    Timeless Manic Hysteria

    An extremely enjoyable fast-paced barrage of Robin Williams live in San Francisco. He is amazing to watch as he bounces of audience members and his own manic genius. Highly recommended for those who have only seen Robin in the movies. It is impossible not to laugh out loud, as funny as Eddie Murphy's Delirious. The only drawback is the 'encore' and the ending which incorporate one of his SNL characters. Nevertheless it is well worth watching.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When imitating Alexander Haig doing late night commercials, Robin sang, "If you want a better deal, go see Al." This was a parody of commercials in Southern California at the time for Cal Worthington Ford in Long Beach. (The "go see Cal" part was often also mistaken as "pussy cow" due to how the singer said it.)
    • Goofs
      At the end when Robin meets up with his alter ego from the beginning, he says "Pop?" but his mouth doesn't move.
    • Quotes

      Robin Williams: [to his son who doesn't want to do comedy] What? "Ninny-ninny" wasn't good enough for you? Popeye wasn't good enough for you?

      Robin Williams: [as his son] Popeye wasn't good enough for anybody! Who are you kidding?
