I can't believe this. OK, I can, but I don't want to. Robin Williams? Gone? Aw, crud.

Robin is one of the two funniest comedians I have ever seen. (The other being John Cleese.) He wasn't limited to making us laugh, though. He...aw, crud. I'll miss him. And I'll remember him as the Genie, Mrs. Doubtfire, Popeye, and the many other characters he played which are among my DVD collection.

This really is a major blow to everyone. When i first saw i kinda thought it was a hoax but seeing it on BBC news moments later confirmed it to be sadly true. up until till now apart from Jim and Michael Jackson no celebrity death has really hit me that hard. But Robin Williams definitely has. It didn't matter where you saw or heard him first whether that be Mork and Mindy or Aladdin you could not deny he was a brilliant actor and comedian and will entertain many generations in the future even if he isn't on the stage. Nanu Nanu and thanks for the laughs and smiles Robin.

I was shocked when I heard the news. I loved Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, Patch Adams, Jumanji, Flubber and of course, all of his appearances on Sesame Street.

Did you know that they were gonna have Robin as a guest star on The Muppet Show for season 4?

What? That would've been awesome! I saw him in person last year in a show and loved every minute of it.
RIP Robin Williams
