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.

That really blows. Nobody else was like Rodney. He had a style all his own. Sadly, they're going to remake Back To School. You can't duplicate that. The reason the movie was great WAS Rodney. Sad, that's not a way to go. Although, he wasn't awake, and probably felt no pain. Maybe that was the way to go. I was really hoping he was going to pull through, too. Thanks for the laughs, Rodney!!!

Goodnight funny man.....Thanks for the thousands of belly laughs!
RIP Rodney. Well never have another comedian/actor who can do a Triple Lindy!
So who here hasn't been to Dangerfield's on 1st Avenue in NYC?
1. I was so poor growing up. If I wasn't a boy, I'd have had nothing to play with.
2. A girl phoned me the other day and said, "Come on over; nobody's home." I went over. Nobody was home.
3. During sex, my wife always wants to talk to me. Just the other night she called me from a hotel.
4. It's been a rough day. I got up this morning put a shirt on and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.
5. I was such an ugly kid. When I played in the sandbox; the cat kept covering me up.
6. I'm so ugly. My father carries around a picture of the kid who came with his wallet.
7. When I was born, the doctor came into the waiting room and said to my father, "I'm sorry. We did everything we could, but he pulled through."
8. Once when I was lost, I saw a policeman, and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him, "Do you think we'll ever find them?" He said, "I don't know kid. There's so many places they can hide."
9. I'm so ugly. I worked in a pet shop, and people kept asking how big I'd get.
10. I went to see my doctor. "Doctor, every morning when I get up and I look in the mirror. I feel like throwing up; what's wrong with me?" He said "I don't know but your eyesight is perfect."
11. With my old man I got no respect. I asked him, "How can I get my kite in the air?" He told me to run off a cliff.
12. My uncle's dying wish was to have me sitting in his lap; he was in the electric chair.
RIP Rodney

I saw my psychiatrist. I told him, "Doc, I keep thinking I'm a dog." He told me to get off his couch.
September 2
Oh, when I was a kid, everyone thought I got plenty of girls. I used to go to a drive-in movie and do push-ups in the backseat of my car.
September 3
I was making love to one girl, I told her, "You're so flat-chested." She said, "Get off my back."
September 4
I said to one girl, "Come on, honey, I'll show you where it's at." She said, "You better, 'cause the last time I couldn't find it."

Oh, when I go to a nude beach, I always take a ruler with me. Yeah, just in case I have to prove something.
September 6
Oh, when I was a kid, when my parents went shopping, they always took me with them - that way they could park in a handicapped section.
September 7
What a childhood I had, why, when I took my first step, my old man tripped me!

Last week I told my psychiatrist, "I keep thinking about suicide." He told me from now on I have to pay in advance.
September 9
I know the best way to get girls. I hang out at prisons and wait for parolees.
September 10
Oh, this girl was fat, when she walks backward, she starts beeping. I mean, fat. She asked me why my eyes were bulging, I told her, "You're standing on my foot!"
September 11
A lot of girls turn me down. One girl turned me down, she said she had to go to work in the morning. I told her, "I'll be finished by then!"
September 12
I tell you, I'm not a sexy guy. I was the centerfold for Playgirl magazine. The staples covered everything!
September 13
I'm getting old. I got no sex life. I get tired just holding up the magazine. At my age, I like to get sex over quickly. Then I can get to the nap.
September 14
My doctor told me to watch my drinking. Now I drink in front of a mirror. And I drink too much, way too much; my doctor drew blood he ran a tab!
September 15
One time my whole family played hide and seek. They found my mother in Pittsburgh!
September 16
Oh, last week was a rough week. I noticed my gums were shrinking. I was brushing my teeth with Preparation H.
September 17
Oh, my wife loves vacations. The other night she told me, "I wanna go someplace I've never been before." I took her to a men's room.
September 18
With girls, I don't think right. I had a date with one girl, she had mirrors all over her bedroom. She told me to come over and bring a bottle. I got Windex.
September 19
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.
September 20
People say fish is good for a diet. But fish should never be cooked in butter. Fish should be cooked in its natural oils - Texaco, Mobil, Exxon...
September 21
Oh, when I was a kid in show business I was poor, I used to go to orgies to eat the grapes.
September 22
Oh, when I was a kid I was poor. We were so poor, when my father died; they asked my mother, "Paper or plastic?"
September 23
Last night I came home, I walked in the house, I picked up the extension. My wife was having phone sex with some guy. I told the guy, "Don't let her fool you, she's faking it."
September 24
When we got married my wife told me I was one in a million. I found out she was right!
September 25
I'll tell you one thing, I know how to satisfy my wife in bed, yeah, I leave.
September 26
I tell ya, my wife was never nice. On our first date, I asked her if I could give her a goodnight kiss on the cheek - she bent over!
September 27
You wanna have laughs? Do what I do. When I go through a tollbooth, I keep going. I tell the guy, "The car behind me is paying for two."
September 28
I had a good time last week. I did a show; the whole audience was midgets. I got a standing ovation - I didn't even know it!
September 29
I tell ya, with me, sleep is important. Well, last night I went to bed, I couldn't sleep. I started to count sheep - I got horny!
September 30
When I was a kid I got no respect. I worked in a pet store. People kept asking how big I get.

Rodney was so funny! Since I am someone who appreciates comedy and I love to laugh, I will certainly miss this great talent! You could hear his one-liners all day long today on the radio! If anyone saw me driving today they must have thought someone was in the car with me, tickling me with feather! I guess someone was , in spirit!
RIP Jacob Cohen!
