what someone would say after telling a joke or other humorous anecdote, and then getting deadpan looks and no verbal acknowledgement from the people listening. "Yeah, so I heard Dave got a pet cat, oh well, probably the closest thing to pussy he'll ever have in his place, huh guys? hahaha!"
(silence and blank stares from everyone) "Geez...! Tough crowd, man....tough crowd!!" |

This was a Rodney Dangerfield line. He may or may not have coined it, but he made it uniquely his; he'd nervously adjust his tie while saying it.
A lot of his lines got into the wider lexicon, though younger people may not know who he was. He played the crazy ultra-rich guy in "Caddyshack". "I told a cab driver to take me where the action was, and he took me to MY house!"
(No laughter) (Nervously adjusts tie) "Oh, tough crowd, tough crowd..." |

Tough crowd." |
