What's sad is that this was initially supposed to be performed by Mary Kay Bergman (the lady who played a ton of the SP characters) but she committed suicide in November 1999, so Robin filled in. They both left in the same way...
Robin had a degenerative brain disease, didn't he? I could look it up, but I feel like we lose some of our humanity that way, bit by bit. Whoever you are, hope you keep kickin it.

I would love to know the reaction of any Canadians who watched this live and didn’t know of South Park, making this performance completely free of any context.
Love how even if he couldn't quite keep up with the lyrics or hold the tune as well as Kyle's mom, he committed to the dancing full stop and was a rousing centerpiece.
I saw the SP movie in the theater, & decided to actually watch the Oscars that year. I bursted out laughing when this came on. It was the highlight of the night! ❤😄
29/06/23 I literary *just now* found out that this existed from watching Nostalgia Critic critique the SP Movie. Robin sounds like he's really struggling with this song but has a phenomenal onstage presence!! Miss this man and his magic so much!!!
Why do we have to keep reminding ourselves he's dead? Can't we just enjoy him for what we have? And not keep bringing up that he died? SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT
It was very difficult for it to win considering that it competed with Tarzan and Toy Story 2 in the same category Although it would have been a surprising and quite wonderful victory
One of the coolest things the academy has done was nominate this song knowing that it would rain criticism A daring and controversial but quite fabulous and great nomination

I remember seeing this live on TV and I didn't even know that this was a South Park skit! So I was blindsided by this. I was on the floor laughing me head off! It was one of the funniest bits that had ever seen Robin to and has done, oh so many great ones! Robin is the greatest comedian of all time!
The old theater out here in Coos Bay Oregon just played the South Park movie out here last night. I had only seen the movie once and that was well over a decade ago. I think I only started watching South Park maybe a decade ago, but I believe I've watched 90% of the episodes. And I love the fact that they got Robin Williams to perform this song, I also love the fact that Phil Collins won the award🙃🤣🙃
I remember watching this live, the Oscar telecast in 2000. It was surreal; Trey Parker and Matt Stone from South Park showed up in drag, wearing outfits identical to Jennifer Lopez and Gwenyth Paltrow (and as they revealed years later, were both tripping on acid). Robin Williams' performance stole the show. People loved it that night and talked about it the next day- not who won what. Now, 23 years later, Cancel Culture would probably raise hell about the drag outfits, the song's words and even Robin himself.
The most sweetest thing is that Mary Kay Bergman, who voiced all the moms and women on South Park sadly passed away not long before this. Robin Williams did this as a tribute to Mary Kay Bergman who sang the original song. Respect to you, Robin!
@@deliro8758It was both. She committed suicide four months prior to the performance. Her suicide was obviously crushing to Trey and Matt. One is quoted saying they needed at least 4 or 5 lead singers to replace her or someone who could fill really big shoes. So, they asked Robin Williams to do it. I don’t think he rehearsed every day for four months, but he was prepared to do her justice.
I hope Trey & Matt are gonna win Oscars in the future. They DESERVE it & they make great contents. They have won 5 Emmys, 4 Tonys & EVEN a Grammy, about time they compete for the Oscars again & win when they make movies again. I love South Park but i wanna see them make new stuff again for the Cinemas. Their latest film, that turns 20 years now, are awsome. And may Robin Williams rest in peace. He left us TOO early. 💙🙏
I’m kind of relieved that South Park didn’t win the Oscar. Because Trey Parker co-wrote “Blame Canada” and before the ceremony, he and Matt Stone did drugs and if he won, Trey would’ve given his acceptance speech while he was high, which would’ve caused national controversy and the cancellation of South Park
At the "Canadian Ballet" as we call the strip clubs in the buffalo area, one particular joint played this loud with everyone singing along. They sure do have a sense of humor.
I just feel hurt for hearing Robin Williams singing that song. I live in Canada and he was one of my favourite comedians. I even sang Friend Like Me on karaoke in his honour.
I just found this today. I never knew this existed! Seriously.. WTF? How did this collaboration come about ?! Incredible.... RIP Robin x p.s. Pretty sure the shot at the end of the celebrities applauding are the only ones that weren't in an episode of South Park.. similarly to Team America, they ripped into more celebrities than anything else prior to that film! Poor Matt Damon.. at least he found it funny. Some people tried to sue them!
Robin Williams joining what look to be the Radio City Rockettes ... in the iconic kick. Well that's a check list item if any (at least that appeared to be them)
The irony of the Oscars having a censored performance of a song from a movie that took the piss out of film/TV censorship... Hollywood has always been on a level of out-of-touch that flabbergasts the sane mind.
The best part? Trey and Matt were in the crowd tripping on acid. Imagine tripping your balls off, and watching a comedic legend sing YOUR song.
also they were in dresses 😂

@@matth6163 oH nOoOo really??? I am SHOCKED
Robin Williams recognized their immense talent, almost a decade before they swept the Tonys with The Book Of Mormon
Also, in tribute to his friend Mary Kay Bergman who actually sung most of the song in the movie, but passed away before the Oscars.
Dude had definitely seen Cannibal: The Musical
At this point, who hadn't recognized their immense talent? Aside from Bill Donohue and a few other assholes like him.
The entire academy recognized their talent.
Just amazes me that a talent like Robin Williams is a fan of Matt and Trey.

Shocking that there’s no comments here, well… here’s one. Still, I blame Canada for that.
why are you geh?

BLAME CANADA
Many on the east coast of the US are totally blaming Canada this week!
Why is he blaming Canada
I would love to know the reaction of any Canadians who watched this live and didn’t know of South Park, making this performance completely free of any context.
That’s some multiverse ish my man. Unless you’re talking old ass folks because everyone knew South Park by the time the movie was out
A good share probably laughed at it, with only a few being mad
They probably just replied “Sorry you don’t like us eh”
I was honoured honestly 😂 It’s all done with love and fun. I’m from Vancouver BC and I know he loved it here, so this video just brings me joy
From my experience with Canadians, if they took it seriously, they'd probably just assume he went to Montreal and wouldn't blame him. 😛
Love how even if he couldn't quite keep up with the lyrics or hold the tune as well as Kyle's mom, he committed to the dancing full stop and was a rousing centerpiece.
I hope Robin is making people laugh in a better place. It's been almost ten years now and I STILL miss this guy 😢
Seriously... that was the worst week of my life. So many rotten things exploding in my life, finally culminating in his death. Worst. Week.
Oh my God it has been almost 10 years. I'm to damn old.
Who’s here after watching that epic “I’m Just Ken” performance thinking the last time I saw something that awesome on the Oscars was this?
Absolutely!
Everything Is Awesome
