LOL, Latka quoting fractions to Jim is just priceless.

Latka is a brilliant character, and the reason I love Taxi, but Jim! Jim is incredibly funny. Imagine a Jim and Latka spin off - like dysfunctional Perfect Strangers.

Latka and Jim make one heck of a pair in this episode . . .

They literally told them to go out and speak gibberish to each other then added the subtitles later. It’s incredible watching them making everything up with a straight face.

At 8:43 i cried when Latka hugged his Mama goodbye !!! 😢

Man, the wacky silly wordplay is pretty genius in this. Some great stuff. Loadoff, betta, etc...

Thanks Orson, I too was blown away by Kaufman's sincerity in this. He's just so slender here. Robin Williams was great, but Andy is so transparent here, and it seems effortless in comparison. What could've been...

I don't know what I love more... Casting a women younger than Andy as his mom. The made up language that sounds like something right out of a European country. Or that snazzy suitcase

I lost it at "Peh-oh-pleh"

One of the best theme songs ever..

Theme song takes me back to a house I lived in back in Georgia and my first wife.

‘Loadoff’. ‘Sit’. Lmao

A lot of great shows in the late seventies and throughout the '80s. But Taxi's writing, acting, and direction were the trifecta of comedy.

Great quality thank you so much - a rare and valued clip. [thought I posted this on the Orson Welles/Kaufman interview?]

It's a fake language, and yet you can still hear they're speaking it with thick American accents!

Loved it then and still love it now

How did Andy do this show and wrestle 400 women?

I love the painting in the back lmao

2:00 Lmfaoooooo Latka got serious

4:01 I lose my sides with this lol

I love Simka & Latka 💞

hell that O.J joke came out with a way different and prolonged punch line huh?

summer 1977 lmao

7:07 - I didn't get that joke the first time I watched this, but now I know what light my fire means.

Borat before Borat

Used to love this on the BBC but can't ever remember watching the last episodes. So not sure what the BBC did.

I know this is just comedy. But I’m an emigrant, and to say good by to one’s family is a hard thing to do , i to am almost in tears when he said good by .

GASP

*the woman that plays his mom is a knock-out* ⭐️

& the weather outside

Ibbi Da

Who else is here because or Orson Welles?

I got peace of mind... yeah a very small piece lol 😅

dibidibida!

6:36 - This was shot in the early 80s, when OJ Simpson was a famous footballer and Mr Nice Guy, unconvincing to play a killer like the Terminator. Shocking in retrospect.

Latka's mother actually acted better than Kauffman did

he looks older then the "mum"😃

OJ Simpson hahahaha

6:35 Well...

Thank you.

He says a man can become another O.J. Simpson in America... yikes?

Why his mother younger than him?

Someone has filmed me leaving the house :)

I like this show, but the opening tracks takes ages.

Borat's character got his idea from Latka

How could you do this to my family to me and everyone for a bunch of ******?

We all know this - I have gone thru this - leave all my loved ones and come to a different country - much crying, so much pain - but then why do we do it? Because we HAVE to - it's part of growing up And that's the difference between Heaven and Reincarnation Heaven is the home that we MUST leave - we are grown up now, our parents can't take care of us forever, we have to leave the nest Heaven is the nest and Reincarnation is us leaving the nest Heaven is the past and Reincarnation is the Future Heaven is the Childhood that we must leave behind and Reincarnation is the Adulthood that we must embrace

I didn't know Biden 🤡 was an actor😮 🦆🦆
