I think Robin William knew that Mandel had OCD, he actually grabs his wrist. Fist bumps were not a thing back then and Mandel wanted a career. Howie did not seek help until late into his adulthood and his ADHD was more than apparent too.

Truly a dark time for comedy.

The REAL comedians exited the stage before his act. Howie is extremely fortunate to have saved his stand-up career with acting roles, game show hosting and AGT judging. His stand-up suffered because he had a difficult time writing new material and thus used the same jokes for years

This was funny...in the 80's. I remember laughing my behind off at this but now, not so much.

this is just awkward.....and dont say its because its the 80's.coz there were lots of funny stand up comedians in the 80's

Howie said he stopped doing the balloon trick because he blew out his Sinus cavity. I guess the coke didn't help much either.

What I find comforting as a recently diagnosed adult with ADHD is knowing what neurodivergency looks like and loving my tribe because I thought I was alone in this, and I'm not. I'm thankful that there's proof of us existing. I'm thankful that we exist.

What would actually be hilarious is if howie still did this act today

From Howie Mandel's Twitter account: U made me smile RT @shutterpug: @howiemmandel I work in a busy ER and today did your glove trick to ease fears in a child. Made him smile.

Wow just wow is like if howie got captured by aliens and they erased his mind. Or he got lobotomized.

This is how you make people laugh Arthur Fleck!

Compare this to the Howie Mandel on America's Got Talent. All of a sudden he's a germaphobe and won't shake hands with anyone. The most decent thing he has done since this has been to give the stuttering comedian a golden buzzer. And to see that it looked like he was doing it more for himself then the poor kid that he was sending on.

Not funny here but give him a few years and you have the greatest comedic talent EVER.

if a stand up did this now he would never get out of open mic night.

Howie was so awesome! Absolutely some of the best memories of the 80’s.

Was that Richard Donner in the crowed? He directed Superman: the movie, Lethal Weapon all 4 films, The Goonies.

All the haters...this guy is worth about 100 million bucks now. No regrets for him. What the fuck do you do? Work at some shitty job and watch youtube at home?

The demand by so many people here that a comedian can only fit your definition - meaning telling a bunch of scripted jokes - rather than being manic and crazy with physical humor is really arrogant. You don't have to like his comedy or his style and you can complain about what he did nearly 40 years ago or you can embrace how he was unique, and different, and manic and it worked for him. But then he evolved. What I find most compelling, and confusing, is the complete lack of hesitation about physical contact and specifically shaking hands. Clearly his OCD and germophobia has changed over time as well and apparently not in good ways.

I want that bag.

Great bobcat impersonation. And howie calls people out?

Interesting that he thought he had to steal Bobcat Goldthwait's persona to make it back then. Both eventually learned that it wasn't funny.

came on here bc i thought it was only recently that howie was sending out subtle messages for help... signals of sos... reality, apparently, is that he's been SCREAMING for help for years, yeesh
