I Hate Robin Williams
Yep, I've said it, and I'm sure I'm not alone. But if that's not enough for you, try this on for size: Robin Williams is not funny. Do you think Robin Williams is funny? If so, chances are you aren't funny either.
For years I've been amazed that people still think this hairy goofass is some kind of comedic genius. I don't know if you've ever actually stopped and watched him when he's being interviewed on Entertainment Tonight, Jay Leno or some other terrible show where they suck up to him like crazy, but really stop and watch next time. Someone will ask him a question and then he'll basically repeat the question while talking either like a gay dude or in some painful white-dude-talking-like-a-black-dude impression. I ask you, how long can this schtick keep Mork in the "people who are funny by default" category? Not much longer I hope, as I find watching him excrutiating. It's like watching Michael from The Office doing his Chris Rock impression.
"But Shane", you say, "Robin Williams is also a good dramatic actor". Actually, no he isn't. He follows the Tom Cruise school of acting where he basically plays the same dude in every movie. Unlike the crazy midget Cruise, Rob Williams' one character is a semi-creepy pussy that's always one insult away from going postal and clawing someone's eyes out. But I'm sure you won't take my word for it, so let's look at Robin William's last 10 movies to see just have unfunny he's become:
The Big White (2005) - He plays a travel agent trying to outsmart the mob - how could I not heard of this?
Robots (2005) (voice) - Voice acting might be the one acting where Williams "talent" fits best. But he's still the poor man's Eddie Murphy of voice acting.
House of D (2004) - This film was written and directed by David Duchovny, nuff said.
The Final Cut (2004) - Someone on IMDB describes it thusly: "The Final Cut" is a dark cross between "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "One-Hour Photo" and "Citizen Kane." My god, this cold be this best movie ever made.
Insomnia (2002) - Quelle surprise, Robin Williams as a creepy dude.
Death to Smoochy (2002) - A well-documented debacle
One Hour Photo (2002) - More creepy Williams anyone?
Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) - Williams voice alone in this helped tank this big budget mess
Bicentennial Man (1999) - Robot Robin wants to be human, sign me up!
Jakob the Liar (1999) - "A rather uplifting and slightly humorous film about World War II Jewish Ghetto life". I wonder if he does any of his crazy voices in this one?
Keep in mind this list doesn't include Mrs. Doubtfire 2, an upcoming sequel to a film that was cheesy and semi-painful when came out in 1993. What's that smell, is it hairy man BO? No, it's desperation.
But this is all my opinion, perhaps you love Mork and can't wait to see his latest opus, RV, a movie about Robin Williams driving an RV. I honestly don't know why you would want to do this, but no doubt some people will. Not me, I'm waiting until Steven Seagal's houseboat-themed adventure movie comes out. Of course I made that movie up, but I can dream.

AMEN!
I hate that unfunny SOB also. So much so that I found your site by googling the words "I hate Robin Williams". Why this bozo is so popular is beyond me. I'm sure he's probably a very nice guy and so I guess that makes it a little easier to take, but oh my god when i hear someone say he's a comedic genius it makes me want to strangle them slowly. There are 2 movies of his that I actually liked. Why? Because he wasn't being Robin Williams, he was just being the character. Those 2 movies were Jumanji, which co-stars the *reaaly* funny David Allen Grier, and Hook, which I found more enjoyable than the original Peter Pan story. Best wishes.
amen, all he does is say things really fast in different(sort of) voices, so people don't realize that what he is saying isn't funny. i also found this site with the 'I hate robin williams' search. i'm glad to see i'm not the only sane person in this crazy world.
I hate Robin William with a passion. Just watch him on any talk show and it is rapid-fire unfunny jokes. Usually the host is so overwhelmed by Williams that they are speechless. I also am puzzled when people laugh, I think they are just trying to be polite. Also when people are in a mood to laugh they will laugh so maybe that is it.
I googled "I hate Robin Williams" too. Thank god I'm not the only one. He's a giant windbag and a blowhard. He's not funny. He stopped being relevant in the 80's. His schtick is just annoying. He needs to hang it up.
How anyone can refer to him as a genius is amazing. Richard Pryor is a comic genius. Bob Newhart is a comic genius. Robin Williams is a Douchebag.
Dane Cook isn't funny either. Niether are Carlos Mencia or George Lopez. Wanda Sykes really isn't funny. Jon Stewart isn't funny but the people who work on his show are. Conan is funny. Leno isn't. Letterman used to be. I could go on on on.
I sadly also found this site by Googling the words "I Hate Robin Williams". Other than "Good Will Hunting", which even he couldn't fuck up, he is arguable the most useless famous person ever. He will ruin a talk show appearance faster that you can say "garbled mixed metaphor". What's even better, he tend to ruin any other guests' spot as well if the host is dumb enough to let him linger around. I wish he could shut the fuck up, but alas he cannot.
Here's what I googled to get to your website :
"people who hate Robin Williams"
He belongs on a special with Carrot Top and Gallagher in Branson Missouri.
I think they all wear suspenders also.
f**k ya'll haters robin williams is the shit, your just mad cuz he has $$$ and you dont so hahahaha
Yeah I don't get what the hell is talking about. Ever.
As an interview subject his personality ranges from unbearably annoying to .... actually that's about it.
He also has this side to his personality where he talks in a soft, hushed tone with a faint british accent. No idea what that's about. Must be his Juliard training coming through.
I didn't know you could major in "Painfully Unfunny" at that school.
Although discussing this topic has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably stupid. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also irrelevant.
Your lives are the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the failure of your parents DNA. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite their sincerest efforts they were unable to eliminate you from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.
Searched for "I hate Robin Williams" and this page turned up. I really really cant stand him. His jokes are the absolute of funny. I simply fail to comprehend y he is being labeled as a great comedian.
I also searched for "I hate robin williams" after seeing him on comic relief 2006..what an ass.
i hate robie williams it's very very bad
He is the worst actor I have ever seen. This TV serie Mork & Mindy is the worst ever made.
First, I'll comment on the blog...
I wouldn't say I hate the little monkey, but I think he should calm down and act like a human sometime when he's being interviewed. I guess he thinks he's suppose to be entertaining 24/7, forgetting he's not getting payed to act out in public just so people who are listening to him feel like their time was well spent. You're right though, it seems like he just keeps playing the same person in each film. But, there's just some people whose own depth of personality is too shallow, you really can't expect them to be anyone else than the people they can see in themselves.
Now, I'll comment on other extremely annoying people's comments...
To King, you're an idiot, plain and simple... just because people complain about how another person acts in the lime light, it doesn't mean we're jealous of them for the amount of money they rake in each film. It's like you're saying to the people who hate George Bush that the only reason why they complain is because they themselves don't have the same amount of power as the President, which sounds idiotic if you ask me. For the same reason why people complain about George Bush, the reason why people hate Robin Williams is because he sucks at what he does, which is acting, or acting out.
To Baron Von Hutchinson.... You're as lame as the statement you just made. You, yourself, are an insignificant spec in this universe that has nothing better to do than to act like a pseudo-intellectual (but in actuality, you just ripped off the most unintelligent phrase that could have been uttered in a completely mind-numbing movie). You yourself should do what's best for everyone who exists in this world. Just vanish like a fart in the wind, useless piece of shit.
And to everyone else on here... YOU CAN ALL GO TO HELL!!!! hahahahaha...
nah, just playin...
Did anyone here see Man of the Year?
Well, I didn't think so.
I did as a joke. I knew it would be bad so I went with some friends to laugh at how terribly it was made.
We couldn't. We tried, but we just couldn't. We were appalled.
It's not healthy, but I get angry when I think about how much money goes into his painfully awful movies...not to mention the money the studios are paying him to "act" in them.
Robin Williams was funny in the 80's, back when humor was defined by doing silly voices and having men dress up like women.
To "Duke Wellington": You must have a small member. You obviously are attempting to compensate by calling yourself "Duke." There is only one Duke, John Wayne. No little tampon using vacuous pustule like yourself should ever be referred to as "Duke." And before calling someone insignificant and pseudo, you might want to look between your legs. The word phrase means "a group of words that functions as a single unit in the syntax of a sentence." The Baron's post should more accuratly be described as a monologue, dumb-ass.
And one more thing you piece of excriment, obviously The Baron was being sarcastic and facetious. Long live The Baron!
u'r right i hate his guts. it's torture watching him do his comedy. fucking psycho.
Funny how many people obviously found this page by searching for "I hate Robin Williams". I did too. To me, he's to film like Phil Collins to music.
I googled "I hate Robin Williams" after I was forced out of my basement with the pile of tripe called "Happy Feet". I would wish him dead, but then every channel would play his stupid movies. Nothing turns me off a film more quickly than his so-called acting. If I could erase one actor in history, it would be this unfunny, ugly, disgusting heap of a loser. I now know to avoid others who think he's funny, like someone above me said if you think he's funny, you're not.
To be fair, Robin Williams already seemed over the hill by the time he appeared in that episode of "Laugh In" in '77.
I googled "men who eat donkey an00s" and this page came up, and the freaky thing is, I was actually talking about Robin Williams, in that I mean he eats donkey an00s.
I hate anyone that eats donkey an00s.
I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really don't like Robin Williams. He is not funny. I needed this forum as a way of expression to take out my anger for the worst actor in the world. I found many sites that says he is not funny and I happy to see many people can relate to my opinion. Thank you.
I also googled "I hate Robin Williams"
I have never heard Robin talk in an authentic voice in an interview. His whole routine is to talk nonsense in a goofy voice very rapidly, then awkwardly stop - which causes an audience to instinctively laugh to fill in the dead air.
So when Robin Williams plays a normal speaker in Good Will Hunting - he earns praise for his mediocre performance because he seems like a good actor for not doing his goofytalk.
Absolutely unbelievable he is a success with that crap.
To "the king", you are as useless an asshole as Williams is. Anyone that thinks Robin Williams is in the least bit funny is retarded, and more likely than not, a socialist liberal cumstain. Since you think we hate this so unfunny cold-douche-on-a-winter-morn "comedian" because of his money, you are both (retarded and a socialist liberal cumstain, as he is).
He also steals funny jokes from other comedians and somehow manages to make them unfunny. So King, why don't you do the world a favor and kill yourself...please!
Hey, I found this by googling the magic phrase "I HATE ROBIN WILLIAMS" after I read an article in a retard's blog with the exact same sentiment- I thought it might be a internet meme, but I guess not. Check out the Brett Graham dissertation on ROBIN WILLIAMS though because he sums up his horribleness better than you, though you seem to make the exact same points

scroll down a bit, its old news.
Looks like this is a great venting spot for all of us smart people that cannot STAND Robin Williams. The only movie of his I somewhat liked was 1 Hour Photo, and even that was only because I worked in a one hour photo place at the time. Unlike everyone else though, I did not find this blog by googleing "i hate Robin Williams". I searched "Robin Williams sucks" :)
He is the one person that can single handedly ruin an entire talk show every time he comes on. He is either a gay pirate or an african chief in some made up language.... JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TALK LIKE A HUMAN BEING!!
I googled 'I hate Robin Williams'. But unlike most other people in this discussion I hate the guy not so much because he is unfunny, but for all the cringe-inducing 'human touch' moments where he tries to show us how sensitive and vulnerable his character is (Hook, Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poet Society, it's all the same). Makes me want to puke.
