His roasts were legendary and prolly couldn’t be done today.
I read once that police came to Dean Martin’s house in which a party was ongoing and Frank Sinatra opened the door. The police said a neighbor complained about noise. Sinatra asked how that would be possible since all the neighbors were at the house party. After some dialog, Sinatra asked for a moment, went to Martin’s bedroom and awoke him. Sinatra stated to Martin “That was you who called the police, wasn’t it?” To which Martin replied and smiled “I have an early tee time and a (drinking) reputation to protect.” (indirect quotes) Martin called the police on his own house party. :-)
Don Rickles alone would cause BLM riots.
We like you people, just not in our neighborhoods.
Paraphrase: I feel sorry for people that that don’t drink, knowing that in the morning that will be the best they feel all day.
Don Rickles was insanely good at delivering roasts. That was his whole schtick.
His roasts have aired on the “Decades” channel as the Weekend Binge a few times.
Each episode had a disclaimer about how these roasts were taped in a different time, might offend some viewers, etc.
