@lazylink It's called working a crowd, and if you think its stupid and you give a reaction to it, then it worked, Andy played the crowd and everyone who watched him. He wanted you to hate him and think hes stupid and wrong. You are doing just what he wants you to do.
I never said I hated him nor do I think he his stupid, he is an actor, and he is acting. poorly acting, but acting nonetheless. It would be foolish of me to judge a person based purely on how well he acts. his intention was to entertain the crowd, i was not entertained, in fact it was quite the opposite, ie this is stupid.
@lazylink : You're not very perceptive, are you? Kaufman was trying to provoke the crowd. See how you're provoked? How you think it's stupid? How do you think the crowd feels? The same... that is Kaufman's intention. To incite, to provoke...
Thank you so much for replying. for a whole year I have been deliberating over this issue, losing sleep, my job and my family. But thanks to your enlightening remarks I finally see the error of my ways and can move forward in my life
Thank you so much deepsouthwrestling1, may god send an angel to tuck you into bed.
@lazylink : Well, yes... ha ha. However, despite your attempt at comedy, your position was unenlightened, to say the least. Now, without my guidance and help, you possibly and probably would have held such embarrassing opinions forever, forced to be the fool whenever Kaufman's brilliant work came up in conversation. Yet I thought enough to set you straight. You are welcome, indeed!!!
@Srd1126 I am a big fan of Jerry Lawler, i have his book and its great to see this footage. its a pity that Kaufman died of cancer, RIP andy. Where did you find this footage?
Love the blood stained ring mat.

After Andy died they found uncashed checks from wrestling, meaning he did wrestling and his feud with Lawler for the love of wrestling. RIP Andy.

Lawler has got some nerve, joking about some other guy's body. Lawler's body always looked like shit and his wrestling gear always looked stupid too

Not only was Andy one of the best heels of his day, but this is also great comedy.
Andy is just as entertained by the audiences' reaction as the crowd is entertained by him.

I've watched all the way thru and finally figured it out. AK reminds me of Owen. His interview style and choice of words.
