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.

Let's all give him the proper respects. A truly great comedian. I'm very sad to see him go. :(
 
I agree with you all the way.
Great comedian... one of the greatest.
:(
 
Damn... that is really too bad. He was one of the greatest entertainers in modern culture.
 
A great lost to entertainment. :(
 
What is his most recent movie? I think the last thing I remember him from is that one where he was in some diving competition or something. Been awhile, but it was funny.
 
One of the easiet to recognize voices I've ever heard. What a shame.
 
*Gives respect*
 
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. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

a brilliant comidian. .... I'll miss him. I grew up on Caddyshack.
 
He gets no respect...:(
 
Finally, on his death he gets some respect. But let's not forget what made him great in the first place, no respect.
 
My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too. Rodney Dangerfield

wow, what a drag. Rodney was definitely one of my all time favorites. :(

There was a recent Rolling Stone interview with him, and he sounded pretty happy and content. He was funny just hanging out smoking weed with the reporter. He will be missed.
 
He'll always be around. I'm sure no afterlife would take him! :)

One of the all-time greats.
 
one last round of applause for Rodney :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
 
Some of Rodneys gems:

I worked in a pet store and people kept asking how big I'd get.

My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

I asked my old man if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, "Wait til it gets warmer."

My mother never breast fed me. She told me that she only liked me as a friend.

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 remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent back a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.

My uncle's dying wish was to have me sitting on his lap. He was in the electric chair.

Last night my wife met me at the front door. She was wearing a sexy negligee. The only trouble was, she was coming home.

If it weren't for pick-pocketers, I'd have no sex life at all.

I was making love to this girl and she started crying. I said, "Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?" She said, "No, I hate myself now."

I knew a girl so ugly that she was known as a two-bagger. That's when you put a bag over your head in case the bag over her head breaks.
