Don Rickles #botd pays tribute (lol) to Martin Scorsese. I love how it's a merciless ROAST ("none of 'em were great. None of 'em") but he ends in an expansive way, the patriarch who knows what his job is when making the speech at the family party. It's overwhelming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RONk... - ThreadSky

He had such a talent for roasting where you never felt it was overly mean.

God help you if he was nice to you. That meant he found you boring! My family roasts each other as a sign of affection. I told my first bf before he first met my dad - "if he teases you that means he likes you." so my bf went out of his way to MAKE my dad tease him, just to get it out of the way lol

Bob Newhart would tell a story of going to dinner with the Rickles and Bob’s wife, who had never seen Dons act. “Well Bob, now you’re making things up, he was such a nice man at dinner.” The show starts and Don is absolutely merciless toward her in his roast. And that’s how he showed love.

If you haven't seen it, the Apatow documentary on Don and Bob's relationship is excellent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3cs7PyXPsU

the second I saw your name I was like OH! HELLO! It's taken me a while to find people here so it's very good to see you.

roanna.bsky.social•24 days ago

So good to see you!

And it takes just the right repost at just the right time and a whole lot of luck.
