This clip is from the tribute show to Prince Charles 60th birthday, We Are not Amused, well worth downloading the whole thing (UKNova) but Robin Williams on Obama is brilliant!

I saw him do this set on TV I thought he was an arrogant wanker tbh. Talk about look at me I'm the star

That is the FUNNIEST thing I've seen in ages! Perfect ... Robin Williams is the best!

You made my weekend !

Steerpike

Huh? Did you have a sense-of-humor-ectomy at some point? How can you NOT find this funny?!?

Thydney

There were a lot funnier than him there. Never been a fan tbh always thought he over eggs everything

Triumphrob

That was great. He is one of the few American comdiens that are funny

Agree with you Thyd. I can listen to him for a while then I always think he just gets really silly


I think the best thing I have ever seen him do was the serious role he had in One Hour Photo. He was a very good creepy/pervy character

Ge was really funny on Graham Norton's show. Did anyone see Ricky Gervais show on HBO?

another bloody yank

Robin Williams is not funny. Too damn hyper.

Janek66

Now I think about it, it was Norton I was laughing at.

I can't stand him in chat shows or stand-up either. Look at me I'm manic whacky and zany with lot's of annoying voices, that shit is so overplayed since Mork & Mindy 30 years ago, he just irritates me now.

Some of his serious roles are okay, The 'Night listener' was another good one along with 'One hour photo'.

.............and to top it off they had that annoying twat John Cleese introducing. I can't stand him either, he just plays the condescending upper class Englishman in every role since he did anything worth watching. That was Fawlty Towers which was also 30 years ago.

I find him 'too much' in large doses, but once in a while, a short blast is pretty good - like the subject routine here - about 8 minutes of mile-a-minute delivery. His 'annoying voices' were actually pretty good impersonations. He managed to deliver a 20 minute routine in that 8 minute blast ...
