Already posted on the thread, though i'm sure we'll get a lot of repeats.

Norm Macdonald was one of the funniest people, imo. Also a comedian who was considered one of the funniest by many other comedians.

By far, the best guest on Conan. I've always loved this one:


holy crap this legit had me in tears when he was reading the card I was laughing so hard

"Man, i'm gonna tell you... that's some bad luck. When the one guy who would have died for you... kills you."

God... that is just amazing. Freaking Norm.

Loved it when everybody got the joke and was laughing but he then explains it and makes everything that much more hilarious.

Watching Seinfeld crack up the whole time is gold.

This actually blows. This dude was amazing. His comedic style is unmatched. Ugh. Definitely one of a kind.

For some reason I would laugh just reading his tweets speaking very plainly about sports...mostly golf. There would be no joke in there at all but I'd laugh that Norm was just taking in a Saturday tweeting updates on Koepka's 3rd round.

Just realized his last tweet was 7/16. Didn't even realize it had been a few months since I had seen one.


I thought about this earlier today too, he would sit there and live tweet a round of golf randomly. Or play by play of a basketball game, etc. I mean I know he was a big gambler but that's pretty good commitment to a bit. He also used to do "Norms Book Club" on Twitter for a while. That was pretty great. Norm is a icon to me...can't imagine there's many more entertainers that I'd be this bummed over.

Yep. Going to eventually lose all our non-pc comics, which will kill comedy.


They are still out there but venues won't give em spots. I've got a comic friend who was regularly removed once some of his jokes got out. He has told me many many stories of other folks getting the same treatment. There was a big what to do over it a couple years ago thst involved comics at colleges.

An obscure joke today, but at the time I laughed until my sides hurt.....

SNL debuts October 2. Whatever you think of the current incarnation, no doubt they'll have a tribute, especially with the two guys on Update being so cognizant of the legacy they are part of.

This is one of those times Norm was live tweeting golf and Rick Reilly popped one off to Norm and Norm just absolutely buried him.

Norm at the ESPYs is the most brutal roast of famous people, it's amazing. He was not invited back

Massively underrated movie. If you're a fan of norm and haven't seen it, do yourself a favor.

I was watching this last night with my daughter asleep on my side and I'm shocked she didn't wake up. I was able to keep from laughing audibly but my body was shaking, I just couldn't stop it. Norm was special, I also loved his telling of bad jokes for about 5 solid minutes of the Bob Saget roast.

Any kid from the 90s had the privilege of watching the finest lineup in the history of SNL. I can remember staying up with my friends so we could just sit there and watch him on Weekend Update. Farley was my favorite performer, but Norm was my favorite cast member. Bob Dole on The Real World is another personal favorite. He seems to also be one of the truly revered comedians of all time. When you see him with people like Seinfeld and Letterman, he's got them already, with just a look. He could have the biggest names in comedy eating out of the palm of his hand. There was no guy like him. Download his podcast episodes and listen, seriously.

I'll close with one of my favorite jokes of his.

They say that gambling addiction is a disease. Well that may be true, but it's also the only disease where you can win a whole lot of money.

I always think of this bad beat story from Norm when someone talks about a sports betting loss:

I love that one. He completely put one over on King, who thought very highly of himself.
