Dr. Kaufman is the platonic ideal of a Henchman.

"I am a doctorate of Geography. I could go to Stuttgart."

I am a doctor of oceanography. I could take you on a trip to the wreck of the Titanic and still produce the desired effect.

The changing flags were brilliant. Also, Doctor Kaufman *should* appear in every subsequent Bond film. He should always die, be back in the next one, and this should never be acknowledged.

"I am fully forklift certified, Mr Bond. I could shoot you from Stuttgart..."

"I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I could shoot you from Stuttgart and still produce the desired effect."

Changing to the flag of the Kaisereich when he mentions PragerU was inspired.

I can speedrun "Super Mario Bros." in 4 1/2 minutes. Believe me, Mr. Bond, I could shoot you from Stuttgart und still create ze proper effect.

I have 500 hours of playing Dragon Age Origins on my steam account, I could shoot you from Stuttgart and still create the proper effect.

oh my god *this* is where the "I could shoot you from stuttgart" bit is from????

"I am an Information Sciences major at the University of Madison. I can shoot you from Stuttgart."

He's holding the gun so daintily the whole time. Like a cup of tea.

Dr. Kaufman is played by Vincent Schiavelli, who was also at the beginning of "Amadeus" (1984) as Salieri's valet and played "Frederickson" in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975). He was a character actor with a *loong* list of film and TV appearances (over 120.)

I love that "I am just a professional doing a job!" as if he truly believed Bond would absolve him because of that. "Wait, I'm being paid to do this!" "Yeah which means you... could have SAID NO???" And that 'job' was killing his wife and Bond. And he knew Bond was also a secret agent. What a terrible line.

Oh, Kaufman. He was like a father to me

I cannot wait for "the vault" such Kaufman star material that the gang forgot to award it during the episode.

I've listened to this clip so many times. It's one I extracted myself when I first heard it just so I could find it whenever I want to. Absoluetely brilliant.

''I have over 100 hours in Deep Rock Galactic. I could shoot you from Stuttgart und still create ze proper effect.''

I live in a van down by the river. I could shoot you from Stuttgart and still produce the desired effect

Thank you for making this video now I can send it to people when I need to explain why Silent Hill having a doctor character named Michael Kaufmann is so incredibly funny to me

Still the most incredible scene of the entire James Bond series of this podcast. I love that this character spawned a new award. And everything about him is so wild... like: The absolutely worst way to do ANY accent especially a German one. His weird little mustache. The tone deafness, EVERYTHING is so weird lmao.

The funny thing about Kaufman to me is that he's so confident even though from the first second he appears on screen it's obvious to the audience that Bond will kill or humiliate him by the end of the scene. You're just waiting for him to screw up as soon as he shows up

Devon jokes about Kaufmann showing up in No Time to Die, and I think this episode came out before they saw that movie. But honestly I think Dr. Obrechev from No Time to Die is *even* worse than this guy

The flags changing is perfect.

3:09 "A man comes."

I´ve just had a realization that you may not like. There is a guy this calibre in "No Time to Die", and it is no other than our boi Obruchev.

True story: When my brother and I watched this as a couple wee lads, we'd say other things over this scene. "Shtand up... Drop ze gun, unt poop on your belly, ja?" - for some reason that stuck 😂

now im imagining Kaufman returning from the dead to become Paul Bearer

Every Bond film needs a Kman

“Kill the tone and pacing”? He’s in it for one scene, and he is nothing but amazing. The only thing he kills, besides Paris, is his performance.

If his Master's in Education is Swiss, maybe I can blame him for IB.

Dr Kaufman, the true GOAT

My man, you're 10 feet away from Bond, your marksmanship doesn't come into play.

He vas like a father to me.

I'm 6th prestige with fall camo on 3 different guns in Modern Warfare 2 (2009), I could shoot you from Shtuttgart and shtill create zhe proper effect

He looks like '80s Jeffrey Tambor (just watched a Murder She Wrote with him and Dean Jones and was like "why is he cosplaying Mean Gene Okerlund?")

"I'm Dr. Kaufman from the Gender Identity Clinic."

I was eating something with flaky pastry when the BTEC National line came in and damn near choked to death

my waif

I bought the soundtrack thinking it was going to be another goldeneye...

i cant fucking breathe

WTYPPod had a Dr. of Violence, would arguably be relevant qualifications.

Also in terms of They Just Didn't Care in terms of this film, the picture on the TV clearly not filling the screen because they couldn't be bothered to get the aspect ratio and/or resolution of whatever's connected to it correct (or just record it onto an actual tape / DVD through a camera) made me go "huh wait what" when it flashed by initially, and is making my skin crawl to look at in freezeframe now. That's the kind of crap I wouldn't let slide in some kind of amateur production, because it's so easy to get right if you're actually even an experienced hobbyist, let alone a supposed professional in the field. TV broadcasts have overscan. It's something that I've had to account for when making my own VideoCDs of bootlegged anime back in the day. Which means it should so clearly look like a fake video clip to the eye of someone who, for instance, _makes hollywood movies for a living._ Why and how was that allowed?

Everyone else is losing it over the flags, whilst I'm just here appreciating the tight-ass lipsynching job. I've had to try and line people's OWN words back up with their mouths because of some stupid video file desync before and that was hard enough... more than half of these are good enough to fool a Top of the Pops producer even though there's absolutely no reason or guarantee that the podders' lines will fit the mouth flaps. That said, what's the one which is blue over red with some kind of gold crest in the top left corner?
