Carson Can’t Keep Up with Rodney Dangerfield’s Non-Stop One-Liners (1974)

[@jsat5609]

Dangerfield joke: When I was in high school, I didn't have a girl friend, so I went to drive in movies alone and did push ups in the back seat to keep up appearances.

@Cat Egorical Really? Troll

[@Truther2001]

@@DrMic2112 she's not a troll, she's a butthurt, snowflake generation kinda chick that allowed herself to be offended by Dangerfields first politically incorrect joke and that was the end of it for her. She prob only watched to the end to see what a train wreck looks like, bcoz in her eyes he's a creep. Then she saw him sweating profusely while sitting down and wiping his brow-sweat all over his face and her contempt for him just grew stronger and stronger. She feels superior to him bcoz she sees herself as perfect and behaves well in public and around her friends but is probably a total narcissist with her close loved ones and partner. We can only hope that ppl like her will seek out psychological help to work out their deep-seated childhood traumas that were inflicted upon her through poor parenting.

[@cbmlgia]

@@Truther2001 you just ruined it by telling him to check it out. Shoulda just left it be. It's like telling people that you are funny. Not funny any more... :/ I feel bad for the time you put into writing all that.

[@ThatKidBryan]

@Cat Egorical I audibly laughed out loud the first time I heard that. It wasnt a deep, prolonged, guttural type of belly aching laugh, but a laugh none the less. Its ok if you dont find him funny. But to be out here handing out back handed compliments is pointless. You dont find him funny. So leave it at that. Baiting someone into answering whether or not is self serving. If a masturbation joke is funny to me (us, whomever) then what does it matter to you? You dont get the humor or appreciate it. Thats fine. To judge others that do make you an asshole.

Actually, the title states "Carson can't keep up......." but in REALITY, Carson was the best "set-up" man or straight man for any comedian. Ask Don Rickles on interviews after Johnny had passed. Ask most any comedian of that era if Johnny set up the table, and let the artistry of the guest flow. Johnny was setting up Rodney. Both knew their roles, and I liked both of them very much, but believe me on this: Johnny was two steps ahead of most everyone in the entertainment business. He could be funny, or he could be the straight man. That's the sign of a great entertainer.

Good observation. This was not Rodney at his best. I became a big fan a few years after this. He was in Caddy Shack in 1980 which, IMO, put him on another level. I saw him live in 1984 and he was amazing. His movie, Back to School in 1986, was also a great flick.
