A Master's class on acting intoxicated while you're stone cold sober...and also in how to deliver clean and meaningful humor that remains timeless even now.
Not one swear word at all not one, pure comedy gold It's the moment Foster pops up and Dean notices his teeth are missing and instantly breaks up to pieces with laughter it's just great. And the great thing is Dean bad no idea it was going to happen
Dean Martin could hardly keep a straight face every time I watch him with Foster . He was really great at doing this act . A true great . Thank you Mr Brooks
Needless to say Foster Brooks was a genius. An absolute one of a kind talent I had the privilege of seeing perform. Martin, Sinatra, Charlie Callas, Bob Hope, Johnathan Winters, Johnny Carson, George Gobel Etc..., Comedy is just not the same without them.
It is obvious by the expression on Deans face that he had no prior knowledge that Foster was going to perform the sketch without his dentures. Than made it that much funnier
Dean signed a massive contract that allowed him to not be required to go to rehearsals. He preferred to golf during the week and show up for filming. He would practice his lines at home and it allowed for all of these impromptu things to happen hilariously during taping
Compare to Tim Conway, who was a hoot, I don't think his sidekick Harvey Korman couldn't compose himself much longer if he was paired up with Foster Brooks
That's the First time I've seen Mr.Brooks get cracked up during a skit.Mr.Martin delivered a solid laugh line and I laughed even harder when Foster couldn't hold it.Loved the teamwork.
0:26 look how amazed Dean Martin is when he notice that foster Brooks skipped his dentures. And you clearly see him pointing at his teeth while looking at the director. But amazing Job to still go on acting.
I Love all Foster Brooks's work! Love it! .Both of them geniuses, and with help of Dean: "What seem's to be the trouble? .. < I'm pregnant!> " .. I was all over the floor laughing with tears! .. No way! .. And grand finale: "to a weenie roast!" .. Superb! ..Not in this days such comedians!
I love these two!!! And the Dean Martin roasts. Looks like they had so much fun back then Foster Brooks is hilarious. They are funny as hell!! Always makes me laugh I have a lot of the DVD's from the Dean Martin's roast never gets old makes me happy every time I watch. 💙💙
We will never see this kind of comedy again. Foster and Dean were so funny and no swearing needed. Foster was Dean's favorite guy on the roasts. Because he was the funniest of them all.
Most drunk acts play it as a sober man pretending to be drunk Richard. The best though, play it as a drunk pretending to be sober. Tha`s why Foster Brooks was so good at what he did.
He did struggle with alcoholism prior to. He then quit drinking and based his act on his struggle with alcoholism. But yes he never drank but could play a damn good drunk
Foster Brooks is a genius, identical clone of my binge-drunk grandpa! I feel like I'm seeing his ghost in every way, shape and mannerism. Brooks was such a legend, the fact that Dean Martin couldn't keep a straight face and kept busting up laughing somehow makes it all the funnier!
When times were fun, love these and the roasts they did. What made them so enjoyable was Dean genuinely laughing, which made them so real, rather than the fake canned laughter from shows now a days. RIP to these lost stars and others like Don Rickles, Nipsey and the fabulous Jonathon Winters.
Don't forget Tim Conway & Harvey Corman together... Especially the famous (ad-lib by Tim) "Dentist" skit with Harvey, where he (Harvey) actually "pi**ed" his pants from trying to hold in his laughter.... verified years later to be true, in an interview Carol Burnette. Absolutely Hilarious!!
If i had done this scene instead of Dean Martin and when Foster Brooks says "What seems to be the trouble"" I would've lost it...I would've just started laughing. The chemistry between these legends is untouchable in any era of this world. The chemistry between them is so strong that they could've been brothers in real life. This is real comedy...The comedy stand ups today is just a cry for help.....
I grew up watching Foster Brooks Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Another favorite of mine was Red Skelton and Don Rickles. I loved watching Dean Martin's Roast as well.
Ya just don't see 'em like this anymore. How beautiful they were in their prime, and afterword too. Laugh out loud type of humor - don't see that much anymore.
I probably only seen a fraction of the skits performed by Foster Brooks, but I believe this is the first time I've heard him speak with this particular comedy voice. So funny!
Henri Scamardo I agree everything back then was straight up comedy no Justin Bieber no Britney Spears or Lady Gaga spreading their legs open to get a lot of views and ratings just talented actors and comedians and they could tell a joke without you know lot of profanity and you still going to laugh anyway good quality clean fun for the whole family
Maybe that's their problem. Maybe it's a jealousy thing because they know they're not anywhere near as good as the old guys and instead of modeling after the old guys and becoming hilariously successful like Jim Carry did, they wanna use their talent (if they have any) to hurt people.
2 GREAT ENTERTAINERS...LOVE THIS...I LAUGHED OUT LOUD...THANKS DEAN AND FOSTER...THE DENTIST ONE ALSO HAD ME IN "STITCHES"...LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA...🐨🐨😀😘🐨🐨
And I think Foster KNEW he shocked Dean. It looks as though they had to edit the end of that intro, before they cut to a closeup of Foster asking "what seems to be the trouble"
I saw Foster Brooks for the first time in Las Vegas. He was the opening act to Robert Goulet. He was genuinely funny ... a wonderful entree to the main course.
