[Brazelton] RIP Don fucking Rickles, that hockey puck

[Dave]

Dude, this is one of my comedy heroes. I know we're losing these more and more, but geez I loved this guy.

 

[sixpackshaker]

RIP CPO Sharkey.

 

[Ravenpoe]

A legend passes into myth.

 

[Tiger Tsang]

He had one helluva run.

 

[Celt Z]

I had a feeling this was coming soon. I was so glad he had made as many apperances as Mr. Potato Head as he did. (And yes, I of knew him and his comedy long before Toy Story.)

My mom was pregnant with me when she went to a Tonight Show and Don Rickles was a guest with Johnny Carson. I've been a fan since I was in utero.

RIP Mr. Warmth.

I liked his work, but I thought he was already dead, TBH.

I liked his work, but I thought he was already dead, TBH.

That's what Kati said. "The news today is full of things I thought had already happened. Don Rickles dying, Barry Manilow coming out..."

I liked Casino, but I wish he had a bigger role - missed opportunity.

Here's a great clip of him roasting Scorcese and then getting super sweet:

Great clip. Very sweet.

Don was on the Tonight Show one night when Johnny was absent. Don did a bit where he was stamping passports and he used Johnny's cigarette box as the stamper. It broke. Johnny found out the next night and this is what happened.

I lost it at "They know who I am!"
