Oh my god - how cool is this guy???

after watching Man on The Moon (how good is Jim Carrey in that?!?) I bought an Andy Kaufman docmentory and The Midnight Special.

Hes Great!!!!! hits the brit sence of humour spot on. I love the way he is constantly taking the piss. Tony Clifton is a great idea also. Now theres a man who would not sell out - it was all about the art.

died way to young aka Bill Hicks

any opinions??

Olly :p

I definitely think Andy Kaufman is great. From the Mighty Mouse bit on SNL, to his TV special, even throughout the whole wrestling escapade,he was really doing something different that I found totally hilarious as well. It's a shame that he died, but I'm glad he brought what he did to comedy. I found him to show a lot more sincerity in his work than he's given credit for.

Olly,

It's all about 'My Breakfast With Blassie'. The most disturbing movie of all time.

I LOVE My Breakfast With Blassie! God, it's so awful when Freddie Blassie rubs the pregnant asian woman's stomach and calls her Buddha. Oy vey!

NickFlanagan,

that's it! that's the worst. i also like the subtle things, like the way he orders food, no pancakes, and then when they get dessert. so great.

....and then they got into that big argument with the other people in the restaurant!!Funny!!:lol:
I also liked the documentary that Comedy Central used to show about his wrestling in Memphis!He talked bad about us country folks!!!

bingolong,
Yeah, "I'm From Hollywood" is hilarious--so-ap, can you say that with me? That shit cracks me up. And I love on the TV special when he sings "Friendly, Friendly World". I wonder if Kaufman and Pryor crossed paths or worked together?

NickFlanagan,
They crossed paths!All roads converge when they're going the same place!

Jennifer,

did they ever work together?? does Richard like him??

Olly :p

Olly,
Richard loved him!
