Robin Williams would sit in the back of comedy clubs to write down/steal jokes. It got to the point comics would refuse to go on stage if they saw him in the room. He'd say these jokes on late night show interviews or in casual conversation to imply he was hilarious on his feet but he'd sway conversations towards his memorized stolen jokes.

Hook Night at the Museum Jumanji Mrs. Doubt fire Good Morning, Vietnam *Dead Poet's Society* 😍 *Aladdin* 😍

[@lloydmills5968]

I'm heartbroken that Bicentennial Man didn't make the list. Far and away my favorite Williams performance. Based on a Isaac Asimov short story, it makes me laugh out loud and ugly cry every time I see it. If you haven't seen it, you owe yourself to check it out.

[@MasterSandman]

Hear, hear!! Well said!

[@veronicaclarke7499]

Agreed, it's an excellent movie.

[@Govindaclass]

[@zaidnail3544]

He also did a character called batty koda from the 1992 animated film ferngully the last rainforest.

[@LucienSabre]

OMG, I love “Hook”. It’s my absolute top favorite Peter Pan movie. 💗💗 Most people barely remember it, and even more don’t know it exists (it’s one of the least know Steven Spielberg movies and is underrated af), but it’s a movie everyone should watch at least once. “Good Will Hunting” is awesome, but it doesn’t hold a candle to Aladdin - Robin Williams _is_ the Genie and the Genie _is_ Robin Williams (literally) - which absolutely deserved the top spot.

[@hattanalshutaifi4587]

It has been 9 years it still hard to believe that Robin William had died I wished he would be still with us today

[@HeartOfHallownest]

Robin Williams may just be one of the greatest actors ever. He could go from a comedic role to a serious one in the span of a minute. If I ever got to see someone that wasn’t with us anymore, it would be him.

[@AhmedKhan-yb1bn]

He will always be the Genie for me. And Mrs Doubtfire was just brilliant. But Good will hunting easily his best performance

[@freddiemolinajr.8397]

Great video Robin Williams was a great actor and was great in mrs doubtfire

[@louisnemzer6801]

Think how amazing someone's career filmography must be so that "One Hour Photo" is only the 11th best on the list.

Hello👋🤗 we all miss Robert Williams

[@sophiaisabelle01]

Robin Williams is such a brilliant actor. We look forward to more content like this.

[@CelebrityGamerTV]

Thank you Robin for Flubber. That was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

[@adamwatson2914]

What a true acting legend, I’m only so very sorry that his career and much more important life, was so brutally cut short, because I think Robin would have kept on acting until he was ancient. My favourite film of his is Mrs Doubtfire because it’s always meant a lot to me in my life and my generation and it shows of his talent for being very funny and dramatically affective and it has a beautiful message of family being where the heart is, and may he rest in peace 💐

[@LeonardoKlotz]

Rest in peace, our modern Pagliacci

[@pamelamays4186]

Robin made us laugh. Made us cry. Scared the bejeezus outta us. When I was a 19 year old college student I bought and proudly wore rainbow "Mork" suspenders.🌈 Robin was a force of nature. The sharpest comedic mind ever.

[@RapFanatic4ever]

Only 2 movies I got into were Mrs Dobtfire and Aladdin when he voiced the genie

[@ChristopherZavalaVlogs]

I really miss Williams. My most favorite movies are Aladdin, Happy Feet, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Birdcage, Jumanji, Everyone's Hero, Robots, Popeye and his stand up comedy specials, Live On Broadway and Weapons of Self Destruction. He made me laugh so hard when I was a kid, and to this day he still makes me laugh and sometimes cry. I even enjoyed Bicentennial Man and Dead Poet Society I'll miss very much

[@AmeliaBerdel-xv3wp]

Yeah me too, he even voice genie from my childhood movie Aladdin

[@Jackie-McCann]

While Jumanji and Popeye were when I first *saw* him, Aladdin will always hold the biggest place in my heart because like so many born in the 80s and 90s, that’s when I heard his voice for the very first time. Genie has been and always will be my favorite Disney character because of Robin’s unforgettable performance. 💙

[@BlazerK1914]

Robin Williams is the most notably known to voice Genie🧞‍♂️ That version of the character from Aladdin is the most iconic.

[@jerroco8388]

There is still a rift in Hollywood after his passing

[@shreyash130]

I really need someone like Robin Williams in my life whose funny energetic and crazy and more importantly motivating R.I.P legend

[@LoveHandle4890]

“The same things that make us laugh, make us cry.” -Big Smoke.

[@pennsimmons]

What dreams may come is higher on the list for me. Especially since I watched it after Robin passed. It felt like a pleasant goodbye

[@gspendlove]

When you're thinking about Robin, it's like he was your eccentric cousin who used to visit every once in awhile and always had something new going on that made his life seem more interesting than yours. "I bought an RV!" Next time, "I wrote a detective novel!" And then, "A rich guy died and left me his toy factory!" And you'd want him to sit down and tell you all about it, because his stories were always so funny. A visit from him left you laughing for days, but he had a serious side that people rarely saw. He dealt with the problems in his life with humor and dignity. He died way too soon, but when you think of him, you laugh more than cry. And you think, "Way to live life, Robin. Way to live life."

[@lexkanyima2195]

Robin had so very well rounded mentality

[@S.Somwaru]

I didn't know Good Will Hunting was in Development Chaos. It was a great movie. It gave Matt Damon and Ben Affleck stardom and the famous line How You like them apples 🍎 🤣 😀 😂 😄

[@lexkanyima2195]

It was a big bang for both guys

[@ldw1281993]

The fact that they have Robin Williams saying "if you're that depressed reach out to someone" will always break my heart

[@michelleallred8521]

"If you're that depressed, reach out to someone" that really hurt my heart

[@mclaine33]

[@joerosadini951]

I truly miss Robin Williams. And I hate people. Literally pretty much every human. So that tells you the force that Robin Williams was

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

We will miss his laughs.

[@vitotv541]

I really thought Patch Adam's was going to be high on the list. Jack is another one of my favorites.

[@darthstarkiller1912]

Was crying so hard the day he died. Still missing him so much. 😭

[@livvyb3583]

He was in a movie called Jack that I absolutely loved. Not one of his most popular but it’s definitely one of my favorites!

[@mint_marigold1229]

I think a testament to just how funny Robin William was is how the Genie in Aladdin is still entertaining today, even after most of the pop culture references have become outdated. And the Genie also, of course, has lots of heart. The ending of Aladdin when he gets set free makes me tear up every time I see it, in part because of its unintentional meta-commentary. Rest in peace, Mr. Williams. We're gonna miss you, buddy. 💙

[@quitestiger2818]

for me #1 Dead poets Society 🙏🏽

[@LeonardoKlotz]

Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Pagliacci.' Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

[@tired15]

my favourites are dead poets society, good will hunting, jumanji, jack, awakenings and mrs doubtfire

[@nostalgiamostalgia0319]

Mr Williams will never be forgotten. His comic style has left a gigantic impact!

[@porkchoprag777]

The man is so legendary that you can make a top 20 list of your work and Patch Adams doesn’t even make it. 😮

[@AnimationNation2004]

I made a comment about this but Patch Adams and also Flubber are at the absolute bottom of his career. His performance is okay in both but the films themselves are shit.

[@LoveHandle4890]

Hook, Aladdin and Mrs Doubtfire was my childhood ❤ I definitely watched What Dreams May Come too young and I think it gave me nightmares; I’d like to watch now I’m older. I plan on getting the Jack quote ‘make your life spectacular’ with a genie lamp as a tattoo. Robin is so apart of many of our lives. He is greatly missed ❤❤

[@WatchMojo]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@denaspohn5207]

WDMC is my favorite movie. I liked it better than the novel. It is well worth watching. The acting is terrific and the special effects are incredible. It's the kind of a film many people LOVE and others hate because they are so narrow minded and unimaginative that the concept of a Heaven we create for ourselves enrages them. I wonder if Robin's Heaven is a movie set or an Impov Club. I can't imagine him going through eternity not improvising hilarious entertainment. He was truly brilliant re: both comedy and drama.

As genius as Robin Williams was at playing comedic roles, he was amazing as the bad guy in One Hour Photo, and Insomnia. Those movies just showed how great an actor he was. Like the way Jim Carrey played the bad guy in The Number 23. I love when comedic actors turn it around and play evil. R.I.P. Robin Williams, you brought so much to so many.

[@michelleallred8521]

Doubtfire was why Robin didn't play Nathan Lanes in Birdcage. He said he'd done that already. It was hilarious.

[@lexkanyima2195]

Wrong, Robin was pre-Big Momma and Birdcage is more freedom

[@ireneramos]

I rewatched what dreams may come not too long after he died and based on the subject matter of the film, of how his wife dies and how he died in real life, it just brings different emotions and thoughts for that film ♥️♥️
