While most were afraid of messing with Frank, there was one man who had the courage to push his buttons. That man was insulting comic Don Rickles. The reason that Frank put up with Don’s abuse was that they were lifelong friends. Still, there was one prank that almost went too far.

Frank Sinatra and Don Rickles became friends during their days performing in Las Vegas. Don was an insult comedian, and Frank knew that being friends with an insult comedian meant having to be the butt of some jokes. Don wasn’t afraid to push Frank’s buttons in ways that other people couldn’t. At parties, Don would welcome Frank by telling the crooner to make himself at home by hitting one of the guests. Of course, this was a joke regarding Frank’s history of domestic violence.

For the most part, Frank Sinatra put up with Don Rickles letting his insult-comic persona bleed into their personal relationship. However, there was one prank that Don pulled on Frank at a restaurant that humiliated the singer much too severely. Frank was hurt so bad by this prank that he had to get retribution, and he ended up doing so in a way that proved equally humiliating for the comedian.
