Pat Riot Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 When I was a kid I remember everybody loved to hate Don Rickles. I thought he was hilarious. One of my favorite movie lines of his: Another: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I miss his humor, but today pretty much all of it would offend someone instead of taking it as joke as was meant. RIP Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Howdy, I had to check, Wagon Train and Wild Wild West were his western TV shows. Much later added his touch to The Unit. For a while I didn't get his humor, then I couldn't get enough of it. RIP. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Mosby Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I loved Don Rickles. His Twilight Zone episode with Burgess Meredith was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 He made a lot of people laugh. On purpose. That's a pretty good epitaph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 They just don't make em like they used to. Dad loved him, I remember all of us kids being gathered in the tv room to watch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 It took me a while to appreciate his style of humor, but eventually I got it. Thank you. Mr. Rickles, for many entertaining hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 My all-time favorite line of his, and an absolutely brilliant, off-the-cuff ad lib was during a live stand-up routine. Time was during height of Vietnam conflict, and during Christmas holiday season. Bob Hope walked in the back of the audience, trying to be unobtrusive. But Don spotted him and hollered at him loudly, "Hey, what's goin' on? Is the war over?" Eyesa Horg is correct, and we are fortunate to have lived in a time when we could enjoy and appreciate his talents without a bunch of idiots protesting and whining about it.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 He was a 'Hockey Puck'..... I say that respectfully because it was one of his phrases that made me laugh. I actually remember him most from an Andy Griffith episode where he was Newton 'Newt' Munroe. He had a line that was so funny in the scene where he said something like..... "I'm not inept, I'm ept". RIP Don and thanks for the laughs, especially where we could laugh at our own self. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 During his Slate Brothers engagement, Carl Reiner recalled in “Mr. Warmth,” the biggest names in show business felt that “if they hadn’t been insulted by Rickles, they weren’t with it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Quote No critic, however thoughtful, could quite explain Mr. Rickles’s durability in show business, given that until the end of his career he was peppering his act with slurs and stereotypes long out of favor. And yet he not only got away with it, but he also flourished. Our kind of guy, never PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
