One of the funniest skits in the history of television. There are few character pairings as hilarious as Mort and Exidor. R.I.P. Robin Williams and Robert Donner, a GREAT character actor.
One of the all-time best routines! I actually think it adds MORE layers of absurdity by knowing what happened to O.J. later. I'm so glad this has been posted here!!
this was 1 of the moments of my childhood I remember with great joy. My Dad(who taught Sunday School for ages 25+ for some 40 +yrs)would stop while this actor(Robert Donner)playing "Exidor" was on MM. He'd say with a warm and humorous tone : "This could happen to anyone who takes any religious study to serious." He would laugh really hard as Robert Donner captured the essence of what Dad said it ment to "Go to far" in an obsession of 1's "faith tradition". Dad would not admit to this fact but he was an "Intellectual". Hundreds of books w/ varying subjects from advanced math theory ,the sciences, geography , secular history , to world religions,etc filled walls and corners of our home. Dads been gone for years now but these old video clips give me the chance to laugh with Dad again . thx
Robert Donner is the real deal--do you have ANY idea how hard it is not to break character in front of a live audience, when you they're all laughing and you KNOW you're funny? That guy was stone-cold. I don't care how many times they shot it before they got it right--It would have been difficult every time.
My dad showed me this show when I was in 4th grade, in 2004. I thought this was the funniest thing ever. BUt I had no idea who OJ was. My dad explained why I couldn't repeat this joke. For what are now obvious reasons
Dang, I guess Exidor also encountered Akuma out in the Bay Area when he was selling citrus on the roadside for travel money in his early street fighting days and even got him to fashion it in a necklace like his. It puts Wrath of the Raging Demon in a whole new light! The Surge of the Juice Intent!
in the final season of Mork and Mindy, it was a shame that Exidor was in very few episodes. i definitely think his character was much more hilarious than Mearth. but the final season had some brutal episodes. i just got done watching the series on DVD.
If they knew then what they now know! Poor O.J. Simpson! A man with all life had to offer, later to be tried for murder, and marked for life. Shame all the way round.
That flop onto the bench at the end by Donner. What a scene.

And they're so good, they continue to entertain us..... 🙂
I remember this episode when it first aired. Bob Donner was probably the only person who could upstage Robin Williams.
I like how Mork isn't the strangest character in this show.
A residue of Sixties drug culture.
Watching Robin trying not to break and holding it in until that slap on the forehead is GOLD
One of the all-time best routines! I actually think it adds MORE layers of absurdity by knowing what happened to O.J. later. I'm so glad this has been posted here!!
HILARIOUS! With Robin Williams up there, the angels are probably laughing there wings off!
I think this is funnier now than when it first aired.
"Punch and Judyism!" Ha, ha, ha!
I guess you could say that Exidor worships a vengeful god.
LOVED Exidor!!!
The Church of OJ practices human sacrifice.
Exidor! Finally a prophet I'd be willing to follow.
I loved Exidor as a kid.
Somehow this scene aged horribly and perfectly at the same time.
He worshipped "The Juice"
Is that the same as "Drinking the Kool-Aid?
I guess all hindsight really is 20/20.
They work so well together.
Yep, there was a time when you thought of OJ, you thought about football, Hertz, maybe the Naked Gun movies, but not decapitation.

This certainly aged well.

God, they couldn't do that today. Wonder if Simpson ever saw this and what did he think?

as far as i'm concerned, modern context makes this joke 1000x funnier than it already was. Dude just can't choose winners
Exedor was one of my favorite characters
felt i had to watc this tonight ..both together in the sky now must be a laugh up there
@3:50 Praise Anita(Bryant)! LOL
Watching this episode in 2021 gives you the weirdest feeling 😅
Bob and Robin were great together and they had to be having in this scene as it was probably mostly improv.
This was actually pretty funny.
Robin Williams almost laughed there one time. I've never seen that before; that's very cool.
This was my favorite episode XD
You ever thought it was kind of strange that the guy Mork set free actually turned himself in.
+Powerranger6342 thanks for spoiling it for me by telling me what I already predicted from the start. anyway I think I already saw this episode
When Exidor came into a scene, it was ‘fun time’! That show had some great moments of comedy!
Dang, I guess Exidor also encountered Akuma out in the Bay Area when he was selling citrus on the roadside for travel money in his early street fighting days and even got him to fashion it in a necklace like his. It puts Wrath of the Raging Demon in a whole new light! The Surge of the Juice Intent!
The irony of this is that many people did follow the juice, blindly ignoring his murderous ways.
We actually weren't aware of them at the time
Little did he know what was to come...
He probably resented worshipping him, like a lot of us did.
Holy shit, I'm watching this episode right now. Damn son...
Tim Tebow would love this!
I’d start a sect called the church of Jim Brown
this is sacrilegious. Everybody in Chicago knows that the true faith is DA Bearssss!
Aren’t they in Colorado?
I remember this episode.
This is crazy. The Church of The Juice? Priceless. Truth is ALWAYS stranger than fiction, lol...
I’ve heard of a born-again Christian, but a born-again Simpson?
Football just a game, he must live in L.A.
This episode was killer.
Would Norm Macdonald be considered a blasphemer in this religion?
mork and mindy is on antenna tv right now
I saw OJ play when I was a kid. He could cut and slash better than anyone!
Robert Donner and Lloyd Bridges were so funny that it's a shame they didn't do much more comedy. There are probably others
This scene was just too funny!!
Worshipping a murderer.
Exidor was one of my favorite characters on this show.
0:29 Lol, look how far apart the bars are, you could slip right though
Bob and Robin worked together and they had to have fun during this scene as most of it was likely improvised.
Don't take golf lessons from him. You take lessons from a slicing expert you will slice the ball.
The Late, Great ones themselves!
At 5:55 That had to hurt!
I worship Elway!
PrincessWarsop, did you know the Earth is motionless and flat?
Ha, ha, ha!
Today it would be Tom Brady.
In Texas, Troy Aikman.
Let us pray
Hut...hut...hut
Well the OJ Simpson joke didn't hold up the test of time...
in the final season of Mork and Mindy, it was a shame that Exidor was in very few episodes. i definitely think his character was much more hilarious than Mearth. but the final season had some brutal episodes. i just got done watching the series on DVD.
Loved this
I didn't read the text under the video and actually gasped when he said who he worships. LOL That didn't age well did it?
Holy shit! I forgot all about this character.
this scene,.....add libbed.....that was the talent in comedy.....also substances must have helped!
Oh dear.
Worship OJ, that didn't age well. OOPSIE!
I said WTF about 50 times before I calm down
shasbat
If they knew then what they now know!
Poor O.J. Simpson! A man with all life had to offer, later to be tried for murder, and marked for life. Shame all the way round.
yes, poor OJ Simpson. and who cares about what's his name and what's her name.
well he did kill his wife or girlfriend
wfl19
No, he didn't.
they found the knife years later
wfl19
No, they didn't, whoever "they" would be.
I think the NFL is doing this
👍
This didnt age well lmao
RIP OJ Simpson
