Norm is a comedic genius, without question. He is an acquired taste, for me at least, but once you get that his delivery is slightly above a Bob Newhart realm, you get it.
One time I met Norm on the outskirts of Medynsky and he says, he says, he says to me, he says, "I'm not Norm." He wasn't Norm. Didn't even look like him.
I honestly don't know if the scrabble story really happened or if it's just one of his terrible jokes, but I was still laughing like a drain at the end!
Just how did ol' Harold Delaney get a Scrabble game with three "B" tiles in it? Two used in RABBIT and one in BOOT. Your standard Scrabble game has two "B" tiles. And we know that there were no blanks used, since those were missing. I never heard tell of a Scrabble game like this.
That whole scrabble story. Killing Dave,the whole time. No punchline!.. Didn't matter 50 big laughs on the way to no punchline. Which of course,was the punchline.
The perfect punchline to that story would have been the revelation by Norm that he was at the wrong address and wasnt at some Bed & Breakfast but just some old guy's house!
How he does it. I guess you tell a story from the most annoying perspective, much like me Bean, thinking your a 10 year old, slightly retarded, bullied and anxious for attention and company. And then you mix in another character, either weird or normal to provide contrast. Let it all grow tedious and boring and ask really stupid questions to the audience. And after all this setup, you skip the punchline. It is a lot like Monty Python.
The more I hear about this norm macdonald fella the more I care for him
Tolate😊
Well played sir
Norm is definitely not a jerk
The more I hear about that Hitler fella, the less I care about him- seems like he was a real jerk.
Me too
I've got an image of Norm and Harold Delaney sitting on a cloud with their angel wings and harps, playing the strangest game of Scrabble ever.
Sharing a couple of egg mcmuffins
😂😂😂
With a double word score bonus for any key word from a Norm’s most famous jokes, such as “whore,” “pedophile” and “moth.”
Looking down, watching their friends getting raped by the devil.
That's frickin hysterical !!! lmao
Even though I am in my mid fifties, I am just discovering Norm McDonald. What an amazing talent!
I'm very excited for you!
Better late than never. He was a fascinating man. I keep coming back to his bits for laughs and relief.
“You never heard tell of a BOOT?!” 😂
Norm sets up a joke like he's setting up a Rube Goldberg machine.
Part of the process is just getting there.
"I don't want fancy things, or fancy-shmancy things. I don't even want fancy-shamancy-wancy things. Or fancy-shamamcy-take-a-trip-to-Francy things. What I want is wasting your time and mine."
@@cmmmmmmmwAndy Richter said it best: “it’s like he takes you on like a few mile walk to show you a dog turd.”
That first joke is like the oldest joke ever and yet I’m sitting here laughing like a maniac. Best delivery ever!! Love you, Norm. ❤
Closes I see is maybe bob newhart on delivery lol

How can you not love Norm?
Only if you are OJ Simpson
Because your name is Don Ohlmeyer
sounds like a good way to get known as Phil the Norm-lover

I’ve never heard a better scrabble story before or since

Nobody did it like Norm! I miss him so much!

What amazes me about the computer is anybody can type whatever stupid shit they want into it
A genius? What, is he really good at math or something?
@@pandavelli8176 He invented a new way of talking called NormSpeak
@@etymonlegomenon931 You mean sarcasm?
Absolutely. I have only just discovered him - I'm from NZ - but he is one seriously funny guy.
Total genius
One after another,he destroys the host. All of them . dying laughing
Man Norm was like 40 years ahead of him time!
Or so the germans would lead you to believe.
Man, we're missing out on so much great content because of Norm's untimely death. That old chunk of coal.
Norm was doing his best standup in the last few years. Treasure !!!!!
@@MrBMXTOTHEMAXagree.
I didn’t even know he was sick!
No one like NORM ....RIP .... Thanks for the laughs 😂😢❤❤❤❤❤
such a sad world we live in... Norm spent his whole live developing that crazy wize old man persona... and we never got to see it :(
Ahhhh, man. What we've missed.
@@patrickbarry6273 its the hypocracy ov this that i just cant stand....
I miss Norm
Conan, Letterman, Stern, and Dennis Miller did not seem to get enough of Norm.
They would always keep inviting him to their shows.
One time I met Norm on the outskirts of Medynsky and he says, he says, he says to me, he says, "I'm not Norm."
He wasn't Norm. Didn't even look like him.
It was just some old guy in a white suit?
Only norm and Chris elliot can make Dave laugh
He was a comedic genius - the world lost someone very special far too early.
Jay Leno..."the funniest guy I know."........Dave Letterman from earlier times, available on YOU TUBE
He almost had to die young. It somehow made his comedy come full circle; it all makes complete sense in hindsight.
61 is not young in my book.
61 is a ripe old age for a night comic
@@MarioMonge-fg1de 😆
@@MarioMonge-fg1defor sure😊
He died ?
I wonder if Norm would find Desantos to be a deeply closeted gay man with no dog house and a goat😮
Who’s that?
Please come back to Life, Norm, we really miss you xx
I honestly don't know if the scrabble story really happened or if it's just one of his terrible jokes, but I was still laughing like a drain at the end!
Are they terrible if you laugh?
I thought I heard all of Norm's jokes.....that goat builder joke was great
you ever heard tell of this norm mack donald feller?
You know?!?!
Pretty sure ol Harold Delaney is my Dad.
1:00 Wait i just saw Paul Mcartney tell the exact same joke recently…
YA OUGHTA PLAY SOME SCRABBLE!!
I wish I had the chance to have a turkey with Norm.
He's one if those guys you don't realize that you love until Thier gone.Never thought about until boom.
Every single day. That’s how often I miss this old chunk of coal.
Normie. Normie, Normie, Normie......Normie.
Hockey normie
He says, he says
I just ordered a norm t shirt his story telling jokes are 🪙🥇
Love norm

Imagine if he did do the 1650 instead? Man oh man what a world
❤Norm and Dave❤
Norm and sean lock both passing away within 30 days of each other was such a travesty...
Man, he didn't even move wirh Dave.

The story is supposed to sound just unlikely enough
Never added to an existing word? Eg, add an "oot" to rabbit ?
@@js2010ish the best part is that the original comment will still get 7k likes despite being completely founded upon a false assumption lol
@@DeckofLies This fella's never heard tell of a boot before. Meanwhile we're the type spelling complicated seven letter words like avocado!
He probably spelled it with an inverted 'p' letter...
Norma was a red bull has winger was just seventeen if you know know what I mean
I wonder if there really was a Harold delaney running a bed and breakfast
It was just some old guy's house.. Norm had the wrong address!
That one with Letterman was a joke with no punchline.
I'd like to think old Harold Delaney is a real person, bought he's probably passed by now along with Norm.
sad hes only getting the recognition he deserves NOW... he wouldnt want that
No, now, I instantly recognized Norm every time I ever saw him.
Genius.
Yeah he must be good at math or science
A different version of the goat joke, by Paul McCartney: th-cam.com/video/GQjM5qsVryw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gNmAKTwetGS_Kipy
Norm was not insane. Quit using that word inappropriately.
Yeah, you're right.
hahaaha a LONG setup for one stupid punch. damn i miss him.
Don’t ask from your country, but what you can do for your country every time we do something like this it’s money we pay for tax doesn’t make sense

Norms a riot the MC's are not funny at all.
I wish I had a TH-cam channel. Then I could steal videos and set up a merch store and profit off the genius of others.
Norm’s dead now
You gotta change the title of this video...
His last name is MacDonald, singular.
It's "MacDonald's," not "MacDonalds'"
