>I don't imagine we do have such a different sense of humour, just a different sense of the absurd. The reason why I started this thread was because the American comedy psyche, that engendered the likes of Kaufman, seemed to be so different from ours back then, and I wanted to see just if you guys actually found him funny.

I did answer earlier, but I found some of what Kaufman did hilarious. The wrestling stuff, not at all, though.

>And, if not, how did get were he got to? We are much closer now, with the likes of Steve Wright vs Eddie Izzard, for example.

Eddie Izzard is great. Our kids introduced us to that. He reminds me a lot of Monty Python kind of stuff.
