Rodney Dangerfield
Rodney Dangerfield was an American comedian (1921–2004) known for his self-deprecating humor built around the catchphrase I don't get no respect.
His rapid-fire delivery of one-liners about his failures with women, his looks, and his family became his signature style.
He appeared in films like *Caddyshack* and *Back to School*, and his comedy club Dangerfield's helped launch other comedians' careers.
