För att spinna vidare på ämnet komiker, så måste jag ju nämna den oefterhärmlige Rodney Dangerfield som tyvärr gick bort för några år sen. Han var i grunden scen-komiker (föregångaren till stå-upp), men han figurerade även i ett antal filmer, bl.a. kultklassikern "Caddyshack" ("Tom i Bollen" på svenska).
Denne man var en aning rund om midjan och hade ett mindre fördelaktigt utseende kan man väl säga. Dessa "egenskaper" utnyttjade han flitigt i sin självdepreverande repertoar, där fokus låg på hans egna tillkortakommanden. Nedan presenterar jag ett urval av citat från hans digra material.
- When I was born, I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother.
- My mother never breast fed me, she told me she only liked me as a friend.
- I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
- When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.
- I was so ugly my mother used to feed me with a sling shot.
- I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.
- I came from a real tough neighborhood. I put my hand in some cement and felt another hand.
- I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it.
- I found there was only one way to look thin. Hang out with fat people.
- My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.
- My cousin is gay. He went to London only to find out that Big Ben was a clock.
- A girl phoned me the other day and said: "- Come on over, there's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home.
- I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.
- My wife was afraid of the dark... then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light.
- I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.
- If it wasn't for pick-pockets I'd have no sex life at all.
- Some dog I got too. We call him Egypt. Because in every room, he leaves a pyramid.
