I worked for a guy that was a cross of Rodney Dangerfield and Jacky Gleason. He wouldn't do comedy because he was a flyby night roofer 😂 He was afraid he'd get busted.
Agree, and would add 1988 to your peak list. As for me, I spent nearly that entire three years, and much of the earlier 1980's at sea in the Navy. Years later I would reflect, recognize, and enjoy the music, movies and some TV of the mid-to-late 1980's.
My favorite line from Back to School was at the end, when Rodney (as Thornton Melon) is giving a speech to the graduating class: "You gotta look out for number one, but don't step in number two."
@@starguy2718 The whole movie is full of Rodney's hilarious one-liners - like in the scene with a bunch of knock-out co-eds in the hot tub. Rodney: "What's your favorite subject?" Co-ed: "Poetry." Rodney: "Maybe you can help me straighten out my Longfellow."
I miss Rodney but I also missed his show and this time. I was in college and after a long day of classes and work I'd come home to my basement apartment which was illegal in New Jersey and get to see who Dave had on. This was a magical night!
I’ve never seen this clip until now. I’ve seen a few clips of RD on Carson (too young to see them live). Rodney showed Dave lots of respect. As did Dave showed Rodney. Class act to both of them.
Rodney was my neighbor. His real top ten: 10. Hitting on my widowed mother in the elevator (he wanted her BAD like most of NYC) 9. Walking around the neighborhood in his ROBE 8. Having his tour bus show up at 3am and park on the street outside 7. Ignoring everyone, who respected his privacy and ignored him back 6. Get annoyed with me when I'd quote his films or commercials 5. Joking around the doormen he knew since the building opened in 1964 when he rented it, long before his fame 4. Dote on his daughter, as he was widowed 3. Performing at catch a rising star (in his Robe, as Chris Rock noted) 2. Giving young comedians like Sam Kinison a break 1. Spending evenings and weekends at his comedy club, Dangerfield's (60th and First).
It was shocking to see how many young people didn't really know much about Rodney Dangerfield. The guy is an absolute legend. Don't forget that he had a successful Rap song as well.
Imagine living in a time where RODNEY DANGERFIELD could walk on a late night talk show ?? Yes it was GD awesome to be alive in such a time. The complete opposite of what it's like today.
@@patreekotime4578 - Yes DUH!! Most of the ppl watching on TV weren't expecting Rodney. That's the point. Try to keep up. Explaining the obvious is exhausting
I feel like we get to see a little of the real Rodney in this clip. He was "on" for most of it, and in his Rodney persona. But I saw little glimpses of a real and genuine guy popping up here and there. What a comedy legend!! 😆

So glad I clicked! That, right there, is peak Rodney. Even the TT had an edge to it. Either he wrote some of them, or The Boys put in some zingers for their hero.
I tell its been a rough week ...I like to go house parties to relax ...Last week a lady invited me offer ...she said come on over nobody's home ...I went over ...nobody was home.
I was barely weaned when I began to adore Rodney and Don Rickles on the old Ed Sullivan show. They always seemed so uncomfortable under the hot lights. Sweating out thier humble self conscious humor. Bless em both. It won't be heaven without them.
I thought Letterman was at his best when he was on NBC after Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. It suited his style better there. Didn't like him so much when he moved to CBS. Love Dangerfield. here, btw!
Rodney was hilarious right to the end. He went into the hospital for heart bypass surgery in 2004 and was asked by a news reporter how long he anticipated being hospitalized. He replied, "If all goes well, about ten days. If not, about an hour and a half." He died from complications on the operating table but went out like a boss in true Rodney Dangerfield style. RIP Rodney Dangerfield
This clip appeared out of nowhere. Blast from the past. Actually saw this movie mentioned in the theater with my buddy when visiting my sister in LA Funniest bit from another movie called Easy Money in line with his No Respect mantra is his buddies get hammered after bowling and want to eat. They pull up to a diner and the sign says open 23 1/12 hours and it’s closes as soon as they pull up as the lights go out. Don’t know why but I loved that bit
"Yeah my high school was really tough. Really tough. When you arrived in the morning they searched you for weapons. If they didn't find any they gave you one."

Rodney was like a joke machine gun. I still miss him
@Daniel Drader
Johnny was the KING of Late Night TV
Dangerfield's act was so perfect that I really respect him.
With unlimited ammo
Back when late night was funny and no one was safe from comedy. Anything or anyone could be made fun of.
Oh we're you two close?
His wife’s cooking was so bad, the flies pitched in to fix the screen door
Yes. And if he left dental floss on the table the roaches would hang themselves.
STOP SMOKING CRACK
@@BAKER22-l4uDon’t get it, maybe you should heed your own advice
He didn't think meatloaf should glow in the dark either!
And the roaches hanged themselves with dental floss..
There was no one like Rodney. His mind was a lightning storm of one-liners.
I worked for a guy that was a cross of Rodney Dangerfield and Jacky Gleason.

He was afraid he'd get busted.
I'm 55. I love this clip. My God, how many years have flown by. We had it so good 80s/90s.
56 and agreed 80s was magnificent
You should have been there for the 70's as well!
I'm 52 and I agree 🤣
I miss the 80's / 90's as a teen. Dave made me professional smartass and I love it. 😁
Rodney made it cool to be a lovable loser.
Same here on Dave
1986 and 1987 were the peak of the 80's. We were so lucky... music, comedy, movies... THE BEST!
Plus I was born
Not sure off the top of my head when "Back to the Future" came out, but that was an 80's highlight for me.
@@jeffclement2468 1985 was when Back to the Future came to theaters. Great movie. One of my favorites

I was lucky enough to see him live on one of his tours back in the 80's . He was one of the Best.
Same! Saw him and Kinison in the same year, 1986
When I see Rodney Dangerfield, I just start laughing even before he speaks.
REST IN PARADISE LEGEND. Making jokes in heaven and we're laughing at them down here on Earth 🌎
My favorite line from Back to School was at the end, when Rodney (as Thornton Melon) is giving a speech to the graduating class: "You gotta look out for number one, but don't step in number two."

Rodney was and will be forever the best that ever was. He had a 15 mile per hour body with a speed of light mind. A comedic genius without peer.
"Maybe not chemically". Man that was good
Rodney top 10😂
And Rodney did a double take. He didn’t get the line for a second.
I still don’t get it
I once made the mistake of giving Rodney Dangerfield respect 😮
What? You think you're Chuck Norris? 😅
If there ever was anybody greater than Mr. Letterman, it is he himself Mr. Dangerfield. Best of the Best.
He always has me laughing at the get-go with " I'm doin' alright now but y'know, last week was rough..." 😝
HAHAHA!!!! I'll tell ya.... YOU had me on your post.....I'll tell ya...!!!
you remember what an awful day yesterday was.....!
As soon as he said it, I was laughing too. Great comedian.
I'm glad I was around when he was at his peak. His movie "Back to School" is still a great movie.
I still quote it to my son. "You don't lie to me, you lie to girls"!

Miss Rodney, he was a comedian genius.

Dave knows how high he is.
One of the all time greats. So many of those that make us laugh, really laugh and forget our troubles, are taken too soon.
Well, he lived until he was nearly 83-years-old...that's ancient, especially compared to most comedians.

I can’t imagine any of the Top 10 List being spoken on The Late Show today. Man, times have changed.
Rodney always delivers!
I went to see Rodney a couple of times in the 80s. The first time I was an audience participant onstage with opening act Andy Kaufman.
Wow! That had to have been QUITE the night
I loved Back to School when it came out, now it’s a classic!
this was the best show ever. I cant love Rodney more!!
Took my brother to see Rodney for his birthday, in Chicago at McCormick Place in 1989, I'm still laughing.
So much so fun in person, isn’t it?
Never turned down a chance to see Rodney. Never.
It was shocking to see how many young people didn't really know much about Rodney Dangerfield.

Dave looks so young. Now in 2022, who would have guessed he would look like the old bearded hermit?!
Crystal meth Santa Claus as Zach Galifianakis put it.

Rodney must have hit a joint right before going on stage! Love that look over his shoulder when the drum roll hits. 😂😂😂😂😂
