LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rodney Dangerfield, the goggle-eyed comic famed for his self-deprecating one-liners and signature phrase "I can't get no respect," died on Tuesday at age 82, his publicist said.

Dangerfield, who became a pop culture sensation with a string of broad film comedies starting with "Caddyshack" in 1980, died at 1:20 p.m. PDT (4:20 p.m. EDT) at the UCLA Medical Center, where he had undergone heart valve replacement surgery in August, spokesman Kevin Sasaki said in a statement.

"I get no respect I tell ya, no respect at all! I wanted to teach my dog how to beg...so I brought him into the bedroom!"

R.I.P. :(

One of the greats.

Not too many comics that appeared on Ed Sullivan and also appealed to today's audiences.

R.I.P.

Damn, he was in the hospital for a while, wasn't he. He was a hilarious man and always will be remembered.

RIP, Rodney. :( Hopefully St. Peter will give you some respect. If not, hopefully he gives you a bag of marshmellows.

That sucks. Just heard a show of Howard Stern with Rodney as a guest. Howard is a huge Rodney fan, and got him to talk about growing up with his miserable mother. Honest to God, that poor guy had a rotten life. He deserved all the fame and attention in the end... and RESPECT!
