24 minutes of the late great Rodney Dangerfield.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtu.be ...
“We were so poor, if I hadn’t been born a boy, I’d have had nothing to play with!”
I saw him at Sunrise Music in Fl. 3rd row. Laughed so frigen hard for the entire show I missed 1/2 of it.
Best time ever
“one time I sawr a blimp!”
RIP.
Hope he’s finally getting some respect.
I think I was at that same show.
i’m making love to my wife and I ask her if there’s someone else. She says “There must be.”
You scratched my anchor.
“When I was a kid I was so short I had to blow my nose through my fly”.....
I like Rodney...bunches. Definitely need the laughs. Got rear-ended this afternoon. Young guy with tattoos all over him. Suspended license. No proof of insurance. Not horrific damage, but need some Rodney humour, for sure.
Marking.
His career was in the dumps until he invented the “no respect” character. It wasn’t his true persona and it bothered him that everyone thought it was.
Also, his movies were good too. Ladybugs may be a kid's flick, but Dangerfield shines in it.
I love to watch comedians “work” and Rodney was one of the best.
But as great a comedian as Johnny Carson was in his own right, watching him feed lines as a straight man to Rodney is pure comedic art. He was much underrated for these straight man skills.
My wife wanted to make love in the back of a ‘57 Chevy. And she wanted me to drive!
Take my daughter. Now there’s a piece of work. Her yearbook photo is horizontal.
Dangerfield died in 2004. His headstone reads, “Rodney Dangerfield... There goes the neighborhood.”
RODNEY ROCKS!
Thanks for posting. This will help me have a much better sleep tonight then thinking about all that other jazz going on right now. Much needed comedy relief!
Totally love Rodney!
Rodney Dangerfield recites a Dylan Thomas poem...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r34Vuc4sF4
Do not go gentle into that good night
Dylan Thomas,
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Me too. I also heard Adam Sandler say he was at one of those shows when he was a teen.
