Jimmy Pays Tribute to Robin Williams

Приколы
Robin was not one in a million, or even a billion. He was just one. Nobody will ever compare to the brilliance that was his comedy or the kindness of his heart,nobody.
**Potter Prefect
Rose Paquet what?
:'( I miss him
+Potter Perfect Technically, everyone's just one.
+smokejc When people say, you're one in a million, they mean that, if there were a million people, no one could replace him or what he did. An average Joe, his work and his contributions can be replicated by anyone. So, to call Robin Williams"one', he means that what Robin Williams has given us, what he has done, can be replicated by no one, to which I second.
for a brief second Robin came back and possessed Jimmy
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Lol. The impersonation was spot on!
I may sometimes despise Jimmy, but that impersonation was really, really good.
Jimmy's standing tribute was the best referenced farewell salute. Chokes me up.
what is he referencing
thedreadedzero the society of the dead poets
O Captain, My Captain!
Dead Poet's Society
Yes
Oh my god, Jimmy sounds just like Robin
+commander392 He is Robin
+commander392 His impression's usually a little better than this, but he was choked up.
Emilyiscool Robin's in a league of his own, he's one of a kind, no one can ever replace him
jimmy fallon sounds like anybody he wants too. better than rich little. check out jimmy fallon and neil young singing together it's unbelievable. also hi david bowie is spot on.
+Jon Davis Yes, he was. Very obviously.
Oh Captain, My Captain you will be missed! RIP Robin Williams.
That Made me just cry sooo much... o captain, my captain
That one got me 💔
❤
thank you boys.
Awesome Robin Williams impression by Jimmy there! He got the voice down and everything!
When Jimmy stood on the desk and said o captain my captain you will be missed I got the goosebumps. RIP Robin Williams
Hi Katie, how are you
Out of all the celebrity deaths that I have witnessed over the years. None of them have affected me as much as Robin Williams. How could you not love the guy? Wherever he is, I hope he is finally at peace.
*****
Either way man, I"m just expressing how I feel. No need to be a jerk about it.
I completely agree with you. my heart broke and seeing his films are so difficult. he was a DAMN GENIUS!
+AVET87 And Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson affected me more.
+JumpSpace FTW no, robin was defiantly the worst for me. He was actually the only celebrity who'se death affected me. Michael was great, but he did not touch people's hearts the way Robin did. He did not make people feel the way Robin did, nobody could do that besides Robin.
Robin williams isnt dead. Hes hiding in the jungle waiting for someone to roll a 5 or an 8
you stole that from a video lol
lol that comment was amazing
so sweet
JUMANJI! Ah! Oh my gosh! :D
Intellegent Moron aw :”) 💔❤️
the sight of jimmy almost crying made me cry....
Jimmy did a SPOT ON impression.
I know right? That was beautiful
Really sounds like Jimmy was about to cry. now, I cry
Mr.Monkeyman -It really did!
He was about to cry.
you cant not watch this without having a smile on your face
A smile in my Face and a tear in my eye
Hannesgamemaster10 exactly
Exactly
i didnt even finnish the video. so no.
I agree with your sentiment, but that's a double negative.
Heartbreaking. "Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary." - Robin Williams as John Keating, Dead Poets Society, 1989.
The movie, and him in it, is freaking perfect
Heyitsjuni97 I couldn't agree more. x
Heyitsjuni97
Dwight Jackson
:'(... one of the best genius ever... legendary actor, thanks oh captain my captain...
Jimmy said it right. He wasn't just funny, HE WAS FAST. Quick as quicksilver with his jokes it was unbelievable. Top 5 American comics of all time include Robin and the best would agree. Not to mention his acting was wonderful, so good in fact he won an oscar. Top that.
ahepperl The Flash is faster than Quicksilver
My grandfather always says "I may not have thought he was very funny, but I was always impressed with how quickly he could make a joke. The man was very talented. "
Everyone gets faster on the right drugs
Robin was the only person in the "cinema world" that I truly loved and respected with all my heart. He was incredibly humble, genuine and kind. I won't ever be over the fact that he is not here anymore.
He died on my 34th birthday (August 11, 2014). Celebrating it has never been the same again.
Bianca Burgio same here. The only celebrity that I cried over, still bothers me to this day...you're really beautiful btw ; )
Omg you look soo cute:)
@@legendomai stop.
@@jsmithers. you'll never lose your virginity acting like this, John.
Best tribute to him I've seen so far. You can tell Jimmy is really devastated, he was close to tears in the beginning. Robin touched a lot of lives.
I agree...even though I may be a bit biased because I'm a big fan of Jimmy's too. So much emotion though, you really can tell how upset Jimmy was
Jimmy Fallon breaking up at the front almost broke me. Then the end. The feels. Tagging Sean Badoud to give him some feels.
#tear
I teared up when he did. It sucks to lose someone who made people laugh for a living. Comedians are beautiful people.
1985 Charles Barkley he was replying to me, it's OK. :)
It is rare that I will tear up, but i almost teared up when jimmy was about to
It still hurts as much today as it did on Aug 11, 2014.
Same with Michael Jackson, Alan Rickman, David Bowie, and many more
Same with David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Prince, Alan Rickman, Christopher Lee, Leonard Nimoy, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Chris Farley, Paul Walker, Muhammad Ali, Heath Ledger, Wes Craven, Patrick Swayze, Charlton Heston, and Jimmy Stewart.
+Lucas Kambeitz I'm Fucking sad about the deaths of Alan Rickman Muhammad Ali but all the rest were Strange but they were all VERY nice people but I didn't like them even tho they were all very Sweet people.
And Chris Farley.
He was my fav!
Agreed. :(
Jimmy Fallon does a great Robin Williams impression. And that last part of the video, where he stands on the table, and says, "Oh captain, my captain, you will be missed" was perfect. Rest peacefully, Robin Williams.
I hate that people call it the "cowards way out", you have to be very brave to take ones own life, The fear of the unknown in death is quite scary.
***** Fuck you. Leave the planet.
***** Liberty only when is convenient, right? Is none of your business, so leave it alone, ok?
Now go live YOUR life.
I hope you have a nice one.
The fact that they feel as if it's their only way out is so saddening.
No
Explain that to his daughter, explain that to his son, explain that to his wife. He might be well loved but the decision to check out from life was not good in any matrix of measurement.
WHO DISLIKES THIS?
Oh captain my captain!
This makes me cry. My heart broke when I heard of his death. I grew up watching all of his movies and I cannot tell you how many countless times he made me laugh or put a smile on my face. It's so unbelievably sad that a man who gave such joy to so many millions of people was battling something very dark and depressing. I hope and pray that Robin is at peace now. He will always be remembered!
Hi Jenna, how are you doing
I agree
His last 5 years were awfully tormenting for him
He had such a huge heart and only wanted to make ppl feel joy and when his brain turned against him he kept so much to himself
He must have felt horribly lonely
We all will love and miss you forever Mr. Williams but you will live on forever on film and in all of our hearts
Rest in sweet peace
Robin Williams was my favorite comedian actor :( I love all his movies. I'm really sad he passed away. RIP!!
Guys. Robin Williams isn't dead. He's waiting in the jungle waiting for someone to roll a 5 or 8
Well when we hear jungle drums we will let you know. lol
No he's not! He's in his itty bitty living space!
Nice meme steal :p
*POINTS FINGERS*
Aaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
that was the sweetest
"Oh Captain, My Captain"
We'll miss you
R.I.P. Robin Williams
"He was the Muhammad Ali of comedy." And now we've lost Muhammad Ali too...a testament to his (Ali's) legacy is the fact that his name literally became synonymous with "the greatest." And Robin Williams certainly was "the greatest" of comedy, bar none.
All these legends are dropping like flies. Ali, Williams, Prince, David Bowie, etc.
Don't forget Rickman(Snape)
NEW YORK SPORTS FAN don't forget to put Freddie Mercury on There,Steve Jobs, Micheal Jackson,on the top ones and also Ali and Williams and prince sounds much better
Whaha Steve Jobs what a fucking joke.
Are all your legends entertainers and sportspeople? Why don't you care about scientists, engineers, freedom fighters and legislators that actually help to restructure society to be better?
ajnode you're weird dude. He can look up to whoever he wants. Besides, he said "etc." which is his way of saying "and more but too many to list", not "and that's it."
At the beggining you can see jimmy wanted to cry so bad, and thats whats so sad about his death. You know you lived a good life you can make a grown man cry because of your death. Robin was one of the best, funniest, and most nicest people ever. And even though this is a shitty and dark world, he was one of the few who made it less sucky and brought joy to mother earth. Something not just anyone can do. Im
Tearing up because i grew up with his stuff. and i wish he could of lived more, just alittle more so that he could see This world being a better place and how he was one of the ones who were the cause of it: Rest in peace Rob's
yes I know why couldn't some one of stopped him at the last minute
Nick Murray i had seen,on tmz i think,that he waited until his wife left the house,and he was alone at the time :(
suzeeqew sad
Heroes are remembered but legends never die
You're killin me smalls
Follow your heat, kid, and you'll never go wrong.
I keep coming back to this video. This, honestly, is the moment that made me respect and enjoy Jimmy even more.
This just made my cry again... Robin was my childhood...
The end when he stood on the desk and said "O Captain my captain...you will be missed" I just broke down. He affected people on such an emotional scale and I don't think anyone realised it. Even if you hadn't watched any of his films/stand-up/shows in ages, you still knew exactly who he was and the smile he put on your face. Then as soon as he passed away it hit like a bombshell. Such a sad sad loss. But lets not dwell on the misery, rather explore the happiness that a single man had given to our hearts. RIP Robin, we ain't never had a friend like you.
I completely agree, I didn't realise how much his death would affect me. The strange thing is, I was thinking about him around the probable time of his death. I was thinking about his inside the actors studio interview and how much he made me smile. Someone else put it so perfectly, that it doesn't feel like the celebrity Robin Williams died, but your cool "Uncle Robin" died. I am crying writing this and I just can't believe that he's gone it just feels like comedy in the world won't be the same again. O Captain, my Captain, thank you so much.
For those saying did we know him personally. No. He was funny and a great actor .Bringing joy to people. He was part of many people childhood. We don't need to know him personally to feel sad about his passing.
My heart is just going off at seeing Jimmy cry and then at the end where he stood up on it. I miss Robin so much.
It's already 8 months of when he died and I still can't believe and process in my mind that he's gone ;(
***** Along with severe depression and alcoholism, the breaking point for him was that he was diagnosed with early stage Parkinson's disease.
Joey Esguerra Actually what broke him was the dementia that he nor anyone else knew he had. They found out during the autopsy that he was suffering with it which caused a lot of the paranoia. Paranoia can make your brain rationalize suicide and other things and well we see what happens.
Lets Remember him as the man he would want us to remember him by. Lets remember him for all the times he made us laugh.
Am not a Fallon/Tonight Show fan, but I heard about his tribute to RW & wanted to see it for myself. I was impressed at how Fallon spoke of RW, and it was obvious that he was feeling very emotional. But at the end, when he stood on the desk and did the "Captain, my Captain" quote from "Dead Poets Society," I felt tears running down my cheeks. Fallon is a class act, as was the late Robin Williams.
Pause it as 1:56, idk why but there's something about that image that looks beautiful
i know what you mean
D Ramo I just now paused it there, and I see what you mean.
If they make a movie about his life - which they should - that'll be the poster.
IKR? When I saw that shot, I immediately thought that it should be featured in a documentary about him. You know, while the narrator is saying something like "The people loved him" they play that shot in slow motion...
I hope that’s something like what he saw when he entered heaven. He deserved it.
(If you don’t believe in heaven, that’s fine but please don’t be a jackass about it)
what a force of nature. i keep coming back watching those old clips. they feel me with joy
Jesus Christ, people. Let him mourn how he sees fit. He's not trying to take the spotlight. He's paying homage with his impressions. Get off your high horses.
Unfortunately there will always be haters :( that's the internet for you! Jimmy is such a kind-hearted person, I can't believe so many still think he's fake! I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy broke down in the commercial break...even in the monologue he looked a little 'misty eyed'
"Impersonation is said to be the highest form of flattery"
Your a low horse... one of those teacup ponies. Your not fast and little girls want to brush you.
That was mean, I apologize...
***** Sweet grammar, brah.
Hi 😌, how are you doing
I can't stand the youtube comments system format. Why are all the negative asshole comments with 15 trollish likes ALWAYS the ones at the top, and the supportive thoughtful comments with 300 likes always buried under them?
Because negatives stir up many more emotions and get much attention. The computer is set to count negatives and give them the top place.
AMEN
because google decided that instead of actually improving youtube, they would rather force google + down our throats which required gutting the old, elegant comment system.
Exactly! Sharing your grief here!
cspj12 Agreed!
But yeah, he will be missed! His acting and humor touched many, many lives.
Robin was the kind of person who would light up a room the moment he walked in. He brought so much happiness, laughter and smiles to people in the end I wish he could have brought that to himself. Robin you will be greatly missed :_(
No words because words are insufficient to honor Robin Williams. Only standing ovations, tears, smile and laughing
O Captain, My Captain. You will be missed!
Beautiful, Jimmy. He will be greatly missed.
Over two years without the genius. He is still missed.
Keep revisiting this video just to hear the amount of sadness and respect in Jimmy's choke at the very start of this. If Jimmy's struggling, Robin truly must have been something else.
I don't care what others say. ....He was a good man.....A man who lifted the hearts from young to old....through his acts. For that....I salute him. Rest in peace Mr Williams.
Im ten he is my 3rd favorite actor
Mozzarella Mobster ps Great speech
Mozzarella Mobster kid talks to his self
CrazeAnimations8 I was talking to Vinceswaren
He was an inspiration for me and many others. He will be missed but not forgotten.
Do you know how hard he tried not to cry as hard as he could. He was just trying to be funny so he could distract himself from crying
It’s understandable by the way jimmy does look like a sensitive person and it’s shocking
@@alexciraco4302 still is and I agree
That was the 1st time I actually cried about a celebrity dying. Robin Williams was such a huge part of my childhood and growing up. He starred in so many of my favorite movies. A true comedic legend and his dramatic roles were pretty awesome too. Sad to think how a lot of comedians use their humor to hide their pain. Wherever you are Robin, I hope that you have found peace. R I.P
Hi Danica, how are you doing today
That was an incredible Robin Williams impersonation! Robin himself would've been moved by what Jimmy said and... With tears in his eyes. He obviously cared for Robin and will actually, truly miss him. I appreciate the sincerity, unlike what you've been getting from most news reports or other show hosts on the subject.
I would bet Jimmy has more of a chance to have a connection to Robin than "xyz interview correspondent" on CNN. Yes I know it was a decision that altered lives in a grizzly way but to say he wasn't thinking that isn't clear and more than that doesn't change history no matter how much you try
Agree!!
My most favorite Robin William's moments are Flubber, Mrs. Doubtfire, Night at the Museum, Jack, and his appearances on Whose Line is it Anyway, PURE 24k GOLD
Man, I almost forgot about Jack. That was a great and unusual film. I haven't seen it in over a decade, though.
Has nobody seen old dogs!!!
EAZYL 313 HAS NOBODY SEEN JUAMNJI. favourite childhood movie. R.I.P
Sally Smith UGH, my younger sister was (still is) OBSESSED with that movie. She watched it so much that it's one of the few Robin Williams movies I don't care to see EVER see again, lol. But Jack, Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting... yeah, I'll be renting those soon.
I watched The Bird Cage last weekend. SO Funny. Even better now that I live in San Francisco and am old enough to get the jokes.
It's been 8 years and it still hurts.
Almost 9 years but yeah it hurts❤❤❤
I can’t heal over his death, almost 10 years, and I’m still in pain over his passing. I miss him 😭
Such a sweet tribute. Love Jimmy's impression of Robin and Robin's standup was insanely awesome
I cant believe how disrespectful all of these comments are.. makes me sick
why is every one calling him coward?he didnt want to live so he took his own life now he is at peace! he didnt hurt anyone he just wanted to end his misery its sad but let him rest in peace.
What about the family he left behind? His wife, and his two children? The millions who loved him as fans? Are they not hurt by his decision?
Perhaps cowardly is not the best descriptor, but it is most certainly selfish and in the overwhelming majority of cases the suboptimal choice. It's the worst decision anyone can make, but it's no reason to disrespect the dead. He was certainly a great man and he will be sorely missed.
he's been fighting this for years and he finally couldnt take it anymore. his family will be fine they'll get though this just like other famliys do.
I would never quote or say that because's if there's really is a hell he's isn't at peace since suiciders go to there and if there isn't well, he isn't really at anything
Cordy Coleman sure, but of all the possibilities of an afterlife (which alone is a stretch)…"hell" is not exactly likely
He is not a coward but please don't rationalize suicide
A good and respectful farewell.
I watched this more than 30 times since the past year, I have to tell you this is the best tribute that was given to my hero on TV
With all the bad stuff going on in the world today its very sad to see one of the good guys leave us.
RIP Robin. x
Am I the only one who just can't believe Robin is dead? Like I know he is, but yet right now he feels more alive than ever. Idk, just my weird opinion.
I feel exactly the same way!
MusikIsmIdrug I still can't get the idea that he's gone out of my head :(
You're not the only one... my brain still hasn't processed the information... it's like he's has been *always* there... and I'm pretty sure to say he will always be there.
Agreed, I have never cried over a celebrities death but this one got me.
You're not alone. His death is hard to accept and it's almost as though we're all going to wake up from a sick dream and everything will be back to the way it was before Monday. The way it should be. I pray that his soul is finally at peace and he is smiling again. Smiling on the inside and over everyone he loved and touched in some way.
Oh captain my captain you will be miss..
Been watching his interviews and stand up routines all day, finally hit that he is gone. We will never see another like him. We miss you Robin Williams. May you rest in peace and in the arms of angels. x
I'd love for them to release the 16 hours worth of taping they did for Good Morning Vietnam. They let him loose in the studio and picked out parts they used in the movie. For Aladdin there is 23 hours worth of grafting material.
+Denise Eberle The pitch for Aladdin was they animated one of Robin's stream of consciousness standups as the genie and presented that to the execs.
He still doesn't seem like a guy that would commit suicide, I still can't believe the news. Sad.
It's awful, but there's no such thing as "the kind of guy who would" do this - suicide can come seemingly out of nowhere. It doesn't make it hurt less though.
***** I guess that's how depression works. Sadly, at times you don't see the cracks in the person until it's too late. Much like Phillip Seymour Hoffman not too long ago.
He doesn't seem like the guy who would commit suicide because he didn't. My intuition tells me he didn't. Like many other supposed "Suicides" and "Drug Overdoses"...in "Hollywood"...one day you will find you why.
Why did he commit suicide in the first place?
Askar Orynbai - Uly He was depressed and supposedly there was drugs in his system, It's kind of like how Kurt Cobain killed himself, except Robin didn't use a gun.
Probably the BEST tribute to Robin I've seen. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, and Robing would have LOVED Jimmy's impression. Plus, the standing on the desk at the end was a FANTASTIC way to end it. Those who have seen the movie, know how right that was!
Good show Jimmy! Keep it going!
One of the few people in the world I actually shed a tear for after they had passed. Thanks for all the fantastic memories sir.
theres only 3 celebs who have passed that really hit me in my core. robin williams, allan rickmen and david bowie.. those really got me.. the ending to night at the museum 3 never fails to bring a tear. same story with snaps backstory reveal and life on mars. 2016 is a really shitty year...
Perhaps Robin Williams' tragic death will open up more dialogs about the terrible disease that is depression. Maybe some of the stigma will be removed. Maybe his death won't be in vain.
This made me full on cry, Jimmy. Absolutely loved this heartfelt tribute.
The end dude.... i cried so much
Very concisely and eloquently put Jimmy.That is also one of the roles I loved the most that he performed. Rest in peace, Oh captain, my captain.
That was a very sweet tribute. Maybe the impression was untimely, but it came from his heart. He meant well.
Why would you say it was "untimely?" I thought it was spot on, and I laughed. I thought it was super sweet. I must have not seen something you saw in the impression.
The point I got out of it was "I loved this man, I've watched him, and been inspired by him like comedic scripture to a point where I can recite what he created. Because it is worth reciting." Ever heard of imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Christ.
Ryan Strange I also loved that he used "youtube" as a verb to "youtube his old stuff" along with Seth Meyers talking about watching tv shows of his old sketches in Blockbusters. :) loL
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"
En
He was very loved by his family and wife. He had suspected bipolar disorder, depression and severe alcoholism. He had been into treatment centers for these problems many times. He used to talk about the sound of his alcohol bottle jangling around as he walked down the street to go have another night of binge drinking. Behind his eyes, there lay a sad man who self-medicated. Life is truly ironic in that sense... that a man who brought so much joy was really so depressed inside. He did not take his life, his mental illness's did (metaphorically). :-(
Yep
He gave so much away of himself to others that he ran out of that magic for himself, and his depression was patiently waiting and it finally got it moment and now he is gone.
"Japanese people are going 'wheeoo' - WOAH.
.
.
BELIEVE!"
genius
+Frank Brunetti 1:48
I think he was poking fun of televangelists.
Frank Brunetti
I interpreted it as a joke on the light appearing, like it was heavenly.
I couldn’t stop laughing when the lights came on and he says “BELIEVE!!!”, so quick, a natural genius.
Much respect to Jimmy Fallon for his handling and tribute to Robin Williams!! He completely proves night in and night out why he replaced Jay Leno!! Carry on Jimmy.........
Very nice tribute
Actually made me shed some tears. Choked me up seeing Jimmy nearly breaking down.
Oh Captain, My Captain.
We miss you!!
1yr Robin Williams, never forgotton
One of the most touching tributes to Robin I've seen - thank you.
Bravo, Jimmy. I don't have the words to describe how truly meaningful this was. All I can say is
Bravo, Jimmy.
“Oh captain, my captain...”
*instant tears*
i'm suddenly missing Robin today, which is weird since I've never met him. But he's in my heart... I've grown up with him... and at this moment in time... the world misses him, and is in need of someone like him. Rest always in peace, Robin. Hopefully, shining in one brilliant star above
Fantastic tribute Jimmy, great to see that old footage
if any guest on a show did that now it'd be considered 100% cringe, but when Robin did it, it was hilarious. I'm still so sad about this, and for people saying he 'doesn't deserve praise' cause he killed himself. 1. its ''suspected'' suicide and 2. I'm pretty dam sure if a close family member or friend of yours killed themselves you'd have hell to pay for anyone you heard saying negative things about them so SHUT THE HELL UP.
This man was amazing, A huge part of my childhood in terms of movies. From Genie of the lamp to the Leader of the lost boys in Neverland.
It takes a lot these days for me to find comedians/actors funny and Robin makes me laugh every single time.
He will be sorely missed, and without a doubt never. EVER forgotten.
Bangarang Robin Williams. R.I.P
Thanks for saying what many are feeling but not saying...the media somehow 'confirmed' this suicide within 24 hours when we know there's a lot more to this and it doesn't even make sense. He was killed in this 'apparant' suicide'. He did not kill himself, he's not that type of person and many people know this deep inside.
Robin had numerous battles with depression and different damaging addictions so, unfortunately, this can be the end result if on isn't watched carefully. It doesn't help that people simply don't understand depression. Even when you have everything, it can feel like you have nothing. Sometimes you get to the point where nothing matters, nothing you do changes anything, nothing anyone says changes how you feel; it is a dark and disturbing place and sometimes there is no way out and you're willing to do anything to make it all stop. I really wish Robin didn't feel the need to go that far and I wish he wasn't so miserable.
On the other hand, I'm wondering (and this is a really unpopular opinion/though), if this really is what he wanted. Maybe he felt he had done all that he could; his family was well taken care of, I'm sure he had made enough money and had royalties that will continue to take care of his wife and children, he has done an insane amount of things with his life, and maybe he was just done. There was no more he felt he could or wanted to do. When you get to that point, when you truly and honestly feel that there is nothing left to live for, perhaps making an exit is for the best? Especially if you're going to be miserable for the rest of your life? I don't know. One day, perhaps, we will find out, but in the meantime, I love you, Mr. Williams. See you on the other side.
At the end of the day it still doesn't make sense just because a supposed justification is made. Many people feel this inside.
B Mcgee
I'm sorry. But I'm not questioning whether or not Robin Williams had depression. Or that someone who seems happy on the outside can feel like killing themselves. I'm actually suggesting more than that which doesn't only have to do with Robin Williams but high profile celebrities who die from either suicide, drug overdose or other accidents in "Hollywood". People call this a conspiracy...but I know there is something more going on that the people are not privileged to in the mainstream media. That is what I meant and was actually suggesting. Not on depression alone. I'm sorry that this was not clear. Of course I have my own beliefs like everyone and until people see this come out in some way they may not accept it as the Media is so good at their 'job'.
He killed himself but it was the depression that made him do that, it is time to face depression as a disease as dangerous and destructive as a cancer, 'cause that's what it is.
He died because he was sick, end of story, no one can blame him.
Oh Captain, my Captain, you have a specia place in our hearts!
“Oh captain my captain…you will be missed.”
these words will never not hurt and impress me at the same time
You could tell he(Jimmy) was sincere.
O' Captain my Captain, R.I.P
we will never see another robin williams in our time
true that.
Obviously, because he died.
rb hws I'm not being an asshole? It's just rather obvious.
well that would be weird wouldnt it?
You never know what you've got til it's gone... I miss this man beyond belief.
In 11th grade English our teacher had us watch Dead Poets Society. The movie made an impression on us and we decided to wait until one of the last days of class to surprise our amazing teacher. Around 10 something I was to stand up on my desk and have everyone follow suit and then say, "O Captain, my Captain" together. She got emotional, we got emotional, and the end of this clip got me emotional all over again. R.I.P. Robin Williams. You were a great man and you will most certainly be missed.
I did not know him; I have never talked to him; I have not felt what he must have felt; I only saw things, he did, heard things, he said and read words others or he himself wrote on him. Does this vindicate my mourning his death? Yes!
Should I mourn the passing of numerous faceless, nameless others who died with him this instance? Yes and I do, every day.
*Alas, more importantly, his grief and his demise and the grief and demise of others call out for our compassion and love lest their torment was in vane!*
I wished I knew him, I wished I had talked to him, I wished, I had felt what he had felt, I wished, I had touched his soul as he had and has touched mine, so that I could allay his pangs, brighten his days and just give him comfort in my strong and loving embrace.
Do not walk by if you see somebody cry!
Do not walk by if you see somebody bleed!
Do not walk by if you see somebody starve!
Do not walk by if you see somebody who is a famous actor but feels alone in his heart, so alone, that he was willing to die in agony!
Reach out to your neighbour, let him and her, animal or human being, feel your love and empathy lest no-one must suffer and take his or her life alone!
*Be the light, you want to see! Be the love, you want to receive! Be kind, social, modest, clement and act in the name of love.*

I truly miss Robin Williams
So Sad ! What a Guy, EVERYBODY loved Him, including Myself, R.I.P. There will never be another like Him .

The poster should have just disabled comments here, sad to say. People just want to take the time to share in the happiness the man brought into their lives...all of our lives. His personality made the world feel like we knew him personally. Those who made negative comments here, if you knew anything about his philanthropy, maybe you would have kept your negativity to yourselves? What have YOU done lately to better your world, your community...your personal relationships? I read somewhere that he was good friends with Christopher Reeve. As he laid in his hospital bed after that riding accident, paralysed and ready to give up on everything, he said it was Robin Williams who brought him out of himself, making him laugh and giving him the strength to move forward. He was a good man...everyone felt that, especially his fans. Nonetheless, there are unfortunately always miserable people that feel the need to make hurtful comments, further alienating everyone and making folks feel worse. Sad.
This! Thank you!
Beautifully put, this is why they shouldn't disable the comments!
cauzin diem Not sure if trolling or simply ignorant
cauzin diem, depression is mental illness. Rationale is a moot point when you're in such a black hole with sadness that you can't even find the strength to get out bed for days on end. Maybe you should do a little research on the subject first before offering public opinions on something obviously unknown to you.
Said Parker I heard those exact words this morning on a podcast I listen to. It's ironic too that comedians are the ones that are the most troubled.
Oh Captain, My Captain. ❤️
You could tell and see the genuine emotion and Jimmy that he had and love for Robin it was wonderful
met the man on 2 different occasions here in Vancouver. Once at the RV wrap party. He stayed on the dance floor over 2 hours,danced with every woman that was there without taking a rest. Was a true gentleman. I personally told him his work was brilliant! He was so humble and thank full. Bless you Robin,,,,,,,
