I also thought his "Elmer Fudd sings Bruce Springsteen" was great.

Yowr widen in my caw,
I tuwn on the wadio,

I forget the comedian's name, but that routine was ripped off from a guy who's biggest routine was cartoon characters doing pop songs. His Popeye and Olive Oil singing, Midnight at the Oasis is a stitch.

I'm glad you wrote that, one of everybody's favorite "Robin Williams bits" was stolen from someone you've never heard of, along with 90% of everything else he does.

He pretends to improv, his improv consists of using his forearm to look like a penis and making an elephant sound.

See my earlier post about about Robin Williams and Dennis Leary.

That routine came from a comic named Mark McCollum who was active on the comedy scene in San Francisco at the same time as Robin Williams.

Sad to say, but Robin has a terrible reputation among comedians because of his decades long habit of using other people's material. When Robin would come into the house it was common practice with comedians to stop using their "A" material until he left.
