Robin Williams clip mocking Joe Biden in 2009 resurfaces on social media as sixth anniversary of comedian’s death nears
A ROBIN Williams clip mocking Joe Biden in 2009 has resurfaced on social media as the sixth anniversary of the comedian’s death nears.
The snippet from Williams’ HBO special ‘Weapons of Self Destruction’ was posted to Twitter in which he nicknames the then-vice president “rambling Joe”.
“We still have comedy though, we still have great comedy out there,” Robin Williams tells a laughing crowd.
“There’s always rambling Joe Biden. What the f**k.
‘RAMBLING JOE BIDEN’
“Joe says s**t that even people with Tourette’s go, ‘No, no. What is going on?'”
The stand-up routine continued: “Joe is like your uncle who is on a new drug and hasn’t got the dosage right.”
The clip has now gone viral with fans tweeting that if Williams were still alive today, he’d have even more material to work with.
“He’d have even more ammunition with Joe Biden at present, as the guy cant keep it together at the rallies. But yes miss Robin Williams humour,” one Twitter user said.
“I’m telling you all right now, you may love the packaging, but the present inside is the same guy Robin Williams skewered, as I was reminded today. He’s still cranky, hostile to questioning, anti-progressive, jail-filling, law-hardening, not Trump,” another replied.
“This pretty much sums it all up. The D in Democrat stands for dementia,” another joked.
Others called Williams’ past analysis of the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee “absolutely great” and said the late “Mrs. Doubtfire” star “just SAVAGES” Biden.
Others pointed out that Williams also took cracks at President Trump, too.
One man tweeted: “He would be killing it if he was still around to roast Trump. Trump makes a comedians job easy with his daily ramblings.”
UNDER ATTACK
Biden recently came under fire for his remarks about African American and Latino diversity.
His mental competency has also been attacked by President Trump, who recently told Fox News anchor Chris Wallace that he is not fit for the oval office.
“To be president you have to be sharp and tough and so many other things. He doesn’t even come out of his basement” President Trump said.
During the interview, Biden was asked about his thoughts on the President making his mental competency an issue.
“Well, if he can’t figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion, I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about,” Biden said.

Last week, podcasting king Joe Rogan said Joe Biden is “mentally compromised” after the presidential candidate’s latest “cocaine” gaffe.
In an interview with the CBS reporter Errol Barnett, the 77-year-old former vice president fiercely insisted that he had not, and does not need to take a cognitive exam.
Biden then launched into a bizarre drug-testing analogy in response.
“Come on, man. That’s like saying you, before you got on this program, you take a test where you’re taking cocaine or not”, he said.
Rogan criticized Biden for this apparent lack of lucidity, as well as Biden’s decision to stay home during his campaign.
“I believe there is also [a] large group of people that are very uncomfortable with a man who seems to be mentally compromised winning the election and doing so by hiding,” Rogan said on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, according to Fox News
