Who is the closest thing we have to Andy Kaufman today?

Shia

Andy Kaufman was a household name, these guys are total unknowns to the average person.

This is probably it. Of all the anti-humor figures, he's probably the one people hate the most, which is sign he's doing it right. He's perfected the "vain hollywood celebrity" act that Kaufman was known for.

that was simply because he was on a prime-time sitcom in the pre-cable era. Everyone watched Taxi, so everyone knew who he was. There is nothing on tv now that comes close to being as ubiquitous as a pre-cable sitcom.

Yeah except he's not a Hollywood celebrity

>anti-humor figures

I miss her

Pupie still has videos make the rounds on Facebook sometimes with moms thinking she's real.

Kanye West

Neither was Kaufman. His celebrity status came from a small recurring sitcom role.

Imagine their child

She made a new video recently.

Sam Hyde is like borderline retarded, he could never be Andy Kaufman. The only thing we have that's close to him these days is... Probably me

I think Sam Hyde will be widely considered a genius in 50 years.

Andre, Heidecker, and Hyde together.

Andre is the "trolls other celebs" aspect.
Heidecker is the "trolls fans and press" aspect.
Hyde is the "trolls the network" aspect.

Lmao

His name, is BG Kumbi.

Showing skits displaying unironic antisemitism to your Jewish boss isn't being controversial, it's called being retarded.

He will be forgotten by everyone

>Heidecker = Heid + Ereck

Significantly funnier than her tiktoks at least

Kaufman was forgotten by everyone but boomers and "comedy buffs". He left behind no body of work at all.

She's adorable and with a great sense of humor. Not a lot of women like her, and I hope her boyfriend knows how lucky he is.

You're joking, right? I'm a zoomer and I've known who he is for most of my life. Neither of my parents were even fans of him. Dude's a pop culture icon.

You know who he is because of the Jim Carrey movie

If and only if people get dumber. As pointed out he drinks his own kool aid. Kaufman never did that. He knew the difference between art and autism.

>he drinks his own kool aid.
That's what you think, dummy.

>difference between art and autism.
That's cause Kaufman was wholy autistic so his art reflected it, his shit was so stupid it was unique in the time of cable therefore someone new and funny
this retard is a character act but he may be the closest, very good at staying in autistic character

alex jones

Came here to post this.

and a lot of SNL

I say this every time Alex Jones is brought up in conversation

Tim spends all his time with Vic Berger these days. I seriously doubt the "vain hollywood celebrity" thing is an act.

You're right, it isn't an act. He just wants to keep it ambiguous and not address it directly so people still think it's true.

von Trier

This dude fucking ez

I’d have to agree, but he does not really do the various public schticks that Kaufman did. Benjy Bronk comes to mind too.

Yup.

Heidecker used to do weird shit, not on Kaufman's level, but pretty close. His "stand up" and appearances on TV.
Up until Trump broke his brain and he became sincere
