In under 15 minutes, you’ll be able to watch one hundred of the best Rodney Dangerfield jokes. Naturally, as his career was pretty long, you’ll see performances from him of all ages.
His jokes are pretty light-heated in general, though not always politically correct from a modern-day standpoint. Still, there’s something about his unique delivery and vocal phrasing that makes nearly any joke he delivers one worth laughing at.
Throughout this clip, he’s shown on many different stages and sets, telling many different jokes. It’s interesting to see how his comedy style remained consistent throughout the years, somehow managing to create new and unique jokes despite sharing common themes.
His entire joke lineup is centered around the people and situations he’s been in throughout his life. His parents are one such theme, with him often joking about his mother and “his old man.”
He has many self-deprecating jokes, such as “my mother never breastfed me. she told me she liked me as a friend!” His wife is another common theme, with many jokes being made about her poor cooking, lousy driving, lack of sexual interest in him, and implications of her sleeping around.
This video also includes a lot of humor centered around Rodney’s children, his age, physical appearance, and the timeless Doctor Vinnie Boombatz. In nearly every shot, Rodney can be seen wearing the same outfit: a black suit, a red tie, a white undershirt, and a watch on his left wrist.
Although we will never again get the chance to watch him in person, this video is a great way to relive some of your favorite jokes you heard while growing up! His contributions to comedy will undoubtedly be remembered for decades to come.
