I was young when Rodney Dangerfield was in his prime, but have been watching stuff on youtube of late. 

I'm now a very big fan

 

 

 

 

I loved Rodney Dangerfield. One of the greatest.

No respect . I tell ya, we win a World Series last year and all the talk is about Tech. Great  pitcher in Kavan and they fawn all over Jordie, Briski, Carli and two TT pitchers. No respect at all.  

Went to the zoo and they tell my mom thanks for returning me. 🤣

A one of a kind Legend!

There's a behind the scenes or something on YouTube about caddyshack. He'd never done a movie before, didn't know what he was doing, no script.... they'd just point him up on the set and say go and not stop filming... lol

🤘

I’m trying to quit smoking, Gerry, trying to quit, it ain’t easy. My wife and I, we made a deal, we only smoke after sex. I still have the same pack from last year, but my wife, she’s up to three packs a day. 

I’m having a terrible day. This morning, I picked up my shirt and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase and the handle fell off. Now I’m afraid to go to the bathroom.

Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase improvising all over the place really frustrated Ted Knight who liked to stick to the script. 

When I was a kid, I was so poor, if I wasn't a boy, I wouldn't have had anything to play with.

Comedic genius IMO

Ted Knight was a pro straight man.

 

You buy a hat like this they give you a free bowl of soup. Looks great on you though

 

Lady Bugs, greatest soccer movie of all time. Prove me wrong.

Dangerfields biography was one of the funniest and saddest books I've ever read. Thanks for sharing this. 🤘🏼

In 1984 I saw Rodney Dangerfield live in concert in Washington DC. I was 31 years old back then and had been a fan since I was a little kid watching him on the Ed Sullivan show and with Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show when my Dad let me stay up late with him.

The venue was a theatre with a 3500 capacity and the place was SRO. Rodney put on a great show. Having only seen him on TV, I had never heard his "Adult" material and it was hilarious. Just enough off-color to be truly funny but not approaching really "Blue" or obscene.

My favorite line was Rodney said when he was a kid, at Halloween his Mother made him stand in the living room window with a candle in his mouth -- No Respect!

RIP Rodney Dangerfield.

Hook 'Em Gerry!

 

 

Gerry, 

Two other rabbit holes worth going down:

1. Don Rickles - the OG of insult comedians.  His ability to dress down people but remain loveable was genius.

2. Norm MacDonald - widely considered the "last dangerous comedian" before political correctness ushered in a dark age (but TBO, I feel the dangerous comedians are starting to rise again thanks to the Kill Tony podcast which paved the way for some of the recent irreverent roast specials on Netflix).
