A Video Tribute to Comedian Rodney Dangerfield, Always the Funniest Guy in the Room
December 27, 2007 at 03:44AM This video is for everyone who never had the pleasure of seeing Rodney Dangerfield doing standup comedy. Actually, this video is also for those who already love Rodney, who left behind some classic jokes and millions of fans when he died in 2004.
Here are a few of Rodney's best one-liners:
I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me.
I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.
I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.
I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.
I'm taking Viagra and drinking prune juice - I don't know if I'm coming or going. My mother never breast fed me, she told me she only liked me as a friend.
Feel free to chime in with any Rodney jokes, stories or recollections. It's all Rodney, all the time, at least for now!

OMG, Rodney is FUNNY! He was hilarious in Back to School but I never saw him on stage before. Rodney's jokes are bad to the bone.
What a pro he is. As one in the comedy business, you must think of him as icon.
Amy781,
Loved Back to School! Watch it every few years. Perfect role for Rodney.
Jimmy Walker,
Rodney Dangerfield is The Man. He's definitely an inspiration for young comics.
That was a great video! Thanks for pointing it out. It is however the reason I was stuck on YouTube for hours on Saturday though. Once I get started, it's hard to stop. I laughed so hard my face hurt. :)

P.S. Please don't hate me and stop following me, but I, umm, tagged you over on my blog to participate in a meme. http://www.singlewahm.com/blog/2008/01/08/7-weird-things-about-me/ for details. :)
Great post! Love this guy, his joke writing and delivery is unique! He's an inspiration. Tks for sharing the laughs. Saludos!
You are correct! Rodney was a true original. I love watching this video and Back to School or Caddyshack every so often just to remember how good he was.
