Old Dogs was probably the worst Robin Williams movie ever made: and I'm counting that horrible romantic comedy with Mandy Moore (where he played the preacher).
God how the mighty have fallen.

The whole "punk kid pwning famous person" shtick is old, but it's always relevant. I wish there were something we could do about the situation.
Ugh, Robin Williams being interviewed by Jimmy Fallon. All it needs is some Dane Cook to make it the most loathsome combination of comedians I can think of. Even videogame discussion can't make me want to watch that video (although being in Canada I'm screwed for using Hulu anyway).
Eh, Robin Williams may not be so great a comedian anymore (at least not in his current movie roles), but I respect his gamer skillz and I've always liked him as a comedian in general. If it was Mike Meyers I might have to throw up in my mouth a little, but Williams is pretty cool I guess.

Jeff Dunham & the entire "Blue Collar Comedy" gang would make this my dream terrorism target.

I had to keep it to my top hitlist to keep from making an anti-comedian rant. Jeff Dunham and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour (Larry the Cable Guy specifically) are definitely up there as well.

Robin Williams' alternate reason for naming his daughter Zelda is that she was named after F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife Zelda Fitzgerald.
i have to disagree with his comedy his movies in the theaters have sucked but his stand up has been good
watch robin williams live on broadway also he has a new one coming i think next week on hbo ill leave my judgements on him till seeing that

Robin Williams is like a lot of stand-up comedians- when he's forced to do schmaltzy flicks, he sucks. Give the guy something with more fo a bite, and I bet he could do it.
Wow, Destructoid's finally posted an article about "You must be in the United States to watch this video".
I've always wanted to see more mainstream coverage about this game. It's one of my favourites.

Yeah, I will sound like an asshat now but I knew that for years. This can't be a news to you guys...or is it?
Edit: I knew that I sound like an asshat for years now. And that Williams named his daughter after TloZ.
I don't think I agree that naming one's child after a video game character should gain anyone any respect. At least not from me.
If I ever have a child that I name after a character in a video game (film and books count too), I should hope that people would hate me.

Didn't see Old Dogs, but I did see Wild Hogs, and that was enough to convince me not to see Old Dogs.
While I still kinda respect Williams, he passed his peak long ago. I certainly don't hate him like I hate Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia and other hacks.

I think Williams has an HBO special coming up in December, I'm hoping it manages to allow me to ignore the crap movies he's been making.
If you've seen the movie "Toys," you know that Williams' recent films have been a vast improvement. Also, LL Cool J.
I don't really like this article either. I mean, Robin Williams is a comedian. You should expect him to tell jokes if you're interviewing him. It's not as though he's a famous firefighter and when he's interviewed he sprays hoses and shit. I'm pretty sure the only funny thing I read is that you went and saw Old Dogs, probably expecting it to be a good movie. You obviously hate Robin WIlliams, why spend the $12 to see him in a movie and waste 2 hours as well?
You totally didn't even watch Old Dogs, and you didn't make fun of Jimmy Fallon yet either.

Where Jimmy Fallon failed on SNL, he shines as a late-night host. His audience participation bits have a lot of energy, he has the most relaxed interviews on late-night (i.e. his guests seem to enjoy his company more than other late-night hosts), and he's even showing off that he may have been holding back on SNL (his impressions are far better here, as is his ability to hold himself during the show). Seriously, give his late-night show a chance. I'm 90% positive you won't regret it.

The knife was plunged into my heart long ago with the Mario Brothers movie.
Hollywood has been slowly turning it every so often ever since.

comment fail by me!:)
this was meant for the KoF trailer.. which I have since commented on. Please read in context, as I am actually quite witty.

I hate to sound like a douche but hasn't this been known for a long time?
I mean, I was totally aware of his daughter's name and it's meaning. I'm sure I heard about it at least some years ago...
Just google it and see how old some of the finds are...

Robin Williams was one of the funniest guys back in his day because he stole jokes from other comedians. He was basically the Carlos Mencia of his day.
Funnily enough, he's also an Evangelion fan, which earns him a combination of my respect and ire (due to my distaste for the fandom's insane fetisisation of Rei).
As for his performance as an actor, if you want to see him in a good movie, check out World's Greatest Dad. It may singlehandedly revise your opinion of the man.

Did you really just compare Robin Williams to Carlos [s]Asshat[/s] Mencia? To much hate in this place.

"Williams is at the "family fun" stage of his career, which appeals to the older generation that grew up with him and now has kids"
Well, as a 30 year old family man, I hardly feel I'm over the fucking hill. At least until someone reminds me that there's an age where things like "marriage" and "kids" and "ew... cooties" seems like the realm of the geriatric.

Eh, call me strange but I like Robin Williams. Like every single other comedian out there he has had some really crappy roles. But, he's a great stand-up comedian and he's had some great roles in film, not all of them being funny either.
Dear Dtoid, you linked HULU video that won't work for any other person that isn't live in US and A, please find a solution for this, thank you.

your reader that can't access any HULU content because he isn't in US and A

Also, I still like Robin Williams. He's not cutting edge like he used to be, but he still manages to be funny from time to time. Didn't think his gaming routine was that bad.
Aw come on, Robin Williams is still comedy gold, as with any other comedian, you have to watch his stand-up.
No, seriously... besides, I bet no one here could pull off what he's done, I know I can't, I'm pretty boring.
One time, I let my buddy play Dead Space, and he found some Line Racks (ammo, if you haven't played) and I yelled "Wine Racks" BECAUSE IM FUCKING HILARIOUS.
He kicked me out of his house. Ok, maybe not, but he wanted to.

Please don't use Hulu anymore? it's only viewable in the us and I don't wanna bother with a proxy just to see it
@FistfulOAwesome
Good job trying to plug Fallon, but I definitely fall into the 10% that absolutely regretted it. Maybe it's not him, though, and I just don't 'get' it. But all I know is that the few times I tried to watch Fallon's Late Night, I was glad I keep all firearms under lock and key.
@Everybody Else
Robin Williams might be doing a fair amount of family movies, but if you think he's completely sold out, you'd be wrong. As mentioned twice before, see 'World's Greatest Dad'. Proof positive that Williams isn't always after just a paycheck.

Those mocking Robin Williams deserve a flogging for such ignorance!
Also a blacklisting is called for. So Matthew Razak and those sheep who joined in, you've been put on notice. >:(
