HAHA, Foster is a crack up! Do you or does anyone have the one where Foster is on crutches walking up to the podium and falls?

My nephew had a old tape of Mr.Brooks on a bar chair. Resiting the song: Partrige in a peartree! Funny sh**

OK, I'm looking for Foster Brooks with Bill Cosby. My Father sent me to my room until I calmed down. You get a flat stomach when you plead to breathe, but not until you stop jumping up and down and beating whoever happens to be near by. There is a muscle behind your ears & goes to the back of your head that gets sore and your upper eyelids turn inside out.Get the yellow caution tape.

i couldnt agree more...laughs are cheap these days and the talent pool has been watered down...these older comics had to work harder because the cheap dirty joke wasnt acceptable as it is today...comedy has been dumbed down and we are lesser for it.

What a lineup of past superstars.

This really takes me back!

How many other comedians do you know who can have a crowd cracking up before they even say a word? And Rickles is doubled over even before Brooks starts talking.

Wow. Foster Brooks was such a Genius, God Bless him. The remarkable thing is that by the time he started doing these roasts, he had been sober for nearly 10 yrs or more. He was the greatest "drunk" impression as Rich Little was (and still is) the greatest over all impresssionist. Can't you see the difference between these artists and the ones out there now? Frank Caliendo is servicable. But even he would admit he couldn't hold a torch to these guys. They were and always will be the original...

God! These clips of Foster Brooks are hysterical. He just puts me away.
