Rest in Peace Don Rickles

that is so sad, a true talent. I guess I should say something like "rest in peace you hockey puck!"
 
RIP. One of the last of the "politically incorrect" comedians, no apologies, but off camera one of the most giving and nice people. One of the last ties to the "Rat Pack" days as well. He will be missed. One of my favorite roles was when he was in Kelly's Heroes, "CrapGame" and the Dean Martin Roasts.

As a kid I remember watching him on Johnny Carson and I thought he was hilarious. We will never see someone like him today. The world is too politically correct and people are too easily offended.
 
A true classic. The Dean Martin Roasts, whenever they listed either Don or Foster Brooks as the upcoming "roasters", Dad would sit up and say, "This'll be a good one!"
If you get a chance check the documentary done a few years ago (the title escapes me) by Rickles' son.
Or just spend a couple hours down the YouTube rabbit hole...
RIP Mr. Warmth, and thanks for all the laughs!
 
Anyone truly one of the greats. Hey maybe the last one from that era. So unbelievably funny. Even in his serious roles like Casino, he was hilarious.
 
I enjoyed his Carson appearances immensely. In case you scrolled past this above, here it is again. Don't pass this up:

RIP. To a generation of kids 20 and under, he will forever be remembered as Mr Potato Head from Toy Story. I think he died happy about that.
