Rita Rudner at Dangerfield’s (1984) 

I have always liked her delicate and disarming manner with the edgy punchlines. One of my favorites was when she was sitting on the couch talking to the Tonight Show host (I think Carson, but maybe it was Leno) and she had recently gotten married and said, "We're thinking about having a child ... or maybe just getting a dog. it depends on whether we want to ruin our carpets or ruin our lives."

The young Rita Rudner is unbelievably cute 😍🤩

I remember when it first aired. STILL funny after all these years!

So many of those young comedians Rodney had on stage bitd were absolutely hilarious. I rolled when I first saw Rita and it was this bit. Also Sam, Bob Nelson, Roseanne, Bob Saget. He seemed to have an eye for talent and gave a lot of young comics a boost during his career.

She is so hilariously funny. A classy funny woman that still makes me laugh every time. She is timeless and still beautiful. She goes way back.

Has been a long time since I saw her act. Lovely lady and fun comedy. No politics, anger or foul language.

Loving this. I had forgotten how cute she was. And genuinely funny. Thanks for posting.

This was great seeing Rodney intro Rita! Rita has been one of my favorite comics since 'back in the day'. She's still funny. And easy on the eyes! 👍

Perfect timing great material unique delivery. Hilarious stand-up.

Always loved Rita, ever since I first saw this when I was just a kid.

You go girl! Beautiful and funny!

Rita was one of the best!

Love Rita Rudner. You don't see her nearly enough.

so smooth, she does if effortlessly.........

I had not heard of her before but she was fabulous.

She's still stunningly beautiful.

Beautifully crafted humor. She's a gem.

Rita Rudner was always on point. I've never seen her bomb or look ruffled.

She is absolutely great, and I love her hairstyle.

I was 21 on this classic night ! HBO SPECIALS were great ! Rodney and ALL these now classic comics , LOVE IT !!

Still Funny to this day!!

I am so thankful that my late daddy introduced me to this gem so long ago💎

Classy lady. Beautiful, intelligent, funny without swearing. An example to today’s rubbish.

I love her delivery!

Classic material

She always used to be on the Tonight Show and crack Carson up..Always pretty funny..

Unequivocally the best new comics special of all time! I hadn't heard of any comics when this aired and they all became superstars.

I had forgotten about Rita. Sooooooo Funny .

I have always like Rita Rudner. You don't see enough of her

Saw her live in the late 80s. She was great live too!

What a unique style

She is so lovely.

Utterly brilliant. With the very best always to all the great comics from this grateful bear

She's great!

_”Rita Rudner funny…..really!? Omg, thank you 😊”_

"Mixed-up doubles!"😄

Haven't seen her since I was a kid. I forgot about her until now. Whierd.

Rita is a verry funny person. She makes it fun to laugh at ourselves. Where have all the flowers gon?

What a wonderful woman.

always hilarious

Rita! I miss her!

She is so funny

♡ from Philippines 2019!

Very good thank you

Classy lady. Great jokes no cussing yet very funny. I wish there were more comedians like her today.

She is amazing

Great delivery.

The fact I haven't heard of her until watching Dr Katz is unbelievable

Rita: Men reach their "SEXUAL PEAK", at 18. While Women, *reach their "SEXUAL PEAK", at 35!* "Which leads me to believe, that *'God', is into PRACTICAL JOKES!* "Women start to become *sexually adventurous,* about the *same time that Men, find themselves, a COMFORTABLE CHAIR!"* Absolutely, *TRUE, & HILARIOUS!*

I think you've aged really gracefully 💖

haha that was funny!

Beats Amy Schumer 100-0

Men and bathrooms: *"If they hit something, they're happy!"* Well guys, *"the jig is UP! She's onto us!*

Wow! If Rita proposed to me like that I would have been all over that.

Class

Funny!

Bears with furniture...☠️☠️☠️

She is halarious ohh my goodness

Rita - A breath of fresh air amid the verbal, vile stench of most comics - male or female... she isn't nasty about anything in her act - no obscene /dirty language , presents herself nice , not hostile or political...and not dressed like a slut. Plus she is easy on the eyes - A Thinking Person's comedienne - with veiled positive meanings to her comedy material ..not mean - spirited or cruel , spiteful jabs at one's religious preference, sexual preference or serious issues that can cause death like domestic violence - she knows where to draw the line(A.I.D.S. alleged 'jokes' , etcetera) The whole family can listen and enjoy her comedy and It's SO refreshing - and she speaks well , can verbally understand her(some comics go too fast or mumble , can't understand what they say sometimes). And all contained in a Pretty Package ...All Hail The Queen🔱🏆📣🎶🎺👍😃😅🤓😍😍😍 - Rita Rudner 👸🌟❤💟💞💕💘🏆👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✨- The Smartest , Funniest , Most Vivacious & Most Sparkling💎✨💎✨👸💟 and Refreshing Spring Breeze🌬🌫 Of Comedy❗😃😊😄😄😅😍❤👍✌🙂💘💘💘🍀🍀🍀

damn she is really funny!

The other American female comediennes don't come near her. She's beautiful, clean, quick, intelligent, funny, ...every appearance is a masterclass.

Very funny woman

35 yrs later Rita's humor still resounds because it's real: not "FAKE". Where is this funny girl now? Unlike Ellen she can't be promoted because of her hetro lifestyle that reflects the "old school " mentality that most folks are straight , which apparently is not politically correct. So grateful for these videos. Rodney's Place and Dangerfields were venues of freedom and respect ; long gone and sorely missed.

First!!!! Love Rodney!!

Hi STOPIN by. Warm weather areas. Check-in in. Bests and bests to studio , computein. @ And staff and departments. Great day

Finally, a FUNNY female comedian!

Hot AF!!! AWESOME SHOW She is so damn funny.

I used to get Rita Rudner confused with Rita Wilson (the way they look & talk.) Anyone else?

Good thing I never dated her back then. How she got rid of a man would've backfired big time! I'd have married her in a heartbeat.

In my cave now….2021

Hi

Show this to someone if they say women can't be funny

Do you know the difference between a government bond and a man? The bond matures.

Seems like stand up comedy is mostly a guy thing, but women always bring a hilarious new viewpoint.

She sounds like the stewardess on Airplane

RITA : "I know nothing about cars ! People used to ask me about what kind of car I drove. I would answer, " A WHITE ONE !!"

very funny, she reminds me of the girl in Airplane, dippy, but also a bit tasty

This is lovely... and before she locked down her wide-eyed dead pan ..

oh gawd. she is so right. I worry so much what my husband will devolve into when I die. (We're old, I have a lot of health problems) At least I got him out of the gigantic house we raised our children in. But I shudder to think what a hovel this retirement cottage and tiny yard will become. He'll drink most of his meals, and subsist on frozen dinners. He'll never change the sheets or wash the towels. I wonder if Rita Rudner is married?

Rita and Rodney, always great, Disney commercial, always sucks.

Man, current day stand up comedians 😷🤢🤮. I wish Rita trains some ppl for next few generations like her.

Dont like her humour..its starts it ends. I prefer a story, a continuation. Hers r kinda lame & boring. How did she last for 4 decades?

She was probably funny for the time but definitely wouldn't hold up today she's church funny that's about it

Hi
