I’m at the age where I want two girls. In case I fall asleep they will have someone to talk to.

In classic Rodney Dangerfield fashion, the line turns sexual bravado into self-deprecation. The speaker claims to want “two girls,” a setup that suggests youthful virility or a fantasy of excess, then undercuts it with the admission that he might simply fall asleep—implying age, fatigue, and diminished stamina. The punchline also reframes the women’s presence as companionship for each other rather than for him, intensifying the joke’s theme: the comedian as inadequate, overlooked, or unable to “keep up.” It’s a compact example of Dangerfield’s persona—craving attention and validation while insisting he doesn’t get it, even in situations where he ostensibly has the advantage.
