He was telling people he had colon cancer through his jokes. As a colon cancer survivor he describe the exact symptoms that sent me to the hospital before i was diagnosed. RIP norm he remained strong till the end.
Me too, that part had me laughing so much. Some of the things I’ve heard in meetings just floors me. It’s amazing how many people have killed someone, usually driving accidents while intoxicated, and only serve a few years.
@@zack_iamWhy?? You now recognise the person who made the comment? You can tell who they are, where they go to AA meetings and everybody else that goes??
so sad to hear him describe the bowel pains. he is clearly speaking from experience. man he must have suffered so much in total silence while making the whole world laugh. Norm was an enlightened being, he did his job well.
@@aaronschutte7160 it’s not worth the arguing in comments. Let the man just appreciate Norm and leave the disease model discussion to more serious content
@@peanutbutterdijonnaise I would have gladly done that if it weren't for the quotes. He used the quotes for a reason, to send a message. He knew exactly what he was doing, and it goes FAR beyond just appreciating Norm. Read between the lines.
Nothing like coming across Norm to brighten your day- and laugh hysterically while you're at it. The world is a better place for Norm having been in it.
Norm had said a few times he was afraid to die. Of course nobody knew at the time what he was going through. I'd imagine those last days were tough. I hope he knew how much joy he gave others
Norm MACdonald as letterman says it, is my all time favorite, I re watch his stand up, and his late show clips, he's one of the best guest's on the Conan show and letterman, and his opening monologue at the espy's is classic norm, he was the type of guy that would say anything, just flat out hilarious. The fact that he never revealed that he was battling cancer fits him so well. He had a bit about a guy that had cancer and that in the end the cancer won, he said it was weird that the last thing they say about the guy is he lost his battle with cancer, so the last thing he did was lose and that they are calling him a loser, ( I definitely didn't do his joke justice but it's funny AF when he tells it) don't worry norm nobody thinks you're a loser, you were a stand up guy and someone that millions of people admired and loved. Thanks for all the laughs you gave us and continue to give me.
Crying from laughing Even tho I’ve seen bits fifteen times already. I often listen to Norm when I’m having trouble getting to sleep … it puts things in perspective.
Fuck Norm is funny. He was on SNL when I was 12 years old. Thats when I discovered comedy. Him and Will Ferrell made me laugh my ass off. I really wish we got an old senile Norm. I can't even imagine how funny that would be

Watching Dave genuinely laughing at Norm's stories says it all. I grew up watching Dave, he's the best. Late nite has been a wasteland since Dave retired. Conan is the only one that carried the torch. Fallon is a sad commentary on late night, he's a sad little Sycophant.
Absolute GENIUS because he could tackle so many taboo topics and blow 'em up so well and so creatively. Thanks NORM! - for a lifetime of funny I will revisit regularly. Being able to do that long story on Letterman (then many times on Conan) was a huge thing. Break the rules and pull of something only a handful of others have done well.
"I don't do alcohol or booze, hardest drug I've ever done LSD" norm was such a genius to point out that LSD is less harmful than the other drugs, that is such a great joke
Don't know how many times I have seen these jokes but still enjoy as much as I laughed the first time... N after few weeks or months I m back on Norm Macdonald marathon...no doubt greatest comic of all time
3:30 , we find out now he was the Uncle , and his stomach cancer was likely the fuel for that 'joke' about searing stomach pain 😢 Norm you are a LEGEND 💯
By that “logic”, he must have really met those 2 midgets in Vegas, he must have really given a live tortoise to a drunken patron while he was a bar tender and he must have had Andy richter buy him breakfast with money Andy earned being a male escort.
I'll always think of that joke. I sent this pic of a firefighter memorial that looked like a dick from behind between a couple of pillars to my good friend and said, Kinda reminds you of that one tragedy. His parents called me a couple hours later to tell me they just found him dead on his floor.
@@Bonez0rsame for me, I was watching a ton of Norm stuff and all the sudden in the comments there it was. I’ve never scrambled to get to google faster, I was hoping so bad that it was a joke because with Norm fans you never know. Sadly this time it was not 😢
Norm is the King. I saw him around 1988 live at Yuk Yuks before he started becoming famous. I didn't realize I was watching the early days of a legend.
Please Please, Lotd above, let my memory fade just enough that I never run out of fresh Norm McDonald comedy, even at the expense of losing my Buddhist depth of cool.
I remember seeing SNL when Norm said "fuck" live on the air. Immediately after he caught himself and said, "In this weeks news SNL comedian Norm Macdonald fired this week for cursing live on television". Oh man, one of tv's greatest moments.

About the dirty names on drinks, back here in Sweden was a drink called orgasm, they had it at most bars, i really liked it, so i ordered it at a bar that was run by an asian couple that didnt speak Swedish that very well, anyway, i ordered an orgasm and the lady asked, "What's an orgasm?" ... i thought that was funny.

Can i date her
That’s awesome 🤣 I can’t wait til my daughters older to show her some norm jokes 😅

“If I happen to die in the hallway, stay the hell away from me” is a great punchline.
Im sure almost all of us have heard all these jokes many times but the genius of Norm is they are as funny the 50th time as they where the first.
Listening to Norm’s Late Show Appearances make me feel happy
I miss Norm he was great
No one can compare to his natural comedic genius!
@Joseph Bowles he appeared to be a cross between Letterman and Newman.
and the worst part is that we will never know where he got his ideas for the jokes
I didn't even know he was sick
I bet his dog house was glorious!
I never saw that necrophilia bit at the the end. I am dying 😂! And you befter stay the hell away from me if I do!

Let's be clear here, Norm battled the cancer to a draw.
His stand up skit on alcoholism is one of the best stand up routines ever,so funny.
one of the best ever. Period.
Miss you norm and thanks for giving us all a part of you every time you went up on stage we're all forever grateful.
The way he tells stories always draws me in.
That is my favorite stand-up of Norm's. He was killing that night. RIP Norm. ❤

Nobody can do what norm did. Genius 😂
This is not a rant, this is a compilation. Every time you make a video with a clickbait title, a little girl falls off her bike.
LoL

He didn’t lose his battle with cancer. Ultimately, they came to a draw.
