    Britt, it’s time for The Moth Joke.
    For background context: Conan asked norm to stay on the show for a second segment. Norm didn’t have anything else to talk about so he took an old street joke that’s normally a 10 second joke, and made it 5 minutes long to cover the remaining time on Conan. All improvised except the punch line. Highly recommend

    8:32 When I was a kid, popsicles usually came packaged in pairs frozen together. To get the two halves apart, it really did take the force of pressing them against the edge of the counter (at the narrow section between the two halves while still in the wrapper). You could share them or keep one half in the freezer for later. This is one of his oldest bits, and he once performed it on Star Search (kind of like America’s Got Talent but with categories and a champion-challenger format).

    When I was a little kid, there wasn't a dial on the phone, let alone buttons. You picked up the phone, and an operator came on and said "Number pleeease?" Two years later after we got a dial phone, it was amazing when they introduced direct long distance dialing, where we could dial my uncle 1000 miles away, without talking to an operator!

    Dick is a nickname most often for Richard, which likely originated in the Middle Ages as rhyming slang for "Rick", as did William → Will → Bill and Robert → Rob → Bob. The association with "the body part" is more recent, arising from Dick becoming a cliché name for any man, as in Tom, Dick and Harry (source: wikipedia)

    I hope you check out , Norm Macdonalds last stand up on Letterman, it was the week letterman was retiring and he wanted Norm to be the last stand up comedian on his show. As a young man, Norm looked up to Dave and even has referred to Dave as a father figure to him, who he’d call whenever he needed advice. Norm passed away in late 2021 after battling cancer for 9 years, but did not tell anyone. Only his mother, son and best friend/manager knew, none of norms friends or the public ever knew because he didn’t want sympathy laughs, the most important thing to him was the comedy.

    my favorite norm bit might be the conan gift-basket bit. brutally funny because Conan had lost his show and Norm was savagely funny about it (which in turn made conan laugh his ass off). But another favorite is a bit that Norm did where he would call into this radio show that Dennis Miller had.. and he had a ventriloquist bit he was doing over the radio which cracked everyone up.. he said he had a ventriloquist dummy that he never liked to use because it was a raging holocaust denier lol. dennis miller couldn't breathe from laughing so hard

    Norm's "rambling" was so great, because it made his off the cuff stuff sound just as rehearsed as his sketches. There's one conversation where he describes a serial killer referred to as the gray man, and the person he's talking to can't stop laughing because they can't tell if he's being serious or not.

    The name, Richard spawned from the German word, Rickart. Rickart means hard ruler in German. Richard, the sixth of England was an especially hard ruler and lived up to his name. So, the people called him Dick, which was already a slang for penis. which technically can be a hard measuring stick.😊

    @rasmusn.e.m1064 8 місяців тому +18

    I don't know if you need this long of an explanation of the Richard/Dick thing, but I got a linguistics degree for some reason, so now I better use it:
    The Richard/Dick thing is old enough that English R used to be pronounced like in Spanish or Italian (or Scottish English), so if you pronounce it quickly enough, you sometimes accidentally say D instead of R because the tip of the tongue is in the same place when making that sound. Rick -> Dick. That's also how you get that Italian American pronunciation of Mozzarella as Mozzadell' (they also do this back in Southern Italy, so don't go about calling it wrong). The funny thing is that in modern American English, it happens in reverse, so if you say 'you better watch it' in a casual way, you're most likely pronouncing the t's in 'better' as an 'r'-sound.
    The reason Richard got shortened to 'Rick' and not 'Rich' in the first place is that 'ch' actually used to be a 'k'-sound, but k is pronounced very far back in the mouth, and a lot of vowels are pronounced more forward, so in a lot of languages, 'k' before 'i', 'e', and sometimes 'a' turns into a ch-sound over time. That's what happened to C. It used to just be pronounced as 'k' in Latin, but then people started slacking on their pronunciation and suddenly you have to remember that it's pronounced Proseed and Prokyure even though they are both spelled with a C.
    I hope that made sense.

    Have you reacted yet to the Jim Croce song "Operator"? Every time I hear it I am transported back to a time when people didn't carry a phone in their pocket. If you had to make a call, you had to find a pay phone and you had to have change and you had to keep paying every (what?) 3 minutes to keep the connection going? Or else the person at the other end would have to accept the charges, which were exorbitant!
    I always roll my eyes when people complain about life today. We have so many almost magical creations at our fingertips, so much food, air conditioning, cellphones, etc., yet still people weep bitter tears and threaten revolt if gas is more than 3.50 a gallon.

    I was born in 1955. No spacecraft or satellites in outer space. Instead of calculators we had slide rules also called slip sticks. It was technology going back to the 1500s. Even in 1969 NASA and the astronauts were using ancient slide rules to get to the moon.

    Dick has been a common shortened name for Richard in England for centuries. There are lots of other examples. My name is Robert and that can be shortened to Rob, Robbie, Bob, Bobby, Bert or Bertie. Also, as I'm Scottish you can also include Rab and Rabbie, so I have 9 names for the price of 1. I've often wondered if there is any other name that has so many possible variations.

    Richard got shortened to Rick, but it was hard to scream out when you're calling your mates. B and d sounds travel much farther.
    That's also how William shortened to Bill.

    Decades ago,for years and years we answered the phone, and we never knew who it was when it would ring,not that kind of ring that you put around your finger,and then the phone would ring,not like a curtain ring you put on a rod,but back then,when the phone rang,shew, I didn't know if I was ever going to get through this story,but back then we the phone would ring,not like that kind of ring around the toilet,but coming from the wall, when the phone would ring,not like the ring around the roses.

    I used to file my taxes by phone. Call IRS, “press 1 to enter your taxable income in box one and then press pound”. As long as the curly phone cord didn’t disconnect, it worked fine. True story. But it was always weird when a cable guy showed up 5 minutes later offering hijacked porn.

    So, this is how William became Bill, Robert became Bob, and how Richard became Dick. In short, during the Middle Ages, there was a trend where people were giving people with these names a simple letter swap nickname. So, Will became Bill, Rob became Bob, and Rick became Dick.

    i think i read something a while ago that "Dick" is a mispronunciation of "Rick"/"Rich" usually done by children because the r-sounds are harder than d-sounds for children. don't know how true it it. I was inclined to believe it.

    How did we get from Richard to Dick? How did we get from William to Bill? How did we get from Robert to Bob? It comes from the ancient origins of the names, mostly. William was a form of Wilhelm or Vilhelm, and V is pronounced in some languages as B, so... Bill? I don't know how it developed exactly, but it makes little sense to modern people.

  • @billparrish4385

    On the Richard/Dick/dick question, the specific reason for the leap to genitalia is lost to history, but most sources agree it started in the British military in the 1890s, with the name 'Dick' at that time being a name used as a sort of 'everyman' euphemism, similar to how a prostitute's customer is a 'John', or a male corpse whose name is not known is called a 'John Doe'. So for some reason, 'Dick', one of the more common male first names, began to be the go-to word among these rowdy male British soldiers, first just as a euphemism for a guy, then from there for their, er, uhm, favorite weapon. :)
    As to Dick being short for Richard, that happened a few hundred years earlier, in the 12th/13th century, where it was a common social phenomenon to speak in what's been called 'rhyming slang', where one word was used for another word as a whimsical substitution because it rhymed. In the case of these names, 'Richard' was shortened to 'Rich', which over time acquired the alternate pronunciation 'Rick' (presumably because 'ch' in some words is often pronounced as 'k'), and from then the rhyming slang of the day took 'Rick' and substituted 'Dick'. 'Dick' caught on as a diminutive for Richard, eventually became a common name, until those British soldiers appropriated this rather common first name for their... ulterior purposes.... :)

    I think you don't get most of Norm's jokes haha. Norm is the name of a character from the extremely popular TV show called "Cheers." There was nothing to get. He thought that when people shouted "Norm! Norm!" they were excited about the character from Cheers, not for him. It's a joke because it's obviously not true that everyone in the audience is randomly shouting out the name of somebody else named Norm while Norm is on stage.
