Knows how to take a punch? He whines incessantly on Conan’s podcast about how much norms jokes bothered him, didn’t even have the balls to talk about it while he was alive
Norm's smile... you know that smile is 'cause he knows that Conan knows that his joke is ridiculous... and the more he pretends it isn't ridiculous... the more he knows that Conan knows its absolutely ridiculous, yet Conan plays along. Gotta love Norm.
Look at Norm's face reading his list of things he gave up on. See how he's enjoying every moment, looking at Conan like a mischievous child in anticipation for a reaction each time. Such a legend.
…the best part was his 5 minute explanation to the audience of what a succubus was just so he could later read that one line about dressing like an incubus…I mean even typing succubus and incubus right now makes me feel how ridiculous that night was…always seems like every part is the best part..
Norm and David Letterman were heartwarming. And Andy was such a good sport. Norm and Conan are truly entertaining. Conan waiting for what comes next draws us in. And Norm never failed to hit it out of the park. Too soon.
It’s right up there with “Doc, she’s choking.” I think Norm’s greatest talent was making people laugh at things they didn’t want to laugh at. It's the purest and highest form of comedy, to make someone genuinely laugh while also making them uncomfortable. He did it to Conan a lot.
You get so busy watching Andy and Norm go at it the end of the joke that it's hard to notice that Conan can't contain his laughter, to the point that he has to get up from his chair, when you laugh so hard that it hurts to sit still, geez - Norm is a joke machine.
I just found out recently that Andy’s son is gay. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t find those gay jokes funny. But then again, it might just be his Swedish German heritage
During the Lent list bit, I kinda hoped that after saying "stop paying thousands of dollars trying to learn to seduce Andy Ricter's wife" and letting the people laugh a little, he was gonna go "Oh wait-- this is Andy Ricter's Lent list!" as a final punch line.
It was never personal towards Andy. Conan’s sidekick could have been anyone - that person is the fall person for the jokes. Andy played it well for a while, but clearly it go to him and he took it personally. It wasn’t. That was part of Andy’s job really.. to be the fall guy.
And, to think, thirty years later, Andy is still (retroactively) sore about a bit that *he* started where Norm keeps intimating that Andy the Swedish-German is gay.
Sometimes I get a feeling that they were in a secret relationship, and that It didn't work only becaude only Norm was open about his deeply closed lack of possession of a doghouse!!!
Despite being a legitimately funny guy, Andy Richter made a fatal rookie mistake with Norm Macdonald: he took the bait. Andy Richter to this day is bothered by these jokes, and that is why Norm MacDonald relentlessly, ruthlessly and consistently went after Andy. Andy just cannot help himself and Norm trolled him to the extreme *every* *single* *time*
I always liked Andy but will never forgive him for distancing himself so aggressively after Norm died, like trying to call him out or something. Really awful move by him literally within days of the man’s death. You know what they say; speak ill of the dead!
If the show is fronted by a comic, and has his name in the title, and you appear every night, off to one side of him, you are his sidekick. A sidekick exists to be the butt of jokes. The fact that only one person honoured that convention doesn’t mean he was wrong. Norm was just keeping it real.
He wanted Andy to be his Adam. But Andy wasn't his Adam, he was Conan's Andy, and I do think he was misused. Not that it wasn't funny, but it also wasn't nice.
@@Barnaclebeard nope. Conan’s sidekick was Andy. When Norm got a show with his name in the title, he got himself a sidekick. Fella goes by the name, Adam Eget. The big difference is Norm (and to a lesser extent Adam) are comedians, so they get it. Conan (and to a lesser extent Andy) are writers, so they get butthurt.
@@graemecreegan6749Well to be clear. The Conan show obviously had writers that weren’t Conan and Andy, meaning for the 20 or so years they were on TV they had a major role in front of the live audience. And Conan, butthurt? I really have not seen any example of that occurring.
Something great was when the Team Coco channel put out a video of Andy's favourite guests and the commenters were furious that Andy didn't include Norm. I mean, can you blame him lmao
Andy and his wife had Norm cancelled from what would have been his last appearance on Conan, because Norm had expressed sympathy for his friends Rosanne and Louis C.K. when their careers were sent into a tailspin.
@@mirkomeyerhoff2700 Can't recall where I heard it, but I distinctly remember Norm coming to the defense of both Rosanne and Louie shortly after those news stories broke, which was very risky to his career. He was friends with both of them, so I think he felt a duty to stand by them in their time of need. Plus, neither one of them is Swedish-German.
Andy is genial, I like him. He’s part of the Conan show, which was my favorite late night show, so he’s alright by me. But a couple of his and his wife’s tweets bordered on trashing Norm… I was ready to jump ship on Andy. He redeemed himself by some respectful comments after Norm’s passing. RIP Norm. While you were here, you were THE BEST.
@@Massacretalitor Andy mentioned that some Norm fans would refer to him as “Swedish German“, and noted the origin of the phrase. He also said words to the effect of that it was lame to tease somebody by insinuating that they are gay, and furthermore, if he were gay, he would be out and proud. I don’t remember the wife’s contribution, except that she was pretty strident about it. I believe Norm responded in a very respectful and polite way.
I miss Norm MacDonald What a loss to the world! I will pray for America. P God Bless you. I wish Andy would come around to loving the attention Norm MacDonald gave him through the years
Unfortunately, I just learned that Andy has committed himself body and soul to righteous jihad against the Great Satan that is America. While I do not personally agree with Andy Richter's choice to bring death to every man, woman and child in our great nation, I do respect his right to self-determination.
Andy didnt have the humility to be Norm's Adam Eget, who took part in some of the best comedic moments in history imo.
