This quality children's animated flick shows how versatile Dangerfield can be. Ask most stand-up comedians known for being on the dirty side to write a G-rated screenplay and they wouldn't at all know how to go about it. But Dangerfield does, in this good (but not great) comic and somewhat chessy and predictable, but that's par for all kid flicks, film. Good songs include "It's a dog's life and I love it" and the amusing "I'll never do it on a Christmas tree". Great looking animation of Dangerfield as a dog, and the best K-9 one-liners

Background
Rodney Dangerfield, a comedian, actor, producer, and author, was born Jacob Rodney Cohen on November 22, 1921, in New York, U.S. At 15, he started writing stand-up scripts for comedians. At 19, he changed his name to Jack Roy and began performing as a stand-up comedian. As a struggling artist, he worked sundry jobs for extra money. For some time, he gave up his passion for show business and started working as a salesman.
In the early 1960s, he made his comeback by performing in hotels at night while working as a salesman during the day. His comeback wasn’t an immediate success, but it created an on-stage comic character in whose life nothing goes right. The name of this new and relatable character was ‘Rodney Dangerfield.’ This act became a hit on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1968, where his “No Respect” bit became popular. He appeared on “The Tonight Show” starring Johnny Carson (1972) and “The Dean Martin Show” (1973) while busy headlining shows in Las Vegas. With his rising popularity, he opened Dangerfield’s Comedy Club in New York City and performed daily. The club soon evolved into a stage for budding stand-up comedians. Cohen made his movie debut in “The Projections” (1971) and appeared in more comedies later in his career. Some of his comic hits include “Caddyshack” (1980), “Easy Money” (1983), and “Back to School” (1986), which became his biggest film. He released a comedy album titled “No Respect” in 1980, which won a Grammy Award. His next album, “Rappin’ Rodney,” topped the Hot 100 rap records and the video became an M.T.V. hit. With the launch of his website in 1995, he became the first celebrity to own and create content for a personal website. He got nominated for and won various awards, such as the Grammy Award, American Comedy Award, and Webby Award, amongst others.
Cohen was married twice, first to Joyce Indig (1951), and then to Joan Child (1993). He had two children from each marriage. He passed away at the age of 82 in 2004.

What does Caddyshack, the 39-year-old Bill Murray movie about hijinks at a country club, have to do with politics in 2019?
Quite a bit, argues James Poniewozik, the New York Times’ chief television critic.
And what does the New York Times’ chief television critic have to say about politics in 2019?
Quite a bit. You can read some of it in his Times columns, where he frequently writes about election debates, presidential press conferences, and congressional hearings through the lens of a professional TV watcher. He’s exceptionally insightful about the way modern politicians use TV and vice versa.
And now you can also read Poniewozik in book form, where he zeroes in on the politician who uses TV to great effect and vice versa: Audience of One is a smart look at the way TV has shaped Donald Trump over decades and how Trump has mastered the medium.
Which brings us back to Caddyshack, and specifically to Rodney Dangerfield’s character in that movie: a super-rich, charismatic boor who upsets the country club’s elite members.
Yes, Caddyshack is a movie, not a TV show, but allow Poniewozik a little latitude to make his point: He argues that different tropes, characters, and themes that ascended in pop culture for the last four decades either influenced Trump directly or made the culture more receptive to Trump. And Caddyshack happened to come out in 1980, the same year Trump started becoming a national TV figure, via a Tom Brokaw interview on the Today show.
Again, if you’ve seen Caddyshack, it only takes a second to realize the connection between Dangerfield’s Al Czervik and Trump, once Poniewozik points it out: Trump leans very hard into the idea that he’s a populist billionaire, sucking down Big Macs on his private plane and dumping ketchup on the steaks he orders well done at his own hotels. That kind of character can be very appealing — especially when he riles up elites.
As Poniewozik said when I interviewed him recently: “These stories are powerful because they’re metaphorical, and metaphors are more powerful than literal speech because they say more than literal speech in a smaller amount of time.”
In 1980, you would never have pegged Rodney Dangerfield as the template for the president of the United States. In retrospect, it seems almost inevitable.
Poniewozik talked to me for a recent episode of Recode Media. You can read an excerpt of our conversation below and listen to the entire chat here.
James Poniewozik
Al Czervik, who Rodney Dangerfield plays, is this obnoxious, boorish rich guy who all the other stuck-up rich people at the country club hate.
Peter Kafka
He’s probably richer than the other people at the country club.
James Poniewozik
He is definitely richer than the other people at the country club, and this gives him the freedom not to care about them. It gives him this liberating — and this is what made him run away with the movie — this liberating thing of ... I don’t know if I can swear on this podcast.
Peter Kafka
Yeah.
James Poniewozik
He has “fuck you” money. Right? That’s the dream. I can have all this money and I can be myself.
Peter Kafka
Dress how I want.
James Poniewozik
I can dress how I want. I can keep my own habits. I don’t have to put on a show for anybody. Who gives a crap what you think about me?
Peter Kafka
I offend your sense of decorum and I enjoy it.
James Poniewozik
Yeah, exactly. I’m going to get the biggest, grossest yacht and just tear through the water on it and splash water all over your christening ceremony for your nice, little sailboat.
Peter Kafka
And, you can’t kick me out of your club because I’m richer than you.
James Poniewozik
Exactly. His character is opposed, in the movie, to Ted Knight’s character, Judge Smails, who is the stick-up-his-ass, uptight rich guy who runs the country club and cannot stand him. This all came to mind, I think, during the 2016 debates, when I’m watching Donald Trump in action in the debates and seeing him go up against Jeb Bush.
Donald Trump is a pop culture figure. He has lived in pop culture all of his life. I’m not saying that he sat down with a notebook and he plotted all this out. But these archetypes come to him because archetypes are how leaders and candidates in politics tell stories. He’s like the Clampetts against Mister Drysdale. He’s Rodney Dangerfield against Ted Knight. It’s the rich guy that you want to be against the fucking snobby rich guy that everybody hates.
Particularly, in the Republican primary — when Mitt Romney came out against him in March 2016 — he played that up to the hilt. I think what a lot of the people who were attacking him within the Republican party, and a lot of the people, including people in journalism, as well as politics, thought, “Well surely, Donald Trump may be leading the polls, but he’ll never actually win.” I think what they didn’t see was that there were these powerful pop cultural archetypes that he was playing into that put this audience on his side, precisely because of the things that outraged them.
Peter Kafka
They/we were all identifying him as Ben Carson, or any other Republican fringe candidate that had become popular briefly in the past and then eventually flamed out. We didn’t see that this is a really deep popular American archetype.
James Poniewozik
Yes. One thing that I really try to avoid doing as a critic, and even before I wrote this book, is ... I try to avoid the simplistic thinking that pop culture brainwashes people. You know, “violent culture makes people violent,” etc. Or, “reality TV makes people conservative; The Apprentice made people vote for Donald Trump,” etc.
I think these facts are all complex. But, what this is here, and what I think is extremely powerful — and all politicians work in this system, whether they know it or not — is that these archetypes exist there. These stories are powerful because they’re metaphorical, and metaphors are more powerful than literal speech because they say more than literal speech in a smaller amount of time. You can use these types once they’re created, once they’re out there in the culture, to tell your story.

Rodney Dangerfield has wealth, fame, a hit movie and the respect of almost everybody but himself

At the age of forty-two, Jack Roy (that was his legal name now) went back. He played a club in Upper Manhattan that he’d worked fifteen years before. The Inwood Lounge, it was now called, a historic joint, because there he got the third and ultimate name of his life. He wanted to break in his new stuff quietly without anyone he knew watching. So he told the owner, George McFadden, not to bill him as Jack Roy. Well, McFadden came up with a lulu. It wasn’t Jack Roy who came out but Rodney Dangerfield.
And there, staring at him, was mostly the same crowd he’d played to before, but fifteen years older. They looked at him and they said, “Rodney Danger-field?” Rodney had an answer: “If you’re gonna change your name — change it!”
One friend said, “Wild name; why not keep it?” As you know, he did. “I don’t know, I was crazy in those days. I was a little depressed. Okay, I became Rodney Dangerfield.”
Rodney redux. He worked here, he worked there. He was better now, he thought. “I matured. I wasn’t a kid anymore, I was a man coming back.” Some places he worked free, just to polish the material, work on the image. Sometimes a comic needs a hook, you know? Jack Benny’s stinginess, Billy Crystal’s mahvelous. Rodney’s came out of his real life, his despair, his feeling of always being on the bottom end. He had this joke he wrote: I played hide and seek. They wouldn’t even look for me. “To make it work better, you look for something to put in front of it: I was so poor, I was so dumb, so this, so that.” He thought, “Now what fits that joke? Well, no one liked me was all right. But then I thought, ‘A more profound thing would be I get no respect.’ “
He tried it at a place in Greenwich Village called Upstairs at the Duplex, equally historic in the annals of comedy. There he declaimed, “I don’t get no respect. When I was a kid, we played hide and seek. They wouldn’t even look for me.”
“And the next day, people started saying to me, ‘Hey, Rodney! No respect! Me, too. I don’t get no respect’ So I started writing more and more no-respect jokes.”
It was magical. He’d struck a universal chord. All that misery, and now he found out he wasn’t alone. Everyone identified. Everyone else was miserable too! But unlike the rest of them, Rodney made it come out funny.
Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: “Basement?”
Better things were happening to him the second time. The Ed Sullivan Show got him his first national attention and opened television up to him. In 1969 he was able to start his own nightclub, Dangerfield’s, with a borrowed $250,000, mainly so he could work close to his children. There were Johnny Carson shows and beer commercials and a rap video and TV comedy specials and all the rest, a gradual climb to the top. Success, fame, wealth, who knows? Maybe even respect.
But of course, for Rodney, something will always be missing. Love, happiness … whatever. Best not to dig too deep there. At any rate, you know the Guy Who Does It in One will always see the downside. Rest assured that won’t change.
Editor’s picks
“You know, it’s funny,” Rodney muses as we ride it home. “No matter how big an act you are, to get to the stage, you end up walking through the kitchen. I just worked at the Hilton Hotel, you know? You walk through the kitchen. I worked at Caesars Palace — the kitchen. Every place you go, you’re always in the kitchen.”

Before Eddie Murphy became a star, comedy legend Rodney Dangerfield gave a teenage Murphy some advice that turned out to be totally wrong. When a successful Murphy later crossed paths with Dangerfield in a bathroom at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, the older comedian seemed to admit his mistake. "Rodney Dangerfield comes to the urinal right next to me and I look over and he looks at me, and says, 'Hey, who knew?'" Murphy told W Magazine.

When Eddie Murphy was a young, aspiring comedian, he got the worst career advice he's ever heard, and it came from comedy legend Rodney Dangerfield.
Murphy, who started performing stand-up comedy at the age of 15, told W Magazine he met Dangerfield at a comedy club in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in when Murphy was 19.
As a young, brash comedian, Murphy says he was "full of himself" and he asked Dangerfield — who was already a comedy star and was then starring in the movie "Caddyshack" — if he would watch Murphy's act and offer feedback.
Dangerfield obliged, but was no fan of Murphy's act.
"Back then I was really dirty and did … edgy racial stuff," Murphy told W Magazine. "And it's 1980, so it's like this kid on stage doing edgy racial stuff."
"'Hey, kid,'" Murphy says Dangerfield said to him. "'I don't know where you're going to go with that, ya know, the language and the race stuff.'"
However, what Dangerfield definitely got wrong was the idea that Murphy's profanity and edgy material would hinder his path to success. In fact, Murphy soon rocketed to stardom as a cast-member of "Saturday Night Live" (where some of his most popular characters, from Velvet Jones to Mr. Robinson, dealt with issues such as sex and race).
Murphy's stand-up specials were also extremely popular, with "Raw" raking in more than $50 million at the box office in 1987, making it the highest-grossing stand-up comedy concert film ever. Murphy also went on to become one of the biggest box office draws of the 1980s, with blockbuster comedies such as the "Beverly Hills Cop" movie franchise (with more than $735 million in total global box office revenue over three movies, according to Box Office Mojo).
So, while Murphy admits he was initially "crestfallen" by Dangerfield's criticism of his comedy act, the negative critique obviously did nothing to alter Murphy's career trajectory.
And when Murphy again crossed paths with Dangerfield years later — in a bathroom at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas — the older comedian seemed to admit he'd misjudged Murphy's potential for stardom.
"Rodney Dangerfield comes to the urinal right next to me and I look over and he looks at me, and says, 'Hey, who knew?'" Murphy told W Magazine.
Dangerfield died at age 82 in 2004.
Now 58, Murphy was nominated for a 2020 Golden Globe Award for his starring role in the movie "Dolemite is My Name" and he also recently signed a deal with Netflix (worth an undisclosed amount) to create his first stand-up comedy special since 1987's "Raw."

Rover Dangerfield Background Styling
The art you see below was brought to life by animation artist, Ron Dias, for the animated film, Rover Dangerfield (1991). The movie may be forgotten, by Ron's art lives on here. He acted as background color stylist on the film. The images below appear as they do in my personal files on Ron. They were originally mailed to me by Ron years back. The messages and notes written on each were personally penned by him.
Enjoy these lost treasures!

It Turns Out the Naming Rights! Membership Option Was For Real and Someone Is Now Five Hundred Bucks Poorer Presents Nat

The flurry of live-action and animation-blending movies that followed in the wake of Who Framed Roger Rabbit’s groundbreaking, unrepeatable success all set out to be sexy and dark in the same way that Robert Zemeckis’ zeitgeist-capturing masterpiece was but just ended up being inappropriately sexual and unnecessarily dark.
That is most assuredly true of the bizarre 1991 boondoggle Rover Dangerfield, which began life as a Ralph Bakshi-style R-rated comedy for adults to be released late in 1988 but ended up flopping big time in 1991 as a G-rated feature for the whole family.
Yet Rover Dangerfield’s R-rated soul is constantly seeping through. For example, the film’s protagonist, a dog version of Rodney Dangerfield, is introduced rolling Craps, leering at the cleavage of a sexy fellow dog, making crude double entendres and taking about how much he loves Vegas. And why does Rover love Vegas so much? Well, he’s not terribly explicit about it, but he clearly loves Sin City because it’s a place where a degenerate piece of shit like him can indulge his gambling addiction all hours of the day and night, chase showgirls and stick his bone wherever he damn pleases, if you get my crude double entendre. I'm talking about his penis.
But Rover Dangerfield is G for some reason so while it pretty much explicitly lays out that its protagonist is a disturbingly, unnecessarily sexual creature, he’s also a lovable cartoon mutt, so as far as the MPAA is concerned, all of this is conjecture and implication even though, again, this is a cartoon dog that clearly fucks, as evidenced by an opening ditty where he croons lasciviously, “I’m never lonely, I’ve got girls galore, I just got rid of three and now I’m down to four!”
In a jovial, party mood, Rover says to his fellow party dogs of his plans for yet another debauched night out on the town, “We’ll paint the town yellow!” I could be wrong, but I think “yellow” refers to urine. That’s one more urine joke than I would have imagined in a G-rated animated comedy about a city dog who ends up on a farm.
Rover loves Las Vegas partially because it’s full of toadies and sycophants and ass-kissers who, like the supporting cast of every Rodney Dangerfield movie, animated or live-action, simply cannot get enough of him. Why, in Rover Dangerfield he’s got a whole animal entourage on hand to laugh at his jokes.
This is the eighth and final film I will be writing about for No Respect January. I think I’ve figured out why I’m so annoyed by the reaction shots in all of Rodney’s movies of other characters laughing uproariously at his jokes. It’s because this unearned, forced laughter functions as makeshift, de facto cinematic laugh tracks. Only instead of a ghostly assemblage of anonymous laughter, the guffaws for lines like “He’s a real workaholic. You mention work, he gets drunk!” are supposed to emerge organically from farm animals overjoyed by the Catskills comedy stylings of Rover Dangerfield, who is a dog, sure, but also a performer and entertainer not unlike Rodney Dangerfield.
I understandably assumed that Rover’s owner would be an adorable girl or boy who would serve as a surrogate for the kids in the audience. Nope, Rover’s owner is a chorus girl with the physique of a 1960s Playboy playmate and a wardrobe that emphasizes and flatters her bodacious curves.
Rover’s owner is drawn like a masturbatory fantasy. Her boyfriend, Rocky, meanwhile, with his ominously drooping eyebrow and air of brutish menace, looks like an evil Dean Martin dying from consumption.
Rocky is evil on the outside but even more evil on the inside. He’s clearly a one-dimensional, homicidal, philandering sociopath, which makes Rover’s owners’s love for him a little perplexing and not entirely convincing.
In a remarkable display of poor judgment, Connie decides to go on tour, leaving Rover in the care of Rocky, who decides to murder him by throwing him off the Hoover Dam to a horrible, violent death, only instead of shattering all of his bones upon impact, Rover ends up surviving and winds up on a farm. Have I mentioned yet that the movie is rated G?
There is a germ of a good idea, or at least a familiar idea, at the heart of Rover Dangerfield. A lot of the comedian’s biggest successes were fish out of water comedies: Rodney as a vulgar nouveau riche Jewish millionaire in a WASP country club (Caddyshack)! Rodney as a vulgar nouveau riche millionaire at a preppie college (Back to School)!
In a similar, but much stupider vein, Rover Dangerfield put a big city dog on a sleepy old farm and somehow imagined that the kids of the early 1990s would go nuts over an achingly slow farm comedy-drama of self-actualization centered on the achingly vanilla romance involving Rover Dangerfield, confirmed pussy wolfer, and Daisy, who is like a canine version of Andie McDowell: very beautiful and very boring.
Daisy sees the potential in Rover and encourages him to chase his dreams and believe in himself and all the other horse shit you find in kids movies like these.
Love interests and romantic subplots don’t even work in live action Dangerfield movies. What made them think that audiences would go in for the sappy romantic stuff if Dangerfield was playing an anthropomorphic animal? Ah, but Rover Dangerfield isn’t just about farm comedy and bland romance: it’s also about Rodney Dangerfield singing.
Yes, in its sadistic attempt to stretch this flimsy conceit to just barely just feature-length, Rover Dangerfield is a fucking musical whose perpetually wavering momentum grinds to a complete stop so that the red tie-wearing titular canine can croon some of the worst songs ever written.
The worst of a sorry lot is “I’ll Never Do It On a Christmas Tree”, a Yuletide ditty of questionable taste about how Rover has so much respect for the solemnity of Christmas that he would never lustily urinate on a Christmas tree the way he would every other kind.
Like a lot of terrible kiddie movies that somehow got away with a G rating, and thus an unearned opportunity to traumatize kids in a bad way, Rover Dangerfield has such a hard-on for death that it sometimes starts to feel like some bizarre form of animated, family-friendly snuff film.
Rocky, the disturbingly designed boyfriend, who clearly fucks around on his girlfriend, probably beats her up and may even have a Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors-style sadist complex going on, kicks off the plot by trying to murder the titular animal.
After that, the specter of death continues to haunt Rover, and by extension the film. The stakes could not be higher. If Rover shapes up and proves that he can follow directions and fit in on the farm, then he might earn a permanent place there. If not, well, that’s what shotguns and shotgun shells and tough but fair-minded fathers who don’t flinch when it’s time to pull the trigger and send even an animal he likes from this world into the next are for.
Rover Dangerfield really leans into the notion that Rover might end up being put down to create an artificial sense of urgency and just ends up creating a kid’s movie that’s incredibly inappropriate for kids. When it comes to smuggling dark, smutty, scary, child-frightening content in a G-rated family film, Rover Dangerfield gets away with just about everything. Creatively, it gets away with just about nothing.
This has been a long, long day for me. I wouldn’t have clicked play on Amazon if this hadn't run a lean 73 minutes long. Looking at Amazon, I found myself thinking, “73 minutes? That’s nothing. I can power through that easy. Bring it on!” Ten minutes later, I found myself thinking, “Christ, why did I start watching this movie? It’s 73 minutes long. That's a fucking eternity!
Rover Dangerfield ends not just with the clear implication that Rover Dangerfield is a wacky G rated cartoon dog that fucks, but with concrete evidence that Rover Dangerfield’s seed is potent and his sexual appetite rapacious. The film ends with Rover siring a litter of puppies with Daisy that stand as adorable living proof that their parents had sex, and probably a fair amount if Rover’s many suggestive allusions to his sexual desire and lust for the mother of his children are any indication.
Heck, this G-rated smut fest ends with Rover chasing deliriously after his mate in a fit of lust, waggishly assuring us that when he wants to catch Daisy he’ll catch her, and then clearly have even more uninhibited sex. Confusingly and disturbingly enough, however, the puppies chase after Rover as he lustily tries to get his fuck on. Thankfully the movie ends before showing us the puppies watching their parents have sex. That’s merely the very strong implication in a film-closing bit that illustrates the incredible level of miscalculation and bad judgment that defines every aspect of this movie.
In this movie, the dad, who is convinced that he’s going to have to disappoint his son by putting a few bullet holes in Rover’s head, tells his son that Rover does not look intelligent. He’s a dog and he’s wearing a fucking tie. I think that’s a little more advanced than you, farmer psycho, just waiting for your chance to end another life and rationalize it to traumatized sonny boy as part of life’s great cycles of life and death.
Rover Dangerfield is undoubtedly the most poignant failure from this phase of Dangerfield’s career because he clearly wanted to crack this freshly-scrubbed Walt Disney Midwest world of farms and funny farm animals and show-tunes and star-crossed romance so badly and failed on every conceivable level.
Dangerfield didn’t just lend his name and persona and voice to the film: it’s the only film in which he has a solo screenplay credit, although litigation resulted in Harold Ramis sharing a “Story developed” by credit with Dangerfield for working on the script with Dangerfield at a very early stage, before, I would imagine, it became apparent to everyone involved that it would be a world-class embarrassment.
The vulgar, boozy, drug-addled depressed Jewish city slicker was going to win the hearts of middle America as a lovable dog with a song in his heart and a wisecrack perpetually on his lips. It was not to be. Rover Dangerfield plush dolls and figurines were made, but went unsold. The soundtrack featuring the song about how Rover loves Christmas so much he’ll never unleash a firehose-like torrent of urine onto its branches and ornaments, co-written by Rodney himself, was purchased I would imagine primarily, if not exclusively, as a pretty inspired gag gift. Incidentally, if you ever wanted to get me a gag gift, that would be a good idea.

Say what you want about Rover Dangerfield. I cannot and will not stop you. But this movie exists as a testament to the weird and thoughtless cynicism at the heart of all mankind. So go ahead, sling your insults, your quips. Your jeers will make no dent on Rover Dangerfield just as an arrow -shot at the sun by the lost and delirious traveler in the desert- will never knock our giver of life from the sky. Yell all you want. You’re only yelling at the hole within.
See, the joke is he's a dog instead of a human, so his name is Rover instead of Rodney. This is not a good movie, but it's worth watching for a couple of Rodney's one-liners and the fascinating task of trying to figure out what the hell they were going for.

About Back to School
Back to School is a classic comedy featuring Rodney Dangerfield's iconic brand of humor. In the film, Dangerfield stars as wealthy but uneducated Thornton Melon, a father determined to show solidarity with his discouraged son Jason (Keith Gordon) by enrolling in college and setting an example of hard work and determination. Through his college experiences, Thornton discovers that you can't buy an education or happiness and that true success comes from within. Alongside Dangerfield, the film stars an impressive cast of performers, including Burt Young, Sally Kellerman, Robert Downey Jr., Terry Farrell, Ned Beatty, Sam Kinison, and Paxton Whitehead. Kurt Vonnegut also makes a cameo as himself, as does the band Oingo Boingo, led by composer Danny Elfman. Back to School was directed by Alan Metter and executive produced by Estelle Endler, Dangerfield's long-time manager, who sadly passed away during production. The film is dedicated to her memory, as seen in the end credits. Back to School, released in 1986, ranked as the 6th highest-grossing film of that year. It claimed the title of the second highest-grossing comedy film, falling just behind Crocodile Dundee. Global records indicate that the film grossed a whopping $108,634,920, including rental and theatrical revenue. On Rotten Tomatoes, Back to School holds a favorable rating of 87% based on 38 reviews, with an average score of 6.90 out of 10. The site's consensus states that the film provides ample room for Rodney Dangerfield to showcase his comedic talent while presenting an engaging storyline to keep audiences entertained amidst the punchlines.
Back to School Locations
The comedy classic Back to School was filmed in various locations to create a visually appealing backdrop for the story. The majority of the scenes were shot at the University of WisconsinâMadison, which was referred to as Grand Lakes University.

The University of WisconsinâMadison provided a memorable backdrop for the film with its stunning architecture and picturesque campus setting. It is surrounded by many landmarks of interest, such as the Memorial Union Terrace, the Wisconsin State Capitol, and the University of Wisconsin Arboretum. The movie captured the beauty of swimming and diving with scenes filmed at the enchanting Industry Hills Aquatic Club. Its stunning setting provided the perfect backdrop for these captivating moments. The facility boasted an Olympic-sized pool with an impressive water slide and diving board. A trip to both locations could be a worthwhile experience for Back to School fans.

While on campus, Thornton (Rodney Dangerfield) discovers that Jason's (Keith Gordon) cold behavior towards him stems from being a dissatisfied C-student who plans to quit college. Rather than being a member, Jason takes on the role of a towel boy for the diving team. This decision exposes him to rejection from fraternities and harassment from Chas Osborne (William Zabka), a competitive diver and jock. In this challenging situation, Jason lacks companionship, except for his roommate, Derek Lutz (Robert Downey Jr.). Thornton decides to enroll in college alongside him to inspire Jason to persevere.

Attempting to capitalize on the success of comedian Rodney Dangerfield, this animated cartoon tells the story of Rover, a basset hound that looks like the foul-mouthed comic.
Owned by a sexy showgirl in Las Vegas, Rover is captured by her jealous boyfriend and dumped into Hoover Dam. Fortunately, a pair of fishermen haul Rover out, enabling him to venture into the country. Rover is then adopted by a young boy who puts him to work on the farm, which is a new experience for him.
Predictably, Rover is a sluggish city dog. He winces every time he has to do chores, and circumstances always seem to get the best of him. Twice, he is caught in the hen house. The second time, it nearly costs Rover his life, as the boy’s father takes him into the woods to kill him. Just as the father begins to pull the trigger, three wolves jump and attack him. Rover comes to the rescue and saves the father’s life, pulling him home on a sled. Saving the day, Rover victoriously lives and shortly thereafter fathers a family of his own.
Throughout ROVER DANGERFIELD, off-color musical numbers are sung by Rover and his flock of furry friends, with lines such as “heaven is filled with gold-plated fire hydrants.” The animation is creative, but the storyline lacks zip. Overall, the film uses cartoon caricatures to attract kids, but the scatological humor is strictly for adults, making the film unsuitable for either audience. In fact, when asked how he liked the movie, one six-year-old noted defiantly, “Bad.”

Synopsis of Movie
Comedian Rodney “I don’t get no respect” Dangerfield eased up on his naughty nightclub shtick for the G-rated animated feature Rover Dangerfield. The sweaty, bug-eyed comic co-wrote the film’s story (with Ghostbusters director Harold Ramis) and penned lyrics for the film’s songs, as well as providing the voice of the title character.
Rover Dangerfield is a canine translation of Rodney’s stage persona, complete with necktie (but no shirt). The disrespected mutt lives with owner Connie, a blonde showgirl, in glitzy Las Vegas. The beauty treats the pooch well, but her boyfriend Rocky wants Rover gone. When Connie takes a much-needed vacation, the brutish lout stuffs Rover in a sack and tosses him off the Hoover Dam. Two fishermen rescue the drowning doggie, who ends up in farm country with a pair of new owners.
Rover’s city-boy ways don’t earn him any more respect in the rural setting, but he does discover a new sweetheart in dog-next-door Daisy. Just when things start looking up, Rover’s farmer owner, thinking the dog has killed his Thanksgiving turkey, takes Rover out to shoot him. The mutt proves his worth when he defends his master against a pack of hungry wolves, but the ensuing fame brings him back to the attention of Connie. The showgirl comes to take her pet back to the city, forcing Rover to decide where he really belongs.
Though the comedian’s act was toned down to keep things kiddie-friendly, he did manage to sneak in a clever song titled “I’ll Never Do It on a Christmas Tree.” The movie was produced by Hyperion Pictures, who brought The Brave Little Toaster to the big screen four years earlier.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – For six weeks in the fall of 1982, Staten Island got no respect.
That’s because bug-eyed, necktie-tugging stand-up comic Rodney Dangerfield was filming scenes from his new movie, “Easy Money” here.
And some iconic borough locations have passed into film lore because they were part of the filming.
Dangerfield, whose self-deprecating catchphrase was that he “got no respect,” was at the peak of his comedy career having starred in the wildly popular “Caddyshack” movie in 1980.
In “Easy Money,” Dangerfield plays Monty Capuletti, a New Dorp baby photographer who schemes to get his hands on his late mother-in-law’s fortune.
Probably the most famous Island scene from the movie, shot on Oct. 13, 1982, shows Dangerfield and co-star Joe Pesci struggling to carry an enormous cake out of Alfonso’s.
The famed pastry shop had been renamed “Alfonso’s Bakery and Scungilli” for the film.
The Campitiello family – Alfonso; his wife, Diane, and sons Vincent, Anthony and Peter – worked on a trio of movie cakes for the film shoot. They included, among other ingredients, Styrofoam.
“I’ll be making two more real ones when they have the wedding,” Campiteillo said of another “Easy Money” scene that was shot on Staten Island. “Right now, we’re selling scungilli.”
He added, “They will change the sign back.”
The Advance has reported that the iconic Alfonso’s is now for sale after 45 years at it’s well known location at 1899 Victory Blvd.
Owner Anthony Campitiello told the Advance that health concerns had led him to the decision to sell.
FILMING, DRINKING AND FLIRTING
Filming for “Easy Money” was also done on the warm and foggy night of Nov. 3, 1982 at the old L&M Tavern, at the corner of Richmond Road and DeKalb Street in Concord.
The nighttime scene involved Dangerfield stumbling out of the bar and staggering up the street. He turns and curses the bar’s lighted sign, then makes his way into a waiting car that then pulls away from the curb. It took Dangerfield at least eight takes to nail the scene.
The shoot was a draw for L&M regulars and neighborhood types who hung around the film set, including one who was smoking a joint, the Advance reported.
A few Budweiser-drinking girls flirted with members of the film crew, while another woman leaned out of a second-story window on the block to take in the scene.
“My family’s been running this bar for years and years and nothing like this has ever happened before,” Maryalice Sjolander, who owned the tavern along with her husband, Gunnar, told the Advance at the time.
Prior to shooting, Dangerfield stood between film trucks away from onlookers, drinking coffee and going over the scene with production staffers. Some local kids approached him for autographs. Some got them, others didn’t, according to the Advance.
The crew had set up outside the bar as the sky turned dark, with two enormous flood lights perched in a cherrypicker above Richmond Road. A movable camera track was installed so the camera could follow Dangerfield stumbling down the street.
Not everybody in the neighborhood was happy about the shoot.
“Yesterday, people asked Rodney to pose for some pictures in front of the bar,” griped Louie, who was wearing a silver L&M football team jacket. “But he wouldn’t do it. If he can’t take a couple of minutes just to pose for some pictures, to hell with him.”
And some L&M regulars were put out that they couldn’t enjoy a nightcap in the bar that night. Production staffers blocked the door.
“Yeah, that’s OK,” one grumbled. “We only own the place. I’ll tell you, it’s a good thing there’s no hockey game on tonight or there’d be real trouble.”
A home at 57 McVeigh Ave. in New Springville served as Dangerfield’s character’s home, the Advance said. One scene filmed there showed garbage being collected by an old-model city Sanitation truck.
Also used in the filming were Our Lady Queen of Peace R.C. Church in New Dorp as well as Sea View Hospital and Home.
Pieces of the set used to film a hospital scene in “Easy Money” were later incorporated into a health care museum on the grounds of Sea View.
And news photographer extraordinaire Jim Romano got to pose with Dangerfield during the filming of “Easy Money” here.

Say what you want about Rover Dangerfield. I cannot and will not stop you. But this movie exists as a testament to the weird and thoughtless cynicism at the heart of all mankind. So go ahead, sling your insults, your quips. Your jeers will make no dent on Rover Dangerfield just as an arrow -shot at the sun by the lost and delirious traveler in the desert- will never knock our giver of life from the sky. Yell all you want. You’re only yelling at the hole within.
Dogshit. But the dead turkey bit is funny.
I'm not convinced the originally planned R-rated version would have been a good film, but its existence would at least make sense. Why anyone thought kids wanted a saccharine Roger Dangerfield vehicle where he's playing a dog who gets taken out back to be put down is a mystery to me, but then again I saw this VHS in enough homes when I was small to know that you could always cash in by pretending you were a Disney classic. Those poor families.
Some of the one liners are decent. The backgrounds might be the worst in an animated feature.
Am I really taking the time to give you my thoughts on Rover Dangerfield? The futility of it all just hit me. I feel bad enough for wasting my time watching it.
See, the joke is he's a dog instead of a human, so his name is Rover instead of Rodney. This is not a good movie, but it's worth watching for a couple of Rodney's one-liners and the fascinating task of trying to figure out what the hell they were going for. Some sources claim it was conceived as an R-rated movie before compromising with the animation studio. Whatever happened, Rover's Las Vegas showgirl owner's chainsmoking alcoholic wannabe gangster boyfriend puts him in a bag and throws him off the Hoover Dam, and it was still rated G.

You'll laugh! You'll sing! You'll dance! You'll sit up and beg for more!
Rover Dangerfield
[edit]
All night I'd sit up and beg, she told me I was too old to beg!
[after attacking one of the wolves] That one's for the three little pigs!
I guess that's my trouble, no class. I looked up my family tree, two dogs were using it!
Hey folks! I'll never dampen your holidays! [door slams shut] No respect. No respect at all.
Dialogue
[edit]
Rover Dangerfield: [about playing fetch] He throws a stick, you run and get it, you bring it back and he throws it again! I don't get it! I mean, what's the point?
Raffles: Because it makes them happy and it gives them lots of exercise
Rover Dangerfield: If they want exercise, let them run and get it.
Raffles: So what should I do?
Rover Dangerfield: It's very simple. You do nothing.
Rover Dangerfield: Where's Flappy?
Queenie: Carmine fired him. He couldn't remember the routines.
Rover Dangerfield: Oh, I saw that coming. Flappy was dumb. Yeah, he used to walk backwards and wag his head. I mean dumb! Carmine taught him to sit, he forgot how to stand! And when Carmine paper-trained him, that was something. He went right on the paper. The only trouble is, Carmine was reading it!
Turkey: Let me tell you, I won't be here very long.
Rover Dangerfield: I tell ya, the way I see it, you probably won't be around after Christmas!
Turkey: Well, that would suit me just fine! Well, I might have known: There's absolutely nothing to eat here!
Rover Dangerfield: Yeah? Look in a mirror!
Turkey: Oh... I don't get it.
Rover Dangerfield: Don't worry about it, drumstick. You will!
[Rover attacks Rocky]
Rocky: [kicks him off] You dirty mutt!
Connie: Rocky, what are you doing?
Rocky: I thought I was rid of you for good!
Connie: 'Rid of you for good'?
[Connie slaps him in the face]
Rocky: [furiously] What, are you taking the dog's side? Huh?
[Rocky grabs Connie until Rover pushes him, Rover and the other dogs chase him out the door]
Connie: Rover, NAIL HIM!
[Daisy leads rover to the barn and they were coming to piles and piles of hay which had a pair of boxer shorts on top of one stack. Rover is tucking his tie and was about to kiss Daisy, but then she turned his face and made him look as the shorts seemed to move. And where this made Rover curious of what was in or under the boxer shorts. As he looked, there popped out a puppy which strongly resembled him. he heard a yip and saw another puppy that look resembled him and one pop out of the hay, another one resembled him barking underneath the bucket and there was one puppy who looked like Daisy who was teething on the hose and she look at her mother and her new father whom beams a smile]
Rover Dangerfield: Hey, i'm a father of five!
[Another puppy then fell on Rover's face and Rover held out the final puppy in his litter]
Rover Dangerfield: Six!
[Then the puppy speaks to him in a child-like voice]
Rover's Son: Hey, take it easy, I'm only a pup.
[Rover hugs his son and put his paw over Daisy}
Rover Dangerfield: Hey, boys. Daddy's home!

A Life of No Respect Lives On

When he was a child and lost his parents at the beach, he asked a policeman, âDo you think weâll ever find them?â âI donât know,â came the reply. âThereâs so many places they could hide.â
No breaks, no how, no way. His father worked in a bank and got caught stealing pens. Research reveals that Rodney Dangerfield is the sap in his own family tree. The line has never been broken. Elevator operators eye him and always say the same thing: âBasement?â On a night out in a Chinese restaurant, he opens his fortune cookie and gets the check from the next table. The trauma reaches into the intimate parts of his life. He has become such a maladroit lover that he caught a peeping Tom booing him. His wife âcut me down to once a month. Iâm lucky. Two guys I know she cut out completely.â
The weeks of his life are run-on reminders of his inferiority. No luck. No chance. And of courseâas a connoisseur of the hairsbreadth art of stand-up comedy will tell youâno respect. These components of Rodney Dangerfieldâs fractured comic mask form one of the unlikeliest success stories around. Dangerfield was a has-been even before he was anyone at all.
âI dropped out of show business once,â he often confesses in his act. âBut nobody noticed.â
He went into business selling paint, and scribbled jokes between appointments. By the time most businessmen are playing chicken with their first heart attack, Rodney was planning his comeback from nowhere. At 45, he made his first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. He was 47 when he went on Carson for the first of 63 appearances. Now, at 58, Dangerfield has a rambunctious new comedy album out and his first starring role in a Hollywood movie.
In Caddyshack, Rodney shows up as a real estate developer who dresses in color combinations out of a Sherwin-Williams sample book and outrages the gentry at the local country club with such reflections as, âYou look at that kid, you know why tigers eat their young.â Rodney must compete for attention in the film with alumni of Saturday Night Live and one mechanical gopher. He draws more laughs than the TV kids and chews up at least as much of the screen as the rodent.
Dangerfield, who keeps his traveling to a minimum and works as much as possible out of his own club on Manhattanâs East Side, has put together one of the best comedy acts in the trade by dealing shamelessly in things other comics struggle to hideâlike fear, anger and humiliation. In performance, Dangerfield is the enemy of poise.
A minute after he hits the lights, his brow throws off sweat like a lawn sprinkler. His eyes bulge. His hands claw at his throat. He may be trying to loosen his tie, but it looks as if he is trying to strangle himself.
The whole performance is a screwball incarnation of the comedianâs deepest nightmare: flop sweat, the purgatorial feeling of bombing out, when every joke falls like a barbell and the only laughs come when you introduce the band. Other guys fight their way past flop sweat, or cool it out. For Rodney Dangerfield, cool is a dial on a Fedders. He sets fear on parade, and all its consequences are his best punch lines.
Jack Benny once told Dangerfield that his signature lineââI donât get no respectââcuts right to everyoneâs soul. Indeed, Dangerfieldâs best comedy is based on a futile lashing out against misery, often sexual and always social.
âComedy is essentially mood, not a series of one-liners,â Dangerfield says. âEvery joke is a complete story.â
The way he tells one, the audience can often see a whole life in a setup, and a fate in a punch line. âDuring sex my wife wants to talk to me,â he confesses, then adds: âThe other night she called me from a hotel.â
Even Dangerfieldâs silliest gags have the sting of truth. How accurate they may be about his own life is another matter. He talks about âcomedic license,â but whether he is doing a shotgun discourse on marriage or about growing up Jewish and poor in a subsection of New York City that is well-off and Waspy, he seems to be drawing from deep roots. Rodney was Jacob Cohen when the neighborhood kids had names âlike Marianne and Biff.â When they were on the tennis courts, he was delivering groceries. He started writing gags when he was 15. At 19 he was playing the Catskills for $12 a week.
Jobs outside the Catskills were even harder to come by. He got a spot as a singing waiter at a Brooklyn joint called the Polish Falcon, where the emcee was a woman named Sally Marr. Rodney hung around with her I son, who was in the Navy then. He called himself Lenny Bruce.
If the Catskills were the training ground for that time, a Broadway drugstore called Hansonâs was the laboratory. Rodney, Lenny and a lot of other young guys hung out in the back booths, nursing coffee, nailing each other with wild ideas, gags, nutty notions for routines. A few made it out of the drugstore. Some, like Joe Ancis, were brilliant in the booth and on the street; Bruce once admitted that he owed maybe a third of his act to Joe. But Ancis trembled before the prospect of flop sweat. He never went onstage. Others, like Rodney, fought the flops, but never got out quite far enough. When he married Singer Joyce Indig, he was close to 30 and still far from the big time. He worried that long weeks working joints on the road would hurt the marriage. So he packed it in and started selling paint.
During that period, he watched Lenny become a storm center, a genius and a martyr. He saw Joe Ancis go into the construction business. Rodney had two children, Brian and Melanie, but his marriage was rocky and finally fell apart. Rodney raised the kids. He also put together a new act and got a taste for a new life. Says Dangerfield:
âI asked the club owner not to put my name in the paper, to make up another name. When he came up with Rodney Dangerfield I thought he was crazy, but I was depressed enough to go along with it. I figured, if youâre gonna change your name you might as well change it.â
By 1967, he crashed the Sullivan Show, and by 1969 he had enough mileage behind him to settle down and open a club, from which he has been sallying forth ever since, pretty much at his own pleasure.
Rodney says a lot of offers come in now: movies, âdozensâ of TV pilots. His attitude toward them is âI donât want to spend my time poring over scripts and memorizing. When you do standup, you are the guy on. Live entertainment is the only real medium.â It is a medium filled with ghosts. You can hear Lenny Bruce beneath the skin of some of Rodneyâs cracks, though Dangerfield disclaims any specific influence. Both of them share the same manic irreverence, the same compulsive wise-mouthing and fearless telling of truth.
They also shared the same pal, Joe Ancis, who has been boarding with Rodney and his children ever since Joe separated from his wife a couple of years back. Although Rodney occasionally pays $50 for a gag, he cooks up most of his own material, saying what he feels, working the jokes out in front of small audiences until they flow just right. âI play with a joke a long time,â Dangerfield admits. âI came up with this one sitting in the sauna at the health club yesterday: âWhen I got married all the property was put in two names. And her motherâs.â â
The hands reach for his throat. The eyes bulb out of his face like two Christmas ornaments dropped into a holiday pudding. âDo you think thatâs funny?â he asks.
At age 66, Rodney Dangerfield is the youngest older comedian - or might he be the oldest younger comedian? - on the block. Whichever, Mr. Dangerfield, who opened a two-week engagement at the Mark Hellinger Theater on Tuesday, is the rare comic whose popularity transcends generations.
In contrast to the mature crowds that flocked to Jackie Masonâs ââWorld According to Me!,ââ Mr. Dangerfieldâs raucous opening-night audience seemed less than half his age.
Having discovered the feisty saucer-eyed complainer with his hang-dog expression and pugnacious jaw in such movies as ââCaddyshackââ and ââBack to School,ââ this audience greeted him with the sort of enthusiasm normally reserved for respected aging rock stars.
The phenomenon of this veteran comicâs popularity among the young brings up an interesting paradox. To his own generation, his savage, bellowing self-deprecation and wife-bashing have made him something like the male equivalent of Phyllis Diller or a Jackie Gleason stripped of innocence and faith. But to those half his age, Mr. Dangerfieldâs resentful roars mark him as the godfather of the cutting edge of comedy. To them, he is the prototype for hostile rock-influenced ââscreamersââ like Sam Kinison, to whose career Mr. Dangerfield has given crucial support.
Onstage, Mr. Dangerfield is a verbal boxer who dances lightly around a theme, then closes in for the kill, delivering a barrage of one- and two-line punches in an accelerated rapid-fire delivery that becomes a orgiastic flurry of jabs.
The pleasure in watching Mr. Dangerfield perform comes more from his delivery than from his material. He never loses his timing as he lands his often smutty punches in a virile drill-instructorâs growl that deepens and expands as the action speeds up.
Mr. Dangerfieldâs endless jokes about his failing sexual powers, his putdowns of marriage, his reflections on ugliness, obesity and stupidity, may be only slightly more sophisticated than the ââtake my wife, pleaseââ school of stand-up humor out of which he emerged. By injecting it with freewheeling obscenity, he has modernized this school and given the jokes a contemporary immediacy.
Mr. Dangerfieldâs present pinnacle of popularity makes his patented ââno respectââ shtick, which is no longer the center of his act, ring with a certain irony. If in leaner times he represented a working-class everyman railing against his own ordinariness, today he canât help but look like a winner who commands loads of respect and whose style of combativeness is offered as successful strategy for survival.
In his Broadway engagement, Mr. Dangerfield is sticking to his customarily narrow range of subjects: sex, physical ugliness, more sex, old age, still more sex, drugs and alcohol and yet again more sex.
Mr. Dangerfieldâs sexual humor can be funny, though it does begin to wear thin after the umpteenth joke about impotence and meager anatomical endowment. It must be said, however, that in the age of the sex therapist, these jokes tap into primal anxieties that are only fed by todayâs sexualized climate. There is finally something liberating about the free-floating hostility in which Mr. Dangerfield invites his audiences to wallow. In one pithy bit, Mr. Dangerfield pretends to be flicking a television remote control switch. As an imaginary parade of talking heads rolls by, he lambasts it with contemptuous profanity. âThatâs how I get my hate out,ââ he says. Who among us hasnât felt the same disgust while wandering through the video wasteland?â
Many labels were hung on Rodney Dangerfield during his long, frenetic heyday as the funniest joke teller in America. His was âthe comedy of angst,â or âthe comedy of anxiety,â or âthe comedy of the loser.â What it really was was the comedy of funny. It was the comedy of laughter. His act wasnât conceptual or observational or stream-of-consciousness; it was a bunch of jokes.
The jokes tended to be self-deprecating and selfpitying and what they said at heart was âWeâre all in this together.â But weâre not all in it together anymore. Rodney Dangerfield died at 82 Tuesday in New York after a long series of illnesses and operations.
âI donât get no respectâ was, of course, his signature line, but to the end he had the respect, and the gratitude, of everybody who ever laughed so hard they cried.
In the â70s and â80s, Dangerfieldâs appearances on âThe Tonight Show With Johnny Carsonâ were major television events, whether in college dorms or, who knows, retirement villages. Carson loved comedians and found Rodney so relentless in his pursuit of the ever-elusive next laugh that just the idea of Dangerfield amused him.
Dangerfield would come out from behind the curtain and do five or six minutes of prepared material, then sit on the couch and do several more minutes of jokes thinly disguised as conversation, Carson barely getting a word in except to set up more jokes. Heâd ask Dangerfield, âHowâs your health?â and Dangerfield would do a few minutes of health jokes, always involving his physician, the mythical âDr. Vinnie Boom Botz,â being referred to of late by David Letterman on his own show.
He didnât like it when he visited his doctor one time and was told he was crazy, Dangerfield recalled. âI said, âOh yeah? Well I want another opinion.â The doctor says, âOkay â youâre ugly, too.â â
Even at the dentistâs he was plagued. âI told my dentist, what can I do about having such yellow teeth? He said, âWear a brown tie.â â
One night Dangerfield tore through his sit-down routine so fast that he ended early and so, mopping his brow with a handkerchief, no more jokes available, he turned to Carson and simply asked, âSo whatâs new with you?â Carson laughed so hard at this that he literally fell off his chair. They were gorgeous together.
Though he had two careers as a comedian â the first, as Jack Roy, began at the age of 15 â it was the second one, started late in life, that made Dangerfield a star and, in his rumpled black suit, solid red tie and unmade bed of a face, an American icon.
The success in other peopleâs clubs and on TV enabled him to open Dangerfieldâs, a homey comedy club on Manhattanâs East Side. Dangerfield would roam through the crowd in his trademark silk bathrobe, greeting guests and watching the new comics. He was infallibly generous about giving young talent exposure at his club, and on his memorable HBO specials, where Roseanne Barr made her first big splash. He supported one of the most audacious and irreverent comics ever, the great Sam Kinison.
Dangerfield was thoroughly hip; he âgotâ all the jokes, including the ones he didnât tell. He got all the jokes, he was all the jokes. Never did he break up at his own material, though. He was too worried about it. He slaved over it â sometimes with co-writers â into the wee hours, scribbling jokes on the lined pages of big notebooks.
His huge popularity may have been a reaction to all the pseudo-intellectual comics who stood before brick walls and talked about their neuroses. Dangerfield didnât talk about his neuroses; he talked about how little success he was having in bed. âI asked one girl if she was going to hate herself in the morning. She said, âI hate myself now.â â
Or: âI remember one date I had, we ran into some guy she knew and she introduced us. She said, âSteve, this is Rodney. Rodney, this is goodbye.â â
Eventually he was able to star in such movies as âEasy Moneyâ and âBack to School,â respectably funny if not artful comedies, and in âCaddyshack,â now a cult hit so beloved that some of its fans know the whole script by heart. Dangerfield plays a boor, a vulgarian, the ugly American. It was a stretch, but he brought it off.
Even in his movie roles, the jokes were on him â ridiculing the way he looked or talked or barged through life. He was a study in manic misery, hilarious homeliness, Emmett Kelly with a voice.
Perhaps if Steinbeckâs Tom Joad or Kafkaâs Joseph K had been stand-up comics, they might have been something like Rodney Dangerfield.
No, wait â not at all. Forget that stuff. There was only one Rodney â one put-upon, perpetually pained, always discouraged Rodney. If he looked for that famous silver living, it would fall out of a cloud and hit him on the head. His was a humor that, like so many of the great comics of his generation (though his popularity spanned several generations), grew out of pain. Born Jacob Cohen, he remembered all his life how teachers â not just students, but teachers â made anti-Semitic remarks about him in front of classmates at New Yorkâs P.S. 99.
And so he told jokes about being a miserable kid. But not about that aspect of being a miserable kid. The anger never came out in the comedy â not directly. He was a professional joke teller, not a guy looking for psychoanalysis from an audience in a nightclub, so you got jokes and gags, not anecdotes about the way it really was.
âMy mother had morning sickness after I was born,â heâd say of his earliest days.
âMy old man didnât help, either. One time I was kidnapped. They sent back a piece of my finger. He said he wanted more proof!â
âI was lost at the beach once and a cop helped me look for my parents. I said to him, âYou think weâll find them?â He said, âI donât know, kid. Thereâs so many places they could hide.â â
Thus, according to his act â the way Chaplinâs or Keatonâs or Harold Lloydâs characters were established â the patterns of this Rodneyâs ramshackle life were immutably established.
âThe other day they asked me to leave a bar I was drinking in. They said they wanted to start the happy hour.â
âOnce the cops arrested me for jaywalking. The crowd shouted, âDonât take him alive!â â
The litany of abuse would be punctuated with the occasional âI tell ya, I donât get no respect. No respect at all.â The crowd would cheer.
And then back to the jokes.
The no-respect theme was encouraged by one of the most artful and adored of all stand-ups, Jack Benny. âHe was an ace. He was a doll,â Dangerfield recalled in a 1979 interview. âAnd he says to me, âRodney, Iâm cheap and Iâm 39, thatâs my image, but your âno respectâ thing, thatâs into the soul of everybody. Everybody can identify with that. Everyone gets cut off in traffic, everyone gets stood up by a girl, kids are rude to them, whatever.â He says to me, âEvery day something happens where people feel they didnât get respect.â â
No matter how Dangerfield complained onstage about how life treated him, the comic never exploited it for pathos or poignancy. Still, there was just a trace of it in a soliloquy in which he talked about the fact that nobody ever gave him âone of these,â and made the âokayâ sign, the little circle, with his thumb and finger. So if you saw him in the street after the show or in a club later or anywhere, he would tell an audience, it would be doing him a great service just to flash him âone of these.â
He figured it wasnât much to ask. âYou know what the trouble with me is? I appeal to everyone who can do me absolutely no good,â heâd mockingly lament. âAt my age, if I donât drink, donât smoke, and eat only certain foods, what can I look forward to? From this point on, if I take excellent care of myself â Iâll get very sick and die.â
And so he did.
But he left behind infinite echoes of laughter, laughter that survives somehow even if it appears to have evaporated. And who knows but that right now, at this very moment, someone, somewhere is giving Rodney âone of these.â

This one is Owen’s fault. Earlier this year, he held a Rabbit showing of two animated movies. The second feature of the night was Titanic: The Legend Goes on, which is poorly animated and utterly incomprehensible – but it’s the first movie that’s more relevant to the season…
Rover Dangerfield is an animated movie that was created by, you guessed it, Frank Stallone Rodney Dangerfield. Originally intended for adults, it was dramatically retooled during production for younger audiences resulting in a weird tonal mishmash of a movie that pleased nobody. Even Rodney hated it; he barely mentions it in his books, and supposedly left the premiere halfway through. Nothing I say can do justice to the experience of watching Rover Dangerfield. It’s juvenile and unfunny to anyone over the age of six, but it’s also bafflingly dark and unpleasant. (Spoilers in the next paragraph, if anyone cares.)
Yes, I’m really using a spoiler for the plot of Rover Dangerfield.
Rover drinks, smokes, and is apparently a hit with The Lady Dogs. He’s owned by a showgirl who, if the production timelines lined up better, I would assume was a ripoff of Jessica Rabbit. Her mobster boyfriend throws Rover off of the Hoover Dam. Rover ends up at a farm, where he very nearly gets the Old Yeller treatment when a comic relief turkey character is killed by wolves. At the end of the movie, Mobster Boyfriend is *also* thrown off the Hoover Dam, and the movie ends by making sure we know that This Dog Fvcks by showing us the ugliest cartoon puppies you’ll ever see.
But. The reason why I’m making this thread is this song. This bizarre, baffling song from midway through the movie. When we saw it during Owen’s screening, I swore then and there I’d make a header for it come the holiday season – and I keep my word, especially for stupid, inconsequential things like this. Don’t worry about context; there barely is any and it doesn’t help anyway. People of The Avocado, let me introduce you to “I’d Never Do It On a Christmas Tree”…
And, as a bonus, please enjoy this brief slideshow of Rover Dangerfield merchandise. I have no idea HOW there was merchandise for this movie because the retooling pushed its release back by three years and it was only released theatrically in a handful of cities, but, like every other animated movie of the era, it had a wave of Applause products. And they sure are something.
Have a good night!

The animation boom that began with Who Framed Roger Rabbit has produced its share of oddities: feature-length cartoons about dinosaurs (The Land Before Time), talking kitchenware (The Brave Little Toaster), and rain forest elves (the upcoming FernGully). But the daffiest duck of all has to be Rover Dangerfield, a project that by pouring the soul, shtick, and bugging eyes of Rodney Dangerfield into ”funny animal” form begs to be taken as a kiddie classic.
Why would Dangerfield, who after the 1986 hit Back to School seemed to vanish from the planet, choose this bizarro project as his comeback? He’s enough of a cartoon in real life: All that tie tugging and shoulder shrugging carries an outsize quality, and his rim-shot tales of ”no respect” are funny precisely because they hover on the edge of unreality. When this dumpy, red- faced, middle-aged guy gripes that his wife likes to talk to him during sex and — yeahhh — last week called him from a motel, we laugh because he’s a walking caricature of domestic discomfort.
It’s not surprising, then, that Rover‘s bright, professional animation (directed by Jim George and Bob Seeley) uncannily captures Dangerfield’s grabby swagger. But there’s a reason this movie received only a quickie theatrical release — in places like Sacramento and Orlando, judging from the critics’ blurbs on the cassette box — before hitting video stores. Rover Dangerfield can’t decide whether it wants to play to the Borscht Belt or the sandbox. It’s a children’s film, all right, if your kids feel at home in the blackjack pit.
The opening scenes alone are enough to make Peggy Charren reconsider her retirement. Owned by a long-legged Las Vegas chorus girl, Rover (dialogue and voice supplied by Dangerfield) is a canine high roller who plays back-alley craps with bones, keeps his pals in stitches with lines like ”When I looked up my family tree, two dogs were usin’ it” (yeahhh), and sings the praises of the Vegas neon nightlife with a tune called ”It’s a Dog’s Life.” That’s before his owner’s Evil Boyfriend throws Rover off the Hoover Dam in a gunnysack. Hardened Road Runner fans can shrug off that scene, but it might make little ones choke on their Pudding Pops.
Rover gets rescued and ends up on a farm, where a towheaded kid talks his daddy into letting him keep the misshapen pup. That’s the end of the story line as such — even though there’s an hour more to go — and it’s also where Rover Dangerfield turns downright schizophrenic. On the one hand, it pokes merciless fun at yokels who live in the rural slow lane (”I’m on a farm!” crows Rover. ”How quaint! I’ve seen ’em on TV!”). On the other hand, it introduces a love interest in the form of a female collie named Daisy, to whom Rover croons not one, but two glutinous romantic ballads: ”I’d Give Up a Bone for You” and ”I’m in Love With the Dog Next Door.”
Admittedly, Rover has its share of lowbrow yuks whenever Dangerfield (who executive produced, wrote the script, and cowrote the songs) lets his dog-star be a slob. There’s one song here — ”I’d Never Do It on a Christmas Tree,” about exactly what it says — that should have kids rolling on the rug in bad-taste delight. And Rover’s one-liners to a snooty barnyard turkey carry the rude snap of Dangerfield’s best stand-up work. But at the climax, when Rover’s future looks grim and Daisy says to him, ”Of course I believe in you — you’re a good dog,” the miscalculation becomes actively surreal.

Rover Dangerfield is a 1991 American animated musical comedy film starring the voice talent of comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who also wrote and co-produced the film. It is about a street dog named Rover, who is owned by a Las Vegas showgirl. Rover gets dumped off Hoover Dam by the showgirl’s boyfriend. However, rather than drowning, Rover ends up on a farm.
This is one of those movies that used to be shown all the time on HBO, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network in the 1990s that has a lot of sentimental nostalgic value to a lot of people, myself included.
I love this movie, I think the animation is fantastic, this is done by Hyperion Animation, the same team that did other nostalgic 80s/90s animated fare like The Brave Little Toaster and Bebe’s Kids just to name a few things.
The voice work overall is very good, Rodney Dangerfield can usually boost even the worst movies by having himself appear in it, you’ve also got Susan Blu, Dana Hill, Gregg Berger, Tress MacNeille, Ronnie Schell, Bob Bergen in the cast giving good performance as well.
The songs are very catchy and memorable…
I mean, it’s just a delightful movie especially if you grew up with it around the time it came out, it’s just hard not to love.
Does it have its’ faults? Absolutely. For one thing, there are a couple characters overall that really are just one note and have nothing interesting about them at all, especially Rocky who is just a generic bad guy.
The story overall is a been there done there storyline, the fish out of water storyline that has been done better in movies like Doc Hollywood amongst many others and they don’t really add anything new to make it stand out on its’ own.
Probably the biggest fault of the film is that you can definitely tell it was tone down from it was originally suppose to be, when this was in development, the plan was to do an R rated animated film to fit more into Rodney Dangerfield’s style of comedy but Warner Bros. wanted it tone down to a G rating to sell to kids….that and also Rodney Dangerfield and Warner Bros. weren’t on the best of terms after the Caddyshack II debacle so this may be one of those things where a lot of the film was edited without Dangerfield involved. But this definitely felt like a different movie that Dangerfield signed on to at first. It would’ve been very interesting to see what an R rated take on this would’ve been.
Rover Dangerfield isn’t anywhere near the same levels of a Disney or Pixar movie but it doesn’t need to be. It does enough to get a lot of enjoyment and entertainment value from the great animation, solid voice cast, good music, and just nostalgia value, it’s got flaws, yes, but it still has a special place in my heart, it’s just a fun enjoyable movie to watch. It’s not quite up there with stuff like Chipmunk Adventure or Ducktales The Movie where I can watch it numerous times in a row but it’s still a fun enjoyable movie.

This quality children's animated flick shows how versatile Dangerfield can be. Ask most stand-up comedians known for being on the dirty side to write a G-rated screenplay and they wouldn't at all know how to go about it. But Dangerfield does, in this good (but not great) comic and somewhat chessy and predictable, but that's par for all kid flicks, film. Good songs include "It's a dog's life and I love it" and the amusing "I'll never do it on a Christmas tree". Great looking animation of Dangerfield as a dog, and the best K-9 one-liners

Jack Roy (born Jacob Rodney Cohen; November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004), better known by the pseudonym Rodney Dangerfield, was an American stand-up comedian, actor, screenwriter, and producer. He was known for his self-deprecating one-liner humor, his catchphrase "I don't get no respect!" and his monologues on that theme.
He began his career working as a stand-up comic at the Fantasy Lounge in New York City. His act grew in popularity as he became a mainstay on late-night talk shows throughout the 1960s and 1970s, eventually developing into a headlining act on the Las Vegas casino circuit. His catchphrase "I don't get no respect!" came from an attempt to improve one of his stand-up jokes. "I played hide and seek; they wouldn't even look for me." He thought the joke would be stronger if it used the format: "I was so ..." beginning ("I was so poor," "He was so ugly," "She was so stupid," etc.).[clarification needed] He tried "I get no respect," and got a much better response from the audience; it became a permanent feature of his act and comedic persona.

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Never did get no respect
The boy who would one day be Rodney Dangerfield started selling one-liners to comedians at age 15, and was doing stand-up at 17 as "Jack Roy". He performed comedy for ten years with little success, always holding down a day job to pay the bills. In 1951, he quit comedy in disgust and sold aluminum siding for 12 years before stepping on stage again.
Afraid of bombing, he didn't want either of his names connected with the expected bad reviews, so at his first "comeback" gig, he asked the club manager to make up a name for him. "Any name at all, just don't put my name in the ad." Thus Rodney Dangerfield was born. A guest spot on The Ed Sullivan Show led to dozens of appearances on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. Dangerfield's nightclub, cleverly called Dangerfield's, was quickly successful, and gave Dangerfield steady work.
His schtick was the perpetual loser, but Dangerfield didn't coin his most famous line -- "I don't get no respect" -- until 1972, when The Godfather, with its overtly serious theme of "respect", needed deflating. Caddyshack (1980) made him a movie star, and his comedy album, No Respect, won a Grammy in 1981. He was the voice (and author and producer) of Rover Dangerfield (1991), and he played Juliette Lewis's incestuous father in Natural Born Killers (1994).
In late August of 2004, Dangerfield checked into a hospital for heart valve replacement surgery, and cracked one last joke when reporters asked about the operation. "If things go right, I'll be there about a week, and if things don't go right, I'll be there about an hour and a half." During the surgery, he fell into a coma. He briefly regained consciousness in early October, kissing his wife and smiling for the doctors. Dangerfield slipped back into a coma, dying several days later. His tombstone is engraved, "There goes the neighborhood".

Biography[]
A street dog named Rover, who is owned by a Las Vegas showgirl. Rover gets dumped off Hoover Dam by the showgirl's abusive boyfriend. However, rather than drowning, Rover survives and ends up being adopted by a family of farmers. Rover has difficulty adjusting to life on the farm, but with the help of Daisy, the beautiful dog next door, and the other dogs on the farm, he succeeds in earning his keep. Rover spends Christmas with the family, and begins to fall in love with Daisy, who returns his affections. However, one night, a pack of wolves attempt to kill the Christmas turkey on the farm. Rover attempts to save the animal, but ends up caught by Cal while holding the dead bird, looking as if he killed it. Cal takes Rover into the woods in order to put him down, but is attacked by the wolves. Rover manages to fight the wolves off, and brings the other farm dogs to get an injured Cal home.
Rover's heroics make the papers, allowing Eddie and Connie to find out where he is. Connie travels to the farm and brings Rover back to Vegas, where Rover begins to miss his life on the farm. While Rover happily listens, the thugs proceed to reveal that they set him up and imply that they are going to murder him by throwing him into the Hoover Dam.
Some time later, Rover, missing Daisy, becomes depressed. Connie, realizing her old companion met someone, takes Rover back to the farm to stay. Rover is reunited with Daisy, who reveals to him that he is now a father, unveiling six puppies. The story ends with Rover teaching his kids how to play cards, and playfully chasing Daisy around the farmyard.

You'll laugh! You'll sing! You'll dance! You'll sit up and beg for more!
Rover Dangerfield
[edit]
All night I'd sit up and beg, she told me I was too old to beg!
[after attacking one of the wolves] That one's for the three little pigs!
I guess that's my trouble, no class. I looked up my family tree, two dogs were using it!
Hey folks! I'll never dampen your holidays! [door slams shut] No respect. No respect at all.
Dialogue
[edit]
Rover Dangerfield: [about playing fetch] He throws a stick, you run and get it, you bring it back and he throws it again! I don't get it! I mean, what's the point?
Raffles: Because it makes them happy and it gives them lots of exercise
Rover Dangerfield: If they want exercise, let them run and get it.
Raffles: So what should I do?
Rover Dangerfield: It's very simple. You do nothing.
Rover Dangerfield: Where's Flappy?
Queenie: Carmine fired him. He couldn't remember the routines.
Rover Dangerfield: Oh, I saw that coming. Flappy was dumb. Yeah, he used to walk backwards and wag his head. I mean dumb! Carmine taught him to sit, he forgot how to stand! And when Carmine paper-trained him, that was something. He went right on the paper. The only trouble is, Carmine was reading it!
Turkey: Let me tell you, I won't be here very long.
Rover Dangerfield: I tell ya, the way I see it, you probably won't be around after Christmas!
Turkey: Well, that would suit me just fine! Well, I might have known: There's absolutely nothing to eat here!
Rover Dangerfield: Yeah? Look in a mirror!
Turkey: Oh... I don't get it.
Rover Dangerfield: Don't worry about it, drumstick. You will!
[Rover attacks Rocky]
Rocky: [kicks him off] You dirty mutt!
Connie: Rocky, what are you doing?
Rocky: I thought I was rid of you for good!
Connie: 'Rid of you for good'?
[Connie slaps him in the face]
Rocky: [furiously] What, are you taking the dog's side? Huh?
[Rocky grabs Connie until Rover pushes him, Rover and the other dogs chase him out the door]
Connie: Rover, NAIL HIM!
[Daisy leads rover to the barn and they were coming to piles and piles of hay which had a pair of boxer shorts on top of one stack. Rover is tucking his tie and was about to kiss Daisy, but then she turned his face and made him look as the shorts seemed to move. And where this made Rover curious of what was in or under the boxer shorts. As he looked, there popped out a puppy which strongly resembled him. he heard a yip and saw another puppy that look resembled him and one pop out of the hay, another one resembled him barking underneath the bucket and there was one puppy who looked like Daisy who was teething on the hose and she look at her mother and her new father whom beams a smile]
Rover Dangerfield: Hey, i'm a father of five!
[Another puppy then fell on Rover's face and Rover held out the final puppy in his litter]
Rover Dangerfield: Six!
[Then the puppy speaks to him in a child-like voice]
Rover's Son: Hey, take it easy, I'm only a pup.
[Rover hugs his son and put his paw over Daisy}
Rover Dangerfield: Hey, boys. Daddy's home!

Back to School is a 1986 American comedy film starring Rodney Dangerfield, Keith Gordon, Sally Kellerman, Burt Young, Terry Farrell, William Zabka, Ned Beatty, Sam Kinison, Paxton Whitehead, Robert Downey Jr., M. Emmet Walsh, and Adrienne Barbeau. It was directed by Alan Metter. The plot centers on a wealthy but uneducated father (Dangerfield) who goes to college to show solidarity with his discouraged son Jason (Gordon) and learns that he cannot buy an education or happiness.
Kurt Vonnegut has a cameo as himself, as does the band Oingo Boingo, whose frontman Danny Elfman composed the score for the film. The University of Wisconsin–Madison was used as a backdrop for the movie, although it was called "Grand Lakes University". The diving scenes were filmed at the since-demolished Industry Hills Aquatic Club in the City of Industry, California.
Before the end credits, the message "For ESTELLE Thanks For So Much" is shown in dedication to Estelle Endler, one of the executive producers of the film, who died during production. She was Dangerfield's long-time manager, who helped him get into films such as Caddyshack.[3]
Plot
[edit]
Thornton Melon, a child of Italian immigrants, returns from school one day to his father's tailor shop, bearing a report card with poor grades. His ambition is to go into his father's line of work, but his stern father warns Thornton "If a man has no education, he's got nothing."
As decades pass, Thornton Anglicizes his surname to "Melon" and becomes a self-made corporate giant, with a successful chain of plus-size clothing stores and numerous other business ventures. A series of photographs show him acquiring property and having a son named Jason. In the present, Jason is now a college student who has been avoiding his father despite their previous closeness. Thornton is now widowed from Jason's mother, and has remarried to a gold digger named Vanessa. Thornton has reached his breaking point when Vanessa splurges on an expensive party and decides he wishes to see Jason. He divorces Vanessa for adultery and instructs Lou, his bodyguard and chauffeur, to take him to Grand Lakes University.
On the campus, Thornton learns that the reason for Jason's distant attitude with his father was that he is a C-student, unhappy with college life, and intends to drop out. He is a towel boy for the diving team instead of a member, was rejected by the fraternities, is antagonized by diver and jock Chas Osborne, and has no friends except for his roommate Derek Lutz. Thornton motivates him to stay in college by deciding to enroll alongside him. Despite Thornton's lack of academic qualifications, the dean David Martin admits him when he bribes Martin with a donation for a new campus building.
Thornton's bribery earns him the wrath of Dr. Philip Barbay, dean of the business school. His displeasure is further exacerbated by Thornton's canny practical experience clashing with Barbay's hypothetical theorizing in class and ivory tower ways. Thornton also develops a romantic interest in Barbay's girlfriend, the literature professor Dr. Diane Turner. Meanwhile, Jason begins to attract the interest of Valerie Desmond, a girl who Chas has been trying to impress. Thornton instantly becomes a popular man on campus, throwing huge parties and exhibiting generosity to the fellow students. Jason earns a spot on the diving team, after Thornton, a former diver himself, convinces the diving coach to reconsider his abilities. Despite all this, Jason still feels he is living in his father's shadow.
As a student, even though Diane is inspiring a deeper appreciation of literature, Thornton prefers partying to studying. He hires a team of professionals to complete his assignments, including Kurt Vonnegut to write a paper on Vonnegut for literature class. To Thornton's surprise, Diane gives the paper a failing grade for obviously not being his own work, and she becomes disillusioned by his frivolous behavior. Jason is also upset with Thornton for trivializing education, while mistakenly believing Thornton bribed the diving coach into accepting him on the team.
Dr. Barbay accuses Thornton, in the presence of Dean Martin, of academic fraud. He challenges Thornton to an oral examination conducted by all of his professors, facing expulsion if he fails any part of it. Believing he has no chance of passing, Thornton packs up and prepares to leave. Jason stops Thornton and successfully encourages him to stay and prepare for the challenge.
With limited time to prepare, Thornton crams for the examination with help from Jason, Derek, Lou, and even Diane. When the big day comes, Barbay begins by intimidating Thornton with a single, 27-part question. Nevertheless, Thornton answers every part, though the effort was so much that he wants to forfeit. Diane inspires him to finish by asking him to recite a Dylan Thomas poem, which he does.
At the championship dive meet later that day, Thornton and Jason reconcile, while Grand Lakes University takes the lead. To spite Jason for his performance and for winning over Valerie, Chas fakes a cramp in an attempt to make his team lose. The coach decides to recruit Thornton as a last-minute replacement. Thornton helps the team win by performing the extremely dangerous, but legendary "Triple Lindy" dive. Afterwards, Thornton learns from Diane that he has passed the examination with all D's, except for a single A from her. At the end of the school year, Thornton gives the commencement speech, advising the new graduates that the real world is vicious, and the best course of action is to "move back in with your parents; let them worry about it!"

Production
[edit]
Harold Ramis suggested a rewrite to the script.[4] The producers originally wanted Jim Carrey to play the role of Professor Terguson, but he was later rejected as he was deemed too young for the part.[5]
Reception
[edit]
Back to School yielded $91.3 million domestically,[2] and was the 6th highest-grossing film of 1986, as well as the second highest grossing comedy film of the year, behind Crocodile Dundee (records state that in addition to the rental and theatrical gross it received, it went on to gross $108,634,920 globally).[citation needed]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an 88% rating based on 40 reviews, with an average rating of 6.90/10. The site's consensus reads, "Back to School gives Rodney Dangerfield plenty of room to riff—and supports the freewheeling funnyman with enough of a story to keep things interesting between punchlines."[6] On Metacritic it has a score of 68 out of 100 based on reviews from 9 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[7] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.[8]
Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times noted that "Dangerfield seems to be setting the film's brisk pace and flawless timing himself."[9] Nina Darnton wrote in The New York Times that "the film is a good-natured potpourri of gags, funny bits, populist sentiment and anti-intellectualism."[10] Roger Ebert's Chicago Sun-Times three-star review described the film as "routine but pleasant", yet elevated by Dangerfield's persona: "This is exactly the sort of plot Marx or Fields could have appeared in. Dangerfield brings it something they might also have brought along: a certain pathos."[11]
Soundtrack
[edit]
Back to SchoolSoundtrack album by
Various Artists

Caddyshack Turns 40: Nine Things You Didn’t Know About the Cinderella Story
EPSN thinks it might be the funniest movie ever made about sports. Some point to it as another example of how Saturday Night Live incubates talents that are suitable for the big screen. And others consider it the best of the “slobs vs. snobs” subgenre of comedy. However you score it, Caddyshack has been one of most popular and most loved film comedies (almost) since its release 40 years ago this week. In honor of its longevity and continued hilarity, we’ll shoot a (front) nine full of things you didn’t know about Caddyshack.
1. It Was Created by Caddies
Writer and co-star Brian Doyle-Murray had the idea for the film based on his own experiences working as a caddie. His brothers John and Bill Murray had as well, as had their friend Harold Ramis. Brian, Bill, and Ramis had all been members of the Second City comedy troupe; Ramis also worked with Bill Murray on The National Lampoon Radio Hour and was one of four writers credited on Murray’s film, Meatballs. Douglas Kenney, who had founded National Lampoon magazine and co-wrote National Lampoon’s Animal House with Ramis and Chris Miller, came aboard and collaborated with Ramis and Doyle-Murray on the screenplay for Caddyshack. In 2002, the Murrays and their fourth brother, Joel, created and appeared in the Comedy Channel series The Sweet Spot, which featured the brothers playing golf at top-notch courses.
2. What Ramis Really Wanted to Do Was Direct
With his background writing for SCTV, National Lampoon, and two successful screenplays under his belt, Ramis was able to assume the director’s chair. Doyle-Murray took the role of caddie supervisor Lou Loomis, while Kenney would take a background role as one of Al Czervik’s (Rodney Dangerfield) hangers-on. The small scale of Kenney’s role was similar to his turn as Stork in Animal House, which he assigned himself and where he had only two lines; he’s the one who ultimately leads the marching band into a dead end. Brian and Bill’s brother John pulled double-duty on the film, appearing as a caddie extra and working behind the scenes as a production assistant.
3. Chevy Chase Was a Logical Fit
Although Chase had passed on the role of Otter in Animal House (which was played by Tim Matheson), he agreed to join Caddyshack. Kenney was one of his closest friends, and he’d worked with Ramis and Bill Murray on The National Lampoon Radio Hour. An original member of the Saturday Night Live cast, Chase had also been the first to leave and find film success. By the time that he shot Caddyshack, he’d already had a hit with Foul Play. For his part, Murray was still on the show and would work shooting his scenes in the film around his SNL schedule. Doyle-Murray was also still working for SNL as a writer and would later be a full cast member.
4. There Are Too Many Palm Trees in Florida
Production began in the fall of 1979. Rolling Hills Country Club in Davie, Florida served as the location for the shoot; today it’s called Grande Oaks Golf Club. Ramis chose that location because it was one of the few Florida courses that didn’t have palm trees. The director was particular about that because he wanted the movie to feel like it could be in the Midwest. One downside of shooting in Florida was that the production had to contend with delays caused by Hurricane David, which briefly touched Florida on September 3.
5. The Film Made Rodney Dangerfield a Movie Star
Rodney Dangerfield was already established as a stand-up comedy star before Caddyshack. Dangerfield broke out after an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1967. He would regularly return to that show and became a popular guest on programs like The Dean Martin Show and The Tonight Show (where he was a guest 35 times). In 1969, he and Anthony Bevacqua created Dangerfield’s, a comedy club in New York, which became one of the home bases of HBO’s Young Comedian Specials. Dangerfield’s stand-up background and Chase and Murray’s grounding in sketch comedy made them all quick on the draw with improv, an environment that led to their roles getting expanded and improvised bits (like Murray’s flower-destroying fantasy monologue about playing at Augusta) making the final film. For his part, Dangerfield was launched into leading his own film comedies like Easy Money.
6. We Should Probably Get These Two Together
The movie was already shooting when Ramis realized that two of the biggest draws in the film, Chase and Murray, had exactly zero scenes together. That may not have entirely been by accident, as Chase and Murray had famously had a contentious run-in backstage at SNL when Chase had returned to host the show. Nevertheless, Ramis, Chase, and Murray went to lunch together and worked out the scene where Ty Webb (Chase) plays a late-night round through groundskeeper Carl’s (Murray) place.
7. The Gopher Has Some Star Wars in Him
John Dykstra won an Academy Award for special effects work that he did for Star Wars, but he had already been famously pushed out of Industrial Light and Magic by George Lucas for budget and scheduling issues before that film was finished. Dykstra would go on to create special effects for a number of other high-profile projects, including the original pilot and theatrical film for Battlestar Galactica. Dykstra’s team created the gopher and his lair while also handling lightning and other visual effects in the film.
8. The Kenny Loggins Film Reign Begins Here
Kenny Loggins was already a music mainstay before Caddyshack. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did four of his songs in the 1970s, which is also when he formed his hit duo with Jim Messina. Loggins and Messina did seven albums in five years. He co-wrote the Doobie Brothers hit “What A Fool Believes” and wrote “I Believe in Love,” which Barbra Streisand sang in 1976’s A Star is Born. He contributed “I’m Alright” to the Caddyshack soundtrack, and it was used as the main theme of the film (and for the gopher’s memorable dance outro). He earned the nickname “The King of the Soundtrack” for his film work throughout the 1980s, which included hit songs for Footloose, Top Gun, Over the Top, and the less-said-the-better Caddyshack II: Back to the Shack.
9. The Hard Road to Classic Status
The film was financially successful, but critics weren’t too kind. However, fans embraced it and it went on to an even bigger second life on cable and video. Critics reevaluated the movie over time as they realized how deeply funny and quotable it was. Bill Murray and Harold Ramis (on camera this time) reteamed the next year in Stripes, which was an even bigger success; Murray and Ramis did three more films together: Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, and Groundhog Day. Chase had major successes for the rest of the decade, including Fletch and three films in the National Lampoon’s Vacation franchise. Today, Caddyshack is regarded as a comedy classic and regularly places on lists of the American Film Institute, such as 100 Laughs and 100 Movie Quotes. The Murray brothers also own the Murray Bros. Caddyshack restaurants, two of which are still open in St. Augustine, Florida and Rosemont, Illinois.

Famous Midlife Career Changers
Changing careers in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or even 60s can seem daunting or downright foolish to some. But for a Nobel Prize winner, a legendary female comic, and more, risky—and often multiple—midlife job swaps led to their success.
Toni Morrison
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Beloved and the first black woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, Morrison started her professional career as an English professor in Texas, and then taught in Washington, D.C. In her 30s, she moved to New York to become an editor at Random House (first working on textbooks and then moving on to a senior editor position). She published her first novel, The Bluest Eye, at age 40.
John Grisham
Though he’s spent most of his adult life writing best-selling legal thrillers such as Sycamore Row and The Pelican Brief, Grisham spent the first part of his life as a lawyer and political figure. He published his first book, A Time To Kill, at 33, but the 5,000 copies printed received little-to-no recognition. His big break came four years later when he sold the film rights to his second novel The Firm to Paramount Pictures, before it was even published.
Rodney Dangerfield
Salesman Jacob Cohen had been moonlighting as a standup comic since his early 20s. He finally “got some respect” after his debut performance—under stage name Rodney Dangerfield (left)—on The Ed Sullivan Show at age 46. After long-awaited success, he began acting in his 50s and opened Dangerfield’s Comedy Club, whose stage welcomed little-known comics such as Jerry Seinfeld, Roseanne Barr, and Jim Carrey (right).
Kathryn Joosten
The two-time Emmy Award-winning actress decided to take acting classes at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago in her 40s while she was working full-time as a psychiatric nurse. Joosten moved all the way to Buena Vista, Florida, for her first acting gig as a Walt Disney World performer.
Harland Sanders
Before he convinced the world that 11 is the prime number for a “finger lickin’ good” spice blend, the honorary Kentucky colonel was the ultimate career changer. Army mule-tender, railroad worker, and gas station operator were just a few jobs he held before buying a restaurant in his 40s. There he perfected his Kentucky Fried Chicken, but Sanders really got cooking at age 65 when he was put out of business and turned his recipe into a franchise.
Martha Stewart
Although the homemaking mogul has experienced some legal trouble, Martha Stewart’s career-changing power is inspiring: The former model turned stockbroker in her 20s, and then homemaker to caterer in her 30s. After her catering company was established, she wrote her first book (on entertaining) and began selling her first line of home-goods in her 40s. Nearing and into her 50s, the famous merchandiser became a TV show host, an editor-in-chief, and the billionaire CEO of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc.
George Foreman
The boxer-turned-minister made a heavyweight comeback winning the world championship at 45—after a 10-year hiatus. Following his win, Foreman was asked to endorse several products including the Lean Mean Grilling Machine (which he helped develop) and Meineke Car Care Centers. Since his midlife victory, Foreman has become an entrepreneur launching a line of cleaning products, shoes for diabetics, a restaurant franchise, and more, and he continues to preach at the church he founded in 1980.
Al Franken
After the former Saturday Night Live producer, writer, and cast member left the sketch comedy show, Al Franken went on to write three books of political satire that hit No. 1 on the New York Times Best Seller list. And he moved to radio, hosting a progressive talk show on Air America. In 2007, Franken (in his late 50s) chose to leave talk radio to pursue (and later win) a U.S. Senate seat. Franken is up for re-election this year.
Ronald Reagan
Another actor turned to politics, Ronald Reagan, is the oldest of our mid-life career changers, having been inaugurated at the age of 69. However, the 40th president of the United States took his first step from Hollywood limelight into the political spotlight in his early 50s when he became governor of California.
Ken Jeong
For comedic actor (and doctor) Ken Jeong, laughter won out over medicine. Jeong was a practicing physician performing medical checkups by day and standup routines by night in the early half of his life. He became a full-time actor in his late 30s when, oddly enough, he landed a role playing a doctor in the Judd Apatow film Knocked Up.

Rover Dangerfield is a 1991 American animated musical comedy film starring the voice talent of comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who also wrote the screenplay and story and co-produced the film.[1] It revolves around the eponymous character, a canine facsimile of Dangerfield owned by a Las Vegas showgirl, who gets dumped off the Hoover Dam and finds himself living on a farm. Critical reception was unfavorable, although its animation received minor praise.
Plot
[edit]
Rover Dangerfield is a Basset Hound living the life of luxury in Las Vegas with his owner Connie, a showgirl. One night, he sees Connie's shady boyfriend Rocky negotiating with a pair of gangsters, and accidentally disrupts it by dropping a bone into the meeting. Thinking Rocky is an undercover cop setting them up, the gangsters flee as their boss tells Rocky that he has blown his last chance. When Connie goes on tour for two weeks, she leaves Rover in the care of Rocky. In retaliation for ruining his deal, Rocky stuffs Rover in a bag, drives him to Hoover Dam and throws him into the water.
The bag is later pulled out of the water by two passing fishermen, who take Rover back to shore and place him in the back of their pickup truck. Rover regains consciousness, jumps out of the truck during a stop, and begins wandering down the road. He ends up in the countryside, and eventually runs into a farmer, Cal, and his son, Danny. Danny convinces his father to take the dog in. Cal agrees on one condition: if he causes trouble, he'll be sent to an animal shelter. If nobody claims him, the animal shelter can put him down. Rover has difficulty adjusting to life on the farm but with the help of Daisy, a beautiful collie next door, and the other dogs on the farm, he succeeds in earning their trust. Rover spends Christmas with the family, and begins to fall in love with Daisy.
One night, a pack of wolves attempt to kill a turkey on the farm. Rover saves the turkey, but the bird ends up dead of shock. Cal mistakenly believes Rover to be responsible for the turkey's death, and takes Rover into the woods to shoot him the next morning. The wolves then attack Cal, but are fended off by Rover, who then rallies the other farm dogs to get the injured Cal home. Rover's heroics make the papers; Connie discovers Rover's whereabouts and travels to the farm to pick him up and take him back to Las Vegas. Although initially satisfied to be reunited with Connie and his old friends, Rover soon begins to miss his life on the farm. Rocky comes into Connie's dressing room, and accidentally confesses to her what he did to Rover, causing Connie to break up with him. Infuriated, Rocky tries to retaliate, but Rover and friends chase him out of the casino, where he is beckoned into the gangsters' limo, presumably taken to be thrown off the Hoover Dam.
Sometime later, Rover, missing Daisy, becomes depressed. Realizing that he misses his new life, Connie takes Rover back to the farm to stay, allowing Cal and Danny to keep him. Rover is reunited with Daisy, who leads him to the barn, revealing that he is now a father of six puppies: five of them resembling Rover and one resembling Daisy. The story ends with Rover teaching his kids how to play cards and playfully chasing Daisy around the farmyard.

Production
[edit]
Conceived in the late 1980s, the film was planned at the time for a December 1988 release.[2] It was originally planned as an R-rated animated film, in the vein of Ralph Bakshi's films, but Warner Bros. wanted the film's content to be toned down to a G-rating.[3][4] Cartoonist Jeff Smith, best known as the creator of the self-published comic book series Bone, described working on key frames for the film's animation to editor Gary Groth in The Comics Journal in 1994. Although he admitted he had fun working on the film, he would describe the film itself as "terrible".[5]
The film was preceded in theaters by a re-issue of the 1958 Merrie Melodies short Robin Hood Daffy.[6]
Reception and legacy
[edit]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 17% of 6 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 3.8/10.[7]
Entertainment Weekly graded the film a 'C', questioning Dangerfield's decision to make the film and said, 'Dangerfield should have known he had written a no-win scenario. His strongest suit — that gleeful lounge-act vulgarity — has always been a little too crass for kids. Yet when Rover offers gooey, sentimental life lessons, it feels unconvincing, like a rock star in a suit. This mongrel-movie badly wants to be a kidvid hit, and with that star and decent animation chops, it stands a chance. But don't bet the farm on it.'[8] TV Guide awarded the film two stars, criticizing the tone and inconsistent animation, and said, 'The result is a confused hybrid creation, suspended in a twilight zone between Don Bluth's benign but dull children's fare and Ralph Bakshi's gratingly hip work.'[9]
Screen Rant, on the other hand, listed Rover Dangerfield as a must-see performance for its star, stating that:
"To hear Dangerfield voice an animated version of himself is quite funny, and the film, while no classic, is completely watchable due to Dangerfield's fresh and entertaining voice-performance".[10]

Yesterday's Movies

Before watching the movie:
Rodney Dangerfield should be able to play a slob pretty convincingly. It’s a large part of his persona. And all he has to do to inherit a windfall is give it all up. It’s an interesting conflict for an actor known for one personality to do a movie where he has to give up a large part of that personality. Vaguely like Jerry Lewis turning ultra-suave in The Nutty Professor.
Beyond that (admittedly large) nugget I’m going into this movie pretty blind. I don’t know how it’s going to play out in any detail beyond a guess at the basic plot structure.

Before watching the movie:
This concept is hardly new to me, but I don’t know if it was new at the time or not. Rodney Dangerfield’s character goes back to school and embarrasses his son by being his classmate. It seems to me that the 1980s would be a time when adults were faced with re-entering education, since the changing markets would shut down factories and force people to get better degrees.
Anyway, in the films I’m familiar with (Billy Madison, An Extremely Goofy Movie) have extenuating circumstances forcing the adult back into school. In the latter case, Adam Sandler has to get a high school diploma within a few months or he won’t inherit his father’s riches, and in the latter, Goofy gets laid off and doesn’t have a college degree. In this case, it appears that Dangerfield’s character is simply wealthy and has nothing better to do than go out for some higher education. That’s fine if it plays well.
Also, supporting actors: Robert Downey jr. when he was a young heartthrob! Robert Picardo in a minor role! Kurt Vonnegut in a cameo! (I’ve never seen the man in motion)
I don’t expect to have to hold this film to a high standard, because it’s clearly intended to be a fun popcorn movie vehicle for Dangerfield.

Before watching the movie:
I suppose I should see The Godfather to properly appreciate a parody of it, but Rodney Dangerfield and Dom DeLuise are too well-cast to pass this up. Also it’s the most appropriate thing I’ve found this week.
Dom DeLuise also did a Godfather-parody character in Robin Hood: Men In Tights. The film looks good, but I can’t overlook the fact that it’s got two and a half big names and yet I’ve never heard of it, so I’m not getting my hopes up too much.

Rover Dangerfield is a 1991 American animated musical comedy film starring the voice talent of comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who also wrote and co-produced the film. It is about a street dog named Rover, who is owned by a Las Vegas showgirl. Rover gets dumped off Hoover Dam by the showgirl’s boyfriend. However, rather than drowning, Rover ends up on a farm.
This is one of those movies that used to be shown all the time on HBO, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network in the 1990s that has a lot of sentimental nostalgic value to a lot of people, myself included.
I love this movie, I think the animation is fantastic, this is done by Hyperion Animation, the same team that did other nostalgic 80s/90s animated fare like The Brave Little Toaster and Bebe’s Kids just to name a few things.
The voice work overall is very good, Rodney Dangerfield can usually boost even the worst movies by having himself appear in it, you’ve also got Susan Blu, Dana Hill, Gregg Berger, Tress MacNeille, Ronnie Schell, Bob Bergen in the cast giving good performance as well.
The songs are very catchy and memorable…
I mean, it’s just a delightful movie especially if you grew up with it around the time it came out, it’s just hard not to love.
Does it have its’ faults? Absolutely. For one thing, there are a couple characters overall that really are just one note and have nothing interesting about them at all, especially Rocky who is just a generic bad guy.
The story overall is a been there done there storyline, the fish out of water storyline that has been done better in movies like Doc Hollywood amongst many others and they don’t really add anything new to make it stand out on its’ own.
Probably the biggest fault of the film is that you can definitely tell it was tone down from it was originally suppose to be, when this was in development, the plan was to do an R rated animated film to fit more into Rodney Dangerfield’s style of comedy but Warner Bros. wanted it tone down to a G rating to sell to kids….that and also Rodney Dangerfield and Warner Bros. weren’t on the best of terms after the Caddyshack II debacle so this may be one of those things where a lot of the film was edited without Dangerfield involved. But this definitely felt like a different movie that Dangerfield signed on to at first. It would’ve been very interesting to see what an R rated take on this would’ve been.
Rover Dangerfield isn’t anywhere near the same levels of a Disney or Pixar movie but it doesn’t need to be. It does enough to get a lot of enjoyment and entertainment value from the great animation, solid voice cast, good music, and just nostalgia value, it’s got flaws, yes, but it still has a special place in my heart, it’s just a fun enjoyable movie to watch. It’s not quite up there with stuff like Chipmunk Adventure or Ducktales The Movie where I can watch it numerous times in a row but it’s still a fun enjoyable movie.

You'll laugh! You'll sing! You'll dance! You'll sit up and beg for more!
Rover Dangerfield
[edit]
All night I'd sit up and beg, she told me I was too old to beg!
[after attacking one of the wolves] That one's for the three little pigs!
I guess that's my trouble, no class. I looked up my family tree, two dogs were using it!
Hey folks! I'll never dampen your holidays! [door slams shut] No respect. No respect at all.
Dialogue
[edit]
Rover Dangerfield: [about playing fetch] He throws a stick, you run and get it, you bring it back and he throws it again! I don't get it! I mean, what's the point?
Raffles: Because it makes them happy and it gives them lots of exercise
Rover Dangerfield: If they want exercise, let them run and get it.
Raffles: So what should I do?
Rover Dangerfield: It's very simple. You do nothing.
Rover Dangerfield: Where's Flappy?
Queenie: Carmine fired him. He couldn't remember the routines.
Rover Dangerfield: Oh, I saw that coming. Flappy was dumb. Yeah, he used to walk backwards and wag his head. I mean dumb! Carmine taught him to sit, he forgot how to stand! And when Carmine paper-trained him, that was something. He went right on the paper. The only trouble is, Carmine was reading it!
Turkey: Let me tell you, I won't be here very long.
Rover Dangerfield: I tell ya, the way I see it, you probably won't be around after Christmas!
Turkey: Well, that would suit me just fine! Well, I might have known: There's absolutely nothing to eat here!
Rover Dangerfield: Yeah? Look in a mirror!
Turkey: Oh... I don't get it.
Rover Dangerfield: Don't worry about it, drumstick. You will!
[Rover attacks Rocky]
Rocky: [kicks him off] You dirty mutt!
Connie: Rocky, what are you doing?
Rocky: I thought I was rid of you for good!
Connie: 'Rid of you for good'?
[Connie slaps him in the face]
Rocky: [furiously] What, are you taking the dog's side? Huh?
[Rocky grabs Connie until Rover pushes him, Rover and the other dogs chase him out the door]
Connie: Rover, NAIL HIM!
[Daisy leads rover to the barn and they were coming to piles and piles of hay which had a pair of boxer shorts on top of one stack. Rover is tucking his tie and was about to kiss Daisy, but then she turned his face and made him look as the shorts seemed to move. And where this made Rover curious of what was in or under the boxer shorts. As he looked, there popped out a puppy which strongly resembled him. he heard a yip and saw another puppy that look resembled him and one pop out of the hay, another one resembled him barking underneath the bucket and there was one puppy who looked like Daisy who was teething on the hose and she look at her mother and her new father whom beams a smile]
Rover Dangerfield: Hey, i'm a father of five!
[Another puppy then fell on Rover's face and Rover held out the final puppy in his litter]
Rover Dangerfield: Six!
[Then the puppy speaks to him in a child-like voice]
Rover's Son: Hey, take it easy, I'm only a pup.
[Rover hugs his son and put his paw over Daisy}
Rover Dangerfield: Hey, boys. Daddy's home!

One of Rodney Dangerfield’s stranger film projects was the animated musical comedy Rover Dangerfield – Mark looks back at an obscure childhood favourite.
It’s true what they say – you can never go home, but you can always rewatch the mad straight-to-video “Rodney Dangerfield is a singing, talking dog who wears a tie” movie you loved when you were five years old. I know Film Stories is a broad church, but it feels like I might be out on a limb with this one.
In the 1980s, stand-up comic and actor Rodney Dangerfield was suddenly propelled to the comedy A-list by roles in films like Caddyshack, Easy Money, and Back To School. On stage, Dangerfield was most famous for his one-liners, his red necktie, and his catchphrase “I get no respect”.
His newfound movie fame provided a new avenue for that persona, as the decade went on, Dangerfield had a few ideas about how to diversify in other mediums too. One of them was an R-rated animated musical comedy project in which he’d play a dog called Rover, a big-city hound who survives an attempted whacking by his owner’s heel boyfriend and washes up on a farm.
I reckon I’ve seen Rover Dangerfield more times than most people alive and even I think it would be weird if the dog had a surname. But Rover’s character design, voice, sense of humour, and red necktie are all so obviously Dangerfield that it would be a bit of a hat on a hat, or a necktie on a dog if you will.
The problem is that Rover Dangerfield isn’t an R-rated movie – it got a G rating for general audiences in America and a U certificate from the BBFC when it came straight to video here in the UK in 1992. I firmly believe that “what if Jerry Seinfeld was a bee” is a weirder sell than this, but at least Bee Movie is designed for its target audience, whoever the heck they are.
Beyond my story, (which really is as simple as being so obsessed with the film when I was five years old that my dad eventually bought the VHS from Blockbuster because we’d rented it enough times to pay for the thing already) a lot went on between that original idea and the (sort of) family-friendly Christmas movie that Warner Bros (sort of) released in summer 1991.
Dog days
Interestingly, Dangerfield had enough interest in this project that he funded all of the early stages of development himself. He worked on the story with his friend and collaborator Harold Ramis, who had also co-written Caddyshack and Back To School, and commissioned character and production designs from Hyperion Pictures Animation, a studio that had previously made 1987’s The Brave Little Toaster. He also co-wrote songs with composer Billy Tragesser.
All of this got Warner Bros to back the project, but there was another film that the studio wanted the star for. Caddyshack was a big box-office hit that didn’t cost much to make and armed only with a tagline – “The shack is back!” – Warner executives were eager to put a sequel together.
The problem was that Ramis (who made his directorial debut with the first film) and most of the cast were reluctant to return for a sequel that was intended to have a more commercially friendly PG rating.
However, after negotiating a tidy $7m payday to return, (the entire first film only cost $4.8m to make) Dangerfield boarded the sequel and helped the studio persuade Ramis to write a script centring around his character Al Czervik. With a star attached and Back To School’s Alan Metter signed up to direct, Caddyshack II looked ready to tee off at the end of 1987.
But Ramis had taken on the project against his better judgement, and neither he nor Dangerfield were especially satisfied with the screenplay. Indeed, a month before principal photography was due to start, Dangerfield exited the project, leaving Warner Bros $2 million deep into pre-production on a film with no star.
Warner sacked Metter and cast Jackie Mason in the rewritten Caddyshack II, which bombed in cinemas and is nowadays widely regarded as one of the poorest sequels ever made. The studio sued Dangerfield for $10 million, but when the suit came to court, they were unable to produce a signed contract as evidence and the case was thrown out, forming an oft-cited precedent for such disputes in the process.
The Caddyshack debacle may provide some context for Warner’s subsequent treatment of Rover Dangerfield, which had originally been set to hit cinemas in December 1988. When it didn’t make that release date, the film press started churning out negative stories about the project’s fortunes.
In his autobiography, It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me: A Lifetime Of No Respect But Plenty Of Sex And Drugs, Dangerfield briefly references the studio’s treatment of the film: “I put some of my own money into an animated movie about dogs. It had some songs, which I wrote, and I even sang a few.
“I thought it was a funny movie, but I had some trouble with the studio, and they buried it like a bone.”
Over the next couple of years, the film was extensively reworked to take out the R-rated elements and make it more family-friendly, adding on more post-production time. Unavoidably, the family-unfriendly Las Vegas setting remains early on, with its gambling dogs, violent gangsters, and buxom chorus girls. It also proved difficult to mitigate darker touches, such as the moment where Rover tries to beat the life back into a dead turkey, alternately working it like a puppet or causing its limp head to loll around sickeningly.
Also, during this extended period of production, it emerged that Ramis hadn’t been compensated for his work on the story, resulting in another legal case in 1990. The credits on the finished film say “Story By Rodney Dangerfield And Harold Ramis, Based On An Idea By Rodney Dangerfield”, which doubles down on one side of the credit while conceding the other.
After all of this, the film got a very limited release when it finally landed in US cinemas in August 1991. Around the same time, a re-release of another animated dog movie, Disney’s 101 Dalmatians, was cleaning up at the US box office, but Rover Dangerfield's theatrical run was so fleeting that there are no box office figures available. The film quietly went to a video release domestically and internationally the following year.
No respect
It all adds up to a quite obscure entry in Hollywood’s animated canon. Let’s just say that Rover Dangerfield didn’t turn up among the vast array of Warner’s characters featured in this year’s Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Looking back at the film 30 years on, it’s not difficult to tell it was changed quite late in the day, caught as it is between audiences who are either much too young for Dangerfield’s usual comedy or much too mature for a fish-out-of-water cartoon about a dog learning the value of the simple life. It’s an all-singing, all-joking, no-business-being-pitched-to-kids oddity.
Aside from the inciting incident of world’s worst dogsitter Rocky (design-wise, think Robert Mitchum at his sleaziest and add a 30-day hangover) throwing Rover off the Hoover Dam, the film repeatedly recalls Old Yeller by having farmer Cal continually threaten to put the tubby basset hound to sleep if he doesn’t pull his weight. There’s also a horn-dog romance with demure collie Daisy, one of many other dogs who are in this movie to be foils to Rover.
There’s also a large part of the film set at Christmas, which ranges from to the aforementioned dead turkey bit to one of the film’s catchier musical numbers, “I’d Never Do It On A Christmas Tree”, about Rover’s indignation at the idea that he’d mark his territory on some festive foliage.
It’s probably the most memorable and least bawdy of all the songs (“I’m never lonely, I’ve got girls galore, I just got rid of three and now I’m down to four”, goes the opening number) and it’s nice to have something for the kids in this bowdlerised comedy.
Even though Dangerfield is far from the most natural singer, the entire film is, for better or worse, tailored to him completely. This was a year or so before Robin Williams changed the game for movie stars in voice roles as the Genie in Aladdin, (who at one point does Dangerfield as one of his anachronistic celebrity impressions) and it’s a true star vehicle, with his name all over the credits.
The jokes are hit-and-miss, either because of the film being sanitised or simply being a bit precious about the riffs that Dangerfield spun out in the recording booth. It’s definitely the sort of film where a scene won’t have just one good gag where eight variable ones will do.
There are certainly cheaper and nastier star vehicles than this out there and Dangerfield clearly got his money’s worth on the design and quality of Hyperion’s animation. It’s not ground-breaking and though it was apparently a formative comedy for 5-year-old Mark, it has no loftier goal than nailing the essential assignment of “what if Rodney Dangerfield was a dog” and running with it.
And just in case you’re not convinced this one’s real, it’s about the time of year where we can close on this…

So if you've ever wondered what an animated film that doesn't even try to fake character development and jumps into every predictable phase looks like, you can watch Rover Dangerfield.
So it's a story about a dog who lives in Las Vegas left in the care of his owner's implied abusive boyfriend. Also said boyfriend is like a jewel thief or something and tries making deals with the mob? Either way, the dog, Rover, manages to screw up a deal for the boyfriend while his owner is out of town and ends up being thrown off the Hoover damn. Yeah. Really.
So then he's picked up by some dudes fishing, wakes up, and runs around in confusion because, holy crap, farms are NOT Vegas. He ends up being taken in by a boy living on the farm, though the dad seems pretty damn eager to have Rover put down/put a bullet in his head himself... despite this, he let's his shrill voiced son keep the dog, provided he doesn't cause trouble.
So Rover expectedly has trouble fitting in while bonding with a sheep dog. Suddenly! Girl next door, Daisy the collie, is barking her head off in a garden and, of course, Rover is in love. So he runs over, introduces himself in song, and by the next scene she is talking to him like she knows him intimately after they've known each other for a full song not even trying all that hard. Suddenly Rover is the most awesome dog evar. Just when we start wtfing about his previous owner, he suddenly has an angstfest over missing her but being in lurv with Daisy, the dog he met like three days ago. 8|
Eventually, he's all at Daisy's place when wolves go to attack the chickens and, in the process of stopping them, a turkey dies. Of course, the trigger happy farmer thinks Rover did it and all to happily leads this dog off to shoot it in the woods. Even though they were probably gonna kill the turkey like that week anyway, it was a terrible thing. Every fricken animal ever is sad that Rover this super great buddy to all is going to be shot. Out in the woods, what's his face farmer CAN'T GO THROUGH WITH IT OH GOD. D'8 He fires a shot while being attacked by wolves, so everyone thinks Rover is dead. He saves farmer guy and then comes back a hero.
SOMEHOW this makes the papers in Vegas and this is how Connie, his owner, finds him. She takes him home, but for some reason Daisy is all pissed about this. Of course, it's because she's in luuuuv. But it's like Rover has a choice who carts him away. He goes back to Vegas, all depressed over not being with Daisy when his owner suddenly decides to bring him back to the farm and leave him there. Also Daisy had puppies. THE END.
What
the
shit
Of course, what can you expect from a movie that has a song entirely about why you shouldn't pee on Christmas trees?
So this was a movie that actually had some pretty good, if not weird looking, animation (Ashley saying she was sure the boyfriend's hair was rotoscoped. Just the hair. 8|). That's all that can be said. They pretty much shifted into every phase without any emotional development of the characters, making each emotionally driven decision very jarring, especially the way-to-sudden relationship between Rover and Daisy. Hell, even everyone being Rover's god damn best friend was just... poorly developed. The songs, you could see coming from a mile away and you dread it every single time.
Along with that, you had Rover making all these "witty" comments to himself. He was very fast talking and kept rolling with the jokes and responding to conversations where people wouldn't even understand a word he was saying. Pretty much what could have a been a good story with at least 20 minutes more emotional development was just... so defeated by treating itself not as seriously as a movie deserves. It was like what's his face just wrote a routine with the loosest of storylines and then they decided to animate it since he couldn't really be an anthropomorphic dog.
So this movie had unappealing characters, no real emotional development, and was just all around... unpleasant to me as an animation major.
If anything, this film made me laugh constantly at Rover's weirdo eyes.
And so I leave you with DEM EYES.

Actor / Comedian
heart failure
Place Of Birth:
Babylon, New York
Best Known As:
The comedian who said "I don't get no respect"
Name at birth: Jacob Cohen
With bulging eyes and a comically tight collar, Rodney Dangerfield made a career out of telling audiences, "I don't get no respect." Rodney Dangerfield began doing stand-up comedy in his teens, quit for more than a decade to live a "normal" life as a salesman, and then returned to stand-up after a divorce in 1962. A few years later he created the "no respect" schtick that became his bread and butter. Dangerfield was a portrait of sweaty discomfort onstage, tugging at his signature red necktie and delivering one-liners like, "I was so ugly when I was born, the doctor slapped my mother." Dangerfield became a regular guest on Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show and later opened his own Manhattan comedy club, Dangerfield's. In 1980 he starred as loudmouthed real estate developer Al Czervik in the lowbrow golf comedy Caddyshack (alongside Ted Knight as Judge Smails). The movie was a hit and gave Dangerfield a second career as an actor. His other films include Easy Money (1983), Back to School (1986, with Adrienne Barbeau) and Little Nicky (2000, with Adam Sandler).
Extra Credit
Rodney Dangerfield performed under the name Jack Roy during his early comedy career. (His father was a vaudeville comic whose stage name was Phil Roy.) During his comeback in the 1960s, he took the name Rodney Dangerfield when it was suggested by a New Jersey club manager… Rodney Dangerfield’s films were mostly comedies, but he took a serious role as a sadistic father in the 1994 Oliver Stone film Natural Born Killers.

One of Rodney Dangerfield’s stranger film projects was the animated musical comedy Rover Dangerfield – Mark looks back at an obscure childhood favourite.
It’s true what they say – you can never go home, but you can always rewatch the mad straight-to-video “Rodney Dangerfield is a singing, talking dog who wears a tie” movie you loved when you were five years old. I know Film Stories is a broad church, but it feels like I might be out on a limb with this one.
In the 1980s, stand-up comic and actor Rodney Dangerfield was suddenly propelled to the comedy A-list by roles in films like Caddyshack, Easy Money, and Back To School. On stage, Dangerfield was most famous for his one-liners, his red necktie, and his catchphrase “I get no respect”.
His newfound movie fame provided a new avenue for that persona, as the decade went on, Dangerfield had a few ideas about how to diversify in other mediums too. One of them was an R-rated animated musical comedy project in which he’d play a dog called Rover, a big-city hound who survives an attempted whacking by his owner’s heel boyfriend and washes up on a farm.
I reckon I’ve seen Rover Dangerfield more times than most people alive and even I think it would be weird if the dog had a surname. But Rover’s character design, voice, sense of humour, and red necktie are all so obviously Dangerfield that it would be a bit of a hat on a hat, or a necktie on a dog if you will.
The problem is that Rover Dangerfield isn’t an R-rated movie – it got a G rating for general audiences in America and a U certificate from the BBFC when it came straight to video here in the UK in 1992. I firmly believe that “what if Jerry Seinfeld was a bee” is a weirder sell than this, but at least Bee Movie is designed for its target audience, whoever the heck they are.
Beyond my story, (which really is as simple as being so obsessed with the film when I was five years old that my dad eventually bought the VHS from Blockbuster because we’d rented it enough times to pay for the thing already) a lot went on between that original idea and the (sort of) family-friendly Christmas movie that Warner Bros (sort of) released in summer 1991.
Dog days
Interestingly, Dangerfield had enough interest in this project that he funded all of the early stages of development himself. He worked on the story with his friend and collaborator Harold Ramis, who had also co-written Caddyshack and Back To School, and commissioned character and production designs from Hyperion Pictures Animation, a studio that had previously made 1987’s The Brave Little Toaster. He also co-wrote songs with composer Billy Tragesser.
All of this got Warner Bros to back the project, but there was another film that the studio wanted the star for. Caddyshack was a big box-office hit that didn’t cost much to make and armed only with a tagline – “The shack is back!” – Warner executives were eager to put a sequel together.
The problem was that Ramis (who made his directorial debut with the first film) and most of the cast were reluctant to return for a sequel that was intended to have a more commercially friendly PG rating.
However, after negotiating a tidy $7m payday to return, (the entire first film only cost $4.8m to make) Dangerfield boarded the sequel and helped the studio persuade Ramis to write a script centring around his character Al Czervik. With a star attached and Back To School’s Alan Metter signed up to direct, Caddyshack II looked ready to tee off at the end of 1987.
But Ramis had taken on the project against his better judgement, and neither he nor Dangerfield were especially satisfied with the screenplay. Indeed, a month before principal photography was due to start, Dangerfield exited the project, leaving Warner Bros $2 million deep into pre-production on a film with no star.
Warner sacked Metter and cast Jackie Mason in the rewritten Caddyshack II, which bombed in cinemas and is nowadays widely regarded as one of the poorest sequels ever made. The studio sued Dangerfield for $10 million, but when the suit came to court, they were unable to produce a signed contract as evidence and the case was thrown out, forming an oft-cited precedent for such disputes in the process.
The Caddyshack debacle may provide some context for Warner’s subsequent treatment of Rover Dangerfield, which had originally been set to hit cinemas in December 1988. When it didn’t make that release date, the film press started churning out negative stories about the project’s fortunes.
In his autobiography, It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me: A Lifetime Of No Respect But Plenty Of Sex And Drugs, Dangerfield briefly references the studio’s treatment of the film: “I put some of my own money into an animated movie about dogs. It had some songs, which I wrote, and I even sang a few.
“I thought it was a funny movie, but I had some trouble with the studio, and they buried it like a bone.”
Over the next couple of years, the film was extensively reworked to take out the R-rated elements and make it more family-friendly, adding on more post-production time. Unavoidably, the family-unfriendly Las Vegas setting remains early on, with its gambling dogs, violent gangsters, and buxom chorus girls. It also proved difficult to mitigate darker touches, such as the moment where Rover tries to beat the life back into a dead turkey, alternately working it like a puppet or causing its limp head to loll around sickeningly.
Also, during this extended period of production, it emerged that Ramis hadn’t been compensated for his work on the story, resulting in another legal case in 1990. The credits on the finished film say “Story By Rodney Dangerfield And Harold Ramis, Based On An Idea By Rodney Dangerfield”, which doubles down on one side of the credit while conceding the other.
After all of this, the film got a very limited release when it finally landed in US cinemas in August 1991. Around the same time, a re-release of another animated dog movie, Disney’s 101 Dalmatians, was cleaning up at the US box office, but Rover Dangerfield's theatrical run was so fleeting that there are no box office figures available. The film quietly went to a video release domestically and internationally the following year.
No respect
It all adds up to a quite obscure entry in Hollywood’s animated canon. Let’s just say that Rover Dangerfield didn’t turn up among the vast array of Warner’s characters featured in this year’s Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Looking back at the film 30 years on, it’s not difficult to tell it was changed quite late in the day, caught as it is between audiences who are either much too young for Dangerfield’s usual comedy or much too mature for a fish-out-of-water cartoon about a dog learning the value of the simple life. It’s an all-singing, all-joking, no-business-being-pitched-to-kids oddity.
Aside from the inciting incident of world’s worst dogsitter Rocky (design-wise, think Robert Mitchum at his sleaziest and add a 30-day hangover) throwing Rover off the Hoover Dam, the film repeatedly recalls Old Yeller by having farmer Cal continually threaten to put the tubby basset hound to sleep if he doesn’t pull his weight. There’s also a horn-dog romance with demure collie Daisy, one of many other dogs who are in this movie to be foils to Rover.
There’s also a large part of the film set at Christmas, which ranges from to the aforementioned dead turkey bit to one of the film’s catchier musical numbers, “I’d Never Do It On A Christmas Tree”, about Rover’s indignation at the idea that he’d mark his territory on some festive foliage.
It’s probably the most memorable and least bawdy of all the songs (“I’m never lonely, I’ve got girls galore, I just got rid of three and now I’m down to four”, goes the opening number) and it’s nice to have something for the kids in this bowdlerised comedy.
Even though Dangerfield is far from the most natural singer, the entire film is, for better or worse, tailored to him completely. This was a year or so before Robin Williams changed the game for movie stars in voice roles as the Genie in Aladdin, (who at one point does Dangerfield as one of his anachronistic celebrity impressions) and it’s a true star vehicle, with his name all over the credits.
The jokes are hit-and-miss, either because of the film being sanitised or simply being a bit precious about the riffs that Dangerfield spun out in the recording booth. It’s definitely the sort of film where a scene won’t have just one good gag where eight variable ones will do.
There are certainly cheaper and nastier star vehicles than this out there and Dangerfield clearly got his money’s worth on the design and quality of Hyperion’s animation. It’s not ground-breaking and though it was apparently a formative comedy for 5-year-old Mark, it has no loftier goal than nailing the essential assignment of “what if Rodney Dangerfield was a dog” and running with it.
And just in case you’re not convinced this one’s real, it’s about the time of year where we can close on this…

The flurry of live-action and animation-blending movies that followed in the wake of Who Framed Roger Rabbit’s groundbreaking, unrepeatable success all set out to be sexy and dark in the same way that Robert Zemeckis’ zeitgeist-capturing masterpiece was but just ended up being inappropriately sexual and unnecessarily dark.
That is most assuredly true of the bizarre 1991 boondoggle Rover Dangerfield, which began life as a Ralph Bakshi-style R-rated comedy for adults to be released late in 1988 but ended up flopping big time in 1991 as a G-rated feature for the whole family.
Yet Rover Dangerfield’s R-rated soul is constantly seeping through. For example, the film’s protagonist, a dog version of Rodney Dangerfield, is introduced rolling Craps, leering at the cleavage of a sexy fellow dog, making crude double entendres and taking about how much he loves Vegas. And why does Rover love Vegas so much? Well, he’s not terribly explicit about it, but he clearly loves Sin City because it’s a place where a degenerate piece of shit like him can indulge his gambling addiction all hours of the day and night, chase showgirls and stick his bone wherever he damn pleases, if you get my crude double entendre. I'm talking about his penis.
But Rover Dangerfield is G for some reason so while it pretty much explicitly lays out that its protagonist is a disturbingly, unnecessarily sexual creature, he’s also a lovable cartoon mutt, so as far as the MPAA is concerned, all of this is conjecture and implication even though, again, this is a cartoon dog that clearly fucks, as evidenced by an opening ditty where he croons lasciviously, “I’m never lonely, I’ve got girls galore, I just got rid of three and now I’m down to four!”
In a jovial, party mood, Rover says to his fellow party dogs of his plans for yet another debauched night out on the town, “We’ll paint the town yellow!” I could be wrong, but I think “yellow” refers to urine. That’s one more urine joke than I would have imagined in a G-rated animated comedy about a city dog who ends up on a farm.
Rover loves Las Vegas partially because it’s full of toadies and sycophants and ass-kissers who, like the supporting cast of every Rodney Dangerfield movie, animated or live-action, simply cannot get enough of him. Why, in Rover Dangerfield he’s got a whole animal entourage on hand to laugh at his jokes.
This is the eighth and final film I will be writing about for No Respect January. I think I’ve figured out why I’m so annoyed by the reaction shots in all of Rodney’s movies of other characters laughing uproariously at his jokes. It’s because this unearned, forced laughter functions as makeshift, de facto cinematic laugh tracks. Only instead of a ghostly assemblage of anonymous laughter, the guffaws for lines like “He’s a real workaholic. You mention work, he gets drunk!” are supposed to emerge organically from farm animals overjoyed by the Catskills comedy stylings of Rover Dangerfield, who is a dog, sure, but also a performer and entertainer not unlike Rodney Dangerfield.
I understandably assumed that Rover’s owner would be an adorable girl or boy who would serve as a surrogate for the kids in the audience. Nope, Rover’s owner is a chorus girl with the physique of a 1960s Playboy playmate and a wardrobe that emphasizes and flatters her bodacious curves.
Rover’s owner is drawn like a masturbatory fantasy. Her boyfriend, Rocky, meanwhile, with his ominously drooping eyebrow and air of brutish menace, looks like an evil Dean Martin dying from consumption.
Rocky is evil on the outside but even more evil on the inside. He’s clearly a one-dimensional, homicidal, philandering sociopath, which makes Rover’s owners’s love for him a little perplexing and not entirely convincing.
In a remarkable display of poor judgment, Connie decides to go on tour, leaving Rover in the care of Rocky, who decides to murder him by throwing him off the Hoover Dam to a horrible, violent death, only instead of shattering all of his bones upon impact, Rover ends up surviving and winds up on a farm. Have I mentioned yet that the movie is rated G?
There is a germ of a good idea, or at least a familiar idea, at the heart of Rover Dangerfield. A lot of the comedian’s biggest successes were fish out of water comedies: Rodney as a vulgar nouveau riche Jewish millionaire in a WASP country club (Caddyshack)! Rodney as a vulgar nouveau riche millionaire at a preppie college (Back to School)!
In a similar, but much stupider vein, Rover Dangerfield put a big city dog on a sleepy old farm and somehow imagined that the kids of the early 1990s would go nuts over an achingly slow farm comedy-drama of self-actualization centered on the achingly vanilla romance involving Rover Dangerfield, confirmed pussy wolfer, and Daisy, who is like a canine version of Andie McDowell: very beautiful and very boring.
Daisy sees the potential in Rover and encourages him to chase his dreams and believe in himself and all the other horse shit you find in kids movies like these.
Love interests and romantic subplots don’t even work in live action Dangerfield movies. What made them think that audiences would go in for the sappy romantic stuff if Dangerfield was playing an anthropomorphic animal? Ah, but Rover Dangerfield isn’t just about farm comedy and bland romance: it’s also about Rodney Dangerfield singing.
Yes, in its sadistic attempt to stretch this flimsy conceit to just barely just feature-length, Rover Dangerfield is a fucking musical whose perpetually wavering momentum grinds to a complete stop so that the red tie-wearing titular canine can croon some of the worst songs ever written.
The worst of a sorry lot is “I’ll Never Do It On a Christmas Tree”, a Yuletide ditty of questionable taste about how Rover has so much respect for the solemnity of Christmas that he would never lustily urinate on a Christmas tree the way he would every other kind.
Like a lot of terrible kiddie movies that somehow got away with a G rating, and thus an unearned opportunity to traumatize kids in a bad way, Rover Dangerfield has such a hard-on for death that it sometimes starts to feel like some bizarre form of animated, family-friendly snuff film.
Rocky, the disturbingly designed boyfriend, who clearly fucks around on his girlfriend, probably beats her up and may even have a Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors-style sadist complex going on, kicks off the plot by trying to murder the titular animal.
After that, the specter of death continues to haunt Rover, and by extension the film. The stakes could not be higher. If Rover shapes up and proves that he can follow directions and fit in on the farm, then he might earn a permanent place there. If not, well, that’s what shotguns and shotgun shells and tough but fair-minded fathers who don’t flinch when it’s time to pull the trigger and send even an animal he likes from this world into the next are for.
Rover Dangerfield really leans into the notion that Rover might end up being put down to create an artificial sense of urgency and just ends up creating a kid’s movie that’s incredibly inappropriate for kids. When it comes to smuggling dark, smutty, scary, child-frightening content in a G-rated family film, Rover Dangerfield gets away with just about everything. Creatively, it gets away with just about nothing.
This has been a long, long day for me. I wouldn’t have clicked play on Amazon if this hadn't run a lean 73 minutes long. Looking at Amazon, I found myself thinking, “73 minutes? That’s nothing. I can power through that easy. Bring it on!” Ten minutes later, I found myself thinking, “Christ, why did I start watching this movie? It’s 73 minutes long. That's a fucking eternity!
Rover Dangerfield ends not just with the clear implication that Rover Dangerfield is a wacky G rated cartoon dog that fucks, but with concrete evidence that Rover Dangerfield’s seed is potent and his sexual appetite rapacious. The film ends with Rover siring a litter of puppies with Daisy that stand as adorable living proof that their parents had sex, and probably a fair amount if Rover’s many suggestive allusions to his sexual desire and lust for the mother of his children are any indication.
Heck, this G-rated smut fest ends with Rover chasing deliriously after his mate in a fit of lust, waggishly assuring us that when he wants to catch Daisy he’ll catch her, and then clearly have even more uninhibited sex. Confusingly and disturbingly enough, however, the puppies chase after Rover as he lustily tries to get his fuck on. Thankfully the movie ends before showing us the puppies watching their parents have sex. That’s merely the very strong implication in a film-closing bit that illustrates the incredible level of miscalculation and bad judgment that defines every aspect of this movie.
In this movie, the dad, who is convinced that he’s going to have to disappoint his son by putting a few bullet holes in Rover’s head, tells his son that Rover does not look intelligent. He’s a dog and he’s wearing a fucking tie. I think that’s a little more advanced than you, farmer psycho, just waiting for your chance to end another life and rationalize it to traumatized sonny boy as part of life’s great cycles of life and death.
Rover Dangerfield is undoubtedly the most poignant failure from this phase of Dangerfield’s career because he clearly wanted to crack this freshly-scrubbed Walt Disney Midwest world of farms and funny farm animals and show-tunes and star-crossed romance so badly and failed on every conceivable level.
Dangerfield didn’t just lend his name and persona and voice to the film: it’s the only film in which he has a solo screenplay credit, although litigation resulted in Harold Ramis sharing a “Story developed” by credit with Dangerfield for working on the script with Dangerfield at a very early stage, before, I would imagine, it became apparent to everyone involved that it would be a world-class embarrassment.
The vulgar, boozy, drug-addled depressed Jewish city slicker was going to win the hearts of middle America as a lovable dog with a song in his heart and a wisecrack perpetually on his lips. It was not to be. Rover Dangerfield plush dolls and figurines were made, but went unsold. The soundtrack featuring the song about how Rover loves Christmas so much he’ll never unleash a firehose-like torrent of urine onto its branches and ornaments, co-written by Rodney himself, was purchased I would imagine primarily, if not exclusively, as a pretty inspired gag gift. Incidentally, if you ever wanted to get me a gag gift, that would be a good idea.

Citation styles
Encyclopedia.com gives you the ability to cite reference entries and articles according to common styles from the Modern Language Association (MLA), The Chicago Manual of Style, and the American Psychological Association (APA).
Within the “Cite this article” tool, pick a style to see how all available information looks when formatted according to that style. Then, copy and paste the text into your bibliography or works cited list.
Because each style has its own formatting nuances that evolve over time and not all information is available for every reference entry or article, Encyclopedia.com cannot guarantee each citation it generates. Therefore, it’s best to use Encyclopedia.com citations as a starting point before checking the style against your school or publication’s requirements and the most-recent information available at these sites:

Rodney Dangerfield
American comedian
Rodney Dangerfield (born November 22, 1921, Babylon, Long Island, New York, U.S.—died October 5, 2004, Los Angeles, California) was a popular American comedian known for his wide-eyed, fidgety delivery style and his hapless, self-deprecating demeanor, expressed by his famous lamentation, “I don’t get no respect.”
Early life
Jacob Cohen’s parents, Dorothy (née Teitelbaum) and Phillip Cohen, were both of European Jewish ancestry. He and his elder sister grew up in the New York City borough of Queens. His father, a vaudeville comic and juggler, abandoned the family soon after Cohen’s birth. Because the family needed money when he was growing up, Cohen took odd jobs, such as delivering groceries after school and selling ice cream on the beach. During his childhood he suffered from depression and a feeling of being inferior to others, the result of his mother’s uncaring attitude and the regular anti-Semitic abuse he endured from his teachers. He eventually began to write jokes as a way of becoming more popular with his classmates.

In his late teens, Cohen began telling his jokes onstage, performing as a singing waiter and comic throughout New York City and New Jersey after legally changing his name to Jack Roy. He also performed in the resorts of the Catskill Mountains region of upstate New York, known as the Borscht Belt for its tradition of Jewish performers. But after a difficult night there in the early 1950s, Roy decided to give up show business, quipping later, “To give you an idea of how well I was doing at the time I quit, I was the only one who knew I quit.”
Roy married Joyce Indig, a singer, and the couple settled in Englewood, New Jersey, where they had two children. He made a living selling paint and aluminum siding for nearly a decade. The couple divorced in 1962 and remarried a year later—only to divorce again, this time permanently, in 1970.
In the 1960s, when he was in his early 40s, Roy decided to give comedy another chance. As he explained in a 1986 interview, “It was like a need. I had to work. I had to tell jokes. I had to write them and tell them. It was like a fix. I had the habit.”
A late-blooming career
Roy practiced his routines in the Catskills on the weekends. It was there that he asked a club owner to invent a stage name for him, and the owner suggested Rodney Dangerfield. In 1967 Dangerfield’s career received a huge boost when he appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and gave millions of viewers a glimpse of his “loser” routine. He soon became a popular and regular guest on several talk shows and variety shows, in which he delivered dozens of self-deprecating one-liners while feigning uneasiness by constantly adjusting his necktie. He delighted audiences with jokes such as:
“I was an ugly child. I got lost on the beach. I asked a cop if he could find my parents. He said, ‘I don’t know. There’s lots of places for them to hide.’ ”
“Last week my house was on fire. My wife told the kids, ‘Be quiet, you’ll wake up Daddy.’ ”
“Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: ‘Basement?’ ”

A 1970 New York Times profile described Dangerfield as the favorite comic of the “silent majority,” the phrase that U.S. Pres. Richard Nixon had used to describe Americans who supported him in the wake of large demonstrations against the Vietnam War. “His is the plaint of millions of middle-aged, middle-class, middle Americans who feel that they’re out of the fun, out of the money, out in the cold while everybody else is getting theirs,” the news article observed. “His patter is in the familiar meter of the Borscht Belt. What is novel about this performance is the kind of audience it now delights. Instead of being the humor of elderly Jews in the Catskills, it is now the entertainment of tough truck drivers in New Jersey.”
After his ex-wife died in the early 1970s, Dangerfield took over parenting his two children, and he decided to stop touring and open his own nightclub, Dangerfield’s, in Manhattan so he could be close to home. That club eventually became a proving ground for previously unknown comics such as Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, and Roseanne Barr.
Dangerfield also began a movie-acting career in the 1970s, beginning with his role in The Projectionist (1971). He later appeared in the hit comedies Caddyshack (1980), Easy Money (1983), and Back to School (1986). He also impressed critics with a much darker role in the American director Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers (1994), in which he played an abusive father.
Dangerfield won a Grammy Award in 1981 for his debut comedy album, No Respect, and in 1983 he released a popular song, “Rappin’ Rodney.” In 1993 he married his second wife, Joan Child.

One of Rodney Dangerfield’s stranger film projects was the animated musical comedy Rover Dangerfield – Mark looks back at an obscure childhood favourite.
It’s true what they say – you can never go home, but you can always rewatch the mad straight-to-video “Rodney Dangerfield is a singing, talking dog who wears a tie” movie you loved when you were five years old. I know Film Stories is a broad church, but it feels like I might be out on a limb with this one.
In the 1980s, stand-up comic and actor Rodney Dangerfield was suddenly propelled to the comedy A-list by roles in films like Caddyshack, Easy Money, and Back To School. On stage, Dangerfield was most famous for his one-liners, his red necktie, and his catchphrase “I get no respect”.
His newfound movie fame provided a new avenue for that persona, as the decade went on, Dangerfield had a few ideas about how to diversify in other mediums too. One of them was an R-rated animated musical comedy project in which he’d play a dog called Rover, a big-city hound who survives an attempted whacking by his owner’s heel boyfriend and washes up on a farm.
I reckon I’ve seen Rover Dangerfield more times than most people alive and even I think it would be weird if the dog had a surname. But Rover’s character design, voice, sense of humour, and red necktie are all so obviously Dangerfield that it would be a bit of a hat on a hat, or a necktie on a dog if you will.
The problem is that Rover Dangerfield isn’t an R-rated movie – it got a G rating for general audiences in America and a U certificate from the BBFC when it came straight to video here in the UK in 1992. I firmly believe that “what if Jerry Seinfeld was a bee” is a weirder sell than this, but at least Bee Movie is designed for its target audience, whoever the heck they are.
Beyond my story, (which really is as simple as being so obsessed with the film when I was five years old that my dad eventually bought the VHS from Blockbuster because we’d rented it enough times to pay for the thing already) a lot went on between that original idea and the (sort of) family-friendly Christmas movie that Warner Bros (sort of) released in summer 1991.
Dog days
Interestingly, Dangerfield had enough interest in this project that he funded all of the early stages of development himself. He worked on the story with his friend and collaborator Harold Ramis, who had also co-written Caddyshack and Back To School, and commissioned character and production designs from Hyperion Pictures Animation, a studio that had previously made 1987’s The Brave Little Toaster. He also co-wrote songs with composer Billy Tragesser.
All of this got Warner Bros to back the project, but there was another film that the studio wanted the star for. Caddyshack was a big box-office hit that didn’t cost much to make and armed only with a tagline – “The shack is back!” – Warner executives were eager to put a sequel together.
The problem was that Ramis (who made his directorial debut with the first film) and most of the cast were reluctant to return for a sequel that was intended to have a more commercially friendly PG rating.
However, after negotiating a tidy $7m payday to return, (the entire first film only cost $4.8m to make) Dangerfield boarded the sequel and helped the studio persuade Ramis to write a script centring around his character Al Czervik. With a star attached and Back To School’s Alan Metter signed up to direct, Caddyshack II looked ready to tee off at the end of 1987.
But Ramis had taken on the project against his better judgement, and neither he nor Dangerfield were especially satisfied with the screenplay. Indeed, a month before principal photography was due to start, Dangerfield exited the project, leaving Warner Bros $2 million deep into pre-production on a film with no star.
Warner sacked Metter and cast Jackie Mason in the rewritten Caddyshack II, which bombed in cinemas and is nowadays widely regarded as one of the poorest sequels ever made. The studio sued Dangerfield for $10 million, but when the suit came to court, they were unable to produce a signed contract as evidence and the case was thrown out, forming an oft-cited precedent for such disputes in the process.
The Caddyshack debacle may provide some context for Warner’s subsequent treatment of Rover Dangerfield, which had originally been set to hit cinemas in December 1988. When it didn’t make that release date, the film press started churning out negative stories about the project’s fortunes.
In his autobiography, It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me: A Lifetime Of No Respect But Plenty Of Sex And Drugs, Dangerfield briefly references the studio’s treatment of the film: “I put some of my own money into an animated movie about dogs. It had some songs, which I wrote, and I even sang a few.
“I thought it was a funny movie, but I had some trouble with the studio, and they buried it like a bone.”
Over the next couple of years, the film was extensively reworked to take out the R-rated elements and make it more family-friendly, adding on more post-production time. Unavoidably, the family-unfriendly Las Vegas setting remains early on, with its gambling dogs, violent gangsters, and buxom chorus girls. It also proved difficult to mitigate darker touches, such as the moment where Rover tries to beat the life back into a dead turkey, alternately working it like a puppet or causing its limp head to loll around sickeningly.
Also, during this extended period of production, it emerged that Ramis hadn’t been compensated for his work on the story, resulting in another legal case in 1990. The credits on the finished film say “Story By Rodney Dangerfield And Harold Ramis, Based On An Idea By Rodney Dangerfield”, which doubles down on one side of the credit while conceding the other.
After all of this, the film got a very limited release when it finally landed in US cinemas in August 1991. Around the same time, a re-release of another animated dog movie, Disney’s 101 Dalmatians, was cleaning up at the US box office, but Rover Dangerfield's theatrical run was so fleeting that there are no box office figures available. The film quietly went to a video release domestically and internationally the following year.
No respect
It all adds up to a quite obscure entry in Hollywood’s animated canon. Let’s just say that Rover Dangerfield didn’t turn up among the vast array of Warner’s characters featured in this year’s Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Looking back at the film 30 years on, it’s not difficult to tell it was changed quite late in the day, caught as it is between audiences who are either much too young for Dangerfield’s usual comedy or much too mature for a fish-out-of-water cartoon about a dog learning the value of the simple life. It’s an all-singing, all-joking, no-business-being-pitched-to-kids oddity.
Aside from the inciting incident of world’s worst dogsitter Rocky (design-wise, think Robert Mitchum at his sleaziest and add a 30-day hangover) throwing Rover off the Hoover Dam, the film repeatedly recalls Old Yeller by having farmer Cal continually threaten to put the tubby basset hound to sleep if he doesn’t pull his weight. There’s also a horn-dog romance with demure collie Daisy, one of many other dogs who are in this movie to be foils to Rover.
There’s also a large part of the film set at Christmas, which ranges from to the aforementioned dead turkey bit to one of the film’s catchier musical numbers, “I’d Never Do It On A Christmas Tree”, about Rover’s indignation at the idea that he’d mark his territory on some festive foliage.
It’s probably the most memorable and least bawdy of all the songs (“I’m never lonely, I’ve got girls galore, I just got rid of three and now I’m down to four”, goes the opening number) and it’s nice to have something for the kids in this bowdlerised comedy.
Even though Dangerfield is far from the most natural singer, the entire film is, for better or worse, tailored to him completely. This was a year or so before Robin Williams changed the game for movie stars in voice roles as the Genie in Aladdin, (who at one point does Dangerfield as one of his anachronistic celebrity impressions) and it’s a true star vehicle, with his name all over the credits.
The jokes are hit-and-miss, either because of the film being sanitised or simply being a bit precious about the riffs that Dangerfield spun out in the recording booth. It’s definitely the sort of film where a scene won’t have just one good gag where eight variable ones will do.
There are certainly cheaper and nastier star vehicles than this out there and Dangerfield clearly got his money’s worth on the design and quality of Hyperion’s animation. It’s not ground-breaking and though it was apparently a formative comedy for 5-year-old Mark, it has no loftier goal than nailing the essential assignment of “what if Rodney Dangerfield was a dog” and running with it.
And just in case you’re not convinced this one’s real, it’s about the time of year where we can close on this…

Rodney Dangerfield was born Jacob Cohen on November 22, 1921 in Deer Park, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. He was the son of Dorothy "Dotty" (Teitelbaum) and Phillip Cohen, who performed in vaudeville under the name Phil Roy. His father was born in New York, to Russian Jewish parents, and his mother was a Hungarian Jewish immigrant. Rodney began writing jokes at the age of fifteen, and started performing before he was 20. He took his act to the road for ten years, his stage name was "Jack Roy". While working as a struggling comedian, Rodney Dangerfield worked as a singing waiter. His first run at comedy was to no avail.
Rodney Dangerfield married Joyce Indig, in 1949 and had two children: Brian and Melanie. During the 1950s, Rodney was an aluminum siding salesman, living in New Jersey. The comedian made another attempt at stand-up comedy, this time as Rodney Dangerfield. In 1961, Rodney divorced from his wife.
When he appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" (Toast of the Town (1948)), Rodney Dangerfield made Ed Sullivan laugh. Few people ever provoked any kind of reaction out of the legendary Ed Sullivan. Dangerfield had the image of a lovable disgruntled every-man type that became a hit all across nightclubs in the 1960s. Dangerfield also made many appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962) and The Dean Martin Show (1965) in the 1970s.
Rodney Dangerfield snatched a minor supporting part in the movie, Der Filmvorführer (1970), in 1971. By the mid 1970s, he had cemented his image as a comedian constantly tugging at his red tie, always proclaiming he gets no respect. His big break came with many appearances on Saturday Night Live (1975), bringing himself to a much wider audience and proving hysterical on many occasions. In 1980, Dangerfield became a cornerstone of American comedy with the classic Caddyshack - Wahnsinn ohne Handicap (1980).
Here, he played "Al Czervik", a rich golfer who was a basically nice guy who was extremely outspoken and very obnoxious. His character was often unhappy with the rich snobbery he was around, and he takes on the rich people that are so snobby to him.
The average guy that his character portrayed was an instant hit, and a formula that Dangerfield often stuck with. Also, in 1980, Rodney came out with a popular comedy album, "Rappin Rodney".
The album earned Dangerfield a Grammy for best comedy album. The next movie on Rodney's agenda was Monty, der Millionenerbe (1983), a comedy that showed him as an insulting working class person who suddenly becomes a millionaire. The movie was also a big hit. Dangerfield became very sparse in his roles on TV and film about this time. The year 1986 saw the comedy, Mach's nochmal, Dad (1986), his biggest film to date. The comedy was one of the first to gross over 100 million. In 1994, Dangerfield starred in his first dramatic role in the successful Oliver Stone film, Natural Born Killers (1994).
He played an abusive father who drove one of the killers crazy. His part was critically-acclaimed. In 1995, Dangerfield entered the world of cyberspace, becoming the first entertainer to have a website on the world-wide web. In 1997, he starred in Wally Sparks - König des schlechten Geschmacks (1997), a political and talk show satire which was poorly received. In 2000, Dangerfield starred as "the Devil" in Little Nicky - Satan Junior (2000). The movie was potentially a huge hit, but was a failure by most accounts. Dangerfield took a very small part, but was top-billed in the direct-to-video The Godson (1998), and starred in the direct-to-video link=tt0216930]. But it has not been all smooth sailing for this comedian. In 1997, he admitted to a lifelong bout with depression and, on his 80th birthday, had a mild heart attack. He has major fans from all kinds of people from all different backgrounds. Dangerfield had made a record 70 appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962), and had discovered many struggling comedians, including Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Roseanne Barr, Robert Townsend, Sam Kinison and Tim Allen.
The comedian owned a legendary nightclub in Manhattan called "Dangerfield's". In the 1990s, he made highly-publicized appearances on Die Simpsons (1989), In Living Color (1990), Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist (1995), Hör' mal, wer da hämmert (1991), Susan (1996), among others.
In 1993, he married Joan Dangerfield (aka Joan Child), a woman thirty years younger than him, and a Mormon.
He died on October 5, 2004, after falling into a coma following heart surgery.

VERN\'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA
|
https://outlawvern.com/tag/rodney-dangerfield/
|
Earlier this year I did a week of rock ’n roll related animated features, including Don Bluth’s ROCK-A-DOODLE, which was released on August 2, 1991 in the U.K. (though not until the following April in the U.S.). In that review I talked about Disney struggling in the ‘80s, and Bluth disagreeing with their direction and splintering off to try to recapture the old Walt magic, doing a pretty good job for a while but then completely losing the plot by that time, when he made that completely befuddling movie about a farm rooster exiled to animal Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Disney was finally getting their shit together, in a way that reinvigorated the entire American animation industry. It kicked off in the summer of ’88, when Robert Zemeckis and Richard Williams’ love letter to animation history WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT was a giant hit with adults as much as kids. Then in ’89 THE LITTLE MERMAID perfected the musical fairy tale formula that Disney and its rivals would attempt to recapture for the rest of the decade. (A similar thing was happening on TV, with every network trying to make prime time cartoons in the wake of The Simpsons. Even the cartoons made for younger audiences were beginning to be more creative and less disposable: Nickelodeon debuted Doug, Rugrats and The Ren & Stimpy Show on August 11th.) (read the rest of this shit…)
Years ago I saw NATURAL BORN KILLERS, and I hated it. But that was years ago. Like Woody Harrelson says in the opening scene about the last time he ate key lime pie, I was a different person then. I’ve mellowed over the years. I’m more open to crazy shit and mega-acting. I’m not as strident about certain things. I’m ready to appreciate it as a weird crime movie, maybe, even if it still comes off as a ridiculously heavy-handed message movie about the most obvious fucking message in the world (have you noticed how the media exploits violence?). So let’s give it the same respect we give the pie. Let’s give it its day in court.
Of course, I got no clue why somebody would be skeptical about key lime pie. Maybe that’s the best clue into Mickey Knox’s derangement. Quentin Tarantino sure liked writing about pie when he was young. He wrote the original script this was based on but would only accept a “story by” credit after it was heavily re-written by Oliver Stone, Stone’s buddy Richard Rutowski and David PERMANENT MIDNIGHT Veloz.

The catchphrase of the American comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who has died aged 82, was "I don't get no respect!" Many of his jokes were disparaging about his own looks, personality and sex life, and the lack of respect he got from his parents, his wife, his kids, and his doctor: "My psychiatrist told me I'm going crazy. I told him, 'If you don't mind, I'd like a second opinion.' He said, 'All right. You're ugly too!'"
Constantly tugging at his red tie, he presented himself as a disgruntled ordinary guy. "My image is something everyone identified with," he claimed. "They all feel life treated 'em wrong and they got no respect."
Earlier this year, he published his surprisingly frank autobiography, It's Not Easy Bein' Me: A Lifetime Of No Respect But Plenty Of Sex And Drugs, which revealed that he had suffered from depression, and that many of his one-liners were derived from an unhappy childhood and personal pain: "I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toy was a toaster."
Rodney Dangerfield was born Jacob Cohen in Babylon, New York. His father, Philip Cohen, was a comedian in vaudeville under the name of Phil Roy. "My dad wasn't around much. I found out much later that he was a ladies' man ... I was raised by my mother, who ran a very cold household. I never got a kiss, a hug, or a compliment. ... I guess that's why I went into show business - to get some love. I wanted people to tell me I was good, tell me I'm OK. Let me hear the laughs, the applause."
Young Jack began his career at the age of 15 when he started writing jokes. "We were so poor that if I hadn't been born a boy, I'd have had nothing to play with!" At 17, he started performing at amateur nights before travelling the comedy circuit for 10 years as Jack Roy, without much success. When he married in 1949, he reluctantly gave up showbusiness for a more stable income as an aluminium wall-cladding salesman.
For more than 10 years, he lived a miserable middle-class suburban existence in New Jersey. "My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met." It wasn't until 1961, aged 40 and divorced, that he reinvented himself as Rodney Dangerfield, standup comedian, a hit on the nightclub circuit and on television in the Ed Sullivan, Tonight and Dean Martin shows, but his biggest break came in the 1970s with his many appearances on the anarchic Saturday Night Live.
Dangerfield's first film role was in The Projectionist (1971), a quirky indie movie in which the eponymous hero imagines himself as Captain Flash. Dangerfield doubled as the projectionist's oily boss and the villain, The Bat, of his daydreams.
It was nine years before Dangerfield reappeared in a film, the low-brow golf comedy Caddyshack (1980), with his Saturday Night Live colleagues Chevy Chase and Bill Murray. Dangerfield, in a sports jacket gaudy even by golfers' standards, plays Al Czervik, a loud-mouthed millionaire who is as insulting as he is rich. It is a tribute to Dangerfield's timing that few of the lines are funny on paper, but audiences found his "Hey, everybody! We're all gonna get laid!" hilarious on screen.
Dangerfield then starred in Easy Money (1983), in which he is a working-class slob who could receive $10m from his late mother-in-law's estate if he gives up his vices, including smoking, drinking and gambling.
In Back To School (1986), he is a bombastic, uneducated self-made millionaire businessman who enrols in college in order to encourage his son to complete his education. The film grossed $100m. In 1991, the hugely popular Dangerfield produced, wrote and contributed his voice to the familiar-looking wise-cracking canine hero of the animated feature Rover Dangerfield.
Although Dangerfield was just as obnoxious and foul-mouthed as ever in Oliver Stone's controversial Natural Born Killers (1994), his persona was used for dramatic purposes as the repulsive, sexually abusive father of one of the killers (Juliette Lewis). Dangerfield then returned to vulgar slapstick comedies such as Little Nicky (2000) in which he played Lucifer, the grandfather of Adam Sandler's devil on earth, and increasingly dismal farces in which the octogenarian comic is the romantic lead surrounded by young girls.
In fact, in 1993, Dangerfield married Joan Child, a woman 30 years his junior, the owner of Jungle Roses, a national floral distribution company. In his later years he underwent two aneurysm operations, heart surgery and brain surgery, only to return to work immediately afterwards.
In 1981, Dangerfield won a Grammy Award for his comedy album No Respect, and was the recipient of the Lifetime Creative Achievement Award from the 1994 American Comedy Awards. His trademark white shirt and red tie are on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington. He had obviously gained respect.
He is survived by his wife, and by two children from his former marriage.

Biography
"I don't get no respect," Rodney Dangerfield complained. Good comedy springs from the truth. And this was the truth. Rodney looked like a loser. There were bags under his bulging eyes, his heavyset body weighed him down just getting to center stage, and sweat poured from him as he nervously adjusted loosened the tie that seemed more like a noose. He just couldn't get a break. He said that whenever he went into an elevator, the operator said one word: "Basement?" And when he was a kid and played hide and go seek, it was no fun at all. "They wouldn't even look for me!"
His miseries on stage were only a slightly cartooned version of his miseries off-stage. He had a rough childhood. His name back then was Jacob Cohen and he grew up tormented by anti-Semitism and the wistful longing to fit in with the crowd. His parents were separated and money was tight. The boy had to deliver groceries—to the houses of the kids he went to school with. "I wanted to date certain of the girls, but I never asked them. I felt I wasn't good enough." After graduating high school he drove a laundry truck.
Calling himself Jack Roy, he decided to follow his father (billed as Phil Roy) into show business: "Comedy is a camouflage for depression…a lot of people from split homes go into show business because they want applause…in my particular case, it was a question of: accept me, tell me I'm okay. Tell me I'm as good as the rest." As a comic, he never earned more than $8,000 a year. Others seemed to go on to better things. He was a loser. And he had a wife and family to support. So he quit the business and became a salesman.
Hitting 40, writing a few jokes now and then for star comedians, he had a restless urge to give show business one last chance. Not wanting to come back as the failed Jack Roy, he needed a new name. A club owner thought up Rodney Dangerfield: "I was depressed enough to keep the name." There were a few losers in stand-up, like Jackie Vernon, but Rodney became something different—a loser fighting to be a winner, grousing over every indignity, his "I don't get no respect" coming out of anger more than self-pity. His one-liners bristled with chagrin and irony: "My wife's an earth sign, I'm a water sign. Together we make mud…I broke up with my psychiatrist. One day I told him I had suicidal tendencies. He told me from now on I had to pay in advance."
Through the 60's and 70's, Rodney's gut-message hit home. Older fans sympathized with the guy who could never get a break. Younger fans seemed to see him as the personification of the American Dream gone wrong—but a guy hip enough to joke about it. A guy who knew what it was like to be an outsider, Rodney in the 70's was well known for being nice to fans and encouraging to other comics. He was one of the few big names who gave novice joke writers a chance, always willing to look at new material and pay a decent price for a gag.
Dangerfield continued to work hard. He was invited back on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" over and over because he was constantly turning over fresh, audience-tested, well-constructed jokes. Rodney's fame continued to grow. He cut a "rap" record and video, had good luck with his own "Dangerfield's" night club in New York, and after only a few film appearances, struck gold with the smash hit "Back to School." He was suddenly one of the nation's hottest comics. The film grossed 90 million dollars.
The loser was a winner. But, unfortunately true to his image, he told an interviewer, "It's too late to do cartwheels." Success had come too late and he could not hide his bitterness. Among his deepest regrets was that his long-time manager had died before his breakthrough film was released. Rodney's pain and pessimism coupled with the awesome success seemed to throw him temporarily off balance.
With new management came a new look, a thick lawn of dyed blond-yellow hair. The new management felt that Rodney was worth more than the $5 million he was going to get for "Caddyshack II"—and the resulting lawsuit left him without the key follow-up film he needed. The new management refused interview requests—which only confirmed the suspicions of many that he was beginning to indulge to deeply in the joys of star power. The new management brought him to Broadway for a critically roasted one-man show. And under the new management he made a few vulgar and poorly scripted cable specials that had fans shaking their heads.
He filmed a pilot for "Where's Rodney?" about a 12 year-old who asks Rodney for advice in times of crisis. Somehow, the concept didn't sell. Meanwhile his next film project, "The Scout," went through three directors. And for the first time, Rodney began getting bad publicity, including a costly fight over money demands for cancelled performances at a Las Vegas casino. He claimed he couldn't perform after his eye was injured in the steam room at Ceasars Palace in March, 1988. The casino refused to pay him for the missed shows. In September of 1990, he finally won the case, getting $725,000 out of the five million dollars he had demanded, but it had come at a high cost. During the trial the casino contended he had "severe problems with cocaine, marijuana and alcohol abuse" and the remarks were quickly picked up by the tabloid press.
Breaking five years of silence, he consented to a New York Post interview to complain, "(The casino) had no case, so they blasted out stuff about me on alcohol and drugs to degrade me and abuse me and debilitate me…my right eye is still suffering. I have to use ointment and drops daily and it's still not good…I had first degree burns on my lids and couldn't see out of my eye and they wouldt pay me for shows I couldn't do. What compassion. I'd worked Vegas for 20 years and never missed a show."
One sign of his old self was his compassion and support for young comics, including protege Sam Kinison, dubbed "The Beast of Burden." Meanwhile Dangerfield continued to suffer from his own burdens. One young comic remembered, "He called me at 3am once. He said, 'Can't sleep, right? Sure. We give 'em everything on stage and we go home and have nothing."
In stand-up, working the crowd, Dangerfield was still in top form, still raging about life's indignities and still remembering where it all began: "I was an ugly kid…one year they tried to make me a poster boy for birth control…my mother had morning sickness after I was born…"
Dangerfield began to find his way back in 1991, now looking toward a more "family oriented" image with light-hearted films. He was especially proud of "Rover Dangerfield," an animated cartoon featuring his own script and co-written songs. The film even had a happy ending. As he said, "In life it's tough to have a happy ending. There's not too many around. So give 'em a happy ending at the movies."
Through it all, Dangerfield maintained his fans. Like boxing's "Rocky," it didn't matter whether he was just a loser, or whether he won a round (as he did in "Back to School"). He got sympathy, he got laughs, and even respect.

Rover Dangerfield is a 1991 American animated musical comedy fantasy adventure film produced by Hyperion Animation and released by Warner Bros., starring the voice talents of comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who also wrote and co-produced the film. It is about a street dog named Rover, who is owned by a Las Vegas showgirl. Rover gets dumped off Hoover Dam by the showgirl's boyfriend. However, rather than drowning, Rover ends up on a farm.
Plot[]
Rover (looks between a Beagle or a Basset Hound) lives a life of fun in Las Vegas, gambling and chasing girls with his best friend Eddie. One night, he sees his owner Connie's boyfriend, Rocky, in a transaction with a pair of gangsters, and accidentally disrupts it. Thinking that Rocky is an undercover cop setting them up, the gangsters flee, telling Rocky that he has blown his last chance. The next day, Connie goes on the road for two weeks, leaving Rocky to look after Rover. In revenge for ruining his deal, Rocky puts Rover in a bag, drives him to Hoover Dam, and throws him in the water. The bag is later pulled out of the water by two passing fishermen, who take Rover back to shore and place him in the back of their pickup truck. However, Rover wakes up and jumps out of the truck when the fishermen stop for gas, and begins to wander down the road on his way back to Vegas. Instead, he ends up in the countryside, and eventually runs into a farmer, Cal, and his son, Danny, who convinces his father to take the dog in. Cal agrees on one condition: at the first sign of trouble, he'll be sent to an animal shelter, and if nobody claims him, the animal shelter can put him to sleep.
Rover has difficulty adjusting to life on the farm, but with the help of Daisy, the beautiful dog next door, and the other dogs on the farm, he succeeds in earning his keep. Rover spends Christmas with the family, and begins to fall in love with Daisy, who returns his affections. However, one night, a pack of wolves attempt to kill the Christmas turkey on the farm. Rover attempts to save the animal, but ends up caught by Cal while holding the dead bird, looking as if he killed it. The next morning, Cal takes Rover into the woods in order to put him down, but is attacked by the wolves. Rover manages to fight the wolves off, and brings the other farm dogs to get an injured Cal home.
Rover's heroics make the papers, allowing Eddie and Connie to find out where he is. Connie travels to the farm and brings Rover back to Vegas, where Rover begins to miss his life on the farm. One night, Rocky comes into Connie's dressing room, where Rover attempts to get payback for what he did to him. After Rocky accidentally confesses to Connie what he did, she angrily slaps and breaks up him. Infuriated, he tries to retaliate against Connie. However, Rover and his dog friends chase him into the limo of the gangsters. At first, he's relieved that they seemingly came to his rescue but questions why were they even there in the first place. While Rover happily listens, the thugs proceed to reveal that they set him up and imply that they are going to murder him by throwing him into the Hoover Dam.
Some time later, Rover, missing Daisy, becomes depressed. Connie, realizing her old companion met someone, takes Rover back to the farm to stay. Rover is reunited with Daisy, who reveals to him that he is now a father, unveiling six puppies. The story ends with Rover teaching his kids how to play cards, and playfully chasing Daisy around the farmyard.

Production[]
Conceived in the late 1980s, the film was planned at the time for a December 1988 release. It was originally planned as an R-rated animated film, in the vein of Ralph Bakshi's films, but Warner Bros. wanted the film's content to be toned down to a G-rating. Cartoonist Jeff Smith, best known as the creator of the self-published comic book series Bone, described working on key frames for the film's animation to editor Gary Groth in The Comics Journal in 1994.
The technique had already been used in Disney's The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective, The Brave Little Toaster, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Oliver & Company, The Little Mermaid, DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp and The Rescuers Down Under.

Reception[]
Alex Sandell of "Juicy Cerebellum" called it "one of the worst animated films ever, even if you are a fan of Dangerfield", and Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone TheMovieChicks.com both agreed that "this movie gets no respect and doesn't deserve any". One of the more positive reviews came from Douglas Pratt of "DVDLaser", saying that "the story is quite entertaining and provides so much of the film's appeal that the artwork just wags along with it".

Imagine having no talent. Imagine being no good at all at something and doing it anyway. Then, after nine years, failing at it and giving it up in disgust and moving to Englewood, N.J., and selling aluminum siding. And then, years later, trying the thing again, though it wrecks your marriage, and failing again. And eventually making a meticulous study of the thing and figuring out that, by eliminating every extraneous element, you could isolate what makes it work and just do that. And then, after becoming better at it than anyone who had ever done it, realizing that maybe you didn’t need the talent. That maybe its absence was a gift.
These were the stations on the via dolorosa of Jacob Cohen, a.k.a. Rodney Dangerfield, whose comedy I hold above all others’. At his peak — look on YouTube for any set he did between 1976 and 1990 — he was the funniest entertainer ever. That peak was long in coming; by the time he perfected his act, he was nearly 60. But everything about Dangerfield was weird. While other comedians of that era made their names in television and film, Dangerfield made his with stand-up. It was a stand-up as dated as he was: He stood on stage stock-still in a rumpled black suit and shiny red tie and told a succession of diamond-hard one-liners.
The one-liners were impeccable, unimprovable. Dangerfield spent years on them; he once told an interviewer that it took him three months to work up six minutes of material for a talk-show appearance. If there’s art about life and art about art, Dangerfield’s comedy was the latter — he was the supreme formalist. Lacking inborn ability, he studied the moving parts of a joke with an engineer’s rigor. And so Dangerfield, who told audiences that as a child he was so ugly that his mother fed him with a slingshot, became the leading semiotician of postwar American comedy. How someone can watch him with anything short of wonder is beyond me.
“To be a comedian,” he said, “you have to get onstage and find out if you’re funny.” He wasn’t. During his first career, performing as Jack Roy, he was a singing waiter, used props, tried impressions. Even after his second coming — using a stage name devised by a club owner as a gag — and becoming a regular on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” he could be miserable. In a YouTube clip of him performing on “Sullivan” in 1969, Dangerfield’s face is the unsettling bluish-pink of raw chicken. The jokes — about getting directions, his wife’s driving, their apartment — keep bombing. The setups are too long; the delivery is too slow; the punch lines are so lame that you can hear the scattered laughter of distinct individuals. Even worse, he panders. “I’ll tell you, it’s nice to hear you laugh,” he says at one point. It’s almost unseemly.

VERN\'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA

https://outlawvern.com/2021/08/12/101-dalmations-rover-dangerfield/
|
Earlier this year I did a week of rock ’n roll related animated features, including Don Bluth’s ROCK-A-DOODLE, which was released on August 2, 1991 in the U.K. (though not until the following April in the U.S.). In that review I talked about Disney struggling in the ‘80s, and Bluth disagreeing with their direction and splintering off to try to recapture the old Walt magic, doing a pretty good job for a while but then completely losing the plot by that time, when he made that completely befuddling movie about a farm rooster exiled to animal Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Disney was finally getting their shit together, in a way that reinvigorated the entire American animation industry. It kicked off in the summer of ’88, when Robert Zemeckis and Richard Williams’ love letter to animation history WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT was a giant hit with adults as much as kids. Then in ’89 THE LITTLE MERMAID perfected the musical fairy tale formula that Disney and its rivals would attempt to recapture for the rest of the decade. (A similar thing was happening on TV, with every network trying to make prime time cartoons in the wake of The Simpsons. Even the cartoons made for younger audiences were beginning to be more creative and less disposable: Nickelodeon debuted Doug, Rugrats and The Ren & Stimpy Show on August 11th.)
I personally think Disney’s main 1990 release THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER is one of the best of that era, but at the time everybody wanted a musical, and it was considered a flop. In ’91 they turned that around with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, which would earn a historic best picture nomination, cementing the newly elevated status of animated features in American pop culture. They achieved that partly by releasing it in November, which left them room on the schedule to re-releases one of “WALT DISNEY’S CLASSIC”s in the summer.
ONE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS (as it was spelled when it originally arrived in 1961) holds a unique place in the company’s history. Like THE LITTLE MERMAID, it was a success that came after a time of turmoil. The beautiful (but somewhat dull) SLEEPING BEAUTY had been an expensive financial disappointment, and there was talk of closing down the animation studio. They decided instead to try making a movie where they Xerox the animators’ pencil drawings directly onto cels, an Ub-Iwerks-invented process they’d used for a scene in SLEEPING BEAUTY. By eliminating the step of inking they lowered production costs immensely, and also made it more possible to animate the important detail of the dogs’ many spots.
I think there are good and bad things about the Xeroxing. In general I prefer the clean crispness of ink lines. But in conjunction with DALMATIANS’ stylish backgrounds it really gives the movie a fresh, dare I say hip feel compared to previous Disney movies. And that’s appropriate for their first ever movie taking place in the then-present. I think there’s probly also something to be said for getting to see the animator’s actual lines. Sure, an inker might’ve perfected it, but sometimes the original drawing has an energy that just can’t be re-created.
(Walt Disney hated the look of the movie and didn’t want art director Ken Anderson to do any more, but acknowledged some kind of forgiveness shortly before his death in 1966.)
Another really innovative technical feat is the way they animated the vehicles. This is a 1961 movie with three-dimensional car shots comparable to ones made now with computer assistance. They did it by filming model cars with thick lines drawn onto the edges, Xeroxing the footage onto cels and painting over them. It looks great!

Usually when you see images from this it’s either Cruella or a bunch of dogs. So I wanted to share some screengrabs of the scenery to remind you how purdy this movie is:
I can go on about how cool the movie looks, but not as long about the story, which is pretty simple. Honestly I had mostly forgotten, even though I’ve seen it a few times and am aware of the live action version and the live action version sequel and the DTV animated sequel and the animated TV series and the live action CRUELLA prequel. But, you know, a man and woman meet while walking their Dalmatians in the park. The humans, Roger and Anita, fall in love and get married, and their dogs Pongo and Perdita do too, and have 15 puppies.
Anita has an obnoxious “dearly devoted old schoolmate” named Cruella de Vil who comes over and annoys them, and gets mad when they won’t sell her the puppies. Months later two crooks hired by Cruella steal the puppies. Roger suspects what happened but can’t prove anything, so the canine community gets together to take care of this shit. They use The Twilight Bark – a system of barking the 411 and passing it on across the country – to put out an “all dog alert.” Basically an Amber Alert. The sheepdog Colonel and his cat friend Sgt. Tibbs hear the alert and put two and two together that they heard puppies barking at the old de Vil place. So word gets back to Pongo and Perdy, they make a trek to get there, find that there are actually 84 other Dalmatian puppies along with theirs and that they’re gonna get turned into coats, so they help them escape and try to get home, etc.
Of course the main thing we all remember is Cruella, one of the all time great Disney villains. She’s a monster because she’s up for skinning puppies, but also she’s got kind of a lovable GREY GARDENS meets drag queen vibe to her, with her two-tone hair, jagged cheekbones and giant, ridiculous fur coat constantly sliding down her heroin junkie lookin shoulders as she storms in saying, “Dahling, how are you!,” blowing putrid green smoke in Anita’s face, putting out a cigarette in a cupcake and running back out the door. She’s so evil that she reads about the tragic dognapping in the newspaper (while smoking and wearing a fur coat in bed) and laughs at how Roger looks in the picture. She was animated by Marc Davis, the genius who also designed the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean rides.
One thing about being a contemporary story is that for the first time Disney animators got to create a TV show within a Disney movie, as the puppies watch a western starring a dog named Thunder. There’s also a game show called Guess My Crime. And they got to animate animation-within-animation in the form of a dog food commercial. I like that they differentiate the animation on TV from the animation around it by doing it in a limited UPA sort of style.
A nice touch that makes this different from most Disney musicals is that the two songs are worked in via Roger being an out-of-work songwriter. He sings them at home, playing piano and sometimes trumpet. And the cleverest part is that the famous one, “Cruella de Vil,” is not sung in sincerity – Roger improvises it to get a rise out of Anita because Cruella has just shown up at the door. He dances around singing about the awfulness of their visitor and making faces at his wife to tease her. It’s the only weapon he has against Cruella, who thinks he’s a loser and makes fun of his dream of making music.
I kinda like smartass pipe-smoking jazz nerd Roger. I wonder if he ever considered getting an Aristocat instead of a dog? He’s got some pretty outdated attitudes though, the way he shakes Pongo’s paw while the puppies are being born in the other room, and says, “Why, you old rascal!” He’s just so proud of his dog’s insemination.
More blatantly sexist: the truck driver who almost gets run off the road by Cruella. Obviously he’s the victim in this scenario but still, “Crazy woman driver,” huh? Why did you feel it was important to specify the gender there, pal? Are you prepared to defend that choice? Good job winning that FURY ROAD type driving battle, though, leaving Cruella’s car in pieces. Respect.
In the pre-DVD days of 1991 a reissue of a “WALT DISNEY’S CLASSIC” could sell alot of tickets. 101 DALMATIANS had already been re-released in 1969, 1979 and 1985. On this opening weekend of July 12th it came in #2 at the box office, below T2, but above the week’s other new releases, BOYZ N THE HOOD, POINT BREAK and REGARDING HENRY. It stayed in theaters for 24 weeks and made more than $60 million, surpassing SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS [sic] as the biggest animated movie of all time, adjusted for inflation (before the summer it had been #6). An August 6 Baltimore Sun article declared, “She may not match the form-changing cyborg of Terminator 2: Judgment Day for pure evil, but Cruella, the villain of Disney’s 30-year-old 101 Dalmatians, is proving to be an astonishingly strong box-office draw this summer. 101 Dalmatians is, in fact, the biggest surprise hit of the season for Hollywood.”
It was in week 3 – August 2, 1991 – that DALMATIANS faced competition from a brand new animated feature starring dogs. ROVER DANGERFIELD was distributed by Warner Brothers, and produced by Hyperion Animation, the studio behind THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER (1987), that most relatable story about a boy devastated by his family deciding they don’t need their old toaster.
ROVER DANGERFIELD is the movie that dares to ask the question “What if Rodney Dangerfield was a dog instead of a human and therefore his name was Rover Dangerfield instead of Rodney Dangerfield?” According to Cartoon Research this incredible concept was devised by Harold Ramis (MEN’S GHOSTBUSTERS) around the time he wrote Dangerfield’s BACK TO SCHOOL. Ramis receives a co-“Story Developed By” credit, but sued Dangerfield because he allegedly wasn’t paid and because it says “Based On An Idea By RODNEY DANGERFIELD.”
If Ramis indeed came up with the idea that there should be a dog version of Rodney Dangerfield named Rover Dangerfield, then it is obviously his greatest creation and legacy, and that in itself makes it worth doing. But a man or woman should always be paid for their labor. I wonder if in retrospect Ramis wished he had never even told Rodney Dangerfield that he should do a movie called ROVER DANGERFIELD. He could’ve reworked the idea to do without him. In a way that would be an even stronger premise: what if a dog wasn’t Rodney Dangerfield?
I want to be clear about Rover Dangerfield here. Rover Dangerfield is not Rodney Dangerfield’s dog, or a dog that happens to be similar to Rodney Dangerfield in a world where Rodney Dangerfield exists. As far as we know, there is no Rodney in this plane of existence. Only Rover. But it’s also not like ROCK-A-DOODLE, where live action humans exist in one world but animated farm animals live in another one where animals have cities and cars and stuff. This is a world ruled by humans.
After a zoom through a digitally assisted three-dimensional desert landscape (very much like the opening of THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER) the movie opens with the same gag as DALMATIANS: our lead character is narrating, and we look at a human as if that’s whose voice we’re hearing, but then it pans down to the dog. As if we were gonna believe this guy talked like Rodney Dangerfield!
Rover is in an alley with the strays playing dice for bones and hitting on two pink poodles in pearl necklaces. He actually makes fun of a Dalmatian who opts out of the game. “Hey, stick around! We’ll play connect the dots!”
Dangerfield is credited as sole screenwriter. It definitely seems like he wrote all the wisecracks, but the story about him getting stranded on a farm and falling in love seems like standard cartoon bullshit. This could be a matter of Dangerfield just trying to write what he figures you’re supposed to for a cartoon, or of normal cartoon hacks rewriting it in storyboards. Part of the mystery of the movie is that, at least according to this Film School Rejects article, it was originally announced as an R-rated film to be released in 1988, when BACK TO SCHOOL was still fresh in people’s memories. By the time it came out 3 years later it was rated G.
It definitely wouldn’t get that today! Rover lives in Las Vegas, he walks around in casinos, his owner is a showgirl named Connie (Shawn Southwick, MONACO FOREVER) who he visits in a dressing room surrounded by her partially clothed co-workers (who all look like the Little Mermaid’s sisters).
Rover hates Connie’s chain-smoking boyfriend Rocky (Sal Landi, BACK TO BACK), who he implies is a drunk and who seems like it when he stumbles in after forgetting her birthday. His design and archaic style of macho swagger would fit right into a Ralph Bakshi movie.
Although Rocky can’t hear Rover’s voice and doesn’t know he has human-like feelings he does feud with him. Rocky was trying to do some sort of deal with gangsters when Rover looked into a skylight and spooked them. So he puts Rover in a bag and throws him off the Hoover Dam.
So it’s crazy that it’s rated G, and it’s unclear who the audience is supposed to be, but I don’t get the impression it was produced as an adult movie and then cut. Except maybe in the part where Rover wakes up wearing sunglasses and it implies a night of drinking and/or drugs that we never saw. “Ooh, what a night. Boy, I’ll never do that again,” he says, before hallucinating ripples on the tiled floor and almost throwing up.
Anyway, some fishermen find him still alive in that bag and they bring him back to their farm (location unclear, but they “drove all night” to get there). In their truck they’re listening to “Respect” by Aretha Franklin because, do you get it, he don’t get no respect.
Most of the movie is on the farm, and is less weird, more normal cartoon animal business. Rover is loved by a towheaded, bulbous-Converse-wearing farm boy named Danny (Dana Hill, NATIONAL LAMPOON’S EUROPEAN VACATION), meets various farm animals, is scared by wolves, is not into playing fetch, tries out being a sheepdog. One part that makes it a very hard G movie is when the wolves kill the rooster (an actual character!) and Rover plays with the body pretending he’s still alive and then gets dragged into the woods to be shot. The gun is loaded and pointed at him but he’s saved when the wolves try to maul Danny’s dad.
By the way, there are songs – five of them! – written and sung by Dangerfield. When Rover meets his dream dog Daisy (Susan Boyd, later in THE MASK) he sings a little song about “I’d give up a bone for you!” And there’s a whole number about how he’s not gonna pee on a Christmas tree. (It’s called “I’ll Never Do It On a Christmas Tree.”) But also there’s a very sincere ballad where he looks up at the sky singing about FOMO: “Somewhere there’s a good time, I tell you it’s not fair, somewhere there’s a party, oh how I wish I was there.”
There is some clear overlap here with DOC HOLLYWOOD – the city dog who comes to the farm, falls in love, goes back home, feels empty, decides to come back. I don’t have a problem admitting that it’s a worse movie than DOC HOLLYWOOD, but is it stupid to say they handle that theme with a little more nuance? Yeah, probly. But I like that they acknowledge that yes, there are nice things about living on the farm, but also his city (Sin City!) is fun and it makes sense to miss it and Connie. When he comes back it’s because he realizes he’ll be happier with Daisy, not because he’s rejecting or disavowing Las Vegas life.
As in DALMATIANS and so many other animal movies, the conceit is that we hear the animals speaking English and sometimes see them standing upright or doing other human-like things, but the humans in the story can’t understand them and just see them as ordinary animals. A small, subtle addition to this is that Rover wears (and tugs on) a tie just like Rodney, but when the fishing guys find him in the water they look at the tie and say his name is Rover. So to humans it must just be a collar.
An insignificant thing this has in common with DALMATIANS is scenes of a dog watching TV. In this case you can’t really make out the screen but you can hear the sound from Daffy Duck cartoons.
The animation is a mixed bag. They’re definitely trying – there are shots with camera rotations and stuff. The humans are pretty detailed. It’s smoother and more sophisticated than a TV cartoon. But it doesn’t have an overall appealing aesthetic and – as there were likely many newcomers learning on the job – quality varies from scene to scene. Connie and Rocky are often well animated, and there’s a shot where the animator didn’t care about context, because he or she gives Connie and Rocky a passionate kiss like the cover of a romance novel even though we’re supposed to adore sweetheart Connie and wonder what she sees in this shitbag who she clearly adores here.
I do not think this is a good movie, but there are two things that made it watchable. One is just my fascination with the unanswerable question of what they were going for and how they ended up with this. And the second is that I do think he has some pretty funny lines, like telling a sheepdog “Eh, what’re ya workin so hard for? It don’t mean nothin. Let me tell you somethin. It’s who you know!” Or taunting the wolves with various three little pigs and Little Red Riding Hood references. Hearing Dangerfield’s voice telling Dangerfield jokes is a redeeming quality. But pretending we should be moved by a Rodney Dangerfield dog falling in love with a collie is a little much.
Anyway, the most important thing is that when he comes back he goes into the barn and there are a bunch of puppies that each look exactly like him or Daisy. So I think we should all be thankful this wasn’t R-rated so we didn’t have to see Rover Dangerfield fuck.
There are two credited directors, both of whom also did storyboards, character designs and character animation. Jim George had been an effects animator on Disney’s THE RESCUERS and Bluth’s Banjo the Woodpile Cat. After this he returned to Disney as a character designer for BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, and then did the same for, uh, FOODFIGHT!. The other director, Bob Seeley, has no credits before this and his only other directing is for some TV thing called Channel Umptee-3.
I said earlier that ROVER DANGERFIELD was competition for the re-release of 101 DALMATIANS. That was a huge exaggeration. I actually couldn’t find any box office information for it, but it didn’t make it into the top 12 on its opening weekend, so I don’t think it was released nation wide. That Film School Rejects article quotes Dangerfield’s autobiography, where he wrote, “I thought it was a funny movie, but I had some trouble with the studio, and they buried it like a bone.”
Aftermath:
Dangerfield’s next movie was LADYBUGS, a family film that was actually seen by some people. And after that it was NATURAL BORN KILLERS, in one of the parts I liked. He returned to animation voicing for a cameo in CASPER, two episodes of The Simpsons, a Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist and a Nickelodeon movie called THE ELECTRIC PIPER. And he voiced a live action animal, “Bandit the Rabbit,” in RUSTY: A DOG’S TALE.
One of the character animators, Jeff Smith, started publishing his independent comic book Bone that year. It ran until 2004, a cult phenomenon that has repeatedly almost been made into a series or movie. (Based on his drawing style I suspect he did some of those Connie and Rocky shots, but that’s pure speculation.)

Only a month before filming began, the script was overhauled to make the comedian's character a "likeable rich guy" instead of a "schlub," says writer Steve Kampmann as Melissa McCarthy's college comedy 'Life of the Party' gets ready to hit theaters Friday.

The bug-eyed stand-up, famous for his “I don’t get no respect” catchphrase, had made his first major film appearance in 1980’s Caddyshack, where he shared the screen with a dancing gopher. In School, he had self-effacing zingers like, “With the shape I’m in, you could donate my body to science fiction” — which in the hot tub scene seemed believable. The film also offers an appearance by then-Saturday Night Live regular Robert Downey Jr. as the quirky best friend of Dangerfield’s son. (“You look like the poster boy for birth control,” the comic tells him.)
The Hollywood Reporter called the Orion Pictures release “unabashedly light and lowbrow” and a “loony, carefully conceived comedy.”
A month before the scheduled start of filming, Dangerfield and the producers decided that the script needed an overhaul. “We were lucky because it was a comedy; if it had been a drama like Schindler’s List, having only a month would have been a disaster,” says Steve Kampmann, one of the movie’s four credited writers (Harold Ramis was another). “But nothing kills comedy faster than overdevelopment. One of the biggest changes was making Rodney’s character a likable rich guy. He didn’t want to play a schlub like he did in Caddyshack.”
The film was a big success. The $11 million production ($25 million today) had a worldwide gross of $109 million ($248 million.) “There’s an old saying, ‘Funny is money,’ ” says Mike Medavoy, then Orion’s head of production. School was such a hit, it ended up grossing much more domestically — $91 million compared with $51 million — than the studio’s 1984 best picture Oscar winner, Amadeus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Dangerfield
|
American stand-up comedian (1921–2004)
Jack Roy (born Jacob Cohen; November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004), better known by the pseudonym Rodney Dangerfield, was an American stand-up comedian, actor, screenwriter, and producer. He was known for his self-deprecating one-liner humor, his catchphrase "I don't get no respect!"[2] and his monologues on that theme.
He began his career working as a stand-up comic at the Fantasy Lounge in New York City. His act grew in popularity as he became a mainstay on late-night talk shows throughout the 1960s and 1970s, eventually developing into a headlining act on the Las Vegas casino circuit.
He appeared in a few bit parts in films, such as The Projectionist, throughout the 1970s, but his breakout film role came in 1980 as a boorish nouveau riche golfer in the ensemble comedy Caddyshack, which was followed by two additional successful films in which he starred: 1983's Easy Money and 1986's Back to School. Additional film work kept him busy through the rest of his life, mostly in comedies, but with a rare dramatic role in 1994's Natural Born Killers as an abusive father. Health troubles curtailed his output through the early 2000s before his death in 2004, following a month in a coma due to complications from heart valve surgery.[3]
Early life
[edit]
Rodney Dangerfield was born Jacob Cohen[4] in the Village of Babylon, New York, on November 22, 1921.[5] He was the son of Jewish parents Dorothy "Dotty" Teitelbaum and the vaudevillian performer Phillip Cohen, whose stage name was Phil Roy. His mother was born in Hungary.[6] Phillip Cohen was rarely home; his son normally saw him only twice a year. Late in life, Cohen begged for, and received, his son's forgiveness.[7]
Cohen's mother was reportedly emotionally distant for most of his childhood and did not show signs of affection towards her son.[8] In an interview with Howard Stern on May 25, 2004, Dangerfield told Stern that he had been molested by a man in his neighborhood. The man would pay Rodney a nickel and kiss him for five minutes.[9]
After Cohen's father abandoned the family, his mother moved him and his sister to Kew Gardens, Queens, where Dangerfield attended Richmond Hill High School, graduating in 1939. To support himself and his family, he delivered groceries and sold newspapers and ice cream at the beach.[7]
Career
[edit]
Early career
[edit]
At the age of 15, he began to write for stand-up comedians while performing at the Nevele, a former resort in Ellenville, New York.[10] Then, at the age of 19 he legally changed his name to Jack Roy.[11][12] He struggled financially for nine years, at one point performing as a singing waiter until he was fired, before taking a job selling aluminum siding in the mid-1950s to support his wife and family.[13][14] He later quipped he was so little known that when he gave up show business that "I was the only one who knew I quit."[15]
In the early 1960s, he started reviving his career as an entertainer. Still working as a salesman by day, he returned to the stage, performing at hotels in the Catskill Mountains, but still finding minimal success. He fell into debt, about $20,000 by his own estimate and couldn't get booked. He later joked, "I played one club; it was so far out, my act was reviewed in Field & Stream."[16]
Dangerfield came to realize that what he lacked was an "image", a well-defined on-stage persona that audiences could relate to, one that would distinguish him from other comics. After being shunned by some premier comedy venues, he returned home where he began developing a character for whom nothing goes right.
Roy took the name Rodney Dangerfield from an episode by Jack Benny on his radio program in a 1941 broadcast.[17] The name was referenced as an actor who Jack had invited to his upcoming Christmas Party, but Mary Livingstone had never heard of him. The name surfaces again in the December 15, 1946, episode as a "movie star" on Jack's Christmas Card list.[18] The name was also used by Ricky Nelson in a 1962 television episode of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, as a phony name for a blind date.[19]
Career surge
[edit]
Dangerfield reached national prominence appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show in March 1967.[20] He soon began headlining shows in Las Vegas and continued making frequent appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.[21] He also became a regular on The Dean Martin Show and appeared on The Tonight Show more than 70 times.[22]
In 1969, Dangerfield teamed up with longtime friend Anthony Bevacqua to build the Dangerfield's comedy club in New York City, a venue where he could perform on a regular basis without having to constantly travel. The club remained in continuous operation until October 14, 2020. Dangerfield's was the venue for several HBO comedy specials starring such stand-up comics as Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Tim Allen, Roseanne Barr, Robert Townsend, Jeff Foxworthy, Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks, Rita Rudner, Andrew Dice Clay, Louie Anderson, Dom Irrera, and Bob Saget.[citation needed]
In 1978, Dangerfield was invited to be the keynote speaker at Harvard University's Class Day, an annual ceremony for seniors the day before commencement.[23]
His 1980 comedy album No Respect won a Grammy Award.[24] One of his TV specials featured a musical number, "Rappin' Rodney", which appeared on his 1983 follow-up album, Rappin' Rodney. In December 1983, the "Rappin' Rodney" single became one of the first Hot 100 rap records, and the associated video was an early MTV hit.[25] The video featured cameo appearances by Don Novello as a last rites priest munching on Rodney's last meal of fast food in a styrofoam container and Pat Benatar as a masked executioner pulling a hangman's knot. The two appear in a dream sequence wherein Dangerfield is condemned to die and does not get any respect, even in Heaven, as the gates close without his being permitted to enter.
Career peak
[edit]
Though his acting career had begun much earlier in obscure movies like The Projectionist (1971),[10] Dangerfield's career took off during the early 1980s, when he began acting in hit comedy movies.
One of Dangerfield's more memorable performances was in the 1980 golf comedy Caddyshack, in which he played an obnoxious nouveau riche property developer who was a guest at a golf club, where he clashed with the uptight Judge Elihu Smails (played by Ted Knight). His role was initially smaller, but because he and fellow cast members Chevy Chase and Bill Murray proved adept at improvisation, their roles were greatly expanded during filming, much to the chagrin of some of their castmates.[26] Initial reviews of Caddyshack praised Dangerfield's standout performance among the wild cast.[27] His appearance in Caddyshack led to starring roles in Easy Money and Back to School, for which he also served as co-writer. Unlike his stand-up persona, his comedy film characters were portrayed as successful, confident and generally popular despite being characteristically loud, brash, and detested by the wealthy elite.
Throughout the 1980s, Dangerfield also appeared in a series of commercials for Miller Lite beer, including one in which various celebrities who had appeared in the ads were holding a bowling match. With the score tied, after a bearded Ben Davidson told Rodney, "All we need is one pin, Rodney", Dangerfield's ball went down the lane and bounced perpendicularly off the head pin, landing in the gutter without knocking down any of the pins. He also appeared in the endings of Billy Joel's music video of "Tell Her About It" and Lionel Richie's video of "Dancing on the Ceiling".[28]
In 1990, Dangerfield was involved in Where's Rodney?, an unsold TV pilot for NBC. The show starred Jared Rushton as a teenager, also named Rodney, who could summon Dangerfield whenever he needed guidance about his life.[29][30]
In a change of pace from the comedy persona that made him famous, he played an abusive father in Natural Born Killers in a scene for which he wrote or rewrote all of his own lines.[31]
Dangerfield was rejected for membership in the Motion Picture Academy in 1995 by the head of the academy's Actors Section, Roddy McDowall. After fan protests, the academy reconsidered, but Dangerfield then refused to accept membership.[32]
In March 1995, Dangerfield was the first celebrity to personally own a website and create content for it.[33] He interacted with fans who visited his site via an "E-mail me" link, often surprising people with a reply.[34] By 1996, Dangerfield's website proved to be such a hit that he made Websight magazine's list of the "100 Most Influential People on the Web".[35]
Dangerfield appeared in "Burns, Baby Burns", an episode of the animated television series The Simpsons in which he played Mr. Burns's son Larry Burns, a character who is essentially a parody of Dangerfield's onstage persona. He also appeared as himself in an episode of Home Improvement.
Dangerfield appears in the 2000 Adam Sandler film Little Nicky, playing Lucifer, the father of Satan (Harvey Keitel) and grandfather of Nicky (Sandler).
Dangerfield was recognized by the Smithsonian Institution, which has displayed one of his trademark white shirts and red ties. When he handed the shirt to the museum's curator, Rodney joked, "I have a feeling you're going to use this to clean Lindbergh's plane."[36]
Dangerfield played an important role in comedian Jim Carrey's rise to stardom. In the 1980s, after watching Carrey perform at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, Rodney signed Carrey to open for Dangerfield's Las Vegas show. The two toured together for about two more years.[37] When Dangerfield celebrated his 80th birthday on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in November 2001, Carrey made a surprise appearance to thank Dangerfield for his years of support.
Personal life
[edit]
Dangerfield was married twice to Joyce Indig, a singer. They married on October 3, 1951, divorced in 1961, remarried in 1963, and divorced again in 1970, although Rodney lived largely separated from his family.[38] Together, the couple had two children: son Brian Roy (born 1960) and daughter Melanie Roy-Friedman, born after her parents remarried. From 1993 until his death, Dangerfield was married to Joan Child, whom he met in 1983 at a flower shop she owned in Santa Monica, California.[39][40]
At the time of a People magazine article on Dangerfield in 1980, he was sharing an apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side with a housekeeper, his poodle Keno, and his closest friend of 30 years, Joe Ancis, whom Dangerfield called "the funniest man in the world";[41] Ancis was also a friend of and major influence on Lenny Bruce.[42] Ancis, who Roseanne Barr described as "too psychologically damaged to be able to live in a germ-infested world on his own", lived with Dangerfield until Ancis's death in 2001.[40][43][44]
Dangerfield resented being confused with his on-stage persona. Although his wife Joan described him as "classy, gentlemanly, sensitive and intelligent,"[45] he was often treated like the loser he played and documented this in his 2004 autobiography, It's Not Easy Bein' Me: A Lifetime of No Respect but Plenty of Sex and Drugs. In this work, he also discussed being a marijuana smoker; the book's original title was My Love Affair with Marijuana.[46]
Although Jewish, Dangerfield referred to himself as an atheist during an interview with Howard Stern on May 25, 2004, about four months before his death. Dangerfield added during the interview that he was a "logical" atheist, adding: "We're gorillas - does a gorilla come back?" In the same interview, he lamented that he "suffered greatly for being a perfectionist"; he also said "My mother never hugged me, kissed me, nothing, okay? Other kids would go to sleep listening to a fairy tale. I went to sleep with a fight downstairs, listening to a guy yelling 'Enough! Enough!'"[47]
Later years and death
[edit]
On November 22, 2001 (his 80th birthday), Dangerfield suffered a mild stroke while doing stand-up on The Tonight Show. While Dangerfield was performing, host Jay Leno noticed something was wrong with Dangerfield's movements and asked his producer to call the paramedics.[48] During Dangerfield's hospital stay, the staff were reportedly upset that he smoked marijuana in his room.[49] Dangerfield returned to the Tonight Show a year later, performing on his 81st birthday.[49]
On April 8, 2003, Dangerfield underwent brain surgery to improve blood flow in preparation for heart valve-replacement surgery on a later date.[50] The heart surgery took place on August 24, 2004.[51] Upon entering the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center, he uttered another characteristic one-liner when asked how long he would be hospitalized: "If all goes well, about a week. If not, about an hour and a half."[52]
Dangerfield died on October 5, 2004. He was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. On the day of Dangerfield's death, the randomly selected Joke of the Day on his website happened to be "I tell ya I get no respect from anyone. I bought a cemetery plot. The guy said, 'There goes the neighborhood!'" This led his wife, Joan Dangerfield, to choose "There goes the neighborhood" as the epitaph on his headstone, which has become so well known that it has been used as a New York Times crossword puzzle clue.[53][54]
Dangerfield's widow held an event in which the word "respect" had been emblazoned in the sky, while each guest was given a live monarch butterfly for a butterfly-release ceremony led by Farrah Fawcett.[55]
Legacy
[edit]
UCLA's Division of Neurosurgery named a suite of operating rooms after him and gave him the "Rodney Respect Award", which his widow presented to Jay Leno on October 20, 2005. It was presented on behalf of the David Geffen School of Medicine/Division of Neurosurgery at UCLA at their 2005 Visionary Ball.[56] Other recipients of the "Rodney Respect Award" include Tim Allen (2007),[57] Jim Carrey (2009), Louie Anderson (2010),[58] Bob Saget (2011), Chelsea Handler (2012),[59] Chuck Lorre (2013),[60] Kelsey Grammer (2014),[61] Brad Garrett (2015),[62] Jon Lovitz (2016),[63] Jamie Masada (2019),[64] Jimmy Fallon (2021),[65] and Whitney Cummings (2022).[66]
In memoriam, Saturday Night Live ran a short sketch of Dangerfield (played by Darrell Hammond) at the gates of heaven. Saint Peter mentions that he heard Dangerfield got no respect in life, which prompts Dangerfield to spew an entire string of his famous one-liners. After he's done, he asks why Saint Peter was so interested. Saint Peter replies, "I just wanted to hear those jokes one more time" and waves him into heaven, prompting Dangerfield to joyfully declare: "Finally! A little respect!"[67] On September 10, 2006, Comedy Central's Legends: Rodney Dangerfield commemorated his life and legacy. Featured comedians included Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Jay Leno, Ray Romano, Roseanne Barr, Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Saget, Jerry Stiller, Kevin Kline, and Jeff Foxworthy.[68]
In 2007, a Rodney Dangerfield tattoo was among the most popular celebrity tattoos in the United States.[69]
On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, May 29, 2009, Leno credited Dangerfield with popularizing the style of joke he had long been using. The format of the joke is that the comedian tells a sidekick how bad something is, and the sidekick—in this case, guitar player Kevin Eubanks—sets up the joke by asking just how bad that something is.[70]
The official Rodney Dangerfield website was nominated for a Webby Award after it was relaunched by his widow, Joan Dangerfield, on what would have been his 92nd birthday, November 22, 2013.[71] Since then, Dangerfield has been honored with two additional Webby Award nominations and one win.[72][73]
In 2014, Dangerfield was awarded an honorary doctorate posthumously from Manhattanville College, officially deeming him Dr. Dangerfield.[74]
Beginning on June 12, 2017, Los Angeles City College Theatre Academy hosted the first class of The Rodney Dangerfield Institute of Comedy. The class is a stand-up comedy class which is taught by comedienne Joanie Willgues, aka Joanie Coyote.[75][76]
In August 2017, a plaque honoring Dangerfield was installed in Kew Gardens, his old Queens neighborhood.[77]
In 2019, an inscription was made to the "Wall of Life" at Hebrew University's Mt. Scopus Campus that reads "Joan and Rodney Dangerfield."[78]

American stand-up comedian (1921–2004)
Jack Roy (born Jacob Cohen; November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004), better known by the pseudonym Rodney Dangerfield, was an American stand-up comedian, actor, screenwriter, and producer. He was known for his self-deprecating one-liner humor, his catchphrase "I don't get no respect!"[2] and his monologues on that theme.
He began his career working as a stand-up comic at the Fantasy Lounge in New York City. His act grew in popularity as he became a mainstay on late-night talk shows throughout the 1960s and 1970s, eventually developing into a headlining act on the Las Vegas casino circuit.
He appeared in a few bit parts in films, such as The Projectionist, throughout the 1970s, but his breakout film role came in 1980 as a boorish nouveau riche golfer in the ensemble comedy Caddyshack, which was followed by two additional successful films in which he starred: 1983's Easy Money and 1986's Back to School. Additional film work kept him busy through the rest of his life, mostly in comedies, but with a rare dramatic role in 1994's Natural Born Killers as an abusive father. Health troubles curtailed his output through the early 2000s before his death in 2004, following a month in a coma due to complications from heart valve surgery.[3]
Early life
[edit]
Rodney Dangerfield was born Jacob Cohen[4] in the Village of Babylon, New York, on November 22, 1921.[5] He was the son of Jewish parents Dorothy "Dotty" Teitelbaum and the vaudevillian performer Phillip Cohen, whose stage name was Phil Roy. His mother was born in Hungary.[6] Phillip Cohen was rarely home; his son normally saw him only twice a year. Late in life, Cohen begged for, and received, his son's forgiveness.[7]
Cohen's mother was reportedly emotionally distant for most of his childhood and did not show signs of affection towards her son.[8] In an interview with Howard Stern on May 25, 2004, Dangerfield told Stern that he had been molested by a man in his neighborhood. The man would pay Rodney a nickel and kiss him for five minutes.[9]
After Cohen's father abandoned the family, his mother moved him and his sister to Kew Gardens, Queens, where Dangerfield attended Richmond Hill High School, graduating in 1939. To support himself and his family, he delivered groceries and sold newspapers and ice cream at the beach.[7]
Career
[edit]
Early career
[edit]
At the age of 15, he began to write for stand-up comedians while performing at the Nevele, a former resort in Ellenville, New York.[10] Then, at the age of 19 he legally changed his name to Jack Roy.[11][12] He struggled financially for nine years, at one point performing as a singing waiter until he was fired, before taking a job selling aluminum siding in the mid-1950s to support his wife and family.[13][14] He later quipped he was so little known that when he gave up show business that "I was the only one who knew I quit."[15]
In the early 1960s, he started reviving his career as an entertainer. Still working as a salesman by day, he returned to the stage, performing at hotels in the Catskill Mountains, but still finding minimal success. He fell into debt, about $20,000 by his own estimate and couldn't get booked. He later joked, "I played one club; it was so far out, my act was reviewed in Field & Stream."[16]
Dangerfield came to realize that what he lacked was an "image", a well-defined on-stage persona that audiences could relate to, one that would distinguish him from other comics. After being shunned by some premier comedy venues, he returned home where he began developing a character for whom nothing goes right.
Roy took the name Rodney Dangerfield from an episode by Jack Benny on his radio program in a 1941 broadcast.[17] The name was referenced as an actor who Jack had invited to his upcoming Christmas Party, but Mary Livingstone had never heard of him. The name surfaces again in the December 15, 1946, episode as a "movie star" on Jack's Christmas Card list.[18] The name was also used by Ricky Nelson in a 1962 television episode of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, as a phony name for a blind date.[19]
Career surge
[edit]
Dangerfield reached national prominence appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show in March 1967.[20] He soon began headlining shows in Las Vegas and continued making frequent appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.[21] He also became a regular on The Dean Martin Show and appeared on The Tonight Show more than 70 times.[22]
In 1969, Dangerfield teamed up with longtime friend Anthony Bevacqua to build the Dangerfield's comedy club in New York City, a venue where he could perform on a regular basis without having to constantly travel. The club remained in continuous operation until October 14, 2020. Dangerfield's was the venue for several HBO comedy specials starring such stand-up comics as Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Tim Allen, Roseanne Barr, Robert Townsend, Jeff Foxworthy, Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks, Rita Rudner, Andrew Dice Clay, Louie Anderson, Dom Irrera, and Bob Saget.[citation needed]
In 1978, Dangerfield was invited to be the keynote speaker at Harvard University's Class Day, an annual ceremony for seniors the day before commencement.[23]
His 1980 comedy album No Respect won a Grammy Award.[24] One of his TV specials featured a musical number, "Rappin' Rodney", which appeared on his 1983 follow-up album, Rappin' Rodney. In December 1983, the "Rappin' Rodney" single became one of the first Hot 100 rap records, and the associated video was an early MTV hit.[25] The video featured cameo appearances by Don Novello as a last rites priest munching on Rodney's last meal of fast food in a styrofoam container and Pat Benatar as a masked executioner pulling a hangman's knot. The two appear in a dream sequence wherein Dangerfield is condemned to die and does not get any respect, even in Heaven, as the gates close without his being permitted to enter.
Career peak
[edit]
Though his acting career had begun much earlier in obscure movies like The Projectionist (1971),[10] Dangerfield's career took off during the early 1980s, when he began acting in hit comedy movies.
One of Dangerfield's more memorable performances was in the 1980 golf comedy Caddyshack, in which he played an obnoxious nouveau riche property developer who was a guest at a golf club, where he clashed with the uptight Judge Elihu Smails (played by Ted Knight). His role was initially smaller, but because he and fellow cast members Chevy Chase and Bill Murray proved adept at improvisation, their roles were greatly expanded during filming, much to the chagrin of some of their castmates.[26] Initial reviews of Caddyshack praised Dangerfield's standout performance among the wild cast.[27] His appearance in Caddyshack led to starring roles in Easy Money and Back to School, for which he also served as co-writer. Unlike his stand-up persona, his comedy film characters were portrayed as successful, confident and generally popular despite being characteristically loud, brash, and detested by the wealthy elite.
Throughout the 1980s, Dangerfield also appeared in a series of commercials for Miller Lite beer, including one in which various celebrities who had appeared in the ads were holding a bowling match. With the score tied, after a bearded Ben Davidson told Rodney, "All we need is one pin, Rodney", Dangerfield's ball went down the lane and bounced perpendicularly off the head pin, landing in the gutter without knocking down any of the pins. He also appeared in the endings of Billy Joel's music video of "Tell Her About It" and Lionel Richie's video of "Dancing on the Ceiling".[28]
In 1990, Dangerfield was involved in Where's Rodney?, an unsold TV pilot for NBC. The show starred Jared Rushton as a teenager, also named Rodney, who could summon Dangerfield whenever he needed guidance about his life.[29][30]
In a change of pace from the comedy persona that made him famous, he played an abusive father in Natural Born Killers in a scene for which he wrote or rewrote all of his own lines.[31]
Dangerfield was rejected for membership in the Motion Picture Academy in 1995 by the head of the academy's Actors Section, Roddy McDowall. After fan protests, the academy reconsidered, but Dangerfield then refused to accept membership.[32]
In March 1995, Dangerfield was the first celebrity to personally own a website and create content for it.[33] He interacted with fans who visited his site via an "E-mail me" link, often surprising people with a reply.[34] By 1996, Dangerfield's website proved to be such a hit that he made Websight magazine's list of the "100 Most Influential People on the Web".[35]
Dangerfield appeared in "Burns, Baby Burns", an episode of the animated television series The Simpsons in which he played Mr. Burns's son Larry Burns, a character who is essentially a parody of Dangerfield's onstage persona. He also appeared as himself in an episode of Home Improvement.
Dangerfield appears in the 2000 Adam Sandler film Little Nicky, playing Lucifer, the father of Satan (Harvey Keitel) and grandfather of Nicky (Sandler).
Dangerfield was recognized by the Smithsonian Institution, which has displayed one of his trademark white shirts and red ties. When he handed the shirt to the museum's curator, Rodney joked, "I have a feeling you're going to use this to clean Lindbergh's plane."[36]
Dangerfield played an important role in comedian Jim Carrey's rise to stardom. In the 1980s, after watching Carrey perform at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, Rodney signed Carrey to open for Dangerfield's Las Vegas show. The two toured together for about two more years.[37] When Dangerfield celebrated his 80th birthday on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in November 2001, Carrey made a surprise appearance to thank Dangerfield for his years of support.
Personal life
[edit]
Dangerfield was married twice to Joyce Indig, a singer. They married on October 3, 1951, divorced in 1961, remarried in 1963, and divorced again in 1970, although Rodney lived largely separated from his family.[38] Together, the couple had two children: son Brian Roy (born 1960) and daughter Melanie Roy-Friedman, born after her parents remarried. From 1993 until his death, Dangerfield was married to Joan Child, whom he met in 1983 at a flower shop she owned in Santa Monica, California.[39][40]
At the time of a People magazine article on Dangerfield in 1980, he was sharing an apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side with a housekeeper, his poodle Keno, and his closest friend of 30 years, Joe Ancis, whom Dangerfield called "the funniest man in the world";[41] Ancis was also a friend of and major influence on Lenny Bruce.[42] Ancis, who Roseanne Barr described as "too psychologically damaged to be able to live in a germ-infested world on his own", lived with Dangerfield until Ancis's death in 2001.[40][43][44]
Dangerfield resented being confused with his on-stage persona. Although his wife Joan described him as "classy, gentlemanly, sensitive and intelligent,"[45] he was often treated like the loser he played and documented this in his 2004 autobiography, It's Not Easy Bein' Me: A Lifetime of No Respect but Plenty of Sex and Drugs. In this work, he also discussed being a marijuana smoker; the book's original title was My Love Affair with Marijuana.[46]
Although Jewish, Dangerfield referred to himself as an atheist during an interview with Howard Stern on May 25, 2004, about four months before his death. Dangerfield added during the interview that he was a "logical" atheist, adding: "We're gorillas - does a gorilla come back?" In the same interview, he lamented that he "suffered greatly for being a perfectionist"; he also said "My mother never hugged me, kissed me, nothing, okay? Other kids would go to sleep listening to a fairy tale. I went to sleep with a fight downstairs, listening to a guy yelling 'Enough! Enough!'"[47]
Later years and death
[edit]
On November 22, 2001 (his 80th birthday), Dangerfield suffered a mild stroke while doing stand-up on The Tonight Show. While Dangerfield was performing, host Jay Leno noticed something was wrong with Dangerfield's movements and asked his producer to call the paramedics.[48] During Dangerfield's hospital stay, the staff were reportedly upset that he smoked marijuana in his room.[49] Dangerfield returned to the Tonight Show a year later, performing on his 81st birthday.[49]
On April 8, 2003, Dangerfield underwent brain surgery to improve blood flow in preparation for heart valve-replacement surgery on a later date.[50] The heart surgery took place on August 24, 2004.[51] Upon entering the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center, he uttered another characteristic one-liner when asked how long he would be hospitalized: "If all goes well, about a week. If not, about an hour and a half."[52]
Dangerfield died on October 5, 2004. He was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. On the day of Dangerfield's death, the randomly selected Joke of the Day on his website happened to be "I tell ya I get no respect from anyone. I bought a cemetery plot. The guy said, 'There goes the neighborhood!'" This led his wife, Joan Dangerfield, to choose "There goes the neighborhood" as the epitaph on his headstone, which has become so well known that it has been used as a New York Times crossword puzzle clue.[53][54]
Dangerfield's widow held an event in which the word "respect" had been emblazoned in the sky, while each guest was given a live monarch butterfly for a butterfly-release ceremony led by Farrah Fawcett.[55]
Legacy
[edit]
UCLA's Division of Neurosurgery named a suite of operating rooms after him and gave him the "Rodney Respect Award", which his widow presented to Jay Leno on October 20, 2005. It was presented on behalf of the David Geffen School of Medicine/Division of Neurosurgery at UCLA at their 2005 Visionary Ball.[56] Other recipients of the "Rodney Respect Award" include Tim Allen (2007),[57] Jim Carrey (2009), Louie Anderson (2010),[58] Bob Saget (2011), Chelsea Handler (2012),[59] Chuck Lorre (2013),[60] Kelsey Grammer (2014),[61] Brad Garrett (2015),[62] Jon Lovitz (2016),[63] Jamie Masada (2019),[64] Jimmy Fallon (2021),[65] and Whitney Cummings (2022).[66]
In memoriam, Saturday Night Live ran a short sketch of Dangerfield (played by Darrell Hammond) at the gates of heaven. Saint Peter mentions that he heard Dangerfield got no respect in life, which prompts Dangerfield to spew an entire string of his famous one-liners. After he's done, he asks why Saint Peter was so interested. Saint Peter replies, "I just wanted to hear those jokes one more time" and waves him into heaven, prompting Dangerfield to joyfully declare: "Finally! A little respect!"[67] On September 10, 2006, Comedy Central's Legends: Rodney Dangerfield commemorated his life and legacy. Featured comedians included Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Jay Leno, Ray Romano, Roseanne Barr, Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Saget, Jerry Stiller, Kevin Kline, and Jeff Foxworthy.[68]
In 2007, a Rodney Dangerfield tattoo was among the most popular celebrity tattoos in the United States.[69]
On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, May 29, 2009, Leno credited Dangerfield with popularizing the style of joke he had long been using. The format of the joke is that the comedian tells a sidekick how bad something is, and the sidekick—in this case, guitar player Kevin Eubanks—sets up the joke by asking just how bad that something is.[70]
The official Rodney Dangerfield website was nominated for a Webby Award after it was relaunched by his widow, Joan Dangerfield, on what would have been his 92nd birthday, November 22, 2013.[71] Since then, Dangerfield has been honored with two additional Webby Award nominations and one win.[72][73]
In 2014, Dangerfield was awarded an honorary doctorate posthumously from Manhattanville College, officially deeming him Dr. Dangerfield.[74]
Beginning on June 12, 2017, Los Angeles City College Theatre Academy hosted the first class of The Rodney Dangerfield Institute of Comedy. The class is a stand-up comedy class which is taught by comedienne Joanie Willgues, aka Joanie Coyote.[75][76]
In August 2017, a plaque honoring Dangerfield was installed in Kew Gardens, his old Queens neighborhood.[77]
In 2019, an inscription was made to the "Wall of Life" at Hebrew University's Mt. Scopus Campus that reads "Joan and Rodney Dangerfield."[78]
