“Didn’t even look like him” is fantastic but “It’s a big hat, big hats are funny” might edge it out. The line itself isn’t that funny but the hat, mustache, chewing gum and the fact that he couldn’t answer a question are a culmination of a gut busting skit
That one line, "Didn't even look like him," has made me laugh probably more than any other Norm joke. The delivery is perfect.
It really is!!!!! The way he throws himself back against his chair as if disgusted. Really miss him but these videos help

It's one of my favorite parts of his book. He turns the story into a whole chapter
I’ve heard other renditions but this scaled down simple delivery is comedy perfection. The joke, the timing, the body language. One of a kind.
His body language as he says "didn't even look like him" is one of the best parts.
Norm’s delivery in this joke is just perfect. So many subtle twists! 😂😂😂
Why do I giggle like a 12 year old every time I hear this one.
"I like whites" - Norm Macdonald
I don’t like books, they make me sleepy😂
Somebody should have told Norm that you're supposed to read them, not breathe them
Classic timing and delivery.
Norm would have made a great episode villain at Matlock
Greatest story ever told.
What a great story with a surprising twist told only the way Norm could tell it.
I met Andy Griffith once - shook his hand. Was like shaking hands with a bushel of bananas - huge hands
Wasn't him at all. Didn't even look like him.
I’ll say it again: I love this joke! 😂😂😂
What a twist 🤣
I have learned the ways of Norm… now the laughs and gasps are all mine!!
Lol the most pointless story in the world, I love it 😭
Big, big lawyer
"I like literature. I like TV. I like lawyers. I like whites."
-Norm MacDonald trying to impress a fictional character that has come to the real world
😂
He meant to say "white suits" (which Matlock wore). Norm, when he got wound up, had a history of dropping words, or parts of words.
Norm being Norm.
Do you know who Matlock is? Used to be Andy Griffith. 😂😂😂
Stephen Merchant is so conceited he didn't once think this was a joke all the way through
He played along which made it the best episode
He definitely knew it was a joke
