@volikoto Ummm...You realize that Jim Carrey was trying to imitate his exact act, right? That's the joke....waiting awkwardly, expectantly for the only line he knows. Also, there's no need to be offensive.
this man was (and still is in the hearts of many) one of the most fascinating individuals to ever walk this earth. there are no words to explain how incredibly intelligent this man was. i love this video! thank you for the upload!
I never found it funny, and still don't, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. It's thought-provoking. I don't want to get all intellectual about comedy, but Kaufman sort of forces a person to consider what funny actually is, what entertainment actually is. I love this bit, but I'm not laughing. The wrestling stuff, on the other hand, is hilarious because of the reactions of those who don't get it.
there are jokers on the 'man on the moon' version that claim jim carrey did a better job of andy's skits than andy. i've just watched 5 or 6 of andy's originals and it is blatantly obvious andy is in a league of his own... and carrey in true-man style overacts it. i'm new to kaufman, but his depth of humour is lost on those that are amused by a funny face and quick gag.
Thanks so much for finding and uploading this!!! I am 62 yrs old......I LOVED it when I first saw it many years ago and it is still just as funny as ever!! Watching his character wait nervously for the only line he knows is comedic brilliance!!
Thanks greatly for taking the time to upload this... I too have been searching YT in observational pursuit of all things Andy Kaufman and was frustrated by all the bogus ones as well. :D
@idestroydrums thats ok. I cant explain why i like this vid, i dont know why, i just like it and thats all. In this vid you can see one of the best comedy performance ever, or u can see just a strange guy doing strange thing. in other words u can love or u can hate it
@oldshumi I do NOT know why it is so funny, either. And maybe the funniest things have absolutely NO reason to them. I simply know that it will remain forever one the funniest things I have ever seen. I have forgotten so many funny acts I've seen, but this is imprinted on my brain. I have not seen it in years, yet I could anticipate every move he made. So hysterically funny!!!!! Again, thanks!!
He is playing mighty mouse, so he only pops in when mighty mouse sings "here I come to save the day." He is utilizing the awkward silence of standing there doing nothing while the song plays as comedic effect.
you don't necessarily have to - either laugh at it or not but maybe, one day, you'll see something apparently unrelated and you'll instantly understand. That's the arts!

The original SNL cast's work didn't age well, (with a few noteworthy exceptions,) but Andy's stuff truly is timeless.
