You probably know some of the classic jokes of Rodney Dangerfield, who passed away on Tuesday at age 82 (“I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap”). But here are five of his lesser-known gags that best illustrate his talented use of one-liners, and how they hammered home his signature self-deprecating catchphrase “I get no respect”:
– “A girl phoned me the other day and said, ‘Come on over; there’s nobody home.’ I went over. Nobody was home.”
– “My problem is that I appeal to everyone that can do me absolutely no good.”
– “When I was born, the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father, ‘I’m very sorry. We did everything we could, but he pulled through.’ “
– “It’s been a rough day. I got up this morning, put on a shirt and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off. I’m afraid to go to the bathroom.”
– “I asked [my wife] if she enjoys a cigarette after sex. She said, ‘No E one drag is enough.'”
