Robin Williams on fatherhood

- Having just received a third child, I wanted to share this classic 1986 stand-up routine from Robin Williams that, despite being 30 years old, is just as relevant today to any parent or parent-to-be.

May I just say, Mr. Williams,
*We ain’t never had a friend like you.*
Loved yu comment
Amen
Is it weird in a way, even to this day I still see him as a father figure? You will truly be missed Mr William's
Victor Niitani no I do too, it just shows even the happy people are always sad
That comment should have had way more likes
When my son was born, he looked me right in the eyes in the delivery room and instantly stopped crying. It was like I was looking into all creation. That is the most memorable experience of my life.
How precious
This is so beautiful, I almost started crying! God bless!
JESUS IS CALLING YOU which one?
@@PaGaNism MediaSubliminal's testimony about how his newborn baby looked him in the eye and stopped crying. I found that precious! God bless!
Same experience, but a daughter.
His voice has so much range, if he was wearing a trench coat I’d think 12 people were under it.
that has to be one of the best things I've seen in the comments
12 people are under it and all of them think that they're the head
A man of a thousand voices RIP Robin Williams
So true. His ability to play characters whether in stand-up or movies was phenomenal. He was one of a kind. He was one of my heroes.
At least 8 would be on cocaine.
Y’know before I found robin williams stand up I thought he only did kid friendly stuff.
I was quite wrong.
Carsyn Camp there is a reason everyone loved him
Want a mind bend? Try watching Bob Saget standup having only ever seen Full House and America’s Funniest Home Videos.
He was supposedly doing lots of coke during this time.
Carsyn Camp
You could say that 🤪
Yeah. I grew up watching stuff like Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire and Flubber, and the first time I saw his stand up I almost didn't believe it. It was crazy to see this guy I grew up with in all my favorite movies drop some of the most vulgar and hilarious jokes I'd ever heard.
The labour part is no exaggeration. My wife dislocated two of my fingers during the birth of my son.
I would have dislocated more than two!! MY son? Not "our" son???
When is the exaggeration?
Ive heard that a pour father got one his balls squeezed to death while his wife is giving birth.
My mother thought she had my dad's pocket, apparently, when the first one was born. She had him by the scrotum. 10/10 poker face. Apparently
Ouch
"My God, he's hung like a bear!" ... "Thats the umbilical cord, Mr. Williams..."
XXTALEN “Don’t cut that......let him dream!”
XXTALEN hahaha. I think Williams already said that.
Fuck it
You're supposed to let it stay on there 30 minutes
Don't cut that......let him dream for a while....
The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. One of the greatest Humans ever to have lived. Miss him dearly.
I would like this but in novemeber 2019 and I'm running through los Angeles taking down replicants
"My candle burns on both ends,
It will not last the night
But ah my foes, and oh my friends
It gives a lovely light"
-Edna St. Vincent Millay
I love this quote! :)
Dogboy73: Wow, that’s a good quote.
Apparently it's a technique we've been using since Medieval theatre days, to tell jokes for the first half and to turn it serious the second half, and that's the perfect recipe to make people cry. Somehow Robin only had to turn it vaguely serious for 30 seconds at the very end to give the performance a wholesome feel than make us connect to him, to what he is saying and to life in general, in a way that goes beyond mere jokes and brings a tear to my eye.
the ending is so cathartic and heartwarming but at the same time really sad considering how he died... forever a legend Robin Williams
His death still gets me. He always felt like the uncle I heard stories of but never met.
Rip vip Robin williams
@Ross Otto how do people like you live? Go get a hobby
Ross Otto I hope you find happiness in your life without hating on others
@Ross Otto In his autopsy they found he had the matter in his brain that Alzheimer's ppl have. He didn't kill himself out of anything but knowing something in his brain wasn't right. He knew bad shit was happening to him and that depression from the brain buildup did him in. It is very sad that we still don't know how to stop Alzheimer's before it kills. If in fact you celebrated someones death, you deserve whatever life gives you. Karma is a bitch. Wishing death on someone else is just plain ignorant. Enjoy your ignorant life loser.
Robin William
The man
The myth
The genie
The scientist
The legend
The aunt
The Peter pan
The comedian
(Sorry I could not get everything he was)
He will be missed
It's ok he's more than everything
The robot
The nanny
The Popeye
The radio broadcaster
The doctor
“You’re ready. You may be a lumberjack, you may have been a marine, you may have seen blood and guts, but you’ve never seen ca-ca like this..”🤣🤣🤣
"He looked into my eyes and pissed over me. And I realized: I am a father now". I miss you, Robin.
It is a testiment th how much he was loved, in 2020 we still feel the loss. He was one of kind for sure. I pray he found peace, GOD BLESS him. 😇
12:07-12:27 this man was able to put a very deep message about life into his comedy routine. That’s something that many people can’t do correctly, Robin Williams will forever be missed by us all.
They played it at the Emmys in 2014 as a tribute to him
Aaaaaand I'm crying.
He was so good at that. Man So many of his stand-ups, I just wanna cry. He's so spot on.
@@joshuaherpolsheimer3541 can u give me the link to that video?
@@BloodPaladin th-cam.com/video/jUHV703ZRys/w-d-xo.html
This made me cry. I am not sure why. Especially that last part. I know it silly, but the last part felt like he was talking to all of us.
"Well, what's it gonna be?"
"I don't know, but maybe along the way, you take my hand, will tell a few jokes and have some fun. You're not afraid are you?"
"Nah...fuck it."
Even with the laughter. He basically said what life is. "Tell a few jokes and have some fun."
I'm glad I'm not the only dude that teared up
that ending is very fucking touching!!!
Robin Williams could make us feel ever emotion while laughing
Yea the reality is we miss Robbin
That part could be in a movie
Me: *pauses at "Hagen Daz" and turns to spouse* is that true?
Spouse: nope. I kept all the knives out of your reach.
Yup....I knew my wife was pregnant with our second when she woke up with her head on backwards....(I learned from the first time)
I'll take things that never happened for 500, Alex
@@KingNexusMOCs You have never been around a hormonal pregnant woman then.......
What is Hagen Daz?
@@lekhapratap1652 really good but really overpriced ice cream
Thank God his talent is recorded for future generations. I miss him.
There isn't a comedian today that can match the wit & genius of Robin Williams, I miss him deeply.
You don't think "Comedian" when someone says Robin Williams-- You think, Robin Williams. Cause at the end of the day his style was that unique
Meh, Randy is pretty good
unfortunately, it's not at all unlikely that his signature manic style is related to the reason he is no longer around
Robin Williams isn't just a comedian, he is a national treasure.
@@artlessknave It was more on the fact that none of his family really wanted anything to do with him, and add to the fact his wives were like harpies draining him of all his money, he was basically drowning in loneliness and watching everything he had slowly being taken away.
When your passing saddens a gorilla (Koko) who met you once, you have truly left your imprint upon this world.
Truth.
Amen.
truth
Funny man
When he said "WHYTHEFUCKDOYOUWANNAKNOW?!"
I felt that
When I first saw my daughter at the moment she was born, it was like time froze. I heard her first cry, and it felt like my life began.
"Ask mommy. She's omnipotent! She knows everything!" True. So very true. 😂 I can say that personally.
Yup.....while missing the sarcasm......hehehehe.....
I think he meant omniscient (all knowing) rather than monipotent (all powerful).
Been married 30years by keeping that in mind!
Lmfao XD got to that part right as i read this.
Words cannot describe how correct that is. Though the best part was "overnight she goes from zero to Aida!!!!"
And people say atomic bombs have high compressed energy..
He should have lived to 100. At least. One of the very few celebrities I never met whose loss I feel to this day.
Cocaine's a hell of a drug.
Robin was a man of pure kinetic energy.
Having lost my dad and younger brother within 7 months of each other in 2017, the last part made me cry, bc even though my dad was 60,and my brother was 28, i could still see my dad holding his hand out to take my little brother's hand when he led him off into eternity together.
I'm glad you shared this. A lot of us feel this deeply.
“Part toxic waste part velcro” hahaha
More like Super Glue!
@J Mireles Exactly. Toxic tar that melds with the skin on contact and becomes an intrinsic part of it, remaining only when you've completely renewed all of the skin cells multiple times over.
🤣🤣🤣 the meconium cleanse. I've had the fun of being there with two of my kids when they got their first meconium changes with my grandkids
I think one of Robin Williams' greatest gifts was his ability to inject energy into small stories of every day things, with his voice, expressions and body movements.
Without a doubt, one of the funniest people to EVER walk
the planet.
He was such a good person... All he wanted to do was make people laugh and feel good, even when he himself couldn't bare to deal with the pain of life and depression.
He brought so much joy to the world. He will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Robin. We miss you.
Well said
“It makes her periods seem like nothing” 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I believe him 100%
Thank you TH-cam I didn't ask for this but thank you
His voice impression of a child is great and hilarious
Who else is watching and missing Robin Williams in 2020?
And in 2022
Several years ago, my wife bought me the Robin Williams DVD box set for Christmas. I have not been able to watch all of them. I find myself crying a little, and thanking God that I was alive at the same time, and occupied the same world space as Robin Williams.
"Passing a bowling ball" always gets me
"I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection."
- Sigmund Freud
i can. a child needs a father’s unconditional love and companionship far more than his protection. freud was wrong about a lot of things.... this was one of them.....
pelotasdad why you say that about Freud ?
Kiki Samara hmmm.... i guess because it was the truth?
saganist neither parent has a singular role. dads that don’t give unconditional love to their kids are shitty dads that cause uncorrected personality traits.
"Please fuck your mom."
-Also Sigmund Freud
I just found out my wife was pregnant a few days ago. This was the first video I chose to watch specifically to prepare. I'm very satisfied with my choice.
Congratulations bro
So hows the baby
@@aceofspades5003 messy, difficult, and the best thing ever.
I loved this skit about parenthood. Robin Williams was a comedic genius. . He's surly missed.
That ending was heartwarming
looking at this clip now knowing he is dead and gone
sure feels strange but feeling the loss of him very
REAL , we lost something huge when he died pure fact,
may he rest in peace where ever he is dwelling.
and a gut punch knowing Robin's gone
@@hisokamorow2432 Fuck It Fuck It Fuck It
It's pretty amazing to be able to take people from upbeat, chaotic comedy to such a heartfelt, touching ending. I felt like everyone was captivated. A truly talented individual. 🙏💫
I like how he stands like Wile E. Coyote if he was a cyborg powered by meth.
Asbestos Fish that image maybe one of the most incredible and funny ive ever heard lol
He was addicted to coke and alcohol in the 80s.. He was probably high as a kite.. No disrespect intended.. He was a comical genius... He's missed greatly..
I've been trying for years to convey that observation as elegantly as you conveyed it. Kudos.
He really put fatherhood into words far better than any other human on Earth could.
He was such a comedic genius and I don’t know if they’ll ever be another one like him again.
Considering just how incredible this guy was doubtful
Never again.Robin could do it all Oscar winning or nomination roles to stand up comedy
As much as I love and miss Robin Williams, I really can't imagine what it must be like for his family. Everyday, they have to deal with the fact that he's gone, but they also have so much of his life documented on the internet that it must feel like he's right there with them.
We are all going to die one day. People move on. That is life.
You know why he killed himself, don't you?
His ex, taking him for all he was worth, and loving every god-damn minute of it.
He coudln't take the outrageous child support and alimony he had to shell out for those absolute cunts.
Yeah, they are sad he's gone, because they can't get any more money off of him.
Xen Xander - Actually, he had a rare disease called Lewy Body Dementia. It makes them paranoid and causes hallucinations. Apparently, that's what lead to him taking his own life.
@@xenxander you are wrong. He was very ill.
Not just his family but his fans as well and that talk of him burning in hell really pisses me off
A little 5 year old saved her mom using the hymlick maneuver after watching mrs.doubtfire ❤❤❤

Hi
The Red Cross no longer teaches the Heimlich Maneuver...it's now called the abdominal thrust cuz Dr. Heimlich had the name copyrighted. 🐧🐧
@MichaelKingsfordGray 😂😂😂😂 🐧🐧
I wonder where she got the upper body strength required for this, but sure ^^
*Mr. Williams*
*May I just say...*
*WE AIN’T NEVER HAD A FRIEND LIKE YOU.*
You are greatly missed and loved Robin Williams, may you Rest in Peace ❤😢❤ 2023
That man was a Legend and ill take this parenthood advice till the day i die.
Hayden0324 he died a legend and will always be remembered. 😊
He didnt die hes just with god making the best film ever i mean shit Gods got Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, Xxx , Carrie Fishier, its gonna be the best movie in Heaven XD
Kirstyn McKenzie snapchat??? Lol
Hayden0324 And perhaps James Horner is creating one helluva soundtrack!!! Dang, how I’m missing everybody...
'You're sitting in your own shit and now you're Carl Sagan?!?' THIS MAN WAS A GEM I LAUGHED SO HARD. #RobinWilliamsForever
When I see him in videos I laugh so hard, then I cry. We miss you so much Robin
Diana, Princess of Wales, is alive! Yes, and it’s time the world begins to awaken to this Truth and so much more. Not only is our beloved Princess still with us, but so is John F. Kennedy, Jr., Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and Lauren Bessette. There’s also a long list of celebrities and entrepreneurs including David Bowie, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, and Whitney Houston.
So, how does one account for something as unbelievable as this? Well, each person named above, and those whose names haven’t been revealed yet, have their own story, and soon you’ll be learning about it. However, in the meantime, here’s the short version. Each one of these people, at one point, entered into a worldwide witness protection program.
Wondering what these individuals needed protection from?
It’s something the likes of which the average man or woman has never been confronted with. Although it may sound funny, each one of us will eventually have a role in the “Big Picture,” too. What is it? We need to respectfully listen to their stories and begin to understand the “as yet, unrecognized threat” that humanity has been living amongst.
Bottom line is that we must give these brave people an opportunity to tell their stories and face head-on the Truths that we’ll be given in order to protect our families and ourselves now and forever more. Best way for us to complete our responsibility is to have unwavering faith in our Creator, God Eternal. (Use a free, online translation tool if you would like to read this message in a different language.)
Robin was our national treasure. This long skit is eternal and relatable to all parents. We’ve all been there. He makes me laugh out loud all over the floor🤗🧡
13 minutes of bliss, the man moved, he was funny, the man talked about his wife, she was funny, the man talked about he's baby, the baby was funny, all the time it was Robin Williams. What can, I say apart from genius a few comedians can cross the Atlantic. And there are those, who reached the stratosphere. Robin Williams.
A year ago you were sitting in your own shit and now you're Carl Sagan?!?!
...ask Mommy, she's omnipotent!
Holy cow, had me rolling.
My father died when I was just 7 years old. I'm about to be a father... I just hope I can do my father proud in becoming the great father I knew my dad was gonna be...
Billy James hope you do man!
You will because you care
Billy, based on your post, it sounds like you are already on your way. Instill right from wrong, be a protector, yet allow them to make mistakes to learn. Most importantly, be a good example for them because they are watching everything you say and do. Treat your wife like you hope your boys will treat their wives and how you want your daughter to be treated by her husband. Don’t hide your mistakes and fears. Showing your vulnerability to them shows you are a real person with emotions too which will open the door for them to show theirs to you in return. I recall seeing a video of a father who had a son commit suicide at 14 hrs old. He said he always portrait himself to his kids as a strong, successful business leader but never showed any vulnerability in front of his kids. He feared his child chose death over portraying weakness to his father since his father never showed any. I had a horrible upbringing and only saw my father a few times after I was 7 yrs old. I’ve made sure my boys don’t have to grow up in the same physical and emotional environment that I grew up in. I feel like the richest man in the world because of my relationship with my wife and boys, and I hope you will feel the same. God bless.
So u dead or?
Robin Williams was a gift to humanity.
"Its a little old man dipped in 40-wt!" I died!
Robin Williams was hilarious, man that guy made me laugh. RIP Robbin.
Seen this 100 times makes me laugh till I cry EVERY TIME!!! MISS YOU ROBIN.
Robin. Williams was a great man and will always be missed 😢
I miss you Robin.
Me too.
Dayna Silvey We*
we all do sister...
Omg it's so late at night and I'm trying to laugh on the inside so i don't wake my son or husband. Can't breathe, help LMAO
Yeah, that happens if you watch Robin...he was one of a kind.. hahahaha fucks you up completely
Jesus that’s me right now..
I have a 2 1/2 year old son and a 2 1/2 month old daughter. I just saw this for the first time and it might be the most relateable and awesome thing I've ever seen. RIP Robin. You are truly missed by so many
I met Robin in person in August 2002 in Incirlik, Turkey while setting up the stage for a USO Show. What an entertainer on and off the stage. He also spent time with us military personnel talking and taking pictures with everyone who wanted them. Lost to soon but what a comedian who could make anyone laugh.
The Haagen Daz part was priceless. 😂
You know, I really don't laugh at much. But I will laugh at Robin Williams.
Yes, this was intended to be funny and yes it is stand up, but he has a deeper meaning to this: son's need their fathers throughout their life. To guide them. To teach them. And maybe one day that'll all go away and the dreams father had were untrue. That doesn't matter though. Essentially, don't let your life pass you by and take advantage of every moment. Cause it's short....... and so is the time with your father.
I could barely breathe laughing at every second of this. Robin Williams thank you for being who you are.
Today marks the 9th of October 2019. I cannot count how many times I have seen this bit from the Legendary Robin Williams. I am 22 and since I was 16 I have dreamt what it would like to be a father and have a loving family one day.
The amount of sheer joy I feel from Mr. Williams is beyond what my level of English allows me to describe. I am at loss for words.
I hope to be at least half good the father as Mr. Williams is comedian.
I dare say He is missed very much.
he goes from super manic to heartwarming in no seconds flat
RIP Robin - You graced the world with your special humor and your humanity, both of which will be sorely missed. Only a father would understand where he was coming from, but on those good days every dad realizes that it's all worth it - every bit of it!
There will never ever be a legend like him again
“It’s the Williams boy” lmao
There will never be a day when I don’t miss the energy, and laughter from this brilliant man. He raised us all up with humor, but kept our feet on the ground. RIP dear Robin. 😥
I've heard these stories all too many times having 9 siblings and more nieces and nephews than you can count. Robin Williams is hilarious and right on point with this depiction of fatherhood, including his signature, an ending that makes you smile and your heart grow ten times
Gary Liseo Jr
Don't get me wrong I miss robins Williams too. But my dad has 17 siblings. I am grandchild #59. I'm pretty sure you don't have that much family compared to me lol.
that one girl with too much free time who said this was a competition?
No one:
TH-cam recommends: A 1986 standup routine from Robin Williams on fatherhood
But seriously I can't watch this because I will never get over his death RIP Robin Williams 😪
I think Robin would have liked it if you did. Seemingly the only joy out of life he had was making other people happy.
Missing out
Enjoy the gift he gave us.
Robin was so good at setting this insanely wild bar of energy all the way up, and then ratcheting it down really quiet somewhere when he was ready to make his point and bring it all together.
Greatest comedian ever. He will be forever missed.
None stop Robin has you either grinning with a frozen face or laughing uncontrollably. We miss you Robin.
When he walked off at the end I was a blubbering, bawling mess. I miss him so much.
I was fine all the way through, but... That last part man. I miss that gorgeous, gorgeous person
Did he... Just tell the audience about how he handles his depression over 30 years ago?
It must not have worked or at least not forever.
I'm glad to see someone didn't simply call it "heartwarming".
To me, Williams got a little too real and just sucked the energy out of the room at the end. He didn't wave, he didn't stand around, he just turned his back on his audience and left.
The act entered its depressive part of his manic act and by the sounds of that one guy trying to laugh, the audience didn't know how to take it.
Are you talking about the "drinking and getting stoned" part or the "Fuck it" part?
He was a warrior, fought.
Tskmaster, I think Robin was just being So Real at the last part, that the audience didn’t know How to react. I reacted just like that audience did when I first saw him do this performance. I thought the ending was sweet. Then, that it was sentimental and nostalgic. And, THEN, I thought it was actually, truly sad. Before Robin vanished completely, into the dark at the back of that stage, I realized that his performance was ALL those things/feelings, and more. I kinda, just sat there quietly, and just allowed the whole thing to wash over me, again and again. I was almost in a trance like state, re-living the experience. I felt like the last part was the largest Truth I’d ever witnessed. And that Truth left me in Awe of Humanity.
Legends never die…
When my son was born he looked like a Zenomorph with his head all misshapen from the birth canal. Was not prepared for that.
Still enjoying this in 2024..May you live forever Mr. Williams ❤
God, I love and miss this man so much! He gave us his life so we could laugh at ourselves. Like so many gifted people, he suffered for his talent, but he still had the courage to persist in the hopes of a better future. Bless all those who follow in his footsteps.
Those that laugh and joke the most hide the most pain.
Suffer for your talents. Wtf does that even mean? Is it one of those euphemisms that humans use just to say some BS. Robbin was drug abuser addicted to cocaine. Committed suicide after he fried his brain. Nothing romantic about it.
This is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. I still miss Robin Williams so much.
He always made me laugh til I cried, but now that he's gone, this has made me laugh until I'm weeping tears of grief and longing. He was, and still is, deeply loved and forever etched in my heart. Robin...so gifted, and you gave us the many gifts of laughter, poignancy, joy, and love. Peace to all of your children. Joy and delight to your future grandchildren as they get to know and love you, too.
It's pretty sad you are putting this cokehead womaniser in such a high glory... Well in Africa they worship big rocks so go figure. Humans will make anything as their false idols. First commandment out of the window right there.
I wonder if Zach has ever gone back and watched these old things. I wonder if it hits him as hard or harder than it hit me
Robin Williams man Robin Williams. Truly one of a kind
Just became a father 4 days ago to an amazing boy. Hes in the nicu right now and wife is next to me at home pumping so we can go feed him. Open youtube and looked at recommendations. Ah, this should be good while Im simultaneously paranoid because I mentioned nothing on social media that I was expecting.
Watched this video and my wife almost shoots milk cuz shes dying of laughter.
@ David Pizzuto. Sounds like a win-win for 'ya!! The titty fairy showed up, too?? Hell yeah, man!! Seriously, congrats to you and " Mommy". Best wishes, man.,.
The Bringer!!
The best standup comedy that ever was! We will never see one quite like him again. R.I.P Robin Williams...
Who else in 2020 still misses this man?
I miss him..I miss him so fucking much..
I really miss this man. His ability to take you from drop dead laughter to pensive tears was incredibly unique. How sad to have someone so warm and funny taken so tragically but hey, I'm glad I got to spend a bit of time in the world he made a little brighter. RIP Robin, you're very much missed
A truly great man left this world in a very terrible way. But at least he have left a lasting impression of some very funny stuff. This clip is over 30 years old and it still rings true. And made me laugh so hard. 😆. Robin Williams, hopefully you found the peace you need. R.I.P.
Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Joan Rivers. The list goes on. We'll never have it that good again!
I still get emotional when I see a clip of him. You are still truly missed Robin.
One of the few comedic geniuses. One minute the whole room on the floor laughing, and boom just like that the next minute all quiet with not a dry eye in the place. That's Mr. Williams. I can't think of anyone else that has the power to hold an audience in the palm of their hands like he did. R.I.P. Mr. Williams.
The entire story was just the funnies of life that all ends with the truth of it all. That's how a lot of his comedy was. A legend if there ever was one.
God, I miss this man
Quoting from Month Python’s The Life of Brian.
“Always look on the Bright Side of Life.”
Thank you Mr. Williams for giving us such laughter, You will always be greatly missed. I was devastated when I heard you passed and lost your fight with depression, But it’s alright, You’ll forever be immortalized on the Internet and be loved by millions, If not, Billions.
Thank you Mr. Williams for making us and others laugh in the darkest of times.
Rest In Peace.
He was the funniest man in the world and I miss him so much. The ending always gets me right in the chest. I love you Robin❤️
First time I saw this routine, I almost laughed myself into labor!
Still can't believe he's gone 😔😓 R.I.P.
The ending was beautiful, just, perfect, filled with hope, and honesty and just, good feelings, that was amazing.
