TimmyB Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rodney Dangerfield (news), the goggle-eyed comic famed for his self-deprecating one-liners and signature phrase "I can't get no respect," died on Tuesday at age 82, his publicist said. Dangerfield, who became a pop culture sensation with a string of broad film comedies starting with "Caddyshack" in 1980, died at 1:20 p.m. PDT (4:20 p.m. EDT) at the UCLA Medical Center, where he had undergone heart valve replacement surgery in August, spokesman Kevin Sasaki said in a statement. May you rest in peace Rodney Dangerfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimmerman pt3 Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 ah man, that guy was pure jokes in the early 80s; not too familiar with his earlier career, but its safe to say the characters he played in Caddyshack, Easy$, and Back2School were just classic!

StoneMtn Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Shortly before he died, he contacted those psychos known as the "Raelians" to try to get himself cloned! I wonder if he ever got that going (presuming anyone actually believes that those nuts have the technology to pull it off; as they claim). There could be a petrie dish somewhere with a little Rodney-to-be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermontdave Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I gotta tell ya, I just don't get any respect. RIP Rodney (greatest comic ever) ps Dick Cheney sucks because he lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_starr Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I don't care what he said... he got a shitload of respect from me. The one man that gave George Carlin a run for his money. Ok... he and Richard Pryor. Come to think of it, Carlin could kick Rodney's ass all over a stage. And Richard could, too. With one freebase ignition behind his back! And don't even talk to me about Carrot Top... Rest in peace, Rodney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
