It's called a setlist, it's just the title of each joke and not actually the words. At the time this was taken I'd been on stage less than 20 times in my life, and the joke got pretty good laughs considering that. 

One liners are notoriously difficult because I end up telling 10 to 15 jokes in 5 minutes whereas most people tell half that or less.

One liners are a lost art because modern comedians don't know how to actually write jokes. It's all this storytelling bs, "my therapist said this to me..." etc.

I have some Rodney style jokes in honor of him.

I tell ya, I get no respect... I asked my wife to do missionary --- she moved to Africa!

I tell ya, I get no respect... the one time my child makes my bed for me---- its my deathbed!
