Robin Williams on Golf

The stand-up comedians normally discuss a simple part of life and make it funny discussing the small stupid stuff people do in life. Robin Williams is an actor and stand-up comedian who is able to describe the simple game of golf in a very funny way. He says, “The way you play golf is you hit a small ball into a gofer hole. Is this hole close?! Fuck No! It is hundreds of yards away!” It is very funny because he asks questions and answers them himself. When he answers his own questions, which is part of the reason he is so funny.
Robin Williams was able to incorporate his audience into the conversation about the game of golf because everybody knows the concept of the game of golf and can relate to it. Everyone has the same feeling of getting very frustrated when they are unable to hit the ball or unable to the ball into the hole. When he made the comment about a person thinks they are going to have a stroke every time they hit the ball and that is why they call it a stroke. I laughed really hard because I actually play golf and I know the feeling.
What makes Robin Williams’ performance unique is the way he describes every time he says no to the questions asked, he always answers, “Fuck No”! He also comments on the stereotype of the Scottish people wearing kilts and playing golf and the accent they have. His stand-up comedian act would not be the same without his accent. They mention the clothes that the golfers wear, the lack of athletic ability, and the commentary of the professional golf association.
Robin Williams, like most other stand up comedians, fluctuates his voice and changes his voice when he does an accent or is being another character. He puts on the accent of a person from Scotland throughout the entire act because he is being a Scottish act until the last 20 seconds of the act.
