Andy was another wonderful human being who left us too early.

"the kind of girl who craves rejection and goes around creating it for herself" is a genius line.

"We're all coming from a different direction and sometimes it's not in sync. Sorry, but you had that coming".

Its hard to believe Kauffman hated this show so much, he was amazing in it!

Each actress/actor on this show was a class of their own. Truly great!

Andy's true personality shining through

You know you're insane when you make Danny DeVito the straight man

I feel like they're all genuinely reacting to Andy

I remember watching this show when I was too little to realize how great this show was😂

He created one of Televisions great characters. Genius..

Kaufman was a genius with characters, impressions, so many years later it's still just as funny!

I lost it when Latka became Alex.

You can really feel the anger from everyone on set lol

About 34 seconds in you can clearly see Danny trying to hold it in to stop from laughing

'Alter my lifestyle to fit the fast lane,' is one of the phrases that pops n2 my head - IN LATKA'S VOICE - every so often, for no apparent reason. Taxi was a really good show. And its still way better than most of the modern tv shows running today. Instead of all the reboots, just put classics like these back on. Id watch more tv then lol.

Andy was ahead of his time, nobody understood the poor guy or even cared to ! Comic genius !

Andy's "thing" was to tell the audience "Oh, you like this character and want to see more of it? OK, I'll try something completely different."

Andy was was way ahead of his time at being the ultimate troll.

You just wasted Elvis Costello

Thank You for posting this - 30 years it make me laugh hardcore. Kaufman and De Vito are classic on clip. Kaufman did this split personality episode to a hilarious core funny that still stands!

Funny when he looks at Bobby and goes "Ooooh...redheads." after Elaine yells at him!

He was unbelivable....I know I watched that show all the time...not realizing what a genius he was at the time...now I'm still a major fan of andy....there will never be another like him......

who really invented scratching

Andy Kauffman was a comedy genius...damn I miss him.

Why is this video flagged as inappropriate? This aired on network cable in the early 80s. KZfaq has officially gotten more uptight about content then television was 38 years ago...

Latka: "Hey! I am out, man - read my lips!" 😹😸😺👍

I thought i had a right to evolve but im sencing alot of hostility here... Love it

This amazing show was produced by and directed by the same guys who did Cheers....no wonder they were both awesome shows

I'm here cause Howard Stern said Andy could have played Kramer on Seinfeld. And Jerry said "Now that you mention it hes the only person I ever could picture playing Kramer." SO TRUE! & In this bit especially!

Andy Kaufman was ahead of his time

I remember watching this show with my dad when I was a kid. The Latka/Vic Ferrari character would have us rolling on the floor laughing.

Amazingly, Kaufman was the best actor on the show.

"Ooooh, redheads!"

Being a big fan of the comedy genre, it's frustating that I'm just finding out about Andy Kaufman, he Really was special

I feel most of his actions were unplanned without the others knowing

what's really funny is how pissed off Judd Hirsch was during this "Andy-phase". He looked like he wanted to just crack Andy here.

we're all coming from a different direction and sometimes it doesnt get in sync . Sorry but you had it coming....wow just wow

The real Andy shows up on Taxi for a few minutes.

Watching reruns of this show, either it's so freaking hillarious, or it's it's painfully boring.

Andy was hilarious, a comic master!

I'm currently watching Taxi on dvd. I notice a bit of tension and weariness from the other cast members anytime Andy becomes Vic Ferrari, and other characters that were not Latka. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing Andy often went off script and improvised which might have pissed off the others a little. I wonder if cast members didn't know what to expect from Andy each day. Taxi is an awesome show!!! That and WKRP in Cincinnati.

As a DJ, I would've been livid if someone scratched my vinyl like that! But man that was hilarious!

Best sitcoms ever: Taxi, Married with children, Frasier & Seinfeld

My favourite episode Kaufman is brilliant,got the dude gig spot on.

Brilliant! Way ahead of his time in every way. And the writing is fantastic. I wonder what the writing process was like...? How much input did he have and give to the writers about this scene? Looking at this, I'm just thinking how genius he was... and did they realize it at the time?

Man theres nothing like past sitcoms. Way better acting.

One of the greatest professional wrestling story lines involved Kaufman and Jerry Lawler.

My god this was comedy genius, thanks from the UK

Kaufman was pure genius!

Classic Episode Taxi was a great show. Kaufman is great at the heel stuff both in wrestling and TV.

"Deandra, you look like a banana"

when New Yorkers were New Yorkers......

One of the best episodes

i adore this episode!

Vic Ferrari was hilarious. It’s like he had a personality injection and changed into a completely different person.

0:25- "Hey, man, what is your problem?" sounds almost like Richard Pryor's voice. I have the full episode on a VHS tape at my old house.

I wish the video hadn't cut just short of where Alex tells Vic off!!!

At the time I liked Latka and Jim the best in the show

0;20 This is how hip hop music was invented.

People forget how much good work Kaufman did in a structured environment on Taxi, and get distracted by the performance art and Jerry Lawler and the Letterman bits and the Jim Carrey movie.

God bless you Andy

You know, no ones ever seen Andy Kaufman and Krist Novoselic in the same room

Amazing actor, never took one lesson.

What a great scene! I need to find this episode and watch the entire show.

Jeff conway should have said I was with the tbirds man don’t mess with me lol

Hilarious holy sh.t!!!funny as he'll I used to watch this show all the time wow

I loved when he would transform into Vic. Everything was an opportunity to push boundaries with Andy. Jim Carrey was a clown in that movie and I don't think he really had a clue as to what Andy was about.

It was said that Kaufman could not wait to be a "has been". Perhaps the only person in the history of entertainment to have such a desire. The dude was one of a kind!

Actually, as of this episode Latka did not yet suffer from multiple personality disorder because he was still aware that he was Latka playing Vic Ferrari. He hints at it at the end of the episode when Alex Reiger helps Latka drop the Vic speech pattern and mannerisms and then supposedly joking turns to Alex and says, "Allll right" in Vic's voice and then says, "I just kidding" in Latka's voice bur then looks ambiguously at Alex as to whether Latka has the mannerisms under control. It's on a later episode with Simka that it's revealed that Vic Ferrari has taken over Latka. Later he adopts other personalities like Harlow the cowboy, and takes over Alex's Reiger's personality much to Alex's frustration.

Read my lips, I am out man..Andy 💥

HEY MEL, YOU'VE GOT AN ANGEL WITH YA RIGHT NOW

i love that actor who pretends to read newspaper, so random

I can’t believe the hype or wonder on him, he knew what the fuck he was doing, played his cards perfectly, blows my mind that someone thinking outside the box and basically “ bull shitting” you has you all stumped. He was clever and it worked. Wake up.

You can see how Danny is almost cracking up at Andy's antics.

Wow great cast

Marilu was so beautiful!

RIP Jeff Conaway

Andy Kaufman was a genus

Wild. Scary wild. Hilarious. You never know who he really is for sure.

The guy really comes up with some great points

Marilu Henner was fire back in the day.

ANDY kaufman is the Man on The Moon REM

One my favorite comedy 😊

Hes acting just like nicholas Cage!! What the hey? 😎

The Rizzler himself

What great entertainment back then

We always press the refresh button so we dont have to watch the ads ...

2022 Rules forever 👍.

Andy Kaufman...a one man Monty Python Confuse-A-Cat

He is geat brilliant come back andy

Brilliant.

Brilliant. Like a peter Sellers in a tracksuit

Frank Reynolds has owned every type of business imaginable

Andy Kaufman was too amazing

Ralph Kramden casts a long shadow.

"Insane" is the only "Proper: way for Andy ,..

interesting how Devito completely disappears from this scene after he leaves at 1:08. He should be seen in the cage but he's noticeably absent.

I couldn’t figure this out when I was a kid.

I LOVE Vick Ferrari 💥👍

Crabs in bucket. I wonder if Andy did any writing on the show. I remember sitcoms being incredibly stupid , but this went pretty deep
