Hearing Norm do update unlocks a core memory I didn't know exists. My parents use to watch SNL when I was growing up, and this takes me right back. A warm nostalgia.

Most accurate and honest news reporting in the modern era. A sane, hilarious and reasonable man from the long past zenith of western civilization. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Macdonald.
Thanks for putting this together. I had a mundane, hours-long home project to do and this was just what I needed to play in the background. Made it a lot easier--

I definitely love that these jokes work even if you don't get the references (1. They are well written enough as fake news so as to make sense hearing them for the first time, and 2. They are universally funny and accessible), but oh it is a lot of fun to listen and remember those times and occasionally to remember seeing Norm do this live. I miss when live TV mattered!
Confession; I did not like Norm at first. I really liked Dennis Miller. Kevin Nealan was dry (took me a while). After a few episodes I warmed up. Now, he is up there at the top for me. Such a cruel world; Norm has left and OJ still remains, sipping drinks in the shade at the Golf Course, edit; day dreaming and gloating about how he got away with it, but deserves more Love. Norm HAD to laugh at that one:)

I am a idiot for never knowing Norm existed until a week ago. I saw a short and loved him instantly and before watching anything else I looked for any tours coming up in the UK. Elation to devastation within 5 minutes. He was on another level.
No one, living or dead, will ever be funnier than Norm MacDonald. He was the best comedian who has ever lived. And no one who has yet to be born, is gonna be funnier than Norm.
Robin & George are in league of their own, which would never include Norm. Norm was great in his own right, but he was on such a different and smaller level than Robin Williams & George Carlin. Not even close. Even Richard Pryor was on a much higher level than Norm.
@@user-tw5tm6it2m He was on a small stage because he preferred a more intimate atmosphere. Norm could have filled Madison Square Garden if he wanted to.
I used to look forward to watching Weekend Update every Saturday night/Sunday morning right after commercial break around 12:03AM. Love him now more than ever. RIP Norm. ❤
" It used to be when someone died you'd say "Oh,that old man died." Now its "He lost his battle." Uh,what a loser that guy was.The last thing he did was lose.He was fighting a brave battle but at the end I guess he got kind of cowardly.But you gotta give it to the battle cancer..Also,and I'm sure that when you die,the cancer also dies.So that to me is not a loss but a draw."..Norm Macdonald...
It’s so telling that when I read this joke to myself, i giggle ever so slightly. But put these words into the mind of Norm MacDonald and I can’t stop laughing.
Not really the same without seeing his face, because his expressions were part of his delivery. His expression could make you laugh as much as the jokes. His comedy was about truth. He said it was not a good idea, or really truthful, to make fun of someone who you completely disagreed with politically. I think he was a libertarian or at least a conservative.. He was a big fan of George W. Bush. I think he also wrote a lot of the comedy for The Norn Show. I only wish he had shared with the world that he was dying of cancer. It was a shock to a lot of people.
@@AndreRingkjoeb I feel like I should know it. But my exhausted brain can’t pull it up. I send my youngest back to the Navy tomorrow so I’m just enjoying the last night with him.
I will never forget that april snowstorm... I had no money. I was a teenager coming home from a punk show at the Rat, but needed to be home for easter. I took a taxi from boston and jumped out and ran . Nobody could see 4 inches from your face anyway. Thank you Taxi Driver.
One of Norm's jokes: "I'm not afraid of Iraq, Iran, or North Korea. The one country I'm afraid of is Germany. I don't know if you guys are history buffs, but they went to war against the entire world, TWICE, and it was CLOSE."
This video would be better served to those who watch it to provide some actual video. I seek to understand why this is not the case. Incidentally, Norm was a genius.
You probably would agree that it involves copyright law. A rebroadcast of the actual performance would clearly be an infringement. The audio alone could be argued not to infringe on copyright. law is weird.
Thanks, it tough now a days all these people and their fancy book learnin. This makes it easier. I wonder if this Norm fella still does these new segments?
Who would have thought at the time that GI Jane was going to result in the dialogue that lead to Will Smith's infamous slap to Chris Rock, a former SNL cast member himself? Crazy days...
Kavorkian was an ironic tale, he was committed to assist those who were dying with dying "peacefully", but after receiving a terminal diagnosis of kidney cancer, he fought like hell to live and died of a thrombosis issue... Lol. Irony.
You forget that people wanted to make their own choices as to how to die...with dignity. Dr. Kevorkian didn't want to die, at least not in pain. Those people who insisted on endless years of life support? If their family members who were in comas truly believed they had a chance of reviving and had expressed that opinion without bankrupting their families-go for it. But for two sides of a family (spouse vs parents), knowing how much everything costs? Very few inmates on Death Row willingly go down. In the state systems, it takes 15-20 years. What happens to those who are innocent? A very few have waived their appeal options (the Oklahoma bomber (168 victims) plus other federal Death Row inmates. It's difficult to understand suicide. I think sometimes they're selfish if they aren't sick. Had a co-worker who left a note saying it was his wife's fault. He always claimed she was mentally ill, but who sets up a scenario in their house for the wife to find? People also function like they'll live eternally. We know better. I would like for everyone to live HAPPILY. But getting out of here alive? Not a reasonable option.
Not a huge fan of Norm’s weekend update tenure. Where I thought Norm excelled was when he played off others, most notably Conan or ‘90’s Dennis Miller. His gift was spontaneous ad-lib humor. The interview with Conan and Courtney Thorne-Smith where Norm hijacked the conversation is probably the most enjoyable bit I’ve ever witnessed on TV.
Point of fact Chinese money was what he was originally supposed to be impeached about. Then they discovered the entire Democratic and many Republicans had taken China campaign money
Hi! I've made a version of your two Norm videos in which I've removed all of the hiss and audio noise that was audible in the background. I was hoping to get the file to you so you can post a clean version of this. You can find me in the 'About' section of my channel. If you're not interested in posting it yourself, I'll be happy to put it up, crediting these two videos as the source.
@@Sanimation24 I'll put it up now! I edit videos using the simple progams Videopad and Wavepad - with VP I was able to strip out the audio track and save it as a new file, then with WP I used noise reduction to grab the hiss from a part of the track with no other sound, then removed that sound from the rest of the file. Then I just reencoded them back together!
If you have to “seek”. To understand Norm’s humor, you won’t succeed. The comedian was so obvious the occasional little chuckle Norm created was many times met with disappointed expectations. There in the laugh.
Hearing Norm do update unlocks a core memory I didn't know exists. My parents use to watch SNL when I was growing up, and this takes me right back. A warm nostalgia.
There's only one thing that could keep me from loving Norm Mcdonald videos. You guessed it...Frank Stallone!

Perfect comment. Thank you and have a gr8 day.

yep 75% of what he does in this recording wouldn't be _allowed_ now.
Another Canadian comic gem! You’re a legend Norm. You will be sorely missed but always remembered with a huge laugh.
Who is the other one?
j/k😂
I forgot how great he was! Brilliant writer and comedian.
I gotta sit here and stare at Frank Stallone for three hours?
You guessed it!
Hahaha
My mom had this same photo and it was signed by him.
I was listening while working; I didn’t even notice until half way through.
Only if you want to be entertained
Best update ever with Norm. He actually used “fake” news then.
you're very observant.
I thought dan ackroyd was vreat. Not.
Yeah we can see the even Trump was a fan of Norm.
President Trump and Norm actually have very similar comedy. Saying factual things in a funny way that other people are scared to say.

Death? Thats funny I didn't even know he was sick.
You know you are old when you listen to Norm’s fake news and not only get all the references but also laugh
I'm super young, I don't get any of the references, and I still laugh. I can only imagine how much funnier it is when you do understand it.
