The best thing about how Norm went about his cancer, isn't that he told no one, which is bad ass, but he made himself laugh knowing unwittingly friends were apart of the joke. Fucking legend.
99% sure I heard someone close to him state that he was very positive about his upcoming procedure/treatment. The curse of Norm MacDonald Live Strikes again!
I loved Norm's calls to Dennis Miller where he would do this feigned ventriloquist act. Dennis would always bring up his crotchety old dummy, asking how that was going and Norm would always protest about being asked to "take him out of the bag". Old Alec Magerison or some such name as I recall. Norm would always say he didn't like working with that dummy because the dummy was a holocaust denier. Nobody could extract funny out of absurdity like Norm!
Agreed! Look at her first round of yapping. Mark starts rubbing his face out of awkward annoyance. Collin gives a fake laugh. And Sam looks into the Abyss. She was the worst guess I have ever heard.
Love the Norm talk. I’m such a huge fan of his I could listen to a Norm fest for hours. Nobody ever made me laugh the way he did. One of the greats. Such a loss. He had more to give. RIP Norm 🙏🏼 💔
This was one of the sadder tributes to Norm. Only Colin knew him and the other three prove that they were only minor fans and don't know what they're talking about
1:10 I agree with Mark on this one. I think when death is that close, you are not really thinking about pranks. You would be thinking more about deceiving yourself into believing that everything will be fine. But with Norm, you really never know. :D He made so many jokes about death and mortality, he may really meant this as a prank.
In the past, he has said he doesn’t like doing podcasts, but he has been in comedy forever, and has good stories & anecdotes. Recently, he’s made the rounds, and in the right setting (like this one), we get to hear some great conversations about the environment business. He also seems to be down to earth, and just a normal dude. His reluctance to over share, or even consider himself a celebrity, is why he’s held in high regard by other comics, and the fans of this type of content.
If you enjoyed this I’d recommend listening to Colin’s appearances on Opie and Anthony. He kills with Norton and Patrice. There’s even an episode with Colin and Norm on O and A although it’s pretty short (like half an hour)
@@Frank7489 Thanks for the recommendations. Luckily, we get to revisit some of those great guest appearances, especially the comics they had on regularly. A lot of hilarious conversations that went with them just being themselves. I’m from Baltimore, and during those prime O&A years, I was listening to Don & Mike. I only knew about O&A from the minor beef those shows had. Several years ago, and especially during the pandemic, I started listening to the O&A stuff on yt. Not sure if I’ve already heard the Quinn episodes, but I’ll check them out.
I think Adam Eget told a story on Matt and Shane's podcast that Norm went to Bob Dylan's house one night and they stayed up all night talking. Really makes you wonder if the guy had a doghouse.
Norm has so many hilarious legendary moments however my all time fav has gota be when he got kicked out of the state by the gov for a lude set in front of school kids and the elderly LOL that story just kills me how totally outraged everyone was and he couldnt give a flying fuck as usual haha
I think he was fully aware it was a possibility, that's why he recorded that last "special" beforehand at his own house to get it on video in case he didn't make it.
@@mvprime8 well I had tickets to see him the month after he passed he had a few shows in the northeast booked but I think he always knew there was a possibility since he battled illness for so long
1:56 Andy Samberg basically did the same thing when he was on a roast. Norm went old school and cheesy and bombed for fun until the audience went along for the ride. Andy went super nice and cheesy and bombed for fun until the audience went along for the ride.
Other comedians who would do that kind of thing: * Andy Kaufman * Harland Williams Look for comedians who have an unrelenting nature that they don’t conform to the expectations of an audience. Comedians who would basically bomb for fun. Comedian who go WAY too far on a bit. I’m sure I’m missing some who else?
@@federicobenavides7107 Sure. According to Bob (his friend and post roast interviews of this are online), Norm just didn't want to do the roast. So, he didn't really participate. He told jokes from an old joke book from the 1940s. People keep calling it brilliant. It was different. At the end of the day, he's still there to entertain. From what Bob said they had to cut a LOT of it out because it almost every joke was bombing. Is it brilliant to intentionally bomb? I don't think so (maybe if you're making a specific point). Is it brilliant to retell someone else's jokes? Definitely not. Is it interesting to use a totally different approach? For sure. What he did was definitely interesting. Comics liked it more than the audience. I think there's something to that.
Norm was The Best.Nuff Said.If you're too dumb to understand the commitment required to do what he did,your loss!Go watch fluffy. Gonna see Sam in 2 weeks.1st time,psyched!
Norm. I loved him from the 90s when he was just basically an unknown quirky guy. He was truly something else! . We all blow smoke up the ass of the dead but norm was truly a brilliant human being
I bet he wanted to do those gigs though, if he said yes he probably wanted to do it. It was probably more of a sweet kind thing to them individually to want to hang out with them even though he knew he didnt have long, just my take
![Gunna - HIM ALL ALONG [Official Visualizer]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HiCxoDeo0hc/mqdefault.jpg)
Setting up gigs just to die a month later absolutely sounds like something Norm would do.
The best thing about how Norm went about his cancer, isn't that he told no one, which is bad ass, but he made himself laugh knowing unwittingly friends were apart of the joke. Fucking legend.
I can feel this woman's posture 😅
It's like she's halfway to sliding onto the floor. Or holding in a fart.

My guy Rusty? He's made of wood.
The bounty hunter call is another classic. The way he was able to riff like that was sublime.
@@JamoonXerxesSauber For sure! "Are his bounty hunting days over?"
He’s a virulent anti-Semite!
He wasn't racist, just ignorant.
first time i've ever seen someone stand while sitting
"At least we still have Fluffy"😆!
483 dollars, and 5 cents. “Who paid the 5 cents?” Every one of them!
Funny how his friends and big comedians still dig out all the Norm stuff on RUclips just like the rest of us.
They should make Norm's eyes move on the pic every once in a while to freak out the guests. Radio controlled servo motor, get on it Jaimo.
I didn't know he was producer over here. I'd be surprised to learn he doesn't any other shows.
@@johnnypottseed He's not, but Mark always says Jaimo to imitate Rogan.
Norm's mother Fern lived in a condo Norm bought for her in the same complex. He definitely did not live in a one bedroom condo with his mother.
Love a comedian that knows next to nothing about Norm. Clearly a huge comedy fan.
that woman missed the show booking joke entirely, also Sam's face when she starts yappin is priceless
Agreed! Look at her first round of yapping. Mark starts rubbing his face out of awkward annoyance. Collin gives a fake laugh. And Sam looks into the Abyss. She was the worst guess I have ever heard.
Sam and Rachel are close friends
If ever Harvey Keitel wants to know where his vocal chords went, I think we found them.
more norm stories whoop whoop
You don't belong here if you're into ICP. Whoop whoop!
@@hurleyinc686 i’m just gonna keep enjoying norm you keep enjoy being salty 🫡
Do people even say that anymore? Whoop whoop!
@@hurleyinc686yeah, thanks, hurleyinc686, like anyone’s gonna fuckin listen to you
The lady clearly did not watch or enjoy Normie, but still wanted to give her opinions on the matter.
Fuck me…4 seconds into the video and I had a feeling she wasn’t just there to look good and be quiet. Why the hell is she there?!
Keen observation! One thing is for sure!! Norm would have HATED this chick.. something about wannabe funny women brought the best out of Norm..
You're an asshole, that's rachel Feinstein, well respected comic.
Trying to do Norm's "AHHHH" is annoying
@@seanmurphy26Rachel is funny as hell. You just hate female comedians.
HEAVY DUTY GRILLING GRATES

They literally skipped the punchline of the whole joke on dennis miller show!
Which one ? He was on there probably 20 hrs of material
This was one of the sadder tributes to Norm. Only Colin knew him and the other three prove that they were only minor fans and don't know what they're talking about
It's amazing Colin can remember anything at his age.
He's not old enough for that to be funny.
@@AroundTheWorldWithEaseLol..65 ? yeah..true
Ever heard of Rickles?
Huh? Not even close. What sort of nonsense are you trying spit out?
@@AroundTheWorldWithEase I'm just kidding guys I love Colin lol

But with Norm, you really never know. :D He made so many jokes about death and mortality, he may really meant this as a prank.
Wait, Swardson has the same exact story. Was Norm trying to fool all his friends into moving to Vegas for the fall?
Haha definitely. Pretty sure Spade was invited too
Swardson’s story involved Reno, I believe.
so now i love colin quinn

Go check out the Robert kelly and sometimes colin quinn podcast from many years ago. Peak colin. Depressed and angry just trolling his friend.

I've heard Nick Swardson tell this story but it's the first I've heard Colin say Norm asked him to do Vegas with him
Norm: "Sarah Silverman - hysterical. Who's funnier than her? Except dudes, but..."
Funny how much colin turns into your granda when they pointed at Norm Macdonalds picture 😂
She also does this dumb thing called talking over everyone 😂
A Toronto article stated that Norm was expecting to recover from cancer, but died from an unexpected infection.
I remember him too
Why would they skip one of the better parts of that interview with norm ?
They skipped right as he was about to say the joke they were talking about lmao
I see a new norm story and I can’t click on it fast enough
Collin looks like a wise owl that’s a teacher
Why is that chick there...?
right, just pretending as though she knew norm and understood him, shes a nobody
for diversity lol
With those three guys in the room, why did the lady feel she was the only person with something to say?
He didn't even know he was sick!
Me clicking the video:
😁😄😎👍
When the video began:
🤦♂️🤬🚫🤷🏼♀️
I like Mark, can't watch either of his podcasts anymore in full episodes....I went to gay conversion therapy.
I'm old enough to remember when my friends used to shit on Norm back in the 90s. They've all come full circle, and I win. What a guy.
had tickets to norms show at foxwoods he died like 2 days before the show, so he was serious about the gigs at casinos
He was probably trolling you too
Norm's a Canadian legend.
take a shot every time this lady says “comic” or “comedian”
It kills me that they just skipped one of Norm's best unexpected digs at Spade by probably just seconds
Norm loved Bob Dylan, thats why his son is named Dylan
He did it because he was Norm. The punchline was that he knew he wouldn't do those shows.
Norm has so many hilarious legendary moments however my all time fav has gota be when he got kicked out of the state by the gov for a lude set in front of school kids and the elderly LOL that story just kills me how totally outraged everyone was and he couldnt give a flying fuck as usual haha
Norm is the best argument against Ottawa being a boring city... and he left as soon as he could. 😂
R.I.P.
Norm was a singular comic he was the comics comic.
7:25 He and his mom had condo's in the same complex. I don't think they lived together in a one bedroom.
jesus, the worst googler of THE world just skipped the norm punchline about viagra
The female bert kreischer
Norm didn’t know he was gonna die in that operation he got an infection and didn’t make it out but he had been battling for years
I actually didn’t know this I never found out the exact details
I think he was fully aware it was a possibility, that's why he recorded that last "special" beforehand at his own house to get it on video in case he didn't make it.

They watch the whole set up and skip it just before he brings it back to Spade!

One comment for market Normand
There is no way it wasn't a troll!
Idiot engineer skipped over the part everyone was waiting for on the Spade video.
Is this lady standing or sitting??
2:10 “there’s something so foul about a woman just holding up her rock”
God damn that’s a great line
One for the algorithm
This must be a new CQ episode? Fuckin A
RIP Norm.
LOL, Nick Swardson told Theo Von he said something similar to him.
Such a Norm thing. Lets book shows and not even show up. Perfect joke. Cant be showing up. Coz im dead.

In norms case they were blowing smoke up his ass way before he died. RUclips bought a new audience and appreciation of his genius
Brave & fearless yes, amazing, Makes you think: if you had a 1 month to live, how would you live your life?...
Where has imnotnorm been
3 comedians and some chick
Why she sitting like that? Lol
I bet he wanted to do those gigs though, if he said yes he probably wanted to do it. It was probably more of a sweet kind thing to them individually to want to hang out with them even though he knew he didnt have long, just my take
Nick Swardson said something about Norm asking if he wanted to move to AZ and work the clubs there.
I liked the woman. She contributed a lot. Her posture was fine. Why not be comfortable?
podcasting is in a dire state
who the fuck is this ladyyyyyyyyyy - Bill Burr
Producer gotta know that clip…. 😬
Why did they skip ahead like 5 seconds before Norm talked about spade, wtf.
Like his Cosby joke about his dad….
So bad that this girl's on the show with Colin.She won't let him speak.
Lol mark fake laughing at the girl comedian.
She has just enough vocal fry for me to stop watching
