The Rat Pack!

[@catherinem7748]

I was 20 back in 1976, I remember watching this with my father, tears of laughter rolling down his face. All the greats that we grew up on that provided that much needed laughter. My father has passed away and many of the talents in that room have all left us, I miss those days, those shows , so I enjoyed this. Thankyou.

[@KiaPi2012]

Was not born nor was my birth in the realm of possibility then but I love these people they are hilarious and could take a joke. These days people are much more sensitive.

[@jahashwah]

@@KiaPi2012I agree. There is a stigma for everything now because of how everything could be magnified under the cancel culture microscope, and if that culture isn’t it, it’s just not being accepted. Loneliness carries a different weight, because we can see it on digital landscape, and that is terrifying because it is the landscape that is before our eyes at moments where we decide on; a moment that we make ourselves vulnerable (even to our own scornful judgement). This is likely of simplified, but seeing your comment really made me think about the social dynamics of then and now. While loneliness and depression was happening then, it’s happening at a younger age with each generation, and well we can be hard on ourselves because we don’t understand that a roast is meant to be light hearted. I don’t know about you folks, but I think at times I could take what someone says about me too seriously when I should have just accepted as jovial comical statement. Those good old days may trend one day if we ourselves could just accept a roasting with a little more cheer. I am thankful that you shared so I could think about all of this, and I think I will consider peoples actions and words under a different light.

Alan, I was 10 years old when this aired. These people were the BEST! I'm still a 20th century girl at heart and wish things weren't as complicated as they are now. Such fantastic comedy! I'm happy that I'm not the only one who appreciates it!

[@ErectedGasCan]

I was not quite around yet, as my father was only 13 when this aired. I have enjoyed all the performances that i have been able to find on VHS, DVD, the Internet and in books. The comedians of the past were better. Or then they allready told the best jokes... They do say that i seem older than i am, so maybe the explanation is that i was born later than expected. Or they really scammed me with a false birth certificate.

this is a prime example of how free speech works and the ability of the audience to not take offence of every word

[@maturin1919]

No it's not. Free speech is an agreement between the government and its people. This has nothing to do with the government 🤦

[@dannyruckert9359]

Yes it is. Totally agree. Free speech. And for those offended, free not to watch! 😂😂

[@patrickwayne9074]

Yeah and it was a very long time ago ☹️

[@Hootowls5]

​@maturin1919 In the United States, the First Amendment of the Constitution protects freedom of speech. The First Amendment protects even speech that some may find offensive, hateful, or harassing. However, there are some exceptions, such as speech that is considered a true threat. For example, if someone threatens to physically assault another person, their speech would not be protected. The First Amendment only protects against government interference, not private individuals or organizations. For example, a private employer can fire an employee for speech they disapprove of.

[@philipbonafede7320]

I met Dean Martin at his home in 1984. Perhaps the nicest and most friendliest person you ever met! We spent over 3 hours visiting. Will never forget it. He loved talking about Rio Bravo and the Duke! He said these were his favorite times, doing westerns with John Wayne!

[@jpaulglobal]

[@philipbonafede7320]

@@jpaulglobal Back during this era and because of the people I knew I was able to meet a lot of Celebrities at theirs homes because I was one of about 5 of the best and highest referred Massage Therapists in Palm Springs then. I was never into the notoriety just the interaction with these people. There is a long list but I did have to turn down business from people like Bob Hope who wanted Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays at 3pm which was already booked regularly with Sidney and Alexandra Sheldon. I even went to Europe with them in 1996. I also had their next door neighbor Kirk Douglas who was a quiet man... All in a lifetime! Now I work with dogs in my retirement years! Millions of stories... If we go back further to when I managed Two Bunch Palms Resort there were too many Celebrities to even say! From Beau Bridges to the Rolling Stones. Circa 1977- 1981...

Most of them are either sexual innuendos or just raw vulgarity and filthy language. In the days of the roast the family could watch the shows with the children and not be afraid of what the kids were hearing.

That surely says a lot about the kind of man he was.

[@toniwilson1579]

My favorite quote about dean, it show the type of man he was. His daughter Deana said her dad once said " He only work so his family will be taken care of after he is gone....other then that he work so he could play golf. His family always come 1st then golf. He was so easy goimg

[@jenparry718]

Dean's voice was like an uncle to me from the radio. I grew up listening to him. 73 years later that feeling is still the same. Never new what he looked like until i was a teen. His 60's hits made him more popular with television. He was so handsome. Bob n Bing everyone knew because of White Christmas. I remember my son getting his first compter. When he showed me how to work it, first thing i did was search lyrics i remembered from toddler days. I stil recall the day the Queens father died. I wasn't quite 3, but the house seemed empty without the familiar voices. Those are the entertainers that can never be replaced.

What a pleasant surprise that in this one from 1976, no less than six performers on the dais are alive and well with us as of my viewing today on 12/21/21: Gabe Kaplan (76), Tony Orlando (77), Joe Namath (78), Rich Little (83), Ruth Buzzi (85), and Angie Dickinson (90). May God bless them with continued health and life, and may He bless Dean and the others who have passed on to His care in His Kingdom.

Dean Martin was the coolest man on big or small screen and on records. Yup, comedy has changed but many comics back then were raunchy, live tv was just more rigid. What really impresses me is that a huge star is roasted by mostly contemporaries, now they are roasted mostly by people who wouldn't make a pimple on their ass as a celebrity.

[@86forever]

Jokes were Jokes back then too... Even if they were raunchy .. they weren't mean they were funny and People back then knew how to take jokes and how to laugh at themselves... UNLIKE MANY OF TODAY'S PEOPLE !!!!!

[@KratostheThird]

Television was more strict back then. Dean Martin I'm sure was raunchy off camera, but due to TV restrictions the jokes had to be presentable for a general audience.

i'd like to watch these Jewish guys rant about the governor who would have vacated the death sentences of every Nazi who perpetrated the Holocaust because of the inhumanity of the execution methods available in his state. He totally ignored the will of the voters and the courts and spit in the face of victim's friends and families who had been promised justice and closure.
