These jokes are so much funnier within the full context. They were making an NBC executive absolutely livid. He kept demanding Norm leave OJ alone, so he did even more jokes.
It makes what I just said about him all the more hilarious to me thank you. He really didn't give a fuck. I love how he'd drive a point home mercilessly regardless of crowd reaction.
Take it easy or you will get fired. Enough with the OJ jokes. He signs the checks. They are golfing buddies. Then Norm's opening joke after the verdict: ''Well it is finally official, murder is legal in the state of California.'' Shaking his head like how is that for taking it easy? Then of course he gets fired. Legend.
He grew up poor and out in the sticks... or the "north 40" as he would call it. I think that upbringing had something to do with his attitude... I'm not sure where his humor came from though.
@@cskillet2003Who will ever be able to tell from where the level of these kind of geniuses come? I don't think we'll ever know but you just have to love the fact that there will always be few of them that of we're aware. We miss you Norm. I hope you're resting in peace without anymore pain, forever and ever ❤
These are even funnier when u know how much the network executive(s) told him not to do them. Then cont. Then got fired 😄 Norm really didn´t give a fkk and that´s one of the reasons I put him high on my list of comics✌🏽
Don ohlmeyer was the nbc executive who was best friends with oj ( oj even stayed at his house after being acquitted to escape the press ) , don repeatedly got angry at the mentions of oj on the show and demanded that no more jokes were told about him. Norm and his co writer Jim Downey behind the scenes continued to write oj jokes secretly and tell the producers they were using other material and then norm would say them more every week live . Eventually norm was called to go see don and don told norm he wasn’t funny and fired him from snl. Don Then began a huge smear campaign against norm refusing to put any norm related project in the future on any nbc airwaves not even any paid advertisements. A few years later norm was invited back onto snl to host for one night and norm got his revenge live on air in his opening monologue saying how obviously it’s not him that sucks it’s clearly the show 😂 fearless. It was recently revealed after norm died by his fellow friend and snl co-writer Jim Downey that when norm was asked to go see don before being fired he was told that don was initially going to fire jim under the guise that it’s not norms fault and he was only reading what was given to him but norm did not like that and stood by his friend & said it was all his own work & fault resulting in just norm being fired at the time. I think not too long after his friend was also fired later on. I was lucky enough to converse with norm privately online in the last couple of years of his life and he was even more amazing then I already thought. Then recently hearing jim reveal the truth on norms firing and how he stood up for jim and kept it secret made me love him even more. Rip to the greatest Normie
I really enjoy Colin Jost and Michael Che for their banter and chemistry. Seth Meyers did pretty good also. But there just wasn't anyone better for delivering the late night monologue style punchline better than Norm. Even if I know what to expect, his timing and delivery is still so impecable that I find myself laughing when I wasn't expecting to. He never compromised his style even when it cost him professional advancement.
I need more videos! I am all caught up and can't get enough of Frankenstein's Lab!! I watch you two laughing way more than I watch the video you're watching.
This is why Norm got fired from SNL. Because one of the higher ups at NBC was friends with OJ. He was told to let up on OJ but he doubled down like a G. Lol. RIP Norm
Norm is like the kid you tell not to do something, but they not only do it, they don't break eye contact with you while they do it!! 😂😂 RIP Norm. Good video 🙏✌💚
Norm was brutally honest. As usual, he does it all with the same smirk... I think that's his one only facial expression.... And with that smirk, he found his calling quite easy. Can anyone imagine Norm in high school any different tham he is now.... he likely came out of the womb looking just he does now, hair, smirk, and all. Lol, now as far as OJ they should likely retire some laws/some laws should be changed/and some should be wiped from the books.
Ironically, Norm was a genius of unvetted observational sarcastic comedy... GENIUS level!! He wouldn't have ever stayed on a single topic like this... except he did ONE OJ JOKE and Don Ohlmeyer (who happened to be NBC's west coast president and good friends with OJ) told him NOT TO DO ANYMORE OJ JOKES... well... this was Norm and it was ON! RIP Norm!
I love Norm's humor, but after the way Will Smith reacted at the Oscars over an extremely mild joke about his wife, Norm's lucky OJ didn't 'OJ' him...Lol! RIP Norm...LEGEND...
Don Ohlmeyer of NBC was annoyed by these jokes and eventually demanded SNL let him go. One of the funnier SNL monologues is his hosting the show, within a year of being fired. It's hilarious! GREAT reaction video!
Didn't OJ write a book called "Why I did it." A judge ruled that he couldn't publish it because it would be upsetting to the family of the murder victims.
Fun fact: Norm Macdonald got fired from SNL after Lorne Michaels told Norm to stop the OJ jokes many of times, in which Norm didnt...really miss him and alll the other GOATS that past in the last year R.I.P
@@matthewrock4725 that very well may be the case, I was only clarifying because in my opinion the original comment makes it sound like Lorne’s words, rather than it being at the behest of Don Olmeyer.
What makes it all the better is that Norm was told to STOP doing OJ jokes by the head of the network but he just did more 😂😂😂😂 RIP Norm you old chuck of coal
This is dope! Norm is my favorite. I usually just watch str8 up comedy, not reactions but I love Norm so I had to click on it. Gona check out your your mark normand an shane gillis as well. But I was gona say that the reason I came across ur video is cuz i was watchin reactions of Pete and Bas...Not sure if ya'll ever heard of these two gentlemen, but you gotta do reactions to their videos. Start with Sindhu Sesh, and then just go down the rabbit hole. P.S. They are not comedians, but I promise you will be shocked an entertained. I just discovered them a week ago, and have been binging like a madman.
The shoe joke was because the tread was at the crime scene, and OJ told the court: “I’d never be caught in those ugly ass shoes” They found pictures of him wearing the shoes and was presented in the civil suit
This story told me how racist US was and is. And i mean black racism. Blm, black history month, MLK day, so on so forth. Somehow some people believe that their skin color is more important than laws, morale and decency. And the worst part-the govermant approves and pushes it. Thank god in my country all skins are equal.
Hey Lab. This Was Kind Of Funny. And I Believed The Guy On The Phone Talking To Norm McDonald Was Tim Meadows. (he was the black guy who also was in a few Adam Sander's Movies)
Always loved how he wouldn't let a bit go spur. He'd just drive that point harder into the ground. And you had no choice but to love him for it. So many comedians would of crumbled under the same crowd reactions...not norm though.
What I love the most about Norm is he doesn't care/ give a fuck. Says it even if the crowd don't find it fully funny. What a legend! Rest in peace Norm!
Oj jokes are great, but people miss the point of Norms humour. Oj is a murderer. He normalized murder in the minds of society and Norm was trying to point it out. His humor is dickheaded. Remember, people celebrated a murderer getting let off.
Just to let you all know, when I am having a rough day, and I am in a bad mood, I throw on Frankies lab. It always works. Better than Tylenol. I know that sounds lame, but that’s about the highest praise I can give anything ever.
These jokes are so much funnier within the full context. They were making an NBC executive absolutely livid. He kept demanding Norm leave OJ alone, so he did even more jokes.
And that OJ killed his wife.
Which is why Norm was fired
It makes what I just said about him all the more hilarious to me thank you.
He really didn't give a fuck. I love how he'd drive a point home mercilessly regardless of crowd reaction.
The executive was a good friend of OJ
@@JohannesWOW it did get him fired
When murder doesn’t get you in trouble but making a joke about it does.
20+ years later and i still cant get enough OJ jokes.
I love how hard he laughed over the koala bear fingerprint joke lmao.
it was soooo well set up
It took me awhile to really get the joke. It does look like a bunch of koala bears attacked them from all the dog's bloody paw prints
Take it easy or you will get fired. Enough with the OJ jokes. He signs the checks. They are golfing buddies.
Then Norm's opening joke after the verdict:
''Well it is finally official, murder is legal in the state of California.''
Shaking his head like how is that for taking it easy?
Then of course he gets fired.
Legend.
Norm is the GOAT 100%
He’s a quisling!
Hahaha haha ha…I don’t know what that is
12:55 Lol the delayed laugh. You can tell Frank was visualising OJ with some koalas
OJ wasn’t done killing. Because of OJ, Norms SNL career was killed too.
Norm was so unafraid, he'll be missed! Glad to see him so appreciated!❤😂
He grew up poor and out in the sticks... or the "north 40" as he would call it. I think that upbringing had something to do with his attitude... I'm not sure where his humor came from though.
@@cskillet2003Who will ever be able to tell from where the level of these kind of geniuses come?

I hope you're resting in peace without anymore pain, forever and ever ❤
Norm was smart in his craft..he didnt really care what people thought and wasnt scared to say what he wanted..that made him great.
Now he's smart on another craft...
Man's was an alien
Like when he hosted that awards show.... He slipped in a great oj reference there as well....
I actually LOL’d so many times during this one 😂
GOAT in my opinion. RIP Norm.
I think your opinion is fact!
These are even funnier when u know how much the network executive(s) told him not to do them. Then cont. Then got fired 😄 Norm really didn´t give a fkk and that´s one of the reasons I put him high on my list of comics✌🏽
Epic. His OJ jokes were relentless and uncompromising!
I think you'd enjoy SNLs "Jeopardy" or "Black Jeopardy"
Norm does a great Burt Reynolds

All of SNL has been crap for the past 20 years.
I need more videos! I am all caught up and can't get enough of Frankenstein's Lab!! I watch you two laughing way more than I watch the video you're watching.
This is why Norm got fired from SNL. Because one of the higher ups at NBC was friends with OJ. He was told to let up on OJ but he doubled down like a G. Lol. RIP Norm
I think the 2-3 "jews running Hollywood jokes" didn't help either. Rip Norm
I’m pretty sure the guy calling in as OJ was Tim Meadows.
Yup.
Do you know what the deal was with the phone number they kept repeating?
@@dupersuper1938 no
Norm is like the kid you tell not to do something, but they not only do it, they don't break eye contact with you while they do it!! 😂😂 RIP Norm. Good video 🙏✌💚
If it were anyone else that Norm was going in on, I'd probably say enough is enough. With OJ though... The man got off light.
Lol IDK.
Pretty sure Hillary deserves all the shitting on she got
I THINK that's Tim Meadows on the phone, but don't hold me to it.
Over 20 minutes of Norm goodness .
Thanks ...
Rondo: I wonder where Norm stood, whether he thought OJ was guilty or not? 😂😂😂
Norm was brutally honest. As usual, he does it all with the same smirk... I think that's his one only facial expression.... And with that smirk, he found his calling quite easy. Can anyone imagine Norm in high school any different tham he is now.... he likely came out of the womb looking just he does now, hair, smirk, and all. Lol, now as far as OJ they should likely retire some laws/some laws should be changed/and some should be wiped from the books.
well, OJ was the killer, so obvs. you gotta make these honest jokes
Nice to see you guys do a reaction like this. I’m a Norm fan.
Never stop getting baked before your vids. Lol. Been following you cats before Bert brought you on. Keep rocking.
Ironically, Norm was a genius of unvetted observational sarcastic comedy... GENIUS level!! He wouldn't have ever stayed on a single topic like this... except he did ONE OJ JOKE and Don Ohlmeyer (who happened to be NBC's west coast president and good friends with OJ) told him NOT TO DO ANYMORE OJ JOKES... well... this was Norm and it was ON! RIP Norm!
The koala bear fingerprint research funded by OJ was the best
12:08
the best part is his face, as he just lets the audience laugh
Norm roasted OJ on earth, now the devil is roasting OJ in hell.
if you look up "savage" in the dictionary, theres a picture of Anthony Jeselnik, but if you look closely he's holding up a picture of Norm Mac Donald.
difference is, norm was funny
These are awesome. But this is what got him fired from SNL. A friend of the president of NBC was friends with OJ and didn't like all the OJ jokes.
It wasn't a friend of the president of NBC, it was the actual president of NBC, Don Ohlmeyer. A gigantic piece of crap.
A quizzling
Getting publicly fired from snl is one of the best things that can happen to a comedian
And when he found out he didn't like the jokes and told Norm to stop, he did it MORE! THANK YOU NORM!
@@T25de The man couldn't create gas after a bean dinner.
I miss Norm so much he will never be replaced 😔
Norm really dropped a deuce in this one.. what a legend
Over 250k subscribers!!! That's whats up fellas, been watching you guys since the beginning!!! Keep it up.
Norm's comedy will live on for eternity...:)
I love Norm's humor, but after the way Will Smith reacted at the Oscars over an extremely mild joke about his wife, Norm's lucky OJ didn't 'OJ' him...Lol! RIP Norm...LEGEND...
Great channel!! Love how ya just react keep it pushing and don't stop every 2 minutes. Good shit!!
These have to be the best jokes that Norm ever did !
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday! Here's to another 100+ episodes!
Think they missed one OJ-joke. The "Hey, that´s my favorite stabbing hat"-joke:P
That’s my favorite one, I was waiting for it the whole video
It's on part 1
As soon as he heard not guilty oj asked if he could have his hat and gloves back now
Norm, got fired from snl for the truth
Norm was merciless back in those days. It may have cost him his job in the end, but we all knew he was right about O.J.
I needed some laughs from Norm today. 😊
I think that was Tim Meadows doing the voice of OJ. Not 100% sure, but it sounds about right.
Don Ohlmeyer of NBC was annoyed by these jokes and eventually demanded SNL let him go.
One of the funnier SNL monologues is his hosting the show, within a year of being fired. It's hilarious!
GREAT reaction video!
Norm was fearless. RIP Fearless one.
Norm was savage with OJ. Which eventually led to his firing from SNL, as there was an NBC exec was friends with OJ.
Lmao this is awesome! Thank you for sharing! Love you guys!
Guys, do Norm's The Sport Show. Genuinely one of the funniest shows ever! No idea why it's not reshown
Right on you guys. I’m smoking some weed and watching this.
Dude so lit you could blindfold him with dental floss!
The OJ voice is Tim Meadows, unless I'm gravely mistaken.
Yeah. Definitely sounds like him. Especially at the end of the bit.
I thought it sounded like Phil lamarr in the middle
Didn't OJ write a book called "Why I did it."
A judge ruled that he couldn't publish it because it would be upsetting to the family of the murder victims.
@Jenn Stetler the book is actually widely available, including Amazon. It’s called “If I Did It” and I recently listened to the audio book version.
Every one of these jokes ages beautifully
Man, the '90s were a trip!
I have been waiting for this little gem...
Fun fact: Norm Macdonald got fired from SNL after Lorne Michaels told Norm to stop the OJ jokes many of times, in which Norm didnt...really miss him and alll the other GOATS that past in the last year R.I.P
It wasn’t Lorne it was Don Olmeier
@@jacobbaker7763well I'm assuming olmeyer would have told Lorne not contacted Norm directly.
@@matthewrock4725 that very well may be the case, I was only clarifying because in my opinion the original comment makes it sound like Lorne’s words, rather than it being at the behest of Don Olmeyer.
What makes it all the better is that Norm was told to STOP doing OJ jokes by the head of the network but he just did more 😂😂😂😂 RIP Norm you old chuck of coal
Ok i get why they fired Norm now. lol
Y’all should check out Greer Barnes, I think y’all would enjoy his humor. He’s so underrated!!!
I think the voice of “OJ” on the phone call was Tim Meadows
Now ya know why Norm was let go from SNL.
You 2 are so smart! Not surprised, dudes today are so much more savy!(old white lady)!❤😂
That’s definitely Tim Meadows and he KILLED IT!! 😂
I ran into Ron Goldman years ago. He was working at a Nordstroms in Scottsdale. I don't know how he's restrained himself from killing OJ.
This might be the longest OJ killer joke video I’ve seen.
Norm just didnt care:if it's funny, he would say it 🤷♂️
You missed the Best, at the ESPYS...that one was savage 👌
This is dope! Norm is my favorite. I usually just watch str8 up comedy, not reactions but I love Norm so I had to click on it. Gona check out your your mark normand an shane gillis as well.

The days before SNL became woke. The days when SNL was awesome.
He knew he was going to get fired which makes it that much more funnier
The shoe joke was because the tread was at the crime scene, and OJ told the court: “I’d never be caught in those ugly ass shoes”
They found pictures of him wearing the shoes and was presented in the civil suit
That picture they always use of Oj is hilarious.
I miss this man so much!! Super raw funny man!
Norm just couldn't stop, so they fired him.
I miss Norm so much

That Hilary one ROFL!!!!!
Pls react to stuff from his podcast ‘Norm Macdonald live’ way funnier than just these weekend update jokes
That guy was a real jerk.
Oj jokes are great, but people miss the point of Norms humour. Oj is a murderer. He normalized murder in the minds of society and Norm was trying to point it out. His humor is dickheaded. Remember, people celebrated a murderer getting let off.
Good point about the nitpicking. So true.
The bill Clinton Hillary one😂😂😂😂😂😂
To be fair spending mother's day with your kids after murdering their mother would be pretty awkward.
Rip absolutely hilarious thanku both so much you are amazing much love and God bless always x
Even funnier now!
If it happened today OJ would have a " GoFundMe" page
And plenty of schmucks would be funding him😮
Norm got fired over this relentless comedic assault lol
back when sat night live still featured comedy as the format and had guts
Norm spoke the truth with his humor regardless of the cost.
Respect?
If the casket won't fit, you must acquit.
Just to let you all know, when I am having a rough day, and I am in a bad mood, I throw on Frankies lab. It always works. Better than Tylenol. I know that sounds lame, but that’s about the highest praise I can give anything ever.
Jim Downey wrote a great deal of those jokes.
