Robin Williams on Inside the Actors Studio

[TheDrakenon]

I want him to run for president. :|

[Kevashidaz]

Aaaw, you edited out the best line- after the audience finishes applauding, he turns back toward the host and says in a conversational tone, "so, yeah, it's kind of like that."

[GAKDragon]

@Kevashidaz Or the line, "That's as close as I could explain."

[TheInspirationExpert]

That scarf should be in a museum.

[HaggardMike]

Truly a brilliant man!

[diavarezable]

THere's now word of admiration that could sufficiently express the awe I'm feeling for this man...

[OctoBox]

Robin Williams is the left turn to Charles Manson's right.

[TheCoolProfessor]

Robin is the most incredible comedian ever! He's the Albert Einstein of comedy!

[Ncproductionsful24]

he should have done brave heart with the scarf

[Inphectus]

From now on I will open my microwave just like that!!

[SpaAngel]

LOL!!! I LOVE Robin Williams! Man! The stuff he pulls outta no where! :D

[phoellix]

Though i do not quite likw the racial comments, I think he's a genius. A mother gives birth to a son like this onve in a century. I cannot even imagine what is going on in hos brain during the performance!

[fayell]

Robin Williams attacking Iran when the Saudi Arabia corrupt royal family and nut case "scholars" are the ones oppressing women with a deafining silence by American Government who are best buddies with those corrupt un-elected nutters. Robin Williams has gone down in my estimation for falling for this pro-saudi anti Iran propaganda crap and trying to spread it using his crazy comedy.

[vanglail]

i would never wash that scarf

[xander7ful]

What I don't understand is how the host can sit there and not laugh. That is so weird. I know he has to focus on his interview, but he doesn't even chuckle. Maybe that's his personality, but it's rather odd.

[1Bornconfused]

@xander7ful Actually, I think he is chuckling in the background...he's just not rolling on the floor or laughing his ass off like everyone else :P

[OUWATZAHLE08]

yeah iran fuck iran and that state

[ItTastesGood]

Its because of this man that I'm on my career path to voice-over acting. Thank you, robin.

[OFFICIALLUSH]

This man is the most amazing, naturally humorous comedian ever. He absolutely has been blessed with the gift of entertaining.

[jdhathrisen]

His Bruce Lee had me almost literally ROFLing.

[MoltenGoodness]

@Missrosehip sorry. I live in Ohio. MORON

[somedaysdreamers13]

@ 4:11 is the funniest! lol

[deouwehoer]

Hahaha whats wrong with him because hes genuis??

I think it was more likely Cocaine, you know ... because cocaine is a hell of a drug :P

[xander7ful]

@deouwehoer No it's not genius because he came off cocaine. He's a manic-depressive and he won't take meds.  He's afraid it will take away his edge. Most people with manic-depression are talented like this.

[deouwehoer]

@xander7ful What did I say? .. The same



[chuckiesinlove]

I remember when he was on 'Mork and Mindy' and gotta say he was great back then. Watching him over the years has been such great fun. He's also showed us that he can play the serious roles of which he has given his fans more than they expected from him. I look forward to more of his work.

[Sirkinney]

I'm a black man and I think this guy is the funniest man ever.

[sopretentious]

No one at MTV awards ever thanks Vishnu. LOL

[OlafurNeal]

The woman who owns the scarf is probably thinking "I will never wash this again." or "I am going to frame this."

[Heffsta02]

is this guy like a fucking insane genius or something?

[kazinazakat]

@Heffsta02 i think he is a genius BECAUSE he is insane! aah what a champ!

[7727ize]

What an interview!!!! Genuis!!!!!

[MsMesem]

Car wash charade brilliant

[bunnyhinata12]

New motion Crouching dragon hidden CD

[negiijoon]

Um just a little fact, Iranians don't cover their faces =/

[WOW9521]

WOW! So many thing u can do with a pink scarf. Thank you Robin!

[tradiecrack]

Australian here, Iranian Joke funny as hell, get over your self

[dudemusicspace]

Genius... and yes I'm commenting... and no I'm not American... whatever that comment is all about... I'm British... still genius.

[StrawbarieGashes]

there is Jim Carrie of caurse, but Robin Williams is ROBIN WILLIAMS. Trully the king of comedy.

[nojoke420]

And James Lipton is brilliant for just letting him go.

[blackmii]

that guy has A GIFT!!!

[gdiggle123]

thats amazing that he could do that whole skit with just one prop!! :D

[inputacting]

That shawl just became her favorite accessory.

[phillozoph50]

Fabulous!

[SorasScarz020]

i guess 3 people dont know comedy when they see it or a master at work

[TheNelloangelo]

XDDDDD AMAZING!

[xEricTheGothx]

gandhi jeans, they come in size 1 and below

[contact1araya]

he still dishes out the ghanddy crap, dude its time to renew the old repertoir!!!

[SmokeMonster87]

@contact1araya It's also time to learn how to spell Ghandi

[DIZAHSTER]

@SmokeMonster87 i believe the proper way to spell it is "Gandhi" .

whose the idiot now.

[born2balive]

Notice the faces of a few of those behind her. Despite the uproarious laughter all around them, they are NOT laughing. They're wishing this woman would just shut up.

[jsfreak70]

He is a Genious!! I love and study astrology and Robin is a Cancer...Cancers have a great intelligence and wit that sometimes goes unnoticed. In Robins case, I am so glad he became a comedian because we actually get a chance to experience his expression of what is really going on in that brain of his...Love it!!

[puremongrel]

octapus balls ...never heard of that one......

[ProcrastinatingGuy]

his brain should be studied!

[Avitalstern]

Are you thinking faster than the rest of us, what the HELL is going on

So true

[sludgedemon66]

@Missrosehip what does that have to do with anything?

[popsickel7]

@sludgedemon66 It means that not being American giver Missrosehip permission to leave out parts of speech in some sentences, as well as produce spelling errors without having to check the spelling or grammar. See, Missrosehip thinks that he/she is better than all Americans.

[adam8xz1]

@sludgedemon66 He's saying that Americans are stupid and that people who think Robin Williams is a genius are stupid and therefore have a higher likelihood of being American.

Robin Williams might be fast but his jokes are so repulsively simple and unstructured that it would be difficult for anyone with an IQ over 115 to find them entertaining. The only reason people find this funny is because they have been conditioned by there media to find humor in and only in "jolt" driven "comedy".

[adam8xz1]

@adam8xz1 EDIT: he is a good actor though

[adam8xz1]

@adam8xz1 but hes still a racist asshole

[bendystix]

@adam8xz1 At least we are still free.

[hayden50]

@adam8xz1 what?he is a genius you stupid canadian cow

[Shadowsify33]

@sludgedemon66 this comment has received too many negative vote... 7 dislikes ha rich

[TheAlan67]

@sludgedemon66 NOTHING YOU TWAT!!!! JUST NOTHING

[puppyshade]

@Missrosehip i'm not :D

[Zoidus]

@Missrosehip I'm not American and appreciate this a lot! :)

[UnluckilyEnlightened]

@Missrosehip what are you? an uptight Russian Asshole?

[tomrwest]

@Missrosehip I am guessing that you are a moron.

[Cnupoc]

@Missrosehip no they're not. I'm not. And i'm commenting on your shitty comment..

[LuchiiLus]

@Missrosehip

So WHAT?? and you're wrong...

I'm from ARGENTINA!!

[born2balive]

I hate to be a downer...now Robin is a comic genius. However, agents of comedians will often plant a person, usually a woman, with an infectious laugh in the crowd. This both encourages the comedian, and adds to the entertainment experience of the audience, for they are soon laughing as hard as she is.

[VmanChris]

@born2balive that may be true if you're in a live audience, but it was not a woman with an infectious laugh that made my sides hurt, cheeks sore, and burst into tears because of intense laughter.

[renrenpink]

Ever think if they hooked him up to a machine to see what his brain activity is, the needle would go off the meter like a seismograph during an earthquake?

[167ray]

This is all you need to explain why he a comedy genius. A simple thing like a scarf and he turns it into an entire skit....brilliant!

[chino1922]

The funny thing most of the times he dont make sense and still makes us laugh!

[charger19691]

The thing I find amazing about Robin is that for how side splitting funny this man can be, he is also a great dramatic actor as well. A true genius of stage and screens big and small. Truly one of my heroes!

[jettsamm]

This segment with the scarf should be put on a DVD and handed to the students: "This is your whole semester and textbook on improvisation. Study it.. Your exam is at the end of term." Hand down, pure genius. This segment could have won an Emmy for Best Performance by a Special Guest on a Variety show.

[tcmn23sparks]

i love how the spanish matador sounds puerto rican...

[manidar1977]

i stood up an clap as the clip finished. He deserved it.

[JamesJonathon013]

Without a doubt, a genius of comedy!

[ForeverTheGirl100]

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF REFERENCE!

[Stinkyfart]

That woman has the greatest laugh. It's hilarious. Sounds like she's about to lay an egg.

[mrtau]

he is just so full of talent and genius.

[ColonelJadeCurtiss]

"I would like to welcome you to Iran! Help me! Help me now! Don't tell them I talked to you." "I'm very angry that I can't find my own cape." LOL This guy is an improv genius.

[niceguytim]

The crowd is laughing at all of his jokes in this clip because he has been working them for about an hour now so they are all wound up.

Also to see how truely great he is notice this detail as you watch him. He confidently steps right up to the edge of the stage without looking. He has perfect stage presance.

[Thriller94]

uhh buddy, that's not the only reason why they're laughing...

[Zeuszgrl]

He is undoubtedly a Master of Improvisational Comedy !

[SpaAngel]

@Zeuszgrl I know, wow... I mean, was that all outta one scarf? LOL!

[surfdudezuri]

man wth n he is just natural.. like if he needed training for what he is doing on this show.. dam he is a genius :O!

[hullcrush]

Sure, I don't find Robin hilarious. When he goes on talk shows and so forth he uses old jokes from his 80s specials... and he takes lots of movies roles he probably shouldn't. But Improv is his genius. These are acting students, and they know how difficult it can be.

[docume]

hullcrush you wish you had a mind half as quick as his ....

[hullcrush]

I'd have to do a considerable amount more narcotics.

[OriginalHazeBX]

"I would like to welcome you to Iran!..... HELP ME!"

[ritsfata]

@OriginalHazeBX So wrong and yet so brilliantly funny.

[shervman]

I really like Robin Williams I think he's very entertaining, but I don't laugh hysterically at his every single joke like the crowd is doing...is it me or is the crowd just sucking up to him too much as an attempt to be courteous?

[venzenait]

it's the atmosphere of laughter. sometimes you don't have the same reaction when there are people around that are also laughing. happens with me a lot

[Dwslassls]

It's different when you see somebody live. Obviously, it's not at all up-close-and-personal to view this through a tiny window on your computer; if you were actually there, you might be saying something else...it tends to work that way.

[orlandogirl213]

What is going on in Robin Williams's head? is the mother of all questions!

It's like Robin has wheels in his head that turn faster and faster!

[ColinMeloy91]

FREAKING LOVE Robin Williams.

[PappaBrax]

Man he´s amazing. Give him like 2 or 3 props and you have an hour worth of improvised comedy.

[M2345MB]

M2345MB

Robin Williams is truly a Genius"!!

OMG -who could top this"?

[Queijin84]

have you noticed he never answers the question?

[kairandor]

He does, in a sorta of way...after the "Whats going on with you man???"

[DjCaptRob]

Welcome to Iran....HELP ME....LMAO at 4:10...god that is funny

[vroomvroombugatti]

I love how he went on the show and completely took over! nobody else can do what he does : )

I really admire him!

[drinksleepeatfilms]

I love his mad side cackle at 0.30 min!!

What follows is GENIUS!!!!!!!!

[greatestgoalie25]

He made Lipton swear. Awesome.

[drinksleepeatfilms]

Brilliant!

[hakusannioide]

Robin is a modern best actoer.

[yutrojanac]

svaka cast! pozdrav za Robina iz Srbije!!!

[eragon2412]

today we cook octopus balls!

[btoku69]

as you know there are 8 legs so you get 4 sets of balls

[diegopunk]

Ur under amish house arrest !!! hahaa
