Oh the audience mic must be super low, I thought. Then I heard someone move their dinner plate… That man drank up silence like most comedians enjoyed laughter. There will never be another like him.
Someone else said this on here and it bears repeating. Norm was a genre unto himself. Anytime someone says they don’t like Norm’s comedy I privately question their intelligence.
It’s a relief to know he didn’t just come up with his brilliant bits on the spot. I think a lot of us have funny thoughts we should treat our thoughts the way Norm treated his and make them the best we can
Thank you, whoever you are, for putting this online..my respect ! And, my condolences to you and all of the "Norm's people"...i'm waiting for "that old chunk of coal becomes diamond"...
I just about got chills on the intro, just a regular guy, ha. Really highlights how much of a rare breed this legend is. Norm was a comic of old, we just got to experience it
Nope comedians of old weren't all that funny. Go watch early tv and radio. Even adjusted for the times it doesn't hold up. Not everything old was better. He was from another time. A time that didn't exist
He has new material that is just as funny as the last every time he does stand up too. Unmatched ability as a stand up comic, yet morons like Dane Cook were the ones made a fortune. Go figure.
yeah fuck dane cook for having energy on stage he's probably dumb because i never got famous so famous people must be dumb not that ol normy boy is not famous but you know what i mean he didnt make a fortune well yeah he did but he lost it by gambling but he made it back but he never got the critical acclaim that dane cook got well you know what i mean not critical acclaim per se but shit maybe i'm just a fucking idiot named brad dont listen to me i don't know what i'm fucking talking about that's why i'm an idiot
Mike S. I'll bet if you listened to a certain five minute clip of Adam Corolla talking about working with Dane cook, you'd never think of him the same way again. irrespective of that though, I actually wondered what all the Dane Cook hate was about myself. just people trying to be edgy, not able to accept the fact that he's a funny dude. I hadn't seen him since I was in middle school, but he was definitely funny then. and then I watched him again. holy lord man, the dude is *terrible*, and I'm completely perplexed at how I ever thought he was even remotely funny. turns out your taste in art as a thirteen year old is pretty bad.
Mike S. so I went and watched ten minutes worth of that special and it was infinitely better than the last I saw him, which I think was on some 360 degree platform in an arena. recall a lot of physical stuff and sound effect/screech type shit with him running around like a maniac. anyway, who fuckin cares what the specifics of my half-ass recollections are anyway lol. I'm gonna have to lighten up somewhat on the guy, which is OK because now Carlos Mencia is in a league of his own and that guy is so hateable I don't even need Dane.
it's pretty interesting to hear the unrefined version of "Janice" and "serial killers" the raw thought is compelling, although you kind of wonder if he just doesn't care so much about this gig, vs knowing that "Me doing Standup", his only special, would actually exist forever. or, whatever!
He is someone to look up to of you are an aspiring comedian. Notice his delivery, and his choice of words. He really created his own kind of humor that so many people who understand that it is all just a joke. There's truth behind most jokes, and the truth hurts. So cry and get upset with the things we cannot control or just learn to turn the situation around and make light of it so you can continue enjoying life. I think Norm was really hard on his body in his early life and maybe still kept abusing substances while he said he was sober. I hate that people are so judgemental to the point where someone would need to hide their addiction or substance abuse from people. We really need to appreciate what we have right now because it's not going to last. This moment I'll time is so special because it is not entirely corrupted.. YET. Everyone who is intelligent vs "woke" can see that the Era of carefree entertainment and actually creating something for the sake of creating it just because you want to. That was Norm. He did not care what anyone thought about him while he was performing. Maybe even in his actual life? I wouldn't know. I do remember watching an interview where he invited a camera crew in and they watched football and ate wings. He also lived next to his mom. In an apartment complex. From what I have gathered he was someone who knew exactly what was important in life. Family, and making people feel His personality is a dying breed. I want you to think about something that will show you the decline of humanity.. did he have a tick tool account? No. Did he consider it? Absolutely not. Was he the funniest person on the earth? Probably. Did he show his luxurious mansions and live a fabricated life? Nah. He admitted to having a gambling problem but he still managed to take care of himself and his family. He knew what life is really about and will always remain as the funniest person I have ever seen.
The main point I found running through his brilliant wit was he belived in Christ, his last words on exiting were chilling, Or so the Christians would have us belive, RIP Norm.
I can concur with most of your sentiments but I really don't feel like he was an addict in any sort of the way, past or later on in his life. People often mistook him for being drunk in some of his more recent sets but honestly what do any of us know he very well could have been on a bevy of medications to combat his illness and it's really none of our business to begin with. He was such a quick wit and so sharp, I think alot of the time his mind moved faster than his mouth.
THERE WAS NO MICROPHONE FOR THE AUDIENCE SO YOU DONT HEAR THEM LAUGH. Norm Isnt bombing, you just cant hear anything from the crowd other than the really huge laughs. This is because they dont have the crowd mic'd up. So because the crowd isnt mic'd, you cannot hear them and that includes their laughter. So to sum it up, the crowd is laughing but you cannot hear them. This message brought to you by the national organization for description reading awareness for people who dont read the description but still need things explained to them many many times because they dont read the descriptions.
As he162a alluded to : "High Quality audio only, from private event in Omaha Nebraska featuring Norm MacDonald as the entertainment in 2010. There was no audience microphone to capture their laughs. The only microphone recorded was the one Norm was holding."
@@JohnDeerePhilosopher Yeah, but we're talking about the movie. Maybe you're wright, but i can't think of anyone else. Plus, Norm told how much he appreciate Doug, and even said that Stanhope was one of the people who influenced him...i don't know...
I really enjoyed and totally understood where Norm was coming from=He is so lucky to have had such faith in God and we all miss him so much-- I bet he is happy now and God Bless him so much xxxxxxxx
did anyone else hear him mutter to himself, after the suicide note joke, "thats an awful way to start, you nut". he said it so damn fast im not even sure thats actually what he said, but some of those words he definitely said. ugh this just made me so damn sad hes dead. cleverest comedian of all time. you can maybe argue you think somebody else is funnier, but that just means you arent smart enough for norm
thanks for this. I would suggest to those listening to this bootleg for free that they support norm by buying his book, but I thought norm said at one point that he wasn't getting a percentage. could be wrong, though.
This is the earlier 'in construction' material used later in his special 'Me doing stand up'. Except the delivery was quicker, the material was more solid and the audience laughed more often and a lot louder.
All these references to cheese sandwiches, you all like them or something? Well I've got a whole van full of cheese sandwiches! I'm known for my detailed work.
People complaining about the quiet crowd are crazy. Do you want to hear the crowd or Norm? Or is it these Americans who need a laughter track to know when the jokes are.
As a cannibal I am offended my favourite comedian doesn’t approve of my lifestyle. It’s bigoted to judge someone based on what they do behind closed doors. I’m a person too! When I’m not eating people I eat cheese sandwiches JUST. LIKE. YOU!
59:47 - Well, they both (havin a kid & meth useage) involve bouts of happieness as well as sleeplessness. Both take yer money and both make you crazy sometimes. So yea, they probably are similar. Good observation, Norm!!
If he was a bit more coherent at the beginning maybe the audience would’ve appreciated him more. It was a pretty awkward first couple of minutes on the set. Once he got to the Sierra Mist joke he got rolling
I think he said it around the wrong way about the sick kid, “he was more host than virus,” but that would mean the kid is still more whole. Should have been more virus than host, that’s a disturbing imagez
Oh the audience mic must be super low, I thought. Then I heard someone move their dinner plate… That man drank up silence like most comedians enjoyed laughter. There will never be another like him.
I'm with ya on that!
He drank it up like Sierra Mist
He's one of the great ones
Explains his beginning with the soda bit. And pork lol. This legend killed a set with the crowd mid sup
Not so funny, he bombed. Not about the laugh track.
"No Sierra Mist. Honey get your coat..I'll bring the car around" ....that's just funny stuff
I choked on my drink when he said that
I can see that actually happening in our loony-bin of a country
I wish he could know how many times he has made me laugh and smile.
Enjoy the blessing with gratitude🌹🌈🫶🏽
Just noticed Norm has opened up a few of his gigs with different pork chop related stories
🤭lol best thing is the joke falls flat and he still reuses it! Classic Norm
I made some pork chops the other night and Norm ate them 😐. That's my new rescue I named him Norm. And yes I own a dog house.
this should be titled "How to win over the audience". I love you Norm.
There’s kindness behind all the toughest of his jokes. What a human 👏🏻
❤
Irreplaceable, what a blessing to have enjoyed him🎉 RIP NORM🌹🌈🫶🏽

Start the show by shitting on the restaurant he is performing in. Classic Norm.
I love how he keeps referenceing cheese sandwiches.
He had a very wholesome snack filled childhood a la "leave it to beaver" I suspect. Tall glass of milk with liver& onions side of white bread.
@@prettyprettypumpkin8450 Tomato sandwiches and Count Chocula. That exact combination probably gives you cancer now that I think about it.

“The google-space…..W.W” I’ve lost count of how many times Norm deliberately gets this wrong….always in a different way.
I really enjoyed this I can hear every word of the joke.
Thank you very much for doing this.👍👍👍👍👍
His genius is making us laugh at the absurdity of life.
I love his shallow grave theory for missing people in the woods.

Sounds like Norm was performing for a room full of Pepsi execs.
Hadn't heard this one before. Thank You :)
It's a shame he only has one real special.
he has a netflix special coming soon. it'll definitely make up for the 'no specials'
Yeah, January :)
there should be a movie made about norm.
I thank that also...but i see no other comedian who could possibly play Norm, except Doug Stanhope! Agree??

No Sierra Mist!! Can you believe these characters?
THE
GREATEST
this show brought to you by cheese sandwiches

And Coca-Cola ®
Viviana Lara Not that Pepsi shit
I got a whole van full of em over there in the parking lot.
So you’re one of those guys who protest against cannibalism, eh?
It's not a popular stance but I'm also against land mines.
KnoxTN Yankee dead😂
My grandpa prefers Sierra Mist because it’s not very strong. He mixes it with his wine
I'm going to take up Norms anti cannibal stance RIP
Thank you for your service
I’m a anti-land mines activist......
Norms style is so strange. it's like he almost doesnt care. lol
+sortafly 👌
one word: xanax
absurdism and nihilism
fuck off
aa357
nice addition to the conversation you retarded piece of shit.
Who else could get away with yawning in their set but Norm? 52:06 HA HA HA HA
This show couldnt be more released
😂 You mean ‘unleashed’
His cannibal bit was great!
THANK YOU and Merry Christmas 2023

Timestamp pls
@@Signorellielli 7:00 ish. I think he's more mimicking a suicidal man's contemplations for his 4x6 notepad haha Note sure though
@@Signorellielli sorry i dont know. it was in the first half
What he said was "Nah I can't, I dunno where to start" to finish off the joke & it's around 6:20
He definitely did not say that to himself, that was the inner dialogue of the hypothetical suicide-note author
thanks for this. I would suggest to those listening to this bootleg for free that they support norm by buying his book, but I thought norm said at one point that he wasn't getting a percentage. could be wrong, though.
He worked in the Janice but. That's the best. I'm buying a shovel after work today.
theivory1
2016 in Houston he did bit as "Mary." But I prefer "Janice!"
That strict vegetarian bit is too good
This is amazing. The bit about conversation is brilliant. And so are cheese sandwiches.
I don’t know!!!!
Crowd isn't mic'd lmao, he isn't bombing. You only hear the bigger laughs.
I dunno man you can clearly hear glasses clinking and forks on plates, that makes it even funnier to me though
seeing as he doesn't travel to europe, this is really the only way I can enjoy his standup
"Hello, is that the teevee!?"
I could really go for a cheese sandwich right now...

And big bang theory and every American sitcom in history.
It's like watching an awesome concert film and moaning about how we don't see enough of the idiots in the crowd singing along.
Such a great man
great audio quality
Should go to the audio quality store to get some audio quality.
Soundboard recordings are godly
Norm left us too soon to talk about the Alec Baldwin tragedy too soon. I know the old chunk of coal would have had some wise words for us right now
4 people are pro landmine
You know they're buried deep in the pockets of the landmine companies lol that guy is hilarious.
If the reports of Hillary's involvement in pedophilia turn out to be true, 4 million people are pro-pedophilia.
Norm's middle name is Gene. I hope Elton John can write a song about him... (
ChubbyChecker182 it’ll take him an hour
Goodbye Norman gene...... hmm never noticed his name was so close to Marilyn.
Why does he have a wooden leg? You can’t eat a great pig like that all at once! No greater punchline ever delivered in history than that one.
Love u Norm and all Norm enjoyers
Fantastic name for the channel
he was the apex of snl
afteer him it went dam soft....
@bANoMia Yes SNL sucks but the answer we were looking for was who is Teran Killem
That really was a wonderful Omaha welcome.
IMO, His GHOSTS bit is fucking comedy gold! Long Live NORM
Damn, this crowd doesn’t deserve Norm. They sound like everyone is on Prozac. 🤷
Norm was my best friend. :^)
My dinner party in heaven. Albert Einstein, John Lennon, and Norm Macdonald.

As a cannibal I am offended my favourite comedian doesn’t approve of my lifestyle.
It’s bigoted to judge someone based on what they do behind closed doors.
I’m a person too! When I’m not eating people I eat cheese sandwiches JUST. LIKE. YOU!
koray kirik even in today’s enlightened society, there’s still a stigma associated with cannibalism
Well at least you’re not a hypocrite…
I shape my cheese sandwiches to look like rotting corpses...
rest in peace
Yk I like thinking that he's bombing for an hour straight and that he doesn't care and is having fun during it. That's equally a Norm thing
The audience isn't micd up well. They are actually laughing more than you can hear
Yes this is probably the board feed of his mic so great audio quality aside from not hearing the room
59:47 - Well, they both (havin a kid & meth useage) involve bouts of happieness as well as sleeplessness. Both take yer money and both make you crazy sometimes. So yea, they probably are similar. Good observation, Norm!!
If he was a bit more coherent at the beginning maybe the audience would’ve appreciated him more. It was a pretty awkward first couple of minutes on the set. Once he got to the Sierra Mist joke he got rolling
When he yawned at around 50:00, I died laughing he yawned on a special. What a legend
Interesting to hear this - tough gig and an off night for one of the funniest ever.
What is up with the cheese sandwiches?
Interesting how many of these jokes ended up in his final special so many years later
I think he said it around the wrong way about the sick kid, “he was more host than virus,” but that would mean the kid is still more whole. Should have been more virus than host, that’s a disturbing imagez
Hahah “a heart can attack and KILL you”. True.
"they said he was more host than virus"
Great pic...and show
The Sierra Mist bit has me gut laughing god that was so good 😂😂😂
You should see me do it
He’s working on “hitlers dog, gossip and trickery” material.
Considering Norm's anti-canabalism stance and opinions on tofurkey, I take it he's not one of those fellas who goes to those spirit cooking dinners.
Thanks for posting. Good stuff.
But how exactly is this unreleased & rare.
It's clearly released &, being on UA-cam, it certainly isn't rare.
"ham mock"
I am in the mood for cheese sandwich
Stand up via Skype, the future of comedy?
I think he was just hungry for a cheese sandwich during this set.
….."and you pay double for bread...…..should bread and cheese be the exact same price".... hahahahahaha
Truly the GOAT!!!
Norm's transitions are seemless
Why is this funnier when people aren't laughing?
because the timing is better. Sometimes before the punchline hits home, you can hear hints of laughter, and it ruins the timing a little bit
They are laughing, the audience just isn't mic'd up
You can hear them with headphones laughing their tits off. This recording is directly from the soundboard on stage.
@@theindiediary5950I love it like that !!!
