[1lavorde]

Andy u still the best RIP

[elektrobank55]

The best

[mukkohaha]

he looks like Jim Carrey, no wonder Jim carrey played man on the moon

[Ziru322]

@mukkohaha Think you mean Jim Carrey looks like him :)

[tsb049]

Elvis was still alive during this.

[ffairlane57]

@tsb049 , yeah, uh....for eleven days more.

[tsb049]

@ffairlane57 couple of months actually

[MrOshutup]

He went a little off the deep end there toward the end of his life with his "shock reality" humor. It was genius though no doubt about it and no one has ever come close since.

[xXdwebbXx]

There's a cure. And those cunts keep it a secret. Andy Your A Ledge.

[Shabba691]

amazing...

[TheBkDani]

he would have been a perfect Bush impersonator had he been alive. amazing genius way ahead of his time.

[jackster1212]

Transcendant genius... a total original.

[uhfnutbar1]

Elvis die 1977 was this befor or after

[BobGeorgeAU]

@uhfnutbar1 Before. That date in the corner of the screen says 03.03.77 and Elvis died August 16.

[kiwigalahad]

Not as good as the King sure, but the King wasn't as good as Andy either. Loved it

[MISSYOUMOSSIE]

Tank you vedy much

[immortal19791]

how can 4 people dislike this?, great performace from Andy

[MartinGro131]

The women where sceaming as if the real King was on the stage :)))

[gusyyy23]

I miss him.

[LaszloBencze]

Probably one of the all time best Elvis impersonators.

[stopputtingLoL]

@LaszloBencze don't know... but it was Elvis preferred...

[funsundave]

funny 30 years later talent never goes away! amazing talent i had the pleasure to meet Andy once at Chipendales in West LA he was challenging women for wrestling matches! i will never forget how he was so intense and  was naturally funny u are born with that.

[joary639]

it´s Nicolas Cage!

[rosenbar]

so wonderful that these old videos are on youtube. what a genius was ak.

[capnfooDRIVEin]

@OneDownServer You may think you understand Andy, but 99% of the people who think they understand him, are not even close. Me included.  He's pure genius.

[STEPMASTURB]

@OneDownServer

yup yup we all know you are more talented than andy kaufman, im sure your parents also told you you are a real princess

[TheSarahSteele]

@dunskie thank you so much!!!!

[dunskie]

What the heck is this? I was looking for Kaja-goo goo.

[kylemcgrath14]

lol he said his first record was in 1927. Elvis wasn’t even born yet.

[dunskie]

@kylemcgrath14 That was what they call a "joke" son. Elvis used to use the same exact line in his later concerts.

[TheSarahSteele]

What Elvis songs did he sing?? I want to buy them!!

[dunskie]

@TheSarahSteele The first slow one was,"Love Me", and the second was,"Blue Suede Shoes" of course.

[adjiduomo]

Too funny!

[wiggler20]

elvis said andy was his favorite! =)

[AutisticPersona]

Elvis was alive when this happened I wondered what he thought of that?

[LadyMelena]

@AutisticPersona

He actually commented on this, saying it was his favourite impersonation of him.

[realfunny7]

i saw him at burger king last week

[H2rJT]

@realfunny7 he's long dead bro

[realfunny7]

@H2rJT no kidding!

[H2rJT]

@realfunny7 maybe you saw his Ghost O.o

[kaitlinan]

And now... Heeeere's Johnny

[TheRealSyFyGuy]

What sort of ding bats hit dislike? Some folks just don't get it.

[ALittleBitOfGreen]

i just love him doing his Elvis thing.. so sad he was gone too soon..

[finto415]

My name is Anthony Clifton, This little bastard has taken my name and I don"t like it one fucking bit...Andy, Andy, ....wake up!......I will spray paint your ass hole and God will bless me when he holds the can.

[ZelbeQahi]

Andy Kaufman was not of his time. He is more understood today than when he was alive. He made us understand that there is a difference between being a comic and a performance artist.

[jojopuppyfish]

BTW Elvis thought Kaufman was his best impersonator

[CHAMIONandBOO]

love this guy

[gtelm]

A true original. Andy nbt only thought outside the box, he was never in the box to begin with.

[PresleyStudios]

WOW !

[stonesrule200]

Genius...............

[CoolBlueAviators]

It's somehow more funny while reading the comments where people still don't get it. He's still trolling people after he's long gone. Hilarious!

[fffreddie]

I remember seeing this. I didn't think he was very funny. I was just out of high school and didn't understand his humor. It took me a while to appreciate and understand his humor. His Elvis was fantastic and the best ever.

[garbageidiot]

This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

[2ndhandsoul]

Also, and for the record, I think a lot of Andy's negative feedback might be due from a lack of knowledge as to what he's really doing. It's an act. It's not stand-up. The one particular thing that set him apart and might even grant him a genius status, in my opinion (for what it's worth), is how he drew in the audience into the whole equation. Maybe like quantum comedy. The observer is in fact a part of the observed in an unperceived whole. The world was Andy's stage, and we were players.

[23Finndog]

really stupid, I can find humor in a lot of things this guy really had no talent and that's funny? This reminds me of watching Jersey Shore

[irresistablepromise]

@23Finndog why do you waste time watching and commenting on it then???

[2ndhandsoul]

@23Finndog Do you post these comments for a chance to be replied to or because you can't let the world get away without hearing you providing your opinion of it? A lot of people say pointless shit (and I'm not denying that this very post I am making isn't) but I think there are some things more "pointless-er" than others, and what you've shared with us seems particularly "pointlessful."

[MrWoramaik04]

fuckin remarkable

damn cant believe this is the first ive seen this..

[TheAndiePerson]

Was Andy Kaufman really tall? Or is it just the bell bottoms?

[deracinated1]

back in the day...

[silyi]

Wow this is absolutely amazing! blow mind he was a genius indeed.

[lonelygnome1]

absolutely genius.

[volikoto]

he acts good in the elvis thing....

[volikoto]

this make me think that people back in the day are easy to impressed...

[stfwho]

@volikoto your comment makes me think modern youth isn't very bright.

[volikoto]

@stfwho lol!!!....

[hammertofall77]

@volikoto you make people of our generation look stupid. as i read your comment, i realized i was witnessing the downfall of western society... kinda like jersey shore...

[FIGURESKEIGHTZ]

AHAHAHA!!!! AFTER THE SHOW BABY!!!! FIGURE SKEIGHTZ APPROVES!!!!!!!!8

[elbazart]

The little "thank you very much" in the end is what makes it so brilliant.

[Zephyesa]

Hes more than just very good, he was absolutely brilliant, I can see why Jim Carrey idolises him so much now.

[realfunny7]

i'm 62 and remember this - he died to soon - the best elvis

[realfunny7]

i'm 62 and remember this

[ALittleBitOfGreen]

:D i love him...

[paultheeggman]

"After the show, baby!"

[latitudetwenty]

Thank you very much!
