My Breakfast with Blassie

In this improvised pseudo-documentary, we're invited to tag along as Andy Kaufman, right in the heart of his run as a pro wrestling heel, meets up with legendary grappler / manager "Classy" Freddie Blassie for a course of waffles and orange juice at a nondescript Los Angeles restaurant. Though the two couldn't be more dissimilar in terms of size, age, background and disposition, together they make for a riotously funny comic pairing, picking on everything from dating, personal hygiene, living conditions and travel over the course of their long, rambling mealtime conversation. Along the way, they alternately hit on and pick fights with the women seated behind them, belittle their foreign, pregnant waitress and complain about the design of the shop's menus. Kaufman even abruptly exits the shoot for a few minutes, leaving Blassie to blather on incessantly, like a crotchety old man with too much to say. Completely absurd and ridiculous, it's also one of the funniest things I've seen all month.
