A Tribute to Norm Macdonald

- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2021
- Norm Macdonald is undoubtedly one of the greatest comedians to ever walk the face of the planet. He is my absolute favorite comedian for so many reasons I couldn't list them all if I tried. A few reasons that stand out are his absolutely masterful comedic timing and delivery, his intelligent and carefully-crafted observations, and his ability to be honest in a world full of deception. Norm Macdonald is undoubtedly a comedian's comedian. He was known in the mainstream for being on Billy Madison and Saturday Night Live, but aside from that his stand up and late night appearances really solidified why his comedic voice stood out from the rest. Louis C.K described Norm Macdonald as the closest comedian to Mark Twain because of his voice, and ability. Another thing I absolutely adored about Norm's comedy was the simplicity of his style. He would deliver things that everyone has observed before, but he'd do it in a humble manner that would catch you off-guard and make you laugh endlessly. There are often comedians that can be grouped together for a certain genre or style, but for Norm there is simply no comedian like him. He was truly an enigma because of his comedic voice, and there will never be another person like him. Norm left behind a legacy that no fan will ever forget. He's been an inspiration to many seasoned comedians and also young comedians like myself. I aspire to one day be able to do something similar to what this amazing man did on stage. The world of stand-up comedy is a slightly darker place without Norm Macdonald. I hope you guys enjoyed this tribute video. God Bless Norm Macdonald, may he rest in peace.

Hey Everyone, I’m glad you all enjoyed the tribute video. Norm Macdonald is the funniest comedian to ever live, and he actually inspired me to start doing stand-up comedy. If you’d like to see a video of me doing stand up please click this link, I’d really appreciate it: ruclips.net/video/u2-4Dg7tCSU/видео.html
Ii Mm oli
If anyone’s reading this reply, it’s worth a listen. It’s actually pretty good and I went into it not expecting much. Good shit man! Keep at it
Not bad my man, your confidence is admirable. Keep it up!
Lol beer sprayed out my nose
It was a NATIONAL TRAGEDY!
Miss this guy. His death will forever be known in American History as the worst thing to ever happen in September.
Reminds me of something...
Makes me think of that tragedy
"9-11 is a horrible name for an airline"
@@TheThemaninpink 9/11, 9/14, they're both terrible.
He was Canadian
Norm calling the stingray that killed Steve Irwin "some fruity fish" is just gold to me
"who did it, Frank?" Lol that's the part that got me
@@buddymckee11 "This shirt is Franks. See, it has Frank written on it.".
That sting ray. The more I hear about the stingray that killed Steve Irwin the more I realize that stingray is a real jerk.
It was tragic .. you know at the time .. -it was like a week earlier
David Irving?
Norm seemed happier when people booed him rather than when they laughed.
The boos were the best jokes in the world, they just take a decade to simmer a bit.
I think its because he knew even tho the people in the audience were booing, the people who would laugh at the recording, would laugh really fuckin hard, and he thrived on that. He seems to be having so much fun in every clip of him "bombing".
I think he was always trying to entertain other comedians. The audience is the joke lol
@@randyfaubion9257 i think thats exactly right. He is like the most technical comediant if that makes any sense lol
I think he was a brilliant comedian, but also had some issues that made him uncomfortable with praise and approval.
God I miss this old chunk of coal
Me too
Maybe coal to you, but that's just a way of saying Canadian diamond lmao
Either way, 9/11 was a national tragedy
@@patbl61 reminds me of an airline I once heard about
So sad when comedy cried...
“Unless you kill your wife and a waiter” is the best punchline I’ve ever heard
Followed by the best face palm I've ever seen
The setting of the joke was at least 50% of the punch. That's as high art in comedy as the Mona Lisa was to painting.
If the “dominant” culture doesn’t tell the truth, the comedians have to.
Ken Griffey JR not having it.
I liked the female chief of staff joke too.. The silence in crowd that was followed was priceless
I’ll never forget how uncomfortable every athlete looked when Norm hosted the ESPY’s. It made everything so much more funny.
Honestly, Tiger Woods had kind of an wholesome expression on his face compared to all of these other dudes.
It sucks because you’ll never see anything like that for the ESPYS ever again. With all of the social justice garbage and attacks on language you will never see another comedian, especially someone like Norm, host another ESPYS again. Now it’s just boring, woke crap where these people all kiss each other’s butts and and talk about social justice issues and take literally all of the fun out of the show because they can’t shut up about their activism for two seconds. In fact, they would have probably canceled Norm for some of those jokes. Just sad.
16:55 "Congratulations- that is something that No one can ever take Away from you...unless you Kill your Wife and some Waiter..".EPIC face palm, confusion, one guy shaking his head like - just "W T F - " 🙊💩🙈🙊
Norm:😉👍
Makes me wish I was American and knew all these athletes he was roasting ... because that seemed to me he murdered that whole room ... ever sentence he uttered. It was glorious.
@@jjones797damn. Actually felt some powerful passion written into this post. Beautiful. Understand your frustrations completely.
“The crocodile hunter got killed… who was it Frank?”
“Nah man you don’t even wanna know”
Some fruity fish
I think he'll be known to history as maybe the bravest comedian.
I don’t think it was bravery. He just truly dgaf what people thought of him
Stalin was just as brave
...Or so the Germans would have us believe.
a real hero
Real bravery is Bruce Jenner I mean whatever her name is now.
I've heard all of these jokes dozens of times since his passing and still love them.
And laugh my ass off every time I hear them.
The fear in the celebrities' eyes at the ESPYs was palpable
"Black men can't jump either."
Omg, I'm dead.
So is Norm
The simple fact Norm was asked to host the espy's that year, is all the proof you need to understand how awesome the 90's were! Rip Norm, you're up in heaven now making God pee himself
They figured, this guy has a sitcom, he can't be that bad!
He still is NOT gay.
@@jfpOne23 no just deeply closeted
Yes, the 90s were pretty good. Really anything prior to that tragedy.
That's a great perspective!
The 90s was the greatest decade in America.
I really miss this man. His comedy got me through dark times. Never thought I'd cry over a celebrity's passing, and I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one. Rest in Paradise Norm. You were truly a gift to this world
Likewise. I’m glad you enjoyed.
Same here, he was a torch in a dark dimwitted world.
yeah man i haven't cried in a loooooong time but cried multiple times that day. Lost a legend
Yes he was. I hate using that word
He has moved on…..or so the Germans would have us believe.
It's that sh*t eating grin. No one has ever had a better grin.
I laughed so hard my ribs started hurting during that "Mangrate" segment towards the end. It was infectious
"You know man, it was tragic... at the time."
"What???! 44 is a ripe old age for a crocodile hunter." He was the all-time master of timing. He would state the most completely obvious truths about something very traumatic; find a silver lining somewhere and make you cry laughing just by talking about it. I totally remember my first Norm experience. Who remembers when Comedy Central was called the Comedy Channel and it was just short clips like 5 minutes of different comics at different clubs everywhere? It was 1990 or 91, I was 12 years old and Norm came on and did a bit about Satan convincing him to chop up his family and stuff them into duffel bags. And Satan turns out to be his neighbor or friend, Bob with a mask on. Anybody remember that? I can't find it. I think it's the best bit to this day. It was dark but fricken hilarious 😂 "It's me...(takes off mask) Bob!!!"
“ITS ME BOB!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@TheComedyHistorian "Ahhh!! Geeze, Bob! You scared me... I got my family here chopped up in a duffel bag... Good one, Bob... chalk one up for you there, Bobby." 😆😅🤣🤣🥰
@@joshbrant894 i went to find it bacause this premise is hilarious.
ruclips.net/video/mSK7X3ETQbg/видео.html no video but the audio is exactly as you described lmao
.ruclips.net/video/mSK7X3ETQbg/видео.html
@@ubwcolt yesss!! Over 30 years later it's still one of the greatest jokes I've ever heard! Normie shaped my entire sense of humor at age 13 in that one bit 🤣🤣🥰
That polish sausage joke is without a doubt the funniest joke I have ever heard. The setup was just perfect
not even norms best
Even the dog house one in this same video is better 😂
Only Norm could make a joke about Steve Irwin’s death funny, not tasteless, and somehow venerable to Steve. Outstanding
" unless you kill your wife and a waiter"! Nobody but Norm would have the balls to do that joke.
In which case all bets are off
How smoothly he went from Carlos Slim to Carlos Thin.
I loved the look in his eye when he waited for the audience to feel a slow burn. It was golden.
Jon stewart at 3:45 going “please don’t do this anymore” just got me
Me too man. He didn’t want more, but Norm took that dark topic just a few days after it happened and made people smile with it. Truly incredulous.
On another show Jon Stewart said after laughing at one of Norm’s jokes: “I feel both shame and delight.” Best description of Norm’s humor there is.😏
the section about the ManGrate is pure gold, making the dumbest mockery of one of their only sponsors like that
Norm roasting SNL while guest hosting SNL is the pinnacle of comedy lol
One of my favorite Norm moments of all time.
I love when he's at that event with all those sports celebrities and he'll say someone's name and the camera turns to them and they'll smile but you see fear in their eyes
Norm and Larry talking about iron was gold! Larry chewed his ass up!😂😂😂😂
That’s literally one of my favorite moments from the podcast. CAST EYE-RON!
The best part is Larry never had a funny bone in his body and that dumbass didn't ever realize he was part of a bit.
Larry thought he was so smart but showed his ignorance in that moment.
Norm crushed that dummy
27:16
His genuine shock that Andy had heard of the Mangrate is hilarious.
I really loved how he trolled the hell out of that epsy venue, yup they are used to people suck up to them untill they met Norm,,,
Rip my friend, we were lucky to have you. Love you man.
We were.
@@TheComedyHistorian Wish you all the best my friend. Respect for standing behind a Mic.
Mark Messier's reaction to the kickboxing line😁
That OJ joke at the end will always be my favorite...it makes me laugh every time
Long live Norm 👑
Balls of steel when he did the White House and roasted the Clintons...
God damn this man was a treasure. I love that feeling when he finished a joke and you start out kinda chuckling, but as the absurdity of the joke rolls around in your brain, you realize the levels of humor he just stitched together, and it builds and builds til you are laughing to the point of physical pain. The polish joke he tells Conan is a perfect example. God rest his soul. We didn't even know he was sick.
I would assume he would respond to the sick comment something like "why, does it matter?"
@@jamescrock62 it's a reference to one of his jokes
The Goat. To able able to take a unfunny, 10 second, 2 sentence joke, and than add 2 or 3 minutes of non comedy filler after the set up so when the silly punchline lands you realize the joke was on you is so amazing and hilarious. Nobody else can or will ever be able to do that. Norm didn't just tell jokes, he showed you that everything is a joke and to not take things so serious. This lesson makes life so much better, and maybe that's just from my perspective, but I hope many people have learned this and live happier lives because of Norm.
He was sent from heaven with an unbelievable talent, and now he's back. God bless Norm Macdonald.
God Bless Normie
Your comment would make me feel so warm and fuzzy if only I could believe in this shit..
If God loved Norm he wouldn't have turned him into a Pigeon. No. Norm is in Hell, for making God chuckle at his own work.
Gods greatest hits such as: 9/11, or the holocaust.
@@joeterfqdwgvqwgw Never too late.
@@dylanc9174 the Jews are not God.
I have never seen that Crocodile hunter bit. That's hysterical
It’s one of my favorites of his.
His comedy is timeless
Truly
And his timing is comedic
Norm made me laugh more then any other person, he struck me as person who lived his life through the laughter he provided for the world. He always looked a little sad to me and I thought what a shame it was that he didn't know how much we loved him. I just miss you Norm, God bless you, you made the world a lot more fun.
Likewise. God bless Norm. I’m glad you appreciated the video
I think he was a very introverted dude who knew a lot about this world without succombing to bitterness and that's part of what was beautiful about this man.
I feel the sadness too but I'm an introvert and understand not liking the parties etc. I don't know why he didn't want a relationship after his divorce but from 50 on he was hiding his illness except for family/manager and maybe being on meds and getting treatments, made him lonely. It's hard which is why he'd hint at his illness in some interviews. Hearing some people joke about his bloat (which seems very obvious from meds) must have been hard at times. You want to hide it but then you think, "How little do they care, how little do they really see me?"
I never thought I'd laugh at heavy duty grilling grates. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
His mischievous, shit-eating grin is what always gets me.
Andy unable to contain his laughter at the line "come on over and have, uh, chicken with me" @ around 23:45 is hilarious 😂
Gets me every time 🤣
Just noticed it this time. Brilliant.
2:42 The "Crocodile Hunter" bit was HYSTERICAL😂😂😂 (Some fruity fish😂)
I laughed. I cried. I questioned my sensuality. It was brilliant. Thanks for the laughs Norm.
*sexuality
@@bernardblack6116 29:10
Savage comedian. Rest in Peace Norm
I can revisit Norm jokes over and over and they never get old. Very few comics have that ability.
2:59 Yknow you’re a master comedian when other people are begging you laughing “please don’t make me laugh at this” 😂😂
1 Million views… I’m speechless guys. I’m beyond thankful that this many of you were able to enjoy Norm’s comedy and appreciate the legacy he left behind as I do. Thank you all so much, another Norm video will be coming out in September.
One of the best compilations around man. Good job 👍
@@timw9047 thanks pal
@@TheComedyHistorian ... HAH?
Looks closer to 6
But……did the video come out on 9/11?
“So, John I hear your growing older”
Very rarely do I ever get sad when a celebrity dies. When I heard that Norm Macdonald died, I was very sad and it affected me far more than it probably should have.
I went to see Norm live on a few occasions when he came to town. For one of his visits, I purchased my tickets online to the small venue which only held around 250 or so people. When I ordered the ticket for myself, I wrote a comment on my order explaining that I realized that there was no specific seating arrangement within the venue and they just seat people as people arrive. I stated that I was going through a horrible divorce, was in a bad way, and it would mean the world to me if they might be able to seat me somewhere closer to the front. I also said that I fully understood if my request could not be met. Well, when I showed up that night, there was a line of people in front of me being brought in by the ushers. When they looked at my ticket, they asked me to just stand off to the side while they let a few groups go in front. The man who set me aside just said for me to follow him and he brought me to a small table right beside the stage; and no one else was seated with me. When Norm Macdonald entered after the first few comics finished their sets, he stopped at my table, shook my hand, and said “Have a good night man, I hope you enjoy the show” and then he patted me on the back. Norm did well over two hours and the staff turned the house lights on while he was still performing!! On his way out, he shook my hand again, but didn’t say anything.
I’ll never know if it was set up for me to be so close and to have my own table; not if they told Norm about what I had said. But I have a difficult time believing it was all just a coincidence.
The world lost an amazing man when Norm passed. He touched a lot of people in a way that only Norm could; which is much different than Michael Jackson’s way of touching people…
I never got to see him live. That will always be a regret of mine
Larry King: that’s why English is the hardest language
Norm: to me it’s the easiest
Norm, Nick, and Andy burying any chance of Mangrate staying on as a sponsor - the laughter is so contagious! Funny AF those guys cracking each other up.
Who’s gonna close that casket?
As an european who never understood how can there be people rooting and happy that a murderer is not convicted, I find Norm shitting on OJ Simspon so satisfying. It’s so beautiful.
I'm glad people remember Norm so fondly. He deserves it. He left a lot for us to laugh at.
He’s the greatest and I’ll never forget him
I can't stop watching norm😵💫
The world immediately turned to shit when we lost him. Come back Norm things suck now
Undeniable genius, a legend that will live forever
Man, that was grate. It revolutionized how I watch Norm tribute videos.

@@TheComedyHistorian Thanks for putting together this excellent compilation, I've watched it a few times as it came across my feed
@@DaneOrschlovsky thank you for watching and enjoying man. I’m glad you could appreciate Norm’s legacy the way I have
@@TheComedyHistorian Whenever I need a laugh, classic Norm always does the trick. He's in that bucket of comedians whose legacy should live on long beyond his passing much like Dangerfield and Rickles.
@@DaneOrschlovsky he is. I call him the greatest and I mean it
Norm’s death moved me. Loved this man’s comedy. A true legend.
The face reactions at the ESPYs are priceless. Norm was roasting everyone!
That lady's face at 6:03 is the absolute summation of what Norm Macdonald wanted to achieve in his life and by GOD he did it! RIP you old chunk of coal.
Great compilation of greatest comic of all time. RIP
Norm and john Stewart had a great dynamic it's interesting to see how norm plays into the lefty talk show host in john Stewart and the righty with dennis miller, same with a letterman vs someone like fallon, he just knows his audience so perfectly
Yeah man. Norm put on a masterclass of comedy every single performance.
ummm. Norm hated politics and even more so talking about politics in interviews. He would always say "thats when people stop laughing"....
@@nathanieledwards7150 He did, but he loved Jon Stewart.
@@TheComedyHistorian oh yeah. Who doesn't love Jon Stewart? He's such a real person who's got that naturally funny swing
@@nathanieledwards7150 anyone who panders to their audience is the opposite of Norm.
Larry: "I never learned anything when I was talking"
Norm: "can I interrupt you there"
So simple, but so funny.
Jesus, the man grate bit had me in tears
This is tops, the mangrate ads are awesome 👌 laughed hard as always at Norman's genius
God those are my favorite. I’ll never forget those ads
With the Professor of Logic joke, you could see the punchline coming from a 100 miles away. Yet, it was hysterical because of this old chunk of coal.
A true comic's comic.
I haven't seen ONE comedian tell a bad Norm story or trash the guy...
Even before he died....
There's another hole in comedy that will be felt for many a milenia
Norm you left us without pure dad humor. I'm jealous God gets to have you now.
I forget which comic was telling this story about Norm, but he said that they’d do these series of like 6 or 7 sets. He said that norm would maybe kill for 3 or 4 shows, and the rest he would bomb. He went on to explain that when norm killed, he’d go to the back of the club and play poker and bet and generally hold court. But when he bombed, he went and stood by the exit to say goodnight to the entire crowd as they filed out one by one 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jeff Ross said that on Howie Mandel’s show. Absolutely priceless
@@TheComedyHistorian yes!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Norm's "Mangrate" and Burr's "Shari's Berries"
Are the 2 most funny moments in ads history
It’s the hypocrisy that bothers me... we miss you, Norm
"This was written years ago."
😂😂😂
This tribute is 36 mins long and doesn’t have that many clips from the podcast. This man was an absolute legend, think about the amount of (good) content he has produced.
We were beyond blessed.
There will never be a replacement that suffices. Norm was one of a kind.
Truly
Norm is so good his interview with Andy Dick made me not hate him for an hour
Great compilation, the GOAT
Btw, watched some of your stand up, gs man love to see some young comics. The married couple had me dead
Norm was the GOAT and a huge inspiration to me. I’m going to spread his gospel everywhere I go.
Also thank you for the support my friend. I plan on doing comedy for a long time :)
I miss him so much he can never be replaced. I hope he knew that I really do
I have had the privilege of seening this legend live numerious times! I hope he is telling the moth joke in heaven
I love Norm. Rest easy buddy
I got a chance to hang out with Norm one time but the whole situation was kind of ruined because somebody took his lunch. We were all sitting in a room and his assistant busted in and yelled at us… “Hey! Who ate Norms McDonalds???”
Hahaha
I am guessing it was a Big Mac.
that 's some dad's joke right here
I miss him, he knew so much, he was the entire meaning of life and knew what life was all about, i still can't believe he kept his disease quiet until death itself. Until the last moment he could he wanted people to not be sad and be happy. What a guy.
I saw Norm on my 24th birthday, and I’ll never forget it. What a legend.
Norm forever. I still remember being a kid and seeing his bit about the doberman for the first time. He made me laugh more consistently than anybody else in this world.
Norm Macdonald literally didn't give a fuck when he hosted the ESPYS. That was the definition of legendary.
Jesus I wish I found this guy sooner his humor is so close to mine it's great
Norm is the best
I'm laughing so hard i'm crying.....the one about the old parents in S.F. carrying the sign saying they're proud of their Gay son..
God bless and R.I.P Norm McDonald🙏🏻
This man was unbelievably brilliant. 😂 miss him 😥
Norm and Snoop, Dre, and Eminem. what a lineup.
well to me they were 2 white guys and a couple black fellas
God damn that SNL monologue at the end, that's some savagery. Thanks for this, I'm liking Norm more and more these days, I only know him through YT these last few years. RIP Norm.
You’re very welcome. RIP Norm
How did Norm MacDonald, Bob Sagat, & Robin Williams all go so suddenly?! 3 Legends gone too soon
They saw the writing on the wall. Today’s gatekeepers practice the ABC’s - Anything But Caucasian.
listening to Norm and Larry King talk about being afraid to die is truly sad. Two powerhouse legends of there industry’s. RIP
RIP Norm… and young Conan is freaking me out
He was dying and didn’t tell even his best friends. This man just wanted to make people happy and laugh!!!! That’s amazing
Come back for just one more set Norm.
I’m so happy and lucky that I got to see him perform live at least once in my life before he left this hellish whirling cinder.
That will forever be one of my biggest regrets. I never got to see him live before he died.
@@TheComedyHistorian I hear ya. I got to see him around 2011/2012 (can’t quite remember the exact date off hand) live at the Renaissance Theatre in Mansfield, Ohio and it was amazing!
But I will say It was one of the weirdest tour schedules ever. All of his shows were on either the East and West coasts except for literally one; and that one and only show that wasn’t on the coasts was in Mansfield, Ohio of all places lol
@@Fractal_Head_Jones I wish he would’ve came to Tampa at some point in the last three years. I would’ve bought tickets for all my friends. I’m not making this mistake again.
I’m going to see Daniel Tosh in person later this year because he’s my second favorite comedian. I won’t miss out on another opportunity. You never know when your hero will be tasked.
No one will ever deliver a joke as good again! It takes a real level of genius to not even say funny things but have the whole room laughing. Rip to mine and many others favorites to ever do it! ❤️
Norm, you were pure genius. Your comedy was fearless. This planet was a better place with you in it, and you left it a better place. God bless you.
Remember when comedians could say funny things without getting assaulted on stage or canceled for being offensive? I love and miss Norm!
This is a polished jewel for those of us who have recently found this sadly missed genius.
The courage is astounding. It gets stronger the more I listen.
Him roasting SNL ON SNL is the funniest thing that ever happened in SNL
This guy is just unmatched and unrivaled!
I‘m missing his savage humour. RIP, Norm! 🙏
