One thing you miss listening to a collection of jokes like this is watching Rodney work the crowd. I saw him live in concert back in the early 1980s, and he was amazing. Once he had the crowd going, and had found a theme they responded to, he would reel often a dozen quick jokes on the same theme and would have everyone laughing so hard they could barely breath. When somebody in the audience tried to heckle him, he just assaulted them with hilarious one-liners that quickly shut them down. I've never seen anyone, except maybe Robin Williams, who could delight a live audience like Dangerfield did.
Rodney was a riot in Caddyshack. It was one of his first movies and he thought he wasn't being funny and wanted to quit. The director asked him why and he said that nobody was laughing at his jokes and ad-libs. The director told him that was how movies were made. Everyone is trained to be silent so they can capture all the sound on the set and begged Rodney not to quit. So Rodney stayed and was the funniest guy in the movie.
Other Rodney Dangerfield movies that were also great were Back to School, Easy Money, and Lady Bugs. He was just so talented, and very enjoyable to watch.
Doctor Vinny Boombatz was a staple of Rodney's comedy. So much so that in the early 1980's he did a skit with it on some show where the late great Andy Kaufman played the doctor.
I treasure the fact that I grew up watching all the old school legendary comedians from the 1960s on. Between variety and music shows, talk shows (especially the legendary Johnny Carson), and eventually early days of cable with HBO, the dawning of sketch comedy with Python, SNL and Second City, etc, we had it so good. And the 70s through the 90s was really the peak of live Stand Up Conedy at clubs. Saw Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Norm McDonald, Jeff Altman (vastly underrated and hilarious) and more in small clubs.
My Dad was a huge fan of Rodney's and got tickets for himself, Mom, my brother, and myself in around 1979 to see Rodney live and he definitely did not disappoint. He was great!! Glad I got to see him live!! RIP Rodney and Dad
He is an example of a vaudevillian "gag comic", rapid fire one-liners that became characteristic of the resorts in the Catskills. Story humor didn't become popular until people like Lenny Bruce, George Carlin and Richard Pryor.
Yep. These types of comedians would often work in Burlesque shows in between dance routines by the strippers. They had to have rapid fire one liners to get jokes in. No time for long stories. A lost period now in entertainment the youngsters won't really understand.
Love him!! I was shooting the dice at a Vegas craps table he joined! Never forget it.. not just that, his humor, how he says, what he said has been inimitable! And his woman with him, had to be 40 years younger, she was gorgeous!
🤗😁 He actually had a good long term relationship with his wife. She said he was a Romeo . I looked up information on his wife and their relationship after seeing him on The tonight show with Johnny Carson. From listening to her the wife jokes were the opposite of their relationship. ❤
The day Rodney died, his widow went to his joke a day website. The joke was, "I went to the Cemetery to buy a plot. The guy said, 'There goes the neighborhood." That punchline became his epitaph. He's buried next to Farrah Fawcett.
He is a true, natural comedian. He has that perfect delivery and timing. That joke about the sweet and lows, well, when people go to coffee shops and pay stupid amounts of money, people will take huge handsful of sweet and lows and other sweetners, like it makes up for it
@@timcarr6401Either that or they're "on a diet." I hate artificial sweeteners, and Sweet n Low is saccharine which is the worst. If I couldn't have real sugar, I'd rather go without sweetener altogether.
Some of my favourite Rodney Dangerfield jokes: - "My psychiatrist told me I was crazy. I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too." - "I’ve never been lucky. The day my ship came in, I was at the airport." - "A girl phoned me the other day and said, ‘Come on over. There’s nobody home.’ I went over. Nobody was home." - "Last week I saw my doctor. I said: "Doc, every day I wake up, I look in the mirror, I wanna throw up. What's wrong with me?" He said: "I don't know, but your eyesight is perfect." This one I couldn't find anywhere online, but I could swear I heard him tell it once. I'm paraphrasing: - "I'm ugly. Are you kidding? I know I'm ugly. All the time people would tell me I looked like a horse. One time I fell and sprained my knee, so I went to see my doctor. I said: 'Doc, my leg hurts.' He shot me!"
Loved Rodney. You must check out George Carlin. He was amazing, funny & insightful. I can't imagine what he'd be saying today. RIP RODNEY & GEORGE.🙏🕊️✌️🌻🌻
Great Review Sam and Phil. Rodneywas one of a kind comic they called him - KING OF THE ONE LINES, and we can see that about his character and personality. Best Wishes Guys for great review.❤
If you look at his interviews, for example Johnny Carsen, Rodney just takes over. Starts telling jokes and one liners and the interview goes out the window. Genius!!! One of a kind.
Did you know Rodney had a music video? "Rappin' Rodney". You guys should check that out... since you do both music and comedy, that mixes the two together.
I would suggest you two do a dig into his life. I've adored him my whole life, but only in recent years learned about him. To say that his comedy was borne of tragedy, it incredibly true. Reading some of what he went through as a child is insanely cruel, the fact that he found comedy out of it, succeeded as he did, and gave back to so many others is amazing.
I'm 66 yo and Rodney was great back in the day! With all the BS people we have today they would have cancelled this great guy! Man I miss the old days when you could laugh !
Rodney's most iconic part of his comedy is I get no respect, no respect at all. There's other comedians that talk about their life in their comedy. Jeff Foxworthy,Bill Engval,Ron White and Larry the cable guy.
He said he's so old, when he went to Mexico, he "got the walks". That's because people say when you go to Mexico, dont drink the water, because it'll give you "the runs" (diarrhea)), but he's so old he can only get "the walks" .
One of the classics......a lot of those were from The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson. His doctor jokes were well established, so they were cheers of recognition.
I saw Rodney in Las Vegas back in the early 1980's. It was literally side-splitting. One joke after another in his fidgety, sweaty character. And he was very interactive with the audience. One I'll never forget was he came up to this couple at a table who were smoking. He says, "Hey, can I bum a cigarette?" They gave him one. He continued, "You know how it is; I left mine in the machine."
A classic female comedian you need to check out is Phyllis Diller. Like Rodney with his doctor, she had running gags about her husband Fang. And just like Rodney's doctor, Fang is imaginary. The crowd went wild when Rodney mentioned Dr. Vinny because they are fans and love hearing the jokes about his doctor
Rodney did a thing in his live shows that he never did on TV, and I only know it from a video tape. He would ask the audience to give him an "okay" sign at the end if they liked the show. Then he would riff on how he didn't really deserve an okay sign. But that was how you could tell hardcore fans at his performances, they would throw him an okay sign at the end.
He was brilliant in the movie "Caddyshack." I've been watching this guy for almost 60 years including many interviews. In those interviews, I've seen him out of character only once. In that interview, the interviewer asked him if he was naturally funny. He said, "It might seem like that, but actually a lot of thought goes into the lines." It was really weird seeing him not playing his character.
It's so ironic that a guy that made his living saying he got no respect was beloved by so many people! What you might not realize is how original his humor was. If it's sounds familiar today it's because comedians have been copying him for 50 years! But the original is still the greatest and Rodney will never be equalled.
Thanks you two, love watching your reactions and look forward to your next videos. There's an old TV game show called Hollywood Squares and in the center Square was a comedian named Paul Lynde. You should watch and do a reaction the best of Paul Lynde on Hollywood Squares I really think you'd love it
One of my favorites that's missing from this list: ''I called my dentist and told him my teeth were turning yellow. He told me to wear a brown necktie.'' 🤣
His Doc was a fictional character that Rodney brought up all the time. Dr Vinny Boombatz was a fan fav for sure.😁 Do you guys have a movie channel? With or without one, Rodney's movies are great too. Not just one-liners either - he does some very good acting, all comedy as far as I can remember. Caddy Shack is a star-studded comedy from 1980, I think, and it is hilarious imo. Easy Money with Joe Pesci is my next fav from him - again, nonstop laughter. Check em out regardless of channel. Watching at least 3 movies of his has to be added to your bucket lists, AY! Hahha, I watched your vid on national stereotypes the other day. I was laughing.
There's very few modern comedians doing rapid one liners today. Tim Vine is a great modern one-liner comedian to check out. Different style, more 'dad jokes' but they keep on coming, and they're hilarious.
Something many people miss in watching Caddyshack: Rodneys' character is the owner of the construction company that's working on the construction site where the groundskeeper thinks the gophers are coming from.
For a person that claimed he got no respect...he sure did. RIP the great one Rodney!
I've heard these jokes thousands of times thru the years, and they still quack me up!!!!! He's the GOAT of 1 liners!!!!

Drinking the water in Mexico can give you "the runs" they say. Rodney was so old he got the "walks"! LOL Glad you are enjoying Rodney.
No one ever seems to get that for some reason?!
@@davidintel Yeah, they don't get the joke or the runs
they also said Mexico was safe the other day.... lol
I always wanted to know what he was talking about. Now I understand it, it's funny as crap.😂
Rodney was a riot in Caddyshack. It was one of his first movies and he thought he wasn't being funny and wanted to quit.

Very true he made that show
Other Rodney Dangerfield movies that were also great were Back to School, Easy Money, and Lady Bugs. He was just so talented, and very enjoyable to watch.
Harold Ramis was his Caddyshack director and one of Rodney's co-writers on Back To School
Every scene with Rodney in Caddy Shack was a gem. You can watch it a dozen times and still find something new.
King of the one-liners
Love Rodney in movies. He is amazing in Caddyshack, Back to School, and other movies. Worth a watch.
Back to school is one of my favorite movies ever because of him.
Caddyshack ❤
Easy Money!
The scene with him and Sam Kinison in Back to School is legendary
Back To School is a great fun movie!
I been hearing these jokes 50 years. Still laughing
Doctor Vinny Boombatz was a staple of Rodney's comedy. So much so that in the early 1980's he did a skit with it on some show where the late great Andy Kaufman played the doctor.

And the thing with Rodney's jokes is you can hear them over and over and still laugh. They never get old.
My Dad was a huge fan of Rodney's and got tickets for himself, Mom, my brother, and myself in around 1979 to see Rodney live and he definitely did not disappoint. He was great!! Glad I got to see him live!! RIP Rodney and Dad
Absolutely hilarious
"Back to School" is a must-see! Where else can you see a father tell his son that his best friend looks like a poster boy for birth control??😁
Plenty of great ones in that movie ...
'Now that's what I call Marine Biology!' ;0)
(With the babes in the hot tub)
once again the old time comedians prove u don't have to be completely filthy to be funny, these guys were legends
Or cuss thru out their entire monologue...
Rodney is the GOAT 🐐

Take my wife. Please!

That joke about the sweet and lows, well, when people go to coffee shops and pay stupid amounts of money, people will take huge handsful of sweet and lows and other sweetners, like it makes up for it
Some people have to be diabetic if they take 'packages' of Sweet & Low.
@@timcarr6401Either that or they're "on a diet."
I hate artificial sweeteners, and Sweet n Low is saccharine which is the worst. If I couldn't have real sugar, I'd rather go without sweetener altogether.
Rodney is a classic comedian and his movies are just as great. Easy money, caddy shack, back to school. All classics. Great pick to react to.
Great program you folks put together! There will never be another Rodney style comedian. Often imitated, never duplicated. Aloha from Hawaii.
Some of my favourite Rodney Dangerfield jokes:
- "My psychiatrist told me I was crazy. I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too."

You're delivery sucks.
Rodney was hilarious!
I hope you guys do more comedians and funny things. You've both got a great laugh and it's so fun to watch you enjoy it.
Loved Rodney. You must check out George Carlin. He was amazing, funny & insightful. I can't imagine what he'd be saying today. RIP RODNEY & GEORGE.🙏🕊️✌️🌻🌻
He was the first live comedy show I’d ever seen. I remember laughing so hard I thought I busted a rib.
He had a bit about his name that was amazing.
Rodney's tombstone reads "There goes the neighborhood" 😁
Check out Rodney in "Caddyshack".....a very funny movie.
I always loved this guy. One of the few comedians who have that 'mafia swag'. A very unique, distinctive comic.
Rodney is one of my favorites! I especially love the jokes about his wife . . .
Great Review Sam and Phil. Rodneywas one of a kind comic they called him - KING OF THE ONE LINES, and we can see that about his character and personality. Best Wishes Guys for great review.❤
Rodney Dangerfield was the king of one liners
Rodney was an American classic. I was lucky to see him in person once. I never stopped laughing 😅🤣
Would love to see this type of comedy now a days. It would feel fresh.
If you look at his interviews, for example Johnny Carsen, Rodney just takes over. Starts telling jokes and one liners and the interview goes out the window. Genius!!! One of a kind.
My favorite movie with Rodney was easy money
Really good point about the delivery. Everything about him contributes. Not only his accent, but his looks too.
Rodney was one of a kind. Great reaction, Sam and Phil!

Rodney. Undisputed world champ of one-liners. IMO.
I enjoy laughing.because I'm going through shit..thanks buddies ❤much love
I love his catchphrase, “I don’t get no respect.” No, good sir, we respect the heck out of ya’!
I'm 66 yo and Rodney was great back in the day! With all the BS people we have today they would have cancelled this great guy! Man I miss the old days when you could laugh !
Rodney Dangerfield was the King of One Liners and sooo funny. He did movies too. A couple other Comic Geniuses - Don Rickles, Joan Rivers.
Rodney was brilliant. I miss him.
Me too. RIP : Mr Rodney
Freaking love Rodney , unique genuinely funny
'Easy money', in my opinion, Rodney's best movie.
Miss him!!!😊
Before Norm McDonald, Rodney was my favorite comedian. He was so dang brilliant. I used to quote him all the time when I was a kid.
The GOAT
Rodney's most iconic part of his comedy is I get no respect, no respect at all. There's other comedians that talk about their life in their comedy. Jeff Foxworthy,Bill Engval,Ron White and Larry the cable guy.
As a comedian...
Rodney gets a lot of respect.
Peace on earth.
Momma The house is on fire! Shut, up! Or, you're wake up daddy!
He said he's so old, when he went to Mexico, he "got the walks". That's because people say when you go to Mexico, dont drink the water, because it'll give you "the runs" (diarrhea)), but he's so old he can only get "the walks" .

Phyllis was my all time favorite. Loved her look & Fang.😂😂
"After he cut the cord, he hung himself!" So dark LOL
You guys _HAVE TO_ do: Rodney Dangerfield, Bob Nelson and an entire football team (1984). _HILARIOUS!!_
I love him so much ❤you bruh😎🙏👌👍
GOAT RIP Rodney ✝️
Rodney is one of my top 5 comedians #1 Patrice O'Neal #2 Don Rickles #3 Rodney Dangerfield #4 Bill Burr #5 Kevin Hart

He didn't do too bad for an aluminum siding salesman.Continued RIP Rodney.Gone but never forgotten!
They just don't make them like him anymore! He was special and one of the greats of all time.

My house was on fire. My wife told our kids to be quiet because you'll wake up your father.
Try some Buddy Hacket !! He's pretty funny old school comedy too!
He was also classic in the movie It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World!
There classic ones and still funny
You should watch Caddy Shack, Back To School and Easy Money.
Henny Youngman and Victor Borge are comedy gold as well.
One of my favorites that's missing from this list: ''I called my dentist and told him my teeth were turning yellow. He told me to wear a brown necktie.'' 🤣

Watch Caddyshack, lol
Rodney had a music video back in the 80s called "Rapping Rodney"
This was great. Thanx. You should check out some Phyllis Diller.😎👍👍
Rodney Dangerfield did a song that was a hit on MTV back in the day called "Rappin Rodney"
You should do a reaction to it. It's a funny song.
I love self depreciating humor...I just wish I was better at it. 🤪
My favorite Dangerfield joke: 'I'm so out of shape, when I die they'll donate my body to science fiction.'
Hopefully one day yall will watch Caddyshack & Back To School ✌💖☮
Yes the “ Triple Lindy” 😂
An era when the comedy was real by comics that were genuine legends
Thank you for your reaction... he was a bit older than Rodney.. but please check out Don Rickles...hilarious, savage and definitely not pc
I think Rodney Dangerfield had a great sense of humor
There's very few modern comedians doing rapid one liners today. Tim Vine is a great modern one-liner comedian to check out. Different style, more 'dad jokes' but they keep on coming, and they're hilarious.
Have you ever seen Foster Brooks? If not, look up the Airline Pilot sketch he did with Dean Martin.
There was another comedian in the ‘60s and ‘70s called Jackie Vernon who had a similar affect. He was very funny, too.
I remember him for his 'deadpan' delivery.
I'll take Jackie Mason.
If you want to see his acting range watch Natural Born Killers. It’s the craziest movie I’ve ever seen.
Something many people miss in watching Caddyshack: Rodneys' character is the owner of the construction company that's working on the construction site where the groundskeeper thinks the gophers are coming from.
The king of one liners that can kick himself.
