The last joke I sent him was from when he was in the hospital for the brain operation:
I get no respect. I asked the nurse for a cup of coffee. She brought me an iced latte. I asked for a glass of juice. She brought me a popcicle. I said, "What do I gotta do to get a little warmth around here?" She said, "What are you complaining about? This is the morgue."
My prayers go to his wife Joan. She sold Jungle Roses, and took care of him to his dying day. What better proof of love is there? Age doesn't matter when you have love like that. He was truly blessed where respect was concerned.

Dude, no disrespect but, those jokes are so bad that, had he lived they would have probably inspired material like, " I tell ya, I get no respect. Things have gotten so bad that some guy named Dave Brager is trying to write for me. I mean, what's he trying to do, ruin my act? Brager? That ain't anything to brag about."

You know, there is too much fucking PC around to meet the eye. I've been writing back and forth to the Rodney.com website for a decade. Rodney had a strong sense of humor and he could appreciate that joke because, if HE told it, he would get a huge laugh out of it. I was writing FOR him to say, and you know the man. You know that if he said it, he would get the reward of laughter that joke would deliver with the added benefit that he delivered the message personally.
What's the matter? Are there no serious comedic writers here? You have to fucking dump this Political Correctness crap if you're writing comedy that is going to come out the source's mouth, if ever.
You know, a bunch of us are contracted with the Tonight Show to sell them jokes. They only pay $50 a pop, but the contract says that we understand that anything we write, if they buy it, will pop out of Jay's mouth.
I don't much like the Tonight Show humor, and don't submit work anymore, but the process of logic, when writing, is to write for the performer. If you respect the performer, you will write stuff that only the performer could deliver, that is fresh, and that supplants the personna of the performer. That is the highest respect you can pay, for the perfomer brings something that other stand-ups can't compete. They bring their personna, the inenviable entourage of memories that trail in their wake, and this is what fuels the success of the bad joke, for the lips that purse around your words cannot be questioned as to why he or she uttered them.
I personally believe that only Rodney could do Rodney's jokes. You need to comprehend the logic of your performers. If you're going to write humor, you need to care enough about those performers to only send the very best that will keep them fresh and alive and laughing.
Rodney loved to let us laugh at him. That joke served his purpose. That is how I prove my respect for the man. I, here, take the abuse for the joke, but no one can argue the fact that if you heard Rodney say it, you would never question the joke.
Therefore, even though you are trying to be respectful to the man in his passing, you're not laughing, and he deserves to hear the laughter. He earned it.

It's not political correctness, dickwad. It's just that your jokes suck. They're shit awful. They have poorly delineated analogies, excess verbiage, and they don't have the rhythm to sound like they would come from Rodney's mouth.
If you want to do a dead Rodney joke, fine. Nobody gives a fuck. But at least make the jokes funny! For instance, make some kind of clear analogy between Heaven and some frustrating and insulting things on earth. Like what if getting into Heaven was like getting on an airplane, or trying to get into an exclusive club. Just off the top of my head:
"I tell ya, even in Heaven I get no respect. At the pearly gates, Saint Peter asked me for a picture I.D. Then he x-rayed my shoes!"
"I said, look, Pete, I'm on the list. He said 'Sure you are. Get back in line!' So to get into Heaven, you gotta know somebody."
Okay, not great, but about a thousand times better than the shit you posted. These could at least have the germ of an idea that can be worked on, not like yours. Please tell me you don't make any money writing jokes. And please don't let it be big money. Then I'd have to kill myself.
