That is a bittersweet statement for me. Bitter, because people are so sensitive today and complain so much and that Mr Rickles is not with us anymore. Sweet, because he was able to do his things to full potential back then and not in our generation's time of over sensitiveness and snowflakeness. He is never offensive because you know that he is a real nice guy first then a comedian. The world will never have anyone like him ever again. He is a true Legend.

Good Old School Stuff right there!

I watched all of these Roasts when new on tv, but this particular Roast remains in my memory more than the others. I was 14, and in 8th grade when this one was shown. Rickles was hilarious, as was his sitcom CPO Sharkey. I watched all the prime time shows made during 1964 and every year afterward. The 1960s-1980s had the best shows of any decade. Most shows after 1990 have reeked, in more ways than one.

Wow; all this great talent is gone. How very sad.

Saw Don in Law Vegas many years ago. I sat behind Telly Savallas and Don had him on stage doing Greek dancing. Rickles was brilliant. As it became clear he was about to end some people got up to leave early. He called them on it and said, "Just for that I'm going to do 10 minutes more." And he did. He ended his show by saying that he hoped he had not offended anyone. "We are all different and we all have our funny sides. Hopefully we can laugh at ourselves together," he added. Side splitting entertainer.

Today 4letter words typify most comedians Don used intelligent wit great sense of humor and true human compassion RIP

Mate you never said a truer word it doesn’t get any better one of the greatest

Love it. Just so funny and everybody having a good time, drinking and smoking and nobody is offended at all. Don was pure class and acted with telly savalas in kellys heroes 1970, they remained friends. I think the clint eastwood jokes had a bit of kellys heroes attached to it. As they all acted together init. Dons humour and ability to make people laugh was at the top of the tree. No continuing swear words, just classy jokes about telly and the people thare. Man its like wee are living in a different age. With all the crap and garbage wee have to deal with now. So glad these clips and full roasts are available to unwind now and again. R.I.P Don Rickles, and Telly Savalas. I loved kellys heroes and Kojak.
