Don Rickles would never make it today. He would never be allowed to. He mocked racism, sexism, and bigotry. And he was funny. Humor, another casualty of the totalitarian left.
Hysterical.

The end of an era indeed. Rickles has left me in stiches so many times. He was a king of comedy. He was to stand up comedy what Frank was to pop music – an absolute legend.

So sad. Mr. Rickles passing just may be the official end of free speech in America….
RIP Free Speech 1776 – 2017.

Time for someone to pick up where he left off.

Much as I am honoured, it will take a very skilled philosopher to replace him.

She’s an apt protege for certain, but going in front of an audience might be a bridge too far.

I always loved Rickles’ irreverent humor. I hate this PC world we live in today.

Oh, God rest his dear soul. Rickles was the embodiment of being a New Yorker.
I grew up there and we all made the MOST (by today’s standards) ‘hateful’ jokes. But they weren’t; because we all came in for a ribbing. In NYC you’re cheek-by-jowl, 24/7, with tons of people of every ethnicity: Blacks, Jews, Italians, Poles (only we said ‘Polacks’, and nobody laughed harder than the Polish people) Hispanic, Japanese, you name it. And the unbelievable humor which grew out of that!
It defused the tensions you see. I’m of Italian extraction. And every [hilarious] anti-Italian joke came my way: Your family’s in the Mafia! Your men are short and ugly! All you can cook is spaghetti! And they’d get it right back: ‘Why do Blacks not marry the Spics? They’re afraid their kids will grow up too lazy to steal!’. Only the Blacks would tell you that joke, OK? Or the Hispanics. And everybody cracked up!
Don Rickles turned it into an art form. He will be greatly missed; but I’m sure Heaven is a MUCH funnier place tonight, now that this dear man is there. Thank you Mr. Rickles-God gave you a great gift, and I’m so grateful you shared it with us for so many years.

I can’t think of very many left from that era of Entertainers from the 60’s & 70’s. Oh the good memories of those long ago years! Don Rickles was acerbic, funny, witty, embarrassing, sometimes annoying, but always humorous!
