    We reinforced two valuable lessons today:
    1. Norm has been and always will be a legend among comedians.
    2. The View has been and always will be hosted by a flock of insufferable harpies.

    Norm MacDonald going on The View and calling Bill Clinton a murderer on national TV was nothing short of legendary. Also the fact that his bosses at SNL and the heads of the network it aired on told him to lay off on the OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson jokes, then he went out there on Weekend Update and doubled down on the jokes they just told him not to tell, which ended up getting him fired, was just epic. Though most people will know him because of his many hilarious Letterman and Conan Late Night appearances, my personal favorite Norm moment was during the roast of Bob Saget. They wanted Norm to go out there and be really raunchy and vulgar and drag Saget through the mud like everyone else. Norm said he didn’t want to do that because Bob was his friend, so he went out there and told some old corny dad humor jokes from like a 1950s joke book and bombed on purpose. The crowd was confused and the awkward silence was deafening, and the entire time Norm was relishing in it grinning from ear to ear. To go out there and intentionally do bad in front of a crowd of people and a group of your fellow comedians has to be the bravest thing I’ve ever seen a comic do. Greatest comedian to ever live in my opinion. Glad to see people still keeping his memory alive to this day. 🙌

    My favorite Norm MacDonald joke was one he did on Weekend Update. The bit goes as follows (paraphrased): "This week, Yassai Arafat and wife, Suha, announced that in six months they will be welcoming a brand new baby. When asked if they were hoping for a boy or girl, the couple replied, 'either one is fine, just as long as it hates Jews'."

    More of these, please, Michael. 12 Minute Joke is the best joke I have ever seen performed or written. It is an unmitigated masterpiece. I have loved it a long time but right after Norm died I watched it over and over looking for one spot or blemish in the timing, one line that could have been edited out to make it better in the written word. I still haven't found it. From both a performance and written perspective it is the perfect joke and it is sustained for 12 minutes.

    The woman joke (with the percentages not adding to 100) is one of Norm's best. The first punchline makes you laugh even though you know you shouldn't. Then the second punchline turns the first punchline upside down and inside out, making you laugh even more. Then the graphic moves on to the next joke, so that you're sure the joke must be over, and then Norm suddenly pulls the rug out from under you with the third punchline. After you're finished laughing, you have to wonder how someone could write and deliver such a perfect joke.

Afterwards it cuts to them and Norm chimes in saying, "it actually looks... easy." And I lost it.

I surprised her with the tickets one morning before I left for work, and only a few hours later the news broke that Norm had passed. He was our favorite. With his boyish look, and disarming smile, he could tell the most insulting joke and it would come off as charming. The world was a better place with him in it.

He is/was the best to ever do it. If you have to prescribe to a tribe in order to like something great or define your personality, you are missing the point of Norm's comedy. If you only like Norm because you see him as someone who is "conservative" and "roasts the libs", you are missing the point.
      Your, and Logan's, prefrontal cortex, may still have yet to develop fully if you don't see the idiocy in both sides and the...hypocrisy...in ascribing by tribal politics, tribal thinking, and self-segregating along politically tribal lines. Everyone is an idiot, myself included. 99.98%+ of all humanity have been barely functioning proto-tards.

    To have a correspondence like that with Norm must have been so awesome.

Penpals aren't really a thing anymore but it should be because it's such a good way to communicate given that you get time to figure out what you're going to say and even edit it before the other person ever sees it or reads it. I like you more knowing that you and Norm had that relationship.
