A legend in his time. Insults took on a new meaning when in the hands of Mr. Rickles.

Rest in peace, you pain the side of so many...love ya!

I was a big fan of Rickles as well. Even though most of the shtick that made him famous would be considered politically incorrect today, I always got the feeling that it was entirely just shtick and that Mr. Warmth actually was a heck of nice guy who didn't believe the things he was saying. The fact that he and Bob Newhart were best buddies didn't at all surprise me. I think Bob is, and Don was, a gentleman. I'll miss him.

Being insulted by him would have been awesome!

From what I've been reading, Mr. Rickles was a wonderful husband, friend and person.

Remember his nickname? Mr. Warmth....

People are expressing their thoughts and it seems many wanted to be the one he insulted.

That is a reputation few, if any, will ever experience.

Thanks, Daver and strong1.

Loved Don Rickles. And he was in a Twilight Zone: "Mr.Dingle, The Strong". It's too bad his brand of insult comedy is almost extinct. It was hilarious.
