MarcM Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 I know he was not a musician, but if we can talk about REM in the "Get The Word Out" section, we can remember Rodney Dangerfield here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/3719060.stm
Earth-Angel Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Wow - I only watched him last night in Little Nicky Sad news, sad news.
MindCrime Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 He was a very funny man. I tell ya nothing goes right. My wife's father died. She had his body frozen. Every time I take a snack, he falls out of the refrigerator. Clowns in Heaven
MuzikTyme Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 I loved it when he was trying to score with a teacher: How 'bout we go out to dinner tonight? Sorry, but I have a class. Well, how 'bout tomorrow night? I'm sorry but tomorrow I have another class. OK then, why don't you call me when you have no class? Or: I'm a land sign, my wife, she's a water sign. Together we made mud. ::

Jenny Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 We need a crying smiley for this occasion....but the closest thing is this Back to School, the movie Muzik quoted, is one of my favorites
TheCyberdemon Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Ya, to hell with liberal touchy feely rain forest saving queers, this is the important news. RIP - Rodney.
Aunt_Acid Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Man, I just saw it on the news last night. How sad. I have only seen a little of his stand up, but I will never forget his performance in Caddyshack. Plus, he reminded me a lot of my old neighbor. Both in the way he looked and acted. He will be missed.
bazooka Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 To this very day, I still sing "Rappin' Rodney"...he will be missed. We'll probably hear quite a bit of this "rarity" over the next few days. Here's an interesting confession from Rodney, that I included in a "rap" thread a while back.
_jr_ Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 I'm very fortunate to have seen Rodney live at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware, back in 86 or 87. Maybe even 88, I forget now. He was one of a kind, that's for sure. He let people heckle, then handed them their a$$. "Hey Whitey, where's your hat?" Some of you may remember the "Tastes great, less filling" commercials from way back. "All we need is one more pin, Rodney!" Yup, he was a good one. See ya, Rodney.
Batman Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 What if nobody came to his funeral? Then he would have been right all along, he doesn't get any respect.
MindCrime Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 What if nobody came to his funeral? Then he would have been right all along, he doesn't get any respect. Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where he did the voice for the guy who sold Marge that Pretzel Wagon, & then he dies & Homer wishes to speak to the president of his estate & his wife leans over & whispers "he's in that coffin over there, they were in the same car"
Aunt_Acid Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 That was Rodney!? I loved that episode. "Hmmm.. I don't know what I want... I guess I'll have a.. no, wait.. umm... uhh.... how about a.." "While we're young!"
