It was all on act, Lawler isn't really being an asshole
By: MunkiesbrainS. on 30 Dec 08, 21:27:00
Letterman's reaction when Andy gets slapped is priceless.

Ooooh...that was so funny. Way to take a slap for comedy! haha

I didn't realize the context of your comments. My mistake.
By: soir8. on 22 Dec 08, 01:21:44
Read the comment I was replying to dickface. I understood the irony and found the whole thing hilarious. My comment was in response to ronoman88's racist bullshit.
By: cinemaniac31st. on 21 Dec 08, 21:11:09
i dont give a fucking damn if your a fan or not, but dont insult him you fucking dick.
By: RevDarkehorse. on 21 Dec 08, 20:30:09
"Dumbass"? Thanks for those witty remarks. So I take it that if you don't like Andy Kaufman then there is something wrong with you. Whatever. Let's all join the Andy Kaufman cult because he was the greatest thing since sliced bread! He wasn't all that, folks. And now he's dead. The world has moved on "dumbass".
By: cinemaniac31st. on 21 Dec 08, 14:54:49
mentally ill? he was funny and entertaining you dumbass
By: KeithMozingo. on 21 Dec 08, 13:43:11
At 45 seconds into the interview he sets up this whole staged event. It was Andy(real one..?) playing an Andy on Lettermen who earlier played a differnt Andy (Hollywood Andy) who played the "bad guy" at the wrestling shows. Too me, it is the overall situation that is the comedy in my opinion. Remember, this is 1982 or 83 when wrestling was not as big or as cartoonish as it became during the mid 80's. After 1985, he would have never done this routine had he lived and not done it previously.
By: KeithMozingo. on 21 Dec 08, 13:31:13
It was staged!!?? Well...duuuuhh.. While thinking of it being staged you missed the irony of what Kaufman was doing.
By: RevDarkehorse. on 20 Dec 08, 20:24:09
If you are a fan of Kaufman and admire his work, that's fine. But don't think that those of us who don't get what Kaufman was trying to accomplish as mediocre minded. The term "square" is subjective. You have a right to think what you like and I have a right to think what I like. If I don't share your views, it does not mean that I am any lesser of a person than you or that I'm not as "cool" as you. Good day.
By: Werebull. on 20 Dec 08, 12:11:33
Kaufman was a genius and he always stuck it to the man. Sometimes his main purpose was to amuse himself at the expense of the public and what they believed. But great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds and you are just one of the squares that don't get him, never have and never will. You shouldn't watch anything he did 'cause it's not for you.
By: RevDarkehorse. on 20 Dec 08, 01:53:39
I think he was mentally ill. He wasn't funny or entertaining.
By: soir8. on 19 Dec 08, 21:46:44
Isn't it great how Andy and Jerry were actually good friends and staged the whole thing? Shut the fuck up ronoman.
By: soir8. on 19 Dec 08, 21:43:31
LJARSONBECK, grow a sense of humour. The hypothetical situation you described sounds fucking hilarious.
By: Milkymilk8. on 19 Dec 08, 17:07:44
David Letterman is the BEST! He always handles these situations so well, even in his interview with Madonna
By: KeithMozingo. on 19 Dec 08, 15:28:34
He was probably wondering in 1982 how he could get a moron in 2008 to ask stupid questions like this. That is why he was brilliant.
By: KeithMozingo. on 19 Dec 08, 15:22:28
The brilliance of Kaufman... my oh my. Don't you people get it? Of course we know wrestling is staged and this also. But he was staging a fake on top of a fake. He was selling an idea that you knew was fake while faking something that is fake if that makes any sense.. His comedy was about selling you the idea. He was an entertainer and not a comedian.
By: LuckyIrishGirl08. on 17 Dec 08, 13:18:27
He was Jewish but did not practice Judaism. His mother and father did. He practiced what some have called a cult but was only religious meditation.
By: 1obsolete. on 17 Dec 08, 12:35:26
he is both his mother and father are jewish.
