Somebody brought this aboard ship in 1986 when we were on a Med Cruise in the Navy. We memorized every bit of it. It took me 30 years to remember his name and find this bit. It's still hilarious.

I remember when this Rodney Dangerfield hosted this Young Comedians special on HBO. It was great! It had other really good comedians (Louie Anderson, Maurice LaMarche, Sam Kinneson to name a few) on it as well. This football routine that Bob Nelson does is, by far, easily one of the funniest comedy bits I have ever seen, bar none!

Great vid. Rodney: "No Pictures, I don't want to be seen here". In his own club. LOFL.

Everyone please send out good thoughts and prayers for Bob, as he's currently battling colon cancer.

OMG I can't believe the media don't ban this. Bob Nelson's routine was arguably the funniest of them all. I've used his drunk routine to introduce myself to ladies back when I was young and bar hopped. It actually worked a few times.

OMG, I have been lookingfor this for 30 years , 😄 and it's still funny and the most quotable!!Good memories!Please post the whole show if you have it.This one was a classic!!Thanks for posting

I’m looking at the comments and seeing everyone reminisce about seeing this when it first came out and how it made them bust out laughing. I’m a 31 year old male born in 1990, watching this for the first time and my gut BUST! some things really are timeless.

Saw Rodney and Bob Nelson doing this at Madison Sq garden 1986. My brother and laughed so hard. Classic@

I'll pop on here and watch this every once in awhile. I even introduced my sons to this, who are in their early 20s, and they both loved it. This one was one of the greatest routines ever. Rodney had an eye for talent. Even today, HBO will occasionally rerun this comedy special, it was THAT good.

Classic. I remember seeing this on HBO back in the day. Me and brothers would recite some of the lines from this for years. Loved watching this.

He absolutely killed this! I watch it every other month just to brighten my day.

Thank you for making a channel for Rodney Dangerfield. I'm in my late 50s and I grew up watching the one-of-a-kind Rodney Dangerfield. He had a big heart for other comedians and proof of that was his club called Dangerfield's. So many people of Comedy got their start at Rodney's place. He will be forever missed by me and I always smile when someone mentions his name. Rest in peace Rodney you were a legend and still are, you got my respect. Thank you. I also subbed this Channel and thank you for the Memories. A Psychiatrist once said laughter is free and it's the best medicine out there. Peace everyone.

I don’t know how many comedians were discovered by Rodney, but I watched many. I loved those.

I recorded this off HBO back when the controller for the cable box was tethered and had a separate button for each channel. Bob Nelson's bit was the highlight of the show, but Sam Kinison, Yakov Smirnoff, and even Bob Saget were all great. That VHS tape was probably stretched an extra 2 inches from all the times it had to be rewound.

When I first saw this a l-o-n-g time ago, I thought I was going to die from lack of being able to breathe due to laughing so hard.....and it's still a great routine today in 2022......:)

I was 9yrs old when this came out.. laughed my ass off them and I still find it funny today. I miss the good old days of stand-up comedy

Crying so hard at this routine. So funny.

"Dain bramage". I've used that many times since I first saw the HBO special way back then. But I had forgotten where I heard it first. Thanks, Bob! You've added an important term to our cultural discourse.

Me and my old man caught this one night and we laughed our ballad off. I was 12 and I memorized this routine ( before you tube ) so that me and my pops could laugh at it . I used to do this routine for my dads friends and we would all piss ourselves. Yes it’s racist m yes it’s homophobic . Everything I find funny. Bob Nelson was a genius and made fun of everyone equally . What a comic legend. Thanks for the memories Bob .

Glad I came across this guy never gets old makes me lmao every time genius ty tc staysafe

Whose still cracking up to this in 2022?!?!?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣

I remember watching that when it aired. Extremely funny and memorable. I remember Bob doing a stage act perhaps on KERA where he would run in one door that would put him out of the audiences view then come back out another door that would be on the other side of the stage or a story above the floor level. He would literally sprint and come back out a different character. Had to be exhausting but he kept that energy up all the way through. Quite a talent.

Tony Cappuccino is my favorite. What a ball player.

This guy is fucking brilliant. One of the funniest comedians I've ever seen, yet he never got the recognition he deserved. They give unfunny comedians like Ray Romano or George Lopez their own T.V. show while Nelson just faded away. It's a shame.

My family was hosting extended family for a family reunion when this first came out. One late night we started watching this and my Auntie came back out of the room to watch it because we were laughing so hard. Bob Nelson was the part when she came back out of the room. This entire show was funny as hell though! This was when there were only a couple of TVs in the house.
