We’re finally giving the man the respect he deserves.

Rodney Dangerfield is proof that it’s never too late to make it big - but you also have to be a genius, and a little bit insane. Dangerfield started out as a comedian in his twenties, but eventually gave up to work as a salesman and support his family. He finally returned and became a national sensation on “The Ed Sullivan Show” at the age of forty-seven. He went on to sell out shows, write and act in movies, and even record a rap album. And yeah, he complained a lot about his wife.

Here are some of the best jokes and moments from the silver fox of vintage comedy.
