    While I'm not a fan of most stand-up comedians, and I know some didn't like his brand of "humor," but most people felt it was an "honor" to be mocked or insulted by Rickles...

    - He was known as a "pussycat" who would never intentionally hurt a person's feelings in real life.

    Just sayin - Lighten up peeps.

    Yeah, I thought he was hilarious. A lot of it wasn't just what he said, or what he said period, it was how he delivered it. The guitar player Joe Walsh of the Eagles said the last time he saw Rickles, Rickles said to him, "Get a haircut. I'll pay for it." Well that isn't that funny in and of itself. But I can hear exactly how Rickles would say that, and the way he says it makes it funny. I just think he's funny. :)
