[@TromaEntertainment]

Lloyd was high on cat tranquilizers, he meant Sumner Redstone, not Summer Meyerson.

[@wahmaster2788]

Lmao

[@guthax30]

I know I’m late but that reference is so god damned obscure. I need to do research to understand this joke. Be right back.

[@Pax_Mayn3]

Ketamine! YUM! Troma screams dissociative abuse. Maybe that's why i'm drawn to it, it gives the feeling of watching something in a dissociated state.

[@TromaEntertainment]

Thanks for sharing the Tromatic love! Give art back to the people!

[@5Detective]

Hell yeah. I'm a designer and artist, and I am all for people having access to objects as well as ideas. I love to create for the sake of creation. Sharing ideas and art feels good. If I didn't need money for bare bones stuff, I'd forgo it all together. Not sure if you're Lloyd Kaufman or someone else with Troma, but thanks for trying to get the word out about IP shenanigans.

[@BelowAveragePodcast]

Lloyd I loved this interview so much! Would love to see you start a podcast or something like that, you sound like a pretty smart guy. :)

[@5Detective]

Yes!

[@dead6080]

I had no idea that TromaMovies even existed before watching this interview but now I will have to watch all your films! Great interview!

[@repopig1433]

I hope you guys are at the next RTX I still want to me you sir kinda missed my chane at a wonder con sadly you were not there.

[@draphking]

I like how the video starts out as nonsense then turns into him destroying Disney, the Chinese, Hilary Clinton, the Oscars and Will Smith. Lloyd is a fucking savage

[@FireFlex13]

At first I thought he was just joking about that Chinese thing, then after 5 minutes of non stop chinese hating I started to doubt life and everything.

[@FalconsEye58094]

those will Smith words were ahead of their time

[@FlippySuper]

i love how this guy just fucks with adam

[@briansebor]

Does he or does he fuck with YOU

[@FlippySuper]

Brian Sebor lloyd kaufman fucks with everybody

[@Wagglezzz]

you must not know who Lloyd Kauffman is.

[@andrekirkman3402]

The guy's a trip, super nice. Met him once before when Return to Nuke Em High came to town. So awesome.

[@beaal5641]

He fucks with everyone he's hilarious.

[@imadetheurllonger]

"Disney and the other fascists" Jesus fucking Christ this man. This fucking man.

[@EdgeO419]

is he wrong tho

[@OdaSwifteye]

.........No....

[@imadetheurllonger]

Ensenga 666 Far from it. Hit the nail write on the fucking head in one casual conjunction.

[@adrianteron9330]

@@EdgeO419 his movies are gold , but isn't a person to take seriously

[@MegaMat_Show]

This man is a legend. Some day, all of his satirical films will be hailed as masterpieces.

[@la120899]

They already are XD at least in my household

[@TheThirdChild]

Cult classics

[@smellysocks3129]

[@dead6080]

They already are in my opinion haha

[@scoundrelneo913]

Dolphin Man is my hero.

[@TromaEntertainment]

Watch Dolphinman in his own short, "Dolphinman Battles The Sex Lobsters" on Troma Now (watch.troma.com)!

[@NatVid]

Hell yes!!!

[@xxXNASTYPANDAXxx]

+TromaMovies you are my hero

[@HoodoHoodlumsRevenge]

Heyyyyy dawg

[@rchetype7029]

Dolphin man is best man

[@PunksterOS]

I like his stance against Disney, especially when you consider he was in Guardians of the Galaxy.

[@PunksterOS]

Davis Navarro Sure, what is confusing you? Lloyd Kaufman was in Guardians of the Galaxy. It was a brief cameo but he is in there. As he gave James Gunn (director of GotG) his break or something like that. Disney owns Marvel, so Lloyd was in a Disney film.

[@PunksterOS]

Davis Navarro No problem. If I remember correctly the camera pans round to angry prisoner's faces, during them entering the prison scene and Lloyd is there in his yellow jumpsuit among them, screaming down at the new inmates. Yes it will be a little friendship thing, as well as Gunn respecting where he came from. Look out for it the next time you watch it.

[@greedo277]

i honestly didnt notice that though i did catch the slither worms and other things in the movie. Thanks for letting us know

[@PunksterOS]

Sassy Predator Aye mate, you're welcome.

[@greedo277]

Punkster Daddy Also red dwarf is the shit

[@ydin9]

Kaufman is one of those people whose work I can't say I 100% enjoy but man, is he cool and has his head in the right mindset and heart in the right place.

[@Armentitron]

Love Lloyd so much, he has such artistic integrity but also does not take himself seriously at all. Loves what he does and does it for the art.

[@marcdenham7607]

'will smith...he's a fuckin' uncle tom' damn thats funny also, notice he didn't cover that with 'in my opinion'

[@romulusnuma116]

He the best

[@DendyJungle]

in case theres any confusion: lloyd didnt use "fuck" as an adjective. He used it as a verb. "he is a-fucking uncle tom!".... uncle tom referring to tom cruise since will smith is a known scientologist.

[@Malicos]

In honor of this Lloyd Kaufman interview, I recommend you finish part 5 of a certain Charlie Kaufman film. Kaufman fever!

[@ionbarbueremia5225]

It's funny how he's interviewed two Kaufmans

[@theoisgod7201]

Now we just need an Andy Kaufman interview to finish the series

[@SanjuroSan]

I am 32, I liked Mel Brooks films growing up, that said, I had no idea how fucking badass and punk rock Mel Brooks is nor that he makes films under the name Kaufman nor his involvement with Troma films nor his views on fair use. Thank you Adam, this is one of my favorite interviews of all time now. Also, thank you for spreading knowledge on public domain and Disney's psychotic abuse of IP.

[@greenphlem]

I really hope you realize that's not Mel Brookes

[@SanjuroSan]

Nope, I actually thought he was. He really does look like him doesn't he. *copies and pastes everything I said about Mel Brooks onto Lloyd Kaufman*

[@CertifiedSadBoy]

lol

[@DrownedPirate]

I um. I also had to look it up to make sure he was joking...

[@avenger20sfancasts]

I love how dolphin man nods throughout until Kaufman starts talking about the Chinese he stops.

[@koberowland9798]

Gotta keep his social credit score high

[@joninosaka]

YES! I love how Lloyd is coming out and speaking truth about China and Disney. Preach on Lloyd!

[@brandonharrison7773]

I could listen to him talk for hours.

[@MrFahrenheit2k]

And that's why Lloyd Kaufman is where he is. "What's your favorite movie you've made?" "Oh, it's the recent one, it's gonna come out soon, it's really good, check it oooout!" The man excels at self promotion and he manages to be goofy and classy at the same time. Always a pleasure to watch and even learn from him. Good work, Adam.

[@MrFahrenheit2k]

***** Movies are business and if you're not taking every opportunity to promote, you're a bad businessman. There's no such thing as "shame" in PR. If you want your product to be out there, you will say that you like it even if you hate it. Leave conscience to independent artistic individuals, don't try to find it in a man who runs a studio.

[@MrFahrenheit2k]

***** And? That's not the same as being an independent artist with a conscience and being honest to your audience.

[@MrFahrenheit2k]

***** Because there are big artists who can be honest and small artists who can be liars and vice versa. The world is not black and white. I just gave you an example of a person who *can* be honest, doesn't mean all independent artists (especially people who run busineses) are honest. What's your point? You're trying to present my second comment as self contradictory when it really isn't.

[@MrFahrenheit2k]

***** Say, you want to create a product and then distribute it to as many people as possible. What are you going to say? "My product is kinda okay, it has some good sides and some bad sides... overall it's just alright if you're into this thing, also, personally I don't really like it..." - this will not sell you a lot of copies. So, what do you do to sell more? You say only positive things and try to hide negative things. Does that count as lying? Maybe. Is it that offensive, though? I don't think so. As long as it's not out right false advertisement I'm alright with that. And why do you instantly assume he's dishonest? Maybe it IS his favorite movie, you'll never know.

[@MrFahrenheit2k]

***** Can you provide actual arguments instead of snark? It's how it works, like it or not. Bottom line, in my first comment I admired him as a businessman, not an artist. Promotion was dishonest since the day money was invented. If you don't yell "mah tomatoes is the freshest tomatoes in da village" on the market, you will not beat the competition.

[@Glinko]

You had good questions prepared (maybe a couple extra spicy ones would be fine, too), Thank you for this interview, Adam. Lloyd is a lot of fun, and Troma movies are wonderful, i've been watching them for years.

[@tdx_1138]

Great interview. Lloyd is a great man. Doesn't even charge for autographs or pics.

[@awsmgyc]

Lloyd Kaufman is honestly one of my favorite people.

[@Dokwart]

Man, your videos are like the movies on your Best Of Lists. I never regretted watching a single one. This interview was particularly awesome. What a great guy to interview and you did very good!

[@meWASHER]

Congratulations on another awesome interview Adam. Mr. Kaufman is a personal hero of mine, and it's great to hear him speak so frankly on the current state of cinema.

[@benjamindlevin]

my one and only role model. Lloyd Kaufman. I've never looked up to any man before. the only amazing human left on earth.

[@playbois4736]

I'm going to try to watch all of this guys films now. Seems like a great guy who speaks his mind. Can't wait to see how he relays what is in his mind through his films.

[@Pax_Mayn3]

So how was it?

[@ActuallyDarcy]

"No one listens to Lloyd Kaufman. I've got, like, 6 fucking fans" has to be my favourite line from this interivew

[@guyhaines2974]

Lloyd Kaufman spitting surprisingly straight facts for a man who was involved with Poultrygeist

[@Telic]

Does he have any videos or audio clips of him expressing about his views? i really like to listen to him talk :D PEEING

[@Telic]

i learned so much just off of this. lol

[@stevenspielberg9198]

+Telic he's written a number of books on film and the film industry

[@JoseGarcia-rg3dx]

Check out Troma's KZbin channel, he has plenty of videos where he just speaks his opinions on the film industry, my favourite one is the video where he talks to Matt Stone and Trey Parker about Cannibal the Musical

[@morbidchid]

He's done plenty of interviews (a lot of which can be found on the Troma KZbin channels) and he has written plenty of books and essays (that can be found on Troma.com under Lloyd's Roids).

[@Telic]

morbidchid sweet :D thanks

[@madssaucexx5250]

If I wasn't already sad about not being at RTX I sure as hell am now, knowing that you were there.

[@TheApaura]

Kauffman is on point with just about EVERYTHING.

[@keepsakecube]

lloyd: goes off for 20 minutes adam: this is exactly what i wanted

[@FalconsEye58094]

that comment on Will Smith was ahead of its time

[@toomanywindows]

Thank you for this. We can all use more Kaufman in our lives.

[@roopertrooperviolencejack6281]

Adum has a great, stable, mix of both silly and intelligent stuff. Fuckin love you man

[@Tmanstext]

dude! it's so cool you got to interview him, congrats!

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

lol @ "a pride of wolves" XD I fuckin' love this sweet old fella. There are a lot of people I want to meet because of their art, but Lloyd Kaufman is that kind of person I want to meet based purely on his own personality. What I love most though is how fast he is able to process and reply to whatever input he's given. It's like he is a master of his own brain. Adam this interview has increased my already burgeoning interest in Troma, and I think I'll be seeing Poultrygeist soon.

[@dorpth]

"Will Smith. He's a fucking Uncle Tom." **interview immediately ends**

[@TheMadisonMachine]

This guy is great. I love him now.

[@TheMadisonMachine]

"Hillary, who is supported by Disney and the other fascists" I want a shirt with him on it.

[@TheMadisonMachine]

"(Will Smith) is a fucking Uncle Tom."

[@TheMadisonMachine]

pfft very funny.

[@redfox1366]

Lloyd Kaufman's a true legend. Really cool to see him on the channel.

[@RicoSalamander]

This guy should go on Drunken Peasants. I'd love to hear him talk like this for two and a half hours.

[@Tequilaqueen24]

I agree. Imagine him watching a Brett Keane video. priceless.

[@RicoSalamander]

God Hypothesis Lloyd Kaufman is lying scam artist indivijul that gets himself in paticlur situations.

[@Tequilaqueen24]

Or have Lloyd talk to Howard Bloom, then the show would never end lol.

[@RicoSalamander]

God Hypothesis Jesus fucking Christ, let's not stop there. Get those two, G-Time Johnny, Gail Chord-Schuler, Jim Ass, and Patrick Coleman on the same episode. The DP to End All DPs... because it would never fucking end. Also, they really need to get Adum on the show already.

[@Ph0bbe1]

What's the sitjuwation with this Dolphin individjul?

[@SuperViolaBros]

"Do you play video games?" "The Chinese needs to evolve into a democratic government." Funny how those things go down.

[@GeahkBurchill]

Man, Mel Brooks is awesome.

[@Holygiant]

Love you Lloyd, never stop making movies! Even in the grave!

[@MajorOddball]

Lloyd is so cool and friendly in person. You asked some really good questions as well. Great to hear his honest opinions on these subjects.

[@kokoloko8423]

I can't believe you really had the opportunity to meet and interview this amazing, inspiring person Adam, consider yourself lucky!

[@number4148]

Good to be Lloyd get Some love! I Love him and Troma!!

[@geekreport]

Lloyd Kaufman destroyed my childhood in such amazingly wonderful ways. Also Tromeo and Juliet might be Troma's best film to date. Terror Firmer a close second though.

[@NouveauArtPunk]

I met Lloyd a few years ago at Montreal Comic Con. I even got to film his panel. He was such a sweet guy. I hope I get to see him again.

[@Eon2641]

Adam this is the best goddamn interview I've ever seen, you're a fucking natural and you ask all the hard hitting questions. You might be in the wrong career! Edit: I'd never heard of Loyd Kaufman before but before this video was over I think I fell in love with him.

[@GooberGamer]

That was the funniest damn thing I've seen all day. It's so hard to tell if Kaufman is being serious or sarcastic most of the time.

[@prismer]

Interviewer and interviewee gold.

[@RockyGems]

I had no idea who this man was until just now and I feel like something was missing before!

[@hatednyc]

Met Mr. Kauffman a couple years ago on the 6 train at 96th street here in NYC - one of the nicest people in entertainment I have ever met.

[@mvnkycheez]

i almost thought that the china thing was a racist rant and then he said he studied them at Yale and "they're a horrible Governmemt" lol so he was on about their leaders/business elite. He has such a great outlook on just about everything

[@mvnkycheez]

"even though i'm a self-hating jew" HAHA OMG

[@TheHashSmokingStoner]

when communist china started out, they had a good chance of becoming a fair society, but now they have gone back to being crony capitalists and imperialists. no wonder why the USA loves china...I consider myself a socialist of a marxist persuasion, and I absolutely hate the chinese government..

[@Alex-so2hz]

Wow, you're great at landing interviews with people with the surname Kaufman.

[@a_yanki]

Ahhh thank you so much for this! Lloyd's a smart cookie and I think you brought some good questions that he liked and got to rant on.

[@warneverchanges709]

I watched Suicide after watching this a few weeks back and I must saw, Lloyd is not lying. I will never forget that film.

[@sanitorz232]

“I’ve got like six fans” Lloyd Kaufman everybody

[@melonangie]

discover and became troma fan just for this. Thanks Adam!

[@bread406]

i like everything about this video and everyone in it. thank you for introducing me to this great man and his dolphin friend.

[@WMan37]

This is the first time I've even heard of Lloyd Kaufman; He's on some other level, I legitimately can't tell if this guy is absolutely genius or absolutely crazy, I love it.

[@grkpektis]

Great interview, I love seeing Lloyd at cons he's always nice and hilarious

[@michiganjack1337]

Lloyd Kaufman what a stand up guy. I just signed up to Troma Now. There are so many movies, it's great!

[@nothingtoseehere3919]

AVGN BEING MENTIONED IN A YMS VIDEO?! my life is complete

[@satanicdude]

Holy shit, what did I just watch ? :D Never heard of LLoyd Kaufman before, very fun person.

[@bennytroung]

American hero.

[@jamescoppolino9144]

Benny Troung you're an American hero

[@Lm0956]

"I've got like 6 fans" holy shit this guy's hilarious

[@CaptainPeeners]

Lloyd is really insightful, especially loved some of his other interviews.

[@rangerelivsoup1637]

It's so interesting to see Dolphin-man's reactions to these very interesting points. Interesting

[@finncorbett5742]

Holy shit! I stopped by that exact booth, can't believe I missed you

[@karenm6968]

My arm hurts just seeing Lloyd put his arm out for a long time 😩

Didnt know that Lloyd Kaufman was THAT aweseome

[@KnightCrown]

This guy sure have some awesome oneliners to the end of all qns

[@LewisLetsPlay]

haha very nice to see this kind of content on here, really broad. Bit of a weird tangent about the Chinese though, in actual fact made me want to go and read more about it... maybe over on Lloyd's channel...

[@shahiranzaman2259]

That's the Koffman experience

[@madssaucexx5250]

Lloyd... Lloyd I love you so much.

[@DarkMistyDay]

He is the nicest celeb I've ever met. He smelled like candy, too

[@GumshoeGamer]

He seems like a guy I wouldn't mind interviewing myself :) Great video LOVED IT

[@zachclark3519]

It's funny how this is your 2nd interview with a Kaufman

[@Dominick_Calvitto.]

I Was The 13 Year old Boy that got his head Squashed from a Wheel of an Automobile..

[@Dominick_Calvitto.]

Lloyd is Such a Great Guy Smart as a Whip. He's The Inspiration for me that's why i'm in Pre-Production with a Film i'm Making ( Project #2 ) Grabbed onto Lloyd's Coat Tails.. You Can Learn a Ton of Movie making Techniques Couldn't be Anymore Proud to have Mr Kaufman as a Close Friend i loved Playing " Skippy " in The Toxic Avenger i would do it Again in a Minute.

[@rachelracanelli6410]

This man is honesty incarnate, I like him.

[@DendyJungle]

any interview that ends with "will smith... he's a fuckin uncle tom!" is definitely memorable

[@pprophet]

I love how the dolphin dude is just chillin

[@clorox1676]

Very interesting interview, Adam. I hope you make more in the future!

[@TheCamCrawford]

Kaufman with all the subtle jokes. My god I can't stop laughing.

[@koquarian]

Don't worry, Lloyd. I'm a fan. Much love.

[@Baconing-Again]

Troma films rules! Lloyd Kaufman is the man!

[@jakeconner5666]

Lloyd Kaufman is such an eccentric character but he made some surprisingly insightful and knowledgeable points, particularly during the discussion on fair use. This would not be something to figure based on films like Poultrygeist. Keep doing interviews, Adam, because they are excellent.

[@BerMaster5000]

I met him at Comic-Con in Portugal and he's incredibly nice.

[@Pollix780]

This guy is something else, props to him
