Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts

Thinking of my Dad today and the comment by Dr. Goat and others about how celebrity roasts today are all so dirty and stupid. Personally I agree. I never work BLUE (I don't have to) to get attention. I may post cosplayers and pretty girls but I don't show them squatting over some dirty sailor. There are limits. Good taste and funny can go together when you are REALLY funny and you have great material.

As a kid, Dean Martin Roasts were a big treat. There was nothing like them on TV at the time. Mostly they roasted famous celebrities and the class of the program meant they could attract guys like a Frank Sinatra. My Dad loved the comedy and even if he had to explain why the jokes were funny, he would, just for our enjoyment.

Of all the people they would get for these Dean Martin roasts, Red Buttons (an Oscar winner believe it or don't) was the funniest. I got the jokes. But watch his delivery. He is as much fun to watch as to listen to.

The old school guys like Don Rickles may have gently pushed the envelope without being profane. Just yesterday I laughed my ass off at Everybody Loves Raymond. It was terrific.
