  • On Rodney Dangerfield’s 1986 HBO special “It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me”, Bob Nelson performed several over-the-top impersonations including his punch drunk prizefighter character “Jiffy Jeff”. He shared the stage that night with Sam Kinison, Roseanne Barr, Jerry Seinfeld, Robert Townsend and Jeff Altman.

    This was the video that got me into stand-up in 1986. I recently headlined the Vegas Tropicana Laugh Factory, Rodney's old club. I thought about these Rodney specials all week. ❤❤😅😊

      I saw him in Boston in 1993. I almost turned blue laughed so hard I could not take a breath. He was like a cartoon character that suddenly came to life..

    This guy takes comedy to a new level! I love satire and improv! That's clever humor, highest form!😅 Followed him for years. I remember him saying that Red Skelton spoke to him early on in his career. He told him that he didn't need to use profanity in his act, that he was funny as he was without the F bombs! This video tells me it's early in his career when he thought the F bombs would have some weight. Anyway, an outstandingly person and blessed with a great humor! I take my " humor" and positive attitude everywhere I go and people enjoy the positive vibes😅!

    I'm a Brit so let's get that outta the way first. I saw Bob on a previous UA-cam video with the college football player routine which had tears running down my face.... times have changed though and that routine was evidently axed for obvious reasons. Then I saw another routine that was good... but without the football routine wasn't anywhere near as good and I wondered what would become of Bob. Now this has popped up and I'm baffled as to the timeline of his career.....BUT... without a doubt this is a brilliant routine and once again left me crying with laughter. Great work by what I can only assume is one of the American greats.

    The reason Bob Nelson cleaned up his act is because he became a born-again Christian he goes to a little church out here on Long Island, one day walked in to my church and I said I know with that guy he looks familiar, well after church I introduced myself and he told me who we was in like an idiot I started doing his skit his football skip and he didn’t even want to talk about it he definitely changed his Waze, And I’m glad

    Yeah, I agree guys. Lot of really good comedians came out of the mid-80s here of Dangerfield's and evening at The Improv. See if you guys can help me. There was an 80s comedian who did a perfect Johnny Carson and Carson was even in the crowd that night marveling over this guy. Did some other great impressions as well but I'll be damned if I can remember his name? I want to say his last name was lamarche or Le Mars? He kind of look like Fred Grandy who played on The Love Boat. Any ideas who this was?

      Boy this industry Hollywood or any of this type of industry of entertainment..doesn't really help people. as much as I thought it did when you become a comedian!
      I hope his fellow comedians help him out... If it was the Kardashians looking for donations people would line up
      even they already billionaires..
      yet here we have somebody that really has some good entertainment and a successful life with real nice to them and these are the ones that don't get it as easy.. this tells you how life is so unfair..
