“Comedy is there to basically show us we fart, we laugh. To make us realize we still are part animal.... So you don't take yourself seriously and destroy the species.”
- Robin Williams in 1991, as told to Lawrence Grobel
Comedian and actor Robin Williams died on August 11, 2014 at the age of 63. In tribute, we wanted to create an animated interview short that shed a light on both his brilliant, rapid-fire, comedic mind, as well as his sensitivity and concern for the world around him. We found the perfect outtakes--vintage Robin Williams--in two interviews recorded by Lawrence Grobel for a story he wrote for Playboy magazine in 1992.
This Robin Williams episode begins with his predictions for what the world would be like in 2020 (30 years in the future from when this was recorded) and his own philosophy of why comedy is needed to help us not take ourselves too seriously. Remember, he said: “we still are part animal.”
And then Robin Williams breaks down the comedy of sex and the universal faces people make during lovemaking. Classic. Needless to say, we loved animating the noises Robin Williams made. Finally he turns to the joys of having children and looks inward at his own shortcomings and, of course, being hairy.
Enjoy, everybody. RIP, Robin. We miss you.
ROBIN WILLIAMS QUOTES
“The face you make when you have an orgasm… Everyone looks pretty fucking stupid”
“You have to be more aware of the inner circle, the folks that matter."
“You always want to make sure that everyone in the audience is all taken care of. That constant desire to please all the time. That can get you in some shit.”
