Why do people find this guy funny? The timing and delivery of his jokes is atrocious. Even women are better at telling jokes than this guy.

He's not OFTEN funny. I think it's considered hip and cool to like him.

His constant mumbling and slurred speech ruins any comedic value his jokes might've had and leaves you feeling irritated.

He was hilarious back in his SNL days. I haven't really followed him much since. Dirty Work has its moments, but it's usually from supporting characters.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Norm MacDonald.

If Norm read your post like he'd tell one of his jokes (like at a roast or something), I'd probably chuckle...

I alwasy wondered, what's with the censorship in Dirty Work

Like when he says "rape" in the prison scene they bleep it out, when artie lang's father shows them a picture of the woman he was screwing, they do an awkward edit/cut. When the main villain is holding the dog, it's implied that he's fondling the dog's anus, but it's cut awkwardly again. It's throughout the movie and it bugs me

Anyone know if there's an uncut version?

It was heavily edited to make pg-13 rating for whatever dumbass reason.

norm macdonald is reddit and colin quinn is Sup Forums. i mean come on

Norm MacDonald's diction is as if it's read with Reddit spacing.

colon queer is unfunny and really fake

norm is hilarious and his fakeness is done elaborately so you know it's an act, so he seems more real

>colin faggot is nuchan
sounds about right

Norm is a comedic genius. His delivery is literally the best thing about him. If you can't appreciate him that's too bad, but he really is great.

Dirty Johnny is one of the best things I've ever heard.

When did all these nu-males taken over Sup Forums?

I don't normally say things like this unironically, but if you don't like Norm you are, put simply, a pleb.

norm is cool. colin is ugly and should die

This is my promise to the people of the Television board of Sup Forums, I will not eat a single morsel of food until someone here posts a contrarian opinion.

This but unironically

I've been browsing this board for nearly ten years and I can handle Sup Forums's rampant contrarianism but one thing I will not tolerate is a hatred of Norm Macdonald

nine eleven

>in bed and chromecast some norm macdonald shows from youtube
>cant hear a fuckin word he says, have to fuck around with the sound on the tv for ages

...

Hard to explain. Unironically my favourite comic since I found out about American comedy, the funniest guy on the planet

How does it feel to be so wrong in every aspect of your life?

Has anyone read (or better yet listened) to his book/audiobook? It's fucking gold.

Yes I've read it and I laughed hysterically multiple times. Absolutely brilliant

>tfw wanna do comedy but have problems with speech

Incorporate that into your act

youre probably more impeded by being unfunny and uninteresting. good luck though

Thanks senpai I'll try

Given the current standard of funny, I doubt it.

buster keaton did fine without talking. if you're actually funny you can work around it. if you're only interested in standup--why? standup is literally the second worst type. after sketch comedy

His latest Netflix was the worst Norm standup I've ever seen.

The pro-suicide bit was something out of Bill Hicks 1984.

So many Netflix standup specials this year have been poor. Are the standups holding back their best stuff?

His deadpan anti joke style used to be funny, he was funny on Conan O'Brien in the 90's. He's old now

The time he was co hosting the YouTube thing was a classic.

He’s creepy as fuck

You have to learn to love the long silences, and the perpetual wondering whether anything he says is 'a bit'
not for everyone

> Even women are better at telling jokes than this guy.

Lets not go that far user. I know youre exaggerating to make a point but keep it realistic.

>Are the standups holding back their best stuff

They're getting old and their material is drying up.

>Not being able to appreciate the brilliance of the old chunk o' coal
What are you, retarded?

That old Conan clip about chairman of the board is classic

m.youtube.com/watch?v=5F6dXcW-_Fc

What are you retarded?
No, I'm just joking, I know you're not retarded...
What are you, down syndromed?

You ever hear tell of XANAX?

>Watch his podcast which are funny.
>Watch his standup and it sucks.

>03
Have you watched a few of them or just the most recent?
His most recent one is pretty lackluster and even ol' norm admits it.

9/11

Aw, don't laugh at 9/11. That was a national tragedy. I had to walk through blood and bones in Manhattan, looking for my brother. He was in Northern Canada.

>Reminds me of that tragedy..
He has so many of these perfect little throw-away lines, it's hard to keep up. Dude is a natural and quick as fuck.

Ah, classic.

English is my second language and I find him funny as hell. The ending of his jokes aren't funny but what he says in the middle often is funny as hell. It also seems that he is always testing the limits of a joke.

continuation: it also seems he likes to get simple jokes and work on it as some sort of test of what he can do with it.

you have to be funny to understand norm. Norm is the comedians comedian. Of course you wouldnt get it and that makes it even funnier.

You dont need high IQ (whatever that really is). You just have to be funny to like Norm. He's a comic's comic.

That's good.

I'm not funny and I'm hue and I find him funny. My favorite one is that one where he was shitting on Oscar Pistorius until Conan was defending him and he was like "you're defending a murderer"
very clever

Even colin quinn disagrees with you. He's interviewed on that topic.

if youre posting pictures of pepe on Sup Forums chances are you're not funny and never will be

Hes a washed up wannabe. Ive watched his shows, all he does is throw bland insults at his co host and other people. I mean this guy is a real jerk!

I was at the taping in Boston and they cut out exactly what made it funny. He riffed on Netflix and the idea of a comedy "special" throughout the whole thing, and it was goddamn hilarious. I was really bummed when that was censored from the release.

His delivery is legendary

If you have a good sense of humor then you're a funny guy. You know who isn't funny? people who become offended by jokes simply because they think the content is controversial.

hah. i was slightly false baited. nice

This.

> standup second worst type of comedy

What's better? Fucking improv? A good screen play? Naw, good standup is the hardest and potentially the best.

Listened to it. Top audiobook next to The Disaster Artist that I’ve listened to. The only downside is that if you’ve followed Norm Live, you’ll hear a lot of repeated jokes.

Are you guys talking just about his stand up, or are you including all is other shit. He admits, he doesn't try as hard at anything other than stand up. Meanwhile, I think his special "Me Doing Stand Up" is the best standup comedy out there

>not liking the greatest roast (bob saget) ever thrown down in the history of roasts

an egregious faggot you are

objectively wrong and even norm agrees as he said he believes stand up is 100% about crowd psychology and you don't need good jokes or timing or any other meme phrase to be successful at it

He was funnier before jews and alcohol destroyed his career and liver

Have you read/listened to his book, or watched his youtube show? He's still sharp and clever.

t. real jerk

Norm McDonald's bit on death and dying is absolutely brilliant

youtube.com/watch?v=hyMABTtI_aY

Bill Burr will save us

He should study the stoics, like Epictetus.

>B-BUT MUH 'I'M IN ON THE JOKE FACE'!
>Y-you just don't get it, OP! S-soyperson!

any hardcore normies know what his fucking deal is? what is he on? I don't buy the shit about being teetotal or just pretending to be drunk. He's clearly blasted in some clips

Rumors are he avoids alcohol, but uses xanax.

I liked him as Pigeon in Mike Tyson Mysteries.
>how old are you? 14 about that age?
>mhhmm
>yeah, that's when stuff starts changing. I suppose you're uh, beginning to jerk off now. Well let me tell you something important. NO ONE ELSE DOES, AND EVERYONE KNOWS YOU DO AND THEY THINK ITS FUCKING WEIRD YOU DO. STOP DOING IT
>Pigeon what the fuck are you doing
>giving our protege some important life advice

The guy's high on meds 24/7
t. guy who knows the man.
He's a trainwreck if I've ever seen one

my son dagwood

See Scott Aukerman for a similar example

Right, and like scott he has befreinded a shit ton of people in the business who keep getting him/them work.

Thought that was Joe Bob Riggs

I like him as Pigeon

>rumors hes on meds

he literally gave rosanne a handful of xanax during his show lol

they talked about their prescription usage on that episode as well

this video seems more like he's just waking up to me, hes ordering coffee and it sounds like hes just starting his day

he probably has, Norm is more /lit/ than /lit/

If he did, he wouldn't be afraid of death. Norm is getting old, and is terrified of death.

>If he did, he wouldn't be afraid of death.
you can read something and still disagree with the author

and emotions are not rational

Just write some jokes that will fill up like 3 minutes and then go to an open mic.

Chances are you wont be the best person going up that night you probably wont be the worst.
