“I Get No Respect”


Rodney Dangerfield
(born Jacob Cohen ‘got no respect’): Here are some of the comedian’s self-deprecating jokes:


  • I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.
  • I found there was only one way to look thin. Hang out with fat people.
  • I have good-looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me.
  • I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.
  • I joined Gambler`s Anonymous. They gave me two to one I don’t make it.
  • I said to the bartender "Surprise me." He pulled out a naked picture of my wife.
  • I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.
  • I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender.
  • I was so ugly... When I was born, the doctor slapped my mother!"
  • I was such an ugly kid - when I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.
  • I'm taking Viagra and drinking prune juice - I don't know if I'm coming or going.
  • I'm ugly I'm tellin' ya. My proctologist, he stuck his finger in my mouth.
  • If it wasn't for pick-pockets I'd have no sex life at all.
  • 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...
  • My uncle's dying wish: he wanted me on his lap. He was in the electric chair.
  • My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.
  • The other night I told my kid "Someday, you'll have children of your own. He said "So will you."
  • The other night I woke up and my wife was saying sexy things. I looked over and she was on the phone.
  • When my wife has sex with me there's always a reason. The other night she used me to time an egg.
  • With my wife I don't get no respect. I made a toast on her birthday to 'the best woman a man ever had.' The waiter joined me...
  • With my wife, I've got no sex life. The dog keeps watching me in the bedroom so he can learn how to sit up and beg. I told him to watch my wife so he can learn how to roll over and play dead.
