It is sad that Political Correctness has almost destroyed the true meaning of the word comedy. Comedy was and is supposed to be the foundation of taking certain problems and contrasts and making a joke out of it, so that the entire world could laugh. Don Rickles said it himself on the album "God brought us here all to laugh". In the world today, where they try to make laws banning a person of smoking in their own backyard because the smoke might offend their next-door neighbor makes this album a delight to listen to.
Don Rickles has almost had to stop his act because of Political Correctness, and he himself was considered a minority back in the 1960s. There are people out there that this is filth and that only "criminals" would listen to this. Well, this is a free country and I am glad that Warner Bros. has given us on for the funniest comedy albums I have ever listened to. A drama director once told me that acting was once about creating a program with people who had problems. It didn't matter if the show was drama or comedy, there always had to be an inner problem always around. Don Rickles admitted "racial bigotry" existed and that the best thing to do was to face it and make jokes about it. It is better to joke about your problems, instead of hide them and lock them away. That only causes more problems.
So if you want something that will not insult you, then please do not buy this disk. However, if you are one of the few that really don't care what other people think in this modern world and know that it was all in good fun, then please get this disk and enjoy the master that tried to offend everybody of any race, size, or speed. He even made jokes at his own expense. How can you hate this man? If there were more people like this today in our Political Correct world, there wouldn't be so many problems.

I remember I had taped this recording from an LP my friend had when it first appeared in the late 60's, early 70's. I couldn't wait to play it for my father when he came home from work. I remember that I had to periodically shut off the tape because my father couldn't catch his breath, he was laughing so hard! From the moment I heard this record, I became Don Rickles' biggest fan. The guy just goes non-stop for 40 minutes. You can really use your pause button on your cd player with this recording because some of the cracks go by so fast you need to shut down for a second and realize what the guy's wingin' out there! As much as he can be venomous, he can completely change stride and tug at your heart strings as evidenced by his closing, "I never picked on a little guy, only big people." Buy it, play it, and feel Rickles' magic. There's only one Rickles and only one recording for sale that I know of. You won't be disappointed.

Don Rickles - The Comedian Who Thumbs His Nose at Political Correctness

2008年11月14日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Recorded in 1968, Don Rickles is heard in this 40 minute audio recording performing his "typical" Las Vegas nightclub routine - as a man who thwarts political correctness and comedically savages every race, religion, media star, and profession known to mankind! I say this is "typical" Rickles because I have heard many of these routines before on U-Tube and on television, and these are the routines Rickles is known for. He blasts his Jewish heritage, "The Chosen Race", his wife, his sex life, Latinos, Polacks, American Indians, Blacks, Puerto Ricans, "queers" (as he calls them), fat guys, fellow comedian Don Adams, and even the legend himself, Ed Sullivan! The put-downs come a mile a minute and one has to listen closely to hear every last one of them. Some hit the funny bone dead-on, while others miss the mark slightly. Overall, I think this is a funny recording, especially the first time you listen to it. As with all recorded comedy routines, (which for the most part rely on the element of surprise to make you laugh), this is not an album that you will listen to over and over. I will probably listen to it one a year or so. I bought it because I wanted the younger generation to hear whom I considered a very funny man in my day.

My 23 year old son commented that Rickle's comedy was so different from any other form of comedy he had heard before. He wondered how Rickles could get away with the racial jokes - the same jokes that would be considered "hate-speech" today. And yet, this was an era before the advent of political correctness (thank goodness). My 18 year old daughter hardly laughed at all when she heard the album, so evidently, some of Rickle's humor does not translate through the generations. My wife thinks Rickles is an idiot. I really do think that it comes down to whether you enjoy his humor and can see the comedic genius that resides in this remarkable man. Some can see the genius and laugh, while others turn away shocked and dismayed. Rickles is not for everyone.

Rickle's humor is unique. No one else did what he did, or if they tried, could not do it as well as Rickles. He was and is the master of the put-down, yet he always closes his routine with a plea for humans to love one another across racial and religious lines. He explains that his humor is meant to poke fun at the preconceived notions we have about other races and religions, and to dispel bigotry, not promote it.

I have the Don Rickles Project (DVD), and I actually like this audio recording better, as it does not have the profanity the DVD contains. If you want a small taste of what Don Rickles is like, you can't go wrong with this album. To me, Rickles is one of the funniest men in America. He really tickles my funny bone. Rickles is an aquired taste and is not for everyone however. If you buy "used" you are only chancing less than 4 dollars for this recording - a small price to pay for a great comedian.
