Lloyd Kaufman on "The Morton Downey, Jr. Show"

[MordaciousFilms]

What kind of audience is that? One minute they're cheering on Troma movies and the next they're scoffing and shouting and booing at Lloyd? Please tell me this is staged, otherwise I feel really bad.

[rjlindey62]

I'm so disappointed his show isn't on anymore. Every night after I had a tough day, I'd get a ton of laughs from seeing him and his audience. To be a guest on one of his shows, prospective audience members had to show the guard a Kindergarten Diploma to ensure they met the educational requirement. Now my only source of humor is FAUX News.

[smoketunes]

fuck everybody against morton downey jr that guy was hilarious disrespectful and cool lol he had one of the best talk shows of all time

[CommanderThsh]

Dam no freedom of speech on "The Morton Downey, Jr. Show" 

[MeanEyedCats]

Morton Downey Jr. was a vile, unprofessional hack. What a disgrace.

[sauroid1]

Look up douchenozzle on wikipedia and there is a picture of Morton Downey Jr. This man was poisonous, he assassinated people with his words. You could feel his malice through the TV screen. But people found him entertaining, and this is the most disturbing thing about this loud mouth bigot.

[LMCMInterloper]

This guy was an American Original. Steve Wilkos is a goofy-looking chump wannabe.

[LMCMInterloper]

I love this guy. Gawd, I wish people like him were still on TV. Makes me wonder exactly how much TV has changed in 20 years ;-(

[LMCMInterloper]

How come this video has ads?

[LMCMInterloper]

Steve Wilkos is just like MDJ, only less insulting.

[Underdog3210]

Lloyd Kaufman fucking awesome

[morgan8757]

I would like if they would release episodes of the morton downey jr show on DVD

[PhillyLucky7]

It's funny Lloyd Kaufman out lived Morton Downey jr. lol

Morton smoked himself to death.

My cousin has seen Toxic Avenger. He said it sucked.

[HalfBornUnicornFetus]

Morton Downey-huge asshole

Ron Paul-Huge asskicker.

[RapsAlive]

lol

[Atomank68]

Thank God Morton Downey is loooong dead. He represented the public face of everything evil about The Elites who remain behind the scenes; pupeteers who who control assholes like Downey, O'Reilly, Howard "Soured Sperm" Stern,"Heil Hilter" Glen Beck, "Jeery" Springer", "Green Lantern-Jaw" Joe Scarbourough, and his make-believe-on-screen-whore-M­ika-Breshinski (God , can anyone comtemplate that this fucker had children), Seessions, Palin,et al. The true "Children of John Wilkes Boothes".

[Quex01]

@Atomank68 Add to this line Alex Jones, Glenn Beck for internet audience.

[Mondomeyer]

There was a scene like this in 'Terror Firmer.' It ended with Larry's (Llyod's) wife's head getting crushed by the psychotic talk-show mob.

[gspendlove]

Yeah, Mort, Troma's trash. Not nearly as entertaining or edifying as, say, "Predator 2" or "Tales from the Crypt."

[Skulldini]

@gspendlove Right, Mort had cameo apearances in those two flicks. I remember that.

[thunderstruck665]

People here seem to be forgetting that this was Mort's schtick. It wasn't a serious talk show.

[Skulldini]

" Folks,.. that really sucked!!!" ... Well fool, you DID mention that those clips were OUTTAKES and maybe THATS WHY they were outtakes?!! Anyway, I'll bet that War was no stupider than any of the big godzillion $ budgeted guns, car chase and explosions flicks that major Hollywood studios were pumping out and heaping on the moviegoing masses during the same era ( like Die Hard, Rambo, Lethal Weapon,.. et all ),.. and I'm willing to bet that ole Mort just loved THOSE flicks!

[Skulldini]

Loyd Kaufman never did nothing but make movies! Movies which some folks really like,.. and some other folks don't like ( I like a FEW of them myself ). He's in the entertainment business and in THAT business you just can't please'em all!

[todtubetod]

The video segment of the Troma material is not complete in this clip. I remember seeing this episode when it aired and it showed a lot more. It showed the 'psychotic twins' and a lot of other bloody stuff. It was very disturbing. I thought those guys were sickos. But it was all taken out of a larger context. The Troma films are all done with a sense of humor which didn't 'read' in the clip that Downey showed. It was very one-sided.

[danjf1]

Thanks for posting this. I remember this guy. Man, Downey was one crazy d00d :)

[Rodney17302]

Really? A bigger yell for Class of Nuke em High?

[emily00love]

this guy is my great great great...idk how many great's uncle :)

[leach442]

This was a great show . . I would stay up late when I was little and watch it. . . it came on around midnight. They should offer all episodes on a DVD collection. I loved it when he would blow smoke in the guest's face!

[YouWastesTube]

Around the end of the 80s this show was on every weeknight. It was so frequent that the familiarity led to creating a Morton Muppet character on "DC Folleys."

[YouWastesTube]

Yes, this is the WWE in earlier times. Exactly. Kaufman may not have preferred this method of promotion but it was the best way, maybe the only way at the time. Yeah, it's wrestling talk show.

People who never knew of Kaufman's work but liked pure, independent raw filmmaking would be turned on. Rat's assholes to the people who didn't, may the always stay on their own side of the world of crapulance and misery, as they do today.

[CazK88]

@YouWastesTube

How often would this show come on a week?

[longlivetheloud2]

What did he even have against Kaufman? Seriously.

[mungcray]

greatest talk show ever

[velmasnaps]

morton's Dead ....now that's justice !!

 long live the legendary lloyd kaufman

[angryniggah]

the whole thing's a ruse like ernest angeley or pro wrestling.

[angryniggah]

morton leans into kaufmann and says if you want to sit down make it louder @ 2:40

[thefriendsociety]

dude I thought this was from one of his movies! Its so fake

[cityhawk80]

Most of it was fake. The uncomfortability of Kauffman looks pretty real though. Could it be possible it was staged, but the 2 guests weren't in on it?

[destroysociety79]

hehe morton should have punched that dirty Kyke out. kaufman is an elitist Jew faggot

[WheeoftheDead]

Morton died a slow painful death and has been pretty much forgotten by the public, Kaufman is still making movies and has a huge cult following, plus movies like The Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke Em High will have followings after Lloyd croaks. Guess who wins at the end?

[Qopel]

@WheeoftheDead There are still idiots that think cancer sticks can't hurt you.

[Regset]

@WheeoftheDead iv heard of none of these people but apparently there going to make a movie about his morton downey guy..never heard of him til i saw a trailer..looks like its going to be a good movie

[KCArmstrongXIIV]

@WheeoftheDead not you LOL

[deimosghost]

Hideous...

[markspictures]

what a dick he dosen't even give lloyd a chance.

[KurtWinger]

Fuck Morton Downey Jr, Lloyd Kaufman was a genius and his movies were awesome. Cigarettes should be considered a blessing for killing somebody like Morton Downey Jr, hope hes having fun burning in hell.

[soicuw]

do you smoke?

[KurtWinger]

Nope and Im glad I dont waste money buying cigarettes. Morton is dead and Lloyd Kauffman is still making bank off of his movies.

[biggles12]

Woeful behavior.

[JohnathanEmmerson]

Thats fucking brutal. And the host, this Morton Downey Jr guy (who Ive never ever heard of) was a total asshole. And whether you like the films or not, obviously Troma has a fan base. They have incredibly loyal fans, so the least this asshole could have done was let them defend themselves.

[bigpopparamma]

You take the beard off of Lloyd Kaufman, he looks like a young Mel Brooks.

[helenrd61]

oh, surf nazis must die

[helenrd61]

what does the guy shout from the audience in the beginning, something about class of nuke em' high?

[3101758]

I think he said surf nazis must die, that is another 80's troma flick.

[JohnnySwitchblade]

Awe...poor Lloyd! How can you be so rude to your guest? And what the hell is wrong with the audience? First they say they love Troma films by cheering, then they're completely rude to the two Troma people...

This is just hard to watch. I hope this was staged. Lloyd really kept his composure though, made this Morton Downey Jr. guy look like an asshole. Give Mr. Kaufman some respect!

[coffeeintheface]

haha the other guy keeps going "we'll stay. we'll stay" to Mort after getting officially kicked off.

[eileengoth]

class of nuke em high was so cool i love that film :D

[imtheone06]

he literally had a huge mouth

[MakoSucks]

so this is what Terror Firmer was referring to... LOL

[TerrorTensionTheater]

Wasn't Lloyd attacked on Morton Downey Jr? If so, was that off camera?

[Ssrn53]

The 80's were great.

You didn't Downey to get in your face. Morton really had a foul mouth. It smelled like a mixture of Black coffee and cigarettes. You could bottle his breath and use it tear gas.

[ultramouse]

I think confirmation should go to both sides — it does look staged, there are Toxie masks and all kinds of crap in the audience. But Morton Downey was still a tool.

[vvipresents]

To bad there isn't a Morton Downey now adays, so many idiots out there that need to be belittled.

[kickliquid]

oh you mean like his moron predecessor Bill O'Reilly?

There's a difference between belittling subjective works of entertainment/art and concrete evidence of social issues to gain Neilsen Ratings and Real hard hitting political shows that delve into heavy social underpinnings that actually provide something positive in this world.

If you are gonna have a shouting match with someone, don't waste your time on some hollywood producer who makes trashy films, whats the point of that?

[ShogunEddie]

cool clip cause Morton Downey makes a loser out of him self, Lloyd shoulden´t have to take shit like that, he should have shanked him

[slabs81]

mort was such a prick, but he was great!!

[b5kalad]

True, the good old days.

[wz3d]

of course it's staged. almost half the crowd looks like Troma fans at the beginning and then by the end of the segment they're all turning on Lloyd. it was a skit.

[cholling]

Downey was HILARIOUS! Only show I've ever seen where the host smokes, mouths off to guests (and the audience), and throws people off the show! AWESOME! Can't do any of that today... someone might get OFFENDED!!! OMG!!!

[jinkasima]

I know I wish I was around in the eighties when stuff like this was on tv

[coffeeintheface]

First he dissed Ron Paul on the show, now Lloyd Kaufman. Downey is now officially a mortal enemy to me, lol.

[ironbird1]

omg what a douche

[thefilmbug]

I get the impression 90% of what Morton Downey did was staged. This is no exception. I am sure Kaufman knew all along what was happening. It was free publicity.

[b5kalad]

Morton Downey was an actor and knew how to control the audience.

[djetra]

Troma is the best thing to have come out of NYC. I love the accents in those films. haha.

[mankind2112]

Go Home you Liberal Pussys, AWESOME.

[Protoman84]

This show makes me laugh.

[cjs176]

That was really mean!

[Nicholai420]

Morton is such scum, I wouldn't even want to go on his shitty show.

[timewise]

I've met Lloyd and hung out with him a bit. Really nice guy.

[xXMiKeBXx]

OMFG. Morton Downey has got to be the biggest moron that they ever gave a TV show to. You got to love how he gives his guests such a chance to talk... What a punk ass bitch he was.

[mgproductions2007]

Morton Downey Jr. is a fucking assshole poor lloyd jst had to sit down and take it.

[prlad85]

Morton Downey Jr. is dead. He died in 2001.hE SPENt his last years on the radio mostly and I think on some TV shows as well

[kickliquid]

Morton Died of Lung Cancer, Now that's what I call poetic justice. While I would never want to see harm or death upon somebody, his tough guy posturing and cool conservative image that was upheld by that manly swagger, puffing away at cigarettes and calling people morons who told him the ills of smoking makes me feel little sympathy for the man.

Later when they removed a lung due to lung cancer he became an active crusader against smoking. While noble in his last remaining years, a douche here.

[applehead24]

Morton's an idiot... when the Fangoria people were on his show... he treated them like shit... he held up an issue of Fango with the Tales from the Crypt santa on the cover and called it trash... then some time later... he ended up starring in an episode of Tales from the Crypt... and even Predator 2... what an asshole...

[jlassh]

you people are retards, its an act

[Hoekell]

even if it is an act it is disgusting

[shaitanlavey]

That's funny... Troma has made substantial success in the independent film industry and is alive and well to this very day, yet I can't recall the last time I heard of Morton Downey Jr even working...

[imevilduckie]

That's probably because Downey is dead.

[shaitanlavey]

GOOD...No one deserves to be dead more than this loudmouthed *sshole...

[shaitanlavey]

Exactly where he belongs... in the ground eaten by worms...

[antimarxism]

Didn't you think to google Downey before making such a fool of yourself with such a moronic statement? Are you really that lazy and stupid?

[shaitanlavey]

Suck a hairy nut, f*gboy... Maybe no one thought to "google" Downey since we already knew if he wasn't dead he wasn't WORKING either... how about his failed singing career? Talk about horror movies... So next time, why don't YOU think before you speak... what a f*cking idiot...

[antimarxism]

"no one" and "we" are being used by you, why? Too embarrassed to admit that you are an idiot on your own merits.

Also, think about your failed logic. Since Downey ISN'T doing as well as Troma "to this very day", it DOESN'T matter that he has been DEAD, or had cancer since '96?

Read some books and smarten up, dumba*$!

[charlieofthedead]

why dont you look at all of the troma films that have enjoyed new life for all of the directors that have made them, but passed on years before they could truly see how many people enjoyed them...

[antimarxism]

BTW, Troma has been successful by sheer luck and determination with a crap product since the beginning. They are no more talented than the inventor of the "pet rock".

[shaitanlavey]

And Morton Downey was on TV cuz he was such a great host... Talk about sheer luck... he should've never even been allowed to collect Lloyd Kaufman's garbage, much less have his own show... Hope there is a hell, cuz Downey will be there rotting for eternity, maybe you'll get lucky enough to spend time strapped in a chair next to him, listening to his worthless assinine comments and smelling his rotten breath...

[antimarxism]

Only a moron like you would talk about how a dead person's career is not going as well as a live one's. Good job dipsh*t! Keep digging a deeper hole for your dumb lazy a*s!

[rfitzhen]

Fuck you conservative asswipe!

[tokinotabumblebee000]

Props, this is bullshit.

[Von1beck]

Fuck you ya liberal asswipe!

[robaralis]

fuck you im gonna get you

[athompson7]

@shaitanlavey You fool. He died in 2001!

[rfitzhen]

This is dreadful. Morton Downey, Jr should be banned from a TV show. He doesn't give his guests a chance to speak or have their say and he is simply and ignorant.

[rfitzhen]

Sorry I should have put simple

[shaitanlavey]

That was the idea... what are you... 14?

[sonicdeath10]

That was stupid.

[ToxicWaltz]

they barely even gave llyod a chance to speak.. it's so stupid all of this. usually when someone doesn't like something they ignore ity and pay it no attention, and don't fucking ciritize in on antional television.. fuck morton downey jounior fucking yuppie cocksucking fuck.

[ManEaterFromReading]

HAHAHA, Morton the fucking dickhead actualy, ironically, looks like the Toxic Avenger. If Lloyd Kafman reads this comment, I want him to know that there is not one person i know who doesnt like a single TROMA film. But seeing as I dont know many people, thats not saying much. Anyway, after I've finnished watching classic films, like clerks, shawshank redemption and taxi driver, I allways turn to a Troma Film. Who the fuck knows why

[donuts187]

"The Morton Downey, Jr Show: A Program By Idiots For Idiots."

With the exception of Lloyd, horrible human beings all around.

[joncrane37]

I loved the Morton Downey Jr. Show. Especially the one with Al Sharpton. He was a chain-smoker and a racists and his how show was like a giant human cockfight. His audiance was always like 30 or 40 people sitting on bleachers made of cardboard and balsa wood. This was such a kick ass show.

[TortureShow]

Everyone on That Show Except for Lloyd are a bunch of fags. SUCK MY PORKRIND DICK. Lloyd is god and he will send you all to hell pig fuckers.

[supermaniac666]

Michael Herz was there, too...

[IDIDWTC]

Jim Muro is a great man.

[CinemaBiohazard]

Not to excuse Downey in the slightest, but Kaufman himself is quite a promoter and was probably behind it as well so he could get more exposure for Troma and brand it as an alternative to Hollywood which is the position he still takes today. Nothing against Kaufman either. He's definitely one of the old school filmmakers, and knows how to promote his stuff.

[rickman125]

Toxic Avenger was the best film ever made. Way better then Gone with the Wind, or the Godfather.

[JoeandOlly]

Morton downey was retarded and was not much different than Wally George. Good thing they are both dead. Good Riddance. and he did not say "Make it longer, he said "Sit down, cause they get louder" If you notice, Lloyd figures it out just afterwards. he stands up and says, "Oh, I see." it is about as staged as Jerry Springer used to be.

[SiNN4R]

Don't mock Wally George he is a great patriot.

[JoeandOlly]

Wally was certainly more amusing than Morton, did you happen to find the Morton VS Wally video on here? it is awesome!

[diddymuck]

Morton Downey Jr was a forceful, inappropriate guy who pushed buttons re: civil liberties and justice. He died horribly from lung cancer but not before he saw the error of his ways. He spent his last months in a quest to hold big tobacco responsible for multiple deaths. That act makes what he did here sorta forgivible.

[mattsyn]

If I'm not mistaken, at 2:39 in the video when Llyod stands up and "confronts" Morton, Morton tells him to "sit down and make it longer." =)

[MoreBarn70]

Spot on! Good catch.

[Adom]

Actually I thought he said, "Sit down. They'll get louder."

[bobbytrenks]

ok so...troma fans were booing lloyd? Defnitely staged.

[supermaniac666]

Agreed.

[ctracy1]

I always enjoyed Mort but yeah..this clip's a little too cheesy. VERY set up (though Kaufmann's partner really does look like he hates being there AND Downey in particular.

[JoeFranks]

Of course THIS was staged. I can't believe idiots actually thought this stuff was real.

[ZombeastFX]

Morton Downey's a fucktard.

[masterd68]

Not fair, not fair at all. In fact, so unfair it has to be staged.
