Rodney passed away in 2004. He started most of his comedy routine one-liners with the words:”I don’t get any respect”, then, we would hear a string of one-liners, in rapid fire fashion (often with rim shots) which would have most people rolling with laughter. These are just a small sample and tribute offered with respect.
I was so poor growing up...If I wasn't born a boy.... I’d have had nothing to play with.
A girl phoned me the other day and said.... "Come on over, there's nobody home." I went over. ….. Nobody was home.
If it weren't for pickpockets... I'd have no sex life at all.
During sex my girlfriend always wants to talk to me. Just the other night she called me from a motel.
One day as I came home early from work, I saw a guy jogging naked. I said to the guy.... "Hey buddy, why are you doing that?" He said, "Because you came home early."
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. Now, I'm afraid to go take a leak.
I was such an ugly kid...When I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up.
I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
I was such an ugly baby...My mother never breast-fed me. She told me that she only liked me as a friend.
I was so ugly...My father carried around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet.
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, anyway.
I was so ugly...My mother had morning sickness ...after I was born.
I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.
Once when I was lost... I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him.... "Do you think we'll ever find them? "He said ... "I don't know kid ... there are so many places they can hide."
My wife made me join a bridge club. I jump off next Tuesday.
I'm so ugly...I worked in a pet shop and people kept asking how big I'd get.
I went to see my doctor. "Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror...I feel like throwing up. What's wrong with me?" He said..."I don't know, but, your eyesight is perfect."
I went to the doctor because I'd swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.
