Robin Williams: Weapons of Self Destruction

To celebrate the "birthday" of the famous Improv comedy club, 6 famous comedians get up on stage and do their thing. However, to make things interesting, while each one does his particular routine, the other 5 comics sit at the back of the stage and heckle the performer. This video is especially notable for Martin Mull issuing a zinger at Robin Williams that shuts-up the otherwise motor-mouthed comic for at least 5 seconds. —Afterburner <aburner@erols.com>

The funniest comedy routines I have ever Seen

I can't remember when I saw this, but it was many years ago.

I still recall the routine between Robin Williams (sadly deceased yesterday hence my remembering thi)s and Billy Crystal.

I have never laughed so much. how those guys think of the replies so quickly is just amazing.

Martin Mull looked completely gob-smacked on many occasions.

I wished I could get hold of a copy of this now to remember the comedic excellence of these guys. I only recall the three I mention above so,would love to refresh my memory of the other comedians again, even my wife laughed at the humour and that's a tough event to make occur.
