Rodney Dangerfield Steals the Show at the Oscars (1987) 

Also: Legend should've won.

he was the best

he straightened his tie as if to say "oh I got this" and torched it. there will never be an equal!

It’s planned hahaha

​@@mr80s83one of them

"Call me, when you have no class".

Self depreciating humor; I've never heard of any other comedian that did it incessantly like Rodney.

He was the best. Great in movies too. Miss him.

Really good, I laugh at this comic every time, thanks Rodney, you made this ol world better, you have my respect,,,

More than merely an American original, a galactic original. Sui generis. Comic genius.

So true, Quinney, so true.

He did more cocaine than we'll ever know.

The utmost... listen to the story of his last days in the hospital, about all the great comedians who came to try and laugh him back to consciousness... it’s a tough documentary to watch, but, in the end, truly inspiring!!

@@c.s.mcleod7383 Ahh the 'Throwin' Shade (Punk) Police'. There is always one nobody who is unable to let someone give a positive comment.

Get his movies. I've got them all. Ripped them to hard drive. Instant gratification. "Easy Money" with Joe Pesci is probably my favorite. Nobody can milk a scene like Dangerfield. He rides that horse into the ground. Squeezes that lemon dry.

I do the same.

@user-nc7cf4sp1r one of my all time favorites !

I wonder if it was Carson.

@@photog1529 Johnny knew exactly how to play off of Rodney's character. They were perfect together.

Another commenter said it was James Woods.

@@Icemario87 It sounded like Woods' voice.

I think he always did that, I saw another one in which someone asked "how fat"

he was the best

I so agree

Will, I always replay his different videos here on You Tube. Still funny every time I hear them.

He added a tail. Coffee ejection from nostrils! So true he would have owned it.

He would have stolen the entire show.

yeah some comedians are funny😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HaztZv67evs.html

Not sure there was enuff cocaine in California at the time

Rodney was too good for the Oscars. They're a bunch of union member, pretentious Hollywood snobs and they vote with an agenda. Rodney had more class and talent than all of them

He was certainly one of a kind.. super funny. He was great in Caddyshack as well.

No he didnt, he had joke writers too

@@bobabooey285 I have seen his interviews when he said I stay up late sometimes to come up with new material.

@@user-cr5vc6xq3b pay no mind to bobby baloney, your correct, he wrote his own material.

I have mice.... And I can relate 😂

Yes. He absolutely stole the show in Caddyshack, then did very well with Easy Money, and knocked it out of the park with Back To School.

Back in the day, a good comic was the one who could throw a joke every 10-12 seconds. Rodney did it way faster 😂

He was trained by the old masters. But many of these jokes were his old ones he had been using for 20 years.

@@Mxyzptlksac Timeless stuff! I think most great comedians keep files of great material and recycle it at appropriate times.

Joke machine is right!

@@vinnievalentine421 Yes!!

Sadly, with some people trying to destroy the history of the U.S., hopefully in the future you could still find it in a site such as this ! Just as a young person may have never had the chance to learn of Rodney, without RU-vid ! 👍😉

Check out Don rickels

@@monkeykidd420 Don rickles is amazing, been watching him for around 7 months

You don't know how lucky you are to be seeing this for the first time ...enjoy!!!

NO one delivered one liners like Rodney. No one.

@@carlspackler91 Maybe Henny Youngman

I appreciate your appreciation, but like certain food, some food is the best to some, while other food is the best to others. All the greats are great!

My favorite also. Gotta put Rickles in the conversation.

@@carlspackler91 Possibly Groucho Marx.

Look at the class!!! It has dignity. It had honor. It had prestige. It had respect. It had self-respect. RIP

@@southsideman4891 It had a hooker dressed like Jane Fonda!

I'm sure the uglier ladies in the audience took offense.

Excellent point.

I'll 2nd this !!! ThaNK YUO

@@BRUTUSPLAC 3rd

Jeff Eppenger He wears torn shorts.

@@cpt.flippybirds9015 hehe I'm surprised he wears any at all 😜

5 th, Ya gotta love Rodney.

Brilliant

I laughed the most at that simple little joke.

I laughed out loud at that!

Not to take anything away from Rodney .... but he was a meticulous craftsman, nothing ad libbed about his act ... each joke was very carefully worded and delivered with just the right emphasis. He was a Rembrandt of comedy, painting just the right picture to get the biggest laugh possible with every line.

You're right. RIP Rodney.

@@shermanpullum1834 l

Yep, it's all left wing political speeches from a bunch of rich, sheltered people who don't even live the same practices they preach.

Awe poor baby times change and you didn’t.

@@Mxyzptlksac Well, according to the wise old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

"She went to the plastic surgeon & the doctor put a tail on her....she was so ugly."

How about "the marriage counselor said we should communicate", so she'd call me from the motel."

“ I called the girl I went out with last night and she said come on over there’s nobody home. I came over and nobody was home.”

L

"I fell asleep on the bed with a cigarette in my hand, my wife lit it"

Brilliant

That's one of my favorite of his jokes.

My wife is a selfish lover. when we have sex she calls out her own name. I went to the Doctor - he said i had 3 months to live. I told him i wanted a second opinion. He said well you're ugly too. Thank you and RIP Mr. Dangerfield - you were the best and always had my respect.

She gives great head-ache!

Thanks to Anderson paak and j Cole. I found this great comic

Well...him and Groucho. I would give the nod to Groucho to be honest- as much as I love Rodney(I gotta show him his "no respect", don't I?).

@@THE-HammerMan Well I have forgotten about the Marx brothers but they had done as well as the Howard boys who were screwed worse than anybody from the business for the amount of fantastic memories they put out

@@grandwaha True...but one liners and lightening quick wit wasn't their forté. Imho, that would be Groucho, Rodney and Robin...in that order. Today's PC humor and comedians are terribly ill! ..."Calling Dr's. Howard, Fine and Howard!"

Agreed,

Good old days, Don Rickels was great too.

...I have to second that. Rodney was the best. Charismatic, witty, intelligent, funny, ..etc. All in one. So glad I got piece of his comedy generation.

I do to Ben Rodney was the best

Yep...not going to find many like him anymore. I loved him in caddyshack and back to school and easy money.

Slick Mic same

Especially since he hit rock bottom and had to build himself back up to being one of the best ever. So he was also one of the most admirable Comics out there.

If not the best (Robin Williams comes to mind) but certainly the most Loved.

He was the best at 1 liners, I get the impression he may have influenced Mitch Hedberg.

I Agree Slick!

But Why?🤔

NOT PC!.

They're jokes people.. relax..jeeeze

Not a riot, but the political left here in America would destroy his career and make sure he never worked as a comedian ever again.

NOPE !🙄

Comment got me wondering.....This is located is same as where Marilyn ? We used to cut thru on way to JR high

@@uhya-sure8280 correct, same place.

@@richardarens2070 Place has some real talent thats checked in... You're frm area?

@@uhya-sure8280 Could you please reply in an actual English sentence?

@@richardarens2070 Oh come on old timer….I believe you’re shaper than that. Think man…..cemetery as a place to check in. Talent as in actors. Cemetery has several entertainers

She was very attractive in an interesting way.

@@JCSuperstar777 I think she was prettiest in Housesitter with Steve Martin. I think it came out right around that time.

RyanKC - she could introduce me with that voice anytime!

She was hot

@@bradleymayse "Housesitter" was released in June 1992. Saw it at an advanced screening 2 wks prior to its release. But, yes: Goldie was rather fetching in that film

Until the feminists ruined everyone's lives

@@vinnievalentine421 fuck them

You mean they weren't always just famous for having rich parents and an IG account?

I'm talking about an ugly girl here, you know what I mean? Last night I gave her a hickey, I got fur in my mouth. I took her to my house, my parents put newspapers on the floor.

@@vinnievalentine421 That makes absolutely no sense.

Too bad in his last decade, he got filthy and unbecoming of his legend. :(

⁠@@LayneStaley-zl2iq I don’t remember seeing any of Dangerfield’s filthy routines, where did you see them?

Real comedy takes talent to create and the best stuff is STILL funny without being vulgar. In my opinion…

just a troll@@greyberet1

So true

I tell you, I'm alright now, but last week I was in rough shape... My mother never breast fed me. She told me she liked me as a friend... I met this hot sexy woman the other day. She told me to come on over that night; nobody will be home, she said. So I went over; there was nobody home! LOL!

He killed in everything he touched in the 1980s. Even in an ensemble piece like Caddyshack he stood out from the rest.

Caddyshack, yes, Back to School probably not. Caddyshack was his first film and nobody knew if he could act, so he only got $35K while he probably would have made $50K doing stand-up. He was the primary writer as well as actor on Back to School and probably got a nice payday along with residuals on a movie that made $100M+.

@chief tp I'M NO DOORKNOB EITHER !!

Caddyshack was his first film ever, his first time not in front of a live crowd. He was just finding his legs, and he still killed it.

The dance scene of old people at the clubhouse: "The dance of the living dead!"

"When she walks into a room, mice jump on chairs."

That was a $$$$ line! LOL

what's brilliant is that guy in the audience was unexpected, but it just fueled rodney to give his best stuff haha

What point was it on?

Rodney’s face expressions bulging eyes,Enjoyed him in Caddy shack

Was he a nice guy in person...?

@@jhmorris3486 oh yeah. Called me "kiddo".

Does he not look like a nice guy?! Did u see him tear up each time he made people laugh?! You imbisol

@@vinnievalentine421 "You imbisol" Get back to us when you identify the irony.

And truthful. I went to a Christmas dance in High school, where we all wore rented tuxedos. The guy across the street from me, a big guy ( not fat ) at the time, ripped the whole butt out of his. Had to go home, and change. He was very embarrassed, and at that dance, he shouldn't have been. Don't know if the girl ever went out with him again.

Erik Hertzer

Nah, instead it's a bunch of horseshit political rants by UBER rich people who have no clue how the real world works.

@@CornPopWazABadDude You just described Trump

@@anthonycampos8057 except, he employed 35K Americans and tens of thousands of people around the rest of the world at the time of his election, so... He has a very good idea of how the world works. He also had unemployment for all races in the country at all the time lows prior to COVID19. He gets it... Much more than rich celebrity's who got rich from being actors or musicians. Its amazing that I'm having to explain this to somebody, yet here I am.

@@CornPopWazABadDude yeah thats why world leaders were caught on video laughing at him. And how about the millions of people currently unemployed? I like how you dont mention that. Or the 170000+ Americans that are DEAD.

@@anthonycampos8057 you got to be stupid af... Bring up unemployment during a pandemic 😂😂😂. 👏👏👏 Slow claps for you, holy shit... Speaking of which, unemployment is dropping at an all time rate again as well. A few more months and we'll be right back to where we were. Unless Biden wins in November, then you'll see us nosedive into a depression as he raises taxes by 4T dollars and jobs get shipped overseas. Where were you talking about unemployment before the pandemic when Trump had it at all time lows for our country? Amazing how liberals just conveniently never talked about it then. When 3M ppl were off foodstamps and stock markets at all time highs? Not suprising though, liberals typically have no clue how the world works.

A legend...I miss him.

That's because all of the losers that go up there now feel like they need to have their voices heard. If they only knew we don't give a fuck.

@@chargerfan2 Isn’t that the truth

@@chargerfan2 Of course not, you're a racist piece ofvtrash.

@@edmahonejr.9364 That you're a racist? No doubt.

keep the oscars name out your fucking mouf

... He's making sure Hillary isn't trying to suicide him😂

His wife would have said they broke the mold before they made Rodney, but that's just her opinion.

@@williamkerr2121 underrated comment lol

@Ronald McReynolds That is likely the case!!!

You wish indeed. Rodney was good - great? - for 5 or 10 mins tops. He never accepted or sought to host anything because he knew was unable to pull it off. And nobody would have wanted him that long. Short and sweet was his specialty.

@@richardscott8503 Nonsense, he was a headliner in Vegas. He can hold his own for as long as he plans to.

@@Icemario87 guys like Rodney could read the yellow pages out loud and you'd laugh. Miss him

@@richardscott8503 step away from the crack pipe.

Stfu

He never gets no respect!

Hi Patrick. Very neat, a great experience.

Good clean comedy no cuss words nothing vulgar

I was once yelled at by an old man at a comedy show, for laughing too hard. While this old P. O. S. Didn't laugh the entire time, idk why those nut jobs even go to comedy shows if they don't have a sense of humor. Americans, a sad race

That's a good one ...what is great about rodney was that about 50% of his jokes were funny ..but he had so many jokes ..made for allotta laughter..he was a machine

Rodney: "My wife is such a bad cook, the flies leave the house"! "My wife's cooking is so bad, the roaches head for the roach motels"! Lol!

""Wanna see something dumb, stupid and funny all in one batch???... Look at a porn flick while on rewind and watch the hooker give back the money""!... His "delivery" of his jokes was far better than anyone's !😂😂😂😂

Brent Dallyn 😂😂😂😂 brilliant

Some deep thinking comedy 😂😂
