Looks like he's permenantly gurning.

It's all in the delivery. I can make a normal sentence sound funny just by the way I say it. Lots of people can.

I didn't laugh at him in Insomnia - he kinda creeped me out.

All I know is his "live on broadway" HBO standup is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen.... seriously, check it out.

He is also a very kind man.
I think it goes something like, chosen or left with another man from a PA school or drama school etc.. who happened to be the late Christopher Reeve. They became very good friends and Robin Williams was helping him out with his medical bills towards the end of his life.. amongst other friendly gestures of course.

Great guy. Be a sorry world when he goes *Sighs*

Here's my one question:
How do you get crucifiction, ressurection, and then..
Chocolate bunnies, and colored eggs?
WILD STRETCH..
Even the kids are going:
'Rabits don't lay eggs,
Where are you going with this?
That's really a miracle if a rabbit passes an egg.'
...
But I want a saint, like Mother Theresa.
Pat Robertson said Mother Theresa's not a real Christian
(Why, cause she didn't have a university and a tax shelter? C'mon Pat)
Mother Theresa never had her on product line:
'Mother Theresa's Compassion -- "I smell because I care" -- Compassion'

Or Ghandi never had Ghandi jeans
'Whether you're telling the English to get out or not eating at all,
Ghandi jeans, come in size one and below..'
They said to Ghandi, 'Ghandi, gee, what do you think of Western Civilization'
and Ghandi said: 'I think it would be a great idea'
(Way to go Ghandi)

And I know.. as amazing as he was, there was probably some guy,
Sitting in a Bombay bar going..
'I knew Ghandi.. he was a prick..
I saw him sucking on a pork hotdog
Hitting on Mother Theresa
I saw that shit man
And if you don't believe me
I'll bitchslap your ass like Shiva, I'll be on you
EIGHT TIMES MY MAN, EIGHT TIMES..
Don't be pressing that thing on my forehead,
Don't be pressing my beady going 'Ding Dong'
F! off..

Because India has the atomic bomb now my friends..

he is awsome! U ever see the "Magic of Disney Animation" in Walt Disney World? he was the guest host, he was made into an animated "Lost Boy" how took you through a funny tour of the studio. (Back when Disney cartoons were good.) He played the part of a random tourist invited to learn about the making of animation.

I found Christopher Walken to have the ability more then robin.. Something about the way this guy talks.. Hillarious.

Robin Williams is genuinely funny though His stand up's really really dirty as well. Yeah insomnia was really creepy

Robin Williams has creeped me out ever since I saw him in Mork and Mindy... I mean he came out of an egg. I only ever liked Mrs. Doubtfire.

I liked one hour photo, and I like The Final Cut, and I liked most everything else he's ever done.

He's overrated. Watch Eddie Izzard and then watch Robin Williams after. He just comes off as tastless and pull low blows. He is funny though....just not that funny
