It's a completely different skillset from just being socially funny. And there's timing. The laughter should die down enough for your next lines to be heard, but not too late that you get silence.

Ask a comedian how he writes his jokes, he will say they are not jokes they are tough tough work.

[@fewerbeansplease]

By themselves most of the jokes were funny; but Rodney knew how to push them into the stratosphere. My favourite, which has now passed its best date, is "I get no respect. I'm in the elevator, the guy always says "Basement?" Oh man...

@@dickrichard626 His jokes are honed over time and many tests and the clubs. These aren't just pulled out of nowhere. They're carefully crafted, practiced and timed. Because they're on-liners he can string them together with some clever transitions. Add to that Rodney was VERY quick and could break out many of his classic jokes for many conversation occasions.

I went on a blind date. I said "Are you Dorothy?" She said "Are you Rodney?" I said "Yeah" She said "I'm not Dorothy" No respect I tell ya.

[@bartonpercival2147]

“I tell ya Johnny blind dates aren’t good either. I went on a blind date last week, and a girl showed up wearing pigtails, under her arms” 👌🏼

[@FourHorsemen-k2y]

How original was this man, grew up in the 70’s and loved his material up into the 80’s ! Classic

[@davidmcgovern7663]

Rodney....best stand up comedian ever! I'll never forget Ridney delivering a one -liner I heard on the radio while driving my car(past a cemetery, timing was impeccable)... Rodney : "you know you're getting old when you pass by a cemetery and the guys with shovels start chasing ya". It was like he gave me a personal laugh as I was not in a happy mood at the time. He was and will always be my favorite comedian.

Self-deprecating humor - takes a lot of self confidence and inner peace

[@julietjowett9678]

and i believe the converse is also correct - humor at the "expense" of another is rooted in insecurity and inner turmoil - like bullying - just because there's a reason - doesn't make it an excuse - I was watching an interview with Leonard Cohen this morning about Hallelujah - and expected and wanted to a learned discussion with one of the greatest poets of our time about his own interpretation of the words and the reasons that he chose the sounds that he did to match them - instead the interviewer wanted to gossip about other people's performances of the piece - Cohen tried to correct him - the interviewer ignored the remark and this time Cohen was loud and clear in his view - but the interview continued down that path - always trying to get him to be critical and negative - Cohen - always seeing what is true - the beauty and compliment in someone wanting to use his words and music ... in the end when the interview was over - he asked "did you get anything interesting?" and they said yes - and he replied something along the lines of "maybe we should keep going - we might get something interesting" - my oh my - I love a brilliant mind and a way with words - it's not passive aggressive - it is polite and pointed - I wonder if they ever understood what he meant? I doubt it.

[@GODHATESADOPTION]

Rodney was beaten, robbed, abused and lied to his whole life, its actually all true and real, they were not jokes but facts

[@antoniopall5355]

Many try it and it just sounds depressing. Not Rodney.

[@peterpedro7662]

So true

[@AmpasaurusWrecks]

I totally agree, interviewers and show hosts have gotten worse and worse, they're rude and mostly uninformed.

[@victorespino5650]

Who told you you could feel up my wife. Everybody

Victor Espino you suck. It goes: "I said to him, I said hey buddy, who told you you could play around with my wife? He said "everybody"

Victor Espino i was so fat i got my shoes shined an i had to take his word for it 😅😅 goat

I went to Hollywood, they gave me a tour of all the extras houses... *points up to the mic* that's on definitely?

Someday a movie about this man who brought so much humor to the world!

[@alethealenning3809]

Absolutely ageless. During the covid isolation my children and I explored my childhood favorites. They loved it and together we survived with the help of laughter. Thank you sincerely Mr. Dangerfield. XOXOXO

[@jackfairweather199]

The King of the one liner. Thank you Rodney!

R.I.P Rodney, an absolute legend to this world. We were truly blessed to have grown up watching you on tv

"Oh, but it looks good on you, though." .... I still use that line today. LOL

I used to watch Rodney Dangerfield with my dad. I never saw him laugh so hard.

The greats like Rodney always get better as I get older.

[@coyleigh5163]

Rodney Dangerfield was a comedic fucking genius. His timing was impeccable and beyond reproach. Rodney Dangerfield was a living legend. Rodney Dangerfield will live forever in everyone of his fans hearts. He had millions of fans. He made millions of people laugh and forget the troubles of daily living and for that he deserves to be honored and respected as the great man and the even greater comedian that he was. You are sorely missed Rodney. Rest in peace.

[@jontraz5993]

Beautiful sentiment, friend. I wholeheartedly agree.

[@jasonvandervalk3679]

Who comes back to this for a good laugh🤑

[@JazzyJeffRealTalk]

He was a machine gun of the one liners, dude was a comedic genius at self deprecating jokes. 😂 RIP legend 🎤

[@primagiedi3775]

“He was so skinny the funeral had one pall bearer, a waiter!” I literally laughed so loud 😂😂😂😂

[@G00N3YC4NG]

So good 😅

[@jujuguy2323]

Wow. Rodney and Carson. We will never see the likes of them again

[@Twinbonding]

That was a fantastic collaboration. Carson/Dangerfield. Timeless raw American culture. 📺

[@DonBarzini-lw3bc]

Little did he know at the time that Caddyshack would become a huge hit and a cult movie

He's got my respect.

[@annsmith8948]

Yeah mine too! Love it when he adjusts his tie LOL

[@PeterBeickert-kv8ui]

As far as I'm concerned Rodney was the funniest comedian of all time. 😂😂😂

[@dakotarockefeller514]

Rodney Dangerfield, was truly one of a kind, and you can't take that away from him.

[@JavaScriptJolt]

He was brilliant in “Back to School”!!!

[@cmsacademy1673]

I’m here watching this after rewatching Back to School. What a legend this man was. I first came across him as an actor in Spanish dubbed movies. Today my English is good enough to hear his original voice and jokes

[@TheRedDevil_NC]

What’s truly amazing is even dafter someone is long gone, there is someone else who takes the time to keep his memory alive. Thank you for these clips

[@wolfspain7385]

11:00 "You're the one who saw it?" Was an incredibly underappreciated joke.

[@jkokich]

wolfspain7385 agreed!

[@jdfli7810]

I really liked the "How long do you expect to be in Shanghai?" line. Great improv.

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

💥💥 Stand up was so deeply rooted in his soul that I don’t think that he could speak a single sentence that wasn’t said as a joke. Pure comedic brilliance.

[@stobe187]

I love how the panel portion of his visits to talk shows is just a continuation of his set. Legend.

[@mikevenetos7149]

No body like rodney

[@stobe187]

@@mikevenetos7149 no doubt.

[@kennealy2148]

I had some jokes similar to Rodney's, such as: I had a hankerchief with black and white squares on them, somebody walks up to me, looks at my hankerchief, and says to me, "you going to the races?" I says "No, why?" And he says "Cause your hankerchief looks like the checkered flag."

[@krayzeejojo]

One of the best guests ever. No wonder Johnny seemed so bored and annoyed most other episodes. Rodney spoiled him rotten lol.

[@RudeDude2140]

Johnny was great at setting him up.

[@OtterloopB]

I'd argue it was a ton of fun whenever Rickles showed up too.

[@MrEsMysteriesMagicks]

Johnny always smelled that way.

@Loki Nebula No, he wasn't.

[@jeffreyphillips4182]

Saw him in Dallas in late 80's. 2 hrs of one liners had me in stitches😂

[@leomurillo9381]

I don't know how many times, I have watched Rodney and I never get tired of it. Every time there is something different about his performance (Outstanding!!!) This guy is the Mozart of stand up comedy! You look up the comedians and shows right now (hosts, interviewer's etc.) what a disaster for entertainment and real comedy. Johnny was great too a true performer. I miss this classics. i love you Rodney!!!!!!!!
