"He said okay, you're ugly too."
“He said okay, you’re ugly too.”
This being the punch line of my Favorite Joke Of All Time.
I left him off the list only because I’m not certain that you can technically call his appearance in any film that he was in “acting”. But the man just killed me every time I saw his act, never failed.
My other favorite: “I get home a little early from being on the road doing shows; I don’t want to go home just yet...so, I call a cab and tell the driver, “take me to where the action is!”. So, he takes me home!
One time when I was young I was lying on the beach in Santa Monica with my eyes closed, half dreaming. All of a sudden I heard the most distinctive voice in the world. Rodney Dangerfield was asking a random guy on the beach, “ hey, can I tell you a joke?” When I opened my eyes, I saw him standing there in a white terry cloth robe, trying out a new joke on this random guy. The guy laughed uproariously and Dangerfield thanked him and moved on.
Afterward, his friend asked the guy, “Did you really think that was funny?” The guy said no. Which I thought was kind of mean.
