While I liked Robin Williams in the few serious roles he played, in my opinion he stunk as a comic. I am not a fan of the ADD shtick type of comedy.

To each his own, I guess. I thought he was brilliant. And he had Joe Biden pegged back in 2009.

I'm glad you posted this, because I was thinking of posting the same thing about Robin Williams. As a stand-up comedian, he sucked. You couldn't understand what he was talking about. But he played some good roles in the movies.

I agree with you on Robin Williams. I also never liked the comedy of Johnathan Winters, who was one of his mentors... They both had to try too hard for a laugh, constantly doing dumb ad libs instead of having funny material.

The only thing I remember liking him in was “Moscow on the Hudson”. I found his break out role Mork in the TV show “Mork and Mindy” tedious at best. Everything else was pick up a book or change the channel.
