it was inevitable, but still sad. whether a dangerfield fan or not, i'm sure he has, at the very least ellicited, a good chuckle from each of us.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rodney Dangerfield, the goggle-eyed comic famed for his self-deprecating one-liners and signature phrase "I can't get no respect," died on Tuesday at age 82, his publicist said.

Dangerfield, who became a pop culture sensation with a string of broad film comedies starting with "Caddyshack" in 1980, died at 1:20 p.m. PDT (4:20 p.m. EDT) at the UCLA Medical Center, where he had undergone heart valve replacement surgery in August, spokesman Kevin Sasaki said in a statement.

It's depressing to think of the great comedy that was wasted all those years he was selling paint.

and all the great paint that went unsold when he went into comedy.
he always reminded me of the funny guy in the office who was always cracking everyone up. i guess one day he figured out he could make money doing it.

No, he told Johnny Carson on the Tonight show he sold paint wholesale. Told about how he would practice jokes on all those hardware and paint store owners/help.

I remember he was in a couple of crappy movies in the 80's. He made them not only watchable but funny. There was one where he was attacking some kid by driving golf balls at him. I think he went back to college as an older man.

OH yeah, this hot english teacher is reading the famous closing to Joyce's Ulysses with so much emotion that Dnagerfield gets swept up and is yelling along with her YES! YES!

hilarious.
sniff.
