Andy's Funhouse

At the height of his powers, the iconic and influential Andy Kaufman crafted this masterpiece of a comedy special. As it gradually increases in laughs, absurdism, and awkwardness, "Andy's Funhouse" is a comedy show like no other, as Kaufman dazzles and confuses the viewer with often surrealist gags. The "interview" with Cindy Williams is a classic example of Kaufman's humor at its most uncomfortable and hilarious, and the segment with Howdy Doody is both one of the funniest and (strangely) saddest things I have ever witnessed.

Kaufman's comedy is puzzling, but also entertaining as hell. It had me laughing while also thinking; the influence Andy Kaufman had in the world of comedy is one unmatched by many. His strange style has been adapted by many of today's finest comics, and to this day people are still scratching their heads and rolling in the isles along with masterful specials such as "Andy's Funhouse".
