DJPoLo Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Rodney "I Don't Get No Respect" Dangerfield passed away yesterday at 82. My favorite Dangerfield joke: I never got girls when I was a kid. One girl told me, 'Come on over, there's nobody home.' I went over. There was nobody home." What's yours? -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 My favorite Rodney Dangerfield bit was from the movie "Easy Money." He was taking a pill, but didn't have any water, so he leaned over a holy water font at the entrance of a church and slurped some with his hand to swallow the pill. He was awesome in "Back to School." I was in a comedy club in Los Angeles once (actually the original Improv in Hollywood) and he was in the audience. One of his proteges was performing, and the emcee had Rodney stand and receive some applause from his fans. I really hope that he knew how much joy he brought to a lot of people's lives before he left this world. I shall miss him and his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Perez Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Some of my favorite quotes: Parents: My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet. I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio. I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof. When my old man wanted sex, my mother would show him a picture of me. My old man, I told him I'm tired of running around in circles, So he nailed my other foot to the floor. Marriage: My wife was afraid of the dark...then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light. My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met. I'm taking Viagra and drinking prune juice - I don't know if I'm coming or going. My wife made me join her bridge club ... I jump next Tuesday. During sex my wife always wants to talk to me. Just the other night she called me from a hotel. Family: I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap. For Christmas one year I bought my son a BB gun. He bought me a t-shirt with a bulls eye on the back. My kids scotch tape worms to the sidewalk and watch the birds get hernias. My wife's not to smart. I told her our kids were spoiled. She said, "all kids smell that way". Rodney Dangerfield , I'm going to miss him. MP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 From the greatest movie ever, Caddyshack: - Hey Wang! I think this club is restricted so don't tell 'em that you're Jewish. - Hey baby, you must have been something before electricity. - Man, this is the ugliest hat I've ever seen. I bet if you buy a hat like this they give you a bowl of soup. - Oh is this your son, nice boy, what a great boy, nice boy....now I know why tigers eat their young. [Most used line on the golf course today] - [Gopher takes his ball] Hey! That kangaroo took my ball! From Easy Money, "Honey doesn't she look great in that green?"; "Yeah you could put six pockets on her and she'd be a pool table." From Back To School: - Hey so what's your major? English. Oh...wanna help me straighten my Longfellow? - [Girl in hot tub] Just say when? [Rodney] Right after this drink sweetheart! He was a great comedian and a great man. This world is smiling less without him. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPSCDRL Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Indeed a sad day. I heard an interview with him from not too long ago. It seems he never really got to enjoy his life and did not feel fulfilled. Real bummer. He was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Dang, I'll miss that guy. One time I went into a hotel, I asked the bellhop to handle my bag - he felt up my wife. They say 'love thy neighbor as thy self', what am I supposed to do jerk him off too? What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bee and he told me about the butcher and my wife. My cousins gay, he went to London only to find out that Big Ben was a clock. Rodney...respect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I liked Rodney... but I knew when he married that young and beautiful girl his days were numbered. That will kill a man everytime. But the upside is, it took a sledge hammer to close the coffin lid and Rodney died with a big smile on his face. Now he will finally get some respect.

jhgtyre Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I was lucky enough to have been around Tim Allen quite a bit just before Rodney Dangerfield took Tim under his wing. Not too long afterwards Tim was too famous to bother working little clubs like the one my wife and I worked in. Everyone said Rodney was a great guy and if you were an up and coming comic he could make a SIGNIFICANT difference in your career. I hope that he is playing to a packed house wherever he may be. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott G Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Two more from the best of Rodney: "I went to see a proctologist and he stuck his finger in my mouth" "I went out with a hooker, and she said not on the first date" RIP Rodney, you were the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.40AET Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Just got back from Vegas. Someone joked that the odds were 2-1 that Rodney would sit up and do a quick schtick on: "Even after death, I don't get any respect" Sad to see him go, the legacy will allways be here. I'll never stop laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I always remeber the scene in Easy Money when he had to loose weight, so he was riding a stationary bike in the family room at Christmas time. The bike comes off the stand and he rockets into the Christmas tree on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 "What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup. Oh, it looks good on you though." That's the first one to come to mind for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run n Gun Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I tell ya I get no respect. Like the other day, I was up stairs taking a nap when the house caught on fire. My wife says, “Shush children, you’ll wake your father”! Yeah, there was only ONE Rodney… Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
