Dean refused to go to JFK's inauguration, because they wouldn't invite Sammy

I always heard Dean Martin was the king of cool. However, in these roasts, he is quite visibly drunk. But not a "cool drunk", an "unprofessional" sort of drunk.
No such thing when you're a famous man.

If you're easily offended, you won't want to search out the audio recordings of the actual Friar's Roasts from the 60's. They were awesomely mean-spirited and they fricking tore into each other.
Where can one find these if they aren't easily offended?

Man some of you guys are triggered.
Very few things are funnier than when someone goes out of their way to bash a thing that obviously got them riled up enough to bash in the first place and people defend it, then the retort becomes the defenders being "triggered."

I bet your alot of fun at parties. Quit being so offended. This is comedy gold. Everybody at the roast got picked on. The rat pack (Sammy, Frank, and Dean) got along just fine and were friends to their dying day, I dont see the big deal. 2020 critics need to shut their mouth about something they know nothing about. Comedy today is dead.

Then the roast. Wow. All the jokes are centered around Sammy being black. How original.
They go after race and ethnicity in the Comedy Central ones too.
When Jeff Ross roasted Emmitt Smith, the guests next to him were all black celebrities and Ross was like, I feel like I died and went to Harlem, this isn't a roast it's a barbacue. I haven't seen so many black people in one place since Don King and Mike Tyson were handing out free turkeys. It's really an honor to be here at the Wayans' Bros family picnic.
Then he called Shaq a gorilla, saying your knuckles look scraped did you walk here? And said Shaq spells his own name Shack.
And everyone laughed.
Then he said Shaq was great in The Green Mile...and that Shaq tried to peel the microphone because he thought it was a banana.
I bet the modern roasts are far more un-pc and risque than those old Dean Martin ones.

This might be the craziest thing that I've ever seen posted here. The Dean Martin Roasts are fantastic.

And you're a pussy of a man compared to 100 years ago standards. What's with everyone putting todays standards on stuff in the past?

Dean Martin Roast: Sammy Davis Jr. (YouTube)
The best part... he's roasted by those racists, Wilt Chamberlain, Nipsey Russell, Dianne Carroll, and Dione Warwick.

And everyone in the business will say the same.

In this thread: A bunch of old guys living in the past pissed off at me for crapping on their teenage icons.
Sorry grandpa. The shite just isn't funny. I'm out. Continue hollering at the clouds.

Lol. Then don't watch them, candy arse. You're just pissed off that your virtue signaling was called out for the humorless bullshite that it is.

He wasn't drunk. He was playing drunk. Like comedian Foster Brooks.

You are what’s wrong with America today. Watch all of the roasts, not just Sammy’s. They all make fun of each other’s ethnicity. Sinatra and Dean the wops. Red, Joey Bishop and Rickles the Jews. The females bc they are female. People had an actual sense of humor about those things , they weren’t taken personal. We should be more like thy today instead of getting insulted by every little thing.

What a bitch you are. Shite is funny as hell, and you are upset because your edgy BS was proven wrong.
Grow a pair of balls before you try to express your “feelings”, again.

Comedy has moved beyond that era. It didn't age well. That's all I'm saying.
You clearly don't watch those Comedy Central Roasts.
As I and others have stated, race is still a big part of the act. And people were laughing their asses off.
Maybe an SNL crowd would be too political correct to chuckle but not the drunk roast crowds.
