Rodney Dangerfield’s Guide to Auto Repair (1985)

Rodney Dangerfield steps into a mechanic’s shoes in this sketch from his 1985 TV Special “Exposed”. He’s joined by Dick Butkus and Bubba Smith, as well as Morgan Fairchild who plays an unlucky customer. “You ain’t using this car tonight!”

When ever I feel down I watch this, and I'm a retired mechanic, never fails to bring a smile back to my face!

This skit is over 30 years old & it's still accurate as fuck. Btw I think my dentist also took this course!

Love Rodney Dangerfield! I miss him. I'm getting old; I miss a lot of people these days.

I was a TV repairman for 22 years, and suddenly I realize how many times I said, "Who worked on this before", now...

I think the mechanic I had last week, watched this too many times lol.

Rodney's jokes are timeless. I love his humor and when I'm feeling down I watch him and wish he was still here. God bless you Rodney

I loved Rodney Dangerfield. He was always such a professional. He also didn't need to rely on cheap vulgarity. Rodney was a real class act. Much respect to the man who never got any respect. Rest in peace Rodney. We sure do miss you.

"Who worked on this car before?" My boss asked a lady that, and she said:"You did!" He never asked that again.

My dad was a professional mechanic, I guess he didn't go to the Rodney Dangerfield Guide to Auto Repair because we were poor. He was always honest and even worked on old ladies cars free from labor and cut them a break on parts if they couldn't pay the full bill. We were poor but he was one of my hero's in life. Although I did get a laugh out of it. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

That really was Dick Butkus too. That's awesome. Played for Da Bears in the 60s and 70s. Hall of famer.

Learning how to actually fix a car - difficult and expensive.
Learning how to con the customer - priceless.

You are so missed Rodney! God bless you. A true legend.
