Robin was naturally funny. I think he isn’t remembered or lauded as much as he should be, because he died so early in his career. He didn’t get a chance to truly shine.
Lisa C slapstick comedy...overhyped.
Bernie in the early 90s
Get outta here!! He had an entire kids cartoon within 5yrs
He died before he got his payday. Gone to soon. RIP ROBIN
@Domini478 Damn, it would've been big as Space Jam
Robin Harris doesn't get the shine he deserves. Salute to the icon. ✊🏿👑
Mr Say It Loud Steven Cta. No. Hi Good
@Jarrel Ely Robin Harris by a landslide.

Jarrel Ely robin Harris started a trade mark for all these comedians. they all ripped from Harris💯
Jarrel Ely facts💯💯
Don't get me wrong House Party is a classic movie but Robin Harris made it one of the best comedy movies ever every scene he had was funny that "Follow The Drip" line was deadly lmao
Follow the drip, follow the drip!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 esp when he beat kid ass at the end All that Dam Talking 😂😂
Officers in the goddamn law
@Steve Blair yeah
“I don’t give a damn if Marvin Gaye gon’ be there, you won’t!” 😂
Could be the funniest line of the movie......
😂😂😂😂
Every little step you take will be around this room tonight
I don’t care if Michael Jackson gon’ be there…you won’t!
My favorite Robin Harris Line Hands down:
"I'm from a small town called fresh off a cops ass and you making me home sick"
Markus Spencer I thought he said fresh of a ni&&@...
Yeszzzz lol
What u oughta do is boycott that barber that fucked up yo head
Yass
" I wear my ring on the wrong finger, cuz I married the wrong damn woman!" 😂😂😂
Looks just like his pops. Damn
Facts
One Night Stand. Best Comedy Special.
@LANDONS POV stfu you big dummy
Looks like Eric Sermon
Markus Spencer yup, thought I was the only 1 who thought so
He’s on my Mount Rushmore of comedians
We need a movie on the great,to
Bring the masses up to speed.Salute again!
mine too 👏🏽
He was the truth
Facts
@LANDONS POV the key word *MY* you missed, that's their perspective which can't be wrong to that person
RH, wasn't overlooked as the son think. He is still spoken of about his greatness. Just die young before super exposure came.
Exactly
RIGHT
I agree
Right he just didn't live long enough. He wasn't overlooked. We just didn't get enough. He was on the upswing when he passed.
Robin was not overlooked. After about two HBO stand-up specials of his own, and appearances in films (with a prominent feature as Kid's pops in "House Party 🏡", his Bebe's Kids routine earned its own animated film. Robin Harris had blown up before his untimely death. In no way was he overlooked. He had finally earned mainstream success. It's unfortunate, however, that he died soon thereafter. He died two years before the "Bebe's Kids" film, which he provided a voice-over for, was released. That's how soon he passed away after making it to the big time. He was not overlooked.
36 is SO young to die with a talent like his Rest in Paradise Mr. Harris 🙏
Robin's standup and Bebe's kids are cornerstones of black culture. Just wish our greats would see more of their roses alive than on they casket
Terrance Bernard robin Harris was the best stand up comedian in the book
Bebes kids was a true black hood classic me growing up in the hood I seen alot of kids like bebes kids growing up in that environment robin harris was definitely funny man it’s sad he died so early in his career
I don't think Robin Harris was over looked because as soon as he became a lil bit successful, he passed away!... He didn't really get a chance to really shine like that... BUT John Witherspoon is a different story... I'm so mad that they never awarded him for all the things he's done... Now that he's passed on, he's gonna get every award that he should've got when he was alive and it's a damn shame!... Smdh!!!
Well said.
Facts 💯❕
Big Facts 💯
Maximus Prime Bernie Mac ripped from robin Harris tho💯
No I think they both need to be raised up for their talents they both needed to recognised alot more
Sir, your dad was not overlooked. He was the finest comedian of the late 80s until his tragic passing. He was one of the top 5 of all time. Absolutely hilarious!
Robin Harris was "wake up out the bed funny", truly gifted by God. Like he can be funny just living life, that's how raw his talent was. Truly one of the greatest of all time!
Robin Harris has the only comedy album can listen to straight through. My favorite joke is the Piccolo Player 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tiny took me to that church..
Raghib Tyler my favorite joke too my friend
That's an old Rudy Ray Moore joke.
Piccolo player a mothafocka!
YES!!! One of the first comedy albums I listed do during my call center days. I was in tears during the Piccolo Player track!
RIP Robin Harris, one of the greatest of all time 💯🙏🙏🙏
He looks like Robin Harris, but he looks even more like Eric Sermon 🤷🏾♂️.
Lol right
Definitely🎯
😂😂😂
Sounds like him too
Was erick sermon and his mom a thing never heard that
He wasnt overlooked! He was and still is known and respected. He just didnt live long enough to be seen by everyone like people can through social media now.
He has the same Nasal Tone of his Pops.
Why you care Weirdo
@@tsusurflawyer2432 What you talking bout?
@@dfromgarylantasota2439 Why you care about nasal tone weirdo
@@tsusurflawyer2432 he's making an observation kid
Such a great comedian.. always told it how it is, brutally honest and very funny. Never get tired of listening to his comedy. Much respect Mr Harris. Thank you for the much needed laughter and originality.
He was right on the cusp of greatness... he was bout to host def comedy jam.. shoot an HBO special.... bebe's kids was bout to blow up.. but unfortunately he passed away.. rip .. top 10 D or A
Can’t believe he was only “36” when he died 👀
Right smh
Yep he seemed so so much mature. Idk if he looked older or what, but yeah I do remember him being my mom's age when he passed and of a heart attack and back then I remember that being something I thought only old elderly ppl died of.
@@andrearichardson6426 I know that now.As a child, I thought that was something older ppl had, elderly ppl or ppl in their 50s or 60s. I've known ppl my age to have strokes at my age,34, and in their 30's and back when I was in my 20's.
Kid and play sacrifice him for the movie
@@tnsbreezy9012 fax bro, we the only woke ones here
The other day I called my nieces and nephews “Test Tubes Babies” Lol and they was like what that means🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never would’ve thought he was considered unappreciated... He was incredible
"TEST TUBE BABY" -Robin Harris
RIP my guy
Thank you Robin Harris and Ricky Harris rest in peace.
Ricky Harris started my comedy career miss you brother you always looked out for me and definitely dropped jewels and taught me the comedy game 🙏🏽🙏🏽💯👑🤜🏽🤛🏽
The older comics from his pops time def praise Robin as one of the goats. The newer generation never got the chance to experience him outside of re-runs of House Party and the rare showing of “Bebe’s Kids”(which still gets referenced a lot to this day). Those that know KNOW. RIP to the legend.
Your pop’s is the truth period!!! Go bless his soul and family!!! You look just like him eyes and all!!!
Your pops is The GOAT my favorite comedian of all time. I'm 30yo and I've been saying this all my life. Gone wayyy to soon but the impact he made is legendary. Long live Robin Harris. I remember seeing you on the documentary DVD years ago as a kid.
It was a different time Robin's role in spike lee's 'do the right thang ' was phenomenal robin is the 1st person to introduce me to dolemite in he 1st house party
His son looks just like his father & he sounds like him.I love his reactions! A true legend he didn't get to his success like he should before he passed away & he was a true virgo! May he continue to r.i.p
Maaaaaannnnnnnn listen....I legit told my son one night he thought he dodged a whoopin and tried to get in the bed "I wouldn't do that just, cause yo a$$ is MINE!" Complete with the belt snap!!!!! Your father was a BEAST we'll never forget!!
Right before he blew up he passed 🤦🏾♂️ sad cause he was different
Right
He had already blown up because of those Robert Townsend specials. The man was in virtually every movie for 5 years.
@@rtwo4570 yeah Harlem Nights was a classic with all the greats
Young brother, I guarantee you that no one has forgotten about how great your father was as a comedian. His style of comedy was unique and he was on his way to becoming one of the funniest ever. Remember that Richard Pryor only did four episodes of the Richard Pryor show, but they were the funniest four shows ever....your pops work may have been short but it's the funniest moments ever captured. We miss him and love him dearly.
I loved your dad in the movie Mo' Better Blues...😂😂funny man
A JAZZ THING.
And a comedy thang..
RH and Charlie Murphy were on point. I live that movie.
His pops was the truth I got introduced to him with bebes kids lol then house party lol
You dad is a comedy legend!👏🏽🙏🏽🌹. People will remember “Bebe Kids” forever!🥰🎈🤣
I knew Robin back in 79-81. We used to perform stand up at local clubs in L. A. like the 20 Grand. He was a skinny guy with big eyes and would tell me to stay in the hood but i wanted to do Comedy Store and Improv. He was not interested in that but he perfected his craft in his arena. I left in 82 to PURSUE a call to ministry, he persisted and broke through ultimately with his brand as black comedy went mainstream through cable. We were friends. He always made me feel comfortable when i would visit the local scene whether he was MC or waiting to go on stage. I knew he went to Manual Arts H.S. and avoided gangs by making people laugh. I have good memories of Robin.
Over 30 years later, I still remember how funny he was. Gone too soon.
He puts me in the mind of Eric sermon
He does!!!
Robin Harris was one of my favorite comedians and he would have been apart of the kings of comedy if he had lived long enough!
" Im from a small town called, Fresh off a cops ass, and you making me homesick" #underratedcomic #classic#houseparty
I'm 42 and I grew up on your Dad he was a living legend
The Resemblance is uncanny
Wow! His son!!! His Dad was super underrrated. RIP Robin Harris
The joke Robin told in Do the Right thing was when he said “You’ll eat the hole out of a doughnut “ I was crying 😂😂😂 RIP ❤️
Lol when he told his homie you thirty cents away from having a quarter how the fuck you gone buy a boat 😂
I remember it was spring in 11th grade, when my buddy got on the school bus looking sad and said he died. My whole crew was fans. Robert Townsend's Partners in Crime was our official show, and The Weave King was our favorite character.
He would've probably gave you hell for those ear pearcings 🤔😂😂😂😂😂 I could hear him now "oh heeeeellll no son!"🤣🤣🤣🤣
We will never forget Robin. Thank you for this interview. Another one very well done!!!
RIP to your pops, I don’t think that he was over looked. He just transcended at an early age. Your pops was the man bro. Be proud.
I remember the excitement me and my siblings used to have; while sneaking trying to watch his stand up... Or we used to keep rewinding back and forth his parts on house party... I remember him being the main reason we watched... I say this to say that we in the black community knew and respected the 💎 we knew as Robin Harris... His name ran bells in our community... Times were different back then, where the “15 min” of fame reign longer, opposed to now... I wasn’t even in kindergarten yet when Robin died, yet I remember his essence and existence in the black community... Sadly our rarest 💎’s in this community aren’t given their roses 🌹 while above ground 🤦🏾♀️...
Well said!!!
Robin Harris was definitely ahead of his time. 1 of my favorite comedian ever.
Jerry curl juice dripping you'll never get away if you did a crime follow the drips lol
NORTH CAROLINA MUSIC jerry curl juice jr 🤣
@@jondough7777777 🤣🤣🤣
He gave us great memories and great laughter.
Test tube baby 😂😂😂😂😂❤️
He was ahead of his time like his son said. Robin Harris reminded me of my dad when he did "House Party." Pops was strict but had jokes all the time.
God bless his son and family much success and blessings Robin Definitely is still a legend in my eyes and his style was definitely iconic
Robin Harris was funny it was his way,on stage and off,RIP to a true comedian!!!
Man, I couldn’t watch tv as a child and I still knew about him. Legend
Robin Harris was Introduced to me by my Father I’m thankful I got to see his work and I’m glad to see his Son carrying his Torch💯
Robin Harris is my favorite comic all time . First time I heard Bebe. Kids album I laughed so hard I had a asthma attack ! I see so many comics copy his style if he didn’t pass a lot of these guys wouldn’t have a carrer.
"Had my best piece a woman on a humid day"
Salute to the he great Robin Harris!
Thought this was E tha Greeneyed Bandit 😂
Wow this channel has to be enjoyed now cause this channel is real and authentic
I'm watching your dad on tubi . I loved him I wish we could have understood more about sleep apnea and the effect it has on your health . He was a funny guy and it was a real comedian that talked about things that was funny and natural. When I was down and need a laugh he never let me down RIP . It is a great thing about memories , as long as you have memories yesterday will remain . He is living through you every day
He looks just like him. One of my favs because he reminded me of some of my uncles I grew up with.
I was outside smoking me a drink - Robin Harris
I was just thinking about your father right now. Never knew you existed. Your father was one of the funniest men to ever live. Easily. I miss him very much and when I think about my style of comedy there is always your father in the back of my mind. Fearless. Hilarious. One of a kind. I wish you and your family the best and I hope one day your father's legacy will be cherished more and recognized. Robin was and is your father but to me he was one of the funniest men I have ever seen in life and a lifelong teacher. Him and Bernie were our legends. May he rest in peace.
They definitely don't talk enough about his son because I'm just now finding out about him!
I saw his last show in Chicago. It was on a Saturday night . He died in his hotel room overnight. Could not believe it when I heard the news that Sunday. He was starting to blow up gone to soon
He was Great we just
Didn' have enough time with him ?
He made his mark
No one can take that
Away from him !!
Bro. I can say "too big Robin" we all still laugh to this day. I said it this morning. Gone but not forgotten.
Robin Harris was a comedic genius. His standup about the barbecue is legendary. His lives on through his son.
How was he over looked? He was blowing uppppp!!!
He was not overlooked in the AA community - maybe in the mainstream but his Dad was on his way to major success. Bebe Kids was about to blow.
Robin was never overlooked. At that particular time he actually blew up. When you get an animation developed after your character you are famous. Big Time!
Robin was definitely one of the greats. He's a legend.
Overlooked by some, loved by many. Your Pops was one of the best comics ever.
"What u oughta do is boycott that barber that fucked up yo head"🤣🤣🤣
-Robin Harris in Do the Right Thing
I remember he did a rap dedicated to his dad
really where??
@@hotcakesjubaby7300 I was looking for it lol but he was younger and he still raps though and the sad part his dad passed so he never got to know him and vice versa💔😢
Surprisingly not any test tube baby comments. Robin Harris is on my Mount Rushmore of comedians. He’s the first comedian to make me cry from laughter. Going to blockbuster and renting Babes kids was my favorite past time. “Pewe OG” “OG? Well I’ll put my F.O.O.T in your B.U.T! Lmboooo classic. Then the Joke he had on Martin Lawrence in house party, then the beaten he gave to Kid in the end of one of the house parties. Man this man was revolutionary. May he still Rest In Paradise and Much respect and God Bless to Robin Harris Jr.
Robin Harris and Bernie Mack will never be forgotten. These two individuals were gifted, in the arts of comedy.
RIP my brothers
Sherrin Ross Bernie mac stole from Harris facts💯 besides robin Harris is better
Robin Harris career was about to blow up before his sudden death. Everything he was in was hilarious.
I remember when the news of Robin's sudden passing was announced and I was so shocked! I was 16 back then and even then, it seemed so unfair to me, especially after hearing he was only 36. Some fool started a rumor that it happened backstage and that lie was going around far too long! I learned years later that his widow had to endure a pregnancy & it made me even sadder! It's good to see his son and we need to see more of him! He's a huge part of Robin's legacy. #RIPRobinHarris
I need to find the movie ..I had a bootleg in 2009 called “the autobiography of robin Harris” it was dope ..can’t find it anywhere ..
James Buchanan I have it on dvd
Amazon
James Buchanan No.
Robin made the biggest comedy impact in the shortest time!!!
He definitely has a similar voice with his father.
Robin Harris is a true legend as well as icon ! Grew up on Bebe’s kids, House Party , Harlem Nights or Do the Right Thing !
Dope interview RIP 2 legend Robin Harris🙏🏾
Bio pic on Robin Harris!!! “Flow the drip “💧 coming soon!
The problem was that the big comics back then felt threatened by Robin, he was killing it and they was hating! Even Robert Townsend said the same thing
He was overlooked but definitely on his way. His last show was sold out and he was breaking into the movie game.
That’s his Bebe kids fo real😁 And he sounds like him too
Salute Robin Harris & JR. We did an interview solid dude.
Your dad was a funny dude. What a natural.
Yeah he looks and sounds like his dad, but I'm seeing and hearing Erick Sermon, too.
Robin and Dennis Wolfsburg died very young, both were on the rise, comedy is a tough gig, and you got to salute people that can get up before an audience and make them laugh, salute to all the comedians past and present.
Robin Harris is the unsung Godfather of Def Comedy Jam. Like his style helped usher in Def Comedy Jam comedians .
He wasn't overlooked by me bro...🙏💯 Legend
Robin Harris is still the funniest comedian of all time to me. He is very underappreciated and underrated
Robin Harris WILL NEVER BE OVERLOOKED, his time was just limited, cause if he was alive, he would probably had his own tv show and more
