    No. It is what it is, a rough draft. Now of course a Norm rough draft is still much better than most peoples finished work but its not up to par with his best stuff.

        His call-ins to Dennis Miller are great as well.

    It was fine. I laughed a few times. It needed a lot of refinement, but I'd rather get what we got than nothing at all. Feels fitting that his last "stand up" joke ever was about how much he loves his mother.

    I love love love Norm. This should never have been aired. Standup needs an audience

      There are boot leg versions of most of these jokes done at small clubs. I love norm but his execution at those clubs was better since it had the audience to help with flowing from one joke to the next.

    It was an amusing chunk of coal but if he polished it it would be a hillarious diamond of a special.

    Norm's standup was never the best part of his shtick, and you could tell he wasn't 100% for this considering he was dying, but it was fine. Wouldn't watch it again, won't remember any joke from it in a few weeks from now, but worth watching.

      Hard disagree, Norm’s standup bit on killing a woman and burying her in the woods is the funniest shit I’ve ever heard

      idk where this “norm’s standup wasn’t that great” meme started but the Hitler’s Dog special on netflix is some of the funniest standup I ever saw
      although, my favourite Norm stuff was definitely Norm MacDonald Live, talk show appearances and stuff

      Every gem spoken came out of his mouth. You're like a child. He asked all the good questions about what they had all just seen.

        why the frick is he asking questions like an interviewer? it's not like norm is there to answer

          He's asking self-proclaimed "friends" of norm about whether they know his process you absolute buffoon. Dave was clearly a fan of Norm's comedy and asked the only good questions, like his process, and the nature of it being without an audience etc. Chapelle was the fricking autist of the group with his mongoloid non-anecdotes and "Whooaa mayne he a jazz or sumthin. I WAS INCONSOLIBLE" what a self-absorbed moron he is.

        >what we just watched…. how would it have been live?

    I don't think it was his best work, but it had no audience. His pace was sped up by not having laugh breaks or pauses. The material was good. He had plenty of call backs and suggestive gags. He poked at trans. He touched on a ton of stuff and his closer was pretty brilliant if you break it down. He knew he was on his way out, so it was easy for him to mislead you. The group therapy at the end was weird. Dave Chappelle said some good stuff, so did Conan. Letterman had too much old man stuff to say. The rest were kinda worthless. Joe Dirt had some stories, i guess. Norm loved Molly for sticking up for him with SNL, but she spoke like twice. Adam seemed high or speechless. It was weird. The actual special was great. One take with no cuts and he never checked any notes. Him playing to an audience would have helped. Now I sound like Letterman.

    Anyone that hasn't listened to most of Norm's material should have no opinion on this matter, especially Zoomers.

    Never was a big fan of his standup (especially not his later stuff) but the talkshow was fantastic and I respect and appreciate him for who he was, so would gladly watch it.. if I had Netflix

    I stoped watching after a few minutes. You can tell he knows the end is close, and I think his act later in his career is really dependent on having a conversation with another person. Norm can say something like, “how green is an evergreen? You know?” Then Conan can just nervously laugh and ask him what he’s talking about.

      Yeah, he needed someone to bounce off on and play with for his greatness to shine.
      I just find his stand-up depressing, especially his later stuff.

    It was pretty average Norm for me. Not his best work, but I laughed a few times. It was made more significant though that he wanted to get his latest work out before he died.

    It was never supposed to be about the jokes, both the producers and the guest mentioned it, I don't understand how you can misunderstand the first thing you're told.
    This special was nothing more than a window into Norm's mind in a difficult part of his life.
    I liked it very much, it was good to hear Norm for one last time, see where he stands on the current sociopolitical issues and most of all it's very much good to see that he still kept his optimism when facing what was for sure a very pushing problem. A great man that accepted his fate gracefully, that's what the special was supposed to be about and to think that it was ever going to be about him telling jokes you'd have to be moronic - not moronic but you'll have to have Down's Syndrome .

    I couldn't watch it was sad because he was by himself in a room, no interaction with a crowd, Adam Eget or Letterman in contrast.

    I'm shocked by how good it was even though it was just him in front of his computer with no audience. Also the way Dave Chappelle talked about him afterwards is sweet.

    stand up sucks. hate the format. humor is best when it appears spontaneous. there is nothing spontaneous about stand up, every single movement is planned and rehearsed. fricking hate it

      I like your take. Stand up taught me one simple rule for jokes that I've taken with me, but other than that I agree.

    Norm by himself was never as funny as Norm interacting with others. I did laugh a few times, his delivery was so good that even shit jokes became funny. The other part with all his "friends" was terrible. It's funny that most of them were there because they have Netflix deals. Letterman was terrible
