i just watched 41 minutes of the greatest comedians on earth praise him. but markkennedy9091 from the comment section... now that guy knows comedy better then anyone.
Sadly Joe Rogan kind of disproved Norm there. But I still delight in the fact that he never went on the JRE podcast, even though Rogan said to have been 'trying to get him on for years'. Norm clearly despised that hack and I like to think he never actually planned to go while he kept feeding Rogan with hope that it's gonna happen some day 😂

Cannot hear enough about this legend of a man. To have all of these top of their craft comedians speak so highly and give such high praise is just incredible… Norm is a once in a lifetime talent and was such an incredibly unique personality. Miss him greatly
anytime a Norm joke is told seccond hand, it hits and makes me laugh. every time i hear a story about him its hilarious and brings atear to my eye. truley the deadles gun in the west. long live the tales of the best to ever sling a mic. we live in your shadow eternally
Norm Macdonald and Patrice Oneal are my all time favorite comedians…two very different styles but both highly intelligent and will absolutely make me belly laugh. Rest easy Patreeky and Norm
I'll bet no other comedian has been called a hero more often by other comedians than Norm. In the world of comedy, he truly was one to be looked up to and thought of as a hero. The world is a little darker without Norm in it.
He always has been. That's why he had to go Overly Sexual. People weren't there for Howard, they were there for the Hot Ladies he was coercing into doing sex acts on air (Sybian for example). He leaned even more into the "Hot Female Guest does sex stuff and nudity!" schtick when the show was Televised for awhile. Then, he went Woke finally when the sex gimmick went stale because everyone was doing the same overly sexual stuff.
Norm and Trevor Moore are the only "Celebrity Deaths" that actually effected me. Two of the absolute greats. If there is an afterlife and any type of Justice in the universe, they are watching us and making jokes about us.
@@ickyjuice1952similar cadence but I agree. Marks jokes are generally short compact and based on comparisons and word play where as norms could be All over the place and very abstract
I love all the funny shit he did with Dennis Miller on TV and Radio. He also did fantastic stuff with Tom Green in the early days of internet programs.
Man I miss Norm. I'm sure they're out there, but I've never heard anyone say anything negative about him. Him and Super Dave together were great. Would love to hear what gold those 2 and Patrice would come up with about the world today!
I know. How has last comic standing not released any of that?? I don’t get who decides it wouldn’t be great for the show to use that footage for nearly half the episodes.
Amazing video. My only hope is that Norm knew how beloved he was while he was still alive. It would be a genuine tragedy if he wasn’t aware of how much we all loved him.
I think about a Norm joke probably every day. Today it was the one when he talks about him and his dad seeing an elevator for the first time. But they didn’t know it was an elevator. To them it was a set of magic doors that opened by themselves. Then an old lady in a wheelchair went through the magic doors and the doors closed. Then a beautiful blonde woman walked out of the doors and his dad said “go get your mother!” 😂
Norm was one of the last of a dying pack of lions. This new breed of Rogan-Sphere comedian SUcK$. Salute to you, Normy... I didn't even know you were sick. 🍺🍻
Norm is still the funniest guy around. Not sure why he retired. I know he's had health issues. Just wish netflix would let him put his old youtube shows back on.
This was awesome. Loved it, esp. the Breur and Spade bits. And Norm was always gold on Stern. Didn't need to jeseldick at the end, though. That guy's a pretentious hack.
norm would be appalled at the state of comedy. not many comedians can be that far ahead in every conversation and constantly have a unique joke to display
I hate how Netflix treated him. He had a great podcast and had to stop making content for the Netflix show. I imagine he only did it because he knew his health was declining and wanted to get his kid some more financial security. It wouldn’t have been bad if they didn’t cancel it over him not turning on his friends
26:07 She was referring to Norm playing Bob Dole on The Real World. _"Who stole Bob Dole's peanut butter?"_ It appears the PA/writing partner knew Norm's work better than the daywalker.
No he's not. For proof of how unfunny Norm is, check out his one and only set on a Comedy Central roast.
❤❤❤❤❤NORM
What he did at that roast was absolutely brilliant.
The comedians understood it.

Norm was my favorite comedian. He died on my birthday. I woke up, read the news about what happened and was destroyed. Now on my bday I celebrate norm
Strange day. I got a bunch condolences in text and I’ve never met the man.
I didn't even know it was your birthday
K
That was poetic
What a selfish jerk that norm guy is for dying on your birthday
Dude hell yeah thanks for always keeping up with Norm content. Hope all is well man
Second that.

Not ‘all’ is well… Norm’s *dead…* It was a tragedy. He died, doing what he loved. Living.
I cant get enough of these videos, a little ritual of mine to hear some norm before bed
Currently in “before bed” state 😢
Never gets old…I’ve watched every norm video hundreds of times!
The more I learn about this Norm fella the more I care for him.
Something about his eyes, hypnotic…
My idea of a silver tounged devil.
I could never listen to enough Norm story comps. Thank you for making this!
@@InspireCreate43 glad you loved it man ♥️
GOAT!
I like how Shane Gillis throws in the Janice joke. We know he’s been down the norm rabbit hole!
Rabbit hole? Norm has like 3 specials and that bit was on his most famous one.

Norm - a beautiful deep soul and a brilliant man
Norm was so good that no one could ever replace him except one person. You guessed it, Frank Stallone.
Ok, I admit it. I laughed out loud at that. I read the ending in Norm's voice, of course.
...Or so the Germans would have you believe
"He was kicked out of Nebraska."
"That sounds realistic."

Honestly, when Norm died, how many people said that? I feel like he used that joke as a set up for his own death

Likewise. The man was a comedic genius.
no comedian has been more humble
or more human
or funnier
or intuitive
as Norm
Norm mocking “ The Deathsquad “ on Bobby Lee’s behalf should be common knowledge by now.
anytime a Norm joke is told seccond hand, it hits and makes me laugh.

Damn man, this was sort of beautiful
Artie saying Norm not wanting to make shows because he didn't feel well has a different ring to it now.
It ended with a draw against cancer
I didn’t even know he was sick.
@@mikemoosetoday noone did. He didnt want pepple treating him like a cancer patient. He wanted to continue living an authentic life.
In the end, Norm sacrificed his life to kill that Cancer. He was a Hero.
Reminds me of that tragedy
Santino’s story around 27:00 is awesome. Norm should be sainted.

3:02 jim breuer twitching and tweaking like a harkonnen over here
Is it just me or is breuer like, the opposite of funny
If Norm isn't in your top 3, you dont know enough about comedy. Or life probably.
Never thought I’d enjoy a Jason Nash clip
Worst norm impression in the video though
I'll bet no other comedian has been called a hero more often by other comedians than Norm. In the world of comedy, he truly was one to be looked up to and thought of as a hero. The world is a little darker without Norm in it.

Trevor had so much more to give as well
Thank you so much for this!
For anyone interested, Letterman's channel has a 'Best of Norm MacDonald' video uploaded JUST today.
And best part is, it says that it's Part 1.
Thanks!

Weekend update was my favorite part of SNL since the early 90’s.
Colin Quinn was incredible he should be just under norm
Definitely tracks that Schultz and Co. totally missed Shane's fantastic reference. Complete opposite ends of the Funny/Not Funny spectrum.
Truth. The problem with the "comedy scene" is that the A and AA minor leaguers mingle with the MLB and some people think it's all one league
good call. Along with Rogan
Love Norm best comedian ever !! Class act and should never ever be forgotten!! Class to the end !! ❤
It’s really sad because I love the show Mike Tyson Mysteries and now with Norm gone, we will never get anymore new episodes, RIP Norm
Norm SO bloody funny, his SNL about Oj Simpson..classic stuff and TRUTH too
Well curated and organized.
After having watched all the Norm videos I can find on here, I'm now moving on to videos with people talking about Norm
I've always said comedians tell jokes but Norm was just funny
But I think Theo Von said it best
"It's like we lost a book nobody has a copy of"
4:55 the most Norm way ever to deal with a heckler 😂 fucking brilliant.
I love all the funny shit he did with Dennis Miller on TV and Radio. He also did fantastic stuff with Tom Green in the early days of internet programs.
Rogan has been not getting jokes since time 😂
Jim Breuer doing Norm crying in pain after being kicked, great
Man I miss Norm. I'm sure they're out there, but I've never heard anyone say anything negative about him. Him and Super Dave together were great. Would love to hear what gold those 2 and Patrice would come up with about the world today!
He got accused of sexual assault after his death.
This is awesome, thank you
Would love for someone to release the cut footage of Norm critiquing terrible comics from Last Comic Standing
I know. How has last comic standing not released any of that?? I don’t get who decides it wouldn’t be great for the show to use that footage for nearly half the episodes.
that'd be the single thing of Norm's I haven't watched. We need em
Norm stories and footage is gold. Cheers 🎉🎉🎉
This is so damn good…10 outta 10!
Amazing video. My only hope is that Norm knew how beloved he was while he was still alive. It would be a genuine tragedy if he wasn’t aware of how much we all loved him.
Artie was absolutely cooking in that segment.

All hail all things Norm !
Missing norm so much, thank you for this ❤
great compilation bro! God though Breuer is so shot lol
Dude's career is 90% telling Norm stories in his voice 😂
He was kicked out of Nebraska
That sounds realistic
You missed the socks story with Marc Maron, it's a classic.
