Robin Williams: Live On Broadway

Oh man,this stand-up performance is almost too perfect.i grew up & was born in 1990 so I remember all of the movies Robin Williams was in that I loved as a kid (Toys,Hook,Ms Doubtfire,Flubber,Jumangi)And I always knew he was funny.But let me tell you...this right here isn't for kids ! I saw it when it was first aired on HBO when I was like 13,it was hilarious. Robin Williams covers everything here,from Michael Jackson,Judism,Jesus & Christianity,Drunk people,drug people,Bin- Laden,Errectile Dysfunction,Sex,plastic surgery,etc. The list goes on & on.this is a true genius,doing his thing & it was completely live & on the spot. About 1 and 1/2 hours long,and riddled with profanity and adult humor jokes,so this isn't something your kids should watch,unless your kids are cool & you're cool parents. It's a true shame that Robin is no longer with us but this is the peak of hilarity & he does it all flawlessly in less than 2 hours. This is seriously hilarious and a must not miss. So please,go get thos,it's also available on. 2 cds,but trust me the DVD is better cuz ya don't need to switch discs nod show,plus ya get to see his bodily movement and language. Please don't dismiss it,this is genius hilarity and spot on accurate jokes. I need not say more,get it !Rest in Peace Robin Williams

If I could give this 6 stars, I would. I think one of his best live performances, a virtual non-stop stream of consciousness rant that is absolutely brilliant. Makes you realize even more now that he's gone what we've lost. I don't know how many times I've seen this throughout the years, but I still laugh as hard now as I did the first time I saw it. I've bought other copies for people, too.When I have a bad day, I can just conjure up parts of this in my mind, and it'll make me smile. I will never understand how someone's brain can work that fast and be that funny. After he died, it was fascinating to learn about the man behind the comedy, and about his kindness, You would never think that someone so outrageous would be so introspective, quiet and gentle in real life. He was, and I think still is, one of the most brilliant comedians ever, and this live show was perhaps the best example of that talent. Even watching the kind of dorky Mork & Mindy will remind you of how great his talent was. I can't imagine how the people on that set ever got a take as written from him, or how anybody working with him kept a straight face. Would have loved to seen a blooper reel.This would be a worthwhile investment because it's something you will no doubt watch many times if you are a Robin Williams fan. It never gets old..

Very disappointed in the quality based on the description: “Previous Rental DVD. Cover and DVD are in good condition showing only normal wear.” Not it’s original cover at all but reprinted on printer paper by the library with its logo and stickers on it not in the description. Inner plastic ring is cracked and makes an awful noise in the DVD player. Appears to work and play all the way through but I haven’t had the chance to watch it from start to finish.

I first saw the tail end of Robin's Broadway show on HBO and laughed till I was crying, and I was absolutely thrilled when they put his show on DVD. It is an excellent purchase if you enjoy Williams' quirky, loud, and animated humor.His show, which runs over two hours and has very, very few parts that aren't funny, captures the full range of his comic abilities. You get to see Robin impersonate a monkey, a sexually frustrated ape, a little boy, George Bush, an Afghan trying to call a jihad with a mouth full of peanut butter, a drunken Scotsman, a stoner, a drunkard, and a patient recovering from a colonoscopy. His talent for improvising is obvious a few times throughout the show, most notably when he trips over his own tongue and still manages to turn his bungled words into a hysterical joke.Aside from the show--which any Robin Williams or comedy fan will enjoy--the DVD contains a few amusing extras, most notably a special feature called "noises." This tidbit captures all of the various noises that Robin makes throughout his two hour show and condenses them into about five minutes. Needless to say, this is the funniest thing on the DVD.Also included is an interview with the director of the show. This has its funny moments and sheds some interesting light onto how the show was produced (it actually didn't start out how it was intended to), and gives us a glimpse of Robin off the stage, but it is cut short, making it a relatively boring special feature after you've seen it once ("noises," on the contrary, can be viewed indefinitely).The producers of the DVD also included a five minute clip of Robin cracking jokes in the minutes before he was to go onstage. It gives us another glimpse of just how funny he can be without rehearsed jokes, but it falls short of greatness and can only be viewed once or twice.In short, if you enjoy the energetic style of comedy that Robin Williams exudes, or if you just want to laugh out loud about the absurdity of contemporary events, don't hesitate to add this to your collection. For a more intellectual and original show, however, I highly recommend Eddie Izzard's "Dress To Kill." (90/100)

Robin Williams at his best...Great remembrance in his good days.Here is a link to the exact deal that I got... https://amzn.to/3yKGMTLYou could even break out your VHS player and watch it on that!

Total brilliance......see a master at work....Robin Williams is still missed by officianados if excellence.....he was a comedy great.......NANU NANU!

holding the mirror up to our 'un-reason'( i paraphrase -As Robbie Burns wrote200 years ago-''Oh would the power the give us the gift to see ourselves as others see us'.....Robin Williams did that..... in spades....and paid the price of the sensitive soul in doing it.

oh my god! he nearly made me blush! brilliant ,the man was above the rest.

So funny, you will laugh from beginning to end, Robin Williams and is classic stand up

Got me through some real tough times honestly impossible to watch without crying with laughter
