You can find him on The Dean Martin's Roast on KZread

My dad is 85, and I can remember him laughing out loud during Foster’s performances. Those where the good old days of comedy.

Definitely one of the greats Just wish he was still alive and I could see him in person Truly a master

A true genius who never fails to make me laugh out loud. Today’s comedians can’t touch the likes of him and Don Rickles.

Did you ever see Foster Brooks on the roast of Don Rickles? It was genius, especially the last minute of it. Anybody who can make Dean Martin cry with laughter and make Don Rickles laugh so hard he can't breath is doing it right! It was a sad day when Foster Brooks passed.

Instead of Gervais? yeah i'd prefer Foster too actually, even though i kinda like Ricky.

I can watch these clips 50+ times every few days, and still laugh uncontrollably at them. This is one comedian (amongst a select few of course) that always knew how to get a good laugh. I miss comedy like this. Not to say today's comedians are bad, though vulgar does come to mind, it's really nice to be able to look THIS stuff up and laugh the way you need to on bad days! RIP Foster! Your memory and comedy lives on!

He is unbelievably funny. I love watching him on the Dean Martin Roasts. Dean and Foster are phenomenal!

I absolutely loved Foster Brooks. He was so GREAT at his act of being the "Lovable Drunk." When Foster Brooks was in charge... the audience got to SEE A REAL COMEDIAN AT WORK!!!

FYI: The announcer was the late Charlie O'Donnell. Foster was a truly class act and his like will never seen again.

Thanks for this!!! Best Comedian in the 70's-allowed on tv that is, and I just saw one of my favorite country singers from the 70's, Larry Gatlin. Better get back to the show! I saw Steve Gatlin and Kenny Rogers. Damn, we've all gotten old.

oh yeah foster brooks THE MAN may he rest in peace .

wow-the variety, timing, subtleties... this guy was sharp. a real deal...

What a class act! He is missed his humor was priceless!

One of the funniest men ever. Prestigious Big shot! indeed.

No one could or ever will be able to do it like Foster Brooks !

I graduated high school in 1979 and Foster Brooks looks the same as he did back when I was even a lot younger than that! I believe I heard once that he actually was quite the teetotaler. What a Class Act every time!

I really like the way he went from, shtick to straight and back to shtick.

i can't stop watching him since im a teenager a ager teenager i watch him every night to laugh

An absolute legend.

For a man who never touched alcohol even a real drunk couldn't do it any better. See the video of him on The Steve Allen Show where Steve set it up so nobody knew what he was going to do. Steve's wife, Jayne Meadows, just sat there with her mouth hanging open. Watching these real comedians shows just how far we've fallen. Politics is the new "comedy".

I really love how you can see Mr. Brooks get into his character about15-20 feet on the stage after he is off the stairs. There is a whole difference in one moment wherein his whole gait and posture change. Just amazing to see that transformation!!!

FOSTER BROOKS IS 1 OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT CAN MAKE ME LAUGH , AND I GO IN 2 HYSTERICS EVERY TIME I C HIM !!!!!!

GREAT COMEDY!!!

Look up the 2nd and 3rd seasons of Mork and Mindy. He played Mindy's boss - both sober and drunk! He was the best. My son saw him just yesterday when I was playing my Mork and Mindy DVD's and he laughed so hard! He was so funny!

He plays/hams it up as a drunk. He's among the best comedians out ther past and or present

I saw him in 1982 in the Philippines, he did a USO show. Much enjoyed.

I've been trying to introduce my 26 year old daughter to the classics from my time; Dean Martin's Roasts, Carol Burnett, Johnny Carson, Hollywood Squares. As I watched many of them recently, I see that, like Foster Brooks here, they are usually specifically contemporary to their time. IOW, she'll never get them. It is sad because the humor from my time, 60's and 70's brought me many laughs. Now on my way to look up some stuff on Norm Crosby.

+ain't rite It is strange my dad introduced me to these funny comedians back in the 60's and 70's. It turns out we have the same taste in humor as I love clean humor or at least humor with little cursing in it. I will always be grateful to him for bringing me up with the classics that he enjoyed more so back then as I do now. Yes some people won't get silly humor like this nowadays because they may be a bit too stiff.

A legend and gentleman, RIP Foster.

Foster Brooks was the best of the best! “The Loveable Lush”. Do you remember his story tellings?

“Good luck to all the nominees, except the ones I don’t like.” Nice.

Foster Brooks was the best acted like a real drunk but in reality he wasn't he was so good at it when I first seen him I thought that he really was drunk until he was interviewed on the johnny Carson show when he said he learned from his dad that's how he became the famous drunk unbelievable

OMG- The 'point spread' on Dolly Parton. The most subtle double entendre I've heard in a long while.

The most rewound part of the video: when he uses his normal voice. As I did too, having never heard it before now. The man deserved a career in radio, at least, if he hadn't done comedy.

He's one hell of a comic.

The duality of man.

Does anyone else remember his cameo on Starsky and Huch / husky and starch?

Foster Brooks always cracks me up. But, Larry Gatlin’s blouse at about 1:10 in the video would look better on Dolly Pardon

Oh my God he is to funny

First time I've heard him break character..ever.

Announcer: Mr. Brooks! Foster? Foster: Is that you, God? The announcer sounds like Ralph James, who voiced Orson on Mork & Mindy. So, if that's right, we've got two alumni from the series.

Hilarious 😂

easy all time peerless

Foster Brooks could make you laugh just by talking or by trying to talk
