[DiesIstGrammarNazi]

@orkavorn

HAH XD

[jpavlekovich]

Hardly one of the longest

[orkavorn]

Our chief weapons are...

[lgmdss]

I ment “human being” .

[lgmdss]

Extraordinario ser humano, Andy Kaufman.

Straordinario essere umano, Andy Kaufman.

Έκτακτη ανθρώπινο ον, Andy Kaufman.

It's nice to be a beautiful human been.

[carolnava18]

This is so freakin funny!!! the only life you need in life is "the friend".... and the food, the friends, the food and the clothes and house, so you need the friends, the food and clothes, the house with the pool for your friends when they come to visit.... God! LOL

[fundo6666]

Monty Python rip off

[snakegirl0223]

What episode was this?

[zcg3]

Sank you berry much...

[Scooter2Putt]

Can someone that knows what they're doing when recording off TV redo this next time they see it? You need to HEAR it to appreciate it! It was really funny....when I could hear it when I watched it back in the day. [Can someone say "volume control" for me?]

[hedonism13]

Is this before or after Monty Python's what have the roman's ever done for us?

[Longetty]

@hedonism13  after

[TheRitual24]

@hedonism13

After, monty python was the 60s

[livnehh1]

Begood20000 no taxi was incomparable Seinfeld was a yawner when compared. ratings are merely a reflection of America's mediocre humor

[kornverfield20]

wait a minute? so...Danny Devito actually met the real Andy Kaufman? so he worked with the real one and the one who played his roll? that must be weird even for Hollywood

[PlanitReality]

@kornverfield20 Yes, for those of us who grew up watching that show, that aspect of Man in the Moon was extremely distracting...especially when the movie went to the Taxi set. Very bizarre.

[JeepRuby101]

@kornverfield20 Same with the other actors. They all did the movie Man on the Moon.

Andy was the first true Alternative comedian. A true comic genius.

[CanItAlready]

It's been AAAGES since I last saw this bit. Which episode is this from?

[ericallencurtis123]

brilliant



[john7maheras]

these 19 people who dislike this video don't have food and clothes,a nice car,friends,pool they live in streets 'cause they don't have a house

[AceSkepTik]

I liked that joke better the first time I heard it...from Steve Martin in "The Jerk"

[horrorluver565]

wtf r u talking about... i said genius... get off the pipe dude

[BariAndolini]

Kaufmania!!!

[DjOdysseus]

fez is a cheap copy of kaufmann

[MrDevin1125]

unbelievable that kaufman didn't rehearse his lines.

[horrorluver565]

Andy Kaufman is a complete genius!!

[johanistick]

@horrorluver565

is an artist not a comedian

[livnehh1]

Taxi was by far the greatest Tv show of all times. Nothing comes close. Judd, Jim, latka, de palma, Elaine and Bobby the greatest crew ever assembled

[begood20000]

@livnehh1 It was a very good show but Seinfeld was way better. The ratings prove this

[follayart]

i don't understand the scene wtf is going on here

[MokaMartini]

i know why andy hated this: taxi sucks

[MissMopPop]

happy birthday! andy, you're my favourite comedian and you shall live forever in the heart of your fans!!! <3

[WindPilgrim]

I love the entire cast of Taxi, whether they liked each other or they hated each other. What a fabulous cast!

[darraghtank]

@WindPilgrim who hated who ?

[A1z1u1L]

hahahaha this fucker, ok i'm gonna go watch man on the moon now

[Marek4602]

Tony Danza is Hideous, he looks like a troglodyte

[TheIMC8]

Pussy talk? I disagree,

[1BrknHrtdRomeo]

kinda awesome Danny De Vito was in Man On The Moon and here he is in Taxi =D

brilliant move

[ant10279]

@1BrknHrtdRomeo You know what is more awesome, Danny De Vito was the one that wanted there to be a movie that was about the life and death of Andy Kaufman. I too love "MOTM". I wish Andy was still with us. If he is, "COME BACK TO US, ANDY!" If he really is dead, "RIP, Andy Kaufman!"

[titass420]

i would imagine a guy as weird as he was would get bored of doing anything for very long. he probably hated it after hed done it for so long. i would get bored too

[jwild611]

Marilu Henner was fucking hot back then...still kind of is now

[lesneyvshotwheels]

Does anyone know how Latka made his Brefnish?

[john7maheras]

andy was the best!

[mariarox93]

I love how he says car XD LOL

[mariarox93]

haha i just watched this episode earlier today from the dvd i got at the library XP

[PauloEifel]

It`s hardly bareable to watch.. Not funny at all by today`s standards.

[Bleabot]

@obese1pandas Andy Kaufman was not a comedian.

[PsychoReaper49]

@obese1pandas

And he's got nothing on the true greats.

[cannabisawesomis]

@PauloEifel thats all good. but what i want to know is, how did you get to this video if you have such an obvious lack of knowledge about what you just watched. Were you looking at clips of the modern day classic, "taxi" starring Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah, only to see this video in the sidebar? maybe perusing the latest Andy Samberg comedy gem, you thought you would venture away from your comfort zone, only to be let down. lazer-kitten cannons Vs. monologues will never be a fair fight.

[cannabisawesomis]

@cannabisawesomis i apologize, apparently the andy samberg skit is called laser cats, not laser kitten cannons. although kitten cannon is a fun game...

[shroompicker23]

You also need good quality toilet paper. When everything else in you life is falling to shit, well you can always console yourself that you got quality bog roll. (Can't remember who said this, but I live by it)

[nitramgnal]

@shroompicker23 Cohen the Barbarian said this.

[RooseveltSteinway]

Andy loved Taxi... he stayed on for ALL five seasons even after other cast members left, he did MORE episodes than he was obligated to do, and he appeared with the rest of the cast on Saturday Night Live after ABC cancelled the show... get real!

[SavikDan]

Latka for President!

[metal4massacre]

2:12 is that the guy from independence day i cant remember his name

[alvarozapatel]

@metal4massacre i think so! jeff goldblum's dad haha

[M0n3yMikeE]

@metal4massacre the actor that was also in Independence Day is Judd hirsch a very funny actor

[mongolenpup]

@metal4massacre are you fucking retarded? nobody's at 2:12

[metal4massacre]

@mongolenpup suck a dick ...obviously i made a typo..

[dontoadz]

i think that red head chick is hot.

[emplehod]

@dontoadz Yes, she truly was. Did you ever see the time she put her entire fist in her mouth? That was exciting.

[A2Z83]

of course its better than fez. fez is just a parody of these foreign characters.

[4skorand7]

And there you have it!

[GammaZ2009]

What does he say at 2:02 ? I don't understand the end of this video...

[Saltheigh]

@GammaZ2009 "you know, as long as you have the house with the pool, the car, and the beautiful woman, the friends will only get in the way"

[GammaZ2009]

@Saltheigh OK, Thanks!

[emoviebuff87]

this episode was on just last night!

[lasoogneypubes]

Well I don't know how accurate the movie about Andy was but according to the movie Andy hated Taxi and didn't care when it got canceled. Again I don't know how accurate the movie is.

[NearlyKnight]

My favourite)))

[mattentropy]

He was simply a genius!!!!

[rosejackforever]

i love him lol

[ronaraullo]

sounds more like Filipino accent :)

[MacoutesGabber]

That wasn't really THAT funny.

[DaFuckyouat]

@MacoutesGabber

I don't remember seeing slapstick in this clip's keyword section or title...

[MacoutesGabber]

@DaFuckyouat but the show was a sitcom or "situation comedy." HELLO

[StivoPoland]

Andy The Great

[Dew1317]

An the 1:58. Sorry lol

[steve13rock]

hahaha andy you rock haha!

[BigCarreyKauffmanFan]

That was amazing and hilarious and oddly cute!

Awwe I love you Andy for the things you hate the most XD

Rest In Peace very confused man

[bquietmusic]

I'm not sure when this episode was aired (Taxi was on from 1978 - 1983), but it sounds much like the "that's all I need" routine from "The Jerk" (1979), one certainly influenced the other . . . and both are hilarious!

[entertainmenttaxi]

Andy is the best, check out : juggling taxi

[pornpan96]

Andy　Kaufman

we love you man..

[SmoothCriminalAaron]

Is that why the Cab service in Vice CIty is called Kaufman Kabs?

[ZR1KingOfTheHillZR1]

@SmoothCriminalAaron lol yepp brings back memories

[NaxNax96]

@SmoothCriminalAaron Aw, you beat me to it xD

[McCaler]

@SmoothCriminalAaron Holy SHIT!! I've never thought about that!

[jordanmack007]

@SmoothCriminalAaron

thats what i was thinking

[snakegirl0223]

@SmoothCriminalAaron Yeah, apparently, that's what I've heard x

[FelipeRVD]

@SmoothCriminalAaron yes!

[adfg]

"forget I said anything I don't know what I'm talking about."

[zackhanscom]

he's hit and miss, really.

[monnezza1984]

Fantastic.

[llNoahTheHeroll]

hahah Freaking Hilarious dude

[entertainmenttaxi]

This is Dan the juggling Las Vegas Cab driver.

[entertainmenttaxi]

YouTube : juggling taxi, Dano taxi, Elvis cab Vegas.

[lelelalouca]

Latka was so right, I'm totally shocked.

[RoyFive]

Another scene I always loved was when he was working and singing some song in his native tongue and then he goes "everybody sing!!"

[FreeAvidD]

Is it on youtube? That would be awesome to see. This one above is the one I always think about when I think of Kaufman on Taxi.

\

[cr8zygirl290]

lmaooo that was funny

[myrnaturner]

From the Elaine's old friend episode.

[younghoss]

I remember now, it wasn't a detective, but was "the Spanish Inquisition"

[californialanguagela]

There's also this bit from "Life of Brian" _ watch?v=Qc7HmhrgTuQ

[younghoss]

Monty python did this yrs ago, with a detective that kept adding to his list of "the only thing you need"........

Don't remember the name of the sketch.

[goodflo911]

OHHH Are YOU Suggesting.. that comedians do jokes that sometimes overlap?

OOOOOOOOOOHHHH

You are so smart! I NEVER KNEW! Here:

/watch?v=0YE9Kthyaco

[MrSambaboy]

Which season is this? :)

[ALittleBitOfGreen]

the 3rd season.. and the epicode is called "Elaine's Old Friend"

[eightysworst]

bobthesmasher: if you point out that you got people than you destroy the joke in the first place. you make the joke, the people that don't get the joke ARE the joke, the people that get the joke laugh and you laugh. if you point out that it was a joke than that means it wasn't really a joke in the first place, but you say that it was a joke just to cover your ass and make you seem like you're witty and funny but to people who are actually witty and funny, they see that ur fake and you r the joke

[superdooperpooper564]

this foriegn guy is way better thn fez

[Yooperthing]

@superdooperpooper564 his name is Latka, not "this foriegn guy"

[superminh13]

@superdooperpooper564 his country sank

[imunchbutts]

@superdooperpooper564 Not even comparable. 

[matrix86]

It's interesting reading some of these comments. Just because someone doesn't agree with you, that doesn't make them stupid and it doesn't mean "they don't know true comedy." Those are 5 year old immature school children responses. Grow up people...everybody likes different stuff. And everybody is entitled to their own opinions.

Go ahead...prove my point by replying to me about how stupid I am for calling some of you out, lol.

[drumzealot]

matrix86 your mom.

Oh no i di-ehnt!

Um HHHHHmmmm. I think he just did.

Now its on. Bring it.

[matrix86]

...........wow. What are you? 5? lol. I guess this is my fault, really. I expected maturity in the youtube community. I always do, and I end up getting let down about 98% of the time. I guess I just expect too much from adults. It's kind of sad how immature the community is. There's no hope for humanity...we're all doomed.

Now prove my point by responding with some other 5 year old joke or calling me names. Prove to everyone here how immature you are. Make yourself look like an idiot, lol.

[tallihead1982]

latka was one of my favs on taxi, so sad he is gone. but he will never be forgotten. this monologue he did cracks me up.

[eliverio]

can you belive there is a man in the moon

?

[stonetheforbidden]

It's always nice to see a different kind of comedy. 

"Forget I said anything, I - I don't know what I am talking about"

brilliant.

[superstr5]

ok you got me,you can laugh.its always funny when 1 of your BETTERS makes a mistake,though your comment proved my point.your a 12 year old who gets melvins and swirlies at school,so you came here to fight and try to gain an ounce of pride,i guess i cant blame you for that.the day i meet you and you no doubt beg for my spare change,i'm even going to give it to you,because i pitty you,and by the way speaking of spelling,for is F.O.R not fro

[emoviebuff87]

it looks like andy is having a great time playing this character, however in real life he hated every minute of Taxi.

[palecalo]

He didn't hate working on Taxi. That's something that was made up by his hangers-on to boost his alternative credentials. He had his doubts about sitcoms but by most eyewitness accounts he enjoyed the process. He even agreed to appear in more episodes than he was originally contracted for.

[emoviebuff87]

really? thats a relief. when i heard that he didn't like it, it always bummed me out cause he was so funny on the show.

[palecalo]

He didn't like sitcoms in general, but he doesn't seem to have hated Taxi in particular. The director of the show, James Burrows, has had good things to say about working with him.

[cha5]

@palecalo Maybe so, although I had read at the IMDB that during the 1979 Golden Globe awards that Taxi co star Jeff Conaway decked Andy because of some insulting remarks he made about his Taxi co stars during the presentation.

[okolao]

no....he hated it.

[klwewf]

You never heard that from Andy.

[pretorious700]

Who the hell knows anything about Kaufman really? He blurred the lines between reality and satire so completely, it would be impossible to make an accurate assessment of anything he said or did.

[LVile666]

@palecalo wow i saw a story about Andy on Saturday nightlive i think it was... maybe somethin else im not sure but i really got interested in him when Man on The Moon came out... good movie... but watching the real Andy at work... wow... wish i could have grown up watchin these in person...

[gonzomoya420]

@emoviebuff87 oh sure the great artist hated every minute of being on TV and getting paid. you sir are a tool.

[kirecorp]

@gonzomoya420 Isn't this "You sir" thing..a little overused ?

[fartmandudebruz]

Andy was a genius, unfortunately that's not an easy gig. Peace to the great man who taught those who bothered to listen to always be themselves.

[Kylesesh]

Shut up andy kaufman was a genius... Your an idiot andy was loved by many including me and if anyone is reading this please reply saying what a twat this person is.

[Zero2562130]

Then you obviously have no idea what real comedy is, fuckwit.

[leon102]

If you think he is not funny, then it looks like he got ya'.

[animeMMA]

Actually, he didn't like this character for this show and never claimed him to be funny. Andy knew this Taxi character wasn't original.

[spratty59]

Yeh he hated taxi for it!

But he is a funny funny man!

[pw3uk]

"What did the Romans do for us?"

[LoonieBin]

Our chief weapon is fear. Fear and surprise. Our TWO chief weapons..."

[notdarkyet1997]

Borat

[superstr5]

first and for most,you are an idiot..andy was 64,000,000 times funnier then that ass sasha cohen and second he was around about 20 years prior!!!

[bobthesmasher]

yea a 1 dimensional routine based on an ethnic stereotype.

Genius...

[superstr5]

1 dimensional??? do u even know who the fuck andy is??? he had latka,elvis,the wrestling,his stand up,years of pranks,tony clifton!!! 1 dimensional my ass!!! and yes your right he was a genius!!

[bobthesmasher]

Yea he was the guy who based a career on an ethnic slur and being generally annoying.

Clearly you people have a very different definition of the word genius.

[Zero2562130]

You fail it.

[superstr5]

bobthesmashr,it wasnt an ethnic slur!! in order for it to be a slur it would have to be a (real) sterotype! but it wasn't,andy invented everything!!he invented,the country,the language,the accent,everything!

the was the kind of (genius) this great man was!!

he went so far as to actually have a class room on the set,that the others actors had to particpate in,to teach them the langauge!

and if you dont like him why the fuck did you look him up? just to start shit! pathetic,get a life loser!

[superstr5]

ok bobthesmasher,and again why did you him up? to start shit.now you insult me? suck a camels testicle? before you talk about anyones lack of brains,i'd quit with the grade school humor,your i.q. seems to be the one lacking now.i was going to insult you back,but since life has already done that to you, i'll take the high road and say quit sitting behind your moms computer and starting figts on youtube.i know you get picked on in 5th grade (swirlies)but please get your ego boost somehwere else.

[platymarmot]

haha the great thing about kaufman's comedy is that the joke's on people like you.

[bobthesmasher]

No no, I don't hate Kauffman, you just fell for my brilliant prank!

You have been witness to a 'happening!

[27thepusher]

I see your sarcasm. Fridays.

[foofarrell86]

genius

[klwewf]

The title says: Andy Kaufman Taxi. Now, you knew what you were selecting. Why did you come here. I know your life isn't so empty you had to visit just so you could write that

[Nox404]

he acted weird and made you uneasy so when he did something you automatically laughed.

[ashramos222]

You guys Andy Kaufman was not going to make jokes designed to make people automatically laugh. He controlled emotions is what he did. When you're confused when your angry or when you feel like a child as you watch him it's on purpose.

[thisfriendlyworld]

well said!!!

[thisfriendlyworld]

latka always puts smile on my face... a cute little foreigner <3

andygkaufmanworld.blogspotDOTc­om/

[emmtampa]

in my opinion, andy kaufmann had no ability to be funny...he was absolutely unfunny....he was pathetic....i have no idea why anyone found him humorous at all....

[BenLongthorne]

Simply wrong. Unless you're employing a Kaufmanesque technique there, in which case very clever.

[JaydeeVonJ]

There are some Dan cook videos on Youtube waiting to be viewed by you.

[pockmarkedbuttocks]

Dean Cooke is wicked awesome!

[1233452432]

The ability to be funny relies on the interpreter, as you just started your preposition stating that it's only your opinion then you should know this already. To answer your question, the reason people found him funny and you didn't is because you're a moron.

[JaydeeVonJ]

Awesome.
