- I DO NOT OWN. Clip from 'Good Morning, Vietnam' (1987), uploaded for my July 21-August 31 tribute to Robin Williams on Twitter/Facebook (#CelebratingRobinWilliams). I own no part of this video. All rights belong to Disney/Touchstone. No copyright infringement intended.
"Robin filmed so much footage, we could make 5 movies. But because he couldn't hear us laughing one room over. He thought he sucked and you can see him sweating more and more worried he blew it. Only when he came in and saw us unable to speek, on the floor rolling, did he realize we had a hit"
Seeing the guy falling over in the window next to him is a nod to this
I wish we could see these vids :(((
Did the same when he did the Genie in Alladin, they had HOURS of footage and lines, and they where just dying of laughter in the booth
OMG, I never read this before. This is awesome.
@@Mugthraka It was the same way with Mork & Mindy, especially when Jonathan Winters was on the set with Robin. There are countless hours of cut footage of the two of them improving on the set.
Robin...RIP
What a great man, great talent great mind.
You are very missed even now years after your passing
Imagine buying Call of Duty: Cold War. Your playing a mission in Vietnam, you turn on a radio and hear this...
That would be amazing!
I need that in the game
Because he does a impression of the guy from the Twilight Zone, I read what you said in his voice.
As a Vietnamese, I would love to hear this broadcast when I finally play the game for myself.
@@edh8900 Well there you have it. Activision, You BETTER HAVE IT IN THERE
All adlibbed, no scripting. Robert Wuhl in the background was dying, and he's a comedian.
That was the thing about working with Robin Williams, you never knew what the hell he was going to say or do next. Most of his lines as the Genie in "Aladdin" were also improv on his part. The animators had to re-animate part of the sequence because he went off-script so much, and finally the studio let him record his part and THEN they did the animation to match the recording.
@@traveller4790 True...
...but Will Smith is black.
@@rationalmuscle So is Forest Whittaker. Your point? They all have won Oscars.
Seriously? It was impressive when I thought it was just a prefect delivery. That's mind blowing
@@KristineMaitland He's talking about the shitty Aladdin remake with Will Smith I think.
“It’s gunna be hot and wet. that’s nice if you’re with a lady, but it’s no good if you’re in a jungle”
Pure poetry
Very much so
Or in the desert.
"D. Roosevelt, D Roosevelt...what it was, what it is, what it shall be. I tell you this: Weather today will be *hot* and *shitty*. Tomorrow, continuing *hot and shitty* with a pissy weather front coming down from the North."
More like poor poetry
Lmao yeah
That was my alarm all through highschool, "GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAAAAAAMMMM!
Yessssss
You just gave me the idea, thank you
It still is my alarm lol
@@rpmbadass88 You need to change it from time to time, otherwise it stops working :p
I was morning announcements in my high school for a short time and I did what he did to make things fun but the principal didn't appreciate the fun so I was taken off and it became boring again.
The genius of Robin Williams. Everything he did on camera as a DJ was ad libbed. I could watch this every day. Just brilliant. He passed away too soon. 😰
Was it really ad-libbed?
@@guitarofdestiny apparently so. His comic brain was so quick
@@petergreen2552 that's awesome. Yeah, he worked on an entirely different level, that's for sure.
Yes it was adlibbed. If you're clever enough like me youll find it on yt
this isn’t super related, but the beginning of Aladdin when he’s trying to sell his wares was also ad libbled, and the bit where it’s like ‘it’s a combination hooka coffee pot, it will not break, it will not break, it broke’ was actually the thing falling apart after he picked it up
Robin was an incredible impersonator. He could have done nothing but that if he'd wanted to.
You do know he was an actor, right? (just asking)
@@TH-camCFO as if every actor can do impersonations
@@Linkinator01 -- some are better than others - and SOME can act ANYWAY _they_ want!
:p
"Those pilots really like the music." As hes sped up talking. Lmao all those pilots were on stimulants and amphetamines.
austin g really?
That would be kind of fucked up to be under the influence while flying an airplane
@@Doinksinamish820 Amphetamines was fairly popular for pilots during WW2, Korea and Vietnam.
They were issued in rations. I collect them, and they were in various air force and army rations leading right up to Vietnam. I happen to own some 12 tabs of 1960-vintage USAF-issue dextroamphetamine.
Pilots still use amphetamines they're called go pills
I did two tours in 'Nam and got here in early '66 when Adrian Cronaur was live on AFVN doing this schtick. We all had a blast listening to our transistor radios back then.
Thanks brother. I got to the A Shau in late 68. Served 3 tours. Yeah, the music helped. Welcome back to the world.
From a foreigner, thank you both for your service
@@warrencaudle4378 three tours? what made you want to keep coming back for more, if you don't mind me asking?
@@judyhopps9380 I am not the person you asked. However, I deployed 4 times to Iraq, for a total of a bit more than 5 years in theater.
Partly because I have no close family, so, better me than another soldier with a wife and kids.
Partly because I was a very well prepared soldier. My fellow NCOs contributed to other soldiers coming back home alive.
Perhaps it would be better if I were a doctor or nurse. I am not, but I do have a "gift" that helps keep others alive. I felt compelled to volunteer to do what I do well.
@@paladinsix9285 Well I'm English, not American, but thank you massively for what you've done *hug*
If I’m right, most of this is improvised...Robert Wuhl and Forest Whitaker’s reactions...well...priceless ❤️
I have to agree with you on that....even the best writer in the world would never be able to script any of that...never....
If what I heard was correct, there were hours and hours of clips of him in the studio.. Cutting room floor would have looked like a ball pit
Martin Ironfoot everything was improvised during the broadcast scenes by Robin Williams himself.
Robert Wuhl u mean *Robin Williams

"Picture a man, going on a journey beyond sight and sound; he's left creeped. He's entered *_The_* *_Demilitarized_* *_Zone_* " lmao'd
Crete
He’s left Crete
Maybe he felt creeped about leaving Crete?
Crete, it is a small island off the coast of Greece. Williams' character was stationed there before being transferred at the request of a general(I believe) to Vietnam
I don’t get the Crete reference.
I just got the guy in orange robes burst into flames joke. That’s dark.
But hilarious
I don’t get it
@@izaneo4296 Look up "Thich Quang Duc", Buddhist monk who set himself on fire to protest the Vietnam war
Edit: It was specifically the persecution of his fellow Buddhists by the Viet Cong during the war
Izaneo en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_crisis give this a look over.
@@zachrichard9440 It was not the Vietcong but the South Vietnamese dictatorship of Ngô Đình Diệm which had a pro catholic/anti buddhist policy. Buddhist protest against this policy were put down harshly and the monks prosecuted. One of the reasons of the coup against and assassination of Diệm. And why the US government did not mind the coup much as Diệm did not want to make concession to the Buddhists.
this is why Will Smith playing the Genie has everyone so upset. even he can't keep up with this legend. RIP
"Even he"? What is that supposed to mean? as if Smith is like the super talent of our times but even he can't compare with Robin? Give me a break..
I've no intention of watching Will Smith yet again play Will Smith pretending to be the Genie. That movie has failure written all over it.
I have no problem with Will Smith playing the Genie, but I’m not going to see the movie because the rest of the movie doesn’t look interesting at all
Taken into account, and blown away, Robin is on another Level, its not even funny.
@@notquitemytempo1353 yeah? he's very talented. you're saying he's not? you must be too young to even remember Robin Williams. Robin was on a different level. you're very aggressive.
@@TardRepellent You completely misunderstood my comment. It wasn't negative about Robin in any way. On the contrary.
If anything, it was negative about Will Smith.
I think every soldier drafted into the Vietnam War deserved to be stationed in Poontang.
Even girl soldiers? That would been kind of awkward LOL
Im sure they were getting lots....consent or not
@@TH-camCFO there weren't any
@@flyde6521 Lol, I have a mom and grandma, what do you mean? Last I checked, if there were no girls... we wouldn't exist!
@@TH-camCFO girl...... _soldiers_
GIRL ...... *SOLDIERS*
We didn't lose one person when Robin died...
We lost hundreds.
Ditto dude thanks Robin Williams for your journey 🙏
Billions
@@brandond73 Yeah, ecause you've really thought about what goes through their heads for years, even decades before, with NO help, the struggle I am having at the moment with that exact part, the people it fucks up after you've topped yourself, I've been dealing with those thoughts & feelings for a few years now.
I have the utmost respect for the man, having made a life of helping free people from thei concerns, all the while underneath, like nails on a black board, & did I mention the isolation in them & the sheer lack of understanding anyone speaking to you even has for it, just fuck me wow, that comment to what Benjamin said, you've got issues bud, just thought I'd tell you, I hope you never have to experience anything like, in your cushty little skull.
The irony of how selfish your comment is is off the scale
His joy lives on in our hearts, & that's one of the thing's he wanted
WE LOST GENIE!
This scene's already great, but serious props to the dedication by both the writing and Williams' acting to sell the idea that he's really doing this in '65. When he's pulling out such era-specific zingers like "The Wicked Witch of the North, Hanoi Hannah!" and "It's so damn hot, I saw this little guy with an orange robe burst into flame!" so damn quickly, it feels so authentic that it's like there's no separation of time from when the movie was made (1987) to when it's supposed to take place (1965).
This scene was actually improv!
A treasure of comedy. Robin Williams adlibbed all of this. Who the hell could do that now? No one. One of a kind and a tragedy of genius. RIP.
I can remember this back in the eighties, we weren’t Americans, but Robin transcended culture boundaries.
The whole cinema just cracked up.
And this was an Irish cinema, the most budgrugery bunch of f*cks you’d ever find.
RIP Robin, your wit and talent gave joy to the world.
Geez, you have such a low opinion of your own people. I dont know what part of Ireland you're from, but I can tell you, we have a great sense of humour in the country even if we like a bit of moan
I always lose it when he says Freddie is the Devil and he throws the record.
_Yeet_ that record
I love the delicate intro music followed immediate by Gooood Morrnnning Vietnam
Love how Forest Whitaker is really fighting to keep his composure, and the guy in the white shirt in the other booth doesn't even bother and is just losing it.
The world became less funny when he died. RIP Robin Williams, you are so greatly missed.
No-one will top Robin
He was the only actor I honestly cried for when I found out he died. He's responsible for so many good memories in my child hood RIP Rob love you buddy.
I still remember watching this in the theatre when I was a kid and I couldn’t believe he could pull all those voices and characters out of his head...
- R.I.P., Mr. Williams
I'm having a hard day, I mean the type that makes you want to give up. Watching this drew that awful feeling right out of me, left me smiling. I miss him.
You can tell even all the actors around him were just amazed by what they were witnessing. Robin you are a legend.
All in one take. All out of his freaking genius. The guy is a legend!!
The amazing thing is that Robin Williams could do this at the drop of a hat, and could continue for hours. He was interviewed on "Inside the Actor's Studio" and kept going with stuff like this for two hours after they had finished filming. One woman had to be taken to the hospital because she laughed so hard for so long.
Robin Williams was a blessing! Thank you Robin for bringing us so much joy!
One of the best improv comedians of all time robin williams you will be missed you are a legend.....
Everybody thinks of his comedy, but he was a damn good actor, period. He could make you cry just as easily as he could make you laugh.
Robin Williams was one of the greatest ever.
1000 % 👍
Robin Williams is a legend, thanks so much for his many years of amazing entertainment. May his soul get whatever he desires.
Comic genius and best American Scottish accent in history. RIP.
He could not 100% carry a plot-driven film like this just on his schtick! Nobody can!
Sad to see the main actors Robin Williams, Bruno Kirby and J T Walsh are no longer with us. *RIP*
The other actors were genuinely convulsed with laughter !
Wrong!
@@TH-camCFO Well, Robin actually improvised all of these boys and they we're
@@sullivanwilson6665 Wtf, he improvised that? I thought only women could be improvised. (I was premature)
@@TH-camCFO* Lines lol
To the GREATEST comedic genius of all time! Thank you so much, Mr. Robin Williams!
If Robin William only had a podcast :(
If you imagine, it'll come true!
I imagine he's dead! Welp, would you look at that! He's dead!
(rest in peace)
Joe rogan would be the guest
I remember being a nerdy teen, sore as heck from Gym class, with my abdominal muscles cursing me. Went to this movie and nearly split myself in half, laughing so hard and it was painful but awesome!
The wizard of Oz bit probably funniest bit ever
Oh weh oh Hoooo Chi Mihn
"Follow the Ho Chi Min trail... Follow the Ho Chi Min trail"
Oh I’ll get you my pretty!
IT'S HANOI HANNAH
@@benc.1197 Little GI! You and your little Tunoo too hahaha!
I am so grateful to have enjoyed Robin's career as it unfolded. I've laughed until I cried watching him and still marvel at his talent and creativity. May he ever be at peace and know the love we all have for him.
"It's 0600! What's the 'O' stand for? "Oh my God it's early!"
Such a gift. Thank you, Robin! 🙏 ❤
Got to see the real guy in person when my town did a tribute to Vietnam vets! He is truly hilarious. Robin Williams did him good!
I bought the cassette for this movie back when it was released, great selection of songs, to a great movie, with one of the greatest actor/comedian ever to walk this earth.
0:46, "who gave anyone permission to program modern music?", lol
Even back in those days, the military was very much into "our way or the highway", even regarding entertainment. The soldiers were expected to be human drones, thinking and feeling only what the top brass ordered them to.
Someone did
Considering much of the modern rock music of the time was in protest of the war, it made sense why they chose to censor it.
@@alixvandurand Thats true. Whenever I heard video games and movies play most of the rock songs on the background I realized these aren't even the ones GI's listened to because the armed forces radio did not play them.
There will never be another as good as Robin
Man his talent knew no bounds. I've been a fan of his for years and regret never getting to see him live doing stand up.
My dad had the "good morning vietnam" soundtrack cd. I haven't heard it in awhile but I can tell you right now I could probably repeat the whole thing word for word, all of his little skits, then know the exact song that would play next. We would play it every single year we took a road trip down to florida. Blasting all of the classics on that cd on the beach in Daytona. Great times and I will never forget those moments.
If only he knew now how much we all miss him. Unmatched man and entertainer.
YOU JUST CROSSED OVER TO........ THE DEMILITARIZED ZONE! HAHAHA RIP Robin Williams great soul
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA rest in peace.
Robin Williams. Rest in peace. The great ones always seem to go too soon. Rest easy sir, and thank you for all the laughs And greatness you gave us though the big screen.
Admit it. We all thought our right airpod was broke
Robin Williams was so awesome and original. He's definitely missed
As a certified Viet, I am glad to have been good morninged by the late Robin Williams in such a passionate fashion
#RobinWilliams will never know the joy he brought this world!!!!! I miss you #RobinWilliams take care of my mum and my big brother for me
I LOVE it when Robin asks “Too much?” At the end of his broadcast!!!
3:00 the reaction of the guy in the back makes everything better XD
This man was and is still amazing!
A unique Human being, sorely missed!. Even though I know all the lines, still makes me laugh, no matter how many times I watch this movie!. Thanks Robin for this and everything else you gave us!. RIP. Nuff said.
Years after his death and I'm still mourning the genius we lost.
Still brings tears to my eyes. This one movie was when I met two great men my dad (I was adopted, he was the first to show it to me... the movie) and Robin Williams, I never saw my dad laugh like he did when watching this.. and now both are gone 😭
We’ve entered.. the demilitarized zone..
*AHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
How is this the first time that I've gotten the joke about the man in the orange robe bursting into flames hahaha
i didnt realize it was a joke til i read your comment, now i get it lolol
To people who don't get the reference, it's about a monk who set himself on fire as a protest to political decisions in South Vietnam in 1963.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_crisis
Me too! I am dying.
ASaxonAtHeart so did the dude in the robe
Sunnshine r/therealjoke
He will be missed. Thank you, Robin, for leaving such a wonderfully frenetic legacy.
What do you mean he will be missed? 😞 are you telling me he's...
@@lieutenantdan417 . . . visiting Elvis.
Man, Robin Williams is so good at acting that this was probably something he improvised to make the movie better.
3 and a half minutes of just full tilt boogie crazy RW madness. Beautiful.
I'd listen to a radio show hosted by Robin Williams anytime
He passed away, asshole. (rip)
He was amazing the greatest comedian ever may he rest in peace ❤️
I remember AFR playing these cuts on the radio station when I was stationed in Panama in 1991. I heard Robin made a few hours of material for the movie.
That “GOOOOOOOD MOOONING VIETNAM!!!” Never gets old
I think in this scene the actors laughing is legit. I really think they had no idea this was gonna happen.
The worlds light got noticeably darker on the day he took his life. RIP to a true legend. He will go down in history for being one of the best ever and he deserves every bit of it.
undoubtedly one of the greatest movies ever. Robin Williams was an unparalleled comic genius. QEPD
I feel like that guy behind the glass is genuinely laughing and couldn’t control himself
Hats off to Bruno Kirby for the thankless job of making Lt Hauk the most rock headed character in the whole film
I still love how this was purely unscripted
Robin Williams you are deeply missed , The world is not the same without your comedic genius .... Hope you're god smile .... Stay up🖖😇
I loved watching this movie at the "$5 theater" in Santa Fe Springs ca. That was the first movie i can remember crying laughing. Like when you cant breathe laughing. One of the best ever.
I used to have this as my alarm and it worked really well
Still hard to believe that he is gone. He was such a huge talent. Miss him badly
If Robin wasn't a comedian he'd have been a great DJ.
God, I miss that man's brilliant humor! RIP Robin.
No one could have scripted that. What a natural. I heard his mentor was Jonathan Winters.
The saddest thing about all of this is simple.. ALL of the people in recent years who likely do not know his name.. Never cracked up laughing so hard you can barely breath... And, most importantly to some of us... His humanity when it came to every day life... Good Will Hunting barely scratched the surface of who he was (just in that vein - not exactly humor)... He truly was one of a kind.... Miss you every day, Sir...
I miss Robin every day. He was as you say, one of a kind. Rest his soul. I never knew that he struggled with depressions. I suffer from them myself but when I feel down and out I watch these kind of videos of his. They bring me up a bit.
He was one of the greatest actors. Rest in peace. :(
Robin Williams "" UNLEACHED"" Doing what only Robin could do.
Absolute icon u r missed everyday robin
U will be making the angels laugh up there mate I’m sure of it 💙🙌🏼👍🏼👏🏼💙🙌🏼👍🏼👏🏼
Fun fact, the guys in the booth losing themselves with laughter aren’t acting, that was they’re genuine reactions to robin Williams performance
Man Robin Williams is one of a kind, I wonder if therevis any actors out there who almost has the same characteristics as him though.
When I was on a ski trip to austria with school , we had to get up at 6am . . My friend Ethan who I was sharing a room with decided to wake me and the other people in our room up by going " GOOOOODDD MOOORRNING VIETNAAAMMMMM " - best wake up call in history
I remember watching this with my friends at the cinema. We were ecstatic!
This clip makes me want to see a Robin Williams like character be the radio announcer in a Fallout game.
I've put this on other videos, but I'll say it all day long: One of the greatest all-time miscarriages of justice in Hollywood was that Robin Williams didn't win the Oscar for this performance. NO ONE could've done it better.
Watched this after having a bad day now I feel better, thank you Robin
I wonder what his I.Q. was. He really thought faster than 99% of us.
Likely only average. Years of Improv training and comedy writing would certainly make him good at making stuff up or writing it out.
@@catsammich482 idk cocaine only speeds it up so much.
@@catsammich482 If all it took were training and writing, there would be others like him. There aren't. There are occasional geniuses who are simply not like the rest of us.
Faster doesn't mean smarter, it just means you get the answer sooner than the rest of us.
(Food for thought)
The early morning person at dispatch getting ready for tones.
I love how when he finally stops to take a breath at the end he's just like "too much?"
Got to love this movie ^^
Wouldn't have been possivle without the great Robin.
Who else is here after the Joe Rogan podcast? I see that kid laughing in the back.
Yeah! Juney Smith. But also, Robert Wuhl. :D
Nothing beats explaining the war situation than some good ol’ Wizard of Oz.
2:48 Kinda like listening to Quahog's Ollie Williams.
That Rod Serling impression was spot on
