@@AaronMitchell79 It's subversion of expectation. You expect a comeian like you're used to, some anecdotes, a few jokes sprinkled around, maybe a parody preferably of somebody well known. Kaufman puts it all on its head, with all the faux spontaneity of late night television, this is much more real than most acts ever even attempts to be. Kudos to Johnny for not breaking "character" which somehow heightens the surreal quality. If it helps you think of it more as a commentary or a piece of performance art. but you do not have to like it, it's subversion :)

It banks on a decent audience reaction to set it up which he didn't really get, a lot of his comedy revolved around reaction and sometimes it wasn't there so some skits didn't seem to work. Like the cannon ball story and the "no wait, wait" section which didn't seem to fit as not that many laughed prematurely.

I didn’t understand him when I was younger but rediscovered him after Jim Carrey played him in a movie. Now i think he was a comic genius! He was so creative no one could pull his material off without being booed off the stage.

How is it that he leads us along to accept the act.... from the character he is playing. It’s literally an act within an act.
