@@chilepeulla Certainly, my friend. It basically means: given enough time, a thing is likely to eventually occur. So, when he says, "I'd never kill a woman...Well, I'm not saying any river that goes on long enough doesn't have a bend..." he's joking that, given enough time, he might become a serial killer.
@ black star , Close!!! He has some of the funniest and unfiltered comedy ever. His delivery is legendary! Every comedian should strive to be like norm. If your comic heros are mencia or Schumer don't try to be a comic.
Norm is such a master, this is a 12 minute joke with tons of set ups and punchlines throughout the joke. You're never sure of the angle with norm, that unpredictable delivery is what keeps it interesting.
And he made serial killing hilarious. He always went for the hardest material. It's dangerous because if you don't do it right, you don't just fall flat, you look like an sadistic psycho-sexual.
This is my favourite bit of all time. The structure is unpredictable,the delivery unexpected and just....endlessly qoutable. Rest in peace,Norm,thanks for the laughs.
Mine too. Definitely my favourite stand up bit. I can’t even hear the name Janice or even think of cheese sandwiches without cracking up. Norm was a master story teller. The journey was just as funny as the punchline. I would be in giggles throughout.
@@shotarodeniet3301hey thx for this! I've never seen that one. I am a Nirvana fan and some of nirvanas best shows I like are not the ones in the mainstream. I suspect this with Norm too! There may only be bootlegged videos of his genius at some obscure bar somewhere
This is one of my favorite stand-up moments from Macdonald, specifically the part about Janice. When he says that Janice's friend could be talking to her best friend in the whole world and when Janice walks into the room the friend goes "Fuck you, I'm talking to Janice. Cuz Janice is better than you....c'mon let's face it. She's better than all of us!"
Tenitri yeah fuck Canada for giving me free college free health care free clean water and most importantly not worrying about gettin caught in a crossfire or getting shot like a dog by a cop.
I've seen this bit at least a half dozen times and I always have tears running down my face from laughing so hard. Norm was a genius and he was loved and admired by comedians around the globe. There will never be another one like him. He was a living legend. RIP, Norm.
@@hondaphan4172 I just came back for the 8 or 9th time and even reply some of the lines. even the guys were repeating some of them when it was over....."I'd be coy" etc. i don't think there was anything mysterious about Norm at all as I've heard some say. he just enjoyed saying what was in his mind. rip.
Norm's delivery has a cumulative effect. I start out chuckling, then as he meanders along adding more and more hilarious details I start laughing harder and harder. No one else like him.
I like the part, "Hey Bill, how's it going inside" "It's alright. It's no inside." So many subtle little pieces of the whole routine you can miss when you're laughing so much. :)
Master of the rabbit punch joke. Dave Chappelle and John Mulaney are like that, too. They're telling the story so well that you get enthralled, and then POP-POP-POP from a couple quips. As they continue the story, the quips go off in your head like time bombs....just in time for a hard punchline to finish you off!
Jermaine Phillips Well put. Joke telling has very much a boxer's rhythm to it. Set up with a stiff jab, pepper some rabbit punches to the body, so you're left unaware of the devastating uppercut on it's way.
prometheusfallen yes this is wat makes norm so great. He already delivered you a joke and as your laughing that off he hits you with that which is probably something your already thinking (if your like me) and boom you cant get a breathe of air 😂😂😂
Thank God for youtube so norms brilliance can live on forever. I feel like I lost a family member. Thanks for the laughs norm. Thank you for being you and never ever giving a fuck what anybody thought about you. The comedy world will never be the same without you but we have these beautiful memories forever. I hope you're at peace and I hope you're no longer in pain. The world misses you. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
That whole set was brilliant, but the Germany joke was hysterical. He's a brilliant man, though he would never say it. And the ending where he talked about Letterman was so sweet and genuine. Norm is the best comic out there and he's also a sweetheart.
Lol. For sure, he would have you feeling sorry for him, confused,but at the same time you would be apologizing to him for laughing so hard about his made up story! One of the best to do it
You know that crazy ass looking van over there. It’s full of cheese sandwiches. Omg you guys and that entire joke has me rollin every single time. I think I’ve watched this episode about 10 times.
Just wanna say you guy's hands down have the best reaction video's. Never any over talking the comics, perfect stoned out vibe just chilling out laughing. Appreciate your video's 🙏👍
Norm is a freaking LEGEND! Heard some of the best comics of our time state, quite matter of factly, that Macdonald is their favorite comedian. That's saying something!
I love seeing the progression of time throughout this channel's history by the black scuffs on the wall behind Frank. That wall's taking a beating! Never clean it! Not like we were in any danger of that happening 😂
Imagine smoking a joint, and filming yourself chuckle at old Normy. Then getting paid for it. Well played lads.
Well played
I’m jealous
Sounds fucking genius to me, tbh.
The genius part is not being fake. Or being super good actors and actually being fake but we dont get it. Either way, thats what we are here for.
@@GnosticAtheist that’s next level bro
"Even in today's enlightened society there remains a stigma in being a psychosexual sadist" - Norm
Rest in Peace King 🤴
"Somehow, through sheer tyranny of will, she could light up a room." That line gets me every single time. RIP Norm❤
I think it's because he used it elsewhere, I think in an unrelated bit about hypnosis. I wanna say it was on Letterman??
"I'm not saying no river long enough doesn't have a bend it" is the one that gets me.
@@rikkilleen3169 I have never understood that line, would you mind explaining it? English is not my first language

“...through sheer tyranny of will...” 😂😂
Mitchel Valentino I laughed so hard
He reads more than he makes apparent.
"And they play basketball with each other - which is fine nowadays..."
Norm kills me!
With Norm, it's not about the destination as much as it is about the journey to it.
I think Janice would disagree
The joke is the punchline....always has been with norm....
@@jessearter4417 moth joke is more about the useless details of the moth's life instead of the punchline
He tells jokes almost in spite of the audience and although Norm disagrees it really is art to me
@@jessearter4417 lol, I feel like norm is more about the journey than the punch line.
Norm's brilliance is he doesn't really tell a joke, he delivers comedy.
He is all about the delivery.
yep. He's an absolute craftsman
But he still has some of the funniest jokes.
@ black star , Close!!! He has some of the funniest and unfiltered comedy ever. His delivery is legendary! Every comedian should strive to be like norm. If your comic heros are mencia or Schumer don't try to be a comic.
Which is just like all European comedy. It's not about going from punchline to punchline, but about building funny, satyrical scenes.
It's a Norm journey. Beautiful.
"I'd be coy" I about fell off my chair! God he was the best! Y'all too! Peace!
Even in today's enlightened society, there remains a stigma to being a psycho-sexual sadist.
So how many Janice's have you left in the woods? 😉😉
@@eugeniav4721 Oh, I wouldn't dream of doing that to Janice! She was a swell lady.
@@Blarsen780 lmao love it!!
@Rich S he was building it for me ❤
I mean, this Eric Chauche guy is a real jerk! 😁😆
Janice is the type of lady that would open up Rondo's eyes.
through sheer tyranny of will
lol
Nah. Ain't nothin is powerful enough fo dat.
Literally AND figuratively.
Because she's fucking JANICE.
I'm pretty surer if he opens his eyes reality will just end so lets keep him away from Janice.
Fuck, I don't know why, but when he said, "I don't give a fuck on account of I never knew Janice in the first place", I couldn't stop laughing.
I felt that
when ever he says "on the account of" get ready lmao. Rip legend
Matter of fact I'm kinda happy it's Janice and not someone I know.
@@sajjadalobaidi9078 I don't know why that's always so funny when he says it. But you can tell Norm loves to say it as well.
Only a *genius* like Norm can walk-us-through a *kidnapping & murder* scenario while making us *howl* with laughter. *He makes it look easy.*
Its a different kinda of humor. His choice of words and timing keeps you engaged. The amount of details in his storytelling is amazing. Never hacky.
Exactly this.
Because we can tell the same joke but the delivery would be different
You can tell he draws a bit of his style from Mitch Hedberg. Never noticed it much until the last two clips I've seen of him.
How's it outside? It's no inside, but it's okay.
Patrick Chenot you realise Norm is way before Mitch Bedberg, right?
"This is just a cheese sandwich. Why? You like em?"
"I got a whole van of 'em just over there..."
AAhahahahahahaahahahahahah... XD
We've all made that mistake at least once
Norm is such a master, this is a 12 minute joke with tons of set ups and punchlines throughout the joke. You're never sure of the angle with norm, that unpredictable delivery is what keeps it interesting.
My favorite is when he makes people sit through something like 8 boring minutes of setup just to finish with a pun haha
"....f$ck you, I'm talking to JANICE!" 😂
That's why he is the king... Not many comics can throw a screwball on me like him... And its like a 10 min joke usually... Which makes it even harder
Are you a friend of JANICE ???????????? THEN STFU !!!!
And he made serial killing hilarious. He always went for the hardest material. It's dangerous because if you don't do it right, you don't just fall flat, you look like an sadistic psycho-sexual.
This is my favourite bit of all time. The structure is unpredictable,the delivery unexpected and just....endlessly qoutable. Rest in peace,Norm,thanks for the laughs.
Same. Never gets old.
The last Vegas 2019 standup is my favourite. Amazing hour

Still one of my all time favorite jokes.

@@jimmydivicio838 You took that a little too seriously. Take it down a notch EH?
"Don't worry about the car, it's fine." lol
R.I.P. Norm Macdonald. Your '12-minute' joke will go down in comedic history as pure brilliance.
Only norm can make the words “shallow grave” sound funny
"I Don't Recall Janice ever wearing three leaves and a twig" LOL
I'm so glad it's okay for ladies to play Basketball with each other these days.
"Thankfully it's Janice and not someone I know". After having kids, this is exactly how I react to such news stories.
that sounds like something someone who does know Janice, and where's she's buried, would say.

I love how Norm has his own style. His type of storytelling is childlike and messed up at the same time.
The best part is when he does that thing that makes him feel like god .
A climax to rival even that which conceived the magnificent Heracles.
@@Blarsen780 Its just a man lying on top of a lady and going "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" For five minutes, man.
Jimmy Divicio feels like? Hahaha
Also, you don't have to have cheese sandwiches in the van btw.
Let's not get into Jughead
Norm acts as though he's from another planet and everything in life is unfamiliar to him. That's his genius.
It's the delivery of his words....pure genius! RIP :(

When your tired of getting lied to you can always count on Norm to tell the Truth. A real comic
RIP Norm, thanks for the laughs man.
Oh, Norm... Rest easy bud 🙏
LOL Yeah, Norm was one of a comedic genius kind! R.I.P.
Norm always takes a simple thing and takes it to a dark and funny place
I didn't quite get this guy earlier in the clip but mid way through to the end I was howling lol
There is so much norm footage on UA-cam. Check some more out!
Look up Norm loses his sponsors / Norm mangrate
Norms joke about Germany on Dave Letterman. Could be one of the funniest jokes ever.
That whole set was brilliant, but the Germany joke was hysterical. He's a brilliant man, though he would never say it. And the ending where he talked about Letterman was so sweet and genuine. Norm is the best comic out there and he's also a sweetheart.
Rest in Peace Norm
You two gentlemen know quality comedy. Thank you.
This is such an amazing, unique performer. There will only be 1 Norm

This is hands down the best one yet, norm macdonald paints one hell of a picture
"the scraggly woods" lol

One of my favorite reactions to any Norm bit. RIP Mr. Macdonald.

Damn. Miss this dude already. Was looking forward to his next special. Smh. So sad.
He's just that guy in the pub....tells a 20 minute story and cracks you up, whilst he's eating pistachios! 😂
Lol. For sure, he would have you feeling sorry for him, confused,but at the same time you would be apologizing to him for laughing so hard about his made up story! One of the best to do it
You know that crazy ass looking van over there. It’s full of cheese sandwiches. Omg you guys and that entire joke has me rollin every single time. I think I’ve watched this episode about 10 times.
Laughter is great medicine, you two are going to live to be 100
"I like the news, do you guys like the news?"......."And I would bury her in a very, very, very deep grave". He does take you on a hilarious journey.
Norm is already funny af but what makes this even funnier is how absolutely fucking stoned these two dudes are.
Norm know how to build up a story, but let's not forget his awesome one liners.
"Which is fine nowadays" Gets me everytime
Came here because I needed a laugh. RIP Norm/Turd Ferguson. Hope you're enjoying celebrity jeopardy
"Even in today's society, there remains a stigma to being a psycho-sexual sadist"
“I would do that thing that makes me feel like God” is the absolute most hilariously unsettling thing ever spoken😂
I've never heard Norm with humor that dark, but he was hilarious, as usual.
I think he had already been diagnosed when he performed this, but idk. RIP to one of the best
RIP Norm. Will be eating a van full of cheese sandwiches in your honour 🥪
Scrabble Story, Kitchener Leslie, any of his crazy uncle stories...Norm is a genius
Absolutely loved to listen to Norm . He was an original with excellent timing. RIP Norm
I've watched this reaction at least a dozen times. Never gets less funny with you guys.
Norm is such a weird dude. Gotta love him.
This is my favorite reaction video. Watching u guys laugh even makes it funnier for some reason.
Miss him already RIP

Its the Cheese Sandwich. That's 80% of the genius. Nothing else would have been as funny. Norm.
Brian Wade in Freddy Got Fingered Tom Green’s character worked in a cheese sandwich shop. Must be a Canadian thing.
"Half a hour" had me cracking up 😂
RIP Norm. The greatest Canadian comedian ever!
Nothin good ever happens in the woods...
That shit has me rollin
I have to watch "Dirty Work", now.
and "Screwed" with Chappelle
"I can't believe you raped me.... I have half a mind to tell the warden!!!"
One of the best comedians to ever come out of Canada and there have been some greats.
"He said he was gonna be coy."
Glad you got that part.
Norm is sort of like great jazz improvisation; it's brilliant, but trying to do your own version usually ends up sounding horrible.
LOL I've weirded people out IRL so much trying to tell norms jokes.
"You don't have to have cheese sandwich's in the van..." classic
Holy shit this was absolutely hilarious, Norm is a savage I am about to binge his stand up
the first time he says "three twigs and a leaf" on the second go round he says "three leaves and a twig"
I love watching comedy with my 2 black friends! I need to find more black friends!
There’s no river long enough that doesn’t contain a bend, but I believe...
i love the level of detail he goes into, makes it that much funnier
I love how Norm just casually slips burns on women's basketball into this 12-minute joke
Vicariously watching others react to Norm because I've seen all of his content.
I love seeing the progression of time throughout this channel's history by the black scuffs on the wall behind Frank. That wall's taking a beating! Never clean it!
Not like we were in any danger of that happening 😂
Lmfao
lol so true
I think Rondo sits on a milk crate, but he is 7 '6"
Another brilliant scenario only Norm could imagine and deliver. Thanks guys
I love seeing these guys appreciate Norms comedy , not everyone can appreciate his genius. Very funny ! Thank u
I miss him so much. The funniest comedian ever!!! God bless you guys.
