@imnemigre it was not. and it is not. it's like in one moment it's not funny, but in another it's so funny as in real life. funny enough those people really didn't want to give their food back. it was just on the edge of patience.actually bravo for the cook.
Andy Kaufman thought of himself as a performance artist not a comedian. And I guess no one here has read the Idiot but uh let's just say it wasn't about idiots.
and i think i remember reading somewhere that because this skit was improvised, and because the other character called Andy an idiot so many times, they decided to name this skit after the book after they filmed it.
Besides the fact that this character suffers from some brain illness this has nothing to do with Dostoyevsky's book.
Yeah, I know, Mishkin sometimes started talking faster and faster, and that can be related with this character in the way he doesn't let people eat while he's trying to help, resulting in disgrace.
I'm not saying it it's badly done or not funny; I'm saying it could as easily be a portrait of the idtiot guy from Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men", and so many other idiots.
This is Andy Kaufman, there´s nothing to do with literature, he was a comedian. The Dostoievsky title is just another prank. The real idiots take it seriously
"The real idiots", "a total drag". I get it. Every argument needs its own little insult to back it up. Multiply this in billions and you'll have mankind. And I never said it wasn't funny, but that's not the point anymore.
HAhahaahaha ARE YOU FINISHED??!?! This is really annoying in reallity right now... always when I'm not finished some one will come and ask xD JUST FREAKING WAIT TILL I LEAVE:..
Btw I think Borat is trying to copy a little of Andy. Also trying to do weird jokes in he borat movie with real people etc :p
The fact that some people didn't get the joke and actually hated him was a victory to him. He considered himself a magician above all else. If he could fool you into believing he was serious, he won.
I'm getting the feeling that if Neitzsche had lived for more philosophizing through the 70s and 80s, he would have absolutely loved Kaufman. The comedian embodies the same aura of misunderstanding that Nietzsche went through as a German Romantic Philosopher.
And then the big "Doooh! I'm in trouble now!" look on his face when he spills the plate and sees his boss coming... so hilarious. Andy's still the best.

Wow was this terrible...oops!!! I forgot- this is a Kaufman "bit" - to say it is terrible is to be redundant. Kaufman sucked and I propose it was all the toxic energy from his "put on the audience" approach that diseased his body and killed him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You must not have been alive while he reigned. I'm sure Kaufman would be your favorite entertainer- the man who never respected nor appreciated his audience!! I am sure you think John Wayne Gacey is your favorite clown and GW Bush is your favorite president while your humanitarian award goes to Dick(less) Chaney!
No entertainer is a real entertainer without respecting the audience. Andy Kaufman was to comedy what Michael Jordan was to baseball
What did he quit what he was the best in the world at to try another profession, did he cheat in comedy when he was already one of the best ever??? Respect his audience!! Did he piss on them or something, feminist jokes and southern jokes were all to get to see him get piledriven and break his neck, which I bet you watched over and over, and I can see why so many people hated him back then too, people took him way too seriously.
This is performance art you culturally illiterate moron. He was challenging/insulting the stupidity of pop culture and the norms that people like you need to have to be entertained.

he was a good actor, he just didn't have the comedy gene, try as he might, his style just isn't comedy. however, i think the results are quite interesting to watch still. he should have chosen to act or be on broadway.

I guess Andy made this? It was definetely not comedy, however it was very interesting to watch. It started out with the ability to become comical but it left me on the opposite side of "funny". Interestingly enough, much of his work had the same feeling to me. I would say the he absolutely was brilliant. How many other actors/comedians can play with your emotions or mind like that? He had a gift. RIP Andy, wherever you may be.

I don't know why this is funny, it seems like an idea that some completely unfunny person would come up with. But I laughed forever. Must have been the voice.
You may think that the restaurant is in NY, but no. It is L.A. I remember that restaurant and that bus boy -- I used to go there with my parents in the late 1970's. This same incident happened EVERY time we were there, (almost every Friday or Saturday). I watched TAXI, but I didn't connect this bus boy with LATKA -- I was fooled! My parents must have been fooled also, because they also watched TAXI, but did not mention anything ever, even though we were repeatedly shocked by such contretemps.
it was intended to be shown as a clip from an "upcoming film" by andy on a letterman appearance. Letterman's producers decided it was too silly, and instead Andy showed a clip from The Big Chill.

This looks like that Hollywood deli where he bussed tables.
I've seen footage of him bussing and he did this to customers sometimes. The server would just set down their orders and before the customers could so much as lift their forks Andy would take their full plates of food away.
I'm working on uploading it. It's on his Midnight Special video. You might be able to find it somewhere yourself in the meantime. But I'll let you know when I get it loaded anyway.
It's not a laugh riot really, but it's fun to watch.
He was just showing his sensitive side, and he got kicked out. How sad. Those people were too food aggressive.Shame on them.Skinny people are never jolly.
gawd, that waiter is clueless! -- but did the manager really have to be that cruel? -- isn't he responsible in part for having put this incompetant person in a position that he isn't really suited for? -- this sure can be a harsh world sometimes
As you can tell, this wasn't edited. The entire take from when a director says action to when he says cut is not going to be as funny as a finished, edited piece. Still, Andy was amusing and a much better actor than anyone else in the scene.
I find it almost tragically sad.. I think Andy meant it to be that way.. people with a heart, touching.. Andy had a heart too so does the character played..
andy kaufman is the most inspiring person i have ever found in my life. he's the most different and ununderstandable person to ever reach television and his guts are not something to be noted over his creative flow. Fears didn't bother him in his live performance as he knew what he was doing he enjoyed. It's what you think that matters not anyone else. But he was so on the right lines with his material that anyone questioning it would not let themselves enjoy unless they knew why they were.
Andy was beautiful in that he made the unreal, real. He could take what was least likely and make it what he most often did. Just to mess with you. Life is not so bad. If you can have your *worst* fear mocked and taunted, eventually you'll have it in ya to tell the guy "hey man, back off". At first he will say "gee, sorry" and wait before he starts again. Be ready for next time and have a pie waiting for his face. He'll love ya for it.
I understand what your saying, there is all types of comedy.But see if your a comedian, your to make others laugh. He just was annoying to me. And he never made me laugh. EVER.
yup - Andy Kaufman was not a comedian. if you're annoyed by him, he's happy. the only way you can come close to understand what he was doing is to accept the notion that he's TRYING be annoying and unfunny.
THANK YOU!!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT WAS SO "GENIUS" about him. His "act" was stupid, unfunny and nothing short of pure idiocy. It's still a shame he passed so young.

andy kaufman is the most inspiring person i have ever found in my life. he's the most different and ununderstandable person to ever reach television and his guts are not something to be noted over his creative flow. Fears didn't bother him in his live performance as he knew what he was doing he enjoyed. It's what you think that matters not anyone else. But he was so on the right lines with his material that anyone questioning it would not let themselves enjoy unless they knew why they were.

This is funny, but worst impression of Myshkin ever. This really has nothing to do w/ Dostoevsky's novel at all :(

like Nabokov he wanted layering to his art the depper you went, the more lost you became and i'm sure this is what he wanted.

Andy rules. I'm still learning from his great ability to annoy people for his own personal amusement.

Andy was beautiful in that he made the unreal, real. He could take what was least likely and make it what he most often did. Just to mess with you. Life is not so bad. If you can have your *worst* fear mocked and taunted, eventually you'll have it in ya to tell the guy "hey man, back off". At first he will say "gee, sorry" and wait before he starts again. Be ready for next time and have a pie waiting for his face. He'll love ya for it.

I understand what your saying, there is all types of comedy.But see if your a comedian, your to make others laugh. He just was annoying to me. And he never made me laugh. EVER.

yup - Andy Kaufman was not a comedian. if you're annoyed by him, he's happy. the only way you can come close to understand what he was doing is to accept the notion that he's TRYING be annoying and unfunny.

THANK YOU!!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT WAS SO "GENIUS" about him. His "act" was stupid, unfunny and nothing short of pure idiocy. It's still a shame he passed so young.
