I was only able to get through about 30 seconds of this at a time.
I loved Mork & Mindy when I was a kid (and still do through the lens of nostalgia) but aside from that, I don’t find Robin Williams very funny. Maybe it was always Pam Dawber that made the show work. I think Williams is a great actor. He’s amazing in the rarely seen Seize the Day. I even think his performance in Robert Altman’s Popeye has a lot of uncredited depth.
Oh, and of course:
Yet, as a comedian, Williams reminds me of someone’s uncle after too much wine at Thanksgiving. Give me Madeline Kahn any day.
Kelly Clarkson, Coffee Ambassador…
My favorite part of this Green Mountain coffee commercial: “Ambassador” Kelly Clarkson manages three Spanish phrases (“buenos dias,” “salud,” and “cinco”) yet asks the Peruvian coffee bean picker a full English sentence and apparently expects him to understand. And he probably does, which is the ultimate indictment of our education system.
