@@joelabacherli1310 that's exactly the response you should be looking for. Whenever I tell one of his jokes I tell it more for myself than anybody else. You've got to know that people usually won't end up gut laughing - but that's not the point. Good luck, my friend!
The opening joke 'no, no, he's my uncle from cousin's side' went by so quickly that only a select few in the audience got it, and that really gets the dynamic going, he's such a natural talker, great stuff
I mean - my cousin has an uncle that is not my uncle? Is that REALLY a joke? I also have an aunt that is not their aunt. That’s what happens when siblings have children
@@mobilegameclips5628 are yall dense? My cousin, has a father, that has a brother, THAT IS NOT RELATED TO ME BY BLOOD, is my cousins uncle. Seems like you might be a visual learner… Draw out a family tree. You may also be shocked to learn that I have an aunt that is not my cousins aunt! How, you may ask?! Because my father has a sister, but my aunt is not my cousins aunt. Simple relationships.
@@mobilegameclips5628 i mean technically, cousin's uncle may very well be the sibling of their parent not related to you by blood. there's nothing specifically saying he's related
@@Alex_ChiltonIt’s funny because it’s a totally pointless detail. If he said he was an uncle from his mothers side or his fathers side, it would actually clarify something. But saying he’s “from his cousins side” doesn’t explain anything about uncle hector other than that he’s his uncle. It’s just so random and doesn’t mean anything lol
The Andy Swedish German joke is one of the best jokes I've ever heard in my life not necessarily because the joke itself is so funny but the execution is unbelievable.
You have to understand that Norm didn't GAF to the point of if he killed at a club most nights, after getting off stage he'd go back to the green room and play cards....but if he bombed, sometimes on purpose, he'd actually go to the front door and shake every person's hand as they left. For real.
You hear only 1 Norm joke and you think he’s one of the worst comics ever. You hear 5 Norm jokes and like a good fungus he grows on you and you think he’s one of the best comics ever.
@@callmeshaggy5166yeah there was no joke there… also Albert Fish was real. The other comedian was like “now I know there was no Albert fish I would have heard about it”. I doubt he killed 700 but still very real
Norm MacDonald as Burt Reynolds on Celebrity Jeopardy is still the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. I have to keep stopping the video so I don't pass out from lack of oxygen.
I remember the moment I first heard the Albert Fish story, I was in the bathroom at my university and I was so invested in that story that by the time Norm went “this guy was a real JERK!” I bursted laughing that when I got out of the bathroom stall people were looking at me odd. Anyway, it was a nice meal.
I don’t know, I was like 11, and the first time I saw Norm was on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, and Regis asked him of that was his final answer, and he goes “What do you think I’m stupid?” And I was hooked on the funniest man ever to walk this planet. RIP.
As someone who loves telling these kinds of jokes, there is a particular joy of winding the audience over and around, up and down, and they _know_ you're telling a joke, and their _waiting_ for a punchline that is going to make them think, or for the punchline to catch them off guard. Then you hit them with that groaner that makes people at the same time hate you, and love the fact that you just wasted their time with something they laughed at anyway.
As soon as norm hears the word family everything about his real life goes out the window and he's just thinks of the funniest joke That can be told about a family that doesn't exist. It's actually quite simple but brilliant
This man was a genius in so many ways. He worked on a different level from the rest of us. Highly skilled comedians, who are a breed of their own, couldn't keep up with Norm. The smartest of them sat back and let Norm fill the room with his words.
@ 15:38 "Don't laugh at this next part..." I totally lost it. 😂😂 Laughed so hard my abs got sore. Not sure why but I think that Fred Stoller immediately busting up was a factor.
The longest joke/prank he ever pulled was keeping his illness to himself! You have to admire someone capable of that, making people laugh was his medicine, I love him so much
I wonder if that last clip about "hope" was a silent hint saying "dont try hope, it never works out" in reference to his cancer diagnosis. You could see he dropped hints in the later stage of his cancer when he was telling jokes. I relate to him as i also have cancer in the pancreas and liver. We miss you norm ❤
You know, no matter how hard a day is or how dark life gets sometimes or if I know tomorrow’s gonna be a struggle or if I’m trying to juggle 10 things with only two hands, I can think of Norm and I’m comforted by one thing…. …we’ve both heard the word “deficit”.
RIP Norm, my dad was diagnosed with cancer 6 months ago and damn it's stressful, it pains me to say this coz he's my work partner and my best friend but the battle will end draw.
There is a word in Danish. The word is "Plat" there is no direct word to word translastion into English, but the best translatioin is " a joke that is funnier for the tellerof said joke than for the audience" Norm was the king of this type of comedy. RIP NORM
The first joke was just a joke about the mine. The whole setup about how his uncle got to the mine is totally not needed, and thats why its so funny. You could literally start listening at 3:29, which is were average people wouldve started telling the joke.
I feel like that joke could have been so much better if he had briefly brought Kitchner Leslie back into the story to remind the listener that he's the antagonist (beyond just being this mythical sort of railroad cop that's mentioned in the beginning,) and if he had added a quick anecdote where someone tells Uncle Hector that Kitchner Leslie has a fat girlfriend that nobody likes. Then it could have legitimately worked when he drops the punchline as you realize she's so fat/ugly that Uncle Hector mistook her for a pig lol... But honestly the fact that it was so nonsensical and seemingly made up on the spot made it great in its own way.
I think it's also a way to get everyone invested to the point where Conan can't break off the story anymore at 'we have sex with animals here'. If the joke starts there he might have changed topics but when the joke has been going for 3 minutes you can't get away with that..
@@grizzlywhiskerthats the beauty of the joke. If you mention that kitchner leslie has a fat girlfriend the audience may deduce the punchline of the joke. The joke wouldnt be effective if you could guess what the punchline is.
Gotta thank Conan and others that let Norm do his thing. I believe the night he did the Moth Joke on Conanan he had to do a 2nd segment of time and decided to tell it long in the 2nd segment as he didn't have enough prepared material for that set.
Where's the moth joke, the university of science. Yes the Janice joke was a theme, but it just shows how his delivery and comic brilliance could make it all come together.
I'm actually quite glad that the usual suspects were missing. We've all heard the moth joke, Uncle Terry in Vietnam, the dog house, and the Youthful Porpoise a thousand times. These slightly deeper cuts were refreshing.
One of my favorite Norm moments was his throwaway line in the serial killer bit where he follows his targets habits, and her Weds. nights girls basketball game at the YWCA, "which is fine nowadays...."
My favourite detail is the miners calling Uncle Hector "Uncle Hector".
😃😄😂
God! Missed that!😂
Who was from the cousins side of the family 😂
Thats just a miner detail
I noticed that mid joke and started laughing my head off too😂
I swear, I can tell _any_ Norm joke and leave a room full of people in dead silence.

There nothing I love more than going up in front of a quiet audience and through my comedy slowly turning them into an unruly mob
Norm lived his whole life and never killed a woman in cold blood. Rest in peace.
What do you mean Rest in peace?
"He's dead?! I didn't even know he was sick...." ~Norm
Or so the Germans would have us believe
but if we find out he did, what a punchline!
He was a better man than me that’s for damn sure
We know one thing for sure if he did ever murder a women; he would not leave her in a shallow grave.

Cuz Andy Richter don’t go for that funny stuff neither

"my uncle on my cousin's side" is so funny
