Lord have mercy. EVERYONE with at least two brain cells knows Don Rickles is the King of insults and that their outrageousness is part of his act, which he's been doing for over FIFTY years. In real life he's supposed to be the complete opposite; a kind and genial man. Honestly, the lengths some will go to get a bug up their a**...

That's why I liked his show so much as a black guy because I never seen a white man imitate black people before and it was very funny.

He starred on The Don Rickles Show in the early 1970's. He starred on Daddy Dearest in the 90's.

Sorry ya'll but I'm not that amused. Maybe it was a little funny but I'd be lying if I said it was hilarious. I don't wanna say I liked it so I could be on everybody else's side. The joke sounds funny but its leaving a bad taste with me.

I;m familiar with Rickles style of comedy so I didn't see a problem with it.
