He purposefully limited his success. He was a classic self-saboteur. His only goal was to be the best standup he could be. We are lucky we got anything more than just standup performances from him.
Also kinda funny in that scene when he says, "worst case scenario we both die. And that's going to happen at some point anyways". That was literally how he lived his life up until the end
I never watched anything with Patricia Heaton after that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Ray forgot Debra's birthday and had to cut his cock off.
@@antoniomccoy6733 About what, the family show or funny part? I'll tender it's not the height of comedy to be sure, but it's damn hard to find a family show these days that isn't filled with 1000 different forms of 'diversity' tokenism and don't have shit writing as a result.
He went through it twice. Stomach cancer around age 20. If you ever see the movie, Screwed, there's a scene where he's naked, and you can kinda make out the scar from surgery on his torso. Also note, in his early stand-up, it's noticeable how he will rest his hand around that area, placing his palm there for only a moment.
I like how this is just Norm MacDonald acting like himself.
Genius who had so much more to give.

Ironic that norm never drove in his life
Or so the Germans would have us believe…
You know you chauffeured Norm around his whole life?
You guessed it: Frank Stallone.
The more I learn about this guy Norm, the more I care about him😊
@@maggieb369 shit, that’s right, he vanished!!

"I'm 10."
"Time to drive!"
*6 years later*
"I'm 16."
"Ya like bubble wrap?"
I miss Norm, I didn't even know he was sick.
Yeah, an inspiration! Not even I knew he was sick. Never knew.
Only norm could deliver such simple lines and make them that funny. I truly believe norms fame has yet to peak.
Yeah 100%. I've never found someone forgetting a kids name this hilarious 😂 before
@@morapelimokokomali7907 It's gotta be the way he talks to the kid like some old friend from way back
I miss Norm.
Me too
Yep
@@MagicBananas1026 Me three
I didnt even know he was sick.
Nobody did
some people just keep it a secret.
@@Kryptonicx7x swing and a miss
Reminds me of that tragedy...
Walked through blood and bones in nyc
Oh 9/11 hahahaha
Investigate 311
"It reminds me of that tragedy"
Just when I thought I have seen all of his work, more gems like this are discovered.
Damn, the man was prolific.
Norm’s driving is pretty solid here
Unlike his acting.
this liface guy is a real jerk!
Well his eyesight was damn near perfect.
worst case scenario we both die
Norm wasn’t supposed to be in this show. He just showed up on set and they filmed it
Thanks for uploading the only scenes from this show I’ll ever need to see!
I never watched anything with Patricia Heaton after that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Ray forgot Debra's birthday and had to cut his cock off.
The middle was a great show though, good family show but actually funny
@@johnbowman3630i personally disagree, but you do you

@@johnbowman3630 I never really found the show to be that funny, it just didn’t click with me I don’t know why
A comedic genius, we didn’t deserve him but we all needed him. And the worst actor on the planet 😂
Idk his acting doesn't seem super different from his interviews, might just be how he is lol
Nice to see a show not ruined by an annoying laugh track. Would’ve killed any comedy in those scenes.
Thanks UA-cam
He was a Genius Type whom I will not take lightly
❤
Awww 😍😍😍
The middle was my first exposure to norm. Miss that old chunk of coal
Did you like the middle? I remember my parents putting it on over dinner. Shit was not funny man
Cancer sucks.

RIP Norman,funniest dude ever
Iconic that Nommmy never drove in real life
Rusty was the name of Norm's ventriloquist dummy lmao
There's gotta be tens of dollars of stolen cop furniture in that garage
Me neither i like to stay off the grid 😂😂 i miss him
"You know how cops stick together" 😅
The irony
What show is this ?
The middle
The description and tagged show didn't give it away?
@@ThisBirdHasFlown Give what away?
Oh lol I see it now
3:01 Shaved what his arms ? 😂
What is this?!?!
Thank you. Now I don’t have to ever watch this show
Youre probably right. There was a reason they had him come on to spice it up..or make it funny in the slightest
The middle is actually a great show and ran for 9 seasons. It was actually how I got my first exposure to norm
Norm is a funny comic and a person I respect, but his acting is bad.
I love Norm but he was the worst actor 😂
I think that is the point. Lol.
Tried to like this show...was just never able to
Norm is a genius but this scene sucks. Total misuse of his talent.
Which one
@@ThisBirdHasFlown I meant to say, this all-the-scenes-in-this-show sucks.
@@Bapuji42 Are you sure that's what you meant to say, because even after the edit it's still awkward as hell.
@@abefrohman81 Oh, gosh, my grandpappy will be so disappointed.
The funniest man who ever lived. An amazing White Christian warrior. God bless this man.
a Christian Warrior…Really?
@@MrRiico yes. He worked in a field of Christian-hating Jews and would always defend the faith and our wholesome culture when attacked.
I never knew Norm made a movie with Rachel Dracht
