IF SO, CHECK YOUR PULSE!

OMG there will never EVER be a stand-up to match the late great Rodney Dangerfield.

1. I don't think he's the greatest of ALL time, but Rodney was good.
He had a style all his own, and he could nail one joke after another.

9. It's all about timing & personality
Nobody could have told the same jokes as well.

3. He was ok. I heard him so many years ago, I probably saw that
one when it was originally on tv.
His humor is all based on himself. At his expense. Humor is always at someones expense.
The more humorous aspect of Don Rickles was that he always did his humor at your expense. He could get you to laugh at yourself.

5. My favorite Dangerfield line...
I tried to tell my kid about the birds and the bees. He told me about my wife and the butcher.

7. There will never be another Rodney
Somewhat campy, predictable, and STILL hilarious!

RIP Rodney.

8. Like Fred Astaire, Rodney only made it LOOK easy...
But he had the timing of great musician or dancer -- somebody else telling those corny jokes they would just be corny jokes, with him it was an art form.

OMG did you see the youtube of that POS Joe The Plumber attempting standup?? Oh, agon-eeee!!!
