Best of Robin Williams & Billy Crystal Together

[@shashankthegamer]

Just watching Billy alone on the stage talking about Robin is one of the most painful things. I'm eternally grateful to KZbin and its content creators who have kept Robin alive for all of us, forever.

[@bestofhumans4715]

I still can’t watch Robin Williams movies. Too raw. This was the most difficult video I ever made. Thanks for watching and keeping Robin alive

@@bestofhumans4715 dude I saw your channel and just knew you’d have a robin williams video. I’ve never heard a bad thing about him. Never. That alone shows how beloved he was. I tried falling asleep to the Marc maron podcast when robin was a guest. I had to turn it off bc I was laughing too much to sleep.

Their appearance on Friends may have been the best guest star in the entire show's run. It was nearly 3 minutes of crying from laughter.

[@bunzeebear2973]

They probably did forget their lines after Robin & Billy left. The story was insane.

[@johndybala8580]

Billy and Robin appeared on Leno in 1998 to plug "Father's Day." If you watch the entire interview closely (part of it is in this clip from about 8:30 - 13:30 and the entire thing is elsewhere here on YT) you can see the moment Leno decides, "screw it, it's their show now" and gave up on trying to do any semblance of an interview And they went for at least another 15-20 minutes after that.

[@brigidconroy2111]

Never watched friends but would have to see Robin ❤

[@JoeL-yq1iv]

Obviously Robin is a comic genius, but Billy... no matter what lunacy came out of Robin, he went with it seamlessly. If only we could all have a friend like that.

I'm always on the verge of tears when I see Robin Williams, even now, six years after his death. When someone brings so much joy and laughter to the world, the absence of it is deafening.

[@paulesposito5856]

So well written.

[@rickylyon3846]

My personal favorite line from Robin was when he was on the Actor's studio and he's being asked: "If heaven exists, what would you like to hear when you reach the pearly gates?" and his answer was: "Two jews walk into a bar..." Just the idea that God himself would tell him a joke. I like to think he's sitting next to Him exchanging funny jokes. I truly miss you Robin! Hope you're laughing as hard as you made us laugh now.

[@johndybala8580]

James Lipton said, more than once, that of the several hundred "Inside the Actor's Studio" episodes he filmed, far and away he got the most questions and comments about the one with Robin. And most of *those* were about the impromptu performance with the scarf.

[@rickylyon3846]

@@johndybala8580 Well yeah! If you've seen the whole interview, you understand why. Most people would just answer the questions and sometimes be funny. Robin Williams answered the questions but also went into a full performance at the same time. It is quite amazing to witness.

[@markgallagher1621]

@@rickylyon3846 That's how he was in all interviews over the years. He gets asked one question then he's on a roll and goes into super funny mode and they have to wait till hes done then he gets asked another question, the off Robin goes again. I always look forward to him on any interview and I will always miss that.

What Robin Williams' gave to the world was laughter, he gave everything he had and we loved him even more.... Now he has passed from our lives, but we will always have him on film, such a brilliant mind gone far too soon....

You always have been and always will be a legend, even if you are no longer with us. I cannot thank you enough for being so incredible and lifting the spirits of so many people.

[@Gorgalathan]

Knowing we will never have him again or anyone like him makes me tear up. The day he died, I felt like part of me died. I miss him so much and I never even met him. What a man.

[@00708046]

Thank you Billy Crystal for sharing . Any memoirs of Robin are great ones . I long to hear more and keep him fresh in my heart and mind ...

When he passed away, i realized my childhood and it's amazing experiences on film, died with him. Rest in peace, Robin.

[@RETROGEMS]

I cried like a baby when he died. I remembered all of the joy he brought me when I was a kid. The million and 1 times I popped that Mrs. Doubtfire tape in my VCR. My second favorite film after that being Bicentennial Man and the beautiful memory I had of watching that in the theater. He enriched so many of our childhoods, he was such a special man.

To this day I believe that Robin Williams was the greatest comedian of all time who not only made more people laugh than anyone else in history, he made us look at ourselves and realize what's really important in this life: Each other. I think he, more than any celebrity ever, will be missed. The first time I saw Robin and Billy together was very early footage from The Improv, in the early 80s, Robin was speaking trying to sound like an older black southern gent and Billy was doing the "sign language", hilarious!

every time i hear Robin's line "this is so much cheaper than therapy", i cry a little. i so wish that he might have tried a little more therapy and still be with us.

[@LindaLaurenPsychicMedium]

Therapy had nothing to do with it. Trying a little more therapy was not the answer to having LBD. He had over 40 indications of this disease that robbed him of his mind, his body and his spirit. He would not still be with us with a little more therapy. I would strongly suggest that you read the article that his wife wrote regarding his passing and his last days. It will enlighten you so that you won’t go around thinking and talking about how he needed more therapy and would still be with us. That’s a blatant falsehood. It’s unfortunate but it’s true.

@Alexander Supertramp Very good point. And well said. Why anyone feels the need to whine about "remember when we used to have a sense of humor?" It's usually obnoxious Trump loving Republicans who want to roll back the political correctness clock. Sure, maybe some of the political correctness police are overdoing it in some places, but really? If you don't find this stuff funny? Just don't watch. And just stop whining about political correctness, Republicans. It's a really tired, really old song, and you wore out that record eons ago. Some aspects of political correctness are necessary, because, unfortunately, there are racists, white supremacists, misogynists and sexists, religious zealots, and homophobes out there, amongst others, who think that saying all kinds of vile shit is perfectly fine and covered by the first amendment. It's not, but people are entitled to their opinions. I'm entitled to not like your opinion, if I find it offensive. It's not about us not having a sense of humor anymore, because most of us do still have one. It's more about just not being an asshole to any of your fellow human beings. And whining about political correctness is tantamount to saying: "I used to be able to say whatever vile racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., shit I wanted to say, and could be an obnoxious asshole to everybody, and now I can't be." Waaah. Shut up.

The whole sticks and stones defense doesn't exactly cut it when people start calling other people foul shit, using the "n" word or any other similar hate speech. You are entitled to *your opinion* under the first amendment. Calling someone a vile name isn't "your opinion". It's just hateful and wrong. Call 'em an asshole. Or an asshat. Or a jackhole. Whatever. "I think you're being an asshole" would be your opinion. That's protected speech. Otherwise? It's not.
