Robin’s death hit me super mega hard. It’s one of those “I remember where I was when” moments. I was in my room & it came on my phone that he died & I ran outside to my parents, on the pool deck and said “you won’t believe it, Robin Williams died”. Very sad because he was my #1 bonified favourite comedian, actor & entertainer.
I CAN NOT watch Patch Adams or Mrs. Doubtfire without learning something new every time.
Two words robin Williams
Curly Howard
Death to Smoochy was ahead of it's time. Besides that movie his performance on The Richard Pryor show was hilarious. It's a To Kill a Mockingbird parody.
Honorable mentions:
1. Robin Harris
2. Charlie Murphy
3. Teddy Ray
4. Richard Pryor
5. John Witherspoon
Greg Giraldo, Brody Stevens, and Richard Jeni as well
Everyone seems to forget about Jim Varney funny guy in the 80s the voice of slinky dog from toy story all the Ernest scared stupid saves Christmas and he was clean and so funny one of my top three comedians all time
Robin Harris was so memorable in House Party.
@@TheMichaelLombardo Brody Stevens? This guy gets it.
It’s been over 14 years since the famous comedian, and film/TV actor Bernie Mac passed away.
😞
I'm still shocked he's not here anymore
I still miss Bernie, America
Yes, definitely. Still, laugh when he said him downstairs
Robin Williams.
It’s been over several years.
We still miss him a lot…
Honestly without Robin. The world remains unfunny
They day he died, I was going in for a medical procedure. When I woke up, it was like I was waking up to a nightmare. Worst: we were in the SAME county (Marin County) but at different cities. To this day I feel like he traded-in his life for mine.
I'll always miss that lovable goofball; he was my fave comedian, with Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler tying for a close second and Steve Carrell just barely in third... He'll be forever missed... 🥺 My fave Robin Williams film will always be Mrs. Doubtfire... 😊
8 years!!! Robin's hypermanic ADD\OCD kept us all in stitches!!
Knotty: Don't call him "Mork"!😁
"Mork! No! No!"
John Ritter, John Candy, Phil Hartman and Robin Williams were such favorites for me. Williams taking his own life and Phil Hartman's death are still painful today 😢
John Ritter! That man was a master of physical comedy when playing Jack Tripper on “Three’s Company”.
I grew up watching Three Company because of my mom. When he passed I was so upset because I was watching 8 simple rules and was excited to see him on tv again. 😢
He played the Rev. Fordwick on "The Walton's". He left that show to do "Three's Company".
@@nicoleknight9412 I’m glad he did. I wonder if he was a a gourmet chef just like Jack was. I really miss that man.😭
One of my favorite movies as a kid was the movie "Stay tuned" with Ritter being the star... must've watched that movie over 30 times..
Sigh... Im gonna watch it with my kids tonight =(
@@ColinoDeani His physical comedy on Three’s Company was astounding! I wonder if he was as good of a cook as his character, Jack.
Wow, I'd forgotten about John Ritter
John Belushi, my gosh. Think of how many comedians we wouldn't have if not for him.
Bob Saget as Danny Tanner from Full House was a staple of my childhood.
Norm MacDonald, I'm so glad I got a chance to see him in concert.
And wow, Phil Hartman. That was such a tragic loss. There was nothing he couldn't do.
How could I forget John Candy?! Spaceballs is one of my favorite movies ever.
Robin Williams, to this day I can't watch Aladdin or Good Will Hunting without weeping.
And Chris Farley was John Belush reincarnate. A great big personality for a great big guy.
All of them, legends.
Miss all of these amazing stars, including Robin Williams, Gilbert Gottfried and Bob Saget. They truly defined the comedy world. Rest in Peace
In 2022, we lost Gilbert Gottfried, Bob Saget and Louie Anderson
They could of all lived to 100 and it would still be to soon 💔
Norm Macdonald, that old lump of coal, was incredible. And ridiculously underrated.
Bob was a total nonce, do your research 👀
@@davinp aw dam Louie Anderson passed this year?I didn't even know..I grew up on the life with Louie cartoon and loved watching his other shows.
John Candy, Bernie Mac & Robin Williams are number one for me. All incredibly fun loving people with beautiful souls🖤🙌🏾🙏🏾 regardless, Rest In Peace to all these amazing talents!🙏🏾
I still can't believe Robin Williams is gone. What a legend. RIP 💔
Me neither :(
I still really miss him, too...
I still miss Robin Williams a lot. But his memories in Aladdin as the genie will be in my heart forever.
Edit: I really miss Bob Saget a lot as well. Full house will never be the same.
I couldn't have said it better, Dia... They were both brilliant...
He was also the original host on "America's Funniest Home Videos".
@@nicoleknight9412 yeah.
@@jcfreak4ever1 yup
This world really needs a little Robin Williams right now
Needs more than a little of Robin Williams
Yeah, tell me about it...
I’m sorry, but we all die when we die. No matter how much anybody might want Robin Williams back, I wouldn’t know what good that would do! God knew when enough had happened to Robin Williams, and I’d have many memories of Robin. It’s too bad you didn’t enjoy enough of what he did to entertain anybody before he died.
It’s not that I don’t care what people say when they say they want a dead person back. I understand why those people say that, but it wouldn’t be any use bringing anyone back from the dead because what more would be worth happening to them regarding safety?
I was 12 when Robin Williams died, 9 years later he still makes me laugh and smile
@@cbsteffen😐🤦♀️
Norm Macdonald’s death hit me hard. He was my favourite comedian. I was really sad about Robin Williams, Bob Saget and Gilbert Gottfried but man, Norm’s death hurt. The only celebrity death where I didn’t just tear up, I openly cried. I still miss him almost a year later.
Rest In Peace every comedian on this list, especially Robin Williams,Norm Macdonald and Gilbert Gottfried. we miss you guys every day!
Your comment just informed me about Norm Macdonald and Gilbert Gottfried. The Ralphie May entry informed me about his death and he died 5 years ago.
Amen to this.
Fish for likes much??
@@marcjameswhelan Really? do you seriously have to jump to that dumb assumption?
Agree they are all gods
Curly Howard from The Three Stooges who also died pretty young at the age of 48 years old
I’d put George Carlin on the list. The guy was 72, but he could have lived to 100 and it wouldn’t have been long enough. Like Bill Hicks and Lenny Bruce, he just told the truth. He didn’t BS his audience just to get a laugh. And half of their material would be banned today.
Not only was he a great comedian, but he called out people that needed to be made fun of. If you listen to him now days, his comedy still seems relevant and modern.
He needed to have his brain put into an android. Imagine the comedy specials he would have today.
The fact Carlin made it to 72 was remarkable really
Yes...I'd love to hear him talk about topics like Obama...Trump...Tweeter...Bitcoin...
Justin Bieber...among many other things
And he was also Philmore on Cars
This list makes me sad to see how much talent we've lost. They all blessed us all with their talent and laughter and many many memories. 🕊️🙏❤️
“Men want to be alone … but we don’t want to be by ourselves… does that make sense?” 😂😂 he hit the mail on the head

I know she was 99 but for me losing Betty White was especially heartbreaking. I hoped that she would at least make it to her 100th birthday
Oh definitely
wasn't it like 3 days short?
they had a whole 100th birthday celebration planned, and I can't believe they didn't do something with it. they could have aired rehearsal footage and testimonials or something
Her birthday is the day after mine... Jan 16.
@@ejgoldlust 3 weeks short
Rest In Peace Robin Williams.
O Captain my Captain!
Gibert Gottfried was literally hilarious, and a wonderful human being just like the others who aren’t with us in this world…
I suggest watching his cold ones cameo videos. they were so good haha
Loved Dr. Bender in Fairly Ord Parents
"YOU FOOL" never gets old 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those roasts he did had every Roaster on the panels and the Roastees terrified!! 😂🤣
"JAAAAAAAAANE LYNCH!! AFTER SHE MUFF-MUNCHES, SHE GETS UP ON STAGE AND SPRAYS A PELT OF PUBES ALL OVER THE MICROPHONE!! JAAAAAAAANE LYNCH..."🤣
His role as Iago will always be his greatest role, as well as the World's Dirtiest Joke!
One comedian who wasn't taken too soon but will still be missed nonetheless. Rodney Dangerfield.
yes....
Sad hes not listed here... he still gets no respect😔😔
@@ColinoDeani ffs got there before me!
that moment you realize that John Ritter was the voice of Clifford the Big Red Dog in the cartoons
Whatttt???! 😳 That show was my childhood... I can't believe he voiced Clifford.
For Robin Williams, the memories: singing Friend Like Me, great acting in Hook, Jumanji, FernGully: The Last Rainforest and more. When I saw Alan Parrish was Here carved on a tree in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, I cried
Genie, Teddy Roosevelt, Peter Pan, Patch Adam's, GOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAAAM!; all of his achievements will be treasured and loved for all eternity
@@adamzabielski3685 his “weaker” movies were Toys, Father’s Day, Bicentennial Man, Flubber. No one ever talks about those movies
I loved Flubber!
@@jcfreak4ever1 yeah, it was an entertaining kids movie. It was a remake of the Absent Minded Professor movie from the 60s with Fred McMurray
One of my favorite Chris Farley moments has to be his appearance as the ketchup chef on All That. He was a guest on Kenan Thompson's 'Cooking with Randy' skit. Randy was known for his obsession with chocolate. Farley's character is obsessed with ketchup. The sketch was pure chaos, and little kid me adored it
Same!
Farley had his moments when he was funny, that was it. I liked the Matt Foley motivational speaker skit and the Chip N Dale dancer skit… even though I feel guilty about laughing now
YES, pure chaos. Man I loved All That. What a great way for kids to enjoy our own version of sketch comedy.
My favorite memories of Phil Hartman is when he provided the voice for the air conditioner in the famous and popular Walt Disney movie, The Brave Little Toaster.
Roberta Henley don't forget Troy McClure on the Simpsons miss that character 🙏😞
@@vontesantos5981 Yes, I know.
I really miss Robin Williams. He will always be our genie😭🧞♂
I’m very glad to see Norm get recognition in the thumbnail and intro.
he had a funny but sad way of sayig that it would be a draw if the cancer dies along him. what a trooper
Greg Giraldo? At least have a 'honorable mention'...
I love Robin and Gilbert, but they slayed the comedy world. Their resumes say it all. When I hear 'Gone too soon' I picture someone who had so much more. Not to say the ones I mentioned didn't, but you gotta choose wisely.
Norm Mcdonald was so awesome that they featured him twice.
RIP Sam Kinison.
Most original comic, ever.
Yes, he helped inspire 2 of my favorite comics of all-time, the late career resurgence of George Carlin and Bill Hicks, who was a contemporary of his in the Texas Outlaws of Comedy.
Rest in Peace all of you...you all truly brought happiness to everyone & none of you will ever be forgotten. 🙇🏿♂️❤
Every comic on this list is GREATLY missed by all. They all kept us all just a little happier when we were down in the pits, literally in the shits or trying to find some amount of joy from the everyday thing that is life.
I also believe that if they were alive today that they'd get us back to a semblance of common sense in a world that is now divided and at each other's throats almost everyday for the most mundane of things.
I personally went to Robin Williams for my joy and to reignite the "spark" in my life. Much like everyone else, i miss him and the others dearly.
We're all trying to find the smile and joy in a world were it's looking to destroy itself from within
So many on this list will never be forgotten. May they all RIP. Thankful for the laughter they brought us over the years.
Sitcom dads like Bob Saget, James Avery, Bernie Mac, and John Ritter all left too soon. They’re the ones I came to associate with as ideal dads with different personalities that were likable.
It's hard to make a List like this
A lot of these comedians lived a Long, full Life.
Some, unfortunately, Didn't.
One of my all time favourites was Freddie Prinze Definitely the prince of comedy
Genie and Iago are still my top favorite Disney characters. Still breaks my heart knowing that they're no longer with us.
RIP Williams and Gottfried 😭😭😭😭😭😭
So MANY of my favorite comedians are on this list. Literally, almost every single person (except maybe 2 people) on this list I grew up watching and laughing with/at during my childhood/teenage years. To this day I still miss Sam Kinison, Norm MacDonald, John Belushi, Chris Farley, Gilbert Godfried, and Robin Williams the most. I don't find many of 'today's comedians' very funny. Not like how it was with these amazing talented comedians.
Rest in Peace, Legends, and thank you for the countless hours of laughter.
Miss everyone on this list. John Candy’s death was the first celebrity death that really got to me. He was such an important part of my childhood.
This old world 🌎🌍 could use a man like Robin Williams ! Rest in peace !
Robin Wiliams. A man that will never be replaced. It's a stigma that men can't talk about mental health! Men account for almost 70% of all suicides! Talking about it makes you no less of a man! I wish good mental health to you all!!
that's complete bullshit. women aren't either, or we're attention-seeking, being hysterical, etc. williams had a degenerative brain disease, not a mental illness. he was literally going insane. he wasn't depressed.
For Norm McDonald, I loved him as the voice of Death in Family Guy and Mogins in Klaus
You forgot to mention also these great comedians: Carol Lombard who died in a plane crash in 1942, and was only 33 years old; Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle who was 43 years old when he died in 1933; Uncle Arthur on Bewitched, Paul Lynde, in 1982. He was 55. Finally but not least, the great and unforgetable, Peter Sellers, who passed in 1980 at the age of 54. Who can forget Chief Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series?
Props for mentioning Patrice on Opie and Anthony. Never thought O&A would ever get mentioned on this channel
R.I.P. Robin Williams. The world is a darker place without you.
That’s because so many idiots are taking over! 😢
Robin Williams,Bob Saget,Phil Hartman,Chris Farley,Norm MacDonald,Bernie Mac,Charlie Murphy,etc 😔 🙏🏾
Love the fact that Patrice O'Neal was mentioned and even more so that they acknowledged Opie and Anthony and his appearances on their show. He was an icon on that show and his death really hit hit the fans hard.... Rest in Peace Patriki
Heard joke once:
Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.
Doctor says: "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up."
Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor…I am Pagliacci."
Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.
This is a classic. Good job my dude
Bot
Bernie Mac, Chris Farley and John Candy will forever be missed by me the most. 💙
Loved Robin Harris, John Candy, Jon Belushi, & Bernie Mac! All of da comedians on this list will be missed! Chris Farley was crazy & very funny also!
Yes! I was so shocked when my mom texted me that Gilbert Gottfried had died. That was just a week after the death of Estelle Harris who I remember as Muriel, the maid at the Tipton hotel on “The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody”. Hard to believe it’s been a few months since they both passed on already. Both of them definitely had very unique voices, very high-pitched and nasally.
Wha-?? Estelle's died?? Holy crap, she was brilliant on that show, and she'll be greatly missed!
@@jcfreak4ever1 Oh man. I’m sorry you didn’t already know yeah sadly she died a week before Gilbert.
Thank you for not having the numbered ratings showing, it shows more respect for these late greats.
Hot take: even tho I’m devastated about Robin Williams’ death I feel like he passed away at a time where he was done making movies anyways
either way he should still be alive even if he's not making movies
@@tidepodpadthai2633 I agree
Hot take cosigned.
I’m sure he would have been in the new jumanji if he was still alive at least a cameo
Two absolutely CRIMINAL omissions:
1) Greg Giraldo
Even worse
2) Richard Jeni
I loved both of them so much. Patrice O'neal who is also one of my all-time faves and Giraldo died relatively close together. Man that was depressing.
Richard Jeni was simply amazing.
Absolutely Greg and Richard were amazing working man comics that all other standups respected.
Makes me want to cry. I will mourn those comedians.
The late great Robin Harris should've been on this list... Gone too soon & terribly missed... 🙏🕊
Patrice O’Neal and Robin Williams literally some of my favorite favorite comedians
Rest in paradise Teddy Ray 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I have followed most of the comics on this list from the time that I was in kindergarden during the early 80s and they were all super awesome for sure. I remember John Ritter in the IT mini series and how well he was in that along with being a sadistic uncle who was a police cheif in the 4th Chucky film, The Bride of Chucky and seeing both John Ritter and Gilbert Gottfried in the 2nd Problem Child film in 1992. However, Robin Williams will always be my favorite for both drama and comedy and it is too bad that no one knew what he truly had until after his death 8yrs ago. And, Robin Harris and George Carlin should both be on this list for sure.
Robin, chris, Norm, bob, sam, bernie, both john the hole list is great people each one hit my funny bone.. I love anyone who can make me laugh.. Rest in paradise and god bless everyone on this list life is hard sometimes all we need is to smile.
I never knew that about Phil Hartman! I loved him, and was an avid fan of news radio
John Candy maaannnn he was in just about every one one of my fave 80’s movies 😕
“These men made us laugh, but they made us cry in the end.”
I've always found it to be so sad that the most brilliant comics are so damaged. So many of these people suffered from depression and substance abuse, but they blessed us with so much joy and so many laughs
Curly Howard belongs on this list! He was only 49 when he checked out!
Robin Williams and Bernie Mac's passing really affected me. I grew up watching both men as a kid in the 90s. Ironically Robin Williams died on my husband's birthday and he's not even a fan of Robin Williams(shame on him). Phil Hartman's death was very tragic as well as much as the rest of the men and women mentioned on this video. Rip
Danitra Vance, also an SNL member. So little of her work is on UA-cam, but if you ever get to see her explanation of Shakespeare, it is genius.
One of my favorites was John Pinette. He had good clean humor, but there was more he could do. I think I went to one of his last performances before he passed.
I saw John in 2007, fantastic show! Another one who died too young was Richard Jenni, sadly by his own hand.
Don Knott John Ritter and robin Williams will all be missed great comedians
20: John Ritter

I cried my eyes out when John Ritter died. He was hilarious!!
I still haven’t accepted Cameron Boyce’s death, it’s too unreal for me 😭
with every one of these, I kept saying.....WOW I CAN"T BELIEVE we lost that one.....it's like a who's who of comedy with a tragic twist to it. I still love every one of them.
I know Mr Rickles lived to be relatively old but he's still so very missed. Personally one of my favorites. Even though his prime was before my time, as a fan of stand up comedy I've watched clips of him for many years. Carlin, Rickles, and Chappelle are my personal 3 favorites.
I found by just random circumstances, Patrice O'Neol. He was at his best, live on the radio. I happened to find Opie & Anthony in a market that usually don't do risky shows. I immediately knew I was in a special place at a special time. I heard him and realized he was special and made me laugh when my life was such that all I did was cry. I credit O'Neil and Rich Vos and O & A for me breaking out of that funk and by extension saved my life. I still to this day find old shit and listen and it's just as good now as it was then. I still get jokes I didn't get then.
Thank for this list. It really hit home.
REST EASY TEDDY RAY. THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS BROTHER❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷
I remeber seeing Adam Sandler, David Spade, Rob Schnieder, Tim Meadows And Norm Macdonald at the bellco theatre in denver, Norm came out drunk mumbling, lifting his shirt up and saying food baby multiple times couldnt stop laughing!!!!!!!
Robin Williams is #1...He was the greatest comedian who has EVER lived!! His comedy will live on forever, the man ahs made billions of people laugh, and will make billions more laugh
I find it odd that a list whose whole point centered on how young these people were nevertheless gave almost none of their ages. So, I have them here:
1. Chris Farley (33)
2. Robin Williams (63)
3. John Candy (43)
4. Phil Hartman (49)
5. Gilda Radner (42)
6. Norm MacDonald (61)
7. Bernie Mac (50)
8. Bob Saget (65)
9. Gilbert Gottfried (67)
10. Andy Kaufman (35)
11. Bill Hicks (32)
12. Mitch Hedberg (37)
13. Sam Kinison (38)
14. Freddie Prinze (22)
15. John Belushi (33)
16. Lenny Bruce (40)
17. Ralphie May (45)
18. Madeline Kahn (57)
19. Patrice O'Neal (41)
20. John Ritter (54)
I would also add that this list would definitely have been improved with the inclusion of Monty Python great Graham Chapman, who died of throat cancer at age 48.
Over 8 years since Robin Williams passed and over a year since Norm Macdonald passed. I still can’t believe those two are gone.
Mitch Hedberg was an American treasure. "I used to do a lot of drugs. I still do... but I used to, too." ... fracking awesome!
I miss Robin Williams he was stared in Happy feet, and Happy feet 2 , Aladdin, etc RIP to him and all the other comedy actors. 🥺
Rest In Peace Teddy Ray ❤️
I'm glad UA-cam put Death to Smoochy and Dirty Work on here. Makes you sad that they're all gone but we have their work to make us smile.
Robin Williams, Gilbert Gottfried, Norm MacDonald, John Candy, Chris Farley
Also an Honorable Mention to John Pinette too.
I will never understand how we as a society agreed to not use “Die“ or “Died“ .. “Murdered“ “Killed“ we have to say “Expired“ or “Gone away “ .. cmon people .. we die .. because we don’t say it it’s not “going away” .. Death is around any corner .. that’s what makes life worth living .. that we can go and we should try to be happy now .. it’s crazy we can’t say “ DIE “ anymore 🤦🏻♂️ it’s embarrassing
You missed one: John Pinette, a very funny comedian and actor who died rather young at age 50 in 2014 from a health issue likely related to his obesity.
The line of heavy comedians who have died young from weight-related issues stretch back generations. From Roscoe "Don't call him Fatty to his face" Arbuckle to Curly Howard to Lou Costello to latter-day comics like O'Neal, Pinette, etc.
I miss so many. Chris Farley, Freddie Prinze, John Ritter, Gilda Radner, and of course Robin Williams. All so talented and all gone much too soon.
Never realized Belushi was gone so early because I obviously watched him on TV in the early 80’s WELL after his death .
I don’t think I knew Sam Kinison used to be a preacher 😂
If see an interviews of anyone who knew Chris Farley, they can't go more than a few minutes of talking about him without getting emotional, even 25 years after his death.
Chris Farley was a very sad, tragic person! The pity I had for him was indescribable. When I learned how much he hated himself, I actually feel guilty for laughing now
Omg John Candy was so hilarious & funny!! Planes, Trains Automobiles, Uncle Buck, were just a few of his movie credits.
Robin Williams was a loss felt across the country. He was hilarious, he could do serious & he was absolutely 💯 the best at improving!!
I saw Mitch Hedberg on stage just months before he died. He also appeared once in a very funny role on That 70's Show.
RIP Gilbert Gottfried and Robin Williams.
Aka Genie and Iago.
Anyone who devotes their lives to making people laugh can't live long enough imho. R.I.P. to them all.
I think if there were ever a biopic for Gilda Radner, I think Renée Zellweger will make a easy choice to play her.
I’m a fan of nearly all the stars mentioned here. So sad that so many greats passed away in their prime. Deaths of comedians like John Candy, Chris Farley, Robin Williams and Mitch Hedberg affect me to this day. Can’t even count how many times I’ve watched PTA or Tommy Boy, for example.
Bernie Mac was my favorite comedian. His stand up special was hilarious!
If Chris Farely hadn't have followed in John Belusi and John Candy's footsteps he'd still be around today. His friends even told him to slow down with the lifestyle he was choose behind the scenes. RIP all the comedians that were on this list.
Shrek would also be entirely different too.
Farley was a man who needed to please everyone and he just became friends with the wrong people. The leeches and scumbags he was around at the end used him till there was nothing left.
No, not John Candy. Belushi, yes. But not John Candy. I wish people would stop comparing Candy to Farley, Candy was NOTHING like Farley. Candy was actually a respectable actor, unlike Farley and Candy’s life wasn’t totally outta control like Farley’s and Belushi’s
@@nsasupporter7557 according to Adam Sandler's tribute song to Chris. Chris also liked to over eat and didn't pick the healthy of food just like John Candy. Chris even said John Candy was one of his idols.
@@cjhansen6618 over eating was just part of it… he was a drug addict and chased prostitutes. Candy had a little bit of a drinking problem but nothing like John Belushi or Chris Farley’s lives. Both of their lives were totally out of control
Belushi, Candy & Farley would've been a hell of a comedy team.
