OftenWrong Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hilarious. It should be noted that poor Don did not die of old age, he died of congestive outrage failure. His death marks the end of an era. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Anyone see Jimmy Kimmel last night? He was having a hard time keeping the tears back during a long tribute to Rickels. Apparently they were the best of pals and had been for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 At times he was funny but in today society he would be insulting and kind of a bully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tells us more about society these days than about Rickles. Watching that clip makes me remember back to when people were allowed to laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also a Navy vet (Pacific) aboard the USS Cyrene which was the flagship for all PT Boat action in the 7th Fleet...Run Silent Run Deep (clip above) was typical of Rickles's serious side.

August1991 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 As a foreigner, I never found Don Rickles funny. His reputation is likely due to the often mistaken American MSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
