Which Williams would you most like to punch in the face? I'm undecided. They can both be quite full of themselves but it's the sensitive side that they like to show that really makes them vulnerable and makes you feel like you want to give them a good slap around the chops.

No competition. I'd easily choose Robbie every time. I just don't get why he comes out with such idiotic stuff. Ironically, I like most of his songs, and I have all of his albums, yet I can't stand the way he brags. I've always preffered Mark Owen from Take That. He just seems more down to earth. Can't understand how he finally encouraged any woman to marry him. The worst thing I've ever heard him say, was that if his daughter ever ended up taking drugs when she was older, he would help her "choose the right one's". Oh. Bloody lovely. Not. A caring father, is one that helps them come out of the state they got themselves into. I don't mind Robin so much. He is always up for a laugh, which can only be a good thing.

Yeah, I don't mind some of Robbie Williams' songs but I remember Gary Barlow saying how back in the Take That days that he had said something to Robbie about how great it was how their managers had made them so famous and Robbie just said, "No, it's all just because of me". Supposedly he ripped off that Angels song from the guy that really wrote it as well. I remember when they were doing The Big Breakfast show when they became famous and I guess that I thought that Robbie was the most likable one with that cheeky chappy thing that he had going on but the more famous he got, the more full of himself he got and I saw him once on TV making so much of an arse of himself on stage that even the TV presenters, who were fans, were cringing.

Robin Williams is an upbeat sort of guy but sometimes it's just too much and he goes into that Mork routine, which is getting a bit old now. I think that I could handle the guy in small doses but if I was stuck in a lift with him I really would end up punching him.

Both are douchebags & like 'em both! Again, there's another Williams you didn't mention - "Wendy". :P

I really like Robbie! I like most of his songs, but what I love most about him, is that he is a truly amazing performer. And sure he's cocky, but that's part of the imago. If you see him on stage, he works his @$$ off for his audience! And you can tell he's thoroughly enjoying it.
As for Robin, he looks like he's already been punched in the face. He's done some great work, but dang, is he ugly or wot!

Yeah Crystal and he's so hairy. I know that some women like a man to have hair on his chest but he could be Ron Geremy's body double and that guy only gets work because he's like a hero to ugly bastards that have to watch porn because no woman will go anywhere near them.

Thought that you were going to defend Robbie there because he's a scouser Franky.

Robin Williams is a movie star that got his break in the seventies when he played a zany character from another planet in an American sitcom called Mork and Mindy. The Jez character in the Mitchel and Web sitcom "Peep show" says about Robin Williams, "He does look like a gherkin I suppose".

Oh yeah, I know him now.
I still vote for Rob the knob.
Oh and he's not a scouser, he's from Stoke or somewhere round there

Robin was the teacher in the movie 'dead poet society', he was also in 'goodwill hunting', 'the world according to garp', 'mrs. doubtfire' and many others...

Sorry about that Franky. For some reason I've always thought that he sounded a bit like a scouser. Not a Liverpudlian maybe but from somewhere around there. I heard about a place called Birkinhead and I thought that they counted as Scousers, so I thought that he might have been from somewhere like that.

Top of my head I think he's from Stoke on Trent?

And UK don't like him? That's not the impression I got from my UK friends, laugh

And as far as I know he's world famous in Europe, not in the US, so most here won't know him.

I'll never forget his performance during Live 8 in Hyde Park, 2005. Was shortly after he made a come back, he said in an interview that he was god awfully nervous about it, performing for that many ppl. Then he got on stage, hadn't done anything much, hadn't even said a word and the crowd went wild.

Was this one:

I totally admire and respect him as an entertainer/performer.
I did a couple of his songs on stage myself, always makes me feel, I don't know the right word ... kind of proud I guess. If I was going to attempt to be a pro or semi-pro entertainer, he'd definitely be my role-model!
Esp. Let Me Entertain You, at the afore-mentioned gig, but the Knebworth version is even better.
Did that live version myself, pulled it off real well, also thanks to a bluddy good drummer and some good backing vocals (1 professional even, haha) :tongue:

I better shut up. I LOVE Robbie love
