When did Norm not smile??? He was smiling even after getting fired from SNL News Weekend.

Yes exactly this Squiddy! I’ve pointed this out as well. That little chuckle right before he drops the punchline. Perfect.

This is comedy in its purest form. Highlighting reality with jokes and let the world pick up whatever's left and do whatever tf they want with it. Jerry looks concerned in a couple shots there, and I don't think it's because of the jokes but because this was a secret in Hollywood at the time and Norm wanted to air it all out. Nobody wanted to play ball with him so nothing but jokes was left of it all back then. Cosby's sentencing and handling of the case is still a fucking joke, just no one laughing at the punchline anymore

When I read Rest In Peace Norm I remembered I almost forgot 😢

I love how Norm often couldn't stop himself smiling before the punchline. Not a over rehearsed technician, you could see he was doing it because it made him laugh in the moment.

I didn’t even know he was sick

What a legend indeed

@@steveneccles Lmao the reference

Congratulations on your tie

I know, reminds me of that one tragedy…

Broke my heart when I heard the news, RIP Norm, he was a legend

We all know it wasnt cancer. OJ did it

indeed!

RIP Norm. You were awesome!

Norm didn't lose a battle with cancer. It was a draw. R.I.P. Norm. You were hilarious. Thanks.

Norm would've made an excellent joke out of all this.

I’m sure he did…🤔🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😳😉😵‍💫😵

God is a real jerk.

Life is very unfair. Norm was the best.

@@Stuart267 basement dwellers 😂😂

Seinfeld met a 17 year old girl, 'not-dated' her for a year, then dated her while she was still in high school and he was 39. You could tell he was shook when Norm went down that route, he's biding his time.

I thought it was the joking

Seinfeld defended Cosby on Colbert or one of those shows saying he'll still find Cosby funny even after all the horrible stuff came out.

@@bosmith1820 you can't control what you find funny it doesn't mean Cosby shouldn't be in jail or that Seinfeld support him because of that

@@lgporra Never said it did.

@@bosmith1820 I agree with him, sometimes you just seperate the stage personality from the private person. It's like when something unrealistic happens in movies we ignore it for the sake of staying immersed.

@@bosmith1820 but you did say Seinfeld defended Cosby, which he did not. The second part of your comment was true but the first was false.

Making fun of Patton Oswalt and the liberal PC community is hilarious. [Liberals] Stating they were more outraged by the hypocrisy than the act! It is so absurd it is laughable.

I like how Jerry nudges him at the end like "omfg Norm, this is supposed to be a cozy little show, reel it back a little"

It's all in the delivery. And he is a master at that.

@@knpstrr Quit with the political circlejerk bullshit. No one cares.

​@@KalCounty You obviously care.

That's the great thing. Comedians usually see the joke coming. The fact Seinfeld is taken by surprise is half the achievement.

Well Seinfeld was in a documentary that painted Cosby as a god-like figure. “Comedian” from like 2000

And it was so weird that a lot of people were shocked, but not in the way they expected

@@spencermiller4661 It took the audience a bit to figure out what he was doing, but once they did, they loved it.

My favorite part of that bit was the aftermath. A few comedians in the crowd like Gottfried knew instantly what was going on and were immediately laughing so hard you could see they had trouble breathing. Then afterwards, there were other "comedians" in that crowd like Jim Norton who were saying Norm absolutely bombed. Norm always wanted to make himself laugh more than any other thing, and the rest of us were just along for the ride.

Steve Martin. Andy Kaufman. Norm Macdonald. There's only a select few geniuses who could get up on stage and be truly terrible and brilliant at the same time.

@@ozpin8329 there's a reason many people have referred to Norm as "the Comedians' Comedian".

I like when Tracy Morgan asks Jerry “Do you remember Kramer from Seinfeld?”

The second funniest- “SHE WAS A HOOKAH!!”

Gervais' holocaust joke is on the same level

And Alec Baldwin’s episode

@@Lexx1976 I didn't get it. I guess you had to be there

Yeah, I noticed that too. Crazy Norm and trying to keep from banging up your speedster without a passenger side mirror!

If Seinfeld wasn't parked they would have crashed at the punchline

Also he was probably thinking of the 17-year-old girlfriend he drops off at school and was sweating. Terry Seinfeld dropped his 17-year-old girlfriend off at school. Comedians in cars getting juice

@@bmo14lax indeed he was probably well aware of Norm’s balls to go after any uncomfortable subject, and possibly get roped into it himself

😂😂😂 great

@@VicenzoV Seinfeld never defended Cosby. He defended his work, which is not the same thing.

The genius is undeniable, but imo his approach to comedy just doesn’t translate all that well to the screen. So I guess you could say he’s under appreciated in that respect, but come on... everybody knows he’s one of the funniest comics alive... even Jerry fkin Seinfeld knows it.

Who the hell doesn’t appreciate Norm?

@@JoesGreatIdea Exactly. Norm is very well appreciated both by his fans and his peers. He's not underrated at all.

@@JoesGreatIdea I think it's that he deserves the notoriety (and networth) of a Dave Chappelle or Jerry Seinfeld.

No he’s not. Everyone in the comedy community loves him. Letterman and Conan considered him the best comic to have on their shows. Other comedians all have Norm stories to tell about how amazing he is.

a comedian's comedian

When I hear Norm deliver a line, I think Archie Bunker. No filter.

What about Drake Sather?

Seth Meyers tried to ape Norm's style on Weekend Update, but Norm did it better.

@@kevino4846 I can see where you're coming from and there are similarities. But then you could say the same about Don Rickles. No filter there, either. But Norm has his own style of setup and punch (in addition to the content) that makes him pretty unique. Plus I think Norm actually does have a filter, or at least is aware that he _should_ sometimes filter (according to society). He can be pretty wry about that as well.

Ryan Reynolds is dead too!!?!??!

Oh Norm, was a Canadian? ! Oh… I didn’t know that ! That kinda changes everything RIP

America adopted him.

Really? Because I think he is just telling the truth.

@@dianelipartito6654 You could argue that the fact that the truth is a layered joke and that Norm realized that, is the whole ball

Probably concerned Norm was gonna go down this route: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoshanna_Lonstein_Gruss#Personal_life tl;dr Seinfeld was 38, she was 17 and in high school, he got her number and assiduously assured the media he didn't do anything until she was 18.

@@metadata4255 I guess he didn't realize grooming was also looked down upon.

@@codymoe4986 Bunch of ephebophilic stans in here, the fuck is wrong with y'all

Anyone can be honest. Norm is skilled at dancing near that line between appropriate and inappropriate, oftentimes distracting you with your own discomfort so you don't see the real punchline coming. Also he layers cleverness and nuance in with "dumb" jokes, and then whether you get all of it or not he still amuses himself.

He'll always be relevant to me. Truly sad day

There's definitely no hypocrisy.

Same here. I just showed several people this clip a few weeks ago. Legend.

I heard that in his voice too

That gave me a good belly laugh. Thank you sir.

Take my like... Please

I know it’s not politically correct but by god 😂😂😂

Few celebrities mean Jack. Norm wasn't a celebrity he was norm.

Was obviously a completely fake laugh

But to make a joke about people focusing on the wrong things is something Seinfeld would probably find funny. His delivery would’ve been different but could I see Seinfeld joking about this too, “really? The hypocrisy? You don’t think the worse part, and the most important part is…” and then you have someone shouting in the background “it’s the raping Jerry, the raping”

Paranoia Agent!

I think you have that mistaken.

I wouldn't say it's gratuitous. I think Norm specifically set out to put Oswalt on blast while making his larger point.

Jim Jefferies picks up where Norm left off. It's a British Commonwealth thing.

@@rogergreen9861 - Jeffries is hilarious, but Norm was really one of a kind.

There are plenty of misogynist shock comedians left in the world.

Why?

Glad to hear you can gleam some joy out somethi g so awful. God bless you.

Erin Lovelady I agree. It's rare that a rape joke can be done, not only tastefully, but without disrespecting anyone who has survived such a thing. Norm is the best.

shizo shizo Cuckoo Cuckoo

Norm was on the side of how bad rape is. It just goes to show you that you can't judge offensiveness by what topic is brought up, you can only judge offensiveness by what attitude is taken to the topic. (Some jokes are both funny and offensive, but in this case Norm wasn't being offensive.)

Powerful statement! Thanks for being honest

No one has ever told a funny joke about rape. It's the circumstances and situation around it that are funny.

@@michaeldoliveira539 The punchline was literally "the raping".

@@Sphere723 no, it wasn't. The punchline was him pointing out the obvious: that rape is way worse than hypocrisy. That's why Jerry laughed so hard.

To be fair I've known dudes who legitimately laugh like that. The "silent cackle" is what i call it lol

thats because he was doing shot with teenagers back on the day too

That's a skill one practices so that one can hear the next joke.

With something like comedy, The Art IS The Artist - it all stems as a byproduct of their personality I always think Woody Allen is a great example, his films were all based around his neurotic character, the art and the artist were almost inseparable

Ok, but why can't people understand that both statements can be true. Neither of them are right or wrong, and people need to stop villainizing people who haven't actually done anything wrong. Some idiot will probably read what I just said and think I'm talking about Cosby as well but I'm not.
