One of the things I love the most when watching these compilations of Red Buttons dinner jokes and his Frier Club appearances... is watching the other guests completely lose it ......
I absolutely LOVE how Ernest Borgnine, just completely 'loses it', when Buttons mentions Sophia Loren's new baby Now I loves me some Red Buttons! And I never got a dinner, either!
Mary Todd Lincoln who said to her husband Abe; “Ever since you became President you’re so busy you never take me anywhere, and we never do anything together just the two of us. Would it kill you to take me to the Theater just once?”
Red Buttons was more than a comedian. He was a great actor as well. He won an Oscar for best supporting actor for Sayonara in the 1950s. He was a suburb talent. Once of his best one liners was at the roast for Frank Sinatra when he said " that most of the singers on the dias are Italians and most of comedians are Jewish. There is really no difference between Italians and Jews, perhaps one year of high school."
Red Buttons was a great comedian, if not the greatest of all time along with Roger Dangerfield, a shame both have now left us. Thank you for making me laugh
Some of those stars were lucky to have been roasted by the Red Buttons with the *Never Got A Dinner* routine but I’ve been married 25 years and I’ve never got breakfast much less a dinner ! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I was born in '71 and reruns of this stuff was on when I was a kid and damn these old time guys were HILARIOUS. This caliber of professionalism and craft is just gone forever.
I'm 45 and sooooooo happy that youtube has allowed me to see the fun and smarts of the 70's thru Red button's , Dean Martin and Don Rickles PHENOMENAL talents. Very smart , very funny and not an ounce of mean . I invite you to follow all their skits. I wish i was an adult in those years of real talent and true spirit. Its all gone to shit since the 90's....
I'm really, REALLY offended at these insensitive remarks...just kidding, no I'm not. I wasn't offended in the 1970s when I first saw this, and nobody else back then was either.
If you watch all of these Dean Martin Roasts you will discover that not one time did anyone slap anyone else. I wonder why that is? Could it be that they all realize that it is just jokes? Maybe that coward punk Will Smith could learn a lesson from watching these Roasts.
@5:45 Floyd Patterson loses it because he repeatedly heard throughout his boxing career about him being a credit to his race, could easily relate to that. Floyd being a credit to his race. Along with Joe Louis, compared to Sonny Liston.
I haven't laughed that much since I don't know when. In this crazy woke world, they would probably want to censure it. Anyway, just wonderful ! The good old days. Bravo to Red Buttons.
@@Tee1312Jay Or maybe they didn't have the voice to speak up. Look, I found it funny too. But don't presume to speak on other people's behalf when they may not have been free to share how they really felt. Your perspective of things may not be shared by other people. Just saying.
