Rodney Dangerfield Is Dead at 82
 

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

That sucks.

I wonder if he and his 20 year old wife ever got a chance to get a hold of that lady who claimed she cloned the first human. I remember seeing on ET that he and his wife were interested in cloning himself. Scary.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rodney Dangerfield, 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.

I don't know why, but this really made me puddle up. I hope he gets his respect now. :(

It gets to me too. Even though I never met him, he somehow seemed like a great-uncle to me. He reminded me of my Grandfather Irving and my Uncle Al.

I'm sad. :(

Oh how sad. Now I have to break this to my boyfriend who is a huge fan. :(

Me too. :(

how sad:(

:( What a sad thing to hear. I always thought he was really funny.

Seriously??? :(

I shall have to watch Ladybugs and Cadyshack this weekend as a sign of respect. :(

I was thinking the SAME thing! It sucks that he died, but I just never thought he was that funny. He got REALL weird in his old age too...cue the ET video OTW referred to.

I hope he get's his respect in heaven.

He's one of the funniest human beings that ever lived - this is not up for debate.

Mad respect, Rodney.


"A woman called the other day and said come on over, nobody's home. I went over. Nobody was home."

"My mother never breast fed me; she said she liked me more as a friend."

"I come from a stupid family. My father worked for a bank; he was fired for stealing pens. In the civil war, my great uncle fought for the west."

"I could tell my parents hated me - my bath toys as a kid were a toaster and a radio."

"I went to the doctor because I swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. He told me to have a few drinks and get some rest."

"My wife looks like she came in second in a hatchet fight."

Funny guy. RIP.

This is incredibly sad.

But in a way it's something he wanted badly. I know he led a very sad life. He was on Howard Stern once talking about all the awful things in his life and how he just wasn't afraid of dying. I hope he's in a better place.

He was funny up to the end. When he went in for surgery he said something along the lines of "If all goes well I'll be here for 3 or 4 weeks. If things dont go well I'll be here for 3 hours"

dont forget to do a Triple Lindy off your local high dive. :D

Very sad...may he rest in peace

I thought he was so funny, but I cant beleive he was 82, he really looks good for his age. I would have thought mid-60's.

Don't forget Easy Money and Back To School.
