It’s wild being 39 and realizing Robin was only 36 when he passed. He seemed like he was 50 when I was a kid. RIP to the legend

[@warnerokereke4259]

Wow he was so young and hands down the funniest comedian I've ever seen! Not a wealth of material but what he had was funny

[@BroWnkFrm202]

🎯💯I was thinking the same shxt fr🤣 RIP to Bro Harris tho 🕊️

[@markjones6769]

When I read what you said I was like damn that’s harsh but when you think about it you right lol😂 he was playing teenagers fathers at 33 😂

ROBIN HARRIS DOESN'T GET ENOUGH RESPECT IN THE KINGS OF COMEDY CONVERSATION .. HE'S 1 OF THE ALL-TIME GREATS ..

[@jbizz80]

Robin unfortunately didn't live long enough to put himself in that conversation.

[@jasonfriedl6896]

He made house party better than good. He made it great

They all played in Harlem Night except DL, Steve and Ced

Facts people don’t realize before Bernie Mac it was ROBIN HARRIS

[@DonRedmond-qb3we]

@@rowlaanbennett7296 Also, Bernie's platform was birthed off of Robin Harris. I remember seeing Bernie for the first time saying wow, he is a second coming of Robin Harris. Hence why they cast him as Robin's brother.

Joe Torry will always be "Chicago" from poetic justice. I loved that fight scene with him and pac and pac threw his brush 🤣🤣

Joe being 58 is amazing he looks and sounds youthful

Sprung was such an underrated film to me, a classic in my opinion, but it seemed like it never got the shine...if you haven't seen it, definitely check it out. Classic in my book ✊🏽

[@rowlaanbennett7296]

Movie was HOT GARBAGE! the first 20 minutes were good after that it goes COMPLETELY down hill

Robin Harris is an absolute legend, if you're not familiar with his work please do yourself a favor and check him out. Also, I was looking for a Robin Harris shirt but didn't know if it was supporting his family, so I passed. But, I definitely want an authentic Robin Harris shirt that supports his family. His family should start a website, so his fans can support

I went to a comedy show in Detroit and John Witherspoon was on the roster. I knew him from little bit parts in movies and whatnot. I was like I don't want to see this guy really. Pops tore the house down and was a super fan afterwards. Found out most of the stuff he was in was impromptu and off the dome.

Robin Harris was Bernie Mac before Bernie Mac … the same way Bernie joke got turned into a tv show for him was the same exact scenario forshow Bebe kids… it wasn’t supposed to be a cartoon. Unfortunately he passed and they picked and made it a cartoon. That’s actually not Robins voice on Bebe kids it’s Faizon love impersonating him

Robin may had been taking out by the Mason also just like Michael, Pryor, Whitney, Red Foxx.

[@sunshinejonz]

Willie D L Conversations different from Willie D Live...this show seems dark and slow just off a little. Since it's similar in a way to Club Shay (squared) it feels a bit like a JV verses a Varsity game. The tone needs to be brighter, the questioning needs better prepared. Willie's microphone needs to be closer to make the sound more powerful. This is not a knock, I love my guy Willie D...just think the show feels off and a bit sad regardless of the guests and or content. Need a set makeover or something.
