One thing Dean was known for on his show was his refusal to rehearse. So his reactions were completely spontaneous and genuine.

There will never be another Foster. He was the best and after 55 years I still laugh.

It really is a shame that we lost entertainers like these gentlemen. Real talent.

The skill and professionalism required to control that act is incredible. I love how Brooks bows out at the end - sober. Real class.

The guy was a genius. Not only could he mimic a drunk so well that it made you wonder if he was really smashed or acting the part. Not only that but he NEVER broke character. In all the time I have seen him act, the audience would be howling with laughter and he never so much as cracked a smile at his antics. THAT is the mark of a true professional.

Poor Dean, he couldn't keep a straight face! This is absolute gold! Thanks for posting!

Two class acts that cannot be replaced. Humor at its best, absolutely brilliant. Anyone can do bathroom humor and I mean anyone. Only real talent can do this. God bless them both may they rest in peace. They gave the world great happiness and joy. That is the greatest gift of all!

Foster Brooks played drunk better than real drunks.

Clean family-friendly comedy. Timeless. How mr brooks can keep a straight face while making everyone bust a gut laughing is just plain skills not many comedians now days have this ability

OMG!!! I saw these years earlier, watched them again and laughed harder than I have in months. Great comedy is truly timeless!!!

You can put those two sketches or whatever they're called on an endless loop for the rest of my life and they'll be funny every time.

Foster always reminded me of Tim Conway. Both were very skilled at getting their co-stars to crack up. RIP dear fellow.

I read a while ago that Dean Martin never knew what Foster Brooks would act as what kind occupation character he would be when he enters the club scene.

When I watch these I think of my Mom and Dad in the living room and my brothers and sisters running around the house playing. Back then you thought you would never age. What I wouldn't give to go back for one night and experience all that again. Mom and Dad are gone now so with one Brother, don't take anyone for granted.

There was a comedian who played a Mafioso gangster, Sammy Davis Jr, Don Rickles and on and on. Did those happen in the mid or late 70's? Seems like an eternity ago for me as well. Hey!

The best drunk actor ever.

It’s not just the line...it’s the “in the palm of my hand”, with that hand shaking for all it’s worth. Foster Brooks was hysterically funny...kudos to Dean for holding it together as long as he did!

These guy's were comic geniuses. Families watched these shows like this together and everyone just enjoyed good clean comedy and were entertained to the fullest. I won't comment on what's considered comedy today.

His brilliance will never pass again this way

So funny loved Dean's Roasts Foster Brooks was naturally funny

I love to see dean crack up lol 😂

You know whats amazing to me is how Dean starts cracking up pretty much almost emediately right when foster shakes his hand is when dean loses it and the skits done thats when i loose it to this is to funny this os comedy at its finest

Foster was an consummate professional. Well written material, fellow performers and audiences absolutely losing it and he never breaks character -- which makes it even funnier.

Love them both

Brooks always made a point of conspicuously slipping out of character at the end of a performance to show the audience that he was not actually drunk.

Foster Brooks was so believable playing a drunk. As a kid I thought he was because Dean would be belting them down and Foster comes on and let the antics begin.

My god this is hilarious 😂

There’ll never be a better comedian.

YES,MAY GOD BLESS FOSTER BROOKS!!!

Classic... Love it...😎

Golden moments

Okay. I'm old. The first time I saw Foster Brooks on "The Tonight Show." Carson was the host and no-one had ever heard of Brooks. Carson had just moved the show from New York to California. Brooks was introduced as the mayor of Burbank who had made a special trip to welcome Johnny to his new home. Dear Lord, but it was funny! Carson, of course, explained that it was not the real mayor of Burbank but a comedian named Foster Brooks. According to Wikipedia, that was in 1972 - and I still remember it . . . 46 years later.

Brilliant comedian

Foster Brooks was one of the few people who could make Dean Martin laugh until he cried 7:20

They just don't make them like Foster any more. What a class act!

Foster was a genius at his art.😀

He always had me rolling on the floor. He carried with him so many lines that were gems ... and not a curse word in sight. Today comedians think it's funny to swear. It's offensive.

Those were the days, no one got offended... IT WAS COMEDY. ❤️🇦🇺🥂

I Love This!!

When comedy, was comedy!

Awesome. Love and miss Dean Martin and his show. Watched it every time.

No one cracks up Dino more than Foster Brooks.

He's got Dean in tears...

Someone in your condition!

Brooks was a comic genius. Even Martin cannot keep a straight face, and Brooks NEVER breaks character. The airline pilot is a legendary performance of the highest caliber.

This is real comedy. Not like today’s rubbish. Most so called comedians have to use foul language to get laughs through the shock factor, or March up and down a stage ranting about something. Great to see Foster Brooks and Dean Martin having as much fun doing the sketch as the audience did watching it. 👍👍

This is "real" comedy. I almost get the impression that Dean hasn't read some punchlines of Foster Brooks, or otherwise kept from him, to generate a true laughter scenario out of Dean. That in of itself was hilarious.

God rest both of your wonderful, loving, talented, heartfelt souls. May your souls forever rest in eternal peace in God's eternal kingdom. All of us GREATLY and DEEPLY miss both of you so much. You will always be in everyone's hearts and prayers and always remembered and never forgotten. In closing, this writer would like to offer a poem in memory of your talented and class entertainment, and what you did for all of us: The sun goes down and leaves warmth upon the land. The tide recedes and leaves seashells in the sand. The music stops and echoes in sweet refrain... For all you`ve done and given to all of us, only beautiful, heartfelt and cherished memories will forever remain.

They don't make them like this anymore.

An incredible talent,

I laughed so hard the people in the apartment next door are pounding on the wall.

This is TRUE classic comedy!

This is the stuff I remember watching when I was growing up. Thanks for the memories.

Foster Brooks was a longtime AM radio deejay and didn't start out on his nightclub act until he was in his fifties! When the Luvable Lush comedy routine was fading out as times and attitudes about alcohol changed he made numerous appearances on a variety of TV shows. He always cracked Dean Martin up and he included Brooks at his many 'roasts' including Dean's own roast!
