I loved the site! Andy Kaufman is a true genius, and you have caught him within this site. You actually analyzed what he did, instead of just posting it and leaving it unnoticed. You truly went within his mind to try to figure out why he did the things he did. the anti hero The first time I saw Andy was a bit he played (I think it aired on SNL) where he played to the bongos of the first tune of the Music Man. Cash for the cotton goods CASH for the merchandise, whaddya talk whaddya talk, where do you get it....... All the audience were stupified till they caught on what he was doing, its the Music Man, once you caught on it was magic. But first it was very strange. Then it was the reading of the Great Gatsby, pure genius, getting the audience against him purposefuly. I thought he was a genius or very very mad. I think it was a touch of both, same feelings I have for Frank Zappa and his genius madness provocation. I love them both and I hope they live in our hearts (at least some of us) I wish they were still with us. Jack Hunt I hate it when people call Andy crazy, he wasnt.i know. I am alot like him,and people think im crazy too. thats what I want them to think. Life is like theater and Andy knew that.or maybe he was mad maybe insanity sees itself as sane so maybe im insane...oh well I'm from hollywood and i have the brains.bye everone. Andy(James) Andy didn't just make everyone laugh. Everything he did was thought-provoking and just brilliant. And he wasn't afraid to make the audience the punchline. HE was just brilliant. Andromeda Hello everyone, I think that andy is the most talented comedian. He may have upset the audience sometimes but wasnt it funny? I thought it was. I dont know why they got so mad they should have known he was putting a show on. Anyway, great page and keep up the good work! christine I would just like to say thanks for making this page and all the others. I believe that Andy was a great performer, wrestler, comedian, and everything elese that he was. Andy was a great man that saw the world in a totally different perspective than anyone else. He made his audience think. Caitlin Magee I am only 13 but i belive ANdy was the best comedian genius whatever yo want to call him. He changed every one. Made every one think. I am only 13 like i said but lately i have been following andy watching his movies and ever since the taunts to jerry lawler to the famous saying, "THANK YOU VERY MUCH" he was a genius and i loved him. Andy will always live with us. Jarome I am 15 years old. I was born only a few months after Andy's death. The first time I saw him was on Taxi and I was hooked. I had to find out about this guy. Now, I am so completely taken by him. Sometimes I think he's haunting me. But really, he's playing a major role in making me complete. Thank you Andy. Mary Mowers Good people never die....they live in our heart. magoudy Andy Kaufman is without a doubt, one of the biggest entertainment geniuses to ever grace us with his prescence. His flame was snuffed out much too quickly. Jake Moreno I never saw him while he was still alive, I was born three months after he died, so I suppose I wouldn't know the phenomenon that was Andy Kaufman as well as people a good 15 years older than me would. But I'd say this... genius, mad, mad genius whatever the hell the chap was, he was a very intereresting person. Though a weird one, not a bad one. And sometimes he was a real hoot. One of the cool things he did was make audiences laugh at *themselves*; their own perceptions and expectations. That's a something almost no one takes a shot at, but it's worth it when they do. Marmar Andy kaufman was the biggest jerk in the world, but you know what that is what made him the best entertainer in the history of this world. No one can even compare, If you look around today you see all the comedians taking bits and peices of his acts.Tom Green is the biggest ripp off.Andy set the stage for generations to come.I have a hard time believing he is even dead. Wether or not he is dead Andy still lives on in us all. chris shaw "don't you think the joker laughs at you..." (Beatles) As a fan of Andy Kaufman, I just want to say I hope he never comes back ... it just would be Andy (whatever that means) B I just watched the movie Man On The Moon. I believe he just wanted the best out of everything and the best out of everyone. He was a step ahead and was crafty. I felt a bond through Andy and his style, and I do hope to find where he is laughing. Byron Horne Believing that Andy Kaufman could still be alive is like a kid believing in Santa Claus or anyone believing in a deity of some sort - it's real enough for those who believe. If anyone can fall for Peter Popoff's charade, why not Andy Kaufman's? Wayne Chapman I grew up with no idea who Andy Kaufman was .... I grew up with comedians like Jim Carry. I just barly came to be aware of Andy and i'm glad I have. I could only wish that I could see all the material and all the shows he did like Taxi. I've only seen some of his shows but I bet if I was born like 20 years earlier I would have become additiced to watching andy and his shows, since I've become aware of Andy's comedic ways he's become my idol. I just wish I could see everything he's ever done!!! and I think your site is great. I love all the pic's of Andy .... Peter Coniceak Hi! I am a big fan of Andy's! Man on the Moon was a great tribute. They put many different things in the movie. The one thing they didn't mention was "My Breakfast with Blassie." That is a classic Andy Kaufman film. It's Kaufman at his best. Clowning around and interviewing an old time professional wrestler (who is male chauvenist pig). See this film if you are a true Kaufman fan! GREAT JOB ANDY! YOU REALLY GOT THE REACTION FROM THE WORLD YOU WANTED!! YOU ARE AN ICON! Paul L. Nelson Hello I am just getting into Andy Kaufman, Im 16 and wish I could of met this man. I hope to meet Jim Carrey just to met the man who played the best joker in the world. AK was a great man in my mind. Mike Andy was my favorite comedian even though I was born after he did most of his most best things. He is still the best comedian. The funny thing is he is no specific thing like an actor or comedian he is just simply.....Andy. Halima Akar The greatest Elvis Presley imitator ever. perhaps that's why andy rarely performed it. if he did, it would give us pleasure. Andy wanted us to be angry participants. h.v. whitesell I just saw "Man on the Moon" and I must say that I enjoyed it immensely! Jim Carrey does an uncanny AK impression! Who was Andy Kaufman? I think he was a man who walked the border between genius and madness ... and he still has us laughing, holding our sides, and scratching our heads 20+ years later! Michelle Even though I know Andy is dead, I still wan't to believe that he is out in the world somewhere laughing at all of us and starting another life over again. rachel Andy Kaufman was an absolute genious, and that is proven by the amount of publicity he can still get and the amount of controversy still surrounding him these years later. He is pure genious. David Kahn Andy is my idol, though i am only 18, i've spent many hours reading, and studying video. hehe he has inspired me so much. Andy Wherever you are, THANK YOU. Alina Andy Kaufman was the kind of man who wanted to bend comedy to really effect the human mind. Laura H. Kinner Andy Kaufman was and is the greatest comedic actor ever. some people didnt understand his antics but I did. and he always made me laugh, I never got mad at his performances, they were great. Josh Royle Well, here i am, i just saw "Man on the Moon" and have drew a great deal of inspiration from it. I really belive that Andy was before his time, the man we know as such a comic, no, preformance genius was and still is incredible by all means. Kris Andy was the most original comedian of our time and never will anybody as eccentric as andy ever grace a stage the way Andy Kaufman did. Joe This site makes me laugh and cry in the same sentence...post it or not, thanks. Scott Reid I was born the day Andy died =*( he was very funny, and I grew up watching Taxi re-runs!! I cant wait to go see Man on the moon! Jenny Andy was one of the few who was smart enough to wander when he wasnt lost, a true dreamer. john houghton I love andy. He is a God in my country. The movie best be good- Carrey seems convincing thus far. kolleen I think Andy Kaufman was the greatest comedic genius too ever live. And "Man on the Moon" is the greatest movie this year!!!!! Youngest Kaufman fan Absolutely nothing short of a rare once-in-a-lifetime creative mind/genius. I hope he reappears soon for the sake of all that truly appreciate his uniqueness. No one else could ever capture what he achieved,for no one else lived his life. I hope he re-emerges in the near future--the sooner the better... fan from R.I. I love Andy Kaufman! I spend my nights crying about him. I listen to the "Man On The Moon" soundtrack all the time. My favorite song that Andy did was "This Friendly World"! It makes me so sad. I think he is going to come back and surprise us all!! If that happened, I could die happy! I LOVE ANDY KAUFMAN!!!! Nina He was Andy. Sad, Funny, but sincere. He was an original and never ever compromised who he was. A lesson for us all. God took him early as he does all people that are beyond thier relm. Big fish in a little pond. We will never understand him. He was genius. Jon I remember seeing Andy for the first time on SNL, with his Mighty Mouse, and thinking, finally!! Someone as weird as I am!!!! I just went to see M on M and it was great.... Andy lived and breathed again, through Jim Carrey.... It was almost eerie. You did a great job on your web site! Tank you Veddy much! Cindy Andy Kaufman was an incredible entertainer, and his death was a tragedy; the one time when he wasn't joking was the time of his death, but his legacy remains today. All of the speculations about him still being alive are not only created by our own undying curiousity, but also by our sadness that someone as amiable and as lively as him could die. Emily Brown I'm just 15, so I didn't enter Uncle Andy's Funhouse until I watched Man on the Moon. We're very similar, Andy and I because we're both into Eastern philosophy, and no one can quite understand either of us. I too am an aspiring comic. Andy was the lost little boy you can't help but love. He always seemed to lose total control of himself when he was on screen. He is an inspiration to me. Maybe it's just natural, being one of his younger fans and still just in the middle of my childhood, but I truly believe that there's a large chance that Andy is somewhere out there. Out there waiting to come back and have his fun with us, having played with our minds for so long. We'll all agree, "That was an amazing joke!" And he'll probably say: "Tank you veddy much." Alison Wheat Andy was awesome. He was a comical genius. He wasn't a comedian though, he was a song and dance man. He wanted the audience to hate him. And they did, but they laughed. Nobody really understood him except for him. He is a legend. Ashlin Franklin I think Andy Kaufman was a wonderful actor and comedian even though he didn't think of himself as a comedian he was one of the greatest. He was hard for everyone to understand but still he was special. courtney Even though I'm only 14 and have only recently become fascinated with Andy, I think he's one of the most innovative performers this world has ever seen. I realize that I'm most likely not old enough to even talk, but from what I've seen and read, I find Andy Kaufman captivating. Annie I just recently discovered who Andy Kaufman truly was, I was too young to see his many exploits when they first appeared, all I saw were the Taxi reruns on Nickelodeon, and I didn't like them, but now I know Andy didn't either. Through specials on Comedy Central and most recently Man on the Moon I finally got to see who this man really was. The kind of entertainment that he truly wanted the world to know him for is in my opinion hilarious and brilliant, and I'm sorry I had to miss them when they actually happened. Andy Evans I love Andy Kaufman because he refuses to sell out and always is original and on the cutting edge. Take a look at the stuff he did when he was alive, comedians are copying it ever since. Bobby Miller Even though im only 13, I've seen tributes on t.v about him. and he's pretty cool. and larry lawler was a wrestler then,hes a total beer chuggin idiot now that wears some stupid costume. I wouldnt wanna see him in a wrestling outfit now. holly h. Andy Kaufman was one great mind. NOT A HUMAN but a great mind. I think he was one great mind. That could pull off anything ever. Andrew Battistelli Andy Kaufman was a great comedian I hope he was still alive but he's not! I'm looking to find out reasearch places where I can learn more about the comic genius Andy Kaufman/Latka/Tony Clifton/Forien Man. Adam Minneci I loved Andy, but I hated "Man On the Moon." What a disgrace! I can't believe that his friends where behind the movie. It gave amazingly little insight into his personal life, and made him out to be an unfunny moron. I was hoping that the movie would introduce him to new fans, but this movie could only make people dislike him before they ever saw him. It makes me sad. Brent continued - pages |
