I agree, I think the comedians of today lack the education to get a laugh without using foul language.

Same here. Most comedians of today are vulgar at best.

There was a change in the 90's to late 80's as stand-up grew and self imploded. Previously Rodney and Jay Leno were the reigning kings with the classic style of a laugh every 15 sec. The other main style of comedy came from Pryor and Carlin, Carlin being more orthodox, but honesty and confrontation were a major part of their style. Sadly Rodney's style became rare and looked down upon because hacks were associated with it. Most newer comedians were heavily influenced by the later style and with social media being what it is building a library of quick jokes to use on audiences is harder than before and a lot of crowds turn when they hear jokes they heard before. But Rodney was filthy just not on stage, he brought up the filthiest comedians of the 80's, Dice, Kinnison, Hicks. His act was consistent most of his life and didn't succeed until later into his career I think you calling him clean has more to do with what is acceptable to say today vs then . Having jokes about intercourse was taboo let alone your wife cheating on you. Anyways this is long and pointless way to say I agree Rodney is Mount Rushmore of comedians great, but the second half of your statement might have more to do with reminiscing and aging than with facts.

face it ... life is better when lived offline. If you are seeing a comedian for the first time then there is no need to ruin it by seeing them online or ever gong to see them a second time. They will be using the same jokes from the first time the second time you go see them a year later.

Sometimes it pays to see them live. Some comedians cuss and tell more politically incorrect jokes when the're not being recorded for broadcast.

I told my son that he'd have kids of his own one day. He told me "So will you"

you don't happen to be born in the wrong generation do you?

Randyhall85 no need to hurt my feelings :(

Grimble Grumble you're a dumb nerd >:)

Randyhall85 I'm crying right now, just thought I'd let you know.

That's great, I loved Rodney in the 1980s when he absolutely rose to superstardom. I saw Bill Burr in his prime in Detroit in 2013 and almost fell out of my chair into the aisle.

I'm a 64 year old Englishman, only just discovered this man (although his name did ring a distant bell)..I've just watched this and I nearly stopped breathing for laughter. .pure genius - compare this to the PC crap now that tries to pass as talent. ..

+george fish George you have serious issues. Please stay confined to your trailer park.

It does not matter what I am. It's very clear to everyone what you are which is a trailer trash piece of scat.

+george fish You are obviously from this current generation. Arent you. Typical shmo in his basement or bedroom sitting in your underwear thinking your hot shit sitting and clicking and clacking on your keyboard

+Marc S Just end the conversation with this guy. Your talking to a someone with the intelligience of a piece of metal

LOL!! Yep! I was so right! LOL!!! Beam me up Scotty, no intelligient life form found here.

+jamesd2128 That's what it was. Probably had the best comedic timing of his era.

+Stephen O'Brien ...of most eras---

+Stephen O'Brien Best. Timing. Ever.

+jamesd2128 Yes, Rodney was the best. RIP Rodney.

+jamesd2128 Timing... sure. That and writing about 10 million jokes. You will never see a modern comic cram that many jokes into 3-4 minutes of interview. He was a joke machine if there ever was one.

Ask guys like Sandler, Seinfeld, Foxworthy and they’ll tell you he is the model by which all comedians aspire to be.

agree...the best ever. funniest one liners ever

DownSouth Real close between Rodney, Jackie, Lucille, and Richard..... All four have comic genius in their different styles.

@Kula Cnt Go play in the traffic, the 405 works for me...

Then why was he sitting down?

+coyotemojo Couldn't agree more.

+coyotemojo there will be no other comic like him

+coyotemojo Which one?

both there will never be another Dangerfield or Carson

+chuck findlay That's what I meant. Both brilliant

+Chris J One of my favorites! Him on that exercise bicycle in front of the xmas tree, Joe Pesci from back in the day...

+Chris J Takes me back to my early 20s. Hangin' out with my 3 best friends. We saw this in the movie theatre. Billy Joel sang the opening song.

Agreed. non stop laughs. Rodney would have made a great working class photographer. Hanging out with his pals at the track. Rich mother-in-law.

Fallon needs to get the DVD set, and study... ;-P

That was real entertainment back then

Laddie Meadows 2 classic and classy men joking around. Now all we got are politically biased douchebags with a talk show

Rachael Ray..f-in bitch never stops talking

Duuude Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel all suuuck

He absolutely killed in the 1980s, and rose to enormous fame and respect! He was a major highlight of that decade.

Crying my eyes out from laughing. Johnny was a perfect straight man. Rodney's delivery of these gems is classic. Like a machine gun, just mowing 'em down.

Back in a time when comics were actually funny and didn't have to dance around that political correctness bullsh*t.

WAIT..RODNEY IS DEAD??

COSMO McCaulley That's why he hasn't been on any talk shows or movies in the past 12 years. I tell ya, he gets no respect, not even after he's DIED, he gets no respect. Give him one'a these. (makes Ok sign with his fingers) That's all he really wanted... Just one'a these. :)

WAIT ! WAIT ! SO ARE YOU.

What is heard was he was trying to extend his life through an operation and didn't make it through the operation.

Julian A ...I agree..it'll never be that good again...

Julian, thank God for KZfaq also!

Except Robin was a joke-stealing hack.

Mike Dunn Yea, mid twenty something old person

Mike Dunn Wait, when did I say what you are suggesting I apparently said?

apparently in Caddyshack they just kept on increasing his lines and expanding his parts after seeing each day's cuts that he was in. Was only supposed to be a minor part initially.

@@cheapycheapy4689 Yes. He steals the show in Caddyshack. It was the beginning of a GREAT decade for him, and that's an understatement.

kdubble_u he's still alive

He's dead Sadly to say Cindii.

kdubble_u Wow...I didn't know that. Thank you.

No Problem Cindii. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

kdubble_u.....why can't we all just get along ?

Gary Brice he's Yoggi....... That's my take

And, Rodney started late in life as a comedian. His wife got very sick, but Rodney hung with her until she died, then he hit the road and never looked back.

Exactly, Rodney Dangerfield is easily AND by far THE G.o.a.t. of Comedians !!!!!

@geezusispan Hey KAREN; you're head's gonna EXPLODE tonight after Trump wins.!!!! Educate yourself...snowflake

TacomaPaul yes I so remember this joke when it first aired in 1985 or 86 but me and laughed and talked about that one little joke that left such an impression on us, like you said "comedy gold "

TacomaPaul ty fl

Anderson Paak "Trippy" brought me here. 😂😂💀

JD Allen Day morning

no such thing as jokx or gold or not or fx or not, doesn't matter, say any nmw and any be perfx

Sean C he must know 10000 one liners and could remember them all. Very clever man

Yeah he does and he keeps hitting you with one after the other until your stomach hurts from laughing

that was the Chinese food you ate last night.

Jesse Bowman But I didn't have Chinese food last night

Sean C Well I feel sorry for your dog. That's what I call fast food.

Barbara Perry I think Jim Carrey is funnier

True...greetings from Rotterdam Holland

@@legendofstamfordbridge377 ]o

so true !

2112Spirit

Yes, and you can see he LOVES doing it for Rodney.

The sheer brilliance of the straight man. It appears easy but most Hollywood egos would ruin this bit by interjecting their lame opinions or jokes. In this case less is way more.

Gut laughs are so healing 😄😃😀

Love him!

That was a long clip compared to what is shown now.

I always loved that movie. Got it on an old VHS tape, but don't have a player, anymore. Really need to find it on DVD, sometime. :)

Easy Money DVD has been I my "Saved List" on my Netflix DVD Que, but now I not sure if it actually exists... could be so old it was pre-DVD... like you, I have an old VHS somewhere, but may search on eBay or Amazon

Know your rights

Make sure that you can still get the drive belts for whatever product that you are considering. Easily the most troublesome part when the machine fails.

Abaddon Interitus

Thanks friends

Or, you only hear every other one from laughing too long.

Yeah, I don't think that part could've gone better

If you think any of that was thought up on the spot you're an idiot.

Frenk van Vlissingen I believe it because I can do such things and make everyone crack.Ofcourse he is way better because he has had years doing it and im just 18 ;)

Tommy D Wow, you're so amazing. So special. You have zero self awareness and everyone who loves you is wrong.

+Frenk van Vlissingen wow, guess what Frenk? You just won 'KZfaq Douchebag of the Year!' Congratulations on making the world a better place friend! Yes, there's nothing like not only being a hypocrite & doing to others what you would just SHIT if it was done too you, but also jumping a complete strangers shit completely UNPROVOKED, as if their happiness actually irritates you, bravo! Thank you sir for doing your part to make the world even colder, crueler, & shittier. Oh BTW, we also have some adorable cute puppies in the back here you could kick if you'd like!!

I too saw it the night Dangerfield was there live. I hardly ever missed his show as a kid or young man. And when Johnny signed off each night by announcing the guests for the next day, if he mentioned one of my favorites like Dangerfield or Rickles or someone very interesting like Carl Sagan, a train couldn't keep me from being there next night.

David Farrell you gotta be the straight man when dangerman in the house 😂

Rodney is best off the leash.

Hi Jim Yes I am a bit. 856 418 1

I try to remember that when I'm talkin' to people. If somebody's tellin' a story, STFU. There's no need to try to top the other guys's story or joke.

Truth

I agree Johnny was the best, until you get to Jimmy Fallon. I wasn't impressed with Jay Leno I would only watch on rare occasion if I liked the guest. Overall, Fallon is the most talented. his impressions, his Musical knowledge, his singing, his acting, all the fun games he plays... then you add the comedy of Steve Higgins and their back and forth banter plus the Roots and he's hands down the best of all of them.

I was a big fan of David Letterman.

Winston Smith

@@denisecarper2944 Carson NEVER tried to outdo or even equal the act of a guest. He was a cheerleader or was invisible, as needed.

+James Taylor No Henny Youngman was king of the one liners. He preceded Rodney.

Yeah he was a comedic genius. He truly shines in Caddy Shack and Back to School.

"Hey everybody! We're gonna get laid!..." Classic! "Last time I saw a hat like that it came with a bowl of soup! Looks good on you though..." Classic!

Kamal Hussain o

He'd brutalize them..

Robert Gift True!! That was hysterical!!!!!!

The man was one of a kind.

Jimmy fallon is such an amateur compared to these guys!Fallon,the other night got a bunch on stage wearing plaid......So what!this went on andon...Then the stupid guy in the back started saying'' Plaid night''over and fucking over.Then the bad did!!!!Homor free...talent free dumbfucks...As if someone told them to go out and kill an hour...I finally turned it off before the guests came on.....SILLY FOR SILLY SAKE..HAT A WASTE n

+Lee Watkins wow, that's really bad. That's not funny in any way, I knew he was lame.

Great improvised line. Disappointing that Jonnie forgot it twice! Hilarious movie also, EASY MONEY!

Ed Faehr physical tics.... Aka ungodly amount of cocaine.

as long as you arrive at the destination, it doesnt matter if you walked, took a bus, or sometimes, a spaceship. Point is you arrived.

+Phish Munger true dat! They broke the mold with Rodney!

Loved that one...😄😄😄

+mano a mano when i took her to the beach green peace kept trying to throw her into the water....

PaulGreen11 True!! Talk about perfect advice for life.

Being depressed is a lot more fun with money. Being dead is about the same.

Great honest response! 👍🏼 Comedians and artists today have so much to learn.

+mosquitobight My fav is when he used Preperation H and the only thing that shrunk was his index finger!

+mosquitobight , Mine is "I went to try out a used car and found my wife's dress in the back seat!"

+DvdRLgh One of my favorites was when he said my wife get's loud during sex. Why the other night she got so loud i had to go next door and tell her to hold it down.

DvdRLgh 😂

Jajajaj the part i like is when he said money dont mean anything. My hair is still the same. It dont meaan anything he said. And then he said suddenly im depresss jajajaja i fell out when he said that !;) ajajaja funny man!;) jajaaj

Absolutely true THESE DAYS YOU CANT EVEN FART WITHOUT SOMEONE SAYING SOMETHING SNOWFLAKE SOCIETY

Feminism is shit

The best oof us is in the past, the future is bleak

Some jokes are very filthy but some are quite cute and true

Fuck both of you!

@@fredkaplan9720 The show was on at 11:30. Theoretically, the kids where in bed. That time slot was as near to cable as there was at that time. Nevertheless, I'm not sure I'd say "filthy."

+MrHappyBollox tho only possible explanation!

His wife, his son, his daughter, his doctor, that lady... the rest of us loved it. :)

It's now 753: 170 drunks, 400 fat chicks, and 183 of the men he walked in on with his wife.

your probably too young to have heard about a cat around before Rodney called Henny Youngman. He was known as the King of the one liners. He wrote the classic ' My wife's so fat, when she sits around the house. she sits AROUND the house!! Google him. Personally, I think Rodney is way funnier, but we owe alot to Mr. Youngman.

D Grundman You are correct, I did not know about Mr. Youngman. I will look him up. Thanks

+Matthew Kavelighan Hey Matt, I've been seeing this more & more of late, did you just write my name & post it on purpose or is this a mistake? I've been seeing this happening (not just with my name) on YT more & more, & it's annoying & a waste of time. You seen this too?

Me too bro, lmao

Thank you

And the very next joke is from the start of a song I’m trying so hard to remember the name of. I’ll edit this if/when I remember Edit: one minute later, decided to check out trippy just in case it was that one and it was. Both the jokes are in it. I’m so dumb 🤦🏻‍♂️

That's why Carson will always be the king of late night---he was smart enough to let his guests shine and do their thing!! All the other late night hosts since (with the possible exception of Letterman) try to upstage their guests and it's obnoxious as sh*(&t!!

Rodney Dangerfield best one-liners

@@nyterpfan I completely agree. The #1 late night host attention whore was Leno. That man CANNOT deal with being upstaged by ANYONE & it totally annoyed me to no end. After royally screwing a poor, upcoming, new upcoming REALLY naturally hilarious Conan O'Brien I lost complete interest & respect for Leno. He was formally leaving late night & it was decided that O'Brien was to replace his spot. Right when O'Brien was close to making his life dream premiere, BAM! Leno drops a nasty bomb on him by stating he's not quite ready 2 retire & announces his "comeback" to late night thereby stalling O'Brien's dream spot!! Leno is such an attention ho!

He's quiet because all of the questions are staged and part of rodney's act

+Derrick Yup. Rodney is doing his standup bit, he just happens to be sitting down. If Carson interrupts, he would be a heckler. :)

I'm 29 and love him. I don't know how he came up with some of his material but it's all great.

As an English lit major I’m constantly reminded of the scene in back to school where his professor accuses him of cheating, says she has no idea who he paid to write about Vonnegut’s book, but they obviously know nothing about... next thing you see is Rodney telling Kurt Vonnegut to pound sand he wasn’t paying!

Polo

So him ! Very clever.

British legend Spike Milligan has on his gravestone: " I told you I was ill!" In Gaelic.

Maybe i get no respect

Johnny was THE PERFECT STRAIGHT-MAN for Rodney. they loved and respected each other's talents.

Johnny Botts Probably his easiest interview ever. Just let him go ya know he's gonna be great.

Walk woods

Jimmy Fallic could learn from Johnny

Johnny Boggs

Depends what you mean by dirty language really

@Anton Of course no dirty language, it's the tonight show, network TV. He does let it rip a little though on his "No Respect" LP.

@geezusispan You don't have to swear.

That was very bold language for TV in those days. They were still showing family TV shows where married couples slept in separate beds.

You obviously never heard his club act. His jokes there would peel wallpaper
