I didn't know i could laugh that hard. My lungs hurt.This is by far the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. I've seen it over 10 times, and know almost every joke he's gonna tell. I've been quoting him for the past 3 years, and even when i watch it today its still hilarious. I never really knew robin williams was funny until i saw this. All his jokes are offensive but you have to sort of move past that to really enjoy its laughs. He goes into all aspects of comedy drugs, religion, getting older, sex, sports, and the olympics, he even fits in a little something about martha stewart. And you always have to have some sort of bush jokes.
... View MoreSome of the best stand-up comedy I've ever seen by a man who undeniably is a comical genius. If you have seen and liked any movie or TV show featuring Robin Williams, I tell you, this stuff will surely make you laugh! The material in his show might seem offensive to some (maybe to all) and it cannot be viewed politically; it is supposed to be fun, a laughing matter.The world has become a serious place and laughter is one of those things that help us through the day. Mr. Williams amongst several of his peers are the very best people to do just that.Considering the fact that the man is in his fifties making a live show with both verbal and physical humor, making satirical comments on just about everyone and everything, he is doing a job many of us would only be dreaming of doing at his age.Bless you Robin and thank you!

Considering it was his prime, a lot of the time I didn't quite 'get' or really just take in most of the jokes he was doing, as a lot of them had him going out into the audience and just ragging on random people's items. Ironically enough he shines in this special, taking on so many topics it would make your head spin for me to list them all. But he's constantly moving here, like in his 80's specials, while still giving the audience some room to breathe here and there, without pounding over the head. He goes after plastic surgery, South American Soccer, the French, (a bit before it started churning up) the US and the Middle East/Iraq, and very memorably a tale of Jesus and his forgotten brother, Jerry. Even when one isn't laughing, it's still putting-a-grin kind of material he's working with. In the year last when he was really on fire (he at least had one good film among three, Death to Smoochy, Insomnia, and One Hour Photo, the latter two in my top 10 of 2002), for me he delivered his best in quite a long time, a wonderful comeback with enough sarcasm, energy, and curses to float a sinking boat.
... View MoreThe hardest thing in the acting business is to make someone laugh. And laugh hard! Robin Williams succeeds with what seems like ease, he just fires one joke after another and around 20% are so amazingly funny you wonder if you ever saw a funnier stand-up performance in your life. He made me realize one other thing - comedians are the philosophers of modern time, they are hardcore critics of current state of politics, drugs, sports, environment, just name it, they have witty and to the spot anecdotes for every subject. Without them we would be so much emptier, they realize stuff that's true just no one else sees it.A brilliant and amazingly funny, (repeat this about 5 times to get the idea just how much), an unmissable performance. 9/10
