- During the research process of my new video on Andy Kaufman, I gathered all of his material and edited all his best moments from talk show apperances during his active years 1977-83. Kaufman fan or not, this is a "must watch!"
My next video on Andy Kaufman will be out in a week or two.
DISCLAIMER*: A big portion of this video had to be trimmed out because of a content id claim.

Andy Kaufman Trolling Talk Shows Best Moments Comedy Comedian Stand Up David Letterman Funny Funniest Moments Hilarious Compilation Try Not To Laugh Tony Clifton WWE Wrestling Women Jerry Lawler Most Shocking Humor Hollywood First Troll Legendary Man On The Moon
I love how he wants an apology from Lawler, saying he was just playing the role of a bad guy wrestler, as he plays the role of someone who wants an apology from Lawler.
The reason people love him is because of the courage he had to be awkward and bomb on purpose, that was the joke. He was the ultimate troll.
No they loved him like bill mahars audience does… because they are idiots. They clap and laugh when he’s done speaking because they have no brain to reflect on what was said or why.
That’s not it though
@@oblivionzzzmike well thought out.
geniuous
People don't love that anymore lol.
I still watch his videos whenever I go through bad times...the bad times go away very quickly absolutely genius!!! They will never be another like him!!!🤔😥
Real communication with the audience. Jerry " doing it for the publicity " talking about himself. Which is funny. Andy is excitement. Pure originality. True joyous WTF was that 24/7.
He was the original troll comedian
The actors playing his kids, fabulous!
Absolutely, and I think they were ad-libbing because the 'Pop, you did Elvis' nearly broke Andy....
For me, the highlight of this vid is watching him and Freddie Blassie 🙏
Instant chemistry
I know. Freddie Blassie waving his cane telling him to sing and the look on his face had me laughing to the point of tearing up. 🤣
Andy is a legend
Goddamn his singing of Jambalaya was the best thing ever
He didn't want to sing
Andy was amazing!!! May he Rest In Peace
I swear when one of his 'sons' says 'pop you did Elvis' Andy broke character and laughed.
incredible person, maybe the most
No
Great compiklation. Thanks!
Andy Kaufman was the last comedic genius. Comedy died with him.
Oh, go lay an egg!
That courage and arcward boom was brick britiant.in a cool way .sweet dude.50/50 for ever human.
Or else bitch human50/50or else and shit.shebeast.much love carbon thingy.x
He was a comedic genius
He was over 30 years in the future!
16:16 made me do a double take seeing the words Jeffrey and Epstein so close together on the list. Crazy
The original “it’s a prank bro”
Jim Carrey nailed Kaufman's 3:21 moment.
pls tell me he did not punch him for real , i would be devastated,
am not from USA, never seen that before . I know Andy K. from TH-cam only.
It was staged;)
@@Pearl_media thank U
Wrestler: "i am a professional athlete" 🤣🤣🤣
Her facial mannerisms are the key to his whole act..... sometimes you can almost see the man behind them....almost.
is that jeff goldblum at 7:30 ?
yes
Andy Kaufman is like Raul Duke/Hunter Thompson with a lobotomy
lobotomy
He was too real for most people
Cow and the fields😂😂😂🙏
He played Merv like a fiddle!
Here I come to save the day.......
Credit to Letterman....he was probably in on it but still was uncomfortable...
"4k" lololololol
Where's his Latka character supposed to be from??
West European I think
@@Pearl_media thanks
Hello it me Andy and thank you very much
Yes I am alive and well
@@andykaufman5686 Hi andy
Hello how are you
Reminds me of Joaquin Phoenix joker
I’d be surprised if he wasn’t an influence on that part of the character 😂
Andy was too brave for his own good sometimes...the wrestler was a real jerk. Andy lived on the edge most of the time.
Ahead of the time
Who ever thought this man was funny ? SMH I think this is really who he is and everyone thought it was a joke . lol
The most over rated usa citizen to ever exist on earth. He was the joke hey?
Why is this funny?
If you dont get it, you dont get it...
Andy's humor is a about timing and awkwardness and that is joke and the joke was that some people couldn't get the joke. No soap radio. Either your in on joke or not.
stick to Kevin Hart.
@@fishhookism good one
Because it pissed off and confounded millions of people who were expecting rote, canned humor or a phony celeb interview. Imagine turning on your old fuzzy analog set in 1981 and seeing THIS.
I never thought he was even remotely funny. I suppose you’ll tell me “that’s the joke; it’s funny how NOT funny he is.” But still… no.
Correct. But fully propagandized herdlings feel obligated to call him a “genius.” He was nothing of the sort.
Thats the joke. Its funny how NOT funny he is
@@Dhardy316 Not being funny isn’t funny. Only fully propagandized, conformed modern herdlings feel in any way obligated to applaud his nonsense.
Andy was the original "troll". He was a master that very few people understood. Just like Bill Hicks (different style) when Letterman cut his act for nothing. Both were ahead of their time
@James Furey thats wild
Andy Kaufman has be dead 40 years now and I miss him, he was and still is one of the funniest men I have ever seen and still makes me laugh to this day. What a gift. Thanks for the ride funnyman. T.
There will never be anyone like him.
So original.
Such a unique and rebellious outlook and spirit, while still maintaining a feeling of innocence.
He played it perfectly.
Unpopular opinion, this is awful and dated
dax flame is pretty good
@gargantuaism not true. I understand what you're saying. But genius is always entertaining (for me).
Just experiencing his nonsense would continue to be again for me. 😀
Theres an indian standup comedian named Naman Arora. You can search him on TH-cam but idk if you can find a translated version.
4:40 the almost indignant delivery of that line 😅
- 'Did you write that?'
- _'No, I found it in a joke book'_
Andys career kinda feels like one of those stories where someone makes a deal with the devil and asks the devil to make him funny. And he ended trapped in a world where no matter what he did everyone thought it was a joke. Like what if all his rude characters and getting into fights and his akward bits was him trying as hard as he could to not be funny and end his career but the devils magic just made it all seem like a joke to us.
I see it more like a comedic genius who kept pushing the envelope of humor.
Like there's a scale of on one side being the easiest, most comfortable, and saving face or having your ego feel good about itself(?) and Andy took it to the other end of the scale, which is amazing to watch, because you have to be so fearless... it's an act of artful brilliance.
I guess the ultimate art of being a "Troll" is to never be outed as being one. I discovered Andy Kaufman after watching "Nathan For You" which I think takes it to the next level, because the "platform" isn't a slot chat show but a while series (or 4 currently) in it's own right. Long may skillful trolling like these continue!
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
this guys better than Marcel Duchamp, he should be in art galleries and museums, superb performing artist.
The Original Lawler incident was so we'll done...no wonder why everyone thought it was real as did I as kid in the early 90s I was like whoa... couldn't believe that happened on live t.v. very similar to the will smith thing recently. STILL shock's people unlike anything else whenever the unexpected happens on live t.v.
I was a kid in the 80s so I liked wrestling up until about 85-86 when I turned 12 but I remember this also and thought it was real they did such a damn good job and it's really cool to see Lawler's interview about it how nice he actually is in real life is cool
@@saturnociris2724 lol, your you're same age as my eldest brother. Yeah they sold it pretty good if people thought it was legit decade's later. Lawler looked way bigger back than than he did later in the 90s early 2000s...
I still think the will smith incident was a work
He was excellent as Latka. What a good comedian.
Latka was played by Bob Zmuda, not Andy.
Nobody know is this guy talking seriously 😂
What a genius👍
Andy was a original loved his sence of humor
Jerry Lawler was the perfect character to go against Andy.
Grandma? I love you......I love you too. That was a very nice moment. I love Andy
His three adopted sons...I'd never seen that before.... what a genius... that couldn't have been funnier if he'd written it.... I love that they're cracking up during the bit..
I think that was shortly before his death.
I think Andy actually did adopt these folks
I never got Tony or alot of his comedy but I'm glad I finally get it
He played Tony straight all the way to his death. The joke is he was Tony.
@@vampoftrance
Wow I never thought of that
I wonder if it's True?? That would be the Ultimate Joke that's for sure
I'm reading the Bob Zmouda book. The idea of Tony, a kind of totally sociopathic offensive guy, came from Bob's stories of working for Hollywood screenwriter Norman Wexler@@vampoftrance
So Awkward
I remember watching him & waiting for these appearances & being let down bcuz I didn't understand his comedy I was 10 & had stupid parents
Absurdity is a type of humor that only few people understand. It is rare to find this type of comedy at any time. Only few people really "get it"
I do wish that Andy did an audio book. To read one o the all time classic novels in the "foreign voice"
whoever made this is awesome. thanks!
Andy Kaufman is like Harley Davidson--If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand.
He's a motorcycle/ lifestyle clothing brand company i got it
Beloved by aging obese accountants and dentists?
Leaks oil and refuses to get with the times?
I wonder how the kids got on after we lost Andy. Hope they did ok.
I love the look he gives the audience when they laugh at the idea of him having a good time with himself.... he's a great comedian without except he doesn't have any jokes.
14:30 Lol he almost breaks character for a sec during this guys gold performance. It'd be nice to go back to a time when people could still realize this was just some silly shtick and appreciate it for what it was. They clearly know he's doing a silly character.
I could see Joaquin Phoenix playing him for some reason.
That would be f a s c i n a t i n g
I swear Norm MacDonald copied Andy and he did it perfectly 💖💖
They are completely different
The reason Andy had the greatest angle in wrestling ever was he knew the art of the work better than anyone in wrestling.
Very funny and original man! Thank you for this video! BR.
His goal was to make you feel uncomfortable and he was very good at it. That was his schtick. It was a fall-back position because he couldn’t actually be funny.
When you say one in a million Andy was one in a billion, absolute genius
20:39 Is that Chris Rock on the right?
It's David Letterman.
@@j.cgallagher7092 I mean the one with blue hat
I'm sure Kaufman and Lawler spawned the Jerry Springer Show!!.
This was when Dave was at his coolest putting on unique talent like Andy and Pee Wee Herman!
This guy is a must for all modern comedians. Especially right now. Someone who was never funny... ever. Never articulate. And never seem to know where he was. But that was his thing. People would laugh and laugh.. not really knowing why. But that was their thing too.
I highly recommend you look into a man named William Montgomery. You might not like him, it takes a minute, but the guy was and still is a genius as a comedian.
Andy's sons inherited his quarter when he died.
If Andy were alive today and had a tick tock account..,.oh boy
Not funny dude was horrible
The word trolling never existed back then
"I was frightened for my life, too." Lololol
Not even funny
He lives in our hearts.
😻💓💓💔
Listen to the laugh @ 13:29 😂
Andy said himself that he was a "song and dance" man. A lot of people say he wasn't funny and he would probably agree with you that he wasn't a comedian
16:16 Maxine Epstein
Holy shit!! If you watch closely on the names scroll of his classmates, one of them is Jeffrey epstein... wtf
The original before Erica
Andre 😂
What would he've done with social media
The Original troll.
Mayby its funny but I am too drunk to anderstad You.
That was horrible when Andy got socked with a neck brace on and everything. I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ if Andy Kaufman did sue him but he should’ve.
It’s so sad that Andy died so young, so good to his parents, hugged so many people and loved them all. Bob Saget recycled a lot of what Andy Kaufman did, including the funny eyes and stuff.
The whole thing was planned. He and Lawler were friends. I'm sure his neck did hurt after the piledriver but the neck brace was not necessary. He told Lawler to slap him for real on the show.
It was an act.
Sure, people think it's funny now. Back then it was just awkward. Everyone praising him today would have painted him a different color back in the day
People hated him with a passion back then, not understanding that it was all an act. Others like myself got it, seeing this madman pull his little pranks on people and on national TV. I am a die hard fan and may be the only one to believe this but I truly believe Andy never died. It was his final stunt before retiring. That he pulled the ultimate Elvis impersonation in faking his death. Remember many people think Elvis faked his death. Sadly if he did, Andy can never come back because it would destroy his genius. I believe he said what needed to be said, made his mark on the world and is now living a normal life outside the spotlight. If you look deeper in more recent supposed Andy Kaufman incidents about him I think Andy may have been involved. I think he is giving weird clues he is alive and for a strange reason I also believe that in the movie Man on the Moon Andy played Tony Clifton at the end.
His sons 💀
Perfect!
Genius
legend
He such a OG
Where is Andy and his adopted children? It's been like 30 years now.
That first joke was trash.
But the joke about "First time wreatling a man."
That got me a little.
Maybe you just didn't get it. They weren't allowed to say those 2words in the kingdom. Think about it.
It was meant to be ...😂
