to be clear, this would imply that Norm MacDonald was funnier than Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Lewis Black, Andrew Dice Clay, Sam Kinison, Jon Stewart, and Dave Chappelle.. I don’t think so.
Can I see one funny George Carlin bit? I have never heard one bit from him that was funny, I know people like him because they think he's smart, but I always assumed he was funny too but have never actually seen a good joke from him. The only thing I can think of where he even tried to tell a joke was his bit about stuff, which was not funny.
Do they know that he was a conservative, and probably loathed all of them?
Norm ultimately was something of a conservative, but the guy was willing to be friends with anyone regardless of politics (like Sarah Silverman). He never let it define him, and he always was interested in hearing liberal perspectives on his talk show.
More like funniest personality. His stand up was trash. Thats why his popularity peaked with late night appearances and a youtube show
His stand up wasn't great, but I'd still rather hear it than a lot of other supposed stand up greats. His writing and sketch work on SNL will always be underrated. He has some very good ideas (like the Bob Newhart postal sketch, celebrity jeopardy, etc.) and could carry a sketch with his persona like Cobras vs Jets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNzNeGw8Fmo
>Norm ultimately was something of a conservative, but the guy was willing to be friends with anyone regardless of politics
Sure, but that's really not how things work these days. I'm not sure that he would have carried on much longer without getting canceled if he had lived.
The only truly extraordinary thing about Norm was his delivery, not the content of his jokes. And even then, he's a far-cry from being the GOAT.
But he's still funnier than any zoomer comedian I can think of.
I didn't realize he had a legion of super slurpers until I saw him live. The crowd was full of beardy weirdos and a few guys were holding his book. It was bizarre. Really funny guy but yeah people chill the fuck out. It's jokes it's not that serious.
Still to hear a single funny Norm Mcdonald joke. People love aping his supposed amazing style but every segment of his I've watched is lethargic and weak jokes with punchlines out of some airport witty quote book.
His OJ "jokes" are so bad.
>HE WAS THE COMEDIAN'S COMEDIAN! >DUDE, SINCE HE LIKE, YOU KNOW UNLIVED, HE IS SO FUNNY! I MISS HIM! >'LE GREATEST BITS!' >'LE COMEDIAN YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT!' >'THE GENIUS BEHIND LE COMEDIAN LE COMEDIAN!'
All you can do is laugh.
How is it that most people in their 20s didn't know who Norm was back when I used to watch his show in 2017 and recommend his clips but now everybody is hailing him as the GOAT?
It's tiktok and youtube shorts. Video platforms started being more lenient with copyright material and people started cutting up tons of clips of his oneliners and punchlines when they saw channels like imnotnorm and thejaylenofly getting solid consistent views on their longform compilation vids. It all culminated with his "unexpected" death and really put him over at that point.

Weak bait
Dangerfield is funnier than Norm unironically though

It’s not just about being funny, same style as norm, it’s about being critical, spotting irony, and being analytical
Norm is funny though.
correct
I dont know any of those names but I know Norm
Therefore proving that you just listed a bunch nobodies
Dangerfield the only one who comes close.

willing to bet not a single zillennial knew about him before reddit r/funny around 2014
>people… start following comedians in their early teens???
No shit Sherlock
Millennials are unbelievably pathetic and essentially all the traits about boomers are amplified in them
this is true
this is true

In many cases the delivery was the joke. Which is incredibly hard to pull off. Moth joke for the obvious example.
Delivery doesn't really matter in that joke.
>to ever live
he's dead you know
I didn’t even know he was sick!
bingo
good job anon 😉
he's like number 5 after pryor, cosby, redd skelton, and lenny bruce
Zoomers need to stop watching that garbage, these kinds of videos would have been parodied to hell and back in the early days of 'Tube.
Best comedian ever?
Mr. Bean. Easily. I piss myself laughing every time.
Retard tier
Best comedy should appeal to all. Like a clown. No need for anything clever.
made more people have a laugh without even talking stay mad kek
Mr Bean movie from the 00s was so fucking stupid that I couldn't help but love it. The retard fucks up everything he touches lmao like a downie

Contrarian homosexuals the thread
anglocucks have shit taste and spam vlogs on YouTube what else is new

Norm was on SNL. He's not your secret club
People in their 20s didn't watch 90s SNL. I'm saying that he's developed a massive uptick in fans since his death.
It's tiktok and youtube shorts. Video platforms started being more lenient with copyright material and people started cutting up tons of clips of his oneliners and punchlines when they saw channels like imnotnorm and thejaylenofly getting solid consistent views on their longform compilation vids.

Norm Mcdonald voiced cartoon characters
More like funniest personality. His stand up was trash. Thats why his popularity peaked with late night appearances and a youtube show
The greatest comedian without 10 minutes of actual funny content. Male Lilly Singh
>why x is the most important y
>watch the video
>it's just the wiki history of x
That’s the problem with video essays
All stand up comedians are cringe
He isnt the GOAT?
Jesus Christ we love norm but you cunts need to settle down thinking he's the best one to ever live.
i never really got what made norm so legendary
he was charming but he wasn't really hilarious
