Ranked: These Comedians Have Made Us Laugh For Decades

26. Rodney Dangerfield

One of the kings of zany one-liners, Rodney Dangerfield would tell a joke a minute to the point where audiences could barely keep up! The standup comic made a career from complaining that he ‘don’t get no respect’ and would often tell self-deprecating jokes about himself.

After his death in 2004, the actor and comedian was praised by Hollywood and the LA community. To date, he is credited as popularizing self-deprecating humor that people still use today.
