Andy Plays Carnegie Hall Pt 2

Say it with me folks:

MILK

&

COOKIES !!!

Because I know a lot of people hasn't seen this legendary Andy Kaufman's performace, and I just recently managed to get my little greedy paws on it, I decided to upload it on YouTube so everyone can enjoy it.

The Carnegie Hall show took place at the beginning of April 1979. In the bio-pic Man on the Moon, this event was shown to be planned and performed after Kaufman was diagnosed with cancer, when in fact it took place almost 4 years before.

In the second clip, Andy sings Oklahoma and does his famous Farm Song :)

I'm not getting this. Not to troll but what's his angle? why's he so great?

[danceonair86]

I don't think anyone can actually explain it if one doesn't get it. He was unique, original, always testing his audience, and mainly having fun with what he did even (or maybe especially) when everyone else thought he was nuts.

He was way ahead of his time, that much is certain.

cause he made a life out of doing it for the lulz.

[TawnyaTheGreatest]

So I always see him speaking differently, I can never actually tell what his voice sounds like :) I love it.

AAAaaahahahahaha "Why's he so Great" ... AAAAaaahahahahahaha ... I guess he just doesn't get it. I miss Andy so much ...

[larjanus]

You either get him or you don't. If you do, enjoy a talent you will never see again. If you don't...watch something else.

You are truly awesome for uploading this Thank You!

[oceankiddd]

wow. thank you. andy was an artist in the truest, most earnest, and dangerous way. i never came across andy's work till reading in "agent of evolution"(the bill hicks bio) that bill was a big fan of kaufman, so i went out and found the '77 improv, which really blew me away(mostly the first and second acts, the early tony clifton was kinda lame). andy made me laugh, cry, groan, yell, and most of all, think about what comedy really is.

andy, for this mona lisa of performance art, i salute you.

@hockeyissick17 agreed, sorry for the misunderstanding!

[hockeyissick17]

@defdeezy I'm saying that people still dont understand it today, so to call it before its time is saying that everyone would one day appreciate it, they just didnt know it. But yes, his humor makes more sense now than it did before.

[defdeezy]

@hockeyissick17 no, no, no. name one person who was doing what andy was doing back then.

[cro44magnum]

Where the Hell was Andy when his beloved Love Family was performing? Should he not have been visible and to the side of the stage looking awestruck whilst they were performing?

@tkhushrenada His angle was entertainment. Most people see entertainment as only a positive happy thing, but he created realism, pain, hatred, and happy moments. He was WAY before his time. People just didnt know what to expect with him which is why everyone wanted more. Today, we can see many actors or actresses that can keep a straight face whether they are joking or not. Then, he really was the only one that was doing. Again...WAY before his time.
