  • On Rodney Dangerfield’s 1986 HBO special “It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me”, Bob Nelson performed several over-the-top impersonations including his punch drunk prizefighter character “Jiffy Jeff”. He shared the stage that night with Sam Kinison, Roseanne Barr, Jerry Seinfeld, Robert Townsend and Jeff Altman.

    This guy takes comedy to a new level! I love satire and improv! That's clever humor, highest form!😅 Followed him for years. I remember him saying that Red Skelton spoke to him early on in his career. He told him that he didn't need to use profanity in his act, that he was funny as he was without the F bombs! This video tells me it's early in his career when he thought the F bombs would have some weight. Anyway, an outstandingly person and blessed with a great humor! I take my " humor" and positive attitude everywhere I go and people enjoy the positive vibes😅!

      I've read somewhere that Bob and Red Skelton were talking one day. Red said to Bob that the cursing part of his routine wasn't needed. He was hilarious without that crutch! Bob wisely took that suggestion and never looked back! That's how I remember it!

      Some of Bob's stuff was good but that Jiffy Jeff stuff was painful, just way too long and not funny. I once listened to the old Howard Stern radio show in the late 1980s and Bob and Gilbert Gottfried were both on. Gilbert was his usual insane stuff on the show and was great and Bob spent the whole time in character as Jiffy Jeff and it just kept killing the momentum of the show.

  • @kraftyDevilX

    Apparently people laughed at this in 1986. Not really sure how Dangerfield even let him go on stage. It's the dumbest act I've seen maybe ever. No Bob, DON'T come back unless you learn how to write actual jokes!

There was an 80s comedian who did a perfect Johnny Carson and Carson was even in the crowd that night marveling over this guy. Did some other great impressions as well but I'll be damned if I can remember his name? I want to say his last name was lamarche or Le Mars? He kind of look like Fred Grandy who played on The Love Boat. Any ideas who this was?

      Boy this industry Hollywood or any of this type of industry of entertainment..doesn't really help people. as much as I thought it did when you become a comedian!
      I hope his fellow comedians help him out... If it was the Kardashians looking for donations people would line up
      even they already billionaires..
      yet here we have somebody that really has some good entertainment and a successful life with real nice to them and these are the ones that don't get it as easy.. this tells you how life is so unfair..
