[brodee]

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.

(AP) - Rodney Dangerfield, the bug-eyed comic whose self-deprecating one-liners brought him stardom in clubs, television and movies and made his lament "I don't get no respect" a catchphrase, died Tuesday. He was 82. Dangerfield, who fell into a coma after undergoing heart surgery, died at 1:20 p.m., said publicist Kevin Sasaki. Dangerfield had a heart valve replaced Aug. 25 at the University of California, Los Angeles, Medical Center.

He was great!

"I tell ya I get no respect from anyone. I bought a cemetery plot. The guy said, 'There goes the neighborhood!'"

yeah he'll be missed, but at least he had a good run considering how he punished his body for all those years... I hope I make it to 82.

R.I.P. Rodney

He was an amazing comedian, and one thing I wanted to do before I die was to see one of his shows in Vegas. Heartbreaker, he will be dearly missed.

Damn 82 I know no idea it seems like, yesterday he was 50, maybe it is just the fact I only see him in movies from the 80's, ala Caddyshack. 82 on that hefty frame of his is pretty damn good.

Funny guy too bad.
