Only Norm could pull this joke off. One of my favorites. The guys from Better Than Ezra loved it & tweeted the video earlier today as a tribute to the legend. RIP, Norm.
True story: they indeed named themselves at a talent show where they were competing against a band named Ezra, right there on the spot as a joke. Once again, Norm is smarter than everyone.
RIP to one of SNL's and modern comedy's best. This is easily my favorite joke of his because it sums up his clever, to the point wit and amazing delivery.
What seemed to be the coolest cat ever. Thank You for everything Sir, I'll never be as funny as you, and i guess many others are in the same boat with me. If I had imaginary friends, you'd be one of the highlights. Genius Comic.
I played a game in class and since me and another kid are both named Ezra, he named himself “Ezra” and I named myself “the better Ezra” he got 3rd, I got 2nd

Did they go "Aha, it was good" upon hearing the joke?
But who finished 3rd? You guessed it, Frank Stallone.
and as always in last place...crack-whore!
🤣

Possibly true story. They never told anyone how they came up with it.
@@siractionslacks890 Well, actually…

He
Coming in at number 2: everyone
that’s a myth the band spread as a joke
Only Norm could pull off this joke. It's been stuck in my head for almost 30 years now.
My favourite SNL joke, ever. RIP Norm, from a fellow Ottawa boy.
Agreed!!! So sad today.
Yes indeed! I sought out this video just to post it on Facebook to commemorate Norm. I remember laughing soooo much at this.
It’s up there!
I'm an Ottawa boy too!
Sounds like you haven't heard his pie chart joke.
Dude videotaped his glass crt TV for us, and then preserved the tape for future digital upload. Thanks man.
Its a recording of a youtube video, isnt that the title in the top left?
@@JD_13you can hear a mouse click to start the video as well.
@@chriskleps7253 lol i didnt even realise but you can see the mouse cursor at the start too 😅
@@JD_13funny the stuff we don’t even notice until we are looking for it.
Literally every time I hear a Better Than Ezra song (happens more often than you'd guess), I think of this joke. And I laugh & laugh.
So every time you hear good. Got it.
They play "Good" every day at work
This joke almost ruined a great concert, with K.T. Tunstall and Better Than Ezra, and Barenaked Ladies. All I could think about was NORM!
I think about, you guessed it; Frank Stallone...
His best joke ever!!! So simple. Just perfect. 🤣🤣🤣
This was his first joke I thought of when I saw the news a short while ago. RIP to a legend, the best Weekend Update host ever.
My first thought was that he tied with cancer, 2nd thing I thought about manhole inspectors
@@cemeloks all classics. But then again, everything he said was classic
It's a pretty obvious punchline to understand and Norm still stares down the audience like he would on a total bomb. 💣
I Love when he would stare into my soul like that
Rip Legend. This was my all time favorite joke of his.
RIP to one of SNL's and modern comedy's best. This is easily my favorite joke of his because it sums up his clever, to the point wit and amazing delivery.
Thank you. This joke always pops into my head whenever I hear Better then Ezra songs.
They have more songs??
One of his best jokes💚🌟 He lives on forever in all of the hearts of those who loved him 🌟 💚
My favorite Norm joke too. Thanks for finding it!
Perhaps the best, unsung SNL joke ever.
One of the SNL greats talking about my fave band. 💜
The pause at the end to let the joke sink in is gold...
The greatest joke in history, change my mind!
(Please get over the whole "change my mind" bit, it's really played out.
Tikle me frank Stallone
@@Kevin-tz2lv think you're wrong. Change my mind
you are a numbnuts. Change my mind
@@armwrestlingfan6804 I'm not. It's extraordinary lame. About one small notch about saying "very nice" imitating Borat.
My favorite Norm joke. RIP funny man, thank you for the laughs.
That's the best SNL news sketch ever, for what should be obvious reasons.
It almost looks like he’s wearing a crown
My favorite Norm MacDonald joke ever too. RIP Norm.
RIP to a legend.
Simple, yet brilliant!
RIP to a legend
He sure wasn't afraid of the camera
Also my favorite Norm joke. RIP
R.I.P. Norm
Love it
RIP Norm :(

Less than Jake soared up to #2 in the Rock charts this week, and at #1? Jake.
killed when i first it in the 90s lol.
I love this one
That's pretty... good.
It's a joke for 90s teens, so I feel like part of a special group for getting it.
Miss you, Norm
I remember watching this episode. I only would tune in to watch SNL just for Norm and the news, especially during the O.J. trial.
Still one of my favorite jokes
What a legend
They were on the Dirty Work soundtrack
I played a game in class and since me and another kid are both named Ezra, he named himself “Ezra” and I named myself “the better Ezra” he got 3rd, I got 2nd
You was the best Norm!
lmao did you literally record your screen with a video camera while watching someone else's youtube video
Best joke ever! 🤣😂🤣
My fave joke -RIP Norm.
They were Gooooooooood wha-ah
The whole package make this so perfectly funny 😅 no one else could deliver it like Norm.
What a terrible loss 😞
"I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”
-Norm
@@echodec
"Hi, name's cancer. First name Bowel, last name Cancer."
Sad day
They were on his soundtrack to dirty work. Coincidence? I think not
It isn't so much the joke. It's the dead eyes that come after it.
Norm!…😎😎😎…I bust my gut on that one!…🤣😂😭
the only down votes on this joke are from Ezra
😂👍
I wish he told us what song it was. I bet it was Good.
Is this a UA-cam video that you recorded.
classic
Lol I feel the same way with any other actor and then Ezra Miller 😂
I wish Less Than Jake would have charted
Less than Jake soared up to #2 in the Rock charts this week, and at #1? Jake.
Only Norm and maybe Mitch Hedberg
"Good" joke
Better than Ezra is still Less Than Jake.
Norm was the best!
David Letterman did this joke on the top ten list. Who stole from who?
Don't get it. (But I was born in '68.)
In the hands of anyone else that could've been the worst joke ever. + Norm = Gold.
RIP sir, but that was weak af.
They were better though.
It's a great joke
classic
