The joke is that the guy reading off the jokes doesn't know what the jokes are before he says them and then Norm gets to pretend to be outraged by them.
Adam and Norm always set bit premises before coming into the studio and then going from there. He talked about it a lot with Shane Gillis on his podcast. Such a great pair!!!
@@kuidaorekitchen5850 You mean Shane Gillis's podcast? I've never seen that, are those videos on youtube where they talk about it? I've seen most Norm videos, but that sounds like a gold mine I haven't discovered yet.
Adam was Norm’s best friend. Norm loved trolling Adam. Norm’s book trolls him even worse! Adam didn’t know Norm had cancer. The day before he died, Norm sent Adam a message saying, “we are starting the Podcast back up & you are getting a huge raise!” That was Norm’s final troll to Adam. At Norm’s funeral, Adam said, “I loved Norm so much, that I’m not even mad at him even though the first thing on my Wikipedia page says, ‘Adam Eget is a holocaust denier.’”
The joke between Norm and Adam is that Norm writes all the stuff that Adam reads, and then Norm acts horrified by what Adam says. The same with the Holocaust stuff, Norm is just putting words into Adam's mouth.
This show was so funny, Norm gave absolutely no shits and Adam was the perfect foil for him. It was all on RUclips but then Netflix commissioned a new series and all the old full episodes were taken down so there’s only clips now I believe.
These clips are all from the norm macdonald live RUclips video podcast. It's my favorite thing that norm did. Most of the episodes have been taken down for obvious reasons. One of the running jokes was that norm would try to convince the guests that his co-host was a Holocaust denier. You can still find it if you know where to look, there are three seasons.
Norm was fearless - that's why he was the GOAT! Nothing was off limits; the twinkle in his eye when he confused people is pure comedy gold & instantly made the situation even more hilarious! R.I.P. my favourite 'deeply closeted' gay man🌈
Adam Eget is the unrecognized hero in all these. Sometimes the guests weren't completely sure that all of it was just trolling/joking, and Adam always played his role and took all the heat. And for the record, Bob Saget could be really dirty. Also, you need to know that the majority of these segments were from his podcast that none of the guests would have seen. So some of the jokes were similar. The point was to make the guest uncomfortable. They almost all knew what Norm was doing, but they were still uncomfortable at laughing.
@@davidoistrash yeah copyright is different. She was saying “the things they are saying are so crazy RUclips will probably erase this video from history” even tho she’s watching the video on RUclips, and it’s been there for 2+ years.
Yeah once upon a time you can say anything on RUclips those older videos are still on RUclips and are allowed but if you react to them you have to be out some of the stuff they say. The list has done nothing but grow of the things they can't say
Norm's podcast was a running segment of Absurdist Comedy but what made Norm special was his deadpan delivery and even when the joke didn't hit he would see it through. Most of the time the Guests understood the inside joke but others were just as bewildered. Obviously Jerry Seinfeld, Roseanne, Tom Green, and Dave Osborne understood his comic genius. Norm first started in standup and was a writer for the Roseanne show. His book follows the same kind of Absurd and crude humor throughout. There is really no one like Norm not afraid to fail. It's probably what kept him from really making it big in Movies where Spades humor is more suited for a wider audience.
Buffalo Bill was from the movie Silence of the Lambs and David Spade noticed that Adam's voice sounds just like the way Buffalo Bill talked. In Joe Dirt 2 (with David Spade) Joe gets captured by a psycho exactly like Buffalo Bill and David got Adam to play the part.
Roseanne said Valerie jarret= Muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby. They cancelled her but if you look at the picture comparison then you'd get it its funny af. Especially her parents a black man and a white woman raised her up in Iran bc they were diplomats there. I get her confusion and tv executive wanted control of her show so they got her and went on a shaming campaign but they never once showed the comparison photo. Also norm was a writer on roseanes original show so they are just really comfortable around each orher.
This is one of the most flawlessly executed running gags/recurring bits of dark humor you will ever see. Both Norm and Adam are in on it. If you notice, while Adam does claim Jewish identity, he never outright denies Norm’s claims of him being a Holocaust denier. Over time Norm continues to do more and more research both into the history of the Holocaust as well as the conspiracy theory of Holocaust denial to continue to have fresh ammo in the chamber for the bit to troll Adam and the guests with.
thats first season of the norm show was an absolut masterpiece … when it was eunning I thought sbout downloading it completely but thought I could come back to it on yt all the time - major mistake. now its nowhere to be found except one or two shows
I highly suspect that that was just Norm's way of telling others that he was aware of the truth behind the incident. The "number in-between", "the shadow", "the guards miraculously not being affected by the gas", and "pictures taken by the Ally aircrafts" are all big giveaways. The three main history books written in the first decade after the war were by Churchill _(The Second World War)_ , De Gaulle _(Memoires De Geurre)_ and Eisenhower _(Crusade in Europe)_ . Between them they contain over 7000 pages (excluding forewards indexes etc). Not one of these history books mentions one word about the "suffering of J people" or the 'Caust.
Buffalo Bill was an American soldier, bison hunter, and showman who died over a hundred years ago. The footage you saw was from The Silence of the Lambs which has a character named Buffalo Bill, but his name came about because the real Buffalo Bill was famous.
There was Inception levels of performance art going on here during tapings of The Norm MacDonald Podcast that varied in degrees or different punk'd strategies depending on the guest of that particular episode. First and foremost, Adam is a co-conspirator. It helps to know that off the bat. At no time is Adam really the true butt of the joke when a guest is on. Norm and Adam are a comedy grifters two man team. Like all con men, they have several schemes in their arsenal at their disposal at the ready and usually at play in motion depending on the mark. The guest is the mark. That's the focal point of their comedic sting operation on the surface at a micro level. On a macro level big picture, the greater con being pulled and ultimate mark is on the audience. All of us. Your immediate confusion and being put on the back foot is the appropriate response as any reasonable person wouldn't know the Andy Koffman level of method comedy art is being attempted and pulled off before their very eyes. There's a lot of moving parts and wheels within wheels at work going on to pull this ruse in real time of their tapings off. The crew off-camera are in on the joke too with Norm and Adam, but it's not that simple either. Because when they laugh off-camera, it depends how and what they are actually at or for. Meaning, they know the awkward interview interactions between Norm, Adam and Guest is all an act, a shell game to get the guest to take a stand or pick a side on a subject matter that is a societal hot button issue considered off limits for talk show going out for public consumption. So, the crew will laugh sometimes at the audacity of how far Norm and Adam will go to set up the guest, reaching insane levels of cringe. Other times, they are laughing themselves stupid because they got the guest to take the bait and genuinely get worked up or be exposed for controversial stands otherwise you'd never know. Nobody is safe. The David Spade episode is particularly insane for the fact he and Norm worked together on SNL in their early days yet he got it the worst. He showed up disheveled in a hat told they'd clean him up in makeup. First thing he finds out when he gets there, they don't have a makeup department. That's troll act number one. So, they sit around shooting the shit for twenty minutes on set till Spade finally asks when they going to start the show. And brutally that's when he finds out they've been rolling the whole time and conversations he thought we're private between the three of them are now recorded and going out to the world. Troll number two. The last one Spade got roped into was believing and buying into the con laid out that Adam is genuinely that way, really awkward and saying cringe things accidentally became he's that ill at ease and moronic by nature. Spade thinks this is on the level and just how the guy is and Norm hired this amateur hour hack punching bag so David's roasts are real on Adam. Not realizing this too is also all an elaborate act and great big con job. Adam's entire persona on the podcast the moment he sets foot in the studio, he is in character playing the part that we all saw. 100% total comedy performance. Playing a very committed straight man bit to lower the guests guard to take the early hits and put downs to lull the guests into thinking they couldn't look as bad as that guy. Once you know all that stumbling band stammering Adam does and stupid misunderstandings he gets into, responding with equally inane left field observations, is all part of his brilliance and he is masterful. When you rewatch segments after knowing the truth that Adam is a complete manufactured character he has made up playing the part and playing us the audience, you instantly marvel how he keeps a straight face and maintain the deception with an unwavering commitment and poker face. There's more to unpack but my hands from typing are exhausted. The whole show is a sham and lie within a lie. David Letterman was the one guest who saw right through the bs immediately and amazingly turned the tables on both of them, and started trolling Norm and Adam. This caused them both and off camera crew to genuinely laugh which is different from their other cracking up footage because it's coming from a place of truth. Dave just announced he's not coming back, Norm, waves to the non existent audience and walks off. It's pretty freaking epic. Super Dave Osbourne was in the first pilot test episode and the one who comes unglued at the things they are doing, asking, saying. He absolutely was 100% in on the whole thing and only guest that ever was. He had to help sell the concept to the corporate people to go forward with this meta podcast gimmick that was all one big in-joke gimmick that the majority of people wouldnt ever really get fully let alone at all.
To understand Norm you have to get that Norm delighted in putting his had on the third rail and then watching people short circuit. I just love when it when Norm pokes Adam by inferring that he's gay then when Adam complains Norm says "It's not an insult, they're just like you and me." What a button pusher!
The best thing ever with Norm is his Live podcast and the first episode of it with Super Dave Osbourne. It's so goooooooood!!!! There are some clips from that on RUclips. I think that would be a great material to react to. Same with Andy Dick (episode 10 I think)
The best part is that Norm clearly researched Holocaust denial talking points about the smokestacks and everything just to have specific things to accuse Adam of saying.
Awesome vid! I think you would also like Norm losing his sponsers for this show! There is a video about this on the same channel if i'm not mistaken. Keep it up!
It's ball busting. Normal guys (non-millennial/non-gen-Z) bust each other's balls for fun. The insults between friends would melt a millennial, send a Gen-Z into vapour lock, and make a boomer cry. That's what we do.
This is peak Norm Trolling, and it's glorious. I'm still upset that you can't seem to watch Norm Macdonald Live anywhere. Put 'em on DVDs I'll buy them!
If you want to see another example of Norm repeatedly using one guy as a foil for his humor, check out Norm McDonald and Andy Richter on the Conan O’Brien Show.
Yeah he did that with Andy, I think the Swedish German was one of my favorites of them though. I'm just never sure on what ethnicity he used for the joke lol
Norm was wrinkling his nose at Adam, he was trolling him by saying that Adam called the movie Shoah a "Fantasy." Shoah is about the holocaust (Treblinka was a concentration camp). More Norm trolling in Norm style, he says that and wrinkles his nose and pauses, looking at Adam in silence to put the spotlight and discomfort on him, so he has to deny it lol.
I remember Bob Saget uploaded a little podcast right after Norm unexpectedly passed. He cried, and told stories about Norm and how much he loved him and that he knew nothing of his illness. Then just a couple of months later Bob Saget unexpectedly passed.. It's crazy to think about that podcast, thinking about how none of us, including Bob, knew that he would follow so soon. And just as shockingly unexpected.. It's sad. But I'm sure Norm would've made jokes and rip on him about it.
You might find this bewildering, but I find this compilation to be one of the funniest things on RUclips. The recurring "Adam is an antisemite and holocaust denier" bit was hilarious.
You should watch the roast of Bob saget. Bob invited Norm because they're really good friends. At first Norm told him no because he refused to say anything bad about Bob saget. I'm not going to give anything away but you should definitely watch what Norm says during that roast
The guy is Adam Eget , Norm wrote a book and keeps saying g Adam is a closeted gay man in the book. And every one of these guests are comics you can't offend a real comic they know it's all a bit. These guys loved Norm
Norm is pure evil throughout the podcast. The whole thing is a joke about how clean late-night chat shows are. Instead of making the guests feel at home Norm ambushes them with jokes about 9/11 and asks ridiculous questions pretending they’re gotcha questions. The whole thing is utter chaos and a great way to waste away peacefully
The overarching bit is that Norm has ppl read jokes off the cue cards & he writes terrible jokes to have ppl on video making terrible jokes. Adam Eget serve as his most commonly used foil for this bit where he just says horrible things & pretends Adam Eget said it. That was Tom Green Jash was a short lived media company made up of several producers and comics that never really took off. The bird is Gilbert Gottfried
Adam played Norm’s nearly-literal punching bag/straight-man on this series. Norm is a true comedian and Adam is a comedy club manager/booker, but not a comedian nor trained for acting. Bar mitzvah is the male tradition; bat mitzvah is the female tradition. Jash is the name of the comedy collective that was around at the time. The dark comedy is about all the conspiracy theories of deniers… not super funny, but a dark way of casting Adam as a denier and provoking the guests.
There isn't any truth to the Adam revisionist joke. What's happening is Adam isn't allowed to directly contradict any of Norms accusations so that Adam lookes like he doesn't want to completely deny it. It's the situation that Norm likes to get people trapped in
A bar mitzvah is for boys and bat mitzvah is for. If you didn’t know, this can be done with more than one person and that’s called a B’nai mitzvah. I had to wait a year to have a B’nai mitzvah with my sister because my mother was a poor Jew. I know it’s hard to believe a Jew can even be poor in the first place, but not as difficult as believing that the Germans in the 1940’s were actually capable of wiping out over six million people off of the face of the earth 😂
The joke is that the guy reading off the jokes doesn't know what the jokes are before he says them and then Norm gets to pretend to be outraged by them.
That, and Norm probably wrote ALL the jokes
This is a bit. Kk5553 is correct. Norm writes all the jokes.

@@kittenklub1964he’s not gay, how could he be gay when he’s deeply closeted?

I think Egret does pretend, but there is also some stage fright.
@@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 yeah for sure, it factors in perfectly

Blood and bone deep

@@mattschliemann9683, that was one of them. Norm had a running gag where he picked on Andy for the punchline for a few years.
Yeah he did that with Andy, I think the Swedish German was one of my favorites of them though. I'm just never sure on what ethnicity he used for the joke lol
Norm was wrinkling his nose at Adam, he was trolling him by saying that Adam called the movie Shoah a "Fantasy." Shoah is about the holocaust (Treblinka was a concentration camp). More Norm trolling in Norm style, he says that and wrinkles his nose and pauses, looking at Adam in silence to put the spotlight and discomfort on him, so he has to deny it lol.
C-note = Century note = $100 bill (for 100 years in a century)
from the latin word for 100, centum
Adam knew his beginning was fucked up so he appreciated Norm helped him shape his game. Norm affected people
I think you need to watch silence of lambs
I remember Bob Saget uploaded a little podcast right after Norm unexpectedly passed. He cried, and told stories about Norm and how much he loved him and that he knew nothing of his illness.
Then just a couple of months later Bob Saget unexpectedly passed.. It's crazy to think about that podcast, thinking about how none of us, including Bob, knew that he would follow so soon. And just as shockingly unexpected.. It's sad.
But I'm sure Norm would've made jokes and rip on him about it.
It's a competition! Who can say the most offensive shit and not be canceled!!!
Tom Green
you gotta watch norm on the dennis miller show talking about smoking. one of his funniest interviews
Adam was the perfect sidekick
Norm and the rest of the crew would write the most offensive jokes they could think of.
Oh my god this was sooooo awesome.
How guys talk when they don't think women are listening
Not only is this sarcasm but Norm wrote/concocted each premise. His cohost plays the rube, willingly. JP
The thing about Norm is that he made jokes like that way more because of people like you, than because of us, who get it.. ;D
4:50 "Is Seinfeld jewish?"
Young lady, Seinfeld is THE Jew.
You might find this bewildering, but I find this compilation to be one of the funniest things on RUclips. The recurring "Adam is an antisemite and holocaust denier" bit was hilarious.
You should watch the roast of Bob saget. Bob invited Norm because they're really good friends. At first Norm told him no because he refused to say anything bad about Bob saget. I'm not going to give anything away but you should definitely watch what Norm says during that roast
The guy is Adam Eget , Norm wrote a book and keeps saying g Adam is a closeted gay man in the book. And every one of these guests are comics you can't offend a real comic they know it's all a bit. These guys loved Norm
It's comedy, it can't go too far, it can only be funny or not funny.
We're 5:00 in and you missed almost all of the jokes
Just just loves to hear her voice.
Norm is pure evil throughout the podcast. The whole thing is a joke about how clean late-night chat shows are. Instead of making the guests feel at home Norm ambushes them with jokes about 9/11 and asks ridiculous questions pretending they’re gotcha questions. The whole thing is utter chaos and a great way to waste away peacefully
Norm's just teasing his co-host, making him the butt of the joke to higher profiled guests to see how they'll react.
The overarching bit is that Norm has ppl read jokes off the cue cards & he writes terrible jokes to have ppl on video making terrible jokes. Adam Eget serve as his most commonly used foil for this bit where he just says horrible things & pretends Adam Eget said it.
That was Tom Green
Jash was a short lived media company made up of several producers and comics that never really took off.
The bird is Gilbert Gottfried
Adam played Norm’s nearly-literal punching bag/straight-man on this series. Norm is a true comedian and Adam is a comedy club manager/booker, but not a comedian nor trained for acting. Bar mitzvah is the male tradition; bat mitzvah is the female tradition. Jash is the name of the comedy collective that was around at the time. The dark comedy is about all the conspiracy theories of deniers… not super funny, but a dark way of casting Adam as a denier and provoking the guests.
Some of us Gen X Jews laugh our asses off at Norm but if we played this for our parents or grandparents they’d have a fucking heart attack!
There isn't any truth to the Adam revisionist joke. What's happening is Adam isn't allowed to directly contradict any of Norms accusations so that Adam lookes like he doesn't want to completely deny it. It's the situation that Norm likes to get people trapped in
Tom Green was momentarily married to Drew Barrymore.
Sometimes your pauses are at the worst time!! 😭 first segment “I love gay people” “….yeah I know”
A bar mitzvah is for boys and bat mitzvah is for. If you didn’t know, this can be done with more than one person and that’s called a B’nai mitzvah.
I had to wait a year to have a B’nai mitzvah with my sister because my mother was a poor Jew. I know it’s hard to believe a Jew can even be poor in the first place, but not as difficult as believing that the Germans in the 1940’s were actually capable of wiping out over six million people off of the face of the earth 😂
This is so good
