Norm was a savage. Jim Breuer told a story of Rosie O’Donnell hosting SNL back in the day. Everyone was kissing her ass the whole time. Norm said “everyone’s running around giving Rosie O’Donnell flowers….I didn’t even know you could eat flowers.” Lmfao. Guy was awesome.
@@therealwilfreddierkes9980 You never know, Norm could have dropped that joke to her in his typical fashion. Either way, a guy can wish Norm was a legend. Gone too soon
@@thecommie739 Yeah. That bit was great. Something like: "I don't want everyone to be happy at my funeral. You are supposed to be sad at my funeral...because it is a FUNERAL!" Then he does that wry smile of his that just seems to bring peace to everyone who was around him, no matter what he was joking about, be it dark or bright.
Norm kept his illness a secret until the very end. Didn't use it for pity, or fame, or sympathy. Just soldiered through in silence, until it was time to go. Legendary!
I think he did it as a final laugh for his friends. He gave so many hints to it in his jokes, I can just imagine one of them rewatching it and chuckling over him being a bastard. Dave Chapelle may be the best comedian, but Norm was the *only* comedian for comedians.
@@zeusdarkgod7727Norm also had a great eye for talent, he loved Patrice O'Neal and Dave Chappelle, and all three of those guys are my favorite, just brave and unapologetically funny.
"I used to think Dave Chappelle was the next Pryor. Now I think he's the next MLK." --- Norm Macdonald This really choked me up. I bet Dave really teared up when he heard this. What an amazing honor. R.I.P Norm
To pose for a photo knowing you won't be around much longer for your friend who doesn't know just to keep things 'light' allowed others to see their 'light'....legendary
"Why do you go to church?" "Because it makes me feel good" There is a deep wisdom in almost everything Norm tells. If I could ever meet any celebrity for a chat, it would be Norm. Rest easy Normy
I must say Dave Chappelle has such warmth and depth to him. I both admire both him and Norm. This was a heart warming video. I did not know they were friends! Nice!
He was truly unique. It seemed like he never cared about being famous or even getting laughs. He just wanted to enjoy doing what he loved and amuse himself. His confidence was God level and I'm sure hes making God uncomfortable questioning him about his system right now lol.
When Bowie, Prince , and Lemmy from Motörhead passed away in a 3 month period, I took it hard. When DMX passed away from that MF 19shot, I was absolutely devastated. When NORM passed so surprisingly, I pretty much lost my mind. I am such a fan, since his 1st weekend update when I was a kid to being obsessed with everything he did as I grew up, to discussing with my Father what a genius he is during the ONE time in decades I was invited to have dinner with my parents(I'm the black sheep, who would've thunk it ...yup u guessed it, Frank Stallone), NORM's passing was DEVASTATING. I cried a lot and it is NOT because I am a Lady. It is because some battle-axes have to drop it at times. Much love to all who love NORM ❣️
Screwed is such an underrated movie. I was a fan of that movie as a pre-teen before I even knew who Chappelle was. Too many legends in that film. RIP Norm Macdonald.
Norm was 1 in 100 billion - he never kowtowed and always focused on the primary job of a comedian: being funny - often in obtuse, absurd or unexpected ways - and always with an impish grin and a good heart. I didn't realise how much the world needed a voice like his until he was gone, and his voice will be sorely missed. RIP Norm, and thanks for all the laughs - your TH-cam videos are the greatest antidepressant known to man!
I remember hearing norm had died and id only became a real fan within the last few years or so but man I couldnt get it off my mind lying down in bed, couldnt get past it so sad
Same here. I'd been going through a rough patch and whenever I wanted cheering up I'd go and watch Norm. Was a punch in the guts when I heard the news of his passing.
I used to stay up late as a young girl and sneak watch SNL to watch Norm do the weekend update. My Dad would be laughing..so I KNEW our guy was on. I was standing around the corner to the den, quietly trying not to laugh and get in trouble. He went so hard and never gave a fuck.. whattaMan.... And turns out, my Father knew I was watching.and most definitely approved. Several years ago he told me that MacDonald and Chapelle are the two funniest and most clever people in the world. I agreed and we have been closer ever since then.
I've been alive long enough to mourn the loss of Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx, George Carlin and Don Rickels. Norm still hit me pretty hard. The man was an amazingly talented comedian because of his matter of fact way of talking. Everyone identified with him. Rest in Peace Norm.
Comedians usually know each other's bits, they can see where it's going. But when you see other comedians and entertainers with Norm, they're simultaneously excited and nervous because they really have no idea what he's going to say. When he's setting something up, even other comedians really don't know where he's going with it. But you can see that they're waiting for the punch line. I think that's why he was a comedian's comedian. He was constantly surprising and refreshing even to other pro comics.
Yeah... it makes me feel really, really dumb and ungrateful -.- Good thing is, I try to look harder now and make out the gems of today so I don't make the same mistake again.
Rest in peace Norm. Have watched you since I was young. I never felt you got the recognition you deserved, but really think you were ahead of your time. One of the all time greats in my opinion. You probably would have hated all of your peers gushing over you, but it was still great to see. This one actually hit me hard.
With all due respect. I want wish my deepest condolences to the Macdonald family. Forgive us if we held on to him to long. But, just like other people we’ve loved. We thought he’d be here forever. May he Rest In Peace
The loved each other. The way men who truly strive within a craft, suffer for that craft and give everything to that craft love each other. Little had to be said between them for the particularities or the personal side of the cost and sacrifice of fame, because they both already know so much about the other through mutual admiration of the craft that they’ve both given their lives too. In the culture war we now live in, these two men were in a foxhole. And that bond can’t be fully understood by anyone else. Norm took that to the next world and Dave, in his brilliance and honesty describes it. We should admire it for cultural relevance it deserves.
I'm glad reading these comments that I'm not the only one tearing up. Two of the absolute best to ever do it. I love finding out about their relationship.
Dude that last tweet at the very end was very touching. I always thought of Norm as a hilarious dude, but didn’t know how cool and humble he was! May that man REST IN PEACEFUL BLISS
That episode was the one when I said "There's something wrong with Norm". He was so lethargic in that episode! But of course, later appearances he was fine, so I thought it was just bad timing-- flu, or something. But I distinctly remember that episode and how out of sorts he was.
Wow. Truly awesome. Screwed is my first goto if I need to laugh after a shit day. Cracks me up every time I watch it. Norm and Dave are alchemists of comedy. Norm's greatest punchline was his death. Just like his jokes, when he dropped the punchline no matter how uncomfortable it was, we were forced to look back at every detail in order to fully see the genus and depth of Norm McDonald. "The light was on". Chappelle is now without a doubt the funniest man alive. Once again speaking truth from the heart no matter how uncomfortable it is and forcing us to revisit and see the depth and genus that is Dave Chappelle. He may not always be right but I can't remember a time he was wrong.
My favourite stand up comic of all time. His delivery made me laugh before he even hit the punchline most of the time. I also loved the fact that he just didn’t GAF if a joke bombed. He would just shrug it off as if saying “if you don’t get it, that’s your problem. I’m the professional. I know what’s funny.” RIP Funny Man. You brought a lot of joy to a lot of people.
This is great b/c Dave is the one guy I want to hear talk about Norm. Well the other Dave there too, thanks for this. 2 of the all time greatest. I'd put Louis in there too.
Dave Chappelle Norm Macdonald Dave Chappelle has major class totally giving it up to the man what a humble dude hanging around with that kind of company man endless jokes laughter Infinity wish I could have been a fly on that wall
It’s one thing to make people laugh. It’s another to make people smile.

I never heard about that and it made me bust out reading it, that mofo was funny, his smile after the awkward pause killed me
I feel like Norm would have HATED all of this serious reverential talk about himself. But he deserves it man. We loved you norm. You were a genius.
Nah norm wanted us to wail our eyes out
@@thecommie739 Yeah. That bit was great. Something like: "I don't want everyone to be happy at my funeral. You are supposed to be sad at my funeral...because it is a FUNERAL!"

I didn't even know he was sick.
Nah. He set it up this way. Crazy he had the fortitude to do so.
He’ll hopefully live On forever
@@PeterSitterly Did you hear how norm macdonald beat cancer to death with his bare hands?
Norm kept his illness a secret until the very end. Didn't use it for pity, or fame, or sympathy. Just soldiered through in silence, until it was time to go. Legendary!
This is the kind of greatness you can't fake.
That was a real baller move.

Your right, I feel like Dave's the only one with a platform and using to save society from themselves
@@marcuspolo9106 Plenty of people have been trying to 'save society', but no one's listening
Don't forget what happened to MLK. Might be what he meant

yeah that one really hit me. reminds me of the backpack line in Real Death by Mount Eerie
Amen
He will always have the best line of the 90s. " murder is now legal in the state of California " "this week the jury found o.j Simpson not guilty "lol
😄 yes 🙂
I tuned in just for update after the verdict, it didn’t disappoint.
U remember when tim meadows played oj as a coach and he was drawing up a play and the routes he drew spelled “I did it”? 😂 what an era for snl
My favorite is always “That’s my lucky stabbing cap.”
For me it's his line on the view when talking about Bill Clinton being a murderer. "I thought it was a matter of public record"
"Why do you go to church?"
"Because it makes me feel good"
There is a deep wisdom in almost everything Norm tells. If I could ever meet any celebrity for a chat, it would be Norm. Rest easy Normy
Norm was funny because he wasn't worried about being cool, just funny.
Yeah, he had a kind of fearlessness that you don't see in a lot of comedians.
I must say Dave Chappelle has such warmth and depth to him. I both admire both him and Norm. This was a heart warming video. I did not know they were friends! Nice!
I bet you weren’t expecting it because he’s a Moon Cricket!
I didn’t know either but it makes sense. Both great and genuine comedians, great friends with Conan. I’m sure they were buds at first sight
Man I miss Norm, what a good man and great friend to so many people. He didn't play all that PC nonsense, truly great comedian.
He was truly unique. It seemed like he never cared about being famous or even getting laughs. He just wanted to enjoy doing what he loved and amuse himself. His confidence was God level and I'm sure hes making God uncomfortable questioning him about his system right now lol.

I rarely shed tears but when I found out Norm passed away, I sat in my car on my work break and let it flow.

I felt the same way
It was a multinational tragedy.
@@lawdawg5818 shhh

Lets make it all about you
Lets make it all about you
I'm an open mic'er and I was at my day job when I found out he passed. Shitty day man. He had become a hero to me over the last 4-5 years.
Keep going brother. I believe in you. If any of us is capable of a tenth of what this man did: it’s a victory.

i'ts amazing how you don't truly appreciate someone until they're gone, rip Norm.

Thank You for sharing this Lord Biff. Nice video. Great to see these videos of Norm!!!
Thank you for this, really love the church organ "Everyone is dead or is gonna die" vibes you were going for here!

To see Norms peers engage in nostalgic remembrance of thier cohort.
RIP Norm.

In 2018, when my grandfather was passing away in the hospital, I would watch Norm and he’d always find a way to make me laugh.

The best Weekend Update host ever, and one of the most underrated comics ever. He was your favorite comedian's, favorite comedian.
Beautiful.
I love the 8 minute joke he did about being a serial killer....it was amazing
Best bit ever
Makes me pine for a cheese sandwich.

You are incorrect, and you must watch it. “Screwed,” also starring Danny DeVito.
I love it
Totally rented it when it came out.
That stand-up set they showed was awesome i was rolling, i miss that guy not much got by him
I'm feeling thankful for Norm, especially today.
My favorite comedians make you laugh at things you shouldn’t. Norm, Dave C, and Carlin are some of my favorites at that.
