vintage Rodney Dangerfield comedy 1978

[@WildlifeTshirts]

No matter how many times I hear Rodney I still laugh. He was/is the best.

[@MrZackavelli]

I love seeing the wind and brass instrument players having to blow their instruments but having to fight off laughing from Rodney's routine. You can see it in the shots where they're smiling through their mouthpieces

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

It is fun! But I’ve never seen a brass band play with a comedian like that. It sort of seems like a British thing.

[@SavileRow65]

Whenever I'm having a rough time, Rodney helps put things into perspective.

[@4N9vxO3WnK]

u have to watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGHYgoFma7KDgrs HYSTERICAL stand up comedy by Dangerfield which you might've not seen

[@PabloCruise91]

I love Rodney. Not only his jokes but his mannerisms too, faces he makes, and how he grabs his suit.

[@larryhelms3338]

PabloCruise91 ll".'

[@geraldstuchell8894]

@@larryhelms3338 A great comedian. And he was known for being so kind and helpful to young, aspiring comedians.

[@ChrisR-ne4kn]

Not many comics today can do rapid-fire jokes like Rodney and some of the old greats. Rodney's a master at economy of words, not to mention having one of the all-time great stage personas.

[@brianholmes7827]

Thanks for the jokes and memories, Mr Rodney Dangerfield. Rest in peace.

[@tron3entertainment]

The band was a show of respect and was part of the bit. Not bad mouthing the band. I am very happy to find this clip as I saw it on TV as a kid. Watching the band crack up made it memerable. Talked about it with kids at school it was so epic. Thanks for the renewed memory.

[@tommyhaynes9157]

I think it was in great concept

36 years later and its still funny...

[@OrphanSeasun]

There's nothing funny about that friggin' band interjecting at every punchline; nothing at all. I love Rodney, but I got to 1:30 wrote this and now I"m leavi...

[@Azrael442]

OrphanSeasun your loss.

[@ericf5027]

+Al Swearengen Haha people's butts hurt because of the horns.

[@CasualVideoGamer]

@@ericf5027 usually, people's butts get hurt from being horny. What a twist!

[@itillbeme1]

This is genius as to what one does. Genius. No other can do like Rodney.

[@mach6247]

The crazy thing is that like 90% of all these are one-liners

[@milfordcivic6755]

Classic Rodney. Could have done without the band playing a fanfare after every joke tho....

[@thejasonbischoff]

Milford Civic * though.

[@MrZackavelli]

I think that that was like the gimmick of the show

[@stipenazorin2096]

Rodney was funny, he had the same style in his movies as he did in his stand up routines, it worked great in both fields !!!! He is sadly missed !!!!

[@maidenheart1]

hahaha I love coming back to watch him. He was amazing.

[@jimsrsprs]

Marvelous! Thanks for posting!

[@whatuautado]

Love Rodney Dangerfield! Real comedy is rare today. They just get more vulgar or stupid. No real clever lines anymore.

[@peartfaldo]

Chas Gregg they probably lip sinc too;-)

[@Zwei4815]

+Chas Gregg It's because it's what audiences want.

[@xxXthekevXxx]

I agree, though there are those few skilled comedians like George Carlin and Louis CK who manage to make vulgarity interesting and thought-provoking.

The music after every punchline gives his act an exquisite touch!

Thanks for posting

[@Dragon43ish]

There will never be a Rodney Dangerfield again.

[@TheGreatVictorNewman]

Rodney Dangerfield still rulez dead or alive he's the man. R.I.P. Mr. Dangerfield.

[@daveconleyportfolio5192]

The best part was his ad lib after the orchestra screwed up: "You know you're in trouble when they can't tell the jokes from the straight lines."

[@LibertyTreeBud]

Thanks for the laughs, Rodney was so special, great fun.

[@W.Stryker]

Back in the day when you were at home. We're eating dinner, there's no Facebook, no wifi, no cellphones. Just TV and family.

[@EMCF_]

@Top Dawg I'm sure people said the same thing then about the days before TV. Nostalgia is a drug.

[@filmnobelpreis]

What's the punchline?

[@lorewebb8980]

Look at us now. Four years after your comment. It's insane.

[@alexrodriguez351]

"I was so poor for my birthday my ol man showed me a picture of a cake"

Epic joke

[@BeingRomans829ed]

Is it just me, are all the entertainers today simply no-talent chumps compared to the old greats?

[@billt6264]

I saw Rodney live, many years ago. I missed every other joke laughing so hard. of course, I was high.

[@jpodell007]

His comedy club in NYC (Dangerfield's) is still operational

[@johnnyp8979]

Rodney Dangerfield, wonder where he located that name...? ALWAYS GREAT and ALWAYS super memories, ALWAYS great laughs!!!!

[@dragonbillylee4781]

One of the greatest of all time. I've heard these jokes over and over, yet they're still funny.

[@mikeef74]

Rodney was famous, but seriously underrated, I would rank him as the best comedian of all time. If Netflix paid Dave Chappelle over $40m for 2 shows, Rodney would be able to demand twice that if his prime.

[@randyj420]

I'll take all the Rodney I can get - thanks for posting

[@theprofessor7286]

When I grow up I was so poor that my dad showed me a picture of a cake 😂

[@danielgutierres4805]

First class comedian.good man.god bless his soul.

[@PaulMercedes]

the music at the punchline is awesome

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Rodney Dangerfield was a comic genius. Not many were ever in his league. I miss him. George Vreeland Hill

[@kanoman44]

Rodney was funny and very polished. He doesn't stumble over words or say uh. That shows that he practiced and worked hard on being a great comedian. RIP.

[@AlteredConditions]

What a guy, marvelous performance thanks for the laughs!

[@steviebkhall]

Thanks, that was great.peace.

[@Mentyr]

Listening to comedy acts and getting paid for it... these musicians have the greatest job in the world!

[@sclogse1]

+MEnTyr.Me Laundry bills

[@konecny6]

The master, the king, the best, whatever you wanna call Rodney, there was NO one better at standup than him...his timing and delivery is so professional, not like the new stand ups with their uhs and hmms. RIP Rodney, I'm sure you got them laughing in the heavens

[@doctorfreebase5822]

It must have been hard to blow that trombone while cracking up from laughter

[@Johnflugelhorn]

You are so right. Watching the vdeo I am impressed by his perfect on time delivery like a polished musician he never misses a beat!

[@w.m.aslam-author]

A picture of a cake! 😂

[@matthumphrey9475]

Pay attention, young world. This is poetry in motion. Looks like standup, but it's more like a dance; hip hop w/o rhyming.

[@arame29]

the musicians had to fight from keep laughing

[@masonking1537]

Rhythm is amazing

[@roxierocker5624]

Harold King It's worked for me and I'm not even Catholic! Seriously speaking, ... Rodney had the timing and the hesitation when needed. It all worked. Wish we could find a U.S. Senate that could perform the same way.

[@johnboy12ish]

Rodney had great comedic timing and could just roll 'em out. Awesome!

[@peterhrnandez7808]

rodney my hero . you were the best there ever was . you was the best there ever will be . long live rodney !!

[@erlindabrunt]

I enjoy watching some classic comedy

[@ftsjr]

RIP, Rodney. You ALWAYS made us laugh!

[@silentwhisper2009]

thx for sharing, i've not heard these jokes b4 and it was great to see another fabulous Rodney performance. The band couldn't even keep it together from all the laughing.

[@maxdingotm]

saw rodney at the venerable academy of music in philly 1980...had front row seats..was trrying to get his attention....finally he came in front of my seat and said "haya doin' kid..I didnt recognize ya got men's clothes on tonite .. (I'm a male).....one of the highlights of my life

[@kennethloud1054]

Damn music in between every joke got on my nerves

[@britishjerry1760]

Great format.

[@thomaspeoples136]

I WAS 4 YEARS OLD WHEN THIS AIRED

[@Szaam]

The band was ridiculous that it was funny in itself.

[@Tenebrius1963]

Him and Carlin are my favorites.

[@ericsterz7591]

Rodney is still the best.

[@cliffworks748]

don't pick on the band Rodney ordered them to play all those ques.

[@joelpartridge2509]

Greatest generation in comedy ever no political bullshit at all just made us laugh.

[@bobshouse123]

Band deserves credit for keeping it together during a Rodney set.

[@SayYes2Scorpions]

I loved it when the guys in the band started to chuckle!!

[@OofusTwillip]

Rodney got his stage name from a character on "The Jack Benny Show". That Rodney Dangerfield was a brash cowboy star, voiced by a 22-year-old actor named Elliott Lewis, who'd go on to make hundreds of radio appearances, before becoming a producer and director in radio and TV.

[@joshscheller-giesbrecht7255]

Playing a wind instrument would be difficult after all of these one liners

[@alexanderpytko5394]

Rodney was so funny. Wish he'd entered showbiz sooner in his life. I heard that before he started show business, he used to be a door-to-door salesman.

[@HalfassDIY]

he did enter soonet. before he sold siding, he was a comic too. he left and came back later in life.

[@jeffhohbach8903]

Rodney was the GOAT of standup.

[@HalloFusilli]

He was a very respected man. And for good reason.

[@Bayprodfilms]

This is great!! Best from The Late Night with Johnny P Show

[@jgood4085]

Now that's the way it's done all you future comedy giants, j

[@Thethingthatshdnotbe]

Simply The BEST !!! Thanks Rodney!

[@harlemhornet]

OVERKILL with the band after EVERY joke. Too much

[@Unusual6o6n6e]

CLASSIC!!!! CAN NOT GO WRONG!!!! you tryta play trumpets at the end you your jokes and lets see whos laughin then.rodney pulled it off witha you guys liked it or not haha. thats why he got to where he is and your where you are..on the otherside of this screen...annoyed by the trumpets.. hes laughin it out with all the other great comedians. RIP dangerfield you talented man

[@CarsonRandProject]

I love that he has the musicians laughing while they're working.

[@kenzo5716]

What a memory this guy had!

[@notsofast5495]

where did this take place. The band playing and their reactions to the jokes made this twice as awesome

[@NateTheMovieGuy]

The connect the dots one got me!

[@RawkHawk9000]

This guy is like late 70's - early 80's Milton Jones. I love it.

[@januthin]

That band is like if Bania was there on stage going "That's gold, Jerry! Gold!" after every single joke. However, it's a comfort to know back then networks were already at ruining decent shows by trying to hype them up and appeal to a wider audience. I like to distinguish real nostalgia from a false sense of nostalgia.

[@janetduncan87]

A class act all his own. He didn't need a side kick., Or gimmick, he was the best.

I felt old when he was alive!

[@evenmix1]

You do not need music .When Rodney was doing a symphony.

[@crysjumar1]

what a showman!

[@dexterdog62]

This guy was brilliant. Didn't need to drop f bombs every two seconds to tell a joke. A class act the likes of which we'll never see again...

[@stewgotz1]

oooh i tell ya, we were poor, we were so poor on our Christmas Tree we didn't have tinsel, we had til' grandpa sneezed....''

[@richig761]

LOL... this guy was a master. So polished. A few of these jokes actually age well too.

[@shack8110]

A perfect demonstration of the importance of timing.

[@ZepG]

I was lucky and when I was a kid in the 70's my parents took me to see him, I laughed my ass off.

Rickles is just Funny looking, not really a good comedian like Rodney...!

[@BoranTheki]

+James Toomey Whatever homey. Rickles has been one of the top draws in Vegas for 57 years.

[@BdR76]

Calm down there, grandpa. Sure these old comedians were great, but there's plenty of good comedians out there today too; Myq Kaplan, Stewart Francis, Gary Gulman etc.

[@Sinisterium-YT]

James Toomey is who's SNL?

[@RP752000]

EXCELLENT !

[@Raving]

Rodney was on a roll here. Once he got going half the band was missing the fanfares because they were laughing so hard.

[@mocus1]

Old vaudeville schtick, bada bing bada boom between jokes.
