Elvis himself said Andy was amazing and by far the best he had ever seen doing him. He was very flattered and had nothing but great things to say about Andy. So sad we lost them both way to soon.

You guys have to understand this was Andy's act for the early part of his career. He spent hours and hours getting the Elvis down to that-- which your grandparents would say was spot on. When he did this in most venues as foreign man doing "poor impressions" it would completely bomb. In the act, he would do more than two bad ones to the point where people just thought he sucked and they paid to get in. And then he did this spot-on Elvis and blew people's minds, which is what Kaufman was all about.

@cakins19866 жыл бұрын
It's an absolutely brilliant premise for a joke, and incredibly ballsy because it requires A) making the audience incredibly uncomfortable while intentionally bombing as "Foreign Man," but not losing them too much, and B) following up those intentionally horrible impressions with an absolutely showstopping impression. In fact, an impression wouldn't have cut it--it had to be a full-on song and dance number from an icon like Elvis, and it had to be played straight and damn near perfectly to work. Look at some of the Elvis impersonators of today--they still don't have it down quite as well as Andy did, and Elvis was still alive at this point!

Glad you liked it. Unfortunately, this classic clip of Andy doing Elvis is woefully diminished by those who post this clip with Andy ONLY doing Elvis and not the entire clip of which precedes the Elvis act that is key to the entire genius of this clip. *Most clips on You Tube of Andy Kaufman doing Elvis Presley to near perfect impersonation, just don't get it.* _They'll only show him doing Elvis._ But in reality, you must watch the entire clip, the full act to really appreciate the genius of his Elvis act. The full act includes two purposefully terrible impersonations that precede the Elvis act. First of which is of Carol O'Connor of "All in the Family" getting into his 'Meathead diatribe' against his son-in-law, Michael, and doing an embarrassingly terrible job of it in his high-pitched accented voice. He then tells the audience his next impersonation would be of Ed McMahon, which he again does in his high-pitched accented embarrassingly terrible approach. So, now Andy has the audience all primed up, expectation nil, not to at all expect anything worth seeing upon announcing his next act to be an impersonation of Elvis. The audience, after watching two wilted impersonations is by now inured to any claim of a genuine, right-on impersonation. He then continues to play with he audience by turning around and donning his Elvis costume. By then he turns around and does a tour-de-force, knocked out of the ballpark of Elvis like no one has ever seen before. The first two impersonations are necessary to see in order to lower any expectations by the audience and thus raise the audience's shock and delight when he does do his Elvis so right-on perfectly. But most clips won't show the drama of the entire clip that makes this the classic it is.

Goctagon Andy was good but a true Elvis fan would never saw spot on. We have listened to Elvis all our lives and can hear the difference. Andy did a great job though

I loved Andy Kaufman. He was unique and extremely talented. I laughed at every episode of Taxi he was in and will always appreciate his gift he shared with all of us. May you be hanging out with Elvis and having a blast, Andy!

I did this bit for a talent show when I was in the sixth grade. Nobody understood that I wasn't imitating Elvis, I was imitating Andy Kaufman. I did the same patter, including the part about a song he did in 1927. Kaufman was the most original comedic talent ever, I think. His whole life was like a stage performance.

He said he loved the impersonation! Not that it was his favorite! But that's only because, people weren't really impersonating him at that time! It wasnt til after he died,that Elvis impersonating became a thing!

Great video,thanks:)I'm actually very impressed with Jim Carey's performance after seeing that. I think he introduced the name and legacy of Andy Kaufman to the rest of the world and to the generations who weren't lucky enough to see him perform in the 70's.

Kaufman had insane talent. He just "got" Elvis, you know? His impersonation was more than imitative. The moves alone, the dancing, so intricate. The singing wasn't an exact copy, but once again captured the essence of Elvis. The attitude, that quasi arrogant shuffle, the by-product of 20+ years of Elvismania, Andy nailed it. This is more than parody, even though Kaufman is ruthless in that parody. REM summed it up with "Andy are you goofing on Elvis?" They put Andy Kaufman into the ranks of the immotals, alongside the King himself.
