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.

Peace,

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.

Peace,

David Brager

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.
