Wait, that's not a set?

Oh, you mean the Sullenburger segment?

Shit, I never knew he was in Chicopee. That’s just an hour away. I feel like I missed everything

coo....

Yay 🎉 I'm ur 💯 th like! 😊

Him messing up the bit is funnier than most comedians actually pulling off their routines. He's the best.

"...him and his wife....Laurie Sungleberger...what was her name? "

Conan's reaction to that is just priceless. He has this "Oh my God, I'm done" look on his face.

Brian Douglas one of the few people Conan genuinely loses it and that's how you know Norm is genius!

Agreed. Letterman and Conan both laugh hysterically when Norm is a guest--like they do with no other comedian. He's very much a comedian's comedian. And, like you say, a genius.

He promoted his shows at the end

apparently he used to be a stand in just hanging around the studio incase a guest couldnt make it, which is why hes on so much but also not always pushing something he is doing which works and makes it even better. What a stand in eh :)

@@slazerlombardi Thank you.

Just a master of what do you call it?? Um ,,

That was so subtle and brilliant at the same time

So glad I'm not the only one who heard and loved that :)

Be honest with you, I don't get it.

Watch more Norm.That specific line highlights Norm's ability to be funny as fuck while giving zero effort. That's why that line is hysterical Norm.

The man doesn't buy his own wife a plane ticket and makes her stand for the whole flight, because they are saving up for "the thing." Even though he's the pilot and could've easily pulled some strings so she could sit. It's perfectly flippant and so Norm :)

He's Canadian.

Neal Myers-Perry I didn't say he was American. I said "in American history." Norm has made his name, his fortune, his fan-base, his family and his legacy in America. His stand-up was in Canada, but New York and Hollywood are his adopted homes, and he's not a political blowhard. So we're happy to have him ;-)

He's a fearless comedian, I always treasure people who just don't care if a joke lands or not. Subversive humor at its best :-)

Who cares where he´s from. He´s just the best english-speaking comedian.

I totally agree. It's amazing. The way he wanders around a joke, to fit his audience, and the way he caters to whomever he's speaking. He might be genius.

I agree 100%! But, I personally feel that the punchline is watching the ill-prepared unsuspecting rubes absolutely lose their mind after Norm has told them a 10 minute "joke" that has gone absolutely nowhere. It seriously takes a lot of talent to get someone that angry with you and not have them haul off and punch you. He was awesome! What a guy!

Norm was never not telling jokes

There’s a difference between telling jokes, and speaking in joke, where you’re fully immersed in that state of mind fearless and calm. Big difference. Robin Williams and Bill Hicks and Chappelle are like that too.

Yeah, his mind is like a rusty steel trap, that still works when you are clowning around with it.

​@@joeyvanostrand3655the punchline is.. Even his wife could've landed. He's not trolling everyone he was trolling sully. The plane landing is the punchline. The us airline... Air Lyin. Is another punchline.

And yet every time it ends perfectly well

Haha same

I was born in 1990 and I always got him cuz I'm the bomb. When I was 12 my friends and I would do impressions of him from Billy Madison. His lazy slur.

+Gavin James Canadians are the kings of deadpan. I can see it not getting popular until the 90's lol. Who else can spend 5 minutes telling a joke, in-depth, about a moth.. where the punchline is simply "the light was on" and get a laugh?

+Steve Frank Nicely put

+Steve Frank lol me too. i hated him on snl but he's so funny.

Absolutely. He'll always be my favorite.

Moron. He had a longer and more successful career than most comedians, is heralded by most of his peers as a comedy genius and legend, and all media right now are filled with tributes to him. "Blah blah blah is underrated" is one of the laziest comments on social media and is almost always made by people who are 100% wrong.

@@tinetannies4637 you know that comment was made atleast 6 years ago right?things were different,RIP a genius.

He was never underrated by the people who mattered.

There was nothing normal about Norn❤ rip

A Canadian, with those attributes? There is a first time, for everything.

I'd say he was funny and had an interesting style and delivery that's unique. I wouldn't call him brilliant. He hits but also misses a lot. Certainly off beat, quirky and very funny and witty at times.

Loved it when Norm talked about him & many other comedians doing a comedy benefit for the Ronald McDonald House Charities,the benefit was making money hand over fist then Norm said it dawned on him"hey!wait a second, just how big of a house does this fuckin' clown need?!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Norm was completely an act the hell are you talking about. At 4:09 he stops himself from saying 'bindle' so he doesn't look smarter than Conan because it would kill the illusion. He's basically the low-key 90s version of Andy Kaufman.

Is that a Leo Frank joke?

Could be both and probably less famous cases.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

@@rickmontana416 Leo Frank was NOT black, so clearly that wasn't what he was referring to. I would guess he meant Wayne Williams, who some people erroneously believe is innocent, given that case is referred to as The Atlanta Child Murders...

@@oz6909 No, could NOT be, as that does not concern a black guy being framed for a child's murder.

In other words......"The Cure, for Cancer, is Death." Thanks, Norm (RIP). I had no idea.

Spot On Norm .,. #FukCancer

It's obvious the government took him out because he let this cure for cancer out of the bag. 🤣😂🤣😂

Dealing with effing cancer. Long live Norm.

if i have to read this one more time im gonna vomit ...... legit under every , EVERY norm video by now . i miss the dude and know the "bit" but jeeez

Same here.

No shit. Me too. I've been on a Norm rampage the last month.

I rediscovered Norm. WTF he just seems so ...whats the word?.... Funny? : ) Love his podcast

Weird. Is it just me or did his stock slightly go up recently? I know I've been looking him up a lot but he did just recently go on Letterman and there are a lot of newly posted videos. Maybe his podcast has helped a bit.

All that i think. I do believe he could be the Tony Bennett of comedy so to speak Just that he could appeal to a younger audience

Kitchner Leslie was the railroad cop that beat up hobos!

Totally agree. He feigns ignorance so you let your guard down which is what makes his jokes so special. He's so gifted at timing and delivery.

Thanks I guess.

@@bulliwoody3674 thank you 😂 saved me the trouble

A friggin men

There's a video called "Conan & Norm Macdonald Cook With Gordon Ramsey" which shows what happened next after this clip, you should def check it out if you already haven't!

Hey, I dont. Do you think ol Conan will put ME on?

Norm can make you laugh and cringe all at the same time.

I like his pig jokes, they are sick LOL

Jay Schmidt, if you honestly find him to be a pure legend, you should really pay him the respect of crediting him rather than just stealing his sentiment and attempting to claim it as your own.

You are not alone my friend. He is my favorite comedian, without a doubt.

Poor you

@@ReedtechIndustries does someone need their shit-filled diaper changed?

I relate it more to impeccable timing he was great either way

Took me awhile to appreciate Norm. I actually didn't care for him on SNL. Now? Far and away the best comedian in my opinion. And I normally hate to rank anybody or anything. Miss him dearly.

Nah, conan doesnt

well said!

Lol it's like hes not even trying

I wrote this bit 25 minutes ago

I grew up across the street from the Sungleburgers. Great family. Very courageous.

I knew it was coming and i still threw my back out laughing

@@keithwald5349 in Danville, Ca. ? I think I heard he lives there. I live in Concord, Ca. Knowing the family, that's so cool. Must feel a little surreal in a way.

Norm was talking about Jay getting his own talk show which would air before Conan's Tonight show after Jay would (be forced to) leave the Tonight show. Norm was just joking around Jay outfoxing Conan because everyone was hoping it would be a win-win situation. (Please dont start a Conan/Leno flame war, I love both of them and the whole disaster was NBC's fault)

There's still time.

US suicide rates are higher now than anytime since the First Great Depression. That these rates are so high is an indicator that we're currently in the beginning or middle of the Second Great One. "Jumping off buildings" is clearly a euphemism for suicide.

Mr Nobody no it was Leno’s fault. You’re not much of a fan if you don’t remember.

@@tarico4436 Things change. History doesn't repeat, it rhymes. The economy is booming right now (don't get me wrong, we're looking at a bubble), and the reason why people are killing themselves is different than in the Great Depression. The problem today is complex but it's mostly a symptom of inequality not seen since the Gilded Age. I dread what will happen when the economy inevitably does turn south, but the truth is by the time we recover from that we will be staring the effects of climate change right in the face.

😂

I love how his buildup to jokes are usually funnier then his punchline for them. Gives him a lot of freedom with his jokes since he isn't worried about making sure the Punchline is the big laugh instead he just focuses on making sure the entire joke is funny from start to finish like the moth joke he tells its so long that he has to make sure to remind the audience what's happening again towards the end just so they understand the punchline.

I never noticed this before

Wise Wolf Tony Norm’s genius is that the buildup is funnier than the punchline, and then he often explains the joke again after, which is even funnier than the buildup! I don’t think there is another comedian who has the timeline and delivery to get away with what he does so well.

Norm is brilliant he can tell a 10 minute joke with little punchlines all along the way before he destroys with an ending. Norm also has this likable appeal. I feel like he's inviting us to operate at his level.

John Thomas Boy, that may be true. I’m no comedian, but sometimes when telling a story and someone interrupts with something stupid, I bring them or their stupid comment into the story, often completely derailing it, with the intent of not-friendly commentary of their comment, interrupting, or their inability to shut up and listen. But I’m not a particularly nice person. Maybe Norm is...

My favorite thing is that he talks like he's a total burnout and maybe not very smart, and he always has that grin on his face, so people underestimate him, and it's a terrible mistake

Sad but true the thing about humanity's yearn for tragedy. BUT THE MAN IS GREAT! Just discovered him - fell in love immediately 😁

"It pretty much lands itself." Genius.

Didn’t recognize their version. Had to listen a few times until I heard the melody

How can he rest in peace, with all that dirt chucked on him forever? You know he hated that!
