I'll tell you what's freaky about it: how totally and completely un-funny I found him.

He never meant to be funny. His job, as he said, was not to make you laugh, but to get a rise out of you.

Andy Kaufman tested the boundaries of comedy. He wanted to show how unfunny comedy could be and still be called humor. It is all very zen like.

I'll tell you what's freaky about it: how totally and completely un-funny I found him. I agree... He was pretty lame, compared to his contemporaries (Carlin, Pryor, and Kinison)

As a kid I didn't get him. After growing up and seeing his skits on SNL reruns and other specials I find myself laughing my ass off. My favorite is the Mighty Mouse skit he did on SNL. He put the audience in an uncomfortable position of not knowing what the hell he was doing. He turned the audience into the joke for the viewers.

I'll tell you what's freaky about it: how totally and completely un-funny I found him. Totally. His faking his death and getting out of the way of talented people was the best favor he could have done us.
Newsflash, Andy: Taxi was your high note, and it wasn't very funny.

I never found him funny at all.
I like the movie about him(was it Man on Moon?), because it showed what a wacked out mental case he was.
And this "faking his death" and returning 20 years later is just morbid and pathetic at the same time.
The joke's on Andy Kaufman.

completely un-funny beauty is in the eye of the beholder; personally I thought he was original - nothing was so funny as him lip sync-hing that Mighty Mouse "here he comes to save the day" and the character on Taxi was very well done.
