Brilliant

@@CousinBowling exquisite analogy

Spot on! Couldn'tve phrased it better

Ah shit it's a simile isn't it

At 3:40, btw. I'm not sure Conan noticed it.

he was being a good boy here... he could send it off the rails like no other... not give AF about it either. Legend 🙏

More like a train gymnastics performance

I mean the way he was whenever he was on Conan… he looked like a master dog trainer strutting his prize pupil to the podium on a leash except the pupil was a dumb joke and the podium was the punch line and once he got there he just smiled proudly

During the 90's when I could only watch Conan in the middle of the night on Saturdays, seeing norm on there was like some legendary moment in punk music, you knew you were watching something rare and fantastic. I still remember the "b o r e d" and running from the ass grinding mtv people stories from that time 😂

Its Not even a joke

it's more of a comment, really

@@inigo.montoyaaMore of a facTOID

His time may be up but new people find out about him on a regular basis. My kids like him and turn him on to others.

He never wanted to be famous that's what makes him a legend

Where can this Adam Egret quote be found? I’ve been looking for more post-Norm, Adam commentary

@@thinkpotato Adam Corolla said it

@@scottmandu8316 ah! 👍

Jeff Ross said when he was with Norm at clubs if he killed he would go to the back room and play cards. When he bombed he would go to the exit and say goodbye to everyone in the club. Legend.

Conan set Norm up really well.

that hits different.

Agreed

I don't know who's gonna hurt more (not that it matters) Letterman or Conan? Such dear friends of his! I know I'll miss him horribly 💔

🥺

"you can go to Denny's wear a hat, anything you want"- compendium of wisdom in that one.

I could get behind that

A Laaaarge Hat?

I fully support that initiative. I’ll send Denny’s your suggestion.

A brown one with a red band?

I'm 100% game

Best part is that Norm probably knew that Kitchener was named Berlin during the great depression.

@@douglasedwards6830 No it was re-named from Berlin to Kitchener during WW1

Well, I'm sold

Well he isn’t wrong. He hasn’t wore one hat since he died.

That was awesome (and true when you think about it....you can't wear a hat to Denny's if you're not alive!).

Omg, "better using that animal than one that climbs a tree and eats bananas"?! Is it just me or does anyone else find this extremely disgusting of Adam Carola to say?

God I wish that's all there was

The more they didn’t get him the better the bit would be. He was a genius.

The thing about Norm is you have to know about his uncle Hector to really understand him.

@@wiremanart or so the Swedish-German, Frank Stalone, would have you believe.

Especially Adam Corolla and Dennis Miller. They don't fully get his humor, just the surface level shit

u can “get” him and not find it funny too

He finished high school two years early and went straight to university for mathematics and philosophy before comedy, but would always tell people he dropped out in high school. Best to ever do it imo.

not hard as a Canadian in the USA, the land of negative IQs

I doubt he was smarter than 99% of the population.

That's one of the lessons of living with chronic health conditions and disabilities I was born with developmental disabilities and acquired chronic pain in my 20s. My mom is in her early 20s and is a full-time wheelchair user. I am amazed at 31 years old now that I'm alive and as healthy as I am. And now a lot of my favorite comedians and other artists / performers are disabled in one way or another too.

Good Riddance Norm MacDonald! Norm was a MAGA before Drumpf, he was anti-progressive, anti-LGBT, anti-Feminist, everything, a rank-neocon hack, and the only thing that he and his co-writer got fired over were O.J. comments. That whole era of trickle-down lies poisoned SNL to this day, and MacDonald was one of the worst bomb thrower's for it, just like Denis Miller, and look at the political beliefs of all those cast member from that time today and 90% or more are even more fascist now!

Well said.

He was really funnyyy😊

Who underrated him?

SNL? Certain trolls on UKposts.

@@jbean9021 people who are invested in the comedy world view Norm as the legend and the golden standard of being a comic, while the majority of people hardly know who he is (maybe US citizens that grew up in his SNL era know him well too). Majority of people know names that are mainstream like Chapelle etc. while Norm appearances and shows are kinda niche, especially for younger audiences. The fact he is not alive anymore is not helping. But I think it’s more or less on purpose, he was never trying to be the center of attention. Better went as underrated than overrated for sure. Peace

He did it right

I loved that he was alive too. Worked out for all of us.

A good way for us all to start the day if we can. Keep a light on for Norm too

Walk into Denny's , wearing hats and everything

Rriiiiiiiight

was he good at math or something?

​@@DJDownes100 yeah. I heard he graduated high school 2 years early and went to a good college for math and philosophy. But he would tell people he was a high school drop out because he knew the average person doesn't really like smart people

Agreed. Him and Conan handle Norm so well. Meanwhile, Jay talks down to him and doesn't even grasp how funny Norm is being. Bugs me every time

If craig Ferguson never did it letterman would have been the best

After he passed several comedians were talking about something like this. He would often purposely mispronounce words for comedy. I think he did it in this clip when he said "mafia"

@@duanedes1gn That Andy Williams/Warhol joke was on this vein.

this is a recurring joke from norm. Naming a celebrity but actually saying the name of another celebrity with the same first name and same last initial. Kills me every time. ​@@emidom2004

​@@duanedes1gngastro...namy

I saw him say once that no one likes a guy smarter than them. He was genius at using this principle in his comedy.

Only one Norm? This God guy sounds like a real jerk

He can't laugh. He died.

Niorm

Looks like many many of us are gonna be laughing with him through the laughs he has left behind for us...he is a Timeless gem 💎

I knew I'd start seeing comments like this today under all my old favorite Norm clips....never another like him.

Hopefully it isn't the opposite 40:30

🍃🕊🍃amen

Yes but what about the hypocrisy!

Ahhh jeez. Now I have to watch the whole thing

And yet the chicken comes back in as the second punchline at the very end. He had a way of giving two or three punchlines to a joke. He may not even have planned them all the time, but throwing in a random thing in the middle of the story gives him something to work with in the end.

@@Ardepark when did the chicken come back

@@bait5257 After it crossed the road

Naa. Theyre trying to get him censored as we speak

Wait a fucking minute. Is Norm dead??

@@OD_G00N yes. And also I’ve seen this exact comment before on some other comedians video like ten years ago. Or I saw the future and it was this exact thing

Im hoping the next generations will love him even more than we did, writers never die and all that bullshit

@@queenpurple8433 I don't know about you seeing the future but I posted my comment last night while watching Norm videos after hearing about his silent, decade long fight with cancer.

Norm mocks people and it's hilarious. You don't understand comedy

nice sentence

Kamanha Yami lmao

Its good to listen to too though

It’s that... and so much more. It would take ages to describe the allure of his candour.

he sincerely loves what he does, it's refreshing

He cited Leo Tolstoy as an influence. Only a genius would have that level of insight into the human condition. Norm was a psychologist and philosopher playing a comedian.

Yep dude probably had a very high iQ

He almost won a million on the millionaire. He knew the million dollar question but took the money. He's very bright. Many comedians are.

When he convinced Barbara Walters that he'd only read a single book his entire life and she insultingly asks, "What woman would want a man that's only read one book?" Norm replies, "Well, I have a lot of MONEY." Simply awesome.

In reality he was an incredibly smart, deeply closeted gay dude

Yeah he knew, and he added the faux befuddled scramble for another Andy to set up the joke 👏😂

What a punchline! What a true wit, RIP, Norm

Always thought sex was like roller coasters. The first ride is great but after a while you gotta find a better coaster. Then you just kinda outgrow them altogether.

Surprised he never Interchanged Q-Bert for Frogged.

All hardware stores in heaven give away polish sausages for free

Heaven's angels have no sense of humor, and to make it worse, they only drink heaven's milk.

In my version of heaven no one has pants. RIP Norm.

I'd think he be decomposing in his grave, having a chicken with the gay guy.

angels don't have to bathroom.

Literature like what?? I’m curious

Yeah so am I

He was really into Russian lit mostly I believe

@@danielparker813 In Texas he did a bit about reading Dracula.

See Gargantua and Pantagruél for the same joke.

Tell the folks at home what an audience is.

You can have cousins on either side of your family, and saying “my uncle is from my cousin’s side” is obvious and provides no additional info.

Alextrovert I see you’re from the other half of the audience

@Drillo It's funny because you can't discern what side of the family he's talking about or what side could be polish. Its just a stupid answer that sounds legit at first until you think about it. Its like a Bugs bunny joke that takes the bad guy a few seconds to figure out while Bugs gets away.
