When he was coming up in the business, the people he made fun of lived knowing people would make fun of them and because of our culture they just had to learn to live with it. As time went by, those same people started to believe they have value beyond just being the butt of somebody's joke and with the support of people who agreed with them, started to stand up for themselves. To counter that 'revolution' right wingers came up with a word to describe them.....WOKE, which people like that do when they have no acceptable reasons for thinking or acting the way they do. I am not knocking Don. Due to the entirety of his routine, it is much easier to accept what he says, but in a sense, his making fun using stereotypes such as the interaction with the Chinese lady, is out of place in a world that has, literally 'woke' up to the insensitivity of that type of humor.

I got to interview him on the phone once. As we wrapped up, he said, "Is there anything else you need?" I said, "Well, I'd love it if you would insult me and hang up on me." He said, "Bill Newcott, I'm sick of you. Don't ever call me gain." And "click!" Thirty seconds later the phone rang. It was Don. "Was that okay?" he asked sheepishly. "'Cause I really don't like to insult people and run away."

That was awesome. What did you interview him for?

genius at work..insulted everyone with no cuss words. They don't make these people anymore. Dieing shame

Don if there's a heaven or hell, or something that resembles any of that, make them laugh until they let you comeback.

Only comedian I've ever known to use the same politically incorrect jokes over and over and over again and not curse (refreshing!) and still have the crowd in tears. Amazing!

back in his day "politically incorrect" didn't exist....now that everyone is a victim in one way or another, he wouldn't have had a career. Hope people realize that this woke crap is ruining much of what binded us all together.

@@fishpimp8584 Do you really think it 'binded' us with all the people being made fun of? You sure must have a warped mind to think the people being made fun of were made to feel part of the group when they were the butt of jokes. Oh, nice try making it seem like people are just whining when they protest being made fun of.

@@normanacree1635 You are precisely what's wrong with society today. It's ok to laugh and not view every word as some type of personal affront. Relax and try to remember everyone isn't always a victim of hatred or prejudice. First of all, he wasn't insulting people out of malice or prejudice; rather, he simply tried to make people laugh and entertain folks by joking about EVERYBODYS stereotypes, imperfections, etc. Obviously, it was well received or he never would have lasted 7 decades or so. Do you think people who attended his shows weren't aware of his schtick? His nickname was the sultan of swat. He always ended his "routine" by saying how much he respected those he was joking about. He may not be your cup of tea, so don't watch. But give me a break with your woke BS. Must be tough going through life so serious. Finally, regarding your idiotic comment about having a warped mind, this country is far more divided today, in my opinion, than in his day due to all the cancel culture and woke nonsense.

This has to be one of the best SNL Monologue's ever. I laughed so much I almost couldn't breath.

You should have seen his mic drop from the 1985 second inauguration gala for President Reagan. Great timing! (His entire set was uproarious that night. It’s available on KZread.)

Don was the best. Probably the most memorable opening monolouges SNL ever had

Had to watch this 3 times. Couldn't make it through it at 1 times. LMAO!!!!!!!!!

So glad he didn't have to struggle with his craft in the current cultural climate. When it comes to "roast" type comedy, he's the GOAT.

He was one in a million. He was able to get away with it because he was actually a caring soul and never meant any harm or foul to his targets - and they knew it. He also was an equal opportunity offender; nobody and no ethnicity was safe - including his own Jewish ethnicity. That’s why everyone wanted to be insulted by him. He was in actuality the polar opposite of his on stage persona. He also ended each segment with heartfelt, kind words about the person he insulted. You can’t fake that kind of sincerity. That is why he could get away with it. My favourite insult comedian of all time !! There will never be another like him.

At the time, he looked a little confused by it all, and I can't blame him if he was.

Mic dropped in the beginning and in the end. Enough said the king of kings of the roast.

Today is 4/29/24. Rickles is timeless. Watched this after 10 other Don Rickles videos today. He’s the best.
