My favorite Dangerfield joke: "Doc, every morning, I get up, look in the mirror and throw up. What's wrong with me?" "I don't know, but your eyesight is perfect."
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.
Hey talk about appearances. Whats the difference between a lentil and a chick pea?? I'v never paid 200$ to see a lentil. (Say it out loud if u dont get it)
"When I was born the doctor smacked me -- I found out the nurse got a couple in too" -- don't know how many times I've seen this, but it still cracks me up. In high school I'd stay up to watch Johnny after my parents went to bed -- such a treat when Rodney was on. Thanks for the good times, Mr. Dangerfield!
@Gretchen Little - I had a little black and white TV that displayed almost nothing but snow but the sound still worked OK. So when I should've been sleeping, I played Johnny as well. I couldn't see the guests, but I could hear them! Comics like Rodney were definitely high points. :)
Yes it is! Oh, my face hurts! Somebody slap me so I can breath! I watched this man on so many shows back in the day. America needed to laff back then. We need him again. But, sadly there would be calls for him to be canceled. But, happily he'd make them look too funny to be taken seriously. He was great at ROASTING someone. And No one got mad. So many people have lost the ability to laugh at themselves. They retreat to their safe space. You only get the respect you earn. Rodney earned mine.😳😄😂 Love this channel.😍
I love how he does a three minute set, goes to the desk, and does a another nine minutes. He's so funny that it's easy to not even realize that in an hour show he does hundreds of jokes. Amazing.
@@didhedieddud334 more than half the jokes would get you "cancelled" in our current society, no comedian will ever be able to match the ones from the past due to people being super sensitive and not being able to laugh at themselves anymore.
@@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.
@@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.
@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.

What the hell is an "insult comic".......All comedy is making fun of someone or something in someway. If you are going to create a label for him, lets make sure the label isn't redundant.
@@kevinnelson66 ......you obviously don't know shit about Rodney Dangerfield. He made a living off of "One-Liners"......not insulting people. His bits were nothing like Don Rickles. Most of his material was about himself not "Getting Any Respect".......
@@cory8360 ......."you are a waste of matter".....that there is an insult. RD used himself as a punchline, which is HIS entire bit. He didn't come out "roasting" people. All comedy pokes fun at something or someone, so to say "insult comedy" is to be redundant. Thus your little "google search" makes you look dumb trying to defend someone else's silly point. Comprehension should have some sort of value in your adult life. Just saying.....
When this 70 year young person is a little down... I come here. I may have seen this with my old man as a teenager. I would get out of bed and go into the living room to watch with him. We hardly talked but we laughed together. He had a great laugh... Damn..
@@727Rays He's talking about watching the show in general. Maybe not this specific episode but throughout his teens he would watch Carson with his father. Just my 2 cents though could be wrong.
pschroeter1 That’s not the way I heard it, “My wife is such a lousy cook that once I left dental floss in the kitchen, the cockroaches hung themselves”
Watched him many times but only heard him tell this one once. “Yeah, and I had a rough childhood. When I was a teenager I had really bad acne. One time I fell asleep in the library and when I woke up, a blind man was reading my face!” What a great comedian.
That self-deprecating humor he had just resonates with people. He knew the human condition and encouraged us to find the humor in it. A true legend of comedy!
Way back in time my mom and I where watching Rodney. He told the classic joke " we had a fire in the house. My kids where screaming and my wife said be quiet you'll wake up daddy". We laughed so hard we both cried." That is a wonderful memory of her. Thanks Rodney.
Thats the best way to sum up the way we feel about great entertainers. They bring us close to our friends and family better than anything else because when you can share a laugh with someone that you might not see eye to eye with, for that one moment you are somehow connected and you just know you will allways remember them.
@@kevinchrist1658 Johnny barely said anything because he knew when you have a guest like Rodney and they're killing it, it was best to let him work. 🤣 Jimmy though, Jimmy would try to interrupt mid-sentence to tell his own jokes and probably kill the vibe. 😒
Definitely and Johnny picked his replacement perfectly. Jay was way better than if Dave took over. I get why Dave was mad but sorry Jay was just better.
@@alfulton5946 The biggest stars don't need to shine every moment. None was, or will be bigger than Johnny. Like Carson, Jay would let the guest be the star for the moment, while as great as Letterman was, he could never really do that.
"I told my doctor I had suicidal tendencies, he said I have to start paying in advance." Dangerfield is like a downpour of jokes, one after the other and the next one is funnier than the one before. This guy knew comedy.
When he got older you see him always doing the - ‘ ask the guy if that’s your wife ‘ bit . When he says yes then make a look like she’s really horrible looking. Watch him. Other than that one or some similar he was pretty good
Rodney Dangerfield's last words were a one-liner about how long he would be hospitalized for the heart-valve replacement surgery which ended with his death: "If all goes well, about a week. If not, about an hour and a half"
What he has that so many comics lack is a sincerity and intensity. You feel for him because he's lived it so when he pulls the trap door lever you fall every time.
Rodney's connection with the audience is (always) magic. A barrage of one liners, delivered by one on the best comics ever, to an audience that is clearly entertained, and sure shows it. And Johnny is the consummate interviewer. He would put himself out there every night to be cracked up, and Rodney sure hits the target right on on that evening. I miss this era.
I liked Dangerfield but could only watch him on shows like Carsons. His live performances had language that was pretty raw & cringe worthy. On regular tv shows he was a laugh riot.
@@abunchofiguanaswithinterne2186 yeah. I'm an old lady so his TV appearances were better to watch. TV is not for the faint of heart these days, in my humble opinion.
Last year for Christmas, I gave my wife a pair of shoes, and a vibrator. I figure that way if she doesn't like the shoes, she can go fuck herself !!! Rimshot!!
my favorite joke was from back to school when he asked that lady who was a teacher out to dinner and she said she couldn't go because she had class, and Rodney said, "Call me when you don't have any class" LOL The best!
'Back to School'. The movie's producers realized let Dangerfield be Dangerfield and set him up with a great supporting cast in their known personas (sultry-voiced Sally Kellerman, manic Sam Kinison, sexy Adrienne Barbeau, et. al) and play off each one---pure movie magic and still pretty funny thirty-five years later.
45 times his tie/collar was adjusted according to a commenter too. This should've be taken down & edited to repeat one tie/collar adjustment every year
Love Rodney Dangerfield. One of my favorites from him went something like, “What’s the point of getting married? It’s easier to just find some woman you can’t stand and buy her a house!”
Yeah you know it, I’ve never seen him before to be honest with you, but straight he reminds me of comic that was in the film Goodfellas, was it Benny Goodman or something like that the king of the one liners, he said he asked his wife where she’d like to go on holiday, she said somewhere were I haven’t been before so he said, well try the kitchen, is he dead though Jude if you don’t mind me asking you.
Is my memory (80 yrs. ) correct ? Did this genius appear on The Ed Sullivan Shows ? I can still hear my dear dad busting a gut ! (He didn’t like Joan Rivers, though, I did !). We were spoiled . Now, if the so-called comics could not resort to garbage mouths & sick sex-filled 💩💩💩💩, they’d be zeroed out !🤣🤣🤣
@@gusbeau1 not all of today’s comics are bad-times have just changed, along w/what people want. Change isn’t always good, but it’s not always bad either. Who knows, when I’m eighty years old, we might finally have flying cars and robots doing stand-up

Great material and delivery. This wasn't his best but there are some clips on RU-vid of him on with Johnny and I literally can't breathe I'm laughing so hard. Can't recover from one joke before he's firing out another.
I saw him in concert back then and someone threw a joint on stage. He picked it up and said “I’ve been smoking it for years! “ And took a couple of hits ! He was one in a million!
“Yesterday was a beauty. I put on my shirt and a button fell off... I picked up my briefcase, the handle fell off... I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.”
@@johantrenier1685 He was a great comic in his own right! Do you find today's late night hosts funny? No, angry and political, and they are about to get much angrier soon!! ;D
Ron Schlorff Ron I don’t watch any of them. Haven’t in years. Didn’t really watch Leno, I was always more of a Letterman guy. Periodically I’ll watch Conan, if I’m flipping around.
@@johantrenier1685 Yeah I hear you. I remember the days going to work sleepy cuz I stayed up too late watching late night. Retired now, but still won't watch them; too boring to hear the constant bashing of the president!! He'll laugh last!!
I saw him in Las Vegas when I was in my early 20s in the early 80s, I knew who he was but didn’t know what to expect. I laughed the entire time my face hurt. He was the best miss those days.
I do the same thing. I think its an anxiety thing idk for me it was ADHD and anxiety from that as a kid. Lol. After dealing with those issues were delt with it stuck. He cant sit still lol. RIP Rod.
The joke I'll always remember. 'I grew up in a tough neighborhood. The neighborhood was so tough that when the high school football team tackled the opposing team's quarterback, they not only sacked him, they broke into his apartment and stole his television.'
Was this guy one of the best comedians of all time? I mean, very few people could go from one joke to another and another so effortlessly. Astounds me.
@@poorthing No, Ann. I disagree 100%. Its a WONDERFUL WORLD. Mankind is at a technological peak. Medicine and agriculture have taken massive strides. And you apparently have internet! lol... there are a million good things in this world. Now... if you are talking about the lens that the wicked media wants you to see? Yes. That is bleak. BY DESIGN. The media NEED you to be constantly afraid. They need you believe a few idiot rioters are going to plunge the US into a Race war. That a super flu is so intelligent that it can selectively choose to infect people at a rival's political rally and yet IGNORE allied protesters in pulling down statues. That the world economy is on fire. The chinese/russians/christians are about to destroy it all. Step back, Ann. Take a breath. And remember what Rodney said: "Never take life too seriously... youll never get out of it alive.." I know we dont know each other.. but I just wanted to say that it will get better. ❤
@@jamesconkey1480 oh my James! I'm fine, but thanks for the pep talk. Plenty of ugly in the world, its always been so but plenty of beauty, makes one appreciate it more. Sometimes we just need to look closer.
Carson was the best straight man, ever. Always making the guest be the best they could be. I believe that was his greatest strength, and appeal, and the reason he was so beloved.
I don't think he ever complained about that, except when Bob Hope wanted to totally dictate the dialogue and Carson steamed over it... hated working with Bob.
George Burns i hear was around same graciousness level as a host. We just don’t have much of their caliber of showmanship anymore. Perhaps history will do us a solid and repeat this stuff for us.
Johnny was fantastic. He knew about timing,set up,comedic straight man lines, etc. Carnac was written by the show writers but he played the part perfect. You are missed Mr. Carson!-
I would watch Rodney Dangerfield on Ed Sullivan and Johnny Carson and I took him for granted. What a great comic he was. It took me all these years now to look back and appreciate him. And not one foul word out of his mouth. Golden years of comedy long gone.
When I was a kid I got kidnapped. They cut off one of my ears and sent it with a ransom note to my parents. My father replied 'we're gonna need more proof'
He was the best and nobody else was even close to the sheer number of jokes. He averaged one every 10 seconds. How he remembered them all I’ll never know. 😊
"I came home and saw a man running naked down the street. I said "Mister, why are you running naked?" He said "Because YOU came home early!!!" -Rodney Dangerfield
What does your race have to do with it? Why do you feel that you must include your skin color to make your point? Have you ever asked yourself why that matters so much to you? One group of people is told, skin color doesn't matter, and another group of people is told that skin color is all you have. So which is it? Because you can't have it both ways. One cannot be the oppressed AND the oppressor at the same time.
