If you focus on the problem, you can't see the solution.
But, of course, Patch connects with him.Īrthur: (holds up four fingers on Patch's hand) How many do you see?Īrthur: No, no, no. NC:(VO) He also befriends a brilliant mind that went crazy a few years ago. Adams is the hero because the big bad establishment doesn't want people laughing! ( stuffy British accented) BLBLBLBLBL! This is most unorthodox! BLBLBLBLBL!Īrthur (Harold Gould): ( raises four fingers) How many fingers do you see? NC:(VO) Our healer, everybody! When he's not done making fun of what's wrong with you, he goes down to the orphanage to mock the kids with no parents. Patch: Beanie! Who likes to masturbate? ( everyone raises their hands) Patch: ( as other patients laugh) Beanie, how much taller is Wilt Chamberlain than you? How do you say hello to Hitler? ( NC's mouth hangs open in shock) Who would win a staring contest? Beanie! Maybe we should treat him like a person instead of some useless punchline. Maybe Beanie knows a lot more than we give him credit for. Orderly: Do you find that funny, Hunter? Making fun of a man's infirmity? Patch is sitting next to a catatonic man with his hand raised The doctor and the patients are all in a room during a therapy session. Even for 1969, wouldn't they know not to put a person who's for the most part calm and of sound mind in a ward filled with screaming, unstable people? Well, maybe they're not unstable. I'd be afraid of a Fisher King reunion, too. Patch: ( pounding on door) We need help in here! Somebody! Now, is it me or would they put the suicidal person in a less threatening "Holy shit, I wanna shoot myself" location than this?Īn insane roommate named Rudy (played by Michael Jeter) starts screaming and whipping his pillow NC:(VO) We see Patch (played by Robin Williams) checking himself into a mental institution because he's suicidal. NC:(VO) So how is the raunchy Williams going to make his entrance in this film? Oh, wait, is this the actually funny Robin Williams or the shoving inspiration down your throat until you puke Robin Williams? NC: So let's see how much "based on a real story" can get away with. But the way they're trying to tell his story is such a cliched, emotionally forced dickfest, it makes me want to kick him in his comedic dangly red balls! From what I've looked up, he seems pretty legit. I personally don't know if the techniques of the real Hunter Adams work.
I'm against a bad Robin Williams movie horribly relaying that new form of medicine and new techniques. NC:(VO) I know what you're thinking: "Oh, Nostalgia Critic, you're against new forms of medicine and new techniques!" No, I'm not. Scenes from movie play, soundtrack and all
It's funny.īitch Spasms takes off the clown nose and throws it at NC.īitch Spasms hops out of the room cartoonishly, owing a lot to Daffy Duck. I wanna get better.īitch Spasms: Well, laughter's the best medicine!īitch Spasms: Hoho! What? You don't trust a doctor who looks like this?īitch Spasms: ( points to his clown nose) Look. Bitch Spasms, and I'm here to make you laugh! Hoho!
Bitch Spasms (played by Doug Walker) appears wearing clown makeup, dressed in a doctor's coat and speaking like Robin Williams.īitch Spasms: Hoho! Don't you know? The cure for anything, anywhere, is laughter! Hoho!īitch Spasms: I'm Dr. Either one wouldn't surprise me! So, the doctor says I should be fine, though, as long as I get plenty of rest and relaxat. It was either brought on by natural circumstances or the film I saw was so bad it made me physically sick. As you can probably tell by my voice, I'm just getting over an illness. NC: ( downbeat) Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic.
