I think he is the funniest man alive...whenever I watch "Live on Broadway" I laugh so freakin hard.

This part makes me laugh especially hard:

"I know there's a cure for bio terrorism or whatever it is, and I know it lies within Keith Richards. He is the only man on the planet who can go "Anthrax? All RIGHT... This'll go great with my e-coli" Keith is the only man who can make the Osbornes look fucking Amish.
We will all be dead and gone, but Keith will still be there with five cockroaches. He'll be going, "I smoked your uncle, did ya know that? Fucking crazy..."'

He's a great comedy actor but he has also done some amazing parts in more "serious" movies like Insomnia.

Yeah, he's fantastic in Insomnia.

I also like him in Death to Smoochy and One Hour Photo. He's became good at performing guys who are a little off their rocker.

I saw this Robin Williams movie where he plays all these different roles of people throughout history, a barbarian, a Roman slave, a wealthy Renaissance sailor, a middle class American dad. It was pretty good.

Robin Williams's 'Scotsman and Golf' is fookin' hilarious.

"Oh, I'll invent a sport like golf, where ye knock a ball into a gopher hole... Oh, like pool? AW NO. And I'll put a stick in the hole--Like croquet? FUCK CROQUET!"

I found the mp3 on his official site a while back. It might still be there.

I agree. He's great in those. And I don't care what anyone says, but Death To Smoochy is one of my favorite movies.

Robin Williams is hilarious of course.

I wasn't a huge fan of Insomnia, but I thought he was amazing in Awakenings.

I love Robin Williams!!!! I think he's one of the funniest comedians/actors around. I used to watch him in "Mork & Mindy." (LOL!) Remember that show? "Na-nu, Na-nu"

Is "Insomnia" the movie with Robin and Al Pacino?

Great actor
Average comedian

He just does not make me laugh at all. He was also in the 2nd worst movie of all time. TOYS

My favs- Goodwill Hunting, What Dreams may Come, the Birdcage.

I enjoy him in serious more than comedy.

I liked his performance in Good Will Hunting the first time I saw it - in Dead Poets Society.

Yes, you must get it! I bought it when I first caved and bought a DVD player, and I was holding my gut the entire time. I couldn't remember laughing that hard before, that uncontrollably too. I also put that on way too much, and nearly have the whole thing memorized. You have to watch the end of it. It's all physical so I can't quote it, and you don't receive half the appeal reading it as you do watching Robin dancing around the stage spitting out each word. But I was just hysterical with laughter, and it was a great way to end the show.

I loved the whole Koko the gorilla bit. "When a gorilla's got you by the tits; you listen!" He was talking about how he went to the zoo and he went to a gorilla's cage, and the gorilla told her attendant that she wanted Robin to lift his shirt, and then she grabbed both of his nipples. And when she starts to take him to another part of her cage, Robin's thinking about how the Crocodile Hunter would be like, "Crike! She's going to fuck his brains out!" and Robin then says, "Could be fun. Would make an interesting story for a bar." I love how he says it too, you have to watch him. He's so amazing to watch doing his crazy thing!

Thanks for this thread! He's one of my very favorite comedians.
