Do people under 40 even know who this is?
>>224093935An overrated comedian?
duh
Sam Hydeberg
>>224093935Murray Cohen o
Uh, yeah?>dude do people under 500 even know who isaac newton is hurr
>>224093935of course that's che guevera
I know and I'm not even American
>>22409393532, no
>>224093935I know him because boomers keep pushing him as the second coming of Jesus Christ for comedy. I'm yet to see anything he did that isn't demoralizing subversive bullshit
>>224093935I would assume not.
>>224094307>demoralizingstop posting until you learn what words mean. kauffman's shtick was all in good fun and his but was always misdirection in service of a punchline where the joke is either on him/his character, or totally value neutral and just a surprise
>>224093935He looks like early Tony Clifton back before the business ate him alive
>>224094307>subversiveWhich bit of his was subversive? He was one of the few comedians of his time who had no bad intentions and no subversive elements. Was it outdated, reddit comedy? Sure, but nothing about it was subversive, just throwing that word around are we?
>>224093935one of the ghost busters?
>>224094732he was absolutely subversive in that he subverted audience expectations. he would fake tantrums and breakdowns or show up in a costume. even when he was getting paid thousands of dollars a week from Taxi, he kept working as a bus boy as a gag. the entire wrestling women gimmick was just an excuse to wrestle random women, which he got off on, and the costume he wore was specifically designed to hide that he'd get bricked up as soon as he started grappling
>>224093935>people under 40he died in 1984 which was 42 years agoso there are people in their 40s who were born after he died and would rightfully have no clue who he isi'm with >>224094307 and those boomers pushing him are in their 60s, not their 40s
>>224093935now andy did you hear about this onetell me are you locked in the punchandy are you goofin on elvis (hey baby)are you losing touch?
>>224093935I’m over 40 and I just barely remember him. He was a spaz.
I liked that documentary about Jim Carey playing him.
>>224093935clearly a psychopath, probably even a cannibal
If you like REM, then yeah.

>>224094999why would they? he was never well known while he was alive. he was only slightly famous for about 5 years while on taxi but died right after in 84>he would fake tantrums and breakdowns or show up in a costume. even when he was getting paid thousands of dollars a week from Taxihe wasnt around very long but listening to people he worked with on taxi he wasnt very likable. they all were fed up with him by the end of the show none of them have any fond memories of him at all. and you know you are a jackass for those guys to hate you because they are all friends and still get together as a group to this very day
>>224096730one of many cases of boomers hyping up an average guy who would have been completely forgotten if he hadn't died young
>>224096818>died youngLOL, right, and Bill Hicks dies of cancer too.
>>224093935yes its a jew

Yes, he is all that Sam Hyde wanted to be
>>224096860oh look here's a schizo boomer come to share the deep secret conspiracies behind the deaths of mid comedians from the '80sobviously andy faked his death after realizing there was nothing left for him to accomplish after reaching the heights of uhhhh playing a side character in a sitcom?
>>224096451The Great Beyond is my favorite song.
>>224094307He was at his best in pro wrestlinghttps://youtu.be/qbOGPDmyZf4?si=z56LAVMu5FmUmVNG
>>224094307Surprised you didn't mis-use the words "pretentious" and "performative" as well, Timmy.
>>224093935I'm 46 and i've never seen anything he's ever done or been in. I only know of him because of general pop culture osmosis and man on the moon etc. He just isn't a household name here.t. australian.
>>224093935i doubt it, but they should, because he was a prophet, way, way, wayyyyyyy ahead of his time
>>224093935I'm 34 and I've watched a lot of reruns and professional wrestling so I'm very aware.
>>224093935Nicholas Cage?
>>224093935The guy who beat up a woman on camera as an unfunny gag
>>224097885>jewish stand up "comedy" that is literally just being insulting and condescending toward the audience with zero attempt at humor>other jews celebrate this as a legendary act that's never been done before or since
>>224098899mark
>>224093935Papers? Zigzag?
>>224098914>n-no, you don't get it, you're not in on the joke unless you sit there and let the jew insult you>what? no, the jew isn't joking, he actually has complete contempt for the goyim in the audience>oh but he doesn't mean ME, he's talking to the other people, he'd probably think i'm really cool for being in on the joke>that's what makes it so funny! it's a shame he's not still alive, i'm sure all the good goys like you would love a chance to pay a jew to insult you
>>224097301You not being able to comprehend some else's motives doesn't negate the truth.
>>224097827Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
>>224095672I just know about this unfunny faggot from Carrey's movie and I'm genX (b. 70s).Even the boom booms tried to erase his memory. I take it that Carrey (b. 60s) grew up on him and borrowed from his style. Except that Carrey had talent.
>>224098877girl wrestling was cringe in "Stripes" too. even Candy couldn't save it.
>>224099916>In 2014, Zmuda and Margulies coauthored Andy Kaufman: The Truth, Finally, a book claiming that Kaufman's death was indeed a prank, and that he would soon reveal himself, as his upper limit on the "prank" was 30 years. Kaufman did not reappear.
>>224100186>Kaufman did not reappear
>>22409393535. No. And I watch 80s and 90s stuff all the time, I'm halfway through the first watchthrough of Cheers.
>>224093935>Do people under 40 even know who this is?No. Why should they?
>>224093935I need to finish watching Taxi. I have the whole series on DVD. I don't usually go in for the waifu meme, but I absolutely fell in love with Marilu Henner. She is one of the hottest women I have ever seen.
>>224100282Which goalposts did I move, specifically? Some of his kike buddies claiming it was a prank doesn't make it true and the fact that he didn't show up to reveal said prank when they claimed he would further cements it as bullshit.
>>224093935Yes
>>224100733>She is one of the hottest women I have ever seen.I've never heard a guy say this about an attractive women; it's always some grotesque creature who I suppose reminds them of the friend of the family who molested them when they were children.
>>224100804>I've never heard a guy say this about an attractive womenWell now you have.
>>224093935I'm 40 and I only know of him because of the biopic with Jim Carrey.
>>224096818>hyping up an average guy who would have been completely forgotten if he hadn't died youngpretty much this. again, andy didnt do much so he is only known for that. even his most famous part on taxi wasnt that great anybody could have done it as proven by the fact they gave him a wife on the show that was from the same country and she did the part of a weird foreigner better than him
