As a kid I didn't get him. After growing up and seeing his skits on SNL reruns and other specials I find myself laughing my ass off. My favorite is the Mighty Mouse skit he did on SNL. He put the audience in an uncomfortable position of not knowing what the hell he was doing. He turned the audience into the joke for the viewers.

You have to understand what performance art was all about back then. Even the "Samari Warrior" skits were stolen from a street artist in Soho. It was obtuse, uncomfortable, but his intention was to get a response and make them memorable.
I thought he was funny as hell. The whole schtick was multilayered parody.
