dean martin,foster brooks and don rickles...

start the day with this dean martin video,just a good laugh,it's a very funny clip....

YouTube - Foster Brooks on Dean Martin Roasts

 

Dean Martin is one of my many favorites what a cool guy. Great clip bought those celebrity roasts for my dad a couple of years ago for his birthday. Nice to start the day with a laugh.

 

I enjoyed those old roasts myself, Brooks was a particular favorite. The "new" roasts on Comedy Central are a put off as far as I'm concerned. It seems the newest brand of "comedy" cannot be done without over use of profane words and implications. No class at all, just f this and mf that ad infinitum. Gets boring and I just change the channels.

 

Clint, that just seems to be the norm unfortunate as it is. These new guys can't hold a candle to Hope, Skelton, Ball, Lewis, etc. TV is the same to I have to shows l like the Office and Lie to me. The rest is just mind numbing junk. With the exception of the History and Military channel.

 

100% true clint,eric new comedy cannott hold a candle to those great comedians of the past.and is sadly all about swearing? who needs it!comedy sells itself and funny without having to resort to 4 letter words,good call guys,ray..

 

I too was a big fan of Dinos. He was great as "the Drunk" (Borochine) in: Rio Bravo. He was also great as one fo the Elder Bros in; The Sons of Katie Elder. I grew up watching his celeb Roasts.

 

hope youtube is watchable now carl,here's the duke duet...


YouTube - Dean Martin John Wayne: Everybody loves somebody Sometime

 

Hi ray, I can now watch it but only on public library computers which unfortunately-don't have sound ;-)

Thanks for the Duke link though ;-))

 

thats a shame carl,your welcome,ray..

 

Thanks Mate-and yup, ill have to go use their computers tomorrow.

Oh and, I got to see Don Rickles on Thursday at that Dinner club I menioned that he was doing a show at here in Austin. Well, the place was packed but-I did what I said I was going to do which was that I yelled when he came on stage: "Hey Crapgame! Long Live Crapgame!" He looked into the audience and said: "Don't Tell Big Joe That Your A Fan Of Crapgame! Or Big Joe Is Going To Kick Your Ass!!" Several people in the crowd laughed because they knew of his character from Kelly's Heroes-and for those who didn't seem to know of the references made-he briefly explained it and then most of the crowd roared with laughter.

Am I a public scandal or what? :-D

 

had a great night then carl, good when the reparte is funny...ray.

 

Hi Ray, I sure did. It was a tad bit expensive too but well worth it. I had hoped that an opportunity would have happened for me to meet Mr. Rickles. He was funny and I loved his comeback to my Crapgame line ;-))
