Robin Williams met Koko in 2001. It was a very cheerful encounter for both, and Koko has treasured it to this day. When Koko learned of Robin's passing (on Aug. 11, 2014) she became very sad. We hope this video will lift her spirits and remind everyone of the profound gift of joy that Robin Williams brought to our world.

    The fact that Koko tickled Robin cause tickling makes her laugh, she wanted to make him laugh too. A gorilla wanted to make human genuinely happy out of her own will, that just blows my mind. They're so damn smart, they don't belong in zoos

    Hope they're having a good laugh together now wherever they are

    Koko must’ve sensed Robin’s true feelings and wanted to make him laugh. Both were sweet and genuine beings

    I truly believe this was one of Robin's most favorite life memories he got to experience. What a connection and interaction between these two.

    Not sure if I'm here for Koko or Robin Williams
  • @tamphex
    I like to think that Robin and Koko are still tickling each other

    The world could use a little Robin Williams humor right now. It’s a duller place without him.
  • Maybe Robin and Koko are up there in heaven tickling each other right now.A friendship that lasts forever.
  • Whatever pain Robin was feeling that day, Koko made it go away. Rip to them both 💘

    “Heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.” -Alan Moore. RIP Rob
  • Koko taking his glasses and walking into the room with them still on is so adorable 😭

    "We shared something extraordinary" Yes, those hairy ass arms Jokes aside, we miss you robin, we really really do.

    This really makes me choke up, almost in tears watching this again. R.I.P Robin & Koko you both certainly made the world a better place.
  • @jenniferlee1410
    With all the struggles Robin had, it's wonderful to see this glee on his face, like it's from deep in his soul. We miss you ❤

    I was smiling and enjoying the video when it occurred to me that they were both gone now.... and then in a second I completely broke down again because I was originally watching to feel better.... because my son died a month ago. Damn... death is so fuc*ing hard. RIP Koko and Robin and my Chaz.

    She really finessed his glasses and was like " need to cop me a pair of these "
  • This is really special because this is one of the few times Robin seemed comfortable just being him. No goofy noises or imitations. This is how you know he is at a very special place in his heart. I only wish he could have stayed there more. The world will never get over him. ❤️

    I love that he didn't treat her like an animal. He was attentive and respected her as a being. Love him even more! ❤
