neutral · AI labelView post →a lot of comedy, lazy comedy, comes from power dynamics. Me falling down the stairs? That's kinda funny. An old lady falling down the stairs? Not funny, punching down. What next, ripping apart Patch Adams? Like review that third Addams FAMILY movie they can't release or something. Stay in your lane.
neutral · AI labelView post →The part where 🍎 puts the clown’s red nose on 🌈 reminded me of the movie Patch Adams. Robin Williams, who starred in that movie, also voiced Genie in Aladdin. And 🍎’s Hell’s Greatest Dad seems to take inspiration from Genie’s song “Friend Like Me”, so I can’t help but think Viv might like it too.
neutral · AI labelView post →Do you all remember that 90s movie 'Patch Adams' with Robin Williams? That's based on a real dude, and he lived in my college town. He was on the same plane as me when I was coming back from Christmas one year 🤷 He looked just like this image plus some wonderful nonmatching clown pants.

He - wrote and directed when nature calls - cowrote the nutty professor - wrote including Patch Adams - wrote Nutty Professor II: The Klumps - wrote and directed Bruce Almighty - created thumbnation - executive produced Jimmy Neutron and his studio gave us two Jimmy Neutron movies
neutral · AI labelView post →On Robin Williams: While watching him work on the set of the film based on my life - Patch Adams - I saw that whenever there was a stressful moment, Robin would tap into his improvisation style to lighten the mood of cast and crew. -- Patch Adams
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun fact: The song is a Rod Stewart song written for the movie Patch Adams.
neutral · AI labelView post →DAY 27 movie with your favorite actor Patch Adams Robin Williams was and always will be my favorite actor. I can't begin to say how much I miss this man 😞 I grew up watching so many of his movies and I truly believe they shaped me as a person. Patch Adams was one of them ❤️

positive · AI labelView post →Patch Adams was a Splendid movie with Robin Williams as the lead. - Haiku by Stu #haikufeels #patch
positive · AI labelView post →Robin Williams. I grew up knowing his more kid-friendly side as the voice of Genie and Batty Koda, his role in Jumanji, etc. Then growing up saw him in films like What Dreams May Come, Patch Adams, Mrs. Doubtfire. When I heard the news he not only died, but by suicide because the man suffered from a severe mental illness it really cut me to the core. It was like losing a favorite silly uncle. I still haven't been able to bring myself to watch any of his movies as I fear it will make me…
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah? If it's such a bad song then why was it literally the theme song from Patch Adams, a movie about what if they gave a medical license to a clown?

neutral · AI labelView post →We are at dinner and my dad and my wife are discussing cider house rules, a movie I have never seen And as they discuss and discuss the movie and its merits, it becomes increasingly clear my wife is thinking of Patch Adams
neutral · AI labelView post →Absolutely has to be Patch Adams. The F---ing best biographical film ever made, and the only biographical film I actually 100% enjoyed!
positive · AI labelView post →It was written by Diane Warren and only sung by Rod Stewart for "Patch Adams," the film for which the song was originally written.
neutral · AI labelView post →I felt cheated by the Patch Adams movie after learning that the real guy looks more like an older queer kinkster (complementary)
negative · AI labelView post →Its like they watched Patch Adams and thought it was a great idea but let's replace him with a soulless avatar to save money
neutral · AI labelView post →i bought a little bag of replacement tablet pen nibs months ago and had need of it last night. I couldn't find it, but I found the bag that bag CAME in and a ticket stib for Patch Adams, a movie I never saw and that debuted two decades before I moved to this house
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s kind of wild how much Roger Ebert disliked the Patch Adams movie 💝
neutral · AI labelView post →Same for me. I think the first time I saw him was in was Patch Adams and he stood out. I him in Flawless. Such a good movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →In the late 80s, the real Patch Adams lived in Arlington Va and his son was in my boy scout troop. yeah, the movie did not do the man justice at all.
negative · AI labelView post →if i had been on that plane 9/11 would have gone down exactly the same as it did. i would have been busy watching Patch Adams (1998) on the in flight movie as the plane slammed into the tower
neutral · AI labelView post →Sounds like they want a tragedy movie; which is different than a tear-jerker imo. Tell them to watch Patch Adams.
neutral · AI labelView post →Not to mention that movie very sorely misrepresents the actual, legitimate unconventional medical work of the real-life Hunter Adams, all to exploit it for a shitty feel-good flick. Doug Walker may be a shit critic most of the time, but he's always been right about Patch Adams.
negative · AI labelView post →The theme tune to Star Trek: Enterprise was written for Rod Stewart to sing for the 1998 Robin Williams movie, Patch Adams!

neutral · AI labelView post →Personally, I think the "iceberg" line is a clunker to end on. But at least it's a reference to a movie that stood the test of time and not PATCH ADAMS or something. #FThisMovieFest
negative · AI labelView post →I have two tactics for the doctors who ignore me. 1) The penis as a pogostick line from the film Patch Adams, or similar. 2) "Can I record this?" You've never seen a head snap up so fast and them watch you so closely as when you ask that question. Especially when you've got your phone in hand.
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't think I have been more angry at a movie than when I saw Patch Adams
negative · AI labelView post →Now, yeah, there are movies that happen in hospitals- John Q, zombie movies, etc. But those don't count- like Patch Adams is the last hospital movie I can even kinda think of.
neutral · AI labelView post →Everyone going the biggest and best.... I suggest: Both versions of House on Haunted Hill (evolution of the campy horror genre) Both versions of Black Christmas (see horror tropes become them and the retelling) Jason X (Jason the undying killer but in space!) Teeth (if you needed a movie to really drive home that SA is bad) Trainspotting (if you needed a movie to really drive home that drug addiction is bad) The Room (a detailed instructional of how not to write a movie) Super…

neutral · AI labelView post →one of the least holy, coolest things you could do with CGI and movie editing is: shuffle Robin Williamses so any movie you watch with a Robin you are getting a random Robin. Centennial Man in Final Cut. Smoochy in Aladdin. Patch Adams in One Hour Photo. The killer from Insomnia in Mrs. Doubtfire.
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know, I think we should avoid any danger of Patch Adams, to the point doctors have to take those equilibrium pills from the film 'Equilibrium'
neutral · AI labelView post →The last movie Gene Siskel gave "worst of the year" to was Patch Adams which makes an insane amount of sense because while it and it's "laughter is literally the best medicine" message are shit on their own, imagine sitting through that with brain cancer. You'd want to stab that movie in the face
negative · AI labelView post →Patch Adams was far (VERY far) from my favorite #RobinWilliams #movie and yet this scene where Patch cheers up some Make A Wish kids just for me sums up what Robin was all about: making the world a lighter place for those who truly need it. #RIP you beautiful soul.
neutral · AI labelView post →I have to couch surf while my family believes that Douglas County, Co was correct in finding me "ITP" while studying to become Dr Patch Adams. We watched that movie together when it came out. Dad has been trolling me coloradosun.com/2025/10/16/u... But I was suppose to be in the CIA, got a lot of Ds
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember this first time I saw him in a film, which I think was Patch Adams, and I thought he really stood out. Such a fine actor.
positive · AI labelView post →Happy May 28! Here's some #ReasonsToCelebrate today... Hope you're a carnivore... today is both National Hamburger Day AND National Brisket Day! Happy birthday to Gladys Knight (1944 - "Midnight Train to Georgia") and Patch Adams (1945 - the doctor that inspired the movie of the same name)!

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s a true statement. This movie and Patch Adams were so unutterably horrible.
negative · AI labelView post →I always assumed “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey” were considered mythology as opposed to history. As a History major I feel that unless a film is being incredibly irresponsible like “Pocahontas” or “Patch Adams,” and they are viewed as entertainment first I‘m not going to be too nitpicky about it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Do I have to? Fischer King because 'acting' That movie in Alaska with Hooah because 'chilling' Mrs. Doubtfire because 'drive-by fruiting' Patch Adams because 'OB-GYN convention' What Dreams May Come because 'amaze-balls' Garp because 'are you fucking kidding me' I'm old. I can't recall -
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Patch Adams was based on a real guy named Pat Chadams
neutral · AI labelView post →That's okay, the entire ending of Enterprise was canonically fanfiction anyway. Personally, I like to think that hologram program was the in-universe Trek equivalent of those really bad bio pics which get every wrong, like that awful Patch Adams movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I wish Robin had done better by Patch Adams. As impressive as the movie character was, the real character is much more so. And that movie was supposed to fund the construction of Gesundheit Hospital - Patch only agreed to become famous in order to make that happen. Look him up on YouTube.

positive · AI labelView post →I remember my parents reverently explaining what an Important Movie it was and then never hearing about it again. A lot of the other movies here did leave some trails in popular culture, there's plenty of references to Patch Adams and I've seen some for Dead Poets Society, etc. Zero for Mr. Holland.
