Janet Leigh, Gordon Cooper, and now Rodney Dangerfield. He was 82 years old. In life, he 'never got no respect' - well, now I'm sure his fans will be paying their respects. Rest well Rodney.

I always liked Rodney, he never failed to crack me up. I'll miss his comedy for sure.

it was very nice to see that rodney did get a lot of respect in his later years from a whole new generation of younger fans. what a wonderful thing it must be to when in your 60's and 70's to have all of the 20-somethings think that youre cool. he will be rememberd fondly.

Another of my favorites is gone. Rodney always had my respect.

He was on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" and his comment ".. I just bought a used car.....I found my wifes clothes in the back seat!" brought the house down. Carson was in tears! He will be missed. he was one of the last of the Greats. He will be in the list of such famous comedians as Buddy Hackett, Alan King, Totie Fields, Richard Pryor, Johnny Carson, and Bill Cosby. I know there are others too.

A good friend of mine (also passed away) worked with Rodney on "Easy Money"
He played the Priest at the wedding. My friend was a man who loved to laugh,
and he loved working with Rodney. When I think Rodney Dangerfield , I think
of my friend. Two men who made the world laugh.

What a shame. He was a unique talent.

My two favorite Rodney lines:

"My wife's cooking was so bad, that the flies pitched in to get the screen door fixed."

"When I was getting married, my friends threw me a bachelor party. My fiancee was in the movie!"

The DJ on (whatever NY station I was listening to this morning) said he once interviewed Dangerfield - or tried to. Rodney had him and the crew cracking up so continuously they never actually got a useable interview.

"Yeah, I know I'm ugly. I went to my doctor to get a vasectomy. He said 'with your face, you don't need one.' I went to my proctologist for a checkup. He stuck his hand in my mouth..."

My favorite joke of his was:

"I had acne so bad as a teenager, let me tell ya! I fell asleep once in the library--I woke up and a blind man was reading my face!" :lol:

From Easy Money-

Rodney trying to photograph an unruley overwiegt child:

The Mother : He's got my mouth
The Father : He's got my Eyes
Rodney : (Muttering) He's got my Sympathy
Rest in peace Rodney

One of my favorites:

" I don't get no respect. You know what I mean? The other day, my dog was scratching at the door... I thought he wanted to go out for a walk. He wanted ME to go out for a walk!"

"I went to the dentist, he told me my gums were shrinking. I found out, I was brushing my teeth with Preparation H."

"My proctologist...he's the only one I see eye to eye with."

"What a cheap hotel that was I stayed in. They stole my towels."

"I know my wife is ugly. I took her to a plastic surgeon. He added a tail."

"My daughter...they call her 'Federal Express'. When she goes out with a guy, she absolutely, positively has to be there overnight."

"I said to my son, 'Someday you'll have kids of your own.' He said 'So will you.'"

"I don't get no respect, my wife had our checking account made out in two names; hers and her mother's."

My two favorite Rodney movies:
Back to School
Caddyshack

My favorite:

"I think my wife is cheating on me. Every time I come home, the parrot says QUICK, OUT THE WINDOW!"

I'll miss ya Rodney.
