  • One of the most awesome promos cut, ever.

  • He's soooo freaking mean. HAHAHA

  • Cutting edge on everything he did. A genius!

  • Anyone who makes an audience confused as to whether they should, laugh, cry, or become angry is a damn genius. I love him so much and I hope that he really did fake his death and is drinking margaritas in Tahiti :)

  • I totally get his humor

  • Well it is funny hearing goofball southerners with accents saying the south is going to rise again. I've actually seen a southerner in Raleigh say that. I tried so hard not to laugh at that ditsy hillbilly lol. Many southerners still don't know what soap is...

  • @JimmDonahue The South got owned in the Civil War. NUTS WALKED ON! lol

  • Hey- SQUALLOR rhymes with LAWLER....

  • That toilet paper, that was very helpful. Thank eee

  • Andy tried to help you people but you just don't get the use of soap.

  • the southerners back then didn't get it.

    joe rogan doesn't get it today.

  • @zackhanscom Andy tried to tell the in-bred hillbilly dumbfucks about soap and toilet paper, but their small brains just couldn't comprehend it!! Mue...HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!

  • Man, that really looks and sounds like Levon Helm (The Band) at 0:50

  • Greatest troll of all time.

  • #omg

  • Comment removed

  • just imagine what he could do whit internet in his time

  • The real Troll King

  • This is great, but I'm surprised that a hillbilly never tried to kill him!

  • the same exact people that fell for this back then and believed wrestling is real are the exact same people who watch televangelists and give them money

  • Kauffman's villain character was ahead of its time in terms of connecting to the audience and making them feel personally involved in the match.  every time you hear a wrestler today mention the name of the city they are performing in, it is a tribute to Kauffman.

  • What's all around his right eye?

  • What's all around the left side of his head around his eye and shit?

  • Ricky Gervais is doing something similar to Hollywood right now, and just like the hillbilly's of the 80's, they just don't get it... Hillbilly Hollywood, it has a nice ring to it. It just show's how far ahead of his time Kaufman was.

  • @mcgowanm095 Really? You're trying to draw parallels between Andy Kaufman & Ricky Gervais? Andy Kaufman knew how to get to people. All Gervais does is make dick-mouthed comments about one thing or another and plaster a smug grin on his face. Kaufman was a genius. Gervais is just your run of the mill jerk.

  • I'm from Memphis, and at 11 years old I saw the humor.

  • Grew up near Memphis and remember this well. Like most Southerners, I was insulted at the time but in retrospect see the genius in it. When I see this I laugh so hard you can see all five of my teeth.

  • Let me try to help any women from Memphus,if your being held captive down there by some hillbilly husband or boyfriend write me here and I'll try to get you out of that Stink Hole. This offer goes for the 1% of you that aren't Big Fat Slobs. There is NO WAY a attractive woman would stay there unless being forced against her will.Like that couple on the porch,she wasn't even allowed to speak,if she could have you would have heard a Big HELP!!! Oh also only soap users need apply.

  • Andy Kaufman: The Original Troll

  • God bless Andy Kaufman! This man is my hero! As for the 36 hillbillies who disliked this video, take your one axle home and getting running water so you can wash your filthy ass!

  • The guy a 2:48 defines irony

  • I could try to say all the stuff he did about soap, but I couldn't help but sound facetious while doing it. He can do it and sound deadly serious, and the comedy just goes up by about a million.

    Andy Kaufman: The Alpha Troll.

    His being dead just helps the whole Alpha Troll thing.

  • SEBON (SOAP) IN WELSH

  • haha 2:48

  • guy on the swing sitting at the porch "we use soap down here"!!! hahah! This is exactly why andy was doing what he was doing

  • why could people not see he was joking?

  • It's kind of funny how he was saying people from the south were stupid in other interviews and yet know body got the joke. Obviously people from the south are not dumb but these people sure were absolutely unable to recognize it was a wind up.

  • Every pro wrestler should be FORCED to watch Andy Kaufman; few can do a heel promo better.

  • @KingSnarf He is my hero! This man has a natural psychology that cannot be taught. Emulated certainly, but nothing can be like this legend. If anything else, he should be inducted into the Pro Wrestling and WWE Hall of Fame. Lawler should induct him in both hall of fame ceremonies. 

  • epic troll is epic

  • Everyone shut up....Now.

  • Andy Kaufman: The original Straight Edge Savior

  • Comment removed

  • 1:10 he's trying really hard not to laugh (the cameraman must be dying).

    Agreed, he was far ahead of his time. Jokers like Joaquin Phoenix wish they could pull off something like this...

  • @Chim510 Actually it's 1:09, and you can hear Zmuda laughing (he's the one with the camera), and that's why Andy almost laughed.

  • One of the best wrestling angles of all time !

  • The American South: YHBT

  • He could really work a crowd ! He could really WORK a region !!! Hilarious ! And nobody knew it was all a joke !

  • I love how people are using the word troll for everything..Back when my generation invented the internet we called it surfing..I am glad I found this treasure trove of comedic genius. All possible by surfing,nit the made up word called trolling.This implies when you use the internet never go somewhere you wouldnt. You might learn something or worse yet,you might see something you dont lik.....oh no......But if you " trolled" here good you saw some haha from andy and learned what trolling is.

  • I don't know what's more awe inspiring about this. Andy Kaufman's balls. Or the idiocy displayed by the people reacting to him.

  • I love the Andy Kaufman/Jerry Lawler fued. Andy is the reason why everyday people, like us, secretly hate celebrities from Hollywood LOL!

  • i dont think he is ahead of his time, i just think he was the only one with the balls to do this. some of these people take shit to seriously. but that one guy on the swing was funny ."we know what soap is"

  • what a troll

  • This is so hilarious...

  • The original troll.

  • this man was fucking brilliant

  • surprised he wasn't killed... haha.

  • LOL... IT's True--IT's True--Kaufman is the Truth--LOL.....

  • Cracks me up!

  • A god amongst men, and rightly deserving his title as patron saint of trolls.

  • lol he trol u

  • looks like he has herpes on his face

  • OMG i cant believe i didnt remember that ! hahahaha this dude is a legend :D

  • i love this guy legend thats all i have to say ha ha ha ha ha

  • Ha! Co za amerykański kretyn!

  • Andy Kaufman was amazing! I love Andy Kaufman!!

  • The original epic troll

  • Hahahahaha

  • nice face

  • Andy Kaufman was, and still is, the world's greatest troll.

  • I'm a f@@!ing hillbilly and i love it

  • um.... he is dead.

  • Does the guy at 2:48 have down syndrome?

  • @Eenahmoon jeez dont you know anything? Hr does have to be an asshole, he's a wrestler! He's gonna sue you, and your children and your childrens children if you hurt him while wrastlin'

  • well thing is hes pretty much right

  • Could someone PLEASE tell me where I can find that punk on the porch? He couldn't kick ANYONES ass. Andy tried to help you Brainless Pigs and you just wouldn't listen. It must STINK like Hell down there!!!

  • I can picture the guy on the porch watching TV and saying, "soap."  "SOAP!" "SOAP!"

  • Thanks,very funny,were both on the same page when it comes to those Hicks,and the funniest part is they really thought Andy was the idiot.

  • @PaulSpecter  hicks? wow, another asshole

  • @Eenahmoon southerners are hicks. Thats what the name means. hicks = southerners. No asshole, just stereotypes.

  • He have the biggest balls of steel of this damn earth!

  • I don't believe Andy ever really believed half of what he said. This is obviously language used to PROVOKE......and Andy was a master at getting "rises" out of unsuspecting people! Deep down, he had to have loved Jerry Lawler and all of the good people in Memphis that helped him play out this wonderful gag....

  • er, just so you know that the entire andy kaufman/jerry lawler was completely fabricated. in real life they were great friends

  • Kaufman was into professional wrestling. He wanted to play the bad guy. The heel. That's the reason he tried t offend people (wrestle and insult women, insult people from the south, etc.). He was quite a hilarious villain. It's amazing that people took this guy seriously.

  • THAT is why it was so funny. They did take'em serious.

  • bob mizrahi is best imatate..ing him

  • I fucking LOVE 0:44-0:46... his face, when he says "squalor." Such a fucking blindingly brilliant bastard he was!

  • Haha! he is SO right!

  • only a Jew can be so dissrespectfull!

  • I always wondered why he never took up wrestling as a full time gig. He definately would of made a great heel manager. RIP Andy

  • What are the hardest 4 yrs in a person from Memphis life? 6th grade

  • He was so right, those IDIOTS are as STUPID as a rock!!! And those guys making comments show just how STUPID they are,wish I could get a hold of that FOOL on the porch.

  • if only he were alive to see Sarah Palin

  • Thanks,I do too...

  • whoa! andy kaufmann lives!

  • the young and the restless is off the hook

  • He was way ahead of his time. He is desperately needed now!!

  • YOU PEOPLE! Your hands are so greasy, and slimey!

  • This gets funnier every time I see it. A wind-up merchant at the top of his game.

  • This is the same kinda ruse Joaquin Phoenix is currently putting on. (I think) Great publicity.

  • LOL, I get it, r4nge. Good parallel you draw. Wrestling for Andy Kaufman, Rappin' for Joaquin. Career killer???? Hard to call. J. Phoenix is already way bigger a star than Kaufman. Is he bored, looking for attention, or does he just want to play with embarrassing himself? What do you think?

  • Actually, at this point Andy Kaufman is a much bigger star (in every way) than J. Phoenix ever was / will - even almost a quarter of a century after his death. One of the reasons he (Phoenix) reached his popularity is because he is doing things directly related ("behavior" wise) to things Andy Kaufman already did. Did you write this silly comment of yours for attention, or are you playing w/ embarrassing yourself? What do you "think"?

  • klwewf, maybe you don't like Pheonix, but look at his age and all of the blockbuster films that he has already made. What was Kaufman's big Hollywood film...? Oh yeah, "HeartBeeps." I'm a huge Kaufman fan, but I'm not biased because I prefer Kaufman to Phoenix. And yeah, we'll see if Phoenix still has his allure long after his death, like Kaufman has. No need to make it personal.

  • You're talking society (which I don't give two shits about, quite frankly). I'm talking who's a better performer & artist, overall. True, Andy was interested in doing movies a bit (& sadly passed away before he could make a "motion picture comeback"). But, his love, his art, was well done & still well received to this day. And, whether or not this Phoenix character has allure after death - no matter. To myself & true Kaufman supporters, Kaufman already has much more allure & appeal.

  • .....and, has already outlived Phoenix. I made a mistake bringing this up. You're interested in debate & coming back w/ a point. I'm not wanting that - at all. Kaufman & Pheonix are two different beings anyway. And, not that I dislike Phoenix, I just don't care about him one way or the other. The only reason I even know who he is is because of the "Kaufman rip off" he did on Letterman. And, I'm not biased. I'm simply drawn to Andy's work. You can tally box office numbers. I'll study Kaufman.

  • He was Borat before Borat.

  • BINGO

  • not really

  • not comedy

    something else

  • oh andy... are you lying in your coffin or are you lying in your coughing? ;)

  • The godfather of WUMs.

  • This is the funniest shit ever!

  • is this jim carrey?

  • noob

  • how polite

  • Why are you asking that?

  • 2:48

  • He's just an ess-hole.

  • Andy Kaufman should go to compton and say this

  • 666 ratings

  • How could you take this seriously?

  • Have you met Americans recently? They're fucking retarded and DO take stuff like this seriously.

  • That annoys me, when people say Americans are stupid. I'm American, and I also know a great amount of people who are not stupid (American as well). Are you telling me people outside of the US are all intelligent?

  • Statically the ratio of intellectuals per population proves it that way.

  • Please post the link of these "statistics". Otherwise I call bullshit

  • Comment removed

  • No I don't.

  • genius!!!

  • Haha good shit.

  • it IS sold. all you gotta do is buy it and use it

  • Genius plain and simple

  • HAHA this is fantastic!

  • P.S.--I'm from the South, and I can attest to the fact that a lot of what he says is accurate. If it offends you, it's only because it's true. The truth hurts. If you don't like it, change it.

  • Wow. To the douchetard a couple pages back trying to turn this into a "race thing"--fuck off. It's not, and it never was.

    It's not "a Jew" insulting "white people", it's a Northerner insulting Southerners OF ALL COLORS. See the Black man at 3:03? And all the different races in the audience at Andy's Memphis matches?

    It's not about race, it's about CULTURE. He's making fun of a culture, a way of life, when in reality he liked and respected Southerners very much.

  • Cruel but brilliant. Incidently 2.04 is rather cute.

  • its always funny making fun of the truth they should have shown this in other states

  • 0:54 product placement?

  • LOL the genius

  • "hair looks terrible when it grow's out of a woman's armpit"

    HAHAHAHAH!!

  • hair looks terrible when it grows on a woman's leg.

    lolz.

  • Some very hurt egos here... let it go, people. You're pissing and moaning over a satire that was made several decades ago by a man who is long dead.

  • lmao

  • Oh many, Andy must be smiling that 30 years later this clip is still making people act and talk like idiots.

    Reading through all of these comments is almost as funny as the bad guy CHARACTER that Andy is playing.

  • For all of you who get ticked off watcing this clip...please, please people..get real, his whole deal is satire..look at him, he is dirty, himself, his whole deal is to get a rise out of people...a reaction, don't fall for it..That is his routine..He did get injured, just not as badly as portrayed...go to wikapedia and read about him...guys

  • I don't know why, but that dog at 0:29 dragging that blanket cracks me up every single time!

  • Andy Kaufmann didn't get injured at all. It was all a put-on. He and Jerry Lawlor planned the whole thing in advance in order to create a wrestling sensation and a series of "grudge" matches. This is done in wrestling all the time. It's called "a work". They set up a phony feud...in this case between Kaufman and Lawlor. They pick one guy to be the "bad guy" and get people angry. That was Kaufman. They pick one to be the "good guy". That was "Lawlor" It's not real.

  • I wish I was from Hollywood.

  • Let it go Cletus...

  • Okay, to break up this inane flame war, it looks like he got injured pretty badly some time before making this clip.

  • Pot, meet kettle. You could have followed your own advice a long time ago, but, alas.

    Perhaps I am narcissistic (the name describing the mental disorder needn't be capitalized, FYI), but no more than you are, my friend. But now, I do have to be getting to more productive things.

    Just remember, I never once personally insulted you unless you asked for it ;3

    Enjoy your meth in your trailer! ...Okay, so maybe you didn't ask for it that time.

  • You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Admittedly unoriginal, but it just popped out. My apologies ^_^

  • FTW!!! PRINCESS BRIDE REFERENCE!!!!

  • No I know it is, because you keep replying, feverishly pounding away at your keyboard, scrambling to inform me of how stupid I am.

    And I can't punch my mother, you see, because I was birthed asexually, for I am but a single-celled organism which arose from the steaming puddle of primordial ooze found only in Darkest Zimbabwe.

    One of the little African children taught me to type with one of those laptops people are donating to them. You know. Instead of food.

  • NO U

  • lol The "fucklips" example was, well, an EXAMPLE, of some of the abusive LANGUAGE, used in your DIATRIBE. See, there were other abusive words in your posts, which, combined, formed - ta-da! - a diatribe!

    But thanks for playing! But no, I don't really consider myself funny. I'm just getting an amazing kick out of driving you absolutely bonkers. :3

  • You are a stupid redneck hick. Your opinion is invalid.

  • Main Entry:

    diatribe

    Function: noun

    1archaic : a prolonged discourse

    2: a bitter and abusive speech or writing

    3: ironic or satirical criticism

    That's according to Merriam-Webster. Seems I win again. Unless I'm mistaken and you are actually trying to be complimentary by gracing me with such baffling compound words as "fucklips". :)

    Keep trying, though. Really, you're positively hilarious.

    P.S. If you say you were being satirical I will pee myself laughing.

  • "whom has more command". lawl

    Learn ye sum grammar and we'll talk then about who's smarter ;3

    And no, I don't think I fail, considering I only have to spout half-assed - non-insults, really - to send you off on a tl;dr diatribe. No, no I think I'm getting the result I'm after :D

  • Andy was just trying to help you out...you obviously suffer from some of the problems Andy is describing in this video because you got your panties all twisted up...accept the advice of a big Hollywood star!! He should charge you money for this advice!

    Andy was from Hollywood...he had the brains...

  • Hehehe It's cute when obvious white supremacists get owned on teh intarwebs.

    Remember kids, YouTube and Jewish comedians are srs bsns. Fistofwhitewarlords says so.

  • genius

  • ...and I repeat "don't know trolling when they see it".

    I also didn't know that "white southerner" was a race. Thanks for enlightening me, stupid redneck ^_^

  • dirty little jew bitch needs to have his filthy head cut off

  • Simpleton.

  • dude - he's playing a role...its a character...he's the "Heel" in the wrestling world...kinda like the "Iron Sheik" or "Sgt Slaughter"...try to relax a little bit..

  • Don't waste your breath trying to explain. His name is "Fistofwhitewarlords", after all. *rollseyes*

  • heh..

  • oh, andy and his bad outrageous self. nice Jewish boy, and he found a way to be a "bad guy wrestler."

  • It's cute how they try to refute his claims and how they don't know trolling when they see it. Oh Southerners <3

  • Aww.... TAA's inspiration, amazing :)

  • 1st Utuber
