Clever 👍

🤌

Brilliant, Norm would've loved this one.

he out now running around a free man on his stilts.

Almost the best joke I have ever heard or read!

Ay nigra

I honestly think Norm said it on purpose. Always two steps ahead.

@@sfonylx at 3:03 he set it up. Brilliant

@@sfonylx he did it ALL on porpoise

@@TA-tg1cf 😄

Damn... that was deap

He skipped from lanky nasal-talking 20-something, to baritone backwoods geezer before he was 40. We was robbed of Old Man Norm.

I’d say we did. He knew he was dying. Norm embraced his full transition into Grandpa Norm in those last years. He seemed so at peace and care-free.

I don't knew i was goin to cry again.

To be fair he's always acted like an old man

"Scram"

Scram! Take all the time u need...

I GUESS IT ALSO DID THE WIFE A NUMBER

Just like oscar

All it’s missing is an “on accounta”

Hahahahaha. "And re-usable" is great and reusable too

That's what I thought, "I'm gonna have to stick that one in my back pocket".

It serves a youthful porpoise.

@@knowsmebyname😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Is that even a real person?

I've only ever seen the second half, but damn, that transition was masterful!

@@knowsmebyname Youthful porpoise.

Andy has never been a dunce, nor an empty vessel. He's always caught the astute folly of Norm and Conan. He was well-suited as a sidekick, much more substantive than Ed McMahon. I've always felt a little sad for Andy, that he may have regretted that he hasn't done enough with his life...I could see him in a dramatic role and be surprisingly convincing...

@@fenwayifyhis show was really funny too, shame it didn’t last

@@fenwayifyshut UP

I don't get it. What does that have to do with the last name changing?

Growth is one of the manners in which things change.

@@mayedalshamsi The joke is basically that it's an absurd comment. Norm accidentally changed the last name of the guy in the joke. Instead of acknowledging that or explaining it, he said "a man grows" which is kind of a literary, fortune-cookie-esque way of saying that people change over time. But generally that sort of thing refers to someone growing emotionally or growing in wisdom. Not someone changing their last name. It's the sort of joke that isn't particularly funny when you explain it, but it's fantastic as an off the cuff response to Conan pointing out that he made a mistake.

@@clayton229 - Thank you for that explanation! I'm sure it's less funny now that I've had to have it explained to me, but I'd take that over not understanding the joke at all, any day. 😜

I’ve used this line and it kills

For some reason it flies under the radar. Love that line.

It’s the word order that is so funny. Like he went on Amazon.

Worst thing about Oscar Pistorious is the hypocrisy.

the more i learn about this oscar pistorious guy, the more i don't care for him

The spring thing is obvious isn't it?

also, weren't his blades longer than his legs? longer legs are definitely an advantage.

Some say the hypocrisy was the worst part

Yes! I've never seen Norm laugh that hard! He loved that analogy from Andy and even shook his hand soon after. That's big praise coming from Norm! 😅

@@pats5375 Yes. Norm is usually only left to laugh at his own jokes, and give the audience a side eye as an indication that they should laugh too. I thoroughly enjoyed Norm getting a belly laugh for once.

Hes just trying to recover from the beat down hes getting from conan and andy if youre astute like that. Thinking about it any other way is off.

I absolutely loved that part and the fact Norm felt he had to shake Andy's hand. Talk about giving approval. Awesome.

@@Optim40 Norm didn't "try to recover from a beat down." Throughout his career he actively pursued subverting expectations, told bad jokes on purpose, and wasn't afraid to walk an entire room. Going into this Conan appearance, Norm absolutely knew his shaggy dog story had a terrible punchline -- puns are the worst -- and when Andy fearlessly jumped on it with a hilarious rejoinder, Norm was genuinely delighted. The handshake was respect, not recovery.

And we have a whale of a time. Sorry, just seven words. Norm would have spun it out to several minutes of comedic majesty.

@@TimonofIlford10/10 for effort anyway haha. Man he was the best.

@@TimonofIlford Don't sell yourself short, my friend! That was eight words.

I dunno. Conan even joking around that it’s weird to not like that guy enrages me. He wore springs and bullied people to let him compete with people who were not allowed to wear springs. Yes, that is the kind of person who is so full of themselves that they’ll shoot their girlfriend. I called it years before. Never liked that guy. If he allowed the other participants to wear springs then maybe. No. Seriously. The Paralympic runners who ran with the modern prosthetics of the time were known to be much faster than people with legs. Which means if Jocko could do it, then everyone with no legs should have been allowed. But only he was allowed and he could obviously run way faster because he had springs for legs. Anyone who liked that guy was a complete moron.

@@thetruthexperiment yeah man, Pistorius is so lame 😁

Hello fellow québécois

Just don’t pin your hopes on him

@@MehYam2112 nice.

hey I'm from Gatineau too!

I hope he's out there serving a youthful Porpoise.

Andy clearly has never been on a hike

Underrated comment.

I'm pretty sure Oscar hasn't been on a 4 mile hike either, not with those rob9t legs. He'd probably fall down face-first into the dog turd, which is what he deserves for all those races he cheated in.

Well, it was tragic, at the time

The man was a true comedic genius he reached deep into peoples minds and not everyone got it but to those that did he was the best truly.

Or de Gauthier.

@@kyon813 Hey. A man grows.

The most "youthful porpoise" the German swede ever served.

I love post-punchline riffs like that. I think what I like most about it is it's very risky if the punchline doesn't get a laugh. Because then the riff is just a half-sentence that you have to keep going.

@@jakelover1731Agreed. It gets funnier the more I watch it, the way he plays innocent and darts his head back and forth at Conan and Andy.

The faces he makes when Conan calls him out on changing the name.

Whether Herald knows it or not. He's found a youthful porpoise.

It was more of a comment, really.

@@dejuren1367 That's not hate for Andy, it's referencing a line from Norm MacDonald Live.

And he did it more than once - IMO his moth joke is the best joke I've ever heard. It's poetry, "I no longer love my son, I no longer love him because when I see his face all I see is the same cowardice I see whenever I look into a mirror" - just outstanding

I love how much he enjoyed that 😂

I run a city hiking group in Forest Park Queens. I ran an internet ad saying "Take a hike to Freedom". After 90 minutes we arrived at Freedom Road and I showed 30 hikers the street sign.

Did you do it?

100%

If he’d only changed his gender…

the more you will learn about norm the more you will not care for him

he's the greatest

"the funniest man formerly alive" is the best compilation

Although he did Letterman's last show, a very competitive last show was the last night Conan had on NBC. Norm showed up with a gift basket, the bit was genius. Little harder to find though.

@@iskandar.bakshi why not? Dudes a legend

He had a GREAT girlfriend from his hometown, she was with him for years in all his early inspirational videos, only to foolishly ditch her for a gold digger that he came to hate enough to kill.

I think the worst thing about the Pistorias story was the hypocrisy

Just odd pairing?

Just like Reeva Steenkamp.

That's a real place? I thought Norm just made it up for the joke.

@@ElriuhiluYep, real place, pulp and paper mill town along the Ontario-Quebec border on the Ottawa River. Around 2,500 people, quite isolated geographically. Their Wikipedia page actually reference this segment. Also when he calls the man Jacques-de-Gatineau, Gatineau is a big city in Quebec, part of the National Capital region directly across the river from Ottawa. And when he mentions the "Three Wise Men of Quebec," he is referencing three actual politicians from Quebec, who, during the 1960s, were dubbed as such by English media in Canada, seen as men who would change the course Canadian poiltics. Correspondingly, one of those men, Pierre Trudeau (Justin Trudeau's father) became one of the longest tenured Canadian Prime Ministers ever, championing multiculturalism and bilingualism, and having a major impact on the country's history, leaving a significant but somewhat divisive legacy.

There’s many comedians that could make me us laugh at suicide and murder jokes. But only one that could make us smile

Aww God bless! Do people not know about the internet archive? No need to pay a scoundrel: archive.org/details/Norm_Macdonald_Live

@@HeraldJohnson To my knowledge he has 3 specials, do you have them?

Just realized two are there, just Hitler's Dog, Gossip & Trickery that´s not

His specials are HBO One-Night-Stand (it is on youtube: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/fYp4dpiupYOd0oU.html ), Me Doing Stand-up (Comedy Central, blocked on YT), and Hitler's dog (Netflix), plus Nothing Special (Netflix) which is more like a Cameo than stand up.
