This guy created the concept of “It’s so unfunny, that it’s hilarious.” He was so ahead of his time.

The one comic that I never could figure out if he was in character or that's just who he was.

Any Kaufman was the king of originality and the king of f*cking with people. He’s a comedic genius and will be missed.

I'm from argentina, so naturally i didn't know much about Andy Kauffman until jim carrey and Man on the Moon. Clearly this man was a genius. You can make a joke ‘without' joke, just by your tones, gestures and timming. He mastered it.

Hilarious, reminds me when I tried to teach my son what a punchline was!

One of the greatest comedians of all time.

[ACME]

Perfect example of someone who became a celebrity because that was the only choice to watch on television.🎉

Andy was Awesome. Love him lots. Especially imitating Elvis!!!❤❤❤He did a Terrific impersonation of him.

[PaulMarkwick]

A total one off. More performance art than stand up! ❤

[DougJean]

The Mighty Mouse routine was light years ahead of its time.

Its hilarious when the audience reaction causes him to lose his place and he has to start all over again. A pure comedic genius. RIP Andy K

Nicholas Cage looks a lot like him!! He was so funny!! He just didn't realize how much he was loved!!

[bennissimov]

God this guy was so ahead of his time 😂😂😂

When not funny is funny!! A genius but who was Andy Kaufman?

[talchalak]

Take my wife... just take her is an old vaudville joke box gag - it's as old as they get but he managed to deliver it differently and made it work.

I never saw why there was so much hype about him. He was okay on Taxi but I never saw him as one of the greats.

[dianezahavi]

Gone way too soon. A brilliant comedian.

[DannyKlaus-ip]

I have no idea why people think he was so funny

[jfi-yo]

Andy: "Are you laughing at me or with me?" 😢

For those of you in the comment section, wondering;…what made Andy Kaufman so great and legendary was not necessarily his comedic performance, but rather his creative genius.
