Robin Williams was such an comedic inspiration to me. What a tragic loss. May we learn more about about mental depression and combat it with help from above.
I miss hiim everyday. Whenever I am depressed, I try to find something new on youtube and it makes me smile. You can see the difference in him from 2012 and 2013. He lost weight and he never used his left hand. Even in his series The Crazy Ones - you can see it. I wish someone stayed with him, even just in the house. His wife should not have left him alone. He will always be in my heart.
Robin Williams complained of "Bicentinial Man" not doing so well. Personally that is one of my FAVORITES and my Kids!!! I wish Robin was still here. Our world NEEDS a Man like that. Above all that~~at least we got to have his Gifts while we did. I miss him like I miss one of my own family members. He's been such a bonus to EVERYONE. (He might be "up there" right now making my brother laugh) No doubt!! That's a comfort!
okay, I completely lost it at "Australia...all the animals are there it's Darwin's waiting room..." the best thing is just the imagination he provokes and creates in your mind, like it's not just some basic pun, or technical criticism, or political/sociological commentary, or base sexual humor -- it's me spending almost 10 minutes cracking up imagining what's going on in "Darwin's Waiting Room" He was just a genius dedicated to doing nothing but making you laugh with total authenticity, no matter who you are. And geniuses have suffered from their own struggles since ancient times. Robin, I hope you know how much you made all of us laugh, and THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS BEING ARCHIVED - PLEASE NEVER TAKE THEM DOWN.
This is why the suicide was so shocking. Look at this; joking, laughing, moving around nonstop, a mile a minute -- full of ridiculous energy that would tire out a man half his age. I know clinical depression is common among comics, but I'll just never understand it.
Well you said it not me, you don't understand. People who have depression don't look depressed. They have too much pride to let someone know they have depression Laughing and joking is something you even do more when you are depressed.
Josh Lavian I agree and I think a lot of it is depression I don't think looks like "sadness and despair" it looks like a guy totally looking ok with himself but never feeling good enough for his family or his wife (or ex-wives) or co-workers or fans) It is funny because you say something about he seems so happy you can hardly see him as not (or the effect was that in your comment) but it is funny because I keep bringing up a comment that I saw his "wife" on Mrs. Doubtfire said that showed him to be as confident in himself as he could possibly be at being as joyful as you see him here and yet she (Sally Field) supposedly said that Robin was unable to make her laugh in the real world in the green room of their set or wherever for instance. I doubt it means she thinks he isn't funny or whatever she just maintained I am guessing a professional front and managed to stay confident in her reaction etc. It just struck me as odd because Robin seemed so needing to be "always and entirely on" that it is like the one time he "was on" and wasn't appreciated it supposedly like infuriated him or something I forget the word she used but it was like OMG. That sounds like bipolar depression mix of someone who was like incapable of thinking of himself as not funny because he wasn't wanting to be the opposite. Am I overthinking that quote?
***** That makes somewhat more sense, but I've read and heard that he suffered from depression for many years. I read that in the lead up to his suicide, he slept most of the day and didn't have any energy. That is depression. What he shows in this video, I think a depressed person would be very hard-pressed to pull off. I could be completely wrong, of course, but I don't speak from complete inexperience, and if he was just putting on a show, that just speaks further to his talent. There are plenty of depressed comics, but they're not energetic and wild and nonstop like he was here (and most of his career).
Hard to fathom/believe what happened to him. Life can turn on a dime in ways you never could imagine I guess is the lesson for me. True Comic genius was Robin Williams. RIP.
I agree I wish Robin Williams was still here I loved all his movies and he is one amazing great actor in everything he did and he is and will always be dearly missed for the joy and laughter he gave to all who loved him as much as I did he will always be in my heart.
In the constellation of brighter starts, he is the brightest of them all and his light will continue reaching us years after this beautiful start died. What a blessing to have him with us. When I need a little pick up, I look for his videos in TH-cam and they never fail to brighten my mood.
I'm Australian I never realised The Umbilical Brothers made it to the U.S. do you have the part of this interview where Robin and the Bros are together???
Why his last wife didnt check on him when she left that morning..knowing well his depressed state of mind!! Totally inexcusable on her part...his children having to settle his estate with her...errr Sure not pleasant..

man, we're gonna miss this guy. . . RIP boss.
I'm sure every talk show host who booked Robin knew they would have to cede control to him and let him go. RIP.

The ironic thing is there is a city in Australia named after Darwin lol
Damn ...I will miss this guy! He was a F Talent! RIP man.
A talent that will be missed..
Unbelievable talent. Hilarious interview. RIP Robin Williams.
dammit. he was such a genius. RIP dude.
Robin was such a spontaneous and brilliant mind.

Josh Perhaps, but it's also something you do when you're not depressed, so it naturally came as a surprise.

I don't understand it either. The main thoery that's been going around was that he had Parkinson's, and didn't want to succumb to that.

Best comedian in the world we will miss him
Missing him like closest family member. RIP
Two favorite comedians, love it. No one can keep up w/ Robin though.
RIP Robin. We still miss you.
I was not aware he was on the internet back then. :o I wish I was more involved in computers then, I would have loved to support his page. :(
My right ear really enjoyed this.
Robin Williams True Genius.
We miss you Robin.
when robin goes dark its the funniest shit ever
Hard to fathom/believe what happened to him. Life can turn on a dime in ways you never could imagine I guess is the lesson for me.
True Comic genius was Robin Williams. RIP.
what an amazing talent
I agree I wish Robin Williams was still here I loved all his movies and he is one amazing great actor in everything he did and he is and will always be dearly missed for the joy and laughter he gave to all who loved him as much as I did he will always be in my heart.
inaudible.com with Stalone reading Good Night Moon...god, so effing hilarious
If you mentioned 8 track tapes to someone under 30 they wouldn’t have a clue what you were talking about;
Genius.
Gosh he is missed...
In the constellation of brighter starts, he is the brightest of them all and his light will continue reaching us years after this beautiful start died. What a blessing to have him with us. When I need a little pick up, I look for his videos in TH-cam and they never fail to brighten my mood.
RIP Robin you just never know man you never know
My right here is lonely..
Like me.. ;-;
It is going to be hard for any actor to portray Robin Williams in a biopic.
***** I'm sure he wouldn't care or mind either way but you have close minded people in society that would and would scream bloody murder.
Case in point: All the TRUMP supporter and then some.
+Elven Trachea - lol
jim carrey
They definitely need to make a Robin Williams biopic
Still missed and almost two years now.
+Mary Beth Maynard - Yes, he is missed!
He was podcasting before podcasts
That last joke 🤣🤣 😭😭🤣🤣
Thank you so much for sharing
Robin would have made a great youtuber it seems. He was already promoting audible!!
I'm Australian I never realised The Umbilical Brothers made it to the U.S. do you have the part of this interview where Robin and the Bros are together???
What is this new tangled MP3 player?! Music...OFF THE INTERNET!?!? It'll never work!
Legend
@4:40 Robin Williams invented podcasting? Anyone know where these are?
audible. com is now part of Amazon
www.robin-williams.net/audible.php
Sorry -- I just noticed they were asked to take their copies down
My left ear enjoyed this video very much .
R.I.P. Robin Williams 🌹🌹
Jay the tech illiterate. 😂
what year was this??
:45 a new ride?
What year was this?
Must have been around 2000 as he referenced Bicentennial man which was released in 1999. Just a hunch. But crazy early for podcasts and such.
Brad Richards Sounds about right. Thanks man!
***** Well audible.com has been around since 1995. So 2000 wouldn't be too weird.
***** 2000. Because he said he just did an interview with Jonathan Winters on audible. com
When was this?
ingahauks77 2000
You have to imagine what the hell was in that mug!! :-)
water im sure.. but boy he was manic here.. I think he started putting weight on here too. this is 1996??? anyone know for sure what year this was?
Jimbo j 2000 probably, since they mentioned Elián González.
Jimbo j 2000. Because he said he just did an interview with Jonathan Winters on audible. com
Water
Why his last wife didnt check on him when she left that morning..knowing well his depressed state of mind!! Totally inexcusable on her part...his children having to settle his estate with her...errr
Sure not pleasant..
Who said she didn't check on him?
