3dzapper Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I certainly hope that now he gets some respect. He was a great funny man and will be missed. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middlecreekguy Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 He`ll get plenty of respect. Just a funny comedian. To get the full effect of Rodney, buy one of his albums. The guy was just a non stop barrage of one liners. When he got his second career in the `70`s it was unique at the time. What a funny guy. If the younger crowd here has not seen Caddy Shack, see it. A very funny movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 At the thrift shop today I passed on one of his lps, "Rappin' Rodney." Now I wish I'd grabbed it. He was a funny, funny guy and will certainly be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Rodney (82) was one of my late dad's favorites. I enjoyed him, too. "My wife, my wife, she's a two bagger: You wear a bag over your head just in case the one over hers breaks!" LOL! He'll be missed. - That's "two": Janet Leigh passed away on Sunday (77). God bless 'em both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Adams Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 WOW......that's too bad. I remember seeing him on some shows and laughing so hard that I missed probably 30% of the jokes he told. Man-oh-man....I can't believe it. I just saw him maybe 4 weeks ago on the Fox News morning show. They were asking him about his comedy style and the difference between his and the current crop of comedians. He commented that most of today's stand up comics use a lot of lead-in commentary to set up their jokes. So consequently, they only tell maybe 25 or so jokes in an hour routine. He said he once told over 300 jokes in one 1 hour gig. That's an awesome memory. I think that sound I hear is not thunder, but a bunch of angels rolling on the floor laughing.

dodger Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 From the days of the Ed Sullivan Show on the shrug of the shoulders, checking his collar... You know a comedian was good when the laughs stop and the tears form. Rest easy Rodney - you earned our Respect... dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Rodney was at his best on the Carson show in 5 min all-out bursts. So good you thought you'd die. "My kid. He really has it in for me. Last week he stuck Crazy Glue in my Preperation H." "So I get into a cab and the cabbie asks me if I have any naked pictures of my wife. I tell him "no!" and he asks me if I wanna buy some." RIM SHOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomac Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I saw Rodney "live" in his little NY Club. It was early 70s I think. The cover/minimum was heavy for college kids and there was no guarantee he would actually show up. Two singers later my brother returns from the bathroom yellin hes here hes here. Rodney was there and the show was no less than spectacular. All five of us laughed our butts off. He was a bit blue, compared to TV, but not foul and always funny. The other day I went out and bought a cemetery plot. The guy takes my money and says, there goes the neighborhood. I tell ya, I get no respect God bless Rodney I loved the guy!
