    Andy Kauffman......

    Was he really certifiable or just very talented?

    I always hated Kaufman with a passion ...

    To me he was worse than Sandler and Schneider combined

    I'm very proud to have voted in the old SNL poll to have him banned from SNL for life

        I'm actually suspicious that this is NOT a joke post/statement kw made.

              Thing is with Andy is you either got his humor or you didn't. The guy loved pushing peoples' button.

                Yeah, I wouldn't even attempt to talk people into liking Andy Kaufman.

                  I thought he was a complete ****** and I loved him. I hope that Fridays comes out on DVD someday so I can upgrade my copy of his meltdown with Kramer. The Lawlor stuff is priceless.

                    Surprise people didn't get him.
                    He loved messing with people. That was his schtick and although many people don't like him, I thought he was funny. He was psychologically screwing with people and took it very far. Never knew when to quit.
                    My friend recorded all this stuff back in the day and one day I went over my friend's place and we had a Kauffman fest. Walked like someone messed with my head.
                    Very interesting to me.
                    Then the Kauffman movie came out and it was terrible. Did not justice to his schtick.

                      Oh and "Breakfast with Blassie" was brilliant.
                      Yes, it was scripted. So many people think it was real.

                        Just like Stern, too much "real wreckage" in his "fake act" to really be a fan.

                        I am intrigued tho---but heck, I'm intrigued with genocidal dictators
                        and murderous cult leaders too---so, you know

                        But, I'll add that if peeps like kw actually still think that Lawler wasn't in
                        on the "prank"...even in 2010, then Andy really has pulled a major fast one.

                          The ONLY thing I ever liked from him was his Mighty Mouse skit on SNL....I couldn't stand Latka Gravas or any of his other appearances/characters. Very annoying....but I suppose that's the way he wanted it....

                              Of course I knew of the Prank....it's Wrestling I found Kaufman corny and his stuff got old with me fast.....
