Robin Hughes Harris (August 30, 1953–March 18, 1990) was an African-American comedian and actor, best known for his recurring comic sketch about "Bébé's Kids".
In the sketch, Harris' girlfriend Jamika would insist that he take her sister Bébé's four ill-behaved children with them on a date, as she was always forced to babysit. The children would regularly make a fool out of and/or annoy Harris. "We Bébé's kids," they would proclaim, "we don't die...we multiply."
The Hudlin Brothers had intended to make a film based upon the "Bébé's Kids" sketch, but Harris died of a heart attack while the film was in pre-production. Bébé's Kids instead became an animated feature—the first ever to feature an all-Black main cast—directed by Bruce W. Smith and featuring the voices of Faizon Love, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Marques Houston, Nell Carter, and Tone-Loc.
Harris also had co-starring roles in a number of notable feature films, including I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988), Do the Right Thing (1989), Harlem Nights (1989), House Party (1990), and Mo' Better Blues (1990).
