The Kaufman Lawler Feud: Chapter 4 - The Challenge

[pcolalongfellow]

Lawler helped really push this one over!!!!

[1000legominifigs]

jerry lawler looks nice

[lemon8productions]

Didn't Andy do great wrestling promos? :D

[AndreDarkAngel]

the biggest troll of all time

[WatchVenusSpa]

The level of high concept comedy here is simply sublime.

[Newenlightenmentnow]

Now I see where the WWF/WWE got their start. I mean this is the perfect shit talking that goes on when you watch smackdown or raw. It turns out they were working together. Brilliant!

[lambert581]

I hear a rumor at the time of this Tony Danza offered to box Lawler I don't know if its true

[UnbridledAtNightfall]

"although it wouldn't happen in Los Angeles here."

I love this stuff.

[Srd1126]

its a summons not a deposition he would get. His lawyer would have the deposition from Kaufman. Kayfaybe at its best.

[kaitlinan]

this is just too good. andy and lawler are so terrific.

[geoguy91]

I would like to propose the theory that Kaufman wrote the beginning of Lawler's speech. It's really funny that he really did want to be a pro wrestler, and that speech may well contain the motivation behind their entire stunt.

[metal0737]

"I'm From Hollywood" BIG DEAL!!!!!

[danteras23]

what a great heel andy was. genius.

[48mwl]

One of the best angles in history !!!  Getting "over" with the crowd is what it's all about.

[BeirutWedding]

If it's a joke and it seems like it is, what's the punchline? Is it funny? Are Kaufman fans laughing? It IS strange. When he's wrestling the women, it's startling how riled up everyone gets.

[geoguy91]

@BeirutWedding Kaufman fans don't laugh, and Kaufman wasn't a comedian. He was the greatest actor the world will ever notice.

[BeirutWedding]

@geoguy91 Sooooooooo...you like him?

[geoguy91]

@BeirutWedding Oh, most definitely. he was funny at times, but he was a true-to-life thespian. I didn't mean to convey any negativity towards him. He never considered himself a comedian, and neither should anyone else.

[Stereolabdream]

@geoguy91 Kaufman fans don't laugh?

Hmmm......nonsense my friend....well meaning nonsense, but nonsense.

I'm very much a Kaufman fan, and I appreciate the art of all he did...part of that is laughter. How can anyone watch kaufman and Zmuda on the Kids show "Bananaz" for example, and not laugh?!

How can you watch his wrestling promo against the 300lb woman and not laugh????

Respect to you, but you're wrong.

I always tried my best to watch the "I'm From Hollywood" when Comedy Central aired it about 11 or 12 years ago. Great to see the extended clips online!

[mickyw33]

Damn those are long promos

[TheLiberalsSuck]

that is funny...pieces of paper that are blank at :24....there IS NO CONTRACT!

[geoguy91]

@TheLiberalsSuck OMG YOU CAUGHT HIM.

[Frequent2001]

blank sheets of paper in Jerry Lawler's hands

[geoguy91]

@Frequent2001 OMFG YOU FUCKING CAUGHT HIM.

[TheMattLytle]

Man all of this stuff was great. The first time I ever heard about all of this was watching some kind of documentary on it, and ever since then, I've been a huge fan of Andy Kaufman, and I love reliving this stuff.

[jaroncreed]

Will he ever eat again?

If somebody gives him a handout LMAOOO

[jerzeefranky3475]

i wonder what EVER became of "foxy"

[wing13245]

with all due respect to dusty rhodes, nobody could make the common man feel like he was one of them than jerry lawler.

[Srd1126]

I think that lawyer actually was Andy's lawyer and agent in real life

[brettallen]

yep, bob zmuda...he played tony clifton as well

[Srd1126]

I thought Andy was Tony Clifton?

[mistyflips]

His agent was George Shapiro. Bob was his best-friend and co-writer.

Andy, Bob, and Andy's brother would all play Tony Clifton.

[arobb2007]

Bob Zmuda was Tony Clifton not Andy Kaufman...watch Man on the Moon

[supercoolguy88]

dude i was searching the net prior to you posting all these and found piss all. i only found all your lawler kaufman vids just now and starting the 4th. thanks for these man! you are kickass!!

[salanh]

Bob Zmuda, man of many talents...Thanks for posting.

[lambert581]

When Andy & Tony Clifton were together Bob Zmuda played Clifton
