Damn, that sucks. I saw him on Kimmel recently. I couldn't believe how old he looked. Who's going to fill his shoes as funniest man alive?

bye rodney =/

I'm trying a new diet now. The diet is Viagra and prune juice. I tell ya, I don't know if I'm coming or going.

RIP Rodney. Truly a great comedian.

He told it like it was...

 

[Mermandala]

what kinda name is Dangerfield anyway? Worst danger in a field is stepping on cow doo. what infamous event did the ancient Dangerfields do... Step on rakes?

Some noteworthy people of the name Dangerfield:

Rodney Dangerfield (1922-2004) American comedian
Thomas Dangerfield (1650-1685) English criminal

rest in peace rodney... a piece of dirt.

Rodney, you'll get respect in the afterlife. Rest in piece.

I'm having a RD memorial film festival. Caddyshack, Ladybugs, Meet Wally Sparks, Back to School... we'll remember the good times of Rodney.

This killed the evening.

In 1995, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences rejected Dangerfield's application for membership. A letter from Roddy McDowall of the actors branch explained that the comedian had failed to execute "enough of the kinds of roles that allow a performer to demonstrate the mastery of his craft."

The ultimate rejection, and Dangerfield played it to the hilt. He had established his own Web site ("I went out and bought an Apple Computer; it had a worm in it"), and his fans used it to express their indignation. The public reaction prompted the academy to reverse itself and offer membership. Dangerfield declined.

"They don't even apologize or nothing," he said. "They give no respect at all - pardon the pun - to comedy."

GO RODNEY!

Solid Snake fought his best friend, Frank Jaeger, in a minefield.

Rodney Dangerfield has my respect.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I've been worried about him with all his health problems, I was hoping he would pull through. RIP Rodney.

That sucks. Caddyshack is one of the funniest movies of all-time...

He was on Stern a bit back too.

 

[heavy liquid]

Damn, this sucks. Just when I thought he was going to make it through his surgery.

Rodney's got a website, you hear jokes in the background and everything... sign his guestbook.

RIP

Yeah, I remember Ladybugs. I've seen it many times. Jackee Harry (227) was the co-star.

I saw some of his Simpsons episode just this past Sunday on TV. Man was it a riot...

Rich Woman: I would like for you to meet my daughter. She just came out last fall.
(Shows very ugly lady.)
Larry: Whoa! Put her back in, she's not done yet!

Rodney seemed like such a cool guy, and his brand of humour was just terrific. The one positive is that he at least lived a full life (seen too many other well known people drop dead before their 50th birthday lately). But I'll miss him...he was one of a kind.
