Red Buttons is the funniest comedian who lived up until the day he retired. Then it was up to the new kids but no one will ever be so consistently laugh-out-loud funny. I love Dean Martin more because he loved Red Buttons and Foster Brooks. They both could make him laugh hard and that adds to the enjoyment of hearing them perform. I can't wait until the Kingdom of Elohim to see what Red and his favorites are gonna do when they do open for Y'shuwah HaMashiyach at a one-night-only comedy blowout!.

Many of us are fortunate to have lived through an age that gave us the greatest comedians in American hisitory. I watched Red Buttons on this video and laughed until tears ran down my eyes. Adam Buttons, how lucky you are to have had Red Buttons as your father.

His sense of comedic timing is spot on.

Red Buttons was hysterically funny. Whenever I heard he was on television, I made it a point to watch. Loved Red. Rest In Peace!

Such a shame that all ((or most) of these great people are gone . They were great !

I cannot believe that Red Buttons was 84 years old when he delivered this masterpiece. Truly inspirational. I wish our elderly politicians had this commanding presence when they spoke. I would feel more confident in our government. I also always think of my beloved dad who passed 4 years ago. Dad loved Red Buttons, Sid Ceasar and so many others of this generation. I have watched this clip maybe 10x. It brings me comfort and always makes me laugh. ❤

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERATED COMEDIANS OF OUR TIME. HE WAS ALWAYS ORIGINAL AND HILARIOUS. ALWAYS! ONE OF THE BEST AND ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

Actually…I believe i was there that night as well, with my whole family. I recognize his act but i could’ve seen it at someone else’s gala 🎉 But I swear that I can hear my uncle Howard’s laugh, as the loudest laugh! 🤷‍♀️

Seen this routine dozens of times and I STILL laugh out loud every time.

I never laughed so hard...pure genius...I have watched this probably 2 dozen times at least..i have it saved..when I need a laugh I watch it..the build up of first giggles, they gawffs, then laughing out loud & then the whole room seems to vibrate with laughter, humming away...it should go down as one of the greatest "bits" ever performed..it is just that good..!!

so funny , why cant these people live forever

Loved Red Buttons!!! Those old timers had perfect timing! Humor without vulgarity!! I miss those comedic legends!

One of the greatest comics of all time.

Being funny keeps people young - having a great sense of humor is the best medicine. But one thing tips even these benefits: you make other people laugh. Stand-up comics are my heroes. It’s actually, in my opinion, a higher calling - a spiritual person one. I never tire of tuning in to these sessions. And now all my friends are hooked, too. We’re all Red Buttons fans. I saw that red’s butler posted about his dad! Thank you. Sweetie, for these super-boosters. You can’t be unhappy after listening to Red 17:48 Buttons, alavashulem. ❤ 17:48

His "Never Got A Dinner" routine he did on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts were one of the top highlights!

Red was one of the best! Great to watch these clips, including the Dean Martin Roasts. Comedy today has fallen down the stairs and I am still waiting for it to get up.

So happy I could hear this...Red Buttons brings back beautiful memories of me holding my sides, laughing so hard. He was the funniest of them all. You were truly blessed.

Adam , you have every right to be proud. RIP Red Buttons, one of the greatest.

An Academy Award winner. More that just a comedian.

Beloved Red Buttons..no one could make us laugh so hard like him. A genius!

Loved Red Buttons. Always made me laugh. I miss him.

Love this guy!! He always cracked me up! :) Truly underrated!

Loved this! I remember seeing Red Buttons on The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts! Funny man! :)

An absolute comic master!!!!!

I'd like to imagine Red single handedly created every word of this entire monologue... I betcha he did.

Wonderful ! To be there live must have been sensational ! What a Great comedian. In time of crazy things happening in the world, I was crying so much I laughed.

Old Sid just passed away at 92. I once saw him jogging in Holmby Hills at 7am about 25 years ago

Great comedian & a American Master-thanks for the laughter and smiles-May you soul be in light and joy in Nirvana

Best laughs I’ve had in weeks. Thank You !

Pure genius in terms of material and delivery.

I wonder if he ever got a dinner after such a masterful delivery?

As a kid I only remember him from shows like The Love Boat, I never realised that he was one of the best stand up comedians of his era. Awesome.

Red is a legend, he is incredible

I love this! So much! these are the greats celebrating the hilarious funny natural talents.... Can enjoy themselves

Made my day.

One of the greatest comedian ever.

I was laughing so hard tears are running down my face. Thank you for posting this. His character in the The Longest Day was one of my favorite in that movie. I've seen him many times on the "more clean" Dean Martin roasts, but to see him at the real friars club in this video was amazing.

love Sid!!!

Red was the king of silliness. Great video, thank you!

ALWAYS FUNNY! HIS DELIVERY IS WHAT DOES IT! SO VERY GIFTED!

Truly one of the greats!!!

wow...what a great roast speech

Never got a dinner

I've known OF him for years from films esp The Longest Day, but literally on the last week i am binging on him. I was there but didnt get a dinner.

This was a truly funny man, one of the most underrated comedians of his time. I had only known him from his lame performances in "The Longest Day" and "Hatari." Then I found these wonderful appearances of his on KZread. I've seen them many times and I still laugh out loud. God bless him for giving us so much laughter.

This has been here for years and I'm just now finding it?? I'm so thankful! I had no idea what a genius Red Buttons was--no idea! That Bing Crosby bit?? I downright laughed out loud 'cause his delivery was so believable. The whole thing was artistry--and I never knew! I've been robbed! I used to shrug, meh, over Red Buttons--and now I know I missed a matter all along.

Like a time machine , have only seen him in the Dean martin Roast, damn his old. Prob dead now.

I was listening to him and he said " I was salting and I was sucking " and I had been drinking Ginger Ale and literally did a spit take & had to keep from choking & was snickering for 5 minutes. It helps with the Orthodox Jewish Vampire joke if you're Jewish. Funny stuff. I once played a vampire role playing game and the game master asked me who my character was & I said I had been sent by the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem to investigate the strange deaths of the people in the area. She went along with it and everyone who was playing a vampire in the game was completely unable to do anything to the Rabbi. They were terrified of me & did not know how to react because none of the players were Jewish. I was one of the few non vampires that night NOT to get bitten and walked out of the vampire meeting area unscathed.

Tour de force Red!

The delivery, timing and content of these late, great comedians was the absolute best. A bygone era when free speech was still upheld and the PC police and professional victims were non-existent.

Why are we letting this man make a speech, when so many great men never got to make speech?

What a class act!

He's got his dinner with the Lord.

That boy deserves a dinner!

I laughed harder and longer with Buttons than anything with Seinfeld.

Funny man!

Now, that man was a PROFESSIONAL COMEDIAN. Today we have Leslie Jones and Amy Schumer, who aren't qualified to shine this man's shoes.

always loved red

May have to borrow that horse joke!😂

Just hilarious

RED👍

Red was 83 and still hillarious

You are looking at the real humorist. Doesn't hit you over the head with it doesn't have to go overboard being filthy or violent or nasty. More subtle is his style that allows the audience to reach for the funny. After a while his delivery itself is hilarious. Listen to the howls of laghter before even speaking. Always wondering what twist the story takes. The annual Quazimoto rub-a-hump for luck day! !!
