by robin williams
so what's your favorite robin williams

all right let's get to it number 10.
slipping on the floor the bird cage in
one of his more underrated comedies

of a miami drag club
fussy fussy fussy you do martha graham

michael kidd michael kidd michael keto
madonna
madonna madonna he's forced to act
straight with his partner
nathan lane dressed as a middle-aged
woman while meeting his son's
conservative in-laws to be
you men it is the biggest babies
you know they can run the world but they
can't pick out a tie oh
i know i can't get this big lug to buy a
new
suit in the climactic dinner sequence
armand slips and falls while carrying a
pot of soup
according to williams co-star hank
azaria williams actually slipped and
fell while filming the sequence
ever the pro williams simply got back up
and carried on
although he nearly breaks while telling
his son to go go
it's okay we're all right it's fine just
shut up god damn you it's always stop
crying god damn you
what are you standing there folks oh cow
she'll be here a minute ago
number nine much of the movie jack one
of francis ford coppola's lesser efforts
jack stars williams as jack powell a kid
who ages
four times faster than a typical child
just can't sleep i had a scary dream
can i sleep in here yeah of course buddy
stimpy too sure okay
when jack is 10 years old and attending
school he has the body and appearance of
a 45 year old robin williams
according to coppola williams improvised
many of his lines at his insistence
he told the christian science monitor
quote the easiest thing about working
with robin was encouraging him to
improvise
for he's brilliant i thought you might
want to go to the dance with me
it'd be really really fun oh jackie
so you want to go my mom will drive us
when he began to adlib
it was screamingly funny while it's not
known what specific lines were
improvised
it's clear that williams had to carry
much of the film on his shoulders
even if the results were mixed william's
dedication is undeniable
number eight pinocchio aladdin why
ten thousand years will give you such a
crick in the neck
despite some strong competition
william's performance as the genie may
be his best work
not only is the voice acting terrific
but it encapsulates everything that made
william such a fantastic entertainer
his manic energy his uproarious comedy
and his unending creativity
i can't make anybody fall in love with
anybody else
you little punim there rule number three
i can't bring people back from the dead
it's not a pretty picture i don't like
doing it
animation supervisor eric goldberg
fondly recalls william's improvisations
in the recording booth
which indicated making a brip sound to
indicate aladdin's lie
it was meant to represent the sound of
pinocchio's growing nose
so goldberg and his team worked around
williams improv and added pinocchio's
face into the movie
the only way i get out of this is if my
master
wishes me out so you can guess how often
that's happened
i'll do it i'll set you free uh-huh yeah
right
[Applause]
no really i promise after i make my
first two wishes i'll use my third wish
to set you free
it's amazing to consider how much
creative leverage williams had on the
creation of aladdin
number seven tomas and tim friends in
1997
williams and billy crystal co-starred in
the ivan reitman comedy father's day
the day before it premiered williams and
crystal also appeared together in this
friends episode
do you mind if we said yeah could you
their presence was not planned and their
characters never appeared in the script
rather williams and crystal were both
near the friends set and were asked if
they wanted to cameo
they obviously agreed and reportedly
improvised the entire scene
all right so so you went to peace what
happened
you know why is this happening to me i
don't know maybe it's my wound
at one point matt leblanc even got in on
the action and improvised a rude
interruption
resulting in an annoyed admonishment
from billy crystal it's me i've been
sleeping with you
so you're the gynecologist hey i'm
trying to have a private conversation
it was probably the highlight of his
career
number six stole my line good will
hunting
sean mcguire is one of william's more
reserved and dramatic roles and it was
the one that earned him his only academy
award
you don't know about real loss because
it only occurs when you love something
more than you love yourself
i doubt you've ever dared to love
anybody that much the ending of the
movie
sees will going to california to reunite
with skylar and
leaving shawn a note telling him he had
to quote go see about a girl
this is a reference to a line shawn
uttered earlier in the film
just slid my ticket across the table and
i said sorry guys i gotta see about a
girl
i gotta go see about a girl yeah that's
what you said i had and they let you get
away with that oh yeah they saw in my
eyes and i meant it
according to matt damon sean's reaction
to the note was completely improvised by
williams
the script didn't have sean saying
anything but williams
ever the ad libber reportedly improvised
a different line on each take
when he said the line that now appears
in the movie damon grabbed the director
in excitement
knowing that williams had just uttered
gold if the professor calls about that
job
just tell them sorry i had to go see
about a girl
well
son of a stole my life
number five many things mork and mindy
mork and mindy served as williams
mainstream breakthrough hit
boy am i in for it now said before the
white desk again
what did i do the solar lander you fool
you painted a mustache on it but awesome
doesn't know i did it
then why am i here if i knew that i
wouldn't be talking to myself
it all started when williams was cast in
the happy days episode my favorite orkan
and he reportedly impressed the network
executives by improvising most of mork's
dialogue
his character proved so popular that he
was given a spin-off
and williams quickly became a household
name while stories of williams improv
have been
greatly exaggerated and mythologized he
still improvised
to great success i thought that you're
gonna stretch out my boots
this year boots i really had to stuff
socks in the front
no more you're so talented and handsome
you have such great tasting clothes
hey wait a minute i never said that well
it'd be nice if you did once in a while
one of the show's writers david mish
told gizmodo quote he didn't do
extended ad-libs but what he did that
would be so brilliant were these little
things
a line here and there a word here and
there a face
a voice those were the things that blew
people's minds
that's it you know i really hate it when
you act like this oh
yeah oh really you know what i hate i i
i i hate it when you're gargling you
don't make any noise it's like
number four melting icing mrs doubtfire
in one of the movie's greatest sequences
daniel is forced to play both himself
and mrs doubtfire when social worker mrs
sellner pops by for a surprise visit
because i have an appointment on monday
and friday evening to check the
apartment
i remember him seeing something about
that are you sure you want to walk in
there that's three floors whiffing it
all the way
if you can do it i can i'll bet so is
your ticket all right
top notch oh good cause i don't want to
jumpstart you
having lost his mask daniel shoves his
face in a cake
and pretends that it's mrs doubtfire's
nightly meringue mask
hello
oh i'm sorry to frighten you dear i must
look like a yeti in this get
up this is my nightly meringue mask
that much was scripted the rest was all
williams
the hot studio lights began melting the
icing on william's face
and it genuinely began dripping off into
the tee williams decided to just run
with it
and he gave audiences a classic bit of
comedy in the process
as you can see i can't stay with you
there i'm melting like a snow cone in
phoenix
there we go again i'll go get danny all
right he'll be right with you
hold on daddy number three
the broadcasts good morning vietnam good
morning vietnam hey this is not a test
this is rock and roll in this war comedy
drama
williams plays adrian cronauer a real
united states air force airman who
served as a military dj
throughout the vietnam war william's
performance as cronauer was widely
acclaimed and
it earned him his first academy award
nomination for best actor
well thank you roosevelt what's the
weather like out there it's hot damn hot
real hot
hot in this is my shorts i can cook
things in it little crotch pot cooking
according to the movie's producer mark
johnson most of the dj scenes were
entirely improvised by williams
in the movie's production notes johnson
stated quote
when he sat down in the control booth to
do the scenes involving kronauer's
broadcast
we just let the cameras roll he managed
to create something new for every single
take
such was the manic energy and
unbelievable creativity of robin
williams
remember the people who brought you
korea that's right the u.s
army if it's being done correctly here
or abroad it's probably not being done
by the army
number two farting in sleep goodwill
hunting
despite being one of his more serious
roles williams still found time to imbue
sean mcguire with a funny bone
hey whatever blows your hair back yeah i
haven't got much hair left
hey you know you'd be better off shoving
that cigarette up your ass if i would be
healthier for you
during a heart to heart with will shawn
mentions that he has to learn to embrace
a woman's imperfections
my wife used to fart when she was
nervous she had all sorts of wonderful
illusions
to give an example he tells will that
his late wife used to fart in her sleep
that line and the resulting discussion
were entirely
improvised by williams and matt damon
and damon's laughter was reportedly
genuine
oh god she woke herself up
oh nice ah but will she's been dead two
years and that's the i remember
some viewers even noticed the camera
shaking right after sean says i didn't
have the heart to tell her
sorry i shared that with you one night
it was so loud i woke the dog
she woke up and got like oh is that you
see i didn't have the heart to tell
indicating that the camera operator was
laughing alongside williams and damon
oh what it would have been like to work
with this man

number one celebrity impressions aladdin
what would you wish of me
the ever impressive
but never duplicated
[Music]
as stated before aladdin may be robin
williams greatest work
so much so in fact that he reportedly
gave the filmmakers 16
hours of content animation supervisor
eric goldberg recalls that he had
williams for four
four hour sessions and williams filled
that time with improvisations
jokes lines and tons of celebrity
impressions
looks like we're gonna have to find a
way out of here excuse
me are you looking at me did you rub my
lamp
did you wake me up did you bring me here
and all of a sudden you're walking out
on me
i don't think so not right now
you're getting your wishes so sound
goldberg told entertainment weekly
quote when we got robin in the recording
studio out came all the celebrity
impressions
that's a good move i can't believe it
i'm losing to a rug
so aside from busting a gut laughing we
just looked at each other and said
we can't not use this stuff the result
was genie's signature use of celebrity
impressions
and the rare case of animators working
around a voice actor
williams really could do anything genie
i need help
all right sparky here's the deal if you
wanna court the little lady you gotta be
a straight shooter do you got it
i read a factoid that there were so many
unused ad-lib moments from the movie
flubber
that there was enough to make a whole
other movie so
were you surprised that any of these
were ad-libs let us know in the comments
which your favorite was
or come tell me on twitter or instagram
