Rodney Dangerfield dead at 82He may have been a bit cheesy at times, but the guy made me laugh. You'll be missed, Rodney! EDIT: Rodney Dangerfield died today, at 82. That's all the input I have for this thread. Take it as you will. pwnd by Schild at 8pm my time. Sorry I missed this in the media bias thread. At least I gave a link to the story.... so this isn't entirely useless.

I loved Caddyshack, which he will immortally be tied to in my mind.
He will be missed.

One of the great comedians of all time. The guy could crack non-stop jokes, one of the last real comedians, not this Seinfeld crap stand-up that passes for comedy these days. Rodney was the real deal, and oddly enough, that earned him the respect he always claimed to not get. He was making appearances and still being funny only a month ago. And he was overtly pro-marijuana, I respect that as well.

Hey! I'm overtly pro-pot and you never show me any respect! ;p In any case I forgive you.
Not long ago I saw a programme that contained clips of Henny Youngman. I was surprised at how much he reminded me of Rodney Dangerfield. Constant, usually very silly, one liners guaranteed to make you laugh and groan at the same time. I really loved him in Caddyshack and even enjoyed his silliness on late night talk shows.

Youngman and Dangerfield both were from the same school of comedy and they were both fantastic. Dangerfield could just riff for hours off that stuff, and it was all funny.
Via con dios, Funny Man. You will be sorely missed.

Caddyshack was a classic. Easy Money had its moments. Hell, even Back to School was funny. Rodney was great. RIP, buddy.

One of the great comedians of all time. The guy could crack non-stop jokes, one of the last real comedians, not this Seinfeld crap stand-up that passes for comedy these days. Definitely. I think his movies were kinda lame, but as far as standup goes, the guy would have me on the floor instantly. Just brutal. I think I'll even place Richard Pryor second to him. What sucks is I can't find shit as far as standup DVD's or VHS goes...Been looking for something for years. Unfortunately, his death will probably change that.

BWL is funny tho. It's like watching a Special Needs school take a field trip to a minefield.

I went to the doctor because I'd swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.

I kind of like Seinfeld though it probably wouldn't bother me much if he turned up dead. I was a wee bit sad when Rodney Dangerfield died.

Worst news since Kennison.
Rodney was a damn funny guy, even if he was looking a bit haggard last I saw him on Conan.

I asked my old man if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, "Wait til it gets warmer."
I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent back a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof!

* Good crowd..good crowd. I'm telling * you I could use a good crowd. I'm ok * now but last week I was in rough * shape.. you know. * * Why? I looked up my family tree and * found out I was the sap. * * I come from a stupid family. During * the civil war my great uncle fought * for the west! * * My father was stupid. He worked in a * bank and they caught him stealing * pens. * * When I was born..the doctor came out * to the waiting room and said to my * father.. "I'm very sorry. We did * everything we could..but he pulled * through." * * My mother had morning sickness after * I was born. * * My mother never breast fed me. She * told me that she only liked me as a * friend. * * My father carries around the picture * of the kid who came with his wallet. * * When I played in the sandbox the cat * kept covering me up. * * I could tell that my parents hated * me. My bath toys were a toaster and * a radio. * * Some dog I got too. We call him * Egypt because he leaves a pyramid in * every room. * * What a dog I got. His favorite bone * is in my arm! * * I worked in pet store and people * kept asking how big I'd get. * * One year they wanted to make me * poster boy.. for birth control. * * I remember the time I was kidnapped * and they sent back a piece of my * finger to my father.

He was in the * electric chair. * * I went to a phreak show and they let * me in for nothing. * * I stuck my head out the window and * got arrested for mooning! * * Once when I was lost.. I saw a * policeman and asked him to help me * find my parents. I said to him.."Do * you think we'll ever find them." He * said.."I don't know kid.. there are * so many places they can hide." * * I remember I was so depressed I was * going to jump out a window on the * tenth floor.. so they sent a priest * up to talk to me. He said.."On your * mark..." * * On Halloween..the parents send their * kids out looking like me. * * Last year.. one kid tried to rip my * face off! * * Now it's different.. when I answer * the door the kids hand me candy. * * When my old man wanted sex.. my * mother would show him a picture of * me. * * I had a lot of pimples too. One day * I fell asleep in a library. I woke * up and a blind man was reading my * face. * * My wife made me join a bridge club. * I jump off next tuesday. * * One time I went to a hotel.

He told me.."That * is why we give you 21 days." * * Another travel agent told me I could * spend 7 nights in Hawaii. No days.. * just nights. * * My problem is that I appeal to * everyone that can do me absolutly no * good. * * They say.."Love thy neighbor as thy * self." What am I supposed to do? * Jerk him off too? * * At christmas time I sat on santa's * lap. His fly was open. Boy..what a * present he gave me! * * My sex life is terrible.

A * saint bernard! * * I was tired one night and I went to * the bar to have a few drinks. The * bartender asked me.. "What'll you * have?" I said.."surprise me." He * showed me a naked picture of my * wife. * * During sex my wife always wants to * talk to me. Just the other night she * called me from a hotel. * * My marriage is on the rocks again. * Yeah..my wife just broke up with her * boyfriend. * * One day..as I came home early from * work..I saw a guy jogging naked.
