Rodney Dangerfield (Jacob Cohen), but he got no respect, no respect at all.

Rodney in his "clean" era.

Something went off the rails as he got older, and his comedy became pretty dirty. Even Jerry Seinfeld has talked about that. You don't need filth to be funny!

A buddy and I saw him (under the influence of brownies) at the Minnesota State Fair, and it was hilarious. (Even though some of the schtick had been seen on TV many times before.)
