I miss Rodney Dangerfield

[53' Stude]

And here is exactly why

I am sure some folks here that are older than me remember him in his heyday

Rodney was so entertaining.

 

[StevieC]

I thought he was good and enjoyed the stuff I saw.

I was lucky enough to see him, Carlin and Clay back in the day. All of them had a great show.

Agree … most so called comedians now are just agenda driven hacks …

 

[spasm3]

Loved his comedy. Original.

 

[John_K]

Rodney was one of my favs. Thanks for sharing.

Another one that I miss is Don Rickles. What would one call it... insult comedy?

 

[BigD1]

Yup he was awesome.

He must have been the opposite of his stage persona. He was a near life-long friend of Bob Newhart. Tracy Morgan burst into tears talking about Mr. Rickles after his death.

Dangerfield was a joker even after he died. He is buried in a swanky Los Angeles cemetery. On his gravestone, under his name, it says:

"There goes the neighborhood!!" Look him up on findagrave.com

What I liked about Rodney is he showed how to not take one's self so seriously.

My wife's cooking is so bad, the flies got together and fixed the screen door!

Rodney comes home at night and sees a guy running across the street naked.
'Hey, what's the big idea' he shouts, 'This is a nice neighborhood.'
'This is your fault,' the guy answers. 'I wouldn't be doin' this if you hadn't come home early.'

Do a search for Rodney on You Tube and laugh for hours.

I saw George Carlin in 2003, was awesome.

 

[Shannow]

He was good...punchy one liners, stacked into one another.

(I like Steve Hughes, but really not safe for work)

 

[ZZman]

Yep. Great rapid fire stuff

A little fun fact. Most of the Caddyshack script was ad lib by Dangerfield et al.
