Tibb Big Brother Task 5: Tribute Thread: Robin Williams

[jones89]

As part of a task in Tibb Big Brother, i’ve made a thread dedicated to the hilarious and iconic Robin Williams. The goal of the task is to see how many posts i can get in this thread in 24 hours.

Robin Williams had so many classic movies. What’s some of your favourites? I myself would say Mrs Doubtfire or Jumanji for the nostalgia, i watched them ALOT when i was a kid but then there were some of his movies that kinda flew under the radar a little… anyone remember Toys? :joker:

[AnnieK]

Possibly controversial but I hated Mrs Doubtfire. Just too cheesy for me :laugh:

Good Morning Vietnam was a good movie

I’ve actually never seen that one. Is that the one where he’s a radio host or something?

[AnnieK]

Yeah - its an old one (totally showing my age :laugh:)

It always makes me sad when I think of him taking his own life though when he brought so much joy to many people through his movies

:sad:

I myself loved Robin Williams. He had such a joyous personality. My favourite film is Dead Poets Society as it made a massive impact on me when I first saw it.

:thumbs: you won't be disappointed

[Maru]

I found him more iconic as a person than the stuff he did in movies, etc. He had a special character to him.

[Kate!]

He certainly did Maru.

…:love:…such a great choice for a tribute, jones…:love:…his was one of those celebrity deaths that really impact, in terms of celebrity he was such a bright light and I’ve read so many stories of how kind he was as a person…

[Ammi]

…obviously he was a genius of comedy and making us all laugh …but for me, some of my favourite of his movies were when he played a more serious and even a very dark character…One Hour Photo, Insomnia…two really dark and intense performances from him and showing the stretch and reach of his acting talent, I guess…

[Ammi]

…I loved him as that big blue genie in Aladdin…:lovedup:..and I loved Flubber as well..:laugh:…

[Ammi]

…Robin Williams Russian Dolls which were inspired by some of his movie characters…

…some Robin Williams stories from Buzzfeed…


"Having lived in the San Francisco Bay area almost all of my life, there are MANY stories of Robin Williams' generosity. There was a family who had just come from their grandma's funeral, and they stopped at a donut shop for a snack and coffee. One could tell that they were upset by their conversation about cleaning out their grandma's belongings from her nursing home — after a while, the man in the next booth (his back to them) got up and introduced himself, and it was Robin Williams! He asked if he could join them and mentioned he had overheard their conversation — he asked them what kind of person their grandma was like, and what kind of things she enjoyed doing. After just a few minutes, he had them laughing and celebrating her life, and when he left, he paid for their donuts and coffee."

[Ammi]

"When I was 6 months old, I got a really bad case of pneumonia and almost died. My family and I were in the hospital around Christmas time, and Robin ****ing Williams walked into the room, talked with my parents and older brother, and gave me a toy. He did that for all of the children in the hospital, and that's how the man spent his Christmas — he literally hid from the press because he didn’t want it turning into a huge media event. What a stand-up lad."

[Ammi]

"I met Robin Williams after a performance of Bengal Tiger in the Baghdad Zoo — he was very quiet, but happy to sign autographs and take pictures with us. He saw a young boy standing next to me and froze, then a smile appeared on his face — it was like a light switched on in him. Robin started doing voices and making jokes (he even did shtick from Aladdin) to get the boy to laugh, and it worked like a charm! The boy started roaring with laughter (as did the rest of us) — it was incredible to get to see both the performer and the person in that one encounter. It's a memory I'll always cherish."

That's truly lovely

Mrs Doubtfire will always be a classic of his. Dare I say One Hour Photo was one of his most best pieces too.

His Law and Order SVU was sooo good! He was evil in that episode. I wish they followed up with it but sadly he died

[Beso]

Orson doesn't agree.

But I do. Such a talent, A demise undeserved.

[Beso]

My favourite movie is good morning Vietnam or Jumanji.

But it was his stand up comedy that stood out for me.

Ok One Hour Photo also added to my list

Ok One Hour Photo also added to my list

…:love:…when you watch it, let us know what you think of it…the other one that he plays a dark character is Insomnia…if you haven’t seen that then I’d recommend adding that one to the list as well…:laugh:..

I think i’ve seen Jumanji like 500 times :joker:

I feel like there’s a few i need to watch. I’ve actually never seen him in a serious role but very familliar with his comedy movies

…I’ve always preferred him is serious roles more…although I do like his lighter ones as well and he’s made some excellent classic family movies…but he really displays a darkness in some of his roles that I think he was quite underrated for…

[Ammi]

I think i’ve seen Jumanji like 500 times :joker:

…it’s like The Princess Bride, isn’t it…you switch the TV on, on a Sunday afternoon and say…oh no, not again…!!!!!…then spend the next two hours totally entranced in it…:laugh:..

[Kate!]

Lovely to see a poll

[Ammi]

There’s actually so many.. Aladdin even sometimes slips my mind :joker:

…I mean, he WAS that blue genie, wasn’t he…that character somehow seemed to embody his very essence…maybe because he went off script so much in playing the part and ad lined so much of it, it became him…:love:…I mean, that’s just amazing, isn’t it…

[Ammi]

…is the poll a one choice thing…?..

[jones89]

…is the poll a one choice thing…?..

Yeah. Sorry to make it hard on you haha

[Dogeatdog]

Ahh I do love Robin Williams. Jumanji was one of the first films of his that I watched when I was younger. He was really funny in his cameo appearance on Friends too.

[Ammi]

Yeah. Sorry to make it hard on you haha

…I chose One Hour Photo because he’s such a dark character in it but I just generally love most of his movies…:love:..

[jones89]

Ahh I do love Robin Williams. Jumanji was one of the first films of his that I watched when I was younger. He was really funny in his cameo appearance on Friends too.

That was so random how they got him to do that. He must have been a fan of the show

[Dogeatdog]

That was so random how they got him to do that. He must have been a fan of the show

I think he might’ve been tbh. Friends was hugely popular by the time he did his cameo and I think that was only the third season too iirc?

[Maru]

So I am home now from a very busy day to update everyone on my passionate love for all things Robin Williams.

Little known game he was did a live presentation of himself playing, which was Spore, a little known game by Will Wright/Maxis who made the original Sims and the Sim City franchise:

This video is old and I can't find a direct recording, so I guess this is all there is of it... literally someone holding a camcorder :laugh::laugh: I remember this, because I thought about checking it out... I think it had a lot of unpatched bugs and issues running on certain rigs, so didn't want to drop the money for it.

"Darwin on acid"

[Maru]

Even when he was actor though, he always gave the impression it was actually him on screen and not the "role". He was that iconic. It was like different lives if Robin Williams was put into different scenarios.

[Maru]

I picked Aladdin because for me that was a fantastic memory to have around the age and made me really appreciate the movie. Plus it being one of my favorite movies of all time... can't have the same movie without Robin Williams as Genie.

[Maru]

I would've loved to have seen RW in a Batman role... I think that easily would've been one of his final great works... sad thinking what we lost:

[Maru]

Oh wow, apparently Joe Rogan had met him when Williams had waited in a line to talk to him... didn't recognize him right away. He was a cool dude. I would've loved to have heard everything he had to say about current events.

[Maru]

Possibly controversial but I hated Mrs Doubtfire. Just too cheesy for me :laugh:

Good Morning Vietnam was a good movie

I forgot about GMV! I might have to rewatch...

I was OK on Mrs Doubtfire. We were forced to watch it over and over in school, so that might not have helped :laugh: I found it to be a very moody comedy for me, which isn't my favorite. The funny parts were iconic. I can see why you would say it is cheesy, because of how the serious bits overlapped with the comedic areas and it felt like two movies. It was hard to take seriously, which is funny to say that because it's a comedy, but I good comedy makes people think and consider without them necessarily knowing they're thinking if that makes sense... the story felt forced to support the gender-swapping concept of the movie.

[Maru]

…:love:…such a great choice for a tribute, jones…:love:…his was one of those celebrity deaths that really impact, in terms of celebrity he was such a bright light and I’ve read so many stories of how kind he was as a person…

Yes and I think not many will be able to appreciate it now as it was a different era. He effected the culture directly with his humor because he set a standard where many difficult topics could be tackled and the way he tackled it, it somehow made just about anyone feel better in the end... you wouldn't think his death didn't reflect his legacy, but it was the worst part... he had dementia and it effectively killed him. I remember his family talking about it. With his mind being different, maybe it's not surprising genetically also others things could've been lurking there that were "unique"...

‘Robin’s Wish’ Recap: Lewy Body dementia & Robin Williams’s legacy
https://www.alzsd.org/robins-wish-recap-lewy-body-dementia-robin-williams-legacy/

In 2014, Robin died from suicide, leaving his wife, Susan Williams, along with many others heartbroken and dumbfounded. He had past problems with substance abuse and struggled with depression, but was behaving in strange ways that Susan couldn’t understand. It wasn’t until a brain autopsy that things finally made sense when it was discovered that Robin Williams actually had one of the most severe cases of Lewy Body dementia (LBD) ever seen.

The story of what really happened to the star that resulted in this tragic end was told in the recent documentary Robin’s Wish.

Lewy Body dementia is a type of dementia that is “progressive, irreversible, and always fatal”, according to expert Dr. Bruce Miller. Abnormal deposits of the protein alpha-synuclein form masses called Lewy bodies that damage the brain. The disease increases anxiety, can cause hallucinations, mood swings, may negatively impact REM sleep, and can result in fluctuating levels of alertness and attention. Lewy body dementia can be hard to diagnose because Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease cause similar symptoms. Scientists think that LBD might be related to these diseases, or that they sometimes happen together.

Mrs Doubtfire will always be a classic of his. Dare I say One Hour Photo was one of his most best pieces too.

Talent isn't what it used to be certainly and he will always be remembered for that most of all. I remember a time when cameos used to something people really took notice of. Now they're side gigs tossed around to puff up the credits screen, but not necessarily memorable... it's not enough to just throw someone in a role and expect them to perform it well in one day. It takes a lot of talent to really make just a short role simply iconic... I think because we had more people like that, the bar was higher and that really did benefit everyone creatively... and newer, but also talented people could get noticed off the backs of great work... but that great work, like many things media-related, it's not what it used to be... it's more about the budgeting, the special effects and creating as much merch as possible to support the production of a movie. Doesn't seem to matter as much whether theaters fill up or not?... Hollywood has lost its cultural impact in that way, I think, because of the loss of talent like Williams, who kept the craft elevated and that umbrella open for new people to come in and push the craft further. I always held the impression that people like Williams really truly cared and supported creativity, and not just follower counts or movies made & sold etc...

[Mystic Mock]

I really enjoyed Jumanji as a kid.

I also liked him as Theodore Roosevelt in Night At The Museum.

I think that a lot of industries nowadays have an issue with not hiring people based on merit.

Robin Williams was good at his craft, so he deserved to be hired.

To use Football/Soccer as an example, Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, and Vincent Kompany aren't good Managers, yet they all get multiple second chances at Football Management due to who they were as players.

[Mystic Mock]

Wasn't there an actual board game? I think my cousins played it.

I've never played it tbh.

I've never played it tbh.

I believe people played it so they could yell "Jumanji!" while watching the movie at random in the dining room with pizza and their peers. Back when board games were king.

Robin Williams Gave Chilling Warning to 'Mrs. Doubtfire' Co-Star
https://pagesix.com/2025/04/18/celebrity-news/robin-williams-gave-matthew-lawrence-this-important-life-lesson-before-tragic-death/

"He really opened up with me, and I'll never forget it," he told Entertainment Weekly. "There were times he would just grab me and he'd be like, 'Don't put that stuff in your body. If I could go back and tell myself, this is why I'm telling you, don't put that stuff in your body.'"

Would that have the same impact now?

The “Brotherly Love Podcast” co-host, who performed on the masked singing show as Paparazzo, even had the opportunity to pay homage to Williams by singing Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”

Lawrence described that tribute on stage as a “lightning in the bottle moment” because he had been “riddled with fear and sweating bullets” throughout his other performances — except that one.

“There was definitely an elevated moment that brought my performance better than even I was thinking I could do,” the “Boy Meets World” alum added. “I do believe there was some spiritual aspect to that.”

“The Masked Singer” airs Wednesdays on Fox at 8 p.m. ET and can also be streamed on Hulu.

Nathan Lane: Robin Williams ‘Protected Me’ From Coming Out as Gay on ‘Oprah’ in 1996 Because ‘He Was a Saint’
https://variety.com/2023/film/news/nathan-lane-robin-williams-protected-coming-out-gay-1235565177/

Nathan Lane revealed on “Sunday Today” that Robin Williams once protected him from coming out as gay against his will on national television. The year was 1996 and Lane and Williams were on their press tour for Mike Nichols’ “The Birdcage,” in which they play a gay couple trying to marry off their son to a conservative couple’s daughter. Lane was nervous about doing an interview on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” as “The Birdcage” was one of his first major film roles, and he did not want to come out publicly as gay at the time.

“I was not prepared at all for that,” Lane said about openly discussing his sexuality at the time. “And I certainly wasn’t ready to go from table-to-table and tell them all I was gay. I just wanted to talk about finally [getting] a big part in a movie, and I didn’t want to make it about my sexuality.”

…I never watched Robin’s Wish…I did intend to watch it when I read about it but just somehow couldn’t apply myself to …

[Maru]

…that was so bad of Oprah, wasn’t it…to try to engineer the conversation toward him being gay….Robin, though…:love:..

I could see her being intimidating in her own way, whatever her polished image was, so not her biggest fan. Her audience was very unique in its time though and especially for women, around topics like weight loss, they all looked up to her. I'd say one of the first real influencers that really reached regular people and they felt understood by her. So I can understand why celebrity also gravitated towards her appeal because she had her hand on the pulse.

Robin could have easily handled her busybody behavior, though.

[Maru]

I read this was a rumor, but not verified... supposedly he had a clause in his contracts to require that homeless people were hired to work on any films he starred in. If true, that is pretty amazing. I think it's possible.

10 is a very ambitious number for any job. California has the right culture to support that though and it is also a field that is very tolerant of making different kinds of chaos work together seamlessly.. especially when it involves people. Very Robin.

I remember following the Rust case all the details, especially how hiring works. Getting those jobs, people had to be in network somehow. But many of the roles, while they didn't pay much and there were a lot of sacrifices, some of it was entry level work that could be a real leg up for anyone if they can manage to find their way into other productions. Especially if they end up working very well with others and being well-liked.

Oh wow thanks Maru for the posts/videos :love: he was an icon!.. but a different kind and for all the best reasons!

Like i said in a previous post.. i’ve never met one person in my life who didn’t like Robin Williams.. and if someone out there disliked him.. what’s wrong with youu!?!? :joker: we just don’t get actors/celebrities like him nowadays.. just the full package and then some…

Yes you chose very well
