I love the childlike joy on his face when he tells his jokes. RIP
Me too. Just love that about him.
@@JossWainwright That's a great point about Gervais. He has that playful yet knowing child aspect in his delivery, and lives to be funny while trouncing on the rules.
Thats the grin you get when you know youre fucking with someone
Great way to word it. It's the same thing I see
So true, I had never thought of that.
"He heard the child's wailing plaintive cry. He didn't say 'plaintive' you know, he's a farmer"
I thought he said plaintiff. Thanks, I also learned a new word
@@mvp4lithuania do you own a pen?

@@mvp4lithuania that’s because you’re a farmer
@@mvp4lithuania Risible is another one. Risible means easy to make laugh. If someone is risible they laugh really easy. You know... someone that's risible.
Norm has that rare gift of being able to make any line seem funny.
Where did ya hear that from ?
The other ten thousand comments that say the same thing ...how original.
Because while other comics were telling jokes Norm was just being funny

@@pissoff234 Don't worry abut the plagiarism, he is not writing a thesis!
@@pissoff234 I'll be honest, I didn't read the comments. Just something I thought while watching this vid. anyway RIP Norm!
Conan once said one of the things that makes Norm so funny is just the “sheer audacity” he has to tell such silly simplistic, outrageously long jokes. The rest is his persona and delivery.
You can tell he’s a highly intelligent yet unpretentious person.
My favorite comedian always. RIP Norm.
The joke was Norm himself. Not caring, pushing, adding the right flavour, the lightness, simplicity and balls. That kind of perfect naive, sloppy, reperitive, almost childish delivery. People often don't get how that magic was perfectly meant.
He is just perfect at pretending he isnt actually a comedian but just a guy telling stories.
It's like Picasso who thought himself to draw like a child.
Norm is the embodiment of 'the trip' > 'the destination'
Love Norm. But his bravery probably came from the coke.
@@MrThrib Source?
These hi res videos of Norm are gonna be legendary in the years to come.
They already are
@@jackwarren1687 Same
I'll watch every video of Norm the channel uploads. Thank you, Team Coco.
I wanna buy them as NFTs. Especially the Chairman of the Bored clip.
I agree, but I'm not liking it!
If you do you'll ruin the joke.
I was a little taken aback when he said the name of his town and it wasn't Temiscaming, Quebec, home of the infamous Jacques DeGatineau
You know, a man grows....
" ..he had a bunch of pigs there, you know, he had a bunch of pigs..a..b..a..a..bunch of 'em and... "
Show me anybody who could pull off intentionally stuttering through something like that while telling a pig joke on the late night show and absolutely murdering. To me he is the best comic that has ever lived.
IDK if I'd say he was the best comic that ever lived but I can say he was my favorite person to tell a joke, and probably always will be. His delivery reminds me of hearing a joke you aren't supposed to hear yet from an older cousin who knows he shouldn't be telling you it.
You're not wrong.
Yeah I always thought he acts when he is telling the jokes or even talking. but its so good I find it hard to believe. I dont think this is how he talks but its so good.
Reminded me of Rick and Morty.
I think the stutters are real, he just knows how to work them for effect. Ive always had similar stutters and “uhs and ums”, and over the years Ive sort of learned how to make them funny in the right situations, even if it is involuntary (obviously nowhere near as well as Norm)
"I'm not Norm" better increase his storage capacity, Team Coco is releasing all HD Norm content now.

@@prashantnegi007 if that’s true, i stand corrected. but i always thought i’mnotnorm was either norm himself, or some chick from seattle.
Now, all we need is for SNL/NBC to put out all the Norm weekend updates in HD.
Norm is the king of stringing you along with useless details to get your mind so tied in a knot that it makes the punchline serve as an incredible mental relief.
What an excellent description of what Norm does.
@@phapnui thank you!
I love how Conan has absolute trust in Norm every time he's on
That trust was earned and reinforced every time Norm came on.
They edit down what they want to keep. Come on. They probably have guests come on for like 2 to 3 times longer but you are only seeing parts of it
@@donsolos I don't see how this relates to the original comment.
@@donsolosYeah, same with movie directors, they should show every bad take, in fact just fire all editor's, i wanna see it all.
"One of the pigs had a wooden leg"
that's already hilarious
😂
"I don't know who they are but Phil Hartman is great" 🤣🤣🤣
Phil Hartman, another great Canadian comedy genius we lost way too soon.
I love that Norm loved phil hartman.

'We escaped that inferno'
He didn't use 'inferno', he's just a farmer.
He said, 'We escaped that conflagration'
I am laughing so hard at this! RIP Norm
Hahahahaha
I had to look that one up. We don't use that enough.
yeah.. i dont think he said conflagration either
deflagration would have been correct
@@ChunkietaConflagration and inferno are synonyms. Deflagration is when gas or petrol fumes catch alight and a curtain of fire spreads through the air.
I says to the guy I says I says to him. Please come back Norm 😭
"So he was showing me his pigs, he had a bunch of pigs there, you know? He had a bunch of pigs. A b-bunch of em?"
LOL
Precious!
I'm still looking for Grapes of Wrath in the grape section. Grape section books. You know... for people that like grapes.
why did this make me laugh harder than the entire rest of the joke
"We escaped that conflagration"
My heart warms every time you upload a Norm clips these days. Never let this man's comedy disappear, share it everywhere.
@@tyronejustice9431 i dont know who that guy is, but he sounds like a real jerk!
Post norm quotes instead.
we get a whole 'Norm Week' thanks to all these clips. Thanks Team Coco
you can have norm every day at "im not norm"
This is a new clip indeed!
I love Norm's stories. It may interest some of you to know that this joke is at least 30 years old, probably more. This is an old literary device called a shaggy dog. Not many people do them any more because it takes great patience and real talent, otherwise the story just falls apart. The story, like a shaggy dog, has layer upon layer of details (or shaggy hair) without much of a pay-off (or much of a dog). It's a hard trick to pull off. None were better than Norm.
MOTH JOKE
This is new insight for me. Wish i could like it more.
Yep. And the way he weaves all the details into the story, as if adlibing is brilliant. As a matter-of-fact, he probably adlibbed much of his stories, since he clearly had a brilliant mind (or as that farmer would say, "a sharp wit").
Yep. My Dad heard this joke as told by an Aussie at a scientific conference in Melbourne back in the early 70s. Has been a family joke retold probably a 100 times in the years since then. Of course the Aussie version is filled with lots of “Ah mate”s. Telling it with the that Aussie accent just adds something special to it. Norm did an excellent job here though.
I actually remember this joke being told on Johnny Carson's show back in the day, by a regular guest named Pete Barbutti, a piano playing comic who was very good. Great joke for Norm's style of comedy for sure.
RIP Norm. I'm sure you're serving a 'youthful porpoise' somewhere in heaven.
Oh this is a new one for me, I haven't seen this clip. Thanks for all the Norm clips. Also I loved Conan's recent podcast talking about Norm, it would be nice if a lot more people can listen to it
I’ve been trying to find by looking at the Conan needs a friend stuff but can’t find it. Any thoughts on what I should be searching for?

@@shugies it should be under the Conan feed wherever you listen to your podcasts! Mine was at the top of Conan’s feed on Spotify.
Yeah, I don't think Andy has gotten over the Swedish German bit, he explains his reasons and I get it but I can't help but laugh. I don't think it's a dig at homosexual people, I think it was just to make Andy uncomfortable, but I don't know really
@UC2HJ7v-M-RlLXNfqiW2eXtw thank you!!!
Hilarious. No other comic can tell a long, drawn-out story like Norm could. Norm could get away with it, because of his voice and unique delivery…it was funny along the way.
I just about had tears in my eyes. He had great skills in joke/story telling.
after being a Norm fan for decades and watching many of these gems, i think I understand him a little better. It seems that Norm always had a subtile ‘Norm’ joke to himself, woven between the fibers of the actual ‘joke’ being offered, that he found funny, and prob wondered if anyone else would get. in this case, it was his use of big words in the farmers dialect that would have been above the farmer’s intellect in Norms mind. Brilliant.
Yea, he was known for his jokes being beneath the floor.
His jokes and stories were always brilliantly constructed. It's funny when people, even very good comedians try to re-tell his jokes and they never get them right.
i think he was being ironic lol like HE doesn't think the words are above the farmers intellect but he knows that casual people think theyre smarter than farmers.
I picked up on that too, the play on words that people don't necessarily use in daily conversation. That's all it was, he was brilliant and very smart, but he never imposed on anyone.
You hit upon something that I noticed but never quite could put into words. Well done!
so amazing that Conan and his team are paying their respect to Norm by posting all his interviews and jokes THANK YOU 🙏 RIP
And an extra podcast too. Really cool of him.

@@tyronejustice9431 Exactly. All of these late night hosts should be ashamed of themselves. If they had any decency they wouldn't dare say his name after the way they treated him.
@@ChuckM0503 Even after the Leno and David Letterman thing, and the Leno and Conan thing, you people still think the host runs the show and calls the shots.
Good grief..
@@tyronejustice9431 Even after the Leno and David Letterman fiasco, and then the Leno and Conan disaster, you people STILL think the host runs the show and calls the shots.
Good grief..
The fact that conan wrote a letter to Don Ohmyer ( the guy who fired norm) telling him not to fire him , risking his own career in the process makes me respect him even more. Conan was just starting out and his show back then wasn't doing that well (or so he and Andy say) so he didn't have that much influence or power back then. Don apparently responded to Conan calling (conan) a disappointment. Don was a close friend of OJ and didn't like norm roasting him every week on SNL. Glad these two comedians have achieved far more in life than that moron NBC executive. RIP.
where is Don Ohlmeyer right now you may ask ?
Down below getting 🅁🄰🄿🄴🄳 by the devil.
He's in Hell, where demons gnaw at his flesh and the agonies of the damned never cease.
You know what they say.... speak ill of the dead.
@@prashantnegi007 lmao go read his Wikipedia page
@@gregh5061 "He was notable for firing Norm Macdonald from Saturday Night Live, a decision that he was chastised for throughout the balance of his tenure at NBC." XD nice
Letterman never liked Don Ohlmyer. I'm sure he had a million reasons not to, but firing Norm was definitely one more of them.
Conan gets him at a different level. Love you both forever.
Notice poor Conan's plaintive cry at the end when he says he can never forgive Norm.
He didn't use the world plaintive, he's a farmer!
The rare Norm appearance I’ve never seen before. Thanks for digging this one out of the archives :)
Not rare. They're all over UA-cam. These are all the same ones we love and watch every day. These are better quality of course.
@@dangerous8333 he's saying it's rare for him to come across a clip he hasn't seen before.
@@dangerous8333 i dont think this specific one was up before
All these uploads, Conan really appreciated and loved him.
Norm and bill Burr are two comedians Conan truly you can tell just loves.
Both are hilarious ramblers. Very unique as well, especially norm.
Watching these clips from the past I feel like the people who were fortunate enough to know him were really lucky. I didnt even know him and I miss him already.
Most of his really devout fans know him just as much as many of his friends did. Norm was the same guy with everyone. I'm sure he had only a few really close people in his life.
RIP Legend.
I just love how he smiles the entire time
"he didn't really use the word inferno, he's a farmer" 😂😂😂
The more I learn about Norm's passing, the more I don't care for it.
If it's true, it's not sentimental. I love you Norm. Rest in peace.
Ah ha! Just dodged Godwin's Law. Kudos.
He’s dead? I didn’t even know he was sick
Everytime I listen to a Norm joke I find something new to crack up about. This time, it was that the farmer's name he came up with was John Neill MerJerrison
The 3-legged pig is a great joke and I love Norm and how he tells it. It was also funny the first time I heard it, when a great (and still alive!) guy named Pete Barbutti told the same joke to Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show, at least 50 years ago now, if not longer. I guarantee that's where Norm Macdonald heard it for the first time, too. RIP, Norm, we miss you!
I'd forgotten about Pete. That kink of joke was right in his wheelhouse. Another naturally funny guy who was actually a professional trumpet player.
He'll live forever ♾️ in our hearts 🐐
Norm was so Canadian. His delivery and diction was so old timey, just punishingly funny. It was about the journey to the punchline. Keep 'em coming, Coco!
He reminds me of a lot of family and friends through the years here in old Canada. his cadence and diction and style i think has always been really Canadian.
Really glad you guys are releasing these amazing videos of Norm 👏🏻 such a great talent he was
The insane confidence to deliver this joke can only come from years of working the Canadian comedy circuit
Or just being funny.
Condolences Conan. I loved seeing you guys together. Always a good laugh.
The gift of making you think of what the punch line is going to be but then takes you on a whole story and completely different ending that fits perfectly with the rest of the story to make a perfect joke. Such a gift he was.
NOONE else could tell a joke like this, there will never be anyone like him. Rip legend
Frenchman here, never heard about this guy until a few months ago. So much content to watch. Love him.
You will enjoy him, especially if you like a good riddull.
I frequently think I've found the peak of Norm's humor.... and then I watch another clip. What a guy.
I am looooooving you guys just playing all these Norm interviews... Thank you Conan! Rip Norm, what a legend
Flawless delivery by Norm as usual. RIP big guy. He's looking down at us somewhere from Canadian heaven
Norm McDonald's comedy on SNL [specifically the news desk] along with Simpson's bits written by Conan, were the main things I looked forward to as a teenager dealing with severe depression. His comedy made rescued me from angst and loneliness long enough for me to take things a moment at a time.
I had similar experience after my son died. I'd lie down next to my dog and watch every Norm video I could find. Only Norm could drag you out of that hell. ( Glad you survived your experience)

Get it right or David Letterman's going to come after you! 👍

Norm is amazing! Who else would dust off these incredibly old jokes and not only take you on a journey where you know the destination, but you also enjoy all the little side trips with their own dead ends all the way to the end you could see and still had fun along the way! Thank you, Norm!
People truly love Norm. So much respect has been shown. I've gone on so many videos in the past few days. He really was a purist. Love yah Norm.
Never got to witness this Legend when he was on TV, as i didn't understand English back then. But now, seeing all these clips on Ytube, i can really appreciate his impeccable timing and incredible humor. Truly one of a kind! rip
I don’t think people really understand how loved and missed and truly special that pig was.
Watch a Norm video. Laugh. Realize he is no longer with us. Lie Down. Try Not To Cry. Cry A Lot.
Ever since I heard of his death, I have been trying to get back on track..... because my mind has been shattered.
You were right Paul Newman... I'll Never Get Over It. 😢
He really was one of the great comedians of our time huh :(
I'm still shocked too, but it's hard for me to cry about him because everytime I think of him something funny he said pops up in my mind and I start smiling again

Im so happy you guys are releasing those videos of Norm. It's so amazing to rediscover an absolute Legend of comedy allover again.
Please keep them coming!
WE LOVE YOU NORM.
Rest in peace you old chunk of coal!!
😭
Norm at his lovable best!
it's sad to say that people who enjoy comedy over the next few years might never stumble upon the absolute legend that is Norm Macdonald. I've always loved watching him make presenters squirm in their seats.
I LOVE watching all these clips of Norm. Thanks Team Coco for being everyone's go to for reliving some of our favorite Norm moments. ❤
Thanks for releasing all these, Coco.
Norm was a true master at delivering a long drawn joke with a hilarious punch line
RIP Norm......
Oh Norm, you’re one of a kind buddy, RIP
Laughing and crying for that past 3 days This ones hit hard 💔
This guy... lots to be said - but what isn't said enough is he has the best smile.
The absolute best. RIP sir
Norm McDonald and Phil Hartman, two legends gone too soon. ❤️
Thanks so much for posting these Norm interviews.
He will always be my favorite ❤️
Thank you for posting all of these classics! Keep em coming. Please keep posting and even reposting once you run out. The world needs Norm
I love how much team coco is uploading norm content. We can see how much they all loved him, conon and the whole team included.
"They better be Norm!" Cracked me up so bad! 😂😂
I first heard this joke from my dad when I was a kid. I'm 46 now, and even though I knew the punchline, I still laughed my ass off hearing Norm tell it. Legend!
I love how that entire story of the pig being a hero has nothing to do with the punchline. The only relation to it is the pig has a wooden leg. But that's Norm, he takes five-second jokes and hilariously drags them out forever.
Nobody can stretch a story out like Norm and still keep the audience laughing. What a gem!
I love that Norm is getting the appreciation he deserves.
Keep being victoriously jocular in your eternally peaceful rest, my Duke of Comedy, Norman Gene Macdonald 😥🙏🤟
That’s beautiful
Keep uploading all these old Norm clips! We want every single one of them uploaded! 🙏🏼 Love you Norm, be at peace 💔🙏🏼
The pig joke is often overlooked, but it's so great.
Watched it a 100 times before, know the punchline, know the whole godamn joke, but still at the end of the video realizing I have been smiling the whole video. That's Norm. the GOAT.
Already miss this guy. 😢😢
"14th September 2021 was the worst day ever" - some Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivor.
This is one of my favorite jokes from years and years ago, it’s great hearing Norm tell it. 😄
It's crazy seeing these clips in HD.
RIP Norm, I watched and will continue watch your clips when I should be working and when I go to sleep.
Thank you for the laughs
Thank you for putting up all these clips! Much appreciated [and long overdue]!
This is a very old story and I knew where he was going after he said "pig with a wooden leg" but he still made it funny. With Norm, it wasn't so much about the punch line as the journey getting to it.
Going from inferno to conflagration just shows how much of a genius Norm was. Brilliant.

THANKS Team Coco! So cool you're sharing your high quality archives to help us stretch time & digest his passing ~ Norm caught us by surprise again! Damn he was good at that 👍
Dude, Norman was awesome! He could make you laugh all the way thru the joke and sometimes he even played with the audience delivering a shitty end, maybe to show how easy for him it was. Genius.
Norm was a damn good looking man! Sounded and looked like he was from the 40's here lol. We love you and miss you, Norm. There will never be another legend like you.
I’ve been telling this joke for years. I always try to make it a little longer and slightly more ridiculous each time. People get so mad at that punchline. 😂
I appreciate Team Coco for uploading all these Norm clips. Can't get enough of them!
I never saw this one until now, thanks for posting and RIP to the greatest of all time.
Norm Macdonald was a great comedy legend and a pleasant face to look at everytime, he put a smile on your face and warmed your heart with his jokes.
Rest in Peace !
"I don't know who they are, but Phil Hartman's great."
I love Gin Blossoms, but I also love that comment
I have never heard his jokes until today. He was a treasure. I love the way he tells his stories. He really had a gift. Now I will have to find more so I can enjoy him for the first time. Wow, thanks for posting him.
Please keep these Norm videos coming because I’ll never get tired of them
Nop
Keep these coming please... theyre all awesome...I wonder how the leg was cooked though...
“Yeah I don’t know who they are but Phil Hartman’s great.”
Norm’s relentless honesty is what made him the greatest comedian ever. He doesn’t even think about it for a second he just admits he doesn’t even know anything about the musical guest on his own show 😂
Everytime you share a video about him, my heart smiles :) none of us is capable to comprehend his place in conan's eyes..
Norm will continue to give laughter and happiness a very long time from now on. Like all the greats he will now become the legend he already was during his lifetime for those that new him and new of him.
I wouldn’t complain if this channel only posted Norm clips from here on, still hasn’t hit that he’s gone, but the laughs he made live forever, also he beat cancer by dying so who’s the real winner, not a draw 😉
“He was showing me his pigs, he had a bunch of pigs there, ya know, he had a bunch of pigs, uh uh a bunch of ‘em”

That joke took 45 minutes and it was still funny.😂
this is my first clip of norm mcdonaldI cant help but see the influence he has on justin roiland in rick and morty he sounds exactly like that
Norm foreshadowed what was to come when he dropped the hint, “I come from a long line of death.”
