Genie is Unfunny


I can't be the only person who finds Robin Williams' Genie completely unfunny.. Everyone always raves about that character, but nothing he does or says is funny.

Well, 17 days later and no one has joined in, so it would seem at least that you are the only person or at least a tiny minority who didn't find Genie at least partially funny.

You're probably one of those types with a mental problem where you cry at funny stuff and laugh at horrifying stuff.

Nope. It was just a completely unfunny character. Unfunny writing, and an unfunny performance. And he constantly just sounds like Robin Williams.

ROBIN WILLIAMS CONSTANTLY SOUNDED LIKE ROBIN WILLIAMS?...THAT IS FUCKING WEIRD.😐

He's not supposed to be Robin Williams. He's supposed to be a genie. They should have hired someone who can actually do impressions.

AN IMPRESSION OF A GENIE?...THE CRITERIA BEING?...DON'T SOUND LIKE ROBIN WILLIAMS?πŸ€”

reply

Well he should have sounded like anybody else than Robin Williams. When I hear the genie talk, I'm automatically picturing Robin Williams speaking. Takes me out of the movie.

I guess "One is the loneliest number" applies here. You're the only person on the planet who doesn't think he's funny. Enjoy being alone.

I think you might be the only person who finds him unfunny.

In my opinion, this was one of the funniest and most brilliant animated performances in history.

When the Genie came on the screen, the whole movie got a huge jolt and really came to life.

yeah i agree the genie is unfunny alot of the time. robin williams is simultaneously the best and worst thing about the movie. some of his lines are really good but a lot of the time he just wont shut up and the improv goes on way too long.

reply

Normally I'm not a fan of Williams, but he's very entertaining in this movie. Maybe a few jokes that fall flat.
