Norm MacDonald: the FUNNIEST MAN IN THE WORLD!!

[HamsterDemocracy]

Man, you thought Borat was funny?

Ohmyfreakinggod.

I saw this interview years ago and always remembered the part where he said, "Is it spelled B-O-R-E-D?", but I didn't know it was Norm.

In the past few years I noticed Norm on SNL and became a huge fan. I also bought his recent comedy album, which was good.

Then I just saw this interview again tonight, and my god, it's the funniest interview I've ever seen.

Check out parts one and two - they're equally funny.

He's the funniest guy out there, or at least one of them.

I'm still laughing at the second interview clip, when he imitates Larry Flynt wheeling himself into the room while he's having sex: "Arghghhg!!!"

 

I was rolling on the floor guys, and I rarely laugh at stuff when I'm by myself.

[EFISH]

Yeah, I love Norm McDonald...

Dirty Work is suuuuch a great movie

Also another movie where he kidnapped himself (damn cant remember the name) that one was hilarious too

funny dude

Norm is fired from SNL and asked to host a year and a half later. He comes back and sabotages the SNL opening monologue and tells the show that they suck:

"I figured out I haven't gotten funnier...the show's gotten worse!"

Thank you Russian roulette!  When I was in grad school, some prof. in an effort to get to know the 35 or so of us, had us write down the names of 3 people we'd like to meet.  Most chose names of people they thought would be most appropriate.  For me, at the time, it was a no-brainer.  Axl, Stern, and MacDonald.     Norm rules. 

[Axl4Prez2004]

I haven't watched a full episode of SNL since Norm left...and even then, he was the only funny character on the show. 

Towards the end of his stay on SNL his skits were great because he just didn't give a fuck and you could tell.  I wish there were some of those clips around.  Great stuff.

[Bill 213]

You know this is grand.......very few people appreciate the humor of Norm and it's a shame.  He has the driest sense of humor that you can have, but it rocks for him.  It's just a shame he gets delegated to the lowest roles possible.   Dirty Work was a friggen classic.

Yeah, it's the type of humor you either love or hate. He's a lot like Kaufman in that sense - he's really misunderstood. He always does talk shows acting as if he hasn't planned it all out, and he acts totally random and drunk/high, but it's definitely all part of his comedy.

[Kujo]

Norm was great on SNL. I would turn it on to watch him do Weekend Update and then change it.

His tv show "Norm" was very funny as well.

Bought his new cd but have only listened to a few tracks. I like what I heard so far, though.

[Bill 213]

Hahaha I forgot about this one.......This was Norm's take on the first Weekend Update after OJ was found not guilty....... "Well it's official, murder is legal in the state of California."  And the ever so awesome commentary on the Jacko and Lisa Marie Presley divorce....."She's more of a stay-at-home type, and he's more of a homosexual pedophile."  Norm is the greatest.

More Norm:

-LaToya Jackson. What does it take to be known as the 'crazy' member of the Jackson family?

-Who are safer drivers? Men or women? Well, according to a new survey, 55% of adults feel that women are most responsible for minor fenderbenders, while 78% blame men for most fatal crashes. Please note that the percentages in these pie graphs do not add up to 100% because the math was done by a woman. For those of you hissing at that joke, it should be uh noted that that joke was written by a woman. So, now you don't know what the hell to do, do ya? Nah, I'm just kidding. We don't hire women.

-[as Burt Reynolds on Jepordy, selecting "A Petit Dejuner" the the list] Yeah, I'll take ape tit for $200.

-The Rolling Stones reunited for a twenty-fifth anniversary tour last week. Keith Richards said that he's happy to continue to do what he's been doing for the past twenty-five years: cheating death.

-A new medical report says that drug use is up in high school students.
[Norm holds up a handful of money] [slyly] Don't I know it?

-Actor Christian Slater was let out of prison for one night to attend the premiere of his new movie Hard Rain. Fifteen minutes into the film, Mr. Slater asked to be escorted back to prison.

-Blimpies has started supplying subs for Delta Airlines to serve on its flights. And, in return, Delta is giving Blimpies barf bags to hand out in its restaurants

-Kenny G has a Christmas album out this year. [waves] Hey, happy birthday, Jesus! Hope you like crap!

-Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was attacked and killed by another inmate this week. [cheers and applause] Just before the fight, Dahmer threatened, "Hey, don't mess with me, pal. I used to eat guys like you for breakfast!"

-And a, uh, a priest - a priest says that he got Dahmer to believe in God before he died. Asked if this would get Dahmer into Heaven, the priest said, uh, "No, but it was fun to make him think so."

-And now, it's time for Weekend Update's movie reviews. This week, I saw "Interview with the Vampire." And here's - here's my review, um: "Not gay enough!"

[Bill 213]

Haha Kujo thanks a million for those...I forget so much of the Weekend Update stuff.  The Kenny G one cracked me up....so to the point.  Keep the Norm jokes coming.

[Axl4Prez2004]

Thank you Kujo.  You had my all-time favorite in there about women and math, oh god that's classic. 

Someone mentioned Norm, the sit-com.  Yeah, I watched it just to see Norm.  Oh yeah, Willie Tanner of Alf was on that as well. 

Every single Weekend Update with Norm was hilarious as hell.  I remember around the time of his dismissal there were rumors he had jars of his own urine in the building.  To think he had to work with all those talentless hacks back when he was fired.

Kujo!!!      Cheers to you man!  These quotes are priceless!  To think a buddy of mine liked Dennis Miller's Weekend Update better...bitch please!     "Women can't drive."   

[jazjme]

Brings back memories, awesome stuff Kujo!

[HamsterDemocracy]

He was fired from SNL because they didn't think he was funny enough for the Updates.

Oh, yeah, so they got Fallon.

 

There's no comparison. Norm was a million times better than Tina Fey and Jimmy "Ruin Every Gag By Laughing Hysterically and Pretending to Cover it Up" Fallon.

Yeah but first they had Colin Quinn.  That guy was about as funny as watching paint dry.  He was still better than Fallon though.  Fallon was the nail in the coffin for SNL.

[Kujo]

I'll look for some more, glad you all enjoy them. I always thought Norm was underappreciated.

He was actually fired because the president of NBC was a friend of OJ Simpson, and Norm was asked to lay off the OJ jokes. You can guess how he responded to that . The final straw was when he let an F bomb drop during a broadcast. He was fired almost immediately as management felt he did it on purpose.

[Axl4Prez2004]

While reading those posted jokes, it sparked my memory.  Wasn't there a little joke he had where he mentioned Houston, Texas outlawing lap-dances, and comparing it to Nazi Germany?  It was priceless.  I just can't remember how it went.  Anybody remember?

[Kujo]

That doesn't ring a bell but I'll look for it. In the mean time:
