Norm McDonald - concentrated funny
 

Vintage Conan appearance. I would love just once to make someone as funny as Conan crack up like he does in the end.

Excellent work by Norm, right there. Right there.

Thanks for posting, Mr. Fishpicker.

9 1/2 Seconds! LMAO

my pleasure FAX. I have a bunch of norm clips in my youtube favorites; ready to go at the first mention of Norm.

That chick is smokin' HOT!

Man, I miss this guy. They need to do a best of SNL with just him.

Go ahead, say something funny about that.

I bet they spelled it B O R E D of education.

ROFL

I've seen that before. It was worth seeing again. LMAO

Can you imagine sitting around drinking beer and BSing with those two guys?

I can't stop laughing at;

He has the eyes of an eagle, the wisdom of an owl and the grace of a swan, this man is for the birds!!!

So effing cheesy.

Reminds me of a guy I've heard on Raw Dog who uses the Georgie Jessel voice and delivers the crudest, broadest, most off-the-wall punchlines, but the self-loathing in his voice sells it.

My favorite part of that clip is where McDonald purposely overexplains the joke.

"What, is it called Nine and a Half Seconds?"

(pause)

"Because he prematurely ejaculated."

Not many people could have hijacked someone's interview like that without coming off as a total tool. Viva Norm McDonald.

Speaking of memorable Conan O'Brien appearances, here's Artie Lange's infamous train wreck of an interview.

That Saget roast was great.

They said he performed that way because of how cheezy Bob was on Full House.

I saw Norm's standup in high school and he was ****ing great.

I think whoever said that was kinda missing the point. Norm was roasting the roast, he wasn't roasting Saget.

Norm goes back to host SNL and let's em have it. I saw this the first time it aired and it hasn't ever been shown again. audio only, if the video was included it would be removed from YT.

Has anyone watched his Netflix comedy special yet? He supposedly said he would do it differently in retrospect, but it still had me cracking up. Had plenty quintessential Norm jokes.

Have it queued, but the house/yard is taking up free time, along with the awesome series going on right now [Better Call Saul, Leftovers, Fargo, etc.]. Looking forward to it, though.

LMAO ever time:

One of my all-time favorites.

What! what, are they, . . golfing?!?!


A DUNE BUGGY?!?!

the new special is good but I was surprised by how much of it I had already heard

Uhggg... Norm is pretty hit-and-miss with me. That missed. I understand what he was going for. But that just wasn't funny for me...

LMAO

Harrison Schmitt?! Who the **** ever heard of that guy?

I know that's a Norm oldie, but it still got me.

Norm is one of the last few that truly doesn't give a ****.

I remember that episode, thinking Norm was particularly docile and disjointed. I remember also thinking who is that gorgeous girl in the red wig.

His Scottish/Irish accent in Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo was kind of funny.

I love Dirty Work

You Dirty Gorilla.

Yea for sure. I love dry humor. I use it here all the time. They don't get it in DC.

I think you have to be prepared for what he's doing to make it funny for you.

He's subverting the menace of his reputation, and committing to a straight recitation of crap material. It's not funny in a punchline way, it's funny in a WTF/disorienting way. And the humor creeps up on you. At first you fake laugh to be polite. Then you chuckle because you think you see where he's going. Then he delivers a lame joke [like the 'for the birds' line] in a way that tells you he knows how to deliver and is purposefully sabotaging that ability. And then the longer it goes, you laugh out of 'he's sticking with it' bemusement.

He's taking the long view. He has, and has had, his whole life to establish that he can kill a room. But in this friendly environment where people respect and admire that ability, he mortgages it on something odder and more memorable.

Reminds me of a bit I've heard described, but naturally never saw in person. A couple of titans when they were first starting out [I want to say Albert Brooks and someone like Ed Begley Jr. or Michael McKean, of that age and stature]. They would go up to an open mic in LA and with no esposition or explanation, they'd put on the appearance of a folk duo, or a comedic song duo, each with guitars. And for the next 12-15 minutes, they would just try to tune their guitars. They wouldn't address the crowd, or apologize, or explain. Just deet, deet, DEET, DEET, DEEEEEEEEE, . . . . Dut, dut, dut, DUT, DUUUUUUH, . . . . . .[fiddle with bridge] . . . . . [whisper something to each other] . . . . . deet, deet, DEET, DEET, DEEEEEEEEE, . . . shake their heads, . . . fiddle with the bridge some more. . . . . . Dut, dut, dut, DUT, DUUUUUUH. . . . [walk around the stage looking down], . . . [come back and whisper some more] . . . . deet, deet, DEET, DEET, DEEEEEEEEE

Audience, 1-2 minutes, silence, 2-4 chuckles, . . . 4-6 minutes murmurs, then anger, then people walking out . . .. . . then more and more laughter, . . until the whole place was rolling about 8-10 minutes in.

I quote Dirty Work all the time no one knows what the **** I am talking about...well I mean they never do, but they don't this time as well. HE STOLE A CHAINSAW. NOW HE IS USING IT ON MEEEEEEE

G7 Street fighting man....ummm you pressed G8...If you like pina coladas

God, no shortage of Norm talk show gold. This Pistorius exchange just kills me. Norm's solid in standup and I love his sketches though it's not for everyone. But he's ridiculously good when he's just bullshitting around.

But my favorite is the long jokes. Only Norm could pull this off

That guy's as funny as a weiner dog. Love Norm.

Such a waste of talent.

Norm's personal life is such a disaster that he's had multiple people helping him to manage it for more than 20 years.

It's a shame.

??

watched his netflix special again. Norm is pulling a Mencia. The guy is a real jerk

I find him to be amusing but, generally, not funny enough to go out of my way to watch. He does occasionally make me laugh. For instance I heard him tell a joke about his antisemitic ventriloquist dummy and it stuck with me. Made me laugh out loud when I heard it.

Oh look its another whore!

Oh shit...I'm watching that Don Rickles scene in Dirty Work. God damn that shit was funny.

EDIT: Remembered, it was Craig T. Nelson and Barry Levinson.

I suspect he likes the booze...

Gambling

It's Baby Gorilla.

That was to reflect Artie's [d]evolution. ;)

hep hep hep hep. Are you laughing because I called you a fat pig?

And booze...

Adam has a question, he's been bothering me all week for a chance to ask you.

Swardson episode has definitely been my favorite. I wish this was a full time podcast

How to lose a sponsor

nick has been money since the time he was giving rub and tugs behind tacos, tacos, tacos, tacos.

That's why he got along so well with Adam Egot, pumping them off for $5 a man under the Queensboro Bridge.

Well he reached down to discover that it wasn't urine, but indeed it was ejaculate, . . and Uncle Terry felt pride where shame once was. . .

that johnny sure is grizzled and world weary

If we're doing this, I laughed through this more than I have in any 15-minute stretch I can recall in a while

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/itkg_fYcneg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

And not to go political, but I really liked what he had to say here

Good God, I was in tears.ROFL

On mobile so can't embed. But ROFL ROFL ROFL

Was looking for the Jeffrey Dahmer bit, but this is even better

Awesome. Thanks for posting that.

I have an idea to build a new one.
