norm was already old timey at 40

Grumpy grandpa Norm would’ve been awesome.

I was always hoping Tarentino or Scorsese would make him one of their regulars and he would put down some amazing performances as an old guy.

@@jasonescobedo7577 Which he could pull off. Like a comedic Burt Reynolds. Chewing gum. Toting guns. Making moth jokes.

That was the one moment we saw Norm step out of his act and it was absolutely beautiful. His heart was pure gold. I met him in LA and seen him several times in my city, and he basically treated my spouse and I the same way, courteous, friendly, caring. We didn’t annoy him at all, he was with his elderly mother and sat right next to us. In fact; we didn’t even say a thing, he reached out to us when he noticed I could barely keep my eyes off him 😂 top 5 GOAT comedian and even finer human being. Rip

Nick's been around since roughly 05, re wrote the script for grandma's boy

@@redd3032 ya I don’t think the issue was Nick not knowing the guys/camaraderie, rather Nick is not a “celebrity” like sandler or spade, and I think Norm was more so looking out for him given that on his own he didn’t have the “star power” or gravitas in the situation to take the lead, Nick was humble and pro, and Norm looked out for his buddy :)

@@AMSQUIRELALONDE I agree with that, just not the first fellas comment personally

Yeah but isn't it great that Nick still told a Norm story

100%… Norm is the goat of goats

Adams laugh in response cured my depression for a moment lol

I've heard from a good authority, he stole that line from another fellow that would exclaim " I played Norm".

"That David Spade man oh sure is good 2 me I tell ya"

And yet Adam Sandler made the big bucks and Norm may have been the poorest of them all. He did comedy, and life, his own way and it usually didn’t lead to big contracts.

Nich isnt funny

​@@mediamannamanNorm was still a millionaire, so he wasn't poor by any means..The only one in this group who didn't make a shit ton of money would be Nick.

Rob was actually a mega star for about 5 years...

@@CollinKillian Correction: Rob was getting a ton of roles for 5 years, then everyone realized he sucked and that stopped happening, thankfully.

Fucking hell that hit hard. None of them knew, so many stories about how he would be surprised and disappointed that people wouldn't just hang for whatever reason too. No fucking wonder. Fuck.

Sixty nine likes. Huhuh. But also quite sad for the reasons you mentioned. He just wanted company with the boys.

he got paid a lot of money. you think they do shows for free just because they "want to hang out with his boys"?

@@1qwertyrewq1 you know you can make money in life and also want to hang out? Or if you were a millionaire would you just sit in a room doing nothing?

@@1qwertyrewq1 Did you not hear Spade's story? Norm was in fact not made of money and got paid shit for the tour. He also had to suck Spade off for a jacket.

And then he throws off Nick's timing by interrupting

I feel like that went over most people's head in the audience

I love to rewind it several times to watch each persons reaction when they realize what’s going on. It’s such a “ wait for it…” moment. Then, when conan corrects it, hearing Sandlers dumb little laugh is icing on that cake. Whatever they were going to talk about went right out the window and became the Norm segment for all of them. It’s like a jedi mind trick. Awesome.

Swardson died!

So sharp and so fast and plays it like the dumbest person in the room

I agree with that one! Both Carson and Letterman also did that same thing and just let them loose. Conan is very much cut from the same cloth as those two.

He is so far ahead of the other current talk show hosts it's ridiculous

@Moose Bolton Ferguson was incredible

@@epictetus9221 he gets forgotten too much. He just had conversations with people. Guy is so damn quick.

2:40 right where you should be you hack

i was just thinking that....

Someone should have come back with "Because you spent the whole night choking the chicken."

The face he makes after that kills me

Roooooster

He's a pro

That was one of Andy’s best attributes: patience. That one line was perfect.

Andy put the Strawberry topping on the pancakes with that one!

That's what separates the great Swedish-German, Andy Richter, from a hack like rob Schneider

Yeah, but too bad Andy is such a bad sport and hates Norm for his prior jokes about him. Richter is one I used to like, but now he virtue signals and tries too hard to be woke. He's been disappointing to see him be that way.

This clip hits home

My husband gets jealous of all my deep dives into norm clips. I will never get overhim being gone either.

I love the beginning when Norm says he was out front of the hotel with a sandwich sign... It was so quick and sly, that I think only Sandler noticed a few heartbeats later.

Sammich

Squirting

That’s what sucks he was getting even funnier with age

Some people are born to be old funny feckers!

He was always great.

Well said. We got gypped out of having Norm around. I'll never stop missing him.

I missed norm, I still miss him, but I also missed him before.

❤

But the worst actor ! 😂

Norm was a master of comic timing. I still remember the anecdote he spins when he's talking to Seinfeld in "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee'. He's talking about watching an old episode of Kojak and when the punchline hits, Jerry almost slides out of restaurant seat and on to the floor. Never seen Jerry laugh that hard. Can't blame him, I lost it too-- it was so, so funny.

E I E I O

I've got a lot against Hollywood.

I’ve got a lot against pedal file Hollywood too

You don’t like when they file their pedals?

@@Rowsy91 lol, KZfaq doesn’t allow that word because they don’t want people finding out many of the richest and most highly respected people in the world are such.

In an industry of fake people trying to be forever young, he was genuine. And if anything, he accelerated his aging 😂😂😂

I have seen a much better version of this.

If it weren't for the audio track I'd have no idea which pixel was Norm. RIP big guy.

Yeah... pre-Internet 2.0 I always felt like a freak laughing at the jokes that didn't make people laugh on "Weekend Update" or being the only one who cared that Norm was the talking dog on "Dr. Doolittle"... Then I started seeing that he was the "comedian's comedian" type of thing when Internet became popular... and now, after his passing, it makes me happy to see A LOT of Norm fans talking about him, but not just casual fans but people who know Norm's work and understand his sensibility.

Because it's supposed to be comedy

That Swedish German is a good egg

That was, great to have him share the spot light

He did that to Schneider too

Minnesotans are honorary Canadians, so....bros.

Norm was the biggest mensch on the show. High intelligence, high empathy, high talent. Painfully missed by connoisseurs of comedy everywhere.

Was he good at math or something

​@@nayannbg6314Lol very much a norm line

Meanwhile they are spouting out crap daily..no soul

Is there some lost interview with Norm

@@opaljk4835 Netflix refused to air Norm’s special if he went on any interviews, he had to stay off out of fear of being cancelled by Netflix.

@@opaljk4835 He was scheduled to go on Rogan and Netflix made him bail

@@mcnowski fuck Netflix

Norm's absolute best work was done on Conan. That's where he did the moth joke and the Courtney Thorne Smith interview.

Calling them all comedians, he’s different league.

@@jeremyandrews7064he is so different never laughed at anyone so much in my life

As a standup comedian, certainly. But let’s not take away from Sandler. He’s as big as it gets in comedy more generally and he very much deserves it.

did he really say that? where?

Norm respected Rob. If he said that it was a joke.

​@@JosephScott-ct9sw shh

It's true whether he said it or not

​@jakubcygan8265 yeah, it was from a Vanity Fair article around 2008.

Andy doesn't want any love. That's why he has to be held down by big, strong men.

"Underrated?" Tributes from every major media outlet; headlined five different network shows; over one-million "Twitter" followers; "NYT" best-selling author. For the past 30-years: "Who's this 'Norm MacDonald' guy?!" (Said no major comedian ever.)

Norm is pretty much universally revered

I think Nick is pretty underrated

The Scottish Gypsy's share a similar sense of humour with the Swedish German's.

That "8 o'clock's no good" bit killed me. It's the wind-up to the joke that Norm was so damn good at. Even at a young age he was an old man making you wait patiently while he explained something, but once he got to the end, for one reason or another you were going to be laughing.

You need to sneak some plutonium into Robs food so he gets cancer just like Norm and you can win YT
