Andy Kaufman is credited with introducing the public to anti-comedy, or comedy with a lack of a punchline that is within itself a punchline. He would have certain bits purposefully fall flat or bomb on stage, just to make the next joke that much more impressive. The audience got annoyed, but Andy always thought comedy was more for the comedian's enjoyment than the consumer.
