“You have no lines, Julia, just nod”. By far, the funniest line in his whole spiel. Classic Rickles. 😅

He slaps your ego to the floor, shouts it into the ground, then he picks you up and salutes what actually matters. Delightful.

LMAO! I've watched this about 10x just for him to say that! Totally amazing how the man never used a quecard, or notes his whole career, sure he repeats some of his jokes, but there's few comedians that don't.
You can see the physical pain Don was going towards the end there. And he fought through it to deliver. Starts by busting balls but always ends it with leaving tears of joy after tears of laughter. You are missed Mr Rickles
Don Rickles... the only man who could rip you apart and then with the deepest sincerity tell you how much you mean to him and you can't help but smile the entire time. RIP Don, we will miss you.

You know you are a comic legend when people thought you were hilarious from your late 30s until your passing. He did say on his many interviews that he was never a joke teller so he had a rough start and realized he could make people laugh when he interacted with them so he rolled with that. I'm so glad he did. If you hadn't seen them already, check out his roasts. The man was not only funny but was pure class. Check out his interviews too especially the ones with Tom Snyder... always cracks me up whenever I watch that. Really never gets old .

Don Rickles is a comic legend. His mentor was Milton Berle and whenever I feel down I go back to Don Rickles roasts in the 60s. Didn't matter if he made the same jokes it still made me laugh whenever I watched them. Possibly the golden age of comedy when people actually dressed to the nines, no one really cared about political correctness, and people knew how to laugh at themselves. Don't get me wrong there are still funny people out there now but will never hold a candle to the legends of comedy. The fact that he started roasting A-list celebs in his late 30s with a crowd with the likes of Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra... then 50 years later roasted A-list celebs like Martin Scorsece, Robert De Niro, Johnny Depp... and got them rolling in hysterics. That's a mark of a true comedic legend right there.

they don't make comedians like this anymore. legend.
What a class act! Already miss him
How does Don do that? He can light up the entire room with one liners, and then bring everyone close to tears by being heartfelt the next minute, like it’s nothing.
I've watched Rickles from the early 70s and I don't think there's been one time that I didn't laugh out loud. Even with the lines that he repeats over and over, I still laugh. Something about the attitude, the delivery just made him hilarious. He never seemed to have any kind of a prepared routine. Just came out and started ad libbing these gems. Amazing talent. In my book he's the greatest comedian of all time for the simple reason that he made you laugh more than any other.
Many people never realized that Rickles had a lot of class. His insults to people was his show, his act. Nobody has had the balls to do what he did. He was a pro at it. I loved the guy.
