red buttons was briljant, great sharp humor combined with a great timing, mimic. The way he works with the audience, waiting for a reaction, allowing them the time to think about the joke, he was probably one of the best, i can watch these old video recordings over and over again and he still puts a smile on my face, we miss him!

His comedy was universal and was absolutely brilliant, no matter the ethnicity of the audience, he cracked everyone up!! I miss him much. One of a kind!

Thank you, Ira Goldberg for these marvelous videos! Red Buttons was a genius, this performance even more impressive considering we were still fresh off 9/11. He actually made something "bawdy" classy without using any vulgar language.

completely hysterical. Red was such a brilliant comedic mind with PERFECT timing.

Thank you for posting! Now this is comedy! I laughed out loud until I cried🤣

Impeccable timing and delivery. The magic is in analogies everyone understood. Hollywood never knew what to do with Red Buttons although he won an Oscar. There's brilliance here.

I LOVED THIS! One of a long list of comedians who made laugh stomach-hurting hard, and thanks to video, he still does! He had a PhD in comedy timing!!

Wow!! Love this guy!! He’s flawless.

Slays the crowd in the first 4 words.

A Champ among Champs... A Legend among Legends.. The One .. the Only .. Red Buttons!

Red Buttons was always one of my favorites because he was real even way back during the Dean Martin celebrity roast.

Red Buttons was BRILLIANT in his comedic routines…still watch those roasts..have always wondered what the backstory is re that dance n move he would do with Dean..help this Jamsican get the 411 on that story…tonx…loved him n Foster Brooks

Milton Berle, Red Buttons, Jack Benny, Don Rickles, George Burns, Henny Youngerman, Groucho Marx, the great Jewish-American comedians. RIP all of you.

Those were the masters of real comedy! No one today could EVER pull off this humor! The only “comedic” sentences they know are filled with swearing! That’s not comedy, ANYONE can do THAT! Those days the timing was always perfect, the writers could right ! Too bad we can’t enjoy that humor anymore

Hysterical! The best.

This was real comedy. Not the crap that exists now.

When he said the most often asked question was if Milton had a big “thing”, he should’ve said “it was so big, it got its OWN dinner” 🤣🤣

I miss my grandpa.

Hi he made me laugh with tears 😂 God bless him

Holy Shit!!!! This is gold
