Rodney Dangerfield Has the Audience Roaring with Laughter (1983)

[@cast390]

One of Rodneys best lines "Oh and my father was a heavy drinker, we saw a sign on the expressway that said Drink Canada Dry, He went up there".

[@jshepard152]

My favorite Dangerfield joke.

[@Mark-sj3xb]

How about “My dad was a workoholic. Everytime you mentioned ‘work’ he started drinking”

[@TudorOwen50s]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@robertelder300]

Ohhh, that's a KILLER!!😂😂

[@markblackmore521]

Never ever will there be a Rodney Dangerfield again. Thank you sir for the memories. RiP

[@emansnas]

Very true. He was a product of his times. When times were potentially tough and you had to make it on your own - No safety nets. Produced character, and not infrequently, characters *with* character. Rodney, exceptional man, broke his own mold.

[@triple7marc]

Check out Tom Cotter. He’s a similar comedian!

[@ondrejlukac5769]

Jimmy Carr?

[@lioneljosecastillo]

Amazing talent. 3 minutes of hard core laughter and not a teleprompter in sight. All memorized

[@TudorOwen50s]

2023 and still laughing like I did when I first saw this. The best of all time in my humble opinion! No profanity. Just Rodney at his best- ALWAYS!

[@28ebdh3udnav]

One of the best comedians who ever lived.

[@mr.wizard2974]

Yep George Carlin wouldn't have lasted a minute with Rodney!

[@russellshine4342]

Simply the best

[@The22on]

@@mr.wizard2974 I love both comedians and they're totally different. Carlin had a hit record at the start of his career called "AM./FM". Rodney ia AM - old school, and George is FM - new ideas. I don't know who I would rank as number three. Rodney is the quintessential nightclub comedian. Carlin is a 'thinking person's comedian'. He's a philosopher who uses comedy. Both are missed by their many fans. It's strange that what I like best about Carlin is his philosophy of life right before he died. He said he was too old to really care about the future of the Earth and people. He said he didn't "have a stake in the game anymore" That freed him. I, too, am at the age where I have turned my outrage to a low setting. I no longer see it as my job to "save the world." I can relax. (Well, I try). The world will just have to carry on without my sage advice and actions. Yes, it will be hard, but if I got outraged at every crazy thing that Trump does or says... lol. Btw, is your screen name based on the fifties TV show with George Herbert? I loved to watch him perform experiments and then explain what happened. Usually, I didn't understand the explanation. I'm an engineer and that bothers me. As Rodney: That was a rough week, I tell ya, when Rodney left. I mean, I'm ok now, but that was a doozy. The man got no respect; no respect at all!. Why, last week i went into a store to buy a Dangerfield record. There was no clerk! There was no store! The world had changed! It was Amazon, I tell ya. Now I gotta send an email just to buy deodorant! No respect at all.

"First time I called her up, she told me 'C'mon over there's nobody home.' I went over and there was nobody home." What a joke, the setup and punchline are the same. Perfect.

[@JayDogTitan-he6wo]

There are comedians that are outrageously funny no doubt, But Rodney Dangerfield was gifted, You couldn't get enough of him. He's truly missed.

[@daviddickerson9802]

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

I visit his grave several times a year just to thank him. All the true greats are gone.

[@patrickryan1515]

Love your kind gesture -- to a truly great comedian.

[@r.martin3494]

That's a bit introspective, maybe you should focus on the living more? It's a bit of an obsession don't you think. I mean I'm not knocking it, I'd go see a deceased star's grave too, but preferably only on a sunny day and only once in a lifetime! I'd say this is "normal", and fanaticism with a deceased celebrity can be indicative of a condition, you know. It means something about yourself. It might be worth seeing a counsellor to see if they reveal anything you didn't know about yourself, in the interests of self-improvement. Never the less, it's interesting to hear of your devotion to the late great, sensitive, warm and charming, Rodney Dangerfield. May God bless him, and you. 🎉

[@charliechipps2191]

😅 you can't figure how you could have been great as well? You definitely got no respect 😢

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

Ironically Rodney got more respect than just about any comedian who ever lived because he pulled off his self deprecating act so perfectly making people laugh every time he stepped on a stage.

[@franksmith7419]

Ironically?

[@Miatacrosser]

That man could put a smile on everyone's face the moment he walked into a room. Especially if you knew what was coming next. Every single one if those people in the audience had a smile ear to ear when he walked out cause for the next x amount of time, they were going to be laughing uncontrollably whether they wanted to or not.

[@evakillian7180]

He was the best he didn need to be foulmouthed like other comidiens. I.miss seeing him so much he helped my depression

[@mavelous1763]

He was famously good to young comics too…..MANY anecdotes from unknowns who are now famous

[@saverioman]
