Hey Everyone, I’m glad you all enjoyed the tribute video. Norm Macdonald is the funniest comedian to ever live, and he actually inspired me to start doing stand-up comedy. If you’d like to see a video of me doing stand up please click this link, I’d really appreciate it: ua-cam.com/video/u2-4Dg7tCSU/v-deo.html
I think its because he knew even tho the people in the audience were booing, the people who would laugh at the recording, would laugh really fuckin hard, and he thrived on that. He seems to be having so much fun in every clip of him "bombing".
It sucks because you’ll never see anything like that for the ESPYS ever again. With all of the social justice garbage and attacks on language you will never see another comedian, especially someone like Norm, host another ESPYS again. Now it’s just boring, woke crap where these people all kiss each other’s butts and and talk about social justice issues and take literally all of the fun out of the show because they can’t shut up about their activism for two seconds. In fact, they would have probably canceled Norm for some of those jokes. Just sad.
16:55 "Congratulations- that is something that No one can ever take Away from you...unless you Kill your Wife and some Waiter..".EPIC face palm, confusion, one guy shaking his head like - just "W T F - " 🙊💩🙈🙊 Norm:😉👍
Makes me wish I was American and knew all these athletes he was roasting ... because that seemed to me he murdered that whole room ... ever sentence he uttered. It was glorious.
I really miss this man. His comedy got me through dark times. Never thought I'd cry over a celebrity's passing, and I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one. Rest in Paradise Norm. You were truly a gift to this world
"You know man, it was tragic... at the time." "What???! 44 is a ripe old age for a crocodile hunter." He was the all-time master of timing. He would state the most completely obvious truths about something very traumatic; find a silver lining somewhere and make you cry laughing just by talking about it. I totally remember my first Norm experience. Who remembers when Comedy Central was called the Comedy Channel and it was just short clips like 5 minutes of different comics at different clubs everywhere? It was 1990 or 91, I was 12 years old and Norm came on and did a bit about Satan convincing him to chop up his family and stuff them into duffel bags. And Satan turns out to be his neighbor or friend, Bob with a mask on. Anybody remember that? I can't find it. I think it's the best bit to this day. It was dark but fricken hilarious 😂 "It's me...(takes off mask) Bob!!!"
@@TheComedyHistorian "Ahhh!! Geeze, Bob! You scared me... I got my family here chopped up in a duffel bag... Good one, Bob... chalk one up for you there, Bobby." 😆😅🤣🤣🥰
@@joshbrant894 i went to find it bacause this premise is hilarious. ua-cam.com/video/mSK7X3ETQbg/v-deo.html no video but the audio is exactly as you described lmao
@@ubwcolt yesss!! Over 30 years later it's still one of the greatest jokes I've ever heard! Normie shaped my entire sense of humor at age 13 in that one bit 🤣🤣🥰
The simple fact Norm was asked to host the espy's that year, is all the proof you need to understand how awesome the 90's were! Rip Norm, you're up in heaven now making God pee himself
The best part is Larry never had a funny bone in his body and that dumbass didn't ever realize he was part of a bit. Larry thought he was so smart but showed his ignorance in that moment. Norm crushed that dummy
The Goat. To able able to take a unfunny, 10 second, 2 sentence joke, and than add 2 or 3 minutes of non comedy filler after the set up so when the silly punchline lands you realize the joke was on you is so amazing and hilarious. Nobody else can or will ever be able to do that. Norm didn't just tell jokes, he showed you that everything is a joke and to not take things so serious. This lesson makes life so much better, and maybe that's just from my perspective, but I hope many people have learned this and live happier lives because of Norm.
If God loved Norm he wouldn't have turned him into a Pigeon. No. Norm is in Hell, for making God chuckle at his own work. Gods greatest hits such as: 9/11, or the holocaust.
God damn this man was a treasure. I love that feeling when he finished a joke and you start out kinda chuckling, but as the absurdity of the joke rolls around in your brain, you realize the levels of humor he just stitched together, and it builds and builds til you are laughing to the point of physical pain. The polish joke he tells Conan is a perfect example. God rest his soul. We didn't even know he was sick.
Norm made me laugh more then any other person, he struck me as person who lived his life through the laughter he provided for the world. He always looked a little sad to me and I thought what a shame it was that he didn't know how much we loved him. I just miss you Norm, God bless you, you made the world a lot more fun.
I think he was a very introverted dude who knew a lot about this world without succombing to bitterness and that's part of what was beautiful about this man.
I feel the sadness too but I'm an introvert and understand not liking the parties etc. I don't know why he didn't want a relationship after his divorce but from 50 on he was hiding his illness except for family/manager and maybe being on meds and getting treatments, made him lonely. It's hard which is why he'd hint at his illness in some interviews. Hearing some people joke about his bloat (which seems very obvious from meds) must have been hard at times. You want to hide it but then you think, "How little do they care, how little do they really see me?"
I really loved how he trolled the hell out of that epsy venue, yup they are used to people suck up to them untill they met Norm,,, Rip my friend, we were lucky to have you. Love you man.
Very rarely do I ever get sad when a celebrity dies. When I heard that Norm Macdonald died, I was very sad and it affected me far more than it probably should have. I went to see Norm live on a few occasions when he came to town. For one of his visits, I purchased my tickets online to the small venue which only held around 250 or so people. When I ordered the ticket for myself, I wrote a comment on my order explaining that I realized that there was no specific seating arrangement within the venue and they just seat people as people arrive. I stated that I was going through a horrible divorce, was in a bad way, and it would mean the world to me if they might be able to seat me somewhere closer to the front. I also said that I fully understood if my request could not be met. Well, when I showed up that night, there was a line of people in front of me being brought in by the ushers. When they looked at my ticket, they asked me to just stand off to the side while they let a few groups go in front. The man who set me aside just said for me to follow him and he brought me to a small table right beside the stage; and no one else was seated with me. When Norm Macdonald entered after the first few comics finished their sets, he stopped at my table, shook my hand, and said “Have a good night man, I hope you enjoy the show” and then he patted me on the back. Norm did well over two hours and the staff turned the house lights on while he was still performing!! On his way out, he shook my hand again, but didn’t say anything. I’ll never know if it was set up for me to be so close and to have my own table; not if they told Norm about what I had said. But I have a difficult time believing it was all just a coincidence. The world lost an amazing man when Norm passed. He touched a lot of people in a way that only Norm could; which is much different than Michael Jackson’s way of touching people…
I love when he's at that event with all those sports celebrities and he'll say someone's name and the camera turns to them and they'll smile but you see fear in their eyes
1 Million views… I’m speechless guys. I’m beyond thankful that this many of you were able to enjoy Norm’s comedy and appreciate the legacy he left behind as I do. Thank you all so much, another Norm video will be coming out in September.
Norm, Nick, and Andy burying any chance of Mangrate staying on as a sponsor - the laughter is so contagious! Funny AF those guys cracking each other up.
Norm made a huge impact on my understanding of comedy as a whole. There's just something very different about this guy. I love him dearly, may he rest in peace.
God damn that SNL monologue at the end, that's some savagery. Thanks for this, I'm liking Norm more and more these days, I only know him through YT these last few years. RIP Norm.

@@TheComedyHistorian Whenever I need a laugh, classic Norm always does the trick. He's in that bucket of comedians whose legacy should live on long beyond his passing much like Dangerfield and Rickles.
A true comic's comic. I haven't seen ONE comedian tell a bad Norm story or trash the guy... Even before he died.... There's another hole in comedy that will be felt for many a milenia
As an european who never understood how can there be people rooting and happy that a murderer is not convicted, I find Norm shitting on OJ Simspon so satisfying. It’s so beautiful.
I get that this is the perfect introduction point to Norm's brilliance but I don't care, I just see the same bits for the gazillionth time and I still laugh out loud
Today was the first time i ever heard of this guy, now im hours into a marathon of youtube videos. Shame he isn't still around, seems like a really unique and witty personality.
Norm forever. I still remember being a kid and seeing his bit about the doberman for the first time. He made me laugh more consistently than anybody else in this world.
My dad was diagnosed with stage four bladder cancer just months before Norm died of cancer. He was my dad’s absolute favorite comedian, hands down no one else came close to making him laugh as hard. Norm dying hurt us both tremendously but especially my father. I think it’s stupendous my dad survived more than three years after diagnosis, but I know that if Norm were still alive my dad would still be around just to hear his jokes.
I miss him, he knew so much, he was the entire meaning of life and knew what life was all about, i still can't believe he kept his disease quiet until death itself. Until the last moment he could he wanted people to not be sad and be happy. What a guy.
He'll never know what he was to so many. He was like losing family. He still makes me laugh during my 1000th binge. I hope he's in the heaven he believed in and winning every bet. Miss you Norm! 😔
"that's what everyone keeps telling me" in response to larry king correcting his pronunciation. sometimes it's his little quips and throw away jokes that make me laugh the hardest.
No one will ever deliver a joke as good again! It takes a real level of genius to not even say funny things but have the whole room laughing. Rip to mine and many others favorites to ever do it! ❤️
Great tribute to a great human. You are spot on with you caption comment, wether it means anything or not. Laughed the whole time and norm made people happy, he just didn't make you laugh intermittently, you walked away feeling good. Not many people at all have that impression.
He made me really happy. No comedian has ever struck me and had me laughing endlessly the way he did. Above all he was a kind soul who truly inspires me to be a better person too. Long Live Norm
Norm and john Stewart had a great dynamic it's interesting to see how norm plays into the lefty talk show host in john Stewart and the righty with dennis miller, same with a letterman vs someone like fallon, he just knows his audience so perfectly
That lady's face at 6:03 is the absolute summation of what Norm Macdonald wanted to achieve in his life and by GOD he did it! RIP you old chunk of coal.
The early (pre-Netflix) seasons of the Norm MacDonald interview show couldn’t be beat. Larry King (“eye-ron”), the Man Grate, the banter with Adam Egret - amazing.

It was a NATIONAL TRAGEDY!
Miss this guy. His death will forever be known in American History as the worst thing to ever happen in September.
Reminds me of something...
Makes me think of that tragedy
"9-11 is a horrible name for an airline"
@@TonykThemaninpink 9/11, 9/14, they're both terrible.

That sting ray. The more I hear about the stingray that killed Steve Irwin the more I realize that stingray is a real jerk.
It was tragic .. you know at the time .. -it was like a week earlier
David Irving?
Norm seemed happier when people booed him rather than when they laughed.
The boos were the best jokes in the world, they just take a decade to simmer a bit.
I think its because he knew even tho the people in the audience were booing, the people who would laugh at the recording, would laugh really fuckin hard, and he thrived on that. He seems to be having so much fun in every clip of him "bombing".
I think he was always trying to entertain other comedians. The audience is the joke lol
@@randyfaubion9257 i think thats exactly right. He is like the most technical comediant if that makes any sense lol
I think he was a brilliant comedian, but also had some issues that made him uncomfortable with praise and approval.
“The crocodile hunter got killed… who was it Frank?”
“Nah man you don’t even wanna know”
Some fruity fish
“Unless you kill your wife and a waiter” is the best punchline I’ve ever heard
Followed by the best face palm I've ever seen
The setting of the joke was at least 50% of the punch. That's as high art in comedy as the Mona Lisa was to painting.
If the “dominant” culture doesn’t tell the truth, the comedians have to.
Ken Griffey JR not having it.
I liked the female chief of staff joke too.. The silence in crowd that was followed was priceless
I’ll never forget how uncomfortable every athlete looked when Norm hosted the ESPY’s. It made everything so much more funny.
Honestly, Tiger Woods had kind of an wholesome expression on his face compared to all of these other dudes.

Stalin was just as brave
...Or so the Germans would have us believe.
a real hero
Real bravery is Bruce Jenner I mean whatever her name is now.
I've heard all of these jokes dozens of times since his passing and still love them.
And laugh my ass off every time I hear them.
The fear in the celebrities' eyes at the ESPYs was palpable

I miss him so much he can never be replaced. I hope he knew that I really do
My dad was diagnosed with stage four bladder cancer just months before Norm died of cancer. He was my dad’s absolute favorite comedian, hands down no one else came close to making him laugh as hard. Norm dying hurt us both tremendously but especially my father. I think it’s stupendous my dad survived more than three years after diagnosis, but I know that if Norm were still alive my dad would still be around just to hear his jokes.
That mangrate ad had me dying for far too long. haven't laughed that hard in a long long time.
I miss him, he knew so much, he was the entire meaning of life and knew what life was all about, i still can't believe he kept his disease quiet until death itself. Until the last moment he could he wanted people to not be sad and be happy. What a guy.
He'll never know what he was to so many.
He was like losing family. He still makes me laugh during my 1000th binge. I hope he's in the heaven he believed in and winning every bet. Miss you Norm! 😔
“So, John I hear your growing older”
He was dying and didn’t tell even his best friends. This man just wanted to make people happy and laugh!!!! That’s amazing
"that's what everyone keeps telling me" in response to larry king correcting his pronunciation. sometimes it's his little quips and throw away jokes that make me laugh the hardest.
This man was unbelievably brilliant. 😂 miss him 😥
I love Norm. Rest easy buddy
No one will ever deliver a joke as good again! It takes a real level of genius to not even say funny things but have the whole room laughing. Rip to mine and many others favorites to ever do it! ❤️
Thank you for this. An excellent tribute to Norm which encapsulates the spirit behind his comedy.
Great tribute to a great human. You are spot on with you caption comment, wether it means anything or not. Laughed the whole time and norm made people happy, he just didn't make you laugh intermittently, you walked away feeling good. Not many people at all have that impression.
He made me really happy. No comedian has ever struck me and had me laughing endlessly the way he did. Above all he was a kind soul who truly inspires me to be a better person too. Long Live Norm
Norm and john Stewart had a great dynamic it's interesting to see how norm plays into the lefty talk show host in john Stewart and the righty with dennis miller, same with a letterman vs someone like fallon, he just knows his audience so perfectly
Yeah man. Norm put on a masterclass of comedy every single performance.
ummm. Norm hated politics and even more so talking about politics in interviews. He would always say "thats when people stop laughing"....
@@nathanieledwards7150 He did, but he loved Jon Stewart.
@@TheComedyHistorian oh yeah. Who doesn't love Jon Stewart? He's such a real person who's got that naturally funny swing
@@nathanieledwards7150 anyone who panders to their audience is the opposite of Norm.
Norm, you were pure genius. Your comedy was fearless. This planet was a better place with you in it, and you left it a better place. God bless you.
Jesus, the man grate bit had me in tears
That lady's face at 6:03 is the absolute summation of what Norm Macdonald wanted to achieve in his life and by GOD he did it! RIP you old chunk of coal.
his delivery is excellence. pure perfection. 1of1.
The early (pre-Netflix) seasons of the Norm MacDonald interview show couldn’t be beat. Larry King (“eye-ron”), the Man Grate, the banter with Adam Egret - amazing.
This is pure gold. The best compilation of Norm I've seen. This is a TRUE best of. Laughed my ass off at the "Man Grate" seg. Thanks for this! 😂
