"Hilters dead!? I didn't even know he was sick" that's my favorite Norm quote. Plays so well into how we all felt when he died lmao we all were forced to quote norms joke the day he died.... Legendary 😂
I remember older simpler times when it wasn't considered offensive or controversial to say "I think we should have a president who doesn't murder people". That used to be a statement everybody could agree on regardless of political affiliation.
Yeah, those old hag liberal women didn't know how to handle someone who isn't afraid of them. I liked that they said he would get a call from the government on Monday. They were trying to cancel people back in the 90s.
Later that night when "Who wants to be a millionaire" aired, Norm was the final contestant on that episode. He declared that he was going to donate his winnings to medical research and he was on the million dollar question and knew the answer but was unsure and ended up opting to take the $500,000 guaranteed instead. He was an amazing man.
He was unsure, but he did in fact say the right answer, then said "final answer," but Regis didn't actually take that as a final answer like the rules dictate. He instead continued to press Norm and psyche him out, leading him to doubt his answer enough to opt for the half million instead. Regis got a lot of sh*t for essentially scamming him out of the $1 million, and I am inclined to believe that the network told Regis to be as obstinate as possible in order to prevent any contestant from winning the million. Why would a network want someone taking $1 million dollars from them? At the very least, Regis was trying to make dramatic TV by making Norm doubt himself, because initially, Norm kept his cool, took everything very casually, and gave his educated guess within a reasonable amount of time. Regis couldn't have that. The audience at home wanted to see Norm sweat a little.
@@j-rey- Norm didn't say final answer. Regis chimed in before he could. Regis was nervous because he knew Norm didn't know the answer and was making his best guess at the risk of $470k. Norm made the mistake of getting psyched out because he believed Regis had the correct answers in front of him despite Regis telling him several times that he did not. Also, the million dollar prize was insured, so it would have been less costly for them if he got the answer correct.
It wasn't medical research. The Charity was called something like Hole in the Wall, ran by Paul Newman. It was supposed to be a camp for sick kids, as he claimed.
you can only call it weaponized incompetence if your idea of competence is going along with what the hens expect. for example, you could try to say the whole phone thing was weaponized incompetence, but, in reality, it was a lame idea that the producer of a womens daytime tv talk show thought would be funny so he tried to foist it onto one of comedies greatest minds and norm simply declined to try to polish that particular turd on live tv. ironically, it was exactly this casual tearing the thing open to expose its inner workings while tossing it in the trash that injected some small amount of humor into the lame phone skit idea. none of what norm did there was even the pretense of incompetence. if anything, this was a masterclass of competence in the form of weaponized non-compliance and these are exactly the type of people who cant cope with anything that doesnt actively conform to their expectations. disclaimer: i know its 4 months later and i dont mean to be contrarian, i just happened to see your comment and it got my wheels turning. on the whole: yeah bro that shit was funny, by God.
Clicking on "one" Norm McDonald video never fails to start a Norm McDonald marathon for me. One becomes two, becomes all day while I binge drink Grape Fanta...😂 Good stuff.
It honestly seems like he was leaning into Bill Cosby knowing full well the monster he was. Kinda had a wink wink when he asked Barbara if she loved Cosby too.
@@vhscopyofseinfeld yeah, comics were all in the know on Cosby so Norm being full method troller 24/7 every waking hour of his life I think was playing the long game with the Cosby stuff. Like he knew in the moment the set up stuff hyping him up, emphasizing repeatedly how great a man he was and never had a single accusation levied against him wouldn't get anything in real time at the moment, but if the Cos's secret sexual assault crimes ever got exposed, it's like he purposely already laid the ground work for these planted seeds to be ready for a full blown comedy harvest decades down the road later making Norm look more like a NORMstradamus, if you know what I mean. Y'know, on account he like seemingly prophesied Cosby's downfall and all. It appears all the more evident by the way in how he keeps goading Barbara into answering his very leading questions, getting her on record to commit to publicly confirming for all prosperity that she agrees thinking Cosby is a great man, but this den of cackling hens even managed to interrupt Barbara before she could answer, therefore robbing us thirty years fast forward to the future of now and the pleasure of watching a clip on endless loop where Bab's would've been on film saying she endorsed history's longest running successful serial rapist who sexual assault spree went years and years, spanning decades undetected with hall of fame numbers when you factor in his peerless unbroken criminal win streak amongst all his other historical accomplishments and career accolades. That's like having a perfect season, but every season, for forty straight years without coming close to taking an L. That's a first ballot hall of famer right there. Unanimous. If the Coopertown inductions were for most heinous despicable vile hot garbage of a person with crimes against humanity and sexual degradation against women. Cosby would be a shoe-in! And Barbara Wa-Wa would['ve been his biggest female celebrity supporter and endorser with journalistic street cred. Yeah, now that's even funnier a joke than Norm's lifelong commitment to gaslighting the world his every waking moment on the planet. The idea of calling Walter's a journalist. Bwahahahaha. Good one.
He went on there and told jokes from like the 1920's on a dare! The whole thing was planned, and I think Bob was in on it, but that was about it. He found these old jokes, thought it would be funny to deliver them at the roast, and I think someone said "you won't do that" and boom, of course he did. I didn't know that at first, stumble on it somewhere.
Ive heard quite a few famous people do a Norm impression. Norm actually said he hates how people do a nasally ehhh voice when they do it. But you are definitely right, no one can immitate his originality
1:22 Bang on man well said. Thats a good word to describe Norm for sure. Another one would be bastard! Jokes aside Im glad you dudes still react and love Norm! You guys liked him and made videos about him way before a lot of youtube even knew about him. Cheers lads
Norm had an odd fascination with what happens beyond the joke. He will always tell a joke,and immediately look for the response. His biggest smiles come when he gets a response he was looking for. His bemused smile will turn into a huge grin.
The Cosby story he didn't tell was this. (Condensed) Cosby invites a girl to his room. What a big and fancy room you have, she says. - He says, thank you, yes it is. Can I get you a glass of water? Why yes she says. That would be nice. He comes back and hands it to her. Why is it purple and fizzing? (She says) -That's fancy celebrity water he says. Just shut up and drink it.
my favorite thing sbout norm is that i never thought he was funny when i grew up with him on tv as a kid. . . i actually found him annoying cuz i never thought he was funny. but now here we are 30 years later and i cannot imagine a more funny person to ever even try to be funny. norm wins every trophy. he just is not funny enough for children.
I feel the same As a teen I liked my humor straight up I didn't "get it" Now I'm in awe of the brilliance of this man He always stayed true He's one of about 3 celebrities I truly mourned and miss RIP 🙏
Norm would've won a million on "who wants to be a millionaire", if he was betting his own money, but a look on Regis' face scared him. Probably the smartest comedian ever, but he tried to hide it, "you never want to be the smartest person in the room, people will hate you", as he once said to Larry King.
I'm pretty much convinced Norm had found out some dark shit about Cosby. Maybe not an exact idea of what was going on, but that he knew it wasn't all squeaky clean. He put him on blast imho. Norm was the ultimate troll. I'm sure he didn't actually think G.W. Bush was a great man, either. He took such few things seriously, and that "interview" was the crown jewel example of that. He used The View (a platform he clearly had no use for) as a way to mock whatever he could in a few minutes of airtime. RIP Norm!
IIRC he said on a podcast that he went to the The View to do a normal interview, but they tried to ambush him with the Bush picture to imply that he is super right wing or something (which as we all know is bad for some reason), and he didn't really care about politics, but the fact that they did that annoyed him so he just trolled them. Also the producer of the show had been trying to get him to do the phone thing for weeks which he thought was a silly idea and the guy kept calling him about it days before the interview. They put the phone in his pocket right before, so he just ruined the whole thing.
They are correct “ No one is like Norm”. Norm was not intimidated by any of those girls. When he realized he was ticking them off he kept at it. Manslaughter. What some didn’t realize Norm was a genius. He loved playing the dumb guy. Very well read mean. RIP you funny guy❤
Norm was fearless. Any comedian will tell you how terrifying it is to stand before an antagonistic crowd who hate you. Norm LEANED INTO that terror. Norm said it was great to make people laugh, but even better to make them smile. A genuine smile is an act of intentional reflection whereas a laugh is involuntary, an almost unthinking reflex. Norm was going for the solitary smile in the midst of the ocean of spiteful stares. How amazing is that?!?
What’s funny about the view part, norm had been up for like 30 hours strait playing poker. Man showed up dead add tired and still messed with them like a pro.
"I thought it was a matter of record", will go down in history as one of his greatest phrases.

Norm's appearance on The View is TV Hall of Fame material. That was some OG trolling.
😂
Yeah, those old hag liberal women didn't know how to handle someone who isn't afraid of them. I liked that they said he would get a call from the government on Monday. They were trying to cancel people back in the 90s.
Norm's second appearance was hilarious as well. He was a lot less blatant but his jokes and sarcasm were so subtle that they didn't even catch on.
@@canadianninja1756 They invited him back??!
@@broheme8922 Multiple times lol. I made a mistake though, I believe the one I am talking about was actually his last appearance.

exactly why im here tonight, i watched "one" Norm video, and now im on number three or four.... hahaha
That view clip hits different knowing everything we now know about Bush, Clinton and Cosby.
It honestly seems like he was leaning into Bill Cosby knowing full well the monster he was. Kinda had a wink wink when he asked Barbara if she loved Cosby too.

The clip was from Norm's sitcom called Norm...it was the best thing on tv!
his intentional bombing at Bob Saget's roast was mwah *chef's kiss*

The greatest troll that's ever lived...I always end up laughing my ass off at the exact same jokes...😂
Norm tolerating the view, dumping on them, and gaining their trust and love at the same time 😆
Not their trust or love. They didn’t invite him back.
@SAK1855 eh well, can't please everyone haha
Norm on The View could be seen as a Master Class in Trolling. I LOVE that clip.
I love that Norm reached out to you guys to thank you for watching his stuff. So cool.
Really?? Where can I see it?
good one
Norm is and always will be my favorite comedian.
" ..if it's a boy, I'm gonna have sex with it" Goddamn Norm was fucking brutal LMAO 😂
Norm was a national treasure. We need him on the looney here in Canada.
I second that! Or at least on a passport page. ❤ 🇨🇦 ❤
Ive heard quite a few famous people do a Norm impression. Norm actually said he hates how people do a nasally ehhh voice when they do it. But you are definitely right, no one can immitate his originality
I think Jay Mohr does it the best of the bunch, but he's no Norm 😁
Nah, Jim Downey hands down.
Jim Breuer does a comical one, but for real no one even comes close to his delivery and smile
guy had a nasally voice
I love that Norm blew up the hackey phone bit that way. He could have just said no....instead he humiliated everyone
Norm making the camera man haul ass in reverse as he mad his entrance was telling for what was in store. Love love love that appearance at The View.
"Alright...manslaughter!" 😂😂😂
He's just trying to compromise and find common ground with these ladies.
a Canadian treasure, Norm is missed greatly
Just to see the utter glee in Norm's eyes while he's trolling Barbara, is just priceless

Congratulations on 300K fellas. I was down with y'all since it was only ONE number in front of the comma!🎉
I miss Norm every day. He was truly one of a kind.
Norm f'n with the clowns on the View is the absolute best. Bunch of snakes squirming, very fun.
Norm masterfully trolling The View.
fearless with an appetite for destruction. A TRUE comic!
Norm inciting the wrath of the View shrews is the best.
Shrews is a great word, very under used, and appropriate in this context! Good one, thanks. : ))
HAPPY 300K SUBS!! 🥳 YOU BOTH LIGHT UP MY LIFE. 🥰THANK YOU ❤❤❤
OMG - the Clinton episode is so funny and butt checking for the audience!
Then these cows for the future "View".
I was checking my butt the whole time watching the Clinton episode.
Norm on the View speaking facts.
I love it how he bombs and it's just as funny as all the jokes that hit.
Norm is the best love ya norm
Norm could careless who you where, he had no filter. Legend
Norm won 500 000 on that millionaire. He also got a standing ovation at the bill Clinton dinner.

Jay Mohr’s Norm impression is decent, no one completely nails it though
Pigeon does a pretty fair impression
Jay's is the best one I have heard
Jay mohr is criminally underrated tbh...he a fantastic impressionist and his comedy specials r good as well.
Jim Downey does the best
Please show it
Norm intentionally butchering the cadence on the The View is priceless.
There's no better guest than Norm Macdonald. He's the 🐐
That was the Norm Show. Hilarious, there wasn't many of us who watched it and I think it only lasted a year.
Norm was physically assaulted on the View.😂😂
10:01 norm needs a statue
His son did a fantastic impression of him, when he accepted an award in his name. Actually , he just has his cadence and looks, that's probably it. 😅
David spade does a pretty good impression of Norm. I just heard it recently when Shane Gillis was on his podcast.
9:14 that little run he does with that sinister smile like he knows he about to troll the hell out of them..😂
The fact that after Joy made fun of him for not going far in who wants to be a millionaire, only to go on and win it was the biggest fu. Lol
“Well, I hope the Democrats don’t steal the election from the winner” is such a great and unfortunately canny introductory statement.
Yes!! 💯
Nobody was more comfortable in uncomfortable moments, he'd just let the groans happen and grin.

When I have a few beers, I tend to watch frankenstein's lab. Also, I pee a lot.
Norm taught honey badgers how to not care.
I think this is my fave comment yet! ❤ 😂
Yo that was THE NORM SHOW it was really good, It was on when The Drew Carey show was on, had some good actors in it specially Nikki Cox. RIP Norm.
Totally hinted at what was going to become common knowledge about Clinton and Cosby
back in the lab
great post, congrats on 300k, i am now one of them after visitied several times
"His taxes will be audited" that's what they do
There will never be another Norm Mcdonald. That smile meant chaos. He was going to say something and you never know what he's going to say.
The only YT channel I can like the video even before watching it :) keep it up
I read that Barbara knew about the Cosby allegations but she wasn't allowed to talk about it yet
Midnight snack about Clinton is a hint at pizza gate
No, it isn't.
@@j-rey- Maybe it's not, but based on Norm's politics, I wouldn't put it past him that he believed in bullshit like that.
