Very sad. Very sorry to hear he had been struggling with depression. Rest in peace.

 

[Clov]

This is truly terrible. I'm at a loss for words. RIP.

 

[Kerned]

How absolutely shocking and terrible. I feel awful for his family, having your loved one be a public figure has to make this sort of situation so much worse.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Never have a friend like me. :|

Robin had a great flair for comedic singing. When he sang 'Blame Canada' at the oscars I just about died laughing.

 

[KittenMaster]

A part of my childhood just passed away. I thank him for a lot of joy brought to my life.

 

[Silky]

Holy shit is Twitter down???

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

...

 

[d[-_-]b]

RIP Robin...

 

[Pantsuit Apologist]

Ugh, that's terrible.

I can still recall sitting on the couch and watching Mork & Mindy with my dad.

 

[Tom Nook]

I'm speechless.....

RIP

The list of famous people died this year......fuck 2014.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

So surreal.

 

[SporeCrawler]

I always felt a hint of sadness in his eyes even though most of his works were of comedic nature. I liked him even more for that but maybe he was really sad but just smiled

 

[Haeralis The BRave]

I'm shocked right now... this is honestly the most awful celebrity death I've experienced

 

[Zombie James]

Shit

 

[Darkmakaimura]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

Don't do this.

 

[DoktorEvil]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

Uh.

 

[flozuki]

So sad, this will be a sleepless night. R.I.P.

 

[smurfx]

had no idea he was battling depression. then again most comics usually have some demons.

[Freedom = $1.05]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

If he was depressed he wasn't acting in a logical way. Unless you've been through it, you might not know how truly terrible it feels.

 

[rjinaz]

I just saw them talking about it on MSNBC. This is tragic.

Why is this always posted? Who gives a shit about the people who've never heard of him. It's like people want to be outraged. This thread should be about remembering his life and mourning his loss not quoting pics of people saying"Who'. It happens in every death thread. I don't get the point.

 

[Nanashrew]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

Don't even start this.

[pariah164]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

Don't. Just don't even.

 

[Axial]

You guys are mad because some people didn't know who someone was? classy.

Some people are just clueless, I for one have no idea who Kim Kardashian is.

 

[Kriken]

This is leaving a much bigger impact than Michael Jackson's death did, never realized how big of an impact he made on the movies I watched growing up ;_;

 

[D23]

I'm shocked right now... this is honestly the most awful celebrity death I've experienced

Seriously I feel the same way.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Oh my god...

 

[Zomba13]

Saw this randomly mentioned in the Giant Bomb thread on gaming side and thought it was a joke but then there was a BBC link and now I'm super upset.

Genie from Aladdin will always be my favourite of his roles I think because I love that movie and it was one of my favourite Disney films as a child (and still is of course).

RIP

 

[Lastgengamer]

My heart goes out to Zelda Williams.

 

[StayDead]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

Apparently he was suffering really badly from depression and depression makes people do really awful things

 

[SolidsnackooFoxhound]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

Burn in hell.

 

[Crash Station]

Ugh, this has not been a good week. RIP, and hope you're doing okay, Zelda

 

[Lashley]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

No. Fuck off with this shit right now.

 

[Prompto]

RIP This is probably the saddest I've felt about a celebrity death ever.

 

[Volimar]

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

His appearance on Whose Line was one of the best ever. He will be missed.

 

[m_shortpants]

Holy...this is nuts. Condolences to his family. Particularly Zelda

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

We've lost a fucking giant.

This is a horrible, unthinkable day.

I don't think I've had this reaction to someone I didn't know dying since Phil Hartman.

 

[EGM1966]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

Why dont you google "depression"?

 

[CelticKnight]

...

Not cool. There's a time and place, and this is neither.

 

[EdibleKnife]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

Yeah sure. He did it to spite his family. Most reasonable stance on this whole thing. /s

 

[avaya]

RIP

 

[CreeperBlocks]

What a shitty thing for a father to do.

Don't Fucking Start.

My wife and I just got home from a wonderful day out together and then I sit down and the first thing I see just about is this thread. This is devastating, he was one of my all time favorite celebrities of all time. I love his comedies, but a part of me always loved his dramatic roles even more. Insomnia, One Hour Photo, and many more including the amazing Awakenings. This is one of my favorite films ever, and I hate that so few people ever mention it. I haven't even seen it hardly mentioned with this news. If you haven't seen it, go watch it please...

RIP Mr. Robin Williams, you were a legend and will always be missed.

It is such a shame that so many of those that bring us to tears with laughter ultimately bring us to tears with their terribly sad and depressing deaths. Have it be drugs, and overdose, or a suicide it is just awful. No matter if you liked his style of comedy or not, he obviously tried so hard to bring a smile to everyone and it was killing him on the inside, at least in part. It has been rumored for a long time, but ugh, just so sad. Thanks for the memories.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Well shit, this is just horrible news. My thoughts go out to his family.

 

[speculawyer]

Wow. :-(

I can't say I'm surprised. Comedians often hide great pain.

Perhaps he relapsed and decided he had enough.

 

[Vestal]

First George Carlin back in 08 and now Robin Williams. Two true fucking artists of the craft.

My favorite two comedians gone.


Thank you for all the laughs Robin, you truly were a master and one of a kind.
