nobody can tell 200 jokes in 3 minutes, but Rodney.

Raise your hand if you really, really miss Rodney Dangerfield. Even after all these years. His memory is indeed a blessing.

[tomking]

Back when politicians of different parties could have a good time together. Those days are gone.

The output this guy had was insane. He told 5 netflix specials worth of jokes in 4 minutes.

[pikaskew]

Poor Rodney, he went everywhere he could to air his grievances and no matter where he went people just laughed at him...

[reedallyn]

"My wife's cooking is so bad, the flies got together in the back yard and fixed the screen door."

[soulprovider]

You are literally witnessing someone who was born to do this. Classic humor that you will never find today. Did the whole skit without saying one foul word.

[richardscali]

Just a fond memory of what America was

[jamesdoss]

“I told my son, ‘You know someday you’ll have kids of your own., ” He said, ‘So will you.’” This man was a genius.

When I was young we were so poor, if I wasn’t born a boy, I’d have nothing to play with. - Rodney Dangerfield.

This guy is a rapid fire stand up comedian. He got great timing and quick mind, he slows down so that his audience could catch up. No one even comes close. He’s the best!

[deadbrother]

The pace in this bit is insane. Respect Rodney. One of the best to ever do it.

"I'm so ugly my father used to carry a picture of the kids that came with the wallet."

"My girlfriend said 'Come on over, there's nobody home', so I went over and there was nobody home!"

[theunknown]

Rodney's comedy was unlike any other. You actually bursted out laughing once every 30 seconds. You didn't have to wait forever for a punchline

[eileenrinker]

My favorite Rodney joke - "When I was in high school, my acne was so bad that once I fell asleep in the library and when I woke up a blind man was reading my face."

[thealaskan]

I met the Surgeon General. He offered me a cigarette. God I miss you Rodney.

[michaelsix]

40 yrs. old and these jokes are still funny, Rodney had best delivery

[edzaslow]

An amazing talent. Notice that none of his jokes are vulgar or in bad taste. He is missed.

[DrWongburger]

"story of my life, I do t get no respect" as he gazes across to the crowd, realizing the irony of just how much respect he had. What a giant.
