Andy Kaufman on Dating Game, Santa Claus question

[DntTlkAbtFightClub]

I love this guy

[71crm]

Lol I'd totally go out on a date with this guy!!!!

[Rushlimpballs]

Andy Kaufman= The Original Troll

[TheTubePortal]

Andy Kaufman wasn't a comedian, and he'd be the first to say so. He was a performance artist, and that is essentially a way to fuck with people's minds while acting out in esoteric ways. Some performance artists do it for the fun, others because they like to play with people's heads, others because they like to learn how people tick, and others because they want to convey a message. They are highly underrated. Next time you see one just let go of your inhibitions and enjoy the experience.

[Rodel757]

He was Extremely funny...but in a way that some people dont understand or like.

He was a TV Troll...

Before the internet was invented ..

He Trolled TV and the Media with an unusual kind of comedy that sometimes went wrong....

and it was done on purpose.

[evade531]

he sucks, i could go in detail why but he did , get off ur high horse, he sucked

[LukeRossTheBoss]

@evade531 Lol, you need a reality check you self-entitled shithead. I need more people like you in the world like I need more facial expression shots in porn.

[evade531]

@LukeRossTheBoss ur haRD CORE he still sucks, since u mention porn, get on ur knees, u know u want to xxxx

[eliizme]

Horatio sent me...

[OriginalPinkbird]

This show was so stupid and staged...most of these people wanted to be actors or just get on tv...

[unbridledenthusiasm]

she's hot

[Deel2506]

Who thinks Borat is loosely based on Andy Kaufman? :)

[StanStickman]

@Deel2506 Probably, but Cohen couldn't have a CAREER without Kaufman.

[ADiDAS796]

she laughs like fuckin idiot

[mcschoep56]

I agree Paul!!

[graemeoliver84]

What a pretty girl. Wonder what she looks like now.

[Midas6489]

Did she pick him? I have to know!

[fadethetrade]

@Midas6489 No.I remember watching it as a rerun in 1985 at work and my co worker was trying to convince me this was andy kaufmann and I remember he wasn't picked.

[fadethetrade]

@Midas6489 She picked the neandertal looking number 1.

[fleshpipe]

@Midas6489 metacafe.com/watch/1341457/and­y_kaufman_on_the_dating_game

[sleepybrownbear]

Did anyone KNOW this was Andy Kaufman when they let him on the show?

[fadethetrade]

@sleepybrownbear No because it would have ruined his contracts all over the entertainment business. This oreous airhead couldnt understand the humor. If she knew who he was,she would have picked him.A one date would have been beter with kaufman then the other neandertal #1 who she picked. check out his imitation of elvis on the johnny carson show one year earlier then this dating episode.He was already a frigin star.

[scorpietta]

@sleepybrownbear I would think that some knew. Even the audience and his fellow "contestants". That was part of his "mystique". Very few in the business could truely appreciate him at the time.

[kimmo4444]

He's dead.

[ziwzihizwiz]

i like when everyone laughs you can see his inner smile trying very hard to not burst through the character

[volikoto]

the hot girl was tempting me.... and i dont see andi funny at all...

[fadethetrade]

@volikoto He was hilarious.It was his gig.This guy was a phenom.He's playing with her.That's not funny? He made it as a world famous comedian and on Taxi! How could you not think he's funny.This was classic.He fucked with everyone.You don't get it?

[FIGURESKEIGHTZ]

FIGURE SKEIGHTZ APPROVES!!!!!!!!8

[amt253]

Does anyone know HER name?

[Mikels023]

So, did she chose #3?

[PaultheReverend]

It's beautiful that the joke encourages her smugness/superior feelings over Andy's character, making her the butt of the joke. She represents 80+% of the population that just don't get it. Proud to be in the 20-%

[mcschoep56]

@PaultheReverend I agree, Paul. She is a dumb bitch. You used the Right word--"Superior".

[LisaDawnn]

@PaultheReverend Just don't get what?.....dealing with an un-funny person? Andy Kaufman was NOT funny. Anyone can do a character. Where's the talent? Certainly wasn't in his delivery. He (his character) ruined Taxi. I have/had nothing against Andy as a person but as an 'entertainer' he sucked.

[Be4TinGyoU]

@PaultheReverend If you were in that 20% you wouldn't feel the need to tell everyone your superior intelligence, you sound dumber than the blonde.

[ExclusiveLM]

For Christmas I want a crack pipe, Kim Kardashian's ass and a SCARF. thank you very much.

[gotch09]

The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game were 2 of the all time crappiest games on t.v. If a kid knows there bad-they stink.

[Ronin6575]

If only we could bring him back!  He was the funniest and most off-beat comedian ever!

[adjuster57]

My God! Andy is brilliant!!

[impauldk]

Pure genius

[LEXICON505]

genius

[keymankeys1960]

wow....LMAO pure Andy

[kirbygene]

"food"

[Flyboy243]

"Little boy take it away..."

she just melts me every time she says it

[eighteenspeedpete]

@guytitanic, No- the planet never really got Andy !

[el3dlu]

genius

[davida41200]

she looks like a real bitch.

[xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx]

Santa Claus? But you don't sound like Santa Claus.

[Tuneman1984]

Latka!

[oden4rs]

@fran9860 man.... cmon...

[HammerOvThor]

@fran9860 Are you serious or are you just trollin for teh lulz?

[Nikosvoider]

Greatest troll ever.

[jd426999]

Comic Genius.. We miss you Andy...

[tawmbout]

he made that bitch look so stupid.

[667mumble]

Brilliant, simply brilliant

[StefkeLB]

'Man on the Moon' meets 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind'...

[Bhodisatvas]

who is that chick? she is sexyness

[nellgwen48]

Who won the date?

[elc1960]

This had to have been a publicity stunt that was set up beforehand between Chuck Barris and Andy's manager Bob Zmuda. If it wasn't, he wouldn't have been allowed to do this; they would have taken him off the set and started the segment over again with another contestant in his place. Still, a hilarious bit.

[lisarayone]

I would have loved to have Andy sit on my lap. He was fine and funny.

[TheEgg185]

this is the only character where hes actually funny and good. the rest of the time this guy is shit.

[ritualfunk]

@TheEgg185

being shit was the point

[MrSinister718]

Food!

[ViceKobol]

Is it just me or does that look like Ozzy Osbourne's wife Sharon?

[amraKAMC]

hes poor ..apearntly not well lived

he seems so innocent

[Gibzmo]

Lmao

[atkm2891]

wow, doing a stupid voice with no clever jokes or anything remotely funny. Andy Kaufman was a HACK!

[jwfilmkid]

@atkm2891 It's not about clever jokes or intentionally trying to be funny. This is a social experiment. Andy Kaufman created a set of given circumstances, and he inhabited those given circumstance with his believable alter-personas.

[atkm2891]

@jwfilmkid no, that's what people who over-rate him say. Truth is, he was just a crazy, mediocre, idiot who tried to make people laugh by being awkward, adopting crappy "alter-personas". In other words, a HACK.

[busybeingbla]

@jwfilmkid Could you tell me more about this? I'm just really curious. Sure I could read wikipedia but I want to know from some person who gets it . Something subjective. Would you care to explain?

[667mumble]

Food, great answer

[laneatlileden]

he was really a pest playing the art of dumb to get away with it. Or did he?

[rathergrumpy]

WWWRRAAASSSTTLLIINNGGGGGG!!!!!­!!!!!

[MrVincaldo]

FOOD LOL

Andy where are you? Please cut the crap and tell us all that your death was just another prank...

I just finished watching "Man on the Moon". As i browse this real Andys' videos - im laughing. But also I am so.. so sad.

I bet youre having a great time up there Andy. Smile in peace.

[Mikels023]

@MrVincaldo

Did you know they are many easter eggs with real Andy videos on the Man on the Moon DVD? Go to the biography part and press the direction boutons of the remote control, they have at least one (sometimes two) in each pages of the text

[BLEST455]

damn every site i go on people are arguing.......... black-white, catholic-muslim, american-foreign, republican-democrat, immigration, global warming, etc. I come on this site and the whole page is a borat-andy kaufman debate........ I'm fucking sick of youtube bozos...... grows the fuck up !!!!! flame me if you want but you know i'm right..... BTW borat couldn't hold AK's NUTZ

[guytitanic]

Andy never found his planet.

[blastingcaps]

@guytitanic Yeah he did, a second after he stopped breathing.

[jaidingo]

@guytitanic

Yes he did. It was Earth, and the whole planet is his stage

[drewpaslay]

@guytitanic Andy was exactly where he wanted to be.

[stankler]

shes hot and i prefer asian chicks now but what a milf she would make.call me....contact me if youre watching we could make it for real

[BlaineFan25]

Kaufman was absolutely brilliant. To have Borat in the same sentence is an insult

[FungusMossGnosis]

@iwatchsomevideos

And the difference between us is I Know that I'm dumb. And why would anybody Want to "nail foreign guy" like Sacha Cohen. His is a 2-dimensional cartoon. Kaufman is flesh and blood genius (as you allow). So where's the argument? Who's really being dumb here? I say the host, but it's likely more than one.

[ePhilosopher9]

rhetorical question number three?

Christmas is over, it's almost Easter ffs

/watch?v=nomiRFkEd64

[ePhilosopher9]

Christmas is over, it's almost Easter ffs

/watch?v=nomiRFkEd64

[chazawits]

the only question i have is, did he win the date? anyone recall if he won the date. every thing else yous guys might come up with is lame.

[ePhilosopher9]

is this why herb albert isn't santa claus after all?

[DarkJojobobba]

Borat is piece of crap.

Kaufman is just the best.

[FungusMossGnosis]

@tryingoutmusic

So good of you to pick up on that. The typos were a giveaway, even if the language didn't get the point across - I was upset at all these simplistic comparisons to "Borat". I don't hate SB Cohen, but for goodness sake - it's like comparing Fred Armisen to Phil Hartman: meaningless.

I never expected to be voted-up though.

[tehbackmaskr]

how dare anyone compare this legend to that jew douche borat.

[yoeldg]

@tehbackmaskr

 5/10

[SinfulMessiah]

damn she was hot

[gunfiremessiah]

@Xcelld good call

[kaitlinan]

please don't compare andy to borat.

[1ngjoxsh]

@kaitlinan

Borat is a great character, Cohen is a worthy comparison

[gondule]

@kaitlinan I won't but I will compare him to Sacha since Sacha is Heavily inspired by Andy. Although nobody will ever reach the awesomeness of Andy.

[kaitlinan]

@gondule yes, thank you :)

[gondule]

@kaitlinan Your welcome :)

[Mysterycat74]

@kaitlinan Andy reminds me of Borat.

[robbantheshit]

@kaitlinan who is this borat??

[chubbylilloser85]

@kaitlinan lol its kinda like comparing my garden pond to the atlantic.

[leparditas]

@kaitlinan why?

[jaidingo]

@kaitlinan

You can see what is meant by it. How can you not compare both characters? They are both characters from two very brilliant permanence artists

[mterrz]

who's that girl? her name?

[jellydude7]

@mterrz Considering the date of when this was made it could be your grandmother

[mterrz]

@jellydude7 i dont care i like experienced women :}

[MrNividium]

Just the look of Andy's face is enough to get me to laugh, all the rest is cream.

[Tdogg447]

is he serious?

[Razersun]

@Tdogg447

he's a black fag playing a white straight guy

[robotlick]

@Tdogg447 Andy Kaufman was an entertainer.

"What's real? What's not? That's what I do in my act, test how other people deal with reality." - Andy Kaufman

[Tdogg447]

@robotlick Oh haha thats pretty funny then. Then why did alot of people not like this guy?

[robotlick]

@Tdogg447 Haha... as part of his gimmick, he began wrestling women, offering ridiculous challenges, making hilarious claims, and a lot of people saw it for what it was and thought it was funny; some people didn't think it was funny; and a minority thought it was the real deal and took offense. Check out a video called "Andy Kaufman wrestles 327 pound woman."

[nighthawk584]

Andy was pure genius.

[TobiasR84]

"food" PRICELESS!

[ericx23]

Andy can't be compared to Borat... they are in totally different levels. Andy Kaufman was much better than "Borat".

[ProudKansan08]

I would of picked Andy Kaufman.

[Liammm123]

This isn't funny, and neither was Kaufman.

[bomber1967]

@Liammm123 IT WAS IN THE DAY

[PGLoverX]

So sad to read comments by people who didn't understand him and strike out angrily.

[Razersun]

she a 70s hottie but I wouldn't date her

[71crm]

Lol "Uhhh....Food!"

[bugogorac]

This is only funny if you are an ego-maniacal prick. The thing he does is an act of an extremely stupid and socially inept person, so your ego can recognize something "lower", and be happy about it. It's an ego producing laugh. There is another small part in laughing as a recognition of truth, but it is very small, compared to the ego part...

[gonzomoya420]

@bugogorac very well said. this guy was an ego-maniacal rich jew prick. I'm so glad he's gone, thank goodness.

[jgraz42]

@gonzomoya420 you're an idiot......

[jgraz42]

@bugogorac let me guess, "Jackass" is funny to you?

[TheMicCheck]

@bugogorac Yes, because going on a Youtube video of a comedian you dislike simply so you can insult everyone who likes him has NOTHING to do with ego. At all.

[bugogorac]

@TheMicCheck I might be just observing what I consider the truth and commenting on it, just because I respect truth (as far as I can see it). Or I might be ego maniacal prick as well and insulting everyone just to feel better about myself.

Either way, that is completely irrelevant to the truthfulness of my statement. I don't think the entire youtube is interesting in reading a debate about the subtleties of my personal emotional life. So, stop being a very boring person.

[TheMicCheck]

@bugogorac It's very relevant, actually. If you are just an "ego maniacal prick", then you're just coming up for reasons to think your opinion is better than others. And that would mean you just would need any reason good enough for you to use as an excuse to insult people. And, if you don't want to talk about your personal emotions, then you have just as much power to end a debate as I do, so it shouldn't be a problem.

[spentarts2]

i dig so much of his stuff, it would have been nice to be like one of the 3 people he dropped character for..

[tedbovis1981]

FOOD HAHA

[outsiderofcal]

SHE IS HOT!

[grouggy]

@outsiderofcal She must be 70 today... Looool XD

[robertcox428]

@outsiderofcal Agreed. She is VERY hot.
