He’s starring in a movie which opens nationally Friday, July 25th, called Caddyshack. He’s got a new album out called No Respect. He’s a good friend and a funny man. Would you welcome, Rodney Dangerfield!”

    "I told my therapist I'm having suicidal thoughts. He said I had to start paying him in advance." - Rodney Dangerfield. Genius.

    The older you get, the more relatable Rodney becomes. What a legend
  • @caldrumr
    I love how he does his stand-up routine, then sits down for the interview, and the interview is just a continued stand-up routine.

    "My wife and I lived happily for 25 years. And then we met."

    "My wife's a bad cook, at our house we pray after we eat." Rodney
  • @optimisticcosmic
    His body movements and bulging eyes are funnier than 99% of other comedians entire acts.
  • @chriselyr2484
    He just oozes stage presence... he was always in complete control of the audience. A titan of American comedy.
  • @HiBye-ec8ts
    people who think what he does is easy have no idea how hard it actually is. He never fumbles over is words either. The guy was a treasure
  • @cherylbaker3353
    This man had the biggest heart I just listened to his biography and it just broke my heart he was so abused as a child his mother was so cruel to him his dad took off and he never saw him as cruel as his mother was he went to work as a little boy to support her and himself so they could eat he supported her forever he’s just amazing. He worked forever and ever to get a break as a comedian went through so much then his wife died and he gave up everything to support his two kids he didn’t want to abandon them. He had so much love and he was so darn funny. I just loved him and I miss him He also helped so many comedians get their start nobody does that what a great man!!!!♥️

    Mr. Dangerfield is funnier than any other comedian I have seen. His jokes are so clever, he leaves just enough time for the audience to grasp what he said, and yet he is so quick to get the next joke out while the audience is nearly done laughing over the previous one. His acts are pure perfection.
  • @jumpingthesmark2903
    my favorite line of his: "this lady told me 'come over, there's nobody home.' i went over, there was nobody home!"
  • @javierhuerta6557
    Perfect timing, perfect delivery, perfect pacing, perfect rhythm. A true master of his trade.
  • @dibber43

  • @bottlerocket3218
    Fun fact for you: Rodney Dangerfield was the first celebrity to have a personal website
  • @billa1870
    Miss this guy. These are the people you wished that would live forever.
  • @shoutatthesky
    41 years years later and I'm pissing myself with laughter! What a legend!
