Happy Birthday Robin Williams

tags: , , ,

Yesterday was Robin Williams' 57th birthday, so I have dug up a video of him performing at the Met, back when he was still funny.

I had this video for years until someone borrowed it and never returned it. Still one of his best performances, especially the part about baby ca-ca, which I totally agreed with (and found even funnier) the second I became a parent.

Shamefully, its not available on DVD (although there is a CD available). However, a search on Google shows it to be available on torrent...

Hey, he's still funny! Did you ever see the HBO special he did a few years back?
