  • Robin Williams isn't a talent. He's a pathologically needy, manic ham.

  • Yo, BBC, I'm really happy for you. Imma let you finish. But CNN is the greatest news broadcasting channel of all time. Of all time!!!

  • WOW, robin williams has some freaky hairy arms!

  • @ovejocke MAN ARMS!

  • He's much funnier with cocaine.

  • Never liked him that much but holy shit that was incredible, I never knew he was so talented. Seriously Impressed

  • 2:03, Is that gary bueasy?

  • That bit about Google's new employees is hilarious!

  • Terrible films, brilliant comic.

  • This is Hilario..... LOL

  • @butchermachine i've never found him funny either.

  • this might have been fixed but still nice

  • He has such a quick powerful mind!

  • @cydonia21 yeah, everytime he's on some tv show he does the same thing. i think he cant help it...its awesome. :]

  • Hahahahah! What a Champion!

  • I love how he got away without saying yes at the end.

  • I just close my eyes and pretend its Genie telling the jokes. Instant funny.

  • @InfernoOmni HOLY SHIT

    MIND BLOWN

    I NEVER KNEW

  • When a comedian can improvise so well on the spot, you know that they are a true genius.

  • beard?!

  • He's simply a natural born entertainer. Truly a legend.

  • Want to like, but it's at 1337 likes...

  • @bunk2243 I second that motion

  • Robin Williams is fukin awesome.

  • this is something Michael Scott of the Office would do

  • Being impromptu there were a lot of attempts that fell flat, but there were a few really funny throw-ins there. Hatching new employees got a laugh out of me.

  • @sparrohawc

    He has my respect though, it's hard to just get one laugh from an impromptu performance when you have such little material to get in such a short amount of time.

  • the tech guys probably took extra time fixing the problem to do these people a favor

  • Yo BBC, I'm gonna let you finish but...

  • I wish he was my uncle or something...

  • Not funny, sadly.

  • @danielkellydoran dude this is hilarious

  • A gentleman and a scholar!

  • Even though Robin Williams is baller as hell, modern comedic style has ruined me; it seems I can't laugh at jokes unless they are utterly contrived, make obscure references, and are completely obscene.

  • @AstrotardJones There isn't a difference. What you see today is somethign that has been rehearsed so much it is polished. What you saw in this video was a raw moment that was completely off the cuff. If it were planned he would have been doing shows for months testing the material and not have that deer in the headlights thing going on. He's a pro by anyone's standards, even from more contemporary comedians.

  • EDDSWORLD

  • @andrewthebestes Nope...Chu...SHUT THE FUCK UP! Nobody cares who sent you here!

  • Brilliant.

  • Robin Williams is so chill

  • Cool that he did it impromptu and stuff. I don't find him funny at all though. Like, not even slightly amusing. Don't dislike the guy at all, it just really baffles me what people find funny about this.

  • @AIexandar

    Yep, seems like a nice guy and all, but i don't think i have ever laughed at anything he has done or said. Still, good of him to do this.

  • @HugeInsect I did love his movies when i was younger though. I remember watching Mrs Doubtfire as a kid, great movie.

  • @AIexandar really? off the cuff like that? the man is brilliant.

  • @AIexandar how sad you must be without comedy. I say this because to not find this funny you have to be the most droll person alive.

  • @Mojar88

    You think he is without comedy because he does not find this funny, and then you say he is the most amusing/comical person alive?

    Am I missing a joke here? And does this have to do with having a 'Ray William Johnson' subscription? Either way, I'm a bit confused.

  • @bplus1plus1 He could just have a peculiar sense of humor.

  • @whatsupfizznugget

    Could very well be yeah.

  • 2:01 Soul Reaper

  • 2:03 for completely unimpressed woman

  • He did them a favor, avoiding an awkward silence. I thought it was entertaining and funny.

  • He might not be able to act, but you gotta hand it to him, he can make a good joke.

  • @SmellyJelly4MyBelly Have you ever seen "What Dreams May Come"? He used to be a REALLY good actor.

  • @WolfVlog Have you seen "Father of the Year"? He's still a pretty good actor even if that movie is a bit...much. lol.

  • haha, i love robin williams

  • Good actor, not as great as a comedian.

  • How much? A lifetime supply of razors. That's how much they'll pay you.

  • the only joke here is robin williams career

  • @thaprecepta Yeah what a joke his career is. He only won an oscar two emmys four golden globes and five grammys. This dude is getting paid and has been for decades.

  • Human cow at 2:02. She's really working that cud.

  • @GunstarHer0X FUCK I CANT GET THAT BITCH OUT OF MY HEADDDDDD

  • @GunstarHer0X Best comment on youtube right now. I fucking lost it.

  • @GunstarHer0X also @2:15 there is a human horse.

  • @eastendthug360 He didnt die?

  • @Nicholasryan17 check the news

  • @Nicholasryan17 Obvious troll is obvious. Pay no mind to that guy.

  • Get a look at those arms...

  • he seems to have a knack for just turning up places and doing uninvited improv - that's not to say he isn't funny.

  • hold your tongue and say "black apples"

  • comedy genious

  • Robin Williams is so awesome its hard to find words to describe it.

  • Legend

  • His arms are hairy cause hes a man.

  • @MrManboobie Just like Jon Stewart

  • Greatness.

  • Is the iWife compatible with Mac OS 10.6? I'm thinking of ordering one.

  • Sergey Brin $16.7 billion 

  • "all that money and no dental plan"

  • Robin Williams probably is the nest at improv. But id you miss him at the start of a run, you might not get the puncklinrs

  • 2:04 That woman looks pissed

  • @warriorofwrestlingv3 What. A. Biatch.

  • lol woman @2:02 is disappoint

  • if you don't like Robin Williams something is wrong with you.

  • that's talent right there.

  • get off Robin, for gods sake.

  • the man could just stand there and these people would laugh. he was funny but c'mon now

  • Wow she really wants that gum to feel pain.

  • haha what sad boring place it would be without people like robin Williams!! what a Legend

  • if your a stiff and say "ah, i don't find him funny in general blah blah blah" then you need to shoot yourself, the world doesn't need ungrateful kill joys that obviously have no sense of humor such as yourselves.

  • he's improvising the entire time - genious.

  • MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY MINUTE MINORITY

  • Polite and subtle way to get him off the stage at the end. lol

  • @channelislander Yeah, I thought it was kind of rude.

  • What a legend!

  • Jesus,ive got all his albums,and the song Angels is awsome,but i didnt think he was a joker like this.

    He looks a lot different than he sounds too if you know what i mean.

    Now he is back with Take That,he might stop being like this on stage,and actually sing some hits.

  • @125or200px either an epic fail or an epicly bad joke :D

  • @125or200px

    Erm... That's ROBBIE Williams who's the singer. This is ROBIN Williams, live wire and generally hilarious bloke. ;-) An easy mistake to make out here on the internet...

    I can just imagine the stage crew geting screamed at :- "Get him a mic! Get him a mic! GET HIM A DAMN MIC!!!!!!!"

  • hes gonna be 60 yrs old wish him a happy 60th birthday.

  • Question did he come back the next day?

  • The lady at 2:02 looks like a lama chewing.

  • Robin Williams doesn't make guest appearances on anyone's show.

    People give their show to Robin Williams, then see what happens.

  • anyone else would've been thrown out of the building.. long live robin williams

  • he makes all those people laugh that means he is special and charismatic person . love robin williams best actor ever :D

  • This is awesome if he just randomly got up like people say lol.

  • they shoudve let him go on.

  • What was he even doing at this place?

    Not that I mind, but why was he even there?

  • Stupid slag alert at 2:02

  • @Jizzle76 It's very hard to chew gum and listen at the same time.

  • 15 people have no soul

  • that lady at 2.03

    no humor what so ever.....

  • that lady at 2.03

  • OMG... this it what you call comic relief!!! I love it haha

  • eugh that woman at 2:02.. You're getting to See Robin Williams for godsake!! bE HAPPY!!! HE = FUNNY!!!

  • Robin Williams is just a icon in comedy, the man has got it all. Hope he lives forever so he can share and bless us all with his joy and gift of amusing, entertaining and brightning our days. Gotta say it even if it seems corny, ROBIN YOU'RE THE MAN.

  • If Robin Wlliams suddenly shows up, just give him a mic and sit back. lol

  • @guardiangarasu Haha, so true!

  • @guardiangarasu If he's in a crowd, he's usually there to steal jokes.

  • He makes my stomach ache sooooo much....with LAUGHTER! he's just funny...as hell...those people who don't find him funny are dumb...idiots....philistine!!!

  • what's with the zooming in on the one person's face at 2:03 who isn't laughing? haha what the fuck it's like LOOK SHE'S NOT LAUGHING AAAAAHHH JUDGE CRITICIZE *zoom in camera*

    oh wait what? you can't judge a person based on a half-second clip? wtf!

  • 2:03 What the heck. It's like she despises Robin Williams.

  • least funny thing i've ever heard.

  • @alfalfalf101 uptight prick.

  • @PoeticJustice05 No its just not amusing. I. Do. Not. Find. That. Funny.

  • @alfalfalf101 Then. You. Have. A. Heart. Of. Stone. I hope you enjoy your life.

  • @PoeticJustice05 Which of the "jokes" he makes do you find funny?

  • @alfalfalf101

    1. "Technology is obviously working very, there's a guy backstage with a cup going 'NOW.'" They're at a TED conference, with some of the most brilliant minds in the world, responsible for a lot of today's most advanced technologies, so saying there's a guy speaking into a cup backstage is fucking hilarious.

    2. "...then they told me to spit in a cup and take some urine, and told me what my genetic tendencies were." Self-explanatory; he's making fun of them being such nerds.

  • @alfalfalf101

    3. *Someone coughs* "Are you ok? That's the allergies. Be careful, someone will actually have to sample that and come back going, 'We found your relatives.'" Fucking great improv.

    4. "How much money have we raised so far?"

    5. "Is there someone in London going, 'Dear God, what is he doing there?'"

    6. "I have one question for the Royal family, all that money and nor dental plan."

    7. Keep talking behind my back, I just got out of rehab."

    8. "How much?"

  • @PoeticJustice05

    9. "He started in a garage, now owns everything"

  • @alfalfalf101 Remember this is all improvised. Could you make up those jokes on the spot? Could you think of anybody that could come up with such clever jokes on the spot?

  • @PoeticJustice05 Ricky Gervais, Russel Brand, Zach Galifinakas, Stephen Merchant, and the Dalai Lama just to list a few...

  • @alfalfalf101 That's pretty elite company, yet you don't give this man his credit. You have something against Mr. Williams?

  • @PoeticJustice05 Nothing personally against him. I just don't find him very funny.

  • @alfalfalf101 Well you're the first person I've ever heard say that. I still think you have to be pretty uptight to not find this man funny.

  • @PoeticJustice05 Believe me I love a good yoke, but not to this man. He's rather droll.

  • @alfalfalf101 You've never seen his Live on Broadway special? Or his Live at the Met special? Or Good Morning Vietnam? Or any comedy he's ever been in?

  • @PoeticJustice05 Nope. Can't say I'd want to either, after this performance.

  • @alfalfalf101 Ok, so you're judging his comedy based on one impromptu, improvised act at TED? Yeah, I'm done with you, don't talk to me again until you've actually seen some things this man has been in.

  • @PoeticJustice05 Well yes I am. And I am right in doing so. You seem to find this really funny therefore this is him being funny, yet not even a chuckle arises for me.

  • @alfalfalf101 You're not right in doing so. And I thought I told you not to talk to me until you've seen his work.

  • @PoeticJustice05 Actually, my logic on choosing to judge him on his performance in this video is completely reliable. I'm not going to go watch his other stuff because I don't find him funny, therefore it would just be a further waste of time. I'm happy to keep on arguing my point, so if you really want to stop arguing then why don't be the mature one and not talk to me, cos I've got no problem with this conversation.

  • @alfalfalf101 The flaw in your logic is that you assume that all of his stuff is like this. He does things way funnier, things he's prepared, stand-up routines, his movies. But this is all a matter of opinion, because it is comedy, so there is a very good chance you might not like his other stuff, but I still think you have to be very stuck up to not like this. This is funny.

  • @PoeticJustice05 I hate chavs like you. Hail Toffs!!!!

  • @PoeticJustice05 You know what. Like you said comedy doesn't suit everyone. This suits you and you find it funny, that's fine. For me I'd rather die on my chunder than watch any more Robin Williams, but hey, that's just my opinion.

  • @alfalfalf101 Just face it, you belong to a very, very, very, very, very, very, very minute minority that doesn't find Robin Williams funny. This man is hilarious.

  • @PoeticJustice05 it really isn't. american humour is very different to british and others, so it's mainly just americans.

  • @FeebleMuffin I'm British and find him funny.

  • @PoeticJustice05 i am part of that minority, no offence i just don't laugh when i watch him

  • watch this amazing ted williams interview with his mom /watch?v=agMKtGHz21o

  • HONESTLY, Robin Williams is the only guy that ANYONE would let hijack a studio during technical difficulties.

  • @drpool2424 Yes because everyone wants to spend 3 minutes waiting in silence for the technical difficulties to be fixed.

  • @drpool2424 ACTUALLY, he was asking robin to come back because he WANTED him to come back. I mean, he almost yelled "PLEASE". He just came on in the middle of Robin's improv because well, it wasn't an actual scheduled performance. Obviously, the people at TED saw how much the audience LOVED Robin and just went right up and asked him to come back the next day as well. They weren't trying to get him to stop.

  • "would you come back tomorrow?" is British for "Fuck off now, please"

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @kedharf1 That was Chris Anderson, head of TED.

  • With all the geniuses that speak at TED, nobody rivals Robin Williams in comedic genius

  • @KoniaPierdoli Buddy don't, Puertorrican women are hot, but SERIOUS BITCHES, I know I live in Puerto Rico, it SUCKS, the place is crime ridden, polluted, the music sucks and the people are assholes and retards

  • Robin is a bloody manic improv god!!!!!

  • Robin is the fucking God of improv. I would love to hear his stream of consciousness happening inside his brain.

  • The woman at 2:04 WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER?!?!?!?

  • @DJPhiUp She doesn't have humor.

  • Midas Touch of comedy....long time til we have another like him...

  • Robin williams is always funny keep it going

  • this guy can talk for hours and hours .. and all that would be unplanned .. !! Legend !

  • Williams rocks - he takes the nonsense and petty bullshit and levels it so we can all understand it - God Bless comics...

  • @er6789er load of bullshit.

  • @KoniaPierdoli while we are at it, god bless china for the cheap labor. we love you longtime. god bless purto rico. god, those girls are hot. and god bless japan. without you, stuff we do would seem a lot more weird.

  • Robin Williams is definitely the greatest comic who ever lived.
