No Seatbelt, No Excuse

Andy Kaufman - Jerry Lawler Feud

daphne says...

Yes yes yes...that's it exactly! He forced us to look at what we sheep swallowed and made us question it. He made the people who would shape comedy today question it. His influence sent ripples across the entire genre.

I tend to think that Andy was an accidental genius...that even he did not fully comprehend the effects that his style would have on the deconstruction and eventual reanimation to a more subversive comedy era. It seems to me that he was doing what HE thought was "funny" not what he thought someone else would think was "funny." His "funny" just happened to be brilliant. His comedy style involved us...no one had ever done that before.

Gawd, I love Andy. I hope people continue to realize how important he is to the way we see the things that make us laugh.
