@@oswaldocontreras1507 you are a dumbass. Like in real life. All the time. Im sorry you have this condition following you around. I honestly wish you the best.
He is literally my inspiration for most conversations I have now. I have been stealing his delivery style as well as I can. I honestly think Norm was the best comedian I have ever seen.
@ptptpt123 Norm makes it look easy and, it's not easy...welcome to the club buddy. We only wish we could be this funny. Maybe in another life. Great comment. I really appreciate it when I read a comment that mirrors my thoughts
Love Norm, but the riddle makes no sense.. this mans (my) father is my fathers son, would mean that the father is the father of the father himself.. the father is his own son? Also the more i hear his gay stories/jokes and the way he says them and the fact that is it Norm who says them, makes me think he really is gay.. that would be the most brilliant Norm-gag he had ever pulled off..
@@gingerbaker_toad696 brothers and sisters I have none(stating he’s an only child) but this mans(the guy in question)’ father is my fathers’ son(himself). The riddle makes sense. The joke is the second half of him playing the idiot, with many layers of jokes inlaid. He’s brilliant.
Ever since I saw this interview every time I do a voice I do a one liner explaining my choice of voice over like "It's a woman ya know ... high voice."
This is awesome thanks for posting. I have to admit though I think Norm's best Conan appearance was the episode with Courtney Thorne Smith when he was sick. Classic Norm.
@@jedinxf7 the cancer motivated him to be the fearless comedian he was. Kinda like Walter White but with comedy and not meth (he was hilarious even when healthy of course)
No, it's the teller of the joke. He's "this man" who is his father's son. Otherwise, there is no riddle, and no joke. Like the uncle in the joke when he gets back to his wife, you are telling it wrong.
@@acidgroove101 , nope, but this seems to be a common mistake. The correct solution is easy to see once you replace the phrase "is my father's son" by "is me". You can do that because he has no brothers. So it boils down to: "This man's father IS ME" Meaning: The man in question ("this man") is indeed his son.
@@toyfabrik2993 Yeah, I realize that Norm must have changed it to facilitate the punchline: "Some f___in' cab driver in New York." It wouldn't work as well, if it was"Some f___in' cab driver's son..."😉 And yet, as you say a lot of people, including me, didn't notice, and Conan played along ("Yeah, that makes sense.") Norm is just so convincing, lol.
The actual riddle is: "A man is holding a phtograph and says 'brothers and sister I have none, but this man father is my fathers son"; who is in the photograph?" and the answer is the man holding the initial photograph.
"Jean-Luc is gonna come by... my crazy frenchman uncle. So he gets in the cab, right? And the cab driver picks him up and he says "Hey frenchman, 'he says uh'... do you like riddles." He says "ah yes I like the riddles." "
"I wanna see Shaun that guys hilarious" norm like the master comedian, intentionally making it harder on the next guy by having the audience expect jokes
How ridiculous was that but the story didn't matter😂 Also how ridiculous the name is going to be will determine how silly his joke is, hard to understand the guy
@@nayannbg6314 he revealed in an interview that he only writes the opening and the punchline but just improvises a story that doesn’t make sense and carries it on as long as he wants.
Its so fun to rehear these old Norm jokee and also, it shows he knows Quebec becuase his accent of a french Quebecer speaking is spot-on. RIP you magnificent bastard
Conan: This is like Chaucer Norm: Yeah, old English People who don't understand Norm MacDonald don't understand how fucking intelligent he really is. His entire deal is pretending to be the idiot, when in reality he is incredibly well read and has studied the art of comedy more than anyone else. You either get him or you don't, and if you don't, unfortunately you're not an intelligent person.
@@DarioHernandezFilms I guess Conan was making fun of the way Norm describes things, Norm was talking about their "dirty arses", which is kind of British slang, so Conan said "wow like Chaucer". Norm immediately said "Old English" which shows he at least knows about Chaucer. But I've heard and seen many accounts from people who said Norm was always reading books, especially Russian authors like Dostoevsky... actually one of his most imfamous jokes about the moth and the pediatrist's office references a lot of Russian names... he was very well read but he understood that a comics role is to pretend like you're stupid. Norm was always the smartest person in the room however, and would take the audience on a wild ride just for his own amusement.
@uk6strings I like how Norm just tells it like it is and is not over the top. He isn't necessarily looking for a laugh when says things. They are just true observations that are presented in a straight forward matter. The fact that he can make people laugh with such nonchalance is what makes him a true genius.
It has nothing to do with Norm being right or wrong. Norm is just recounting a situation in which a cabdriver (not a professional riddler) F's up a riddle and then how the French Canadian uncle F's ups the cabdrivers F-up.
I've never seen Conan laugh so much. Norm is the comedian's comedian. Way too funny.
👍👍
Norm was a guest on his show more times than any other guest. They had a very special relationship.
Bill Burr and Conan. The same but a different comedy style.
@@nyChannel09 yeah Bill's the only other guy up there. He's hilarious. Both have made me wheeze and cry laughing
@@John.Christopher Yeah you can tell how conan actually enjoys being with either bill or norm on air
"And they were like, uh, you know, Mr. Homophobe here won't let a dude grind his ass"
I laughed so hard
the way he laughs in the middle of the joke, it's so devilishly charming 😂
cant get enough of this guy. he's so hypnotizing
still true
Like nosferatu
Something to his eyes, locked in the gaze.
Are you feathering it brother?
@@offensivediscourse8514 Trying real hard to be edgy gen z?
If Norm replaced Andy on the couch I'd never miss an episode of Conan
Andy is fvckin awesome
Norm is great but he's no Swedish-German
Norm would like you OJ to miss every episode of Norm because of you Norm got fired for SNL 😆
He should have replaced Conan
Oh man, Conan wouldn't have been able to do the show. No guest would have come on cuz he would have upstaged the lot of them.
Every interview...I mean every interview Norm kills.....He makes most of the talk show hosts laugh like little school girls...
Change "most" to "all"... NOW, fucker. You're a real jerk!
@@oswaldocontreras1507 you are a dumbass. Like in real life. All the time. Im sorry you have this condition following you around. I honestly wish you the best.
I like how he plays 5D chess with the youthful porpoise joke and and the joke is really on the host. Comedy just oozes out of everything he says.
Apart from old stone face Kimmel.
I also love how on his own talk show he do the most of the talking, otherwise it would be a real bummer!😂😂
Love Norm's French-Canadian accent.
"BRUH-ddurs, and sis-turs, I have none"
It's bang on!
@@schmingusss Definitely perfect.
He lived in Québec for a while I think?
His whole youth till like 20 in a super french area @@melanierozon595
"It got to be too much, I'm looking to lay down." LMFAO 3:40
Andy's funny too
the only way to survive Norm is to take the joke up a notch....and that's only surviving him
Norm is just fucking hilarious. "Dirty arses" may be one of the best things he ever said :D
"Like Chaucer" Haha
Durty orses
i love when he throws in stuff like 'dirty arses' - who else would've said that?
any canadian
I say arses all the time. It's a Canadian thing :)
It's not a Canadian thing wtf where do you guys live
Australians.
Wow, it's been 10 years since your comment. How are you doing? How's life?
Norm MacDonald is always hilarious.
These two are so great together. Norm brings out the BEST Conan, and vice versa.
5:50 that laugh is the best goddamn thing i've heard in my entire pathetic riddled-with-misery meagre existence.
Whoever you are, I love you.
We would get along great.
And we had such good promise and high hopes....
I hope you're a little less miserable than you were
😂😂😂
"You sit on a couch for a living. You should think about not giving that up."
"Some cab driver back in New York." The obvious answer. I could see it coming but I couldn't get out of the way.
"Some F___ing cab driver back in New York." With Norm's comedy, every word is important.
He is literally my inspiration for most conversations I have now. I have been stealing his delivery style as well as I can. I honestly think Norm was the best comedian I have ever seen.
I try and fail copying his style
General Sam, a TH-camr, he's taken a lot of inspiration from Norm Macdonald. Mainly the delivery, a mix of dead pan with a slight cheeky smirk.
I wish I couldn't relate
I get so happy when I am telling a story and randomly generate a punchline in Norm's energy. I feel he is the best as well❤
@ptptpt123 Norm makes it look easy and, it's not easy...welcome to the club buddy. We only wish we could be this funny. Maybe in another life. Great comment. I really appreciate it when I read a comment that mirrors my thoughts
Its criminal that this only has 247k views. Norm is, was and will always be The funniest dude out there.
These same videos are posted by all kinds of different TH-cam accounts. They probably have millions of views collectively.
Amen
Norm is the best. Just the best.
I'll never stop watching Norm
What goes on in his head? He's brilliant
Intense brilliance of fast synapses ( answer) bjl

Where does he get his ideas from?
Norm is one of a kind. Love him so.
These interviews are hidden gems, most of what I’ve found so far are from the last years or old bites. Is the same yet different
“She’s a woman; high voice …”
Lmao
Norm was the best, and will forever be the best.
Norm was a force of nature. Rest well sir. See you soon.
LOL I love how genuinely shocked he is once he realizes he dropped a bomb on network tv LOL
He didn't, his uncle did
Couldn’t they just bleep it? There was a delay button wasn’t there?
What is this 44p?
no it was uploaded in 2008

RIP norm....one of my idols
Norm always delivers the goods. And they're always top-tier goods.
Gone forever but forever loved 🥰 the one and only Norm MacDonald👌
That joke was HILARIOUS! It's all in the delivery. LOL.
Norm: and he flies all the way back home there to uh gaspè
Norm: heh heh heh
🤣🤣
I think he realizes he's just said Gaspé three times, probably the only three times it's ever been uttered on network TV, and the last.
With Norm giving only Celestial performances - there is significantly less laughter in the earthly realm
Ever since I saw this interview every time I do a voice I do a one liner explaining my choice of voice over like "It's a woman ya know ... high voice."
I do too😂.I know I'm over a decade late on your comment, but it still works. If not only to entertain myself. Norm was brilliant

You are a legend my guy
I have seen this clip before, and I knew the joke, but he just cracks me up the way he tells it. Norm Macdonald is the best... seriously underrated.
Great to see Norm so youthful
5:50 is the moment he realises he's going to add F**king in to the joke.

4:50, I just realized Norm reused a Ole and Sven joke called Indian Bar game
My man! I love him!

The solution to the cab-driver's riddle is not "it's me" but "it's my son".

He's very, very...verrrry funny.
Wouldn't the answer to the riddle be, "My son?" Hilarious, though
no he's right
Yes, precisely. Norm does this a lot, throw in mangled names and references and other inaccuracies, not sure exactly why, but it works.
The punchline at the end wouldn’t work without the answer to the riddle being “me”
No.
"This man's father is my fathers son" is an impossible proposition. That's just a little Easter egg.
