Andy was always so freaking weird...

andy was a talent-less freaking hack who had one heck of a marketing genius behind him.

The Taxi character 'Latka' with a team of writers behind him was good.

Everything else he ever did was a joke.

For a second I didn't think you understood him at all.

I strongly disagree with you. He made me laugh a lot. His bizarre antics are more than a little endearing to me.

Though I do agree with your statement that everything he did was a joke. That was the point, afterall.

Sorry, I still think he was popular because it was "cool" to think he was popular.

Sure some people such as yourself might have found him lip syncing to Mighty Mouse the epitome of humor. Humor, after all, is subjective.

However the talent level in creating a persona that wrestled women, taking an audience, in 20 buses, out for milk and cookies, pretending to find jesus, reading The Great Gatsby, etc, etc was non-existent.

He was not a funny man at all, imho. He was a performance artists and like lots of performance artists there was little talent and lots of bravery and marketing.

He was humorous and talented in the same way that some "artist" can record several minutes of silence and be labeled the creative genius of the century.

How some artist can eat a banana and throw the peelings in the trash and call it art and be labeled amazingly talented.

A large part of people liking him was because they were supposed to like him to be considered in the in crowd, to show how smart they are because "they get him".

If Bill Blaine from Topeka Kansas got on stage and did the exact same routine with the exact same level of talent, he would get no where and would never get any more gigs. Because it was Andy, people just sat back and labeled his inactions an example of genius.

Clinton News Network?

*slow sarcastic clap*

nice rhetoric dumb ass.

Tragically, this applies to most "popular" people. The thing with AK is that while you think he was a talentless hack is only because he was so good at doing what he did, which was to pretend to be a talentless hack. He had so many bits where the punchline was that the bit was a disaster. He wasn't telling you a funny joke to laugh at he was making himself look like such an ass you would laugh at him.
