I think everybody who goes to one of his shows knows what to expect. 1 Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~
OftenWrong Posted April 7, 2017 Report 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

Argus Posted April 7, 2017 Report 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.

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 The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so. - Ronald Reagan I have said that the Western world is just as violent as the Islamic world - Dialamah Europe seems to excel at fooling people to immigrate there from the ME only to chew them up and spit them back. - Eyeball Unfortunately our policies have contributed to retarding and limiting their (Muslim's) society's natural progression towards the same enlightened state we take for granted. - Eyeball

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 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
