles has taken care of everything" Gives you an idea of the type of man he really was.

[@orochikaiba]

That is an awesome story. Congrats to your parents. He is not known amongst other things as Mr. Warmth for nothing. Bless your parents

[@Carnell1Dixon]

Now that was a classy and beautiful thing for Don to do

[@AngryHatter]

He was the sweetest guy. I saw him a few times. It was obvious how much he cared. And how much he loved what he did.

[@garyhardwick8489]

I had never heard of Don Rickles until a few weeks ago. But I have spent a lot of time watching him on here since with tears in my eyes. The man is ridiculously funny, even today and always will be. My mother passed away recently and his humour is making the grief easier to bear. God rest him.

[@duanewatson9556]

He has that ability. It's tough 😪 what you are going through! God bless!

The thing that struck me the most (apart from his comedic genius and timing) was his command of the English language. Bear in mind there was no teleprompter in this setting. He was just so articulate. Phenomenal. You don't get this level of brilliance these days.

[@geraldhostettler4527]

Totally concur!

[@patjebond]

I believe there was a teleprompter because when you see Bob Newhart’s roast he will start with the joke “Bob Newhart spot”, which I believe is shown on the teleprompter

My mom and dad went and saw him hrs after getting married in Vegas. They took my aunt and uncle with them. This was in the late 50s and only knew he was a comedian. Dad said it was amazing, he and my mom thought he was hilarious, aunt and uncle thought he was the most insensitive, vile person they ever heard. Dad saw him 3x n Vegas, buying more expensive tickets each time trying to get close enough to be insulted. The last show Don was insulting a lady next to him, looks at my dad and asks her if he was her husband, she says no, Don looks at dad and says good, it looks like gods punished him enough. Dad loved Don Rickles, and being insulted by him, was one of the highlights of his life. Lol

[@djs3484]

Some people have NO sense of humor and take themselves too seriously. Don was one of the nicest guys you could hope to meet. It's his shtick , many people can't figure that out.

I'm in my early 50s and remember seeing a lot of these guys on TV, but I was too young to really appreciate how great they were. All of this amazing humor without a single cuss word! Don Rickles is by far, my favorite comedian ever! Sometimes I wonder if he ever runs out of gas. He keeps going and going and going.

[@jeffbavely2416]

He was the first guy I went to see in Vegas and I will NEVER forget him!

[@kenderen3736]

When all these great guys have passed on,the world has forgotten to laugh. They all made me laugh,and i thank them for that. Now,there's not much to laugh about anymore.

[@stephenstrang590]

I sadly agree. But then there are these videos and the entire population of historical televised performances, and that's quite something isn't it?

[@sg72646]

Very clever and much loved comedian. You have to notice the lack of profanities in his act making him, in my opinion, one of the greatest of them all!

[@garysimard5674]

True, but live, he uses profanities throughout his show. Its too bad really as he doesn't need it and these shows are proof.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

Never got the chance to see Mr. Rickles in person...but in the movies, & on TV, I could see he took his craft seriously, & had fun doing it. These roasts, while outrageous, had to be worth the price of admission easily ten times over. Try doing that today, & everyone will be suing everyone else. God bless you, Mr. Rickles!

RIP Don Rickles was the best. I have watched these original Dean Martin Roasts over and over again. Genuinely funny no bad language needed or coarseness. You can actually feel the love in the room. My favourites were Jonathan Winters roast of Frank Sinatra and every Foster Brooks roast.

[@johnjohns6181]

Don Rickles was a most blessed and wise man.

[@corvuscrow5485]

[@justthisguyyouknow666]

His speech at the end is really something.

Such talent. It's just not his material or his presentation it's the ad lib, the ability to improvise in those 'off the cuff' moments. You can't teach that.

[@nitemare507]

Yea, that's what I loved the most of Don. He's my favourite, because everything he said was just brought out of the box. Sure he repeated somethings in his act, but most was just thought of at that moment. That's someone special. People who got offended, or didn't like his comedy were/are just wound too freakin tight!

All in fun and never taken seriously. What has happened to the world today with every word we speak causing someone to file a lawsuit. Chill out people before we are banned from even speaking to each other.

[@mbass718]

I love that it's 2019.. almost 2020.. and one of the few things I like about the internet is getting to see Don Rickles crack me up all these years later. When you really need a laugh it doesn't get much better than Rickles. My parents loved him and it carried over to me. Hard to imagine his incredible brand of humor and put downs going over today in this world of political correctness. This was truly when people could laugh at themselves and take a joke. I would definitely put him in the top 10 all time greatest comedians. The only time you're not laughing hysterically at what he says is when he gets to the end and shows what a truly great human being he was! They really don't make them like this anymore... and that's a shame!

Beautifully said Mr Rickles🙌❤️🥰💙

[@TheAvenstar]

In 1977 I was in the clubhouse at Sportsman's Park in Chicago for the night racing card when I spotted Rickles at a table nearby. I gathered my nerve, got ready to be insulted, and took my program over and asked for an autograph -- politely. To my surprise Rickles asked my name, introduced me to the folks he was with, and offered to buy me a drink. I declined the drink, chit-chatted for a minute or so -- small talk about racing -- he signed my program, and I went back to my seat. I was at one of his last performances in Pasadena in 2016. I brought the same program he signed in 1977 at Sportsman's Park and took it back stage after the show. Now that program has two signatures on it. I'll never forget meeting him because he was the nicest celebrity I ever met.
