It is very sad.

 

Makes me wonder sometimes if he was tormented by the thing that made him famous.  He had one of the quickest minds in comedy as Teeray has mentioned.  Many folks with a mind that goes 100 mph, have troubles that the rest of us slow pokes never experience.  Sort of a two edged sword I think.

 

Anyway, RIP

This is the biggest celebrity death of my life time. There has been no other of greater influence than him that has passed away. I watched him as a kid and grew up with his work. I thought of him as like one of the grandfathers of comedy. And not only as a comedian/actor, but I liked him as a person as well. No other can match him.

We go at each other a lot but im with you 100% on this. This fuging sucks

This is very sad. I don't usually get that upset about celebrity deaths but growing up watching jumanji and hook and mrs doutfire he was hilarious. Then I got older and appreciated things like good morning Vietnam. He could do it all.

There has always been two interviews I never miss on tv. Robin Williams and Jim Carey. Craziest guys that always take over the show.

It's easy to look back now and say this but there always was an awkwardness and almost a forced feeling with his comedy. His eyes and facial expressions said more than his words.

Rest in peace Robin.

Back in '88, I was visiting family in NYC, & my aunt came in and asked if I would go to a show with her friend's daughter. I was a theatre geek so the fact that the girl was cute was a bonus. We went to see "Waiting for Gadot" starring Robin Williams & Steve Martin. (The play is about two guys waiting for this Gadot, & they can't do anything but wait til he gets there.) There were two moments in the show where they said fug the script & went improv. One happened when Robin & Steve just felt like it, one at the end of a monologue by Lucky (a slave played by Bill Irwin) that is the point of the play. The director wanted the distraction because so many people pompously insist on the play's meaning & few if any get it right according to the writer so he trolled the poo out of them.

The closest I can come to describing how awesome this show was is to imagine SCP talking about the morning poo he took after the Panthers win the Super Bowl in New Orleans & Al runs in to post about how since it was in the Super Dome there must've been Saints fans there, so they get partial credit, so the Panthers have a Super Bowl, but the saints have 1.2, then PhillyB makes a cartoon about the mental gymnastics Al needed for that, showing him doing parkour around NO, later revealing that Pat was actually stumbling down his block to Wendy's in a Ben & Jerry's haze to get a 4 triples with cheese, 4 biggie fries, & diet coke enema...
