I can't get no respect

Rodney Dangerfield, the iconic comedian known for his self-deprecating humor and catchphrase "I can't get no respect," became a household name for his ability to make audiences laugh at his misfortunes. Born Jacob Cohen in 1921, Dangerfield struggled to find success in show business for many years before finally achieving fame in his 40s.

The phrase "I can't get no respect" became synonymous with Dangerfield's comedy persona, as he would often joke about his lack of recognition and appreciation in various aspects of his life. Whether it was his failed marriages, his unsuccessful attempts at starting a business, or his struggles with his weight, Dangerfield found humor in the everyday challenges he faced.

One of Dangerfield's most famous routines involved him lamenting about the lack of respect he received from his family, friends, and even his dog. He would often joke about how his wife would never let him forget his mistakes, his kids would never listen to him, and his dog would only come to him when he had food. Despite these setbacks, Dangerfield always managed to find the humor in his situation and turn it into a hilarious bit that resonated with audiences.
