No respect

So how are we supposed to mark the passing of Rodney Dangerfield? Does he get respect or not? I never really thought he was all that funny, and so I don't feel bad not giving him any respect. If you base your career on not getting respect, don't be surprised if people don't give it to you. But on the other hand, a comic who's staple is his "Let me tell you how respected I am" routine probably won't be to popular.

However, I did like his guest starring performance on The Simpsons as Larry Burns, Mr. Burns's boorish, long-lost son, who said, "Let me tell you, I get no regard. No regard, I tell you." That I can respect.
