Don Rickles and Jerry Lewis (2003) - MDA Telethon 

Oh please don’t even compare those two you look stupid. You can find a duck, step on it and record that and get the same thing jerry Luis did his whole career

Now they swim with the fishes…

You forgot about big Ed #heyoooooo

I dunno...Bill Burr, Theo Von , Chapelle are funny...rip , both recent enough lost are Mitch Hedberg & Norm Macdonald.... there's funny comedians today, it's just a very different culture now than when these legends were outlandish & on the game....

Rickles was funny...Lewis was just silly

Don had some huge guts bringing up jerry's 5 biological children that he completely abandoned... nobody else in jerry's entire lifetime had the guts to.

@@slickbelge what???? You know I hate to speak I'll of the dead but I saw Jerry on the story of the rat pack and he seemed to have a chip on his shoulder, that's dogged to just abandon ALL your kids.

What was his condition?

Christina Mitchell I agree ☝️ with u

@S.T. pulmonary fibrosis. He gained a bunch of weight from the medical treatment which was prednisone.

yea thanx pals

@Larry Barry ???

All fake my friend! All acting, years of practice! People easily subbed!

@@dannydoughboy120 He never cried in his movies

@@thomasputti2249 sociopaths don't cry! They know how to act to get what they want, and that's what makes them dangerous! In other words, they totally lack empathy.

@@dannydoughboy120 Sorry, but could you explain to me why do you think so little of him as a person?

@@julesf.meloborges811 NO! Do your own research and figure it out for yourself! Are you helpless! Do your own homework!

Wow way to show you couldn’t know less about Jerry Luis. “Taking jabs and then making it clear it was all in good fun” is the exact opposite of Jerry Luis. Ruined every relationship he was in, and then held onto every grudge until the person died then he turns around and pretends they were great friends. Oh and not to mention he’s a literal rapist and continued trying to harass women and treat his children and wife like garbage until the end lmao Don rickles has gotten shit since he started in the fucking 50s, if you knew anything about him you’d hear him tell those stories countless times about how nobody liked it at first. He didn’t say nobody was offended he’s literally always said he isn’t for everybody, he didn’t even like Jerry Luis that’s why he fucking never saw him but leave it to these fake rickles fans to use him in death to push their agendas about comedy. If you’re too ignorant and lazy to actually know who the COUNTLESS hilarious game changing comedians of today are that’s your fault not theirs. Rickles understood. DANGERFIELD understood, that’s why he did nothing but start and help young comics, and hung out with them in his personal life instead of older comics. Y’all do the same thing with him you say how much funnier his generation is when literally he didn’t even think that that’s why he didn’t hang out with people from his generation, that’s why he had to change his name TWICE before getting any success

Also stop being such a baby. Yeah Don rickles made a few bad jokes in his career every comedian has. That doesn’t mean every time someone makes a joke that people don’t like or isn’t funny that they’re “offended”. I can point out that dons jokes about race are super surface level, that isn’t because I’m offended it’s because they’re always about a black stereotype. Which he does because he’s basically a parody of an ignorant insult comic, but people like you take what he ironically says as some beacon for free speech or comedy when people say way worse shit then him and have since he started. I love rickles but I can point out that his race jokes are lazy without calling him racist, or saying he shouldn’t be allowed to say it or some shit nobody said that, y’all assume that anytime there’s a joke that’s “offensive” that people don’t find funny.

True left nothing and his grandkids too

His schtick was insulting people. But he was a very sensitive man. And never meant any harm.

@Shahrokh Teimouri Keep trying troll.

@Ologh Beig offended? 😂😂

Ologh Beig get it together lol

I found it offensive for many years. I hated myself for laughing at this cheap humor. Like Lenny Bruce tho, this type of language wasn't taboo & maaaaaybe better to bring it out in the open.

Sadly both gone now.

He developed several mental and physical health problems throughout his lifetime, it was also a big effect on his decision to not be around his kids

Yep, that was defintely not the standard Don TV show routine. You could feel the Telethon thing changed the mood of the whole piece.

People pretend all these guys are “class acts” they aren’t. Rickles was, Sammy was, maybe Dean was idk but I know Jerry wasn’t

@@byHexted Jerry was a selfish dick..He did this because they paid him well not because he cared...You don't have so much compassion for the disabled and than hate your not disabled fellow men so much!

@@byHexted Maybe you're right! But his telethon raised 2.5 billion dollars! Maybe concentrate on that fact and let the guy rest in peace! No?

Cocaine abuse, perhaps…

It sounds funnier written. 🤣

The Lord has nothing to do with these two godless men. Praise God for who God is.

True and none to his grandkids too

They do make sense, Don was sent to the pacific in WW2

Ray Allard ... So true today is labor day 2018, i just had to get my dosage of telethon for this year. Thanks goodness for RU-vid.

RU-vid video are the best to remember those real anchors on television.

“Those days” this was 2003 😂

donnibrasko1 this was the funniest roast ever.

His best. I laughed so freaking much.

He was supremely comical whenever he performed. I honestly have NEVER seen him not be hilarious. The guy was a genius.

Naw,it was in Kelly's Heros

I've seen them all !! I think u r right. I sent it to all my friends.

I didn't, I always thought Jerry was an unfunny clown.

Young people don’t realize just how huge a star Jerry was in the late ‘40s and early ‘50s. I can’t think of any other act bigger than Martin and Lewis in the 20th century. For 10 straight years they were the hottest thing in showbiz.

She gave that PC look of disdain.

her political correctness kicks in.

She doesnt know any better. Shes pathetic and a loser in life.

That was Hillary Clinton.

Drew 2U

That girl had a chip on her shoulder...would anyone expect different?

The MDA did him wrong, not giving him a final show.

@@4seeableTV he was a piece of crap to his children. But ironically cared for other kids ??? Give me a break.

@@2402zia yeah I'm like what the hell???? Even though don was being funny I'm glad he mentions his abandoned kids. To be honest past interviews I've seen he comes off not so nice.

@@christinamitchell6796 Yea, there was some kind of estrangement with Jerry and his boys. I think Jerry was a tough Dad that expected his sons to go out and make it on their own. And maybe the sons sided with their Mother after the divorce?

@@123Rockchild only thing is he gives it all to his daughter whom I believe was adopted but maybe that's the operative word.

@@tatumhildebrand5397 not really

Larry Barry no bro both passed away last year

wongleebruce He is known for busting balls and this was gold.

Ricky Gervais

mrmanown...I'm surprised the guy could still hold up the camera and not drop it from laughing.

I've found that very amusing. 3 years I look for his uncle in the jungle, never found him, LOL.

Rickles couldn't top you.

I agree 10000 be suffice

Really. He did make it to 91. Apparently hated all his kids. That's the reference Don made about his sons waiting for money.

...you wind up an announcer for the heavy jew sittin over here..... Dyin.

He had a special touch...only guy who could get away with making jokes about Sinatra's connection to the mob or his marriage to Mia Farrow.

Both passed away the same year... 😔

@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 Yes I know and they were both old already. They were both born 1926. Jerry was 91 and Rickles 90. It's a long life that most poeple don't reach.

I think Ruth Buzzy is the only 1 left that was on the Dean Martin roasts .
