Sadly the world has lost one of its funniest comics, known as being one of the best insult comics Don Rickles entertained for decades.
Perhaps his miss memorable role to me is being Mr. Potato Head in the Toy Story films.
His wise cracks on the tonight show were hilarious!!
R.I.P. Don Rickles
Don Rickles, a comedian and actor known for his abrasive humor, died Thursday from kidney failure at his Los Angeles home, according to his publicist, Paul Shefrin.

@chrissbergstrom That's true, if you want to call insulting people comedy.

He was funny. The auto correct monster has attacked your post...I'm not sure what Sally has to do with Don Rickles....a quick edit should fix the oops.

@chrissbergstrom it happens to me on my iPad as well. Most of the time I check....but if I skip the step, even once....Otto rears his head and messes with my words.

I was never really a fan of Rickles's brand of humor but he was certainly popular and well known.

Rickles' comedy is lost on the politically correct, don't-hurt-anybody's-feelings world today. The man was stinking brilliant. There was NOBODY he didn't offend.
He was also a Navy veteran of World War II, so I offer my fellow sailor a final salute.

He was something else @chrissbergstrom . He could be a little 'salty' at times, but he was funny.

I saw that this man passed away earlier, but didn't know who he was.. then my brothers friend mentioned it and that he voiced mr.potato head and it hurt my heart a little more.

@chrissbergstorm when did this happen? No idea. RIP Don Rickles. I'm a huge fan, and respects from India. I saw him roasting Clint Eastwood, Ronald Reagan, Martin Scorsese etc (old videos in YouTube). He was a different class altogether
