“He said okay, you’re ugly too.”
This being the punch line of my Favorite Joke Of All Time.
I left him off the list only because I’m not certain that you can technically call his appearance in any film that he was in “acting”. But the man just killed me every time I saw his act, never failed.
My other favorite: “I get home a little early from being on the road doing shows; I don’t want to go home just yet...so, I call a cab and tell the driver, “take me to where the action is!”. So, he takes me home!
I agree, it's certainly the funniest one liner I've ever heard. Well, maybe it's a two-liner. But aren't most one-liners actually two-liners? Hmm.
Another thing is, every time I try to tell that joke, I get no laughs at all.
It was Mr. Dangerfield's timing and funny facial expressions that made it such a punch-to-the-gut belly laugh.
“The day I was delivered in the hospital, I was so ugly .........the doctor slapped my mother!”
