Funny to hear him with the faux Romanian gibberish for the Nadia bit, since he actually learned Russian later on for “Moscow on the Hudson.” Terrific movie.
I have loved this album ever since it was released. Every time I listen to Robin perform his brilliant comedy, I laugh till I cry, and I listen to this dozens of times. It will always be funny.
Anybody out there know who Rev. Ernest Angley was- my friend and I never missed him Sunday morning and laughed so hard we feel off the couch and then ROBIN DID HIM!!!! Miss this astonishing genius...
I have been listening to this album since it was released in the 70s. After all these years I still laugh. One of the funniest lines to me is a New York echo at 1{22. I don't know why it cracks me up, it just does. I just wish there had been a live video of this performance.
I was nine years old when I bought this album with my allowance money. It had a sticker on it that kids could only buy it if a parent was with them, and my dad went with me so I could buy it. I have always loved Robin Williams. He was a blessing to this world. I couldn't watch any of his work for over a year after his death, because I would cry just thinking about the fact he was no longer with us. He was such a breath of fresh air, and a wonderful comedian.
Absolutely astounding. Some of the funniest shit I have ever heard in my life. Grew up with his Comedy, as well as Carlin and Pryor…but the man was definitely in his own category.
I bought it new too. I read years later that Robin and Neil Bogart of Casablanca records got into a studio and went on a week long coke bender while they mixed the album.
I bought this and found years and years later, his other comedy album, Throbbing Python of Love with his high school yearbook picture on the cover. When I heard this the first time, I laughed so hard that I "literally" fell off the couch. I still smile to remember. I miss him so much! Good to hear this again.
