      And I’ll bet that was ad lib.

Same as the “sheer tyranny of will”. Thought up on the spot and amused himself.

    I know that you didn't mean to imply otherwise, but I'll just add to the perspective this: If you can't joke about dark stuff, you're left with toothless, unchallenging banana peel satire where everybody just laughs at the same ol' schtick. "Oh look! The silly guy fell over the silly banana peel in a silly way once again! HAHAHA! That gets me every time!" Fart jokes.
    The difference here is that on top of being funny, it becomes actually interesting as well! And THAT is what quality comedy is. The ability to keep two parallel mindsets going at once: One is the emotional and horrific substance of the story he's imagining, and the other is the practical, matter-of-fact way of proving serial killers to be too stupid for even their own chosen craft 🙂

    Hi Maddy. You seem like such a good egg and Norm blessed us so much that I feel it my duty to give you context for him so you can fully appreciate him. If you've only ever seen this bit of his and worse, if you take what he says literally; you'll very much come away with a wrong understanding of him and his comedy. For example, in an interview once, someone asked him what quality he most valued and wished he showed more of and he said, kindness. If you see more of his work, you'll come to see that. Some of his jokes come off as cruel, but the intent is 100% to just be funny and not to hurt others.
    There are a LOT of facets to his comedy that are brilliant and you actually hit on one of them at 6:38 when you said, "This is hilarious that he's dissecting this..." One of the brilliant things Norm does is take an idea or an experience that we all just take for granted and maybe even take for truth, and deconstruct it so completely, down to its most basic components that the ridiculousness of it is laid bare for all to see.
    Another thing he's a master at is, as you said, storytelling. Even though it LOOKS like he's stumbling along through the story, he knows exactly where he's taking it. The story that takes you there has lots of little punchlines or funny things, but the big one is at the end. However, because he took you on this really long journey, he has distracted you from where it's going to land, so that when it does, it takes you by surprise. In this case, he early on talks about how these supposed evil geniuses seem to always bury their victims in shallow graves. At the end, as a counterpoint to that, he hits you with how he would bury them in a very, very, VERY deep grave. What's funny is NOT the theme! Norm would recoil at the thought of someone that harbored such darkness in their soul. What's funny is the surprise ending!
    This brings me to another brilliance of his. Norm doesn't encourage this kind of evil, nor is he trying to give anyone a template at how to succeed at it. Once again, the theme is not what is funny about his humor. What is funny is how ridiculously ABSURD the theme is, or that Norm would talk about it so nonchalantly. It is the ridiculous absurdity that is at the center of what's funny here.
    Lastly, not that this is the only other great quality of Norm's but one I really enjoy, is that he plays the "every man" and even pretends like he's almost a simpleton. He's anything but. I've heard many people say that he voraciously read Russian literature and that he was a mathematical genius. He has always seemed to me to come off as unassuming.
    To get a full understanding of Norm, I would encourage you to think of the person you know in your personal life that shows others love and kindness more than anyone else you know. Now imagine that person telling this story. With your friend or family member, that you're thinking of you have the advantage, however, of knowing them well enough to know that they would never ever condone the behavior talked about in this story. You know them so well, that you would know that the only intent is to tell something so absurd, and to tell it well enough that the story hides the punchline until you hear it at the end, and finally, that they are about deconstructing accepted concepts in order to expose them... but in a funny way, with the end result that the only intent is just to make others laugh at the ridiculous things around us. That's Norm to a 'T'. As much as he makes me laugh, knowing his mischievousness and his kindness, he makes me smile.

    I have a very different opinion about the end of the joke. Yes, it may well shock us, but I have the feeling that it might make rapers, torturers, serialkillers feel very very small and unimportant. Thus, the dark end might even save lives.

    Norm's funny. When he leads Conan on for several minutes, it's hilarious. But my favorite if Norm's Biil Cosby hypocrisy joke.

    Hi Maddy, I prefer this background to the new one with the heart, this has more depth and warmth to it. Also, for your new microphone you need what's called a "pop filter". Cheers, J.
