Rodney Dangerfield died today. He was such an influence on me comedically.

Huge lose. I remember seeing him on Leno just a year or two ago, even in his 80s, he still had it. One movie he did that a lot of people aren't familiar with is "Meet Wally Sparks". A lot of people said it was just crude to the extreme, and maybe that was why I loved it. I thought it was fucking hilarioius. Here's to you Rodney. :ch33rs:

Yeah, he was an example of a great but almost extinct generation. Calling it like it is with no pc bullshit. Didn't he get caught spoking weed in the hospital a year or two ago? Easy Money rocked. :ch33rs:

"Meet Wally Sparks" is so great. Probably my favorite movie he was in is "Ladybugs." I remember seeing it in the movies and almost laughing my head off :D

Man, that sucks. So many comedians looked up to him.

Cheers to a great career :ch33rs:

Holy shit, I thought I was the only person on the planet who had seen Meet Wally Sparks. I'm glad some of you other degenerates have too.

Rodney Dangerfield is (I guess was, now) one of the like 5 or 6 people billed as "comics" on the planet that I found legitmately funny every single time in every single movie or performance.

There is also not enough love for Caddyshack in this thread. There isn't a day that goes by that me or my friends don't quote a line from that movie in a vain attempt to be half as funny as Dangerfield was. :(

I thought Meet Wally Sparks was required viewing?! To this day his performance in Natural Born Killers still creeps me out. Probably the only time he wasn't funny at all. Caddyshack was probably my favorite. I just remember watching it with my Dad all the time. I know he was a big fan.

This many people mourned this asshole why? He wasn't different from any other Jewish comedian. Rant rant but they always seem to forget to mention they own the fuckin media. :m1c:

Jakob Cohen is dead, so be it. :D

Rest In Purgatory. :sm0k3:
