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
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 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.
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.
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
4:40 the almost indignant delivery of that line 😅
- 'Did you write that?'
- _'No, I found it in a joke book'_
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 RUclips but idk if you can find a translated version.
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 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!!!🤔😥
He was the original troll comedian
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
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 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👍
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.
Andy was a original loved his sence of humor
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 RUclips only.
It was staged;)
@@Pearl_media thank U
Grandma? I love you......I love you too. That was a very nice moment. I love Andy
Jerry Lawler was the perfect character to go against Andy.
I think Andy actually did adopt these folks
incredible person, maybe the most
No
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"
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. 🤣
He was over 30 years in the future!
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?
Andy Kaufman was the last comedic genius. Comedy died with him.
Oh, go lay an egg!
Goddamn his singing of Jambalaya was the best thing ever
He didn't want to sing
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
I do wish that Andy did an audio book. To read one o the all time classic novels in the "foreign voice"
Andy is a legend
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
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.
He was too real for most people
whoever made this is awesome. thanks!
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.
The reason Andy had the greatest angle in wrestling ever was he knew the art of the work better than anyone in wrestling.
I could see Joaquin Phoenix playing him for some reason.
That would be f a s c i n a t i n g
Very funny and original man! Thank you for this video! BR.
I swear Norm MacDonald copied Andy and he did it perfectly 💖💖
They are completely different
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.
This was when Dave was at his coolest putting on unique talent like Andy and Pee Wee Herman!
I swear when one of his 'sons' says 'pop you did Elvis' Andy broke character and laughed.
Andy was amazing!!! May he Rest In Peace
If Andy were alive today and had a tick tock account..,.oh boy
Who ever thought this man was funny ? SMH I think this is really who he is and everyone thought it was a joke . lol
When you say one in a million Andy was one in a billion, absolute genius
16:16 made me do a double take seeing the words Jeffrey and Epstein so close together on the list. Crazy
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
20:39 Is that Chris Rock on the right?
It's David Letterman.
@@j.cgallagher7092 I mean the one with blue hat
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.
I'm sure Kaufman and Lawler spawned the Jerry Springer Show!!.
Not funny dude was horrible
is that jeff goldblum at 7:30 ?
yes
Great compiklation. Thanks!
Cow and the fields😂😂😂🙏
Not even funny
The word trolling never existed back then
He lives in our hearts.
Andy Kaufman is like Raul Duke/Hunter Thompson with a lobotomy
lobotomy
"I was frightened for my life, too." Lololol
Holy shit!! If you watch closely on the names scroll of his classmates, one of them is Jeffrey epstein... wtf
Reminds me of Joaquin Phoenix joker
I’d be surprised if he wasn’t an influence on that part of the character 😂
16:16 Maxine Epstein
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
Credit to Letterman....he was probably in on it but still was uncomfortable...
Listen to the laugh @ 13:29 😂
He was a comedic genius
Her facial mannerisms are the key to his whole act..... sometimes you can almost see the man behind them....almost.
Andy was too brave for his own good sometimes...the wrestler was a real jerk. Andy lived on the edge most of the time.
The original before Erica
Andre 😂
Jim Carrey nailed Kaufman's 3:21 moment.
😻💓💓💔
Mayby its funny but I am too drunk to anderstad You.
What would he've done with social media
Where is Andy and his adopted children? It's been like 30 years now.
Here I come to save the day.......
The original “it’s a prank bro”
Wrestler: "i am a professional athlete" 🤣🤣🤣
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.
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.
He played Merv like a fiddle!
The Original troll.
Ahead of the time
Perfect!
Genius
"4k" lololololol
legend
His sons 💀
He such a OG
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
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 ...😂
@@j.cgallagher7092 best comment
I saw the guy I was going to mug.
He was never funny. His only goal was to make people feel uncomfortable and/or pissed off. That's not comedy.
Sorry, I didn't think he was funny at all....
