Don Rickles Being Don Rickles

In case you were wondering if Don Rickles is still that old white coot who sits on a plastic tube lawn chair under his carport and tells racist jokes, he is! 86-year-old Don Rickles has been launching politically incorrect dingles off his tongue for centuries and he did it again at AFI's tribute to Shirley MacLaine last night. The Hollywood Reporter says that some audience members clutched their pearls after Mr. Potato Head (I'm not just saying that, because that's the voice did in that Toy Story shit. He kind of does look like an old potato with extra eyes) said some racist shit about President Obama:

“I shouldn’t make fun of the blacks,” Rickles said, and then proceeded to do just that: “President Obama is a personal friend of mine. He was over to the house yesterday, but the mop broke.”
The black-tie crowd, gathered to celebrate MacLaine, the 40th recipient of the AFI’s Life Achievement Award, alternately gasped at the 86-year-old comic’s put-downs and then found themselves laughing and applauding.

But what I want to know is, what the fuck kind of mop does Don Rickles have? How does a mop break? Bitch needs to get himself a Swiffer WetJet or something. The thing is, Don Rickles is still trapped inside of a bubble where it's always 1950 and most of the world has changed. That's exactly what the kids will be saying about me in 60 years when I'm sitting on a plastic tube lawn chair under my carport and talking about extra chunky dick cheese and the simple elegance of lucite heels.

Oh, for the love of Gawd, I want to kick the first "politically correct" fuck in the taint!!!

Don Rickles has ALWAYS used his black humor to EXPOSE ridiculous stereotypes. He is the last thing from a racist. The whole point of his bit is how we pigeon hole and limit all races. You may not appreciate his style, but, please understand the man is trying to bring awareness.

*chanting as always*

Shut the fuck up kid, you're in my closet now.

Considering he was invited to speak at a Shirley MacLaine tribute by good friend Shirley MacLaine, who isn't exactly Miss Manners herself, I think not.

God, that. While I'm not liberal I can't with that crap. Like President Obama just single handedly turned the country socialist. Shit's been going on in this country for years and nobody said anything till now. Suddenly Obama's the cause for the American decline. America was on the decline since before Obama and mot of us were born.

I hear worse than that every night on Call of Duty Multiplayer.

I'm pretty sure that the folks that run around in the lobbies saying, "nigger nigger nigger nigger" would also say they're not racist.

It was a tacky joke, but he's a tacky man, always has been, it's not surprising, and I doubt he'll give a flying fuck to make some apology.

He and Joan Rivers should tongue kiss each other to death they are so nasty they belong together! Oh and they should try to sell their illigitmate daughter Kathy Griffin to the highest middle eastern bidder.

Hey, Louise, what the fuck are they doing on 75th Street??? For all the work they're doing, they ought to put a fucking water slide in, don't ya think??? That's my main drag and it's taking me forever to get to that corner. Do you know what the main plan is over there?

I for one don't think he's a real racist. His humor is based on old stereotypes that no longer exist. I guess somebody had to.

swarm-of-locusts's picture

This kind of stuff has always been his act so I don't know why anyone clutched their pearls over him being raw. Bottom-line, obviously someone in charge wanted to hear it or he would never have been invited to speak.

I never thought he was funny, just obnoxious.

At least he's honest and doesn't hide his racism behind the term socialism.

racist jokes aside, can we get to the real story here? For instance, what in the hell is going on with his ONE chola eyebrow game?

He can make fun of black folks all he wants but while he thinks we're laughing at his trite comedy routine, we'll really be calling him by his chola name, La Ceja Sola

If Don Rickles was Richard Pryor, people would be saying he was side-splittingly hilarious.

Not necessarily, but if he were Paul Mooney, then I'd agree. The difference is that Paul Mooney says racist stuff that is funny because it's based in truth. And very biting.

If this were 1965 and he said Sammy Davis, Jr. it MIGHT have been funny since most blacks were only allowed to do domestic work back then. The joke, and Don Rickles are not relevant in 2012.

If Don Rickles was Richard Pryor, people would be saying he was side-splittingly hilarious.

"“Shirley,” Rickles, living up to his moniker as Mr. Warmth, began as he rose to his feet from a table near the center of the room. “I never read your books, and I don’t plan to.”
Turning to MacLaine’s brother Beatty, he continued, “I know your brother very well, and I never liked him.”"

This is why "Blazing Saddles", probably the most biting movie EVER made against racism and that was co-written by two black men (Cleavon Little and Richard Pryor) could never be made today. Because politically correct liberals are idiots.

Unreal.

Not so unreal: He's old enough to fart dust.

Don Rickles was over to the house yesterday, wondering why no one still asks him to perform.

I shouldn't make fun of ugly old fucks, but he's so ugly that when he sits in his great-great-great grandson's sandbox, the cats try to bury him.

He's so ugly that when he goes out in public, people scream "Terrorist attack!"

He's so ugly that when he was born, back in the Dark Ages, the midwife took one look at him and slapped his mother.

Agreed, it's simply not funny. But like everyone else said, I've never found Don Rickles funny. I guess crotchetiness keeps you alive 'caise he was okd when I was a kid.

crazyinjapan's picture

I shouldn't make fun of old fucks, but this piece of grizzle is so old that when he takes a shit, his balls bob in the water.

He's so old that he remembers when dirt was invented; wait, no, he's so old he can't remember that anymore.

He's so old that his birthday cake with candles warmed the earth's atmosphere by ten degrees.

He's so old, his prostate quit that bitch 50 years ago.

What an assbag. Never thought he was funny.
