Latka Gravas: Annoying or Funny? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Adamantium · 05-12-2003, 09:37 PM

I'm just curious to know if most people here think Latka is funny or just annoying.

The same question can be asked about Jim Ignatowski.

Chocoholic · 05-12-2003, 10:12 PM

I like Latka. He's sweet.

Reverend Jim is the best!

Brian · 05-12-2003, 10:44 PM

I love Latka. Andy Kaufman rocks!

*PinkLady* · 05-13-2003, 12:53 PM

Funny at times, but mostly annoying. Same for Jim.

*Melissa* · 05-13-2003, 02:51 PM

I thought they were both funny...especially Jim.

Brian Damage · 05-26-2003, 01:59 PM

I thought that Latka was great!

hoosierelvisfan · 04-06-2004, 06:39 AM

. . . . Latka was great UNTIL Latka turned into his alter ego, "Mr. Cool" or whatever it was. Why did they bring that aspect into the show????? Was that Andy Kaufman's idea???? I can only imagine that it was. For me, it ruined the show. Now THAT aspect was annoying.

You're thinking of Vic Ferrari and yeah that was annoying.

snl75 · 09-28-2004, 02:14 AM

Funny. (both)

Mads Andersen · 10-28-2004, 10:15 AM

I love Latka and I remember liking his alter egos - at one point
he turned into Alex Rieger, which had me floored at all times.

He's one of those charecters that gave Taxi an odd twist that,
to me, has yet to be seen anywhere else.

vashti1999 · 10-28-2004, 02:23 PM

I love Latka, always loved seeing that character and hearing him speak. As Latka, he wasn't annoying at all. As Vic Ferrari...well, that's a different story.

dlemond · 10-28-2004, 02:35 PM

Loved Latka.

Simka? That is another story.

Spats · 02-18-2005, 03:49 PM

Andy should have received an emmy for those alter ego episodes. He was amazing in those.
