you're onto something there. he is an anti-anti-comic. he is self-aware, completely confident, extremely intuitive, empathetic to his audience, and a master of delivery. comedy is almost secondary to his whole presentation, but somehow, it makes the comedy better than anything else out there for how unique it is.

"simultaneously sound like" That's the act. Norm's said most audiences don't like comedians who are smarter than them, so he talks in an ordinary conversational way a lot. He now has about 42 years of standup experience at that. And he dropped out of high school to do jobs like garbage man himself. But now he's one of those guys who own the OED, and he often throws in a subtle point or his literacy or a third layer of absurdist humor*, because he can hardly help it or because a juxtaposition makes his comments funnier. *Everyone likes grapes.

@@MarceloRamos-uk8cd Most people would assume that the doctor told him to perform oral sex on his wife in order to wake her up. It's obviously not something a doctor would actually recommend, but it almost seems like it could possibly work. The punch line shows that Norm thought he was supposed to make his wife (who was in a coma) perform oral sex on him. It's funny because it's a surprise and is also poking fun at Norm himself. It's ridiculous for him to believe this would wake her up, or that it would even be a reasonable thing to do to an unconscious person. It also plays into a common joke that men are selfish and only like to receive oral sex, not give it. Norm also liked to push the boundary of what could be said on Conan's show, and this joke did that as well. As with most Norm jokes, his delivery is what really makes it funny. The joke by itself is just mediocre.
