This is either really sad, or a poor imitation of the Andy Kaufman one. Either way, it's getting the guy some attention, for sure.

Your video, Andy Kaufman channels Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman 1980, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I'm old enought to remember watching his skits on SNL. This was classic Andy Kaufman. Even though I know its an act... He still makes me uncomfortable when I watch him. He was a genius.
I think Joaquin may just be a nut though. Or he stole this act. Good find.

I sure hope he's pulling an Andy Kaufman here.

Take a look at the related video of when Joaquin was on David Letterman. A little disturbing but definitely funny. I think he's acting up ala Andy Kaufman.

He obviously wants to be banned, as a dramatic finale to his Andy Kaufman-lite performance art. If we really wanted to fuck with him, we'd let him stay on the site, but take away his ability to comment and downvote, and limit his queue to one video.


Can we do that? Please? It would amuse me greatly.

Forget banning. We need to spay or neuter the trolls.



>> ^MycroftHomlz:
I wonder if he discarded my playlist? Can you do that Lucky? I seriously have no idea how my playlist To Promote was deleted.
It is a sad thing as it was the #1 playlist.


I was going to ask - what happened to the playlist??? Ah... mysterious Om nom nom.

He's like a Dutch Andy Kaufman or something.

Thanks, ant. Google Video has REMOVED The Passion of Andy Kaufman from their server, so the video is no longer available online. If it is replaced or just temporarily unavailable, I'll replace the embed code and requeue it. In the meantime, you can still watch the entire 2.5 hour film through THIS link (link opens a 1.5 GB MPG).

This is like an Andy Kaufman stunt.

First he says he'll quit if people sign a petition, now he chums the internet almost baiting the intetnets to get a million signatures.

CaptainPlanet420, I won't sit up here and skewer you like the rest. I know when someone is ribbing us, and that appears to be what you're doing. You're going to be labeled the Andy Kaufman of the VideoSift if you keep it up.

I don't care for bigots, personally. I don't like it when someone labels someone with intended malice. I'd love for all of us to coexist without hate in our hearts. But, what a terrible world it would be if all of our good words like queer, fag and homo were taken away from us because we were afraid of bigots using them. Sometimes the use of those words isn't necessarily meant to be hate speech. They're perfectly good words.

this is dead, but THIS isn't: http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Passion-of-Andy-Kaufman

I always thought that the bassist looked like Andy Kaufman.

Best unplugged show ever :
Pearl Jam
Alice in Chains
Nirvana
