Tony Clifton singing I Will Survive

[motleyfan27]

If u look back at Andy doing Tony he sounds much different then when Jim Carey did Tony so this act is more of a tribute to Jim Carey's Tony not Andy's

[WytZox1]

The guys is trying to do a tribute to Andy Kaufman.

[bobkippuz]

its very funny all of you fuckwits get over yourselves and enjoy for wot it is!

[osborneddotcom]

this is more like an impression of jim carrey doing an impressing of tony.

[BobChaos23]

I knew Tony Clifton! And you sir, are NO Tony Clifton!

[corebare]

Can I have that 1:44 of my life back please?

[thegliphic]

fucking shite!! i wish these loser wouldn t bother. I wanna see the real Tony Cliffton and I have to sift through these talentless,copycat  hacks

[ironman9]

fucking garbage

[teodoreh]

He needs to work on his moves..

[willperformances]

I´M FROM BRAZIL. AND THIS IMITATION WAS AMAZING

[RosieODonnellizaCow]

all u mfers talking trash about this are fullavit..he is good

[REMK9]

Awful

[CountThrillhammer]

don't give up the day job, tony is meant to be a comedic creation.

[A2Z83]

This is shit. Dude in the video probably thinks Andy Kaufman is a character made up by Jim Carey.

[TheIMC8]

Probably not..

[CourtneyxCourtney95]

Ha well that's a lot better than me! Maybe if I was a guy, I'd have more voice..

Nice try, keep trying

[MommieDawn]

What sucks is this is an omage to Jim Carrey doing Andy Kaufman as Tony CLifton...not at all a tribute to Andy Kaufman. Sad...

[james89027]

idiot! of course its a black thing! Dont you know blacks are still oppressed? We owed Jamie fox that award, we owed it to him for the last 350 years. The blacks will be crying for the next 350 years. Thats why we work, We work so they can get welfare so they can eat.

[SuperPissflaps]

thats fukin great

[esappatryerson]

that's not andy

[madkrull]

Bravo! exellent!

awsome performance!

5stars

[viciousbill]

Andy is great . Jim Carrey did an awesome job in man in the moon . if jamie foxx got an oscar for ray for doing an impersonation . Jim Carrey should have won for his roll . is it a black thing ?

[madhi19]

Andy Live!!!

[Ariesbetch]

perfect impression! i LOVE Man on the Moon! U did it very well!!!!!!!!

[JiS01]

hahaa great performance....just like the real one! :p

[sirmolio]

Somebody smack me some shit, up the ass

[newvintage69]

abba didn't sing this song

it was sung by Gloria Gaynor

[tygersflowerz]

putrified. :-)

[Ecksntrick8]

They should have done the song and everything the way it was done actually.

[istya]

That has to be the worst Tony Clifton I've ever seen. Tony's not about the voice, he's about the attitude. I can't imagine an audience laughing and clapping without Tony yelling at them for it.

[Ecksntrick8]

Ok then.

[InHumanFormR]

exactly!

[SgtTravisBickle]

He seems to be doing Jim Carrey's version, not Andy's or Zmuda's. It's like an imitation of a bad imitation. I thought Jim screwed the whole thing up.

[dangerously]

Doing a bad imitation of a bad imitation is pretty Kaufmanesque.

[growlywang]

I think its an awful Tony Clifton! Nothing like Andy Kaufman or Bob Zmuda. Funny thing: I ran into Tony Clifton at a local pizza shop the night before he performed here (Pittsburgh) this summer. I had him sign my pizza box. He obliged: "Alex-- Go fuck yourself, Tony Clifton"

[CourtneyxCourtney95]

@growlywang He said survive.. NOT surveev. Shame, eh?

[onebadhockeymom08]

@growlywang---LOL, very Tony Clifton, this video sucks!!

[jimcarrey]

jim carrey is genious actor ,funniest man alive!! LIVE LEGEND!

Jim Carry Rocks.

[Pallindrom27]

I agree with your sentiment. THIS however is NOT Jim Carrey. It's Erik Mackenroth.

[dustin38]

this is andy kaufman the real tony cliffon

[dsmcclellan]

I agree with the post below. An insult to a REAL comedian. Carrey nailed it in the movie. But, he lived in character the whole time.

[buenapapa]

You are an insult to the memory of Andy and the man himself Mr. Tony Clifton.

You just don't get it.

[Pallindrom27]

UPDATE! It seems that the "mystery" of Tony Cliftons identity in this clip has been solved, and it appears to be none other than the poster himself, comedian Erik Makenroth who you can see without the Tony make up in other videos that hes posted available to see on the right. Good Jim Carrey/Tony Clifton imitation though!

[Akadra]

Ehm... It is an Andy Kaufman/Jim Carrey/Tony Clifton imitation. You tought Jim Carrey created Tony Clifton?

[Pallindrom27]

No. As a big Tony Clifton fan, as well as a big Andy Kaufman fan,I KNOW that Jim Carrey did not create the character of Tony Clifton. But each portrayal of Tony has variations, and I was merely pointing out that THIS PARTICULAR PERFORMANCE is a good imitation of Jim Carreys Tony Clifton from "Man on the Moon".

[Akadra]

Oh, i understand.

[Pallindrom27]

No that's definitely NOT Bob Zmuda. I've seen more than one (UNauthorized?)"Tony Clifton" just here on youtube and although Zmuda is by far the one you see most often, there's quite a variety it would seem. I'm about 60/40 against this being Jim Carrey at this point, but I could believe either way.

[cyclonecasey]

it IS jim... definately!

[studentads]

It's Jim.

[slimjim1389]

not jim carry. without a doubt.

[StephanieLives]

Yes it is... that's from the one time that the live Tony Clifton *was* Jim.

[slimjim1389]

lol I've seen "Man on the Moon.

and Jim did a fantastic Job as Tony

BUT that is NOT Jim Carry...

Just stop the clip at 1:11.

[Pallindrom27]

Jim COULD have used some prosthetic devices and a little make up. It's obvious that he's padded around the midsection although I do agree that 1:11 doesn't look like Jim. But if it's NOT Jim, then he's doing a terrific imitation of Jim Carrey doing Andy Kaufman doing Tony Clifton!

[slimjim1389]

haha yea, i mean the dance moves are a little off.

Jim has me dying when he starts dancing.

And i mean, hes just giving himself a nasally voice. In the movie, the actor playing bob zmuda did a pretty good job too.

plus Jim is waayyy more animated

[Pallindrom27]

True I myself noticed that THIS Tony was not as animated as Jims(OR Jim by himself)but I put it down to a possible off night(We ALL have them)and the possibility that he was just doing it as a lark or as a favor to the club owner or something like that(Does anyone know WHERE that club is?). Of course, it COULD just be some guy obsessed with Jim Carrey too.

[NyeTunes]

This has gotta be some unauthorized ripoff then... I mean, I think the only person allowed to do Tony nowadays is Zmuda, and that's *definitely* not him.

[cyclonecasey]

it is SO jim carrey!

[Pallindrom27]

By visiting your channel I saw that you're a big Jim Carrey fan. If you visit mine you'll see that I am too. This guy was good enough to fool me, and I'm not easy. A couple of things to help convince a fellow fan. 1)Look at 1:13 2)Click on More from Mackenroth(The vids poster and PROBABLY the same guy playing Tony here)and go to the "Tony Clifton" vid. In it the famous "Cowbell" from SNL is mined for laughs. Would Jim Carrey need to do that? This guy is good, but there's only ONE Jim Carrey.

[slimjim1389]

Deff not Jim Carrey

[cyclonecasey]

there is no way on earth that this isn't Jim Carrey! i know Jim Carrey and that is him!

[slimjim1389]

nooo way man, take a look at the close up on his mouth, that jaw and mouth is completely different.

There is no possible way that is Jim,

He does it soooo much better anyway.

[slimjim1389]

Erik Makenroth

[Pallindrom27]

It IS Erik Mackenroth. He fooled me into thinking that he was Jim Carrey too but it's Erik Mackenroth. Just look into More from Mackenroth(The vids poster) and you'll see him WITHOUT the make-up as well as another Tony bit or two you might not have seen him do, one of which CONVINCED me that it WASNT Jim even BEFORE I noticed that the poster is advertising more vids of the same comedian.

[slimjim1389]

lol preachin to the quire bro

[Pallindrom27]

I'm just trying to reach the ones who STILL think that it's Jim Carrey. I hate for people to be deceived,ESPECIALLY when the evidence is right in front of their eyes.

[slimjim1389]

ight, you just replied to my comment.

[Pallindrom27]

Yeah. I replied to your comment. But I'm not trying to reach,I.E. convince you of anything IF you accept that this guy isn't Jim Carrey. Like I said, the ones that I'm trying to help see the light are the fans who're confused.

[Pallindrom27]

My vote is that IS Jim Carrey as Tony and I've watched it twice now to make sure. For anyone wondering WHY Carrey would do it,he's fairly obsessive.(His obsession with seeing the number 23 everywhere led to the movie) Kaufman was an idol and he came to the set of "Man on the Moon" once dressed as Tony Clifton and accompanied by a motercycle gang.

[phallystorm]

Yes, I think it is Jim, look at the clarity of the image, and he has the Jim Carrey "chiseled Chin"

[jessereid99]

you are also an idiot

[Pallindrom27]

Who are you talking to?

[jessereid99]

you are an idiot.

[klwewf]

This is NOT Jim Carey

[Toptaximan]

This is really weak compared to Zmudas Clifton. This isn't one of Jim Carrey's better performances.

[jefarr85]

He might have the voice a little like tony clifton,but he doesnt have the presence...Andy kaufman will remain the king 4 ever!

[obsidiansands1]

Actually if I didn't know better I'd say that was Jim Carrey having a lark. Facial profile matches.

[NyeTunes]

That is Jim Carrey.

[ducc764]

lame, do your own thing dude. this isn't exactly noble of you.

[Blookbugbeeker]

there are clips of Kaufman and his buddies doing this act all over youtube, pretty funny.

But this is shit.

who is this guy, some fratboy?

[penkpixiedust]

Andy Kaufman is tony clifton. They are the same person.

[kdgfg]

this is what made Hunter S. Thompson fuck up while in Vegas

[doctorspankluv]

Fictional character?! Do u naught c him here in this clip?

[fjccommish]

What talent!

[BooBooLane]

Absolute talent; both Andy and Zmuda made doing Tony look easy. If anyone thinks it's easy, try to do it then.

You shan't succeed.

[deneco4]

I was on stage at martinni blues :-)

[Luchastyle]

yeah. he does a good jim carrey clifton. and while carrey's is funny. it's not the real clifton. so...this isn't clifton. i wonder if zmuda can still do the clifton.

[neneneedge]

He Does.

[chaseblogger]

I have to say this is hack. I'm sorry. You are doing an impersonation of Jim Carry doing his interpretation of Andy and Bob's Tony Clifton. I agree with bvncbnmcbwhatever. Sorry your name is way too long.

[bvncbnmcbncbn]

Maybe Tony Clifton is a fictional character createdand performed by Andy Kaufman, he's brother Michael and Bob Zmuda, but when he died Bob Zmuda was the remaining Tony so if that Tony wasn't Bob Zmuda or at least Andy's brother he wasn't the real one

[mafiagiovanni]

what did he say at the end?

"Heres my frickin morman apple marteni"?

any one know what he said?

[DrLinguini]

I think he said

"He's my frickin' mormon nabertackle choir here. God bless ya"

Then again, it may be something else entirely.

[dragonofblood]

Pretty much the greatest lounge singer of all time.

[MythicFox]

The problem is that that guy isn't even trying to play Tony Clifton. He's trying to play Jim Carrey.

[hbpaint]

sounds more like billy crystal doing tony clifton...

[poeticlarry]

Is this that Tony Clifton wanna be Johnny Chicago.This isn't the real Tony

[antanttz]

tony clifton doesnt exist, hes a fictional character created by andy kaufman

[am624426]

ohhh wait...that's ur ass

[455Transam]

LOL!! There is no REAL Tony Clifton!! LOL!!

[kittca]

TONY KICKS ASS!!
