Only Norm could pull this joke off. One of my favorites. The guys from Better Than Ezra loved it & tweeted the video earlier today as a tribute to the legend. RIP, Norm.
True story: they indeed named themselves at a talent show where they were competing against a band named Ezra, right there on the spot as a joke. Once again, Norm is smarter than everyone.
RIP to one of SNL's and modern comedy's best. This is easily my favorite joke of his because it sums up his clever, to the point wit and amazing delivery.
I played a game in class and since me and another kid are both named Ezra, he named himself “Ezra” and I named myself “the better Ezra” he got 3rd, I got 2nd
What seemed to be the coolest cat ever. Thank You for everything Sir, I'll never be as funny as you, and i guess many others are in the same boat with me. If I had imaginary friends, you'd be one of the highlights. Genius Comic.

Did they go "Aha, it was good" upon hearing the joke?
But who finished 3rd? You guessed it, Frank Stallone.
and as always in last place...crack-whore!
🤣
Dude videotaped his glass crt TV for us, and then preserved the tape for future digital upload. Thanks man.
Its a recording of a youtube video, isnt that the title in the top left?
@@JD_13you can hear a mouse click to start the video as well.
@@chriskleps7253 lol i didnt even realise but you can see the mouse cursor at the start too 😅
@@JD_13funny the stuff we don’t even notice until we are looking for it.

Possibly true story. They never told anyone how they came up with it.
@@siractionslacks890 Well, actually…

He
Coming in at number 2: everyone
that’s a myth the band spread as a joke
Only Norm could pull off this joke. It's been stuck in my head for almost 30 years now.
This was his first joke I thought of when I saw the news a short while ago. RIP to a legend, the best Weekend Update host ever.
My first thought was that he tied with cancer, 2nd thing I thought about manhole inspectors
@@cemeloks all classics. But then again, everything he said was classic
My favourite SNL joke, ever. RIP Norm, from a fellow Ottawa boy.
Agreed!!! So sad today.
Yes indeed! I sought out this video just to post it on Facebook to commemorate Norm. I remember laughing soooo much at this.
It’s up there!
I'm an Ottawa boy too!
Sounds like you haven't heard his pie chart joke.
Literally every time I hear a Better Than Ezra song (happens more often than you'd guess), I think of this joke. And I laugh & laugh.
So every time you hear good. Got it.
They play "Good" every day at work
This joke almost ruined a great concert, with K.T. Tunstall and Better Than Ezra, and Barenaked Ladies. All I could think about was NORM!
I think about, you guessed it; Frank Stallone...
His best joke ever!!! So simple. Just perfect. 🤣🤣🤣
Rip Legend. This was my all time favorite joke of his.
It's a pretty obvious punchline to understand and Norm still stares down the audience like he would on a total bomb. 💣
I Love when he would stare into my soul like that
Thank you. This joke always pops into my head whenever I hear Better then Ezra songs.
They have more songs??
RIP to one of SNL's and modern comedy's best. This is easily my favorite joke of his because it sums up his clever, to the point wit and amazing delivery.
The pause at the end to let the joke sink in is gold...
My favorite Norm joke too. Thanks for finding it!
One of his best jokes💚🌟 He lives on forever in all of the hearts of those who loved him 🌟 💚
The greatest joke in history, change my mind!
(Please get over the whole "change my mind" bit, it's really played out.
Tikle me frank Stallone
@@Kevin-tz2lv think you're wrong. Change my mind
you are a numbnuts. Change my mind
@@armwrestlingfan6804 I'm not. It's extraordinary lame. About one small notch about saying "very nice" imitating Borat.
Perhaps the best, unsung SNL joke ever.
That's the best SNL news sketch ever, for what should be obvious reasons.
One of the SNL greats talking about my fave band. 💜
He sure wasn't afraid of the camera
My favorite Norm joke. RIP funny man, thank you for the laughs.
Less than Jake soared up to #2 in the Rock charts this week, and at #1? Jake.
My favorite Norm MacDonald joke ever too. RIP Norm.
It almost looks like he’s wearing a crown
It's a joke for 90s teens, so I feel like part of a special group for getting it.
I played a game in class and since me and another kid are both named Ezra, he named himself “Ezra” and I named myself “the better Ezra” he got 3rd, I got 2nd
Also my favorite Norm joke. RIP
RIP to a legend.
lmao did you literally record your screen with a video camera while watching someone else's youtube video
Simple, yet brilliant!
R.I.P. Norm
RIP to a legend
I remember watching this episode. I only would tune in to watch SNL just for Norm and the news, especially during the O.J. trial.
What seemed to be the coolest cat ever. Thank You for everything Sir, I'll never be as funny as you, and i guess many others are in the same boat with me. If I had imaginary friends, you'd be one of the highlights. Genius Comic.
RIP Norm :(
Still one of my favorite jokes
They were on the Dirty Work soundtrack
It isn't so much the joke. It's the dead eyes that come after it.
That's pretty... good.
killed when i first it in the 90s lol.
the only down votes on this joke are from Ezra
The whole package make this so perfectly funny 😅 no one else could deliver it like Norm.
What a terrible loss 😞
"I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”
-Norm
@@echodec
"Hi, name's cancer. First name Bowel, last name Cancer."
They were on his soundtrack to dirty work. Coincidence? I think not
Miss you, Norm
Love it
My fave joke -RIP Norm.
You was the best Norm!
Best joke ever! 🤣😂🤣
I wish Less Than Jake would have charted
Less than Jake soared up to #2 in the Rock charts this week, and at #1? Jake.
I love this one
What a legend
I wish he told us what song it was. I bet it was Good.
Norm!…😎😎😎…I bust my gut on that one!…🤣😂😭
They were Gooooooooood wha-ah
Is this a RUclips video that you recorded.
Only Norm and maybe Mitch Hedberg
Sad day
"Good" joke
Better than Ezra is still Less Than Jake.
Lol I feel the same way with any other actor and then Ezra Miller 😂
In the hands of anyone else that could've been the worst joke ever. + Norm = Gold.
David Letterman did this joke on the top ten list. Who stole from who?
classic
Norm was the best!
😂👍
Don't get it. (But I was born in '68.)
RIP sir, but that was weak af.
Recording someone else's content, off a computer screen, with your cellphone...
Zero shame....
you just gotta sit back and appreciate the hustle sometimes.....
They were better though.
It's a great joke
classic
