I’m borderline in tears. I thought I had heard all of Norm’s content there was and ever would be (until the final special is released tomorrow), and I come across this. I miss him so much. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Norms standup sets are legendary. He structures it like a series of random segues but they're consistent from one show to another, although he sometimes chooses a different path. That's what makes every set fun to watch even if you've seen other shows from the same tour. Also I'm gay.
53 or so minutes in is so difficult to listen to knowing he was hiding his grave illness. Wow. What a comedic genius who was totally committed to the craft ... I got to see the greatest comedian alive while he lived. I am so blessed! In this clip, he actually made it funny to think that our very families would turn on us in the end. He made something we have only thought about fleetingly in our heart of hearts be real: Our loved ones would pull the plug on our existence!!!😂
R.I.P. What an amazing comic! He was so inteligente and he new to play the dumb guy because nobody likes someone smarter then them. He said that about David letterman also
Just dawned on me, Norm IS Canada. Proud , smart , soft , loving Canada. And I say IS, I don't care what that coroner says, Norm body or no body, IS alive in my world. Whats life anyway? It's people still talking about you in the present tense. It's not like I was going to run into him in the grocery. Just as alive as if that silly heart didnt stop to me.
Are you Canadian by any chance and that’s why you say he represents Canada? A person is not his country. A person is a person. And a person is dead if a person is dead. You can still enjoy his comedy. It’s time to grow up and be an adult.
@@torrescopywriting5374 Not a person that ponders philosophical are you. I'm from the great debaucherious Las Vegas if that has any bearing, which it doesn't. If it isn't clear, I was (am) , thinking outside the box in context to Norms existence beyond the grave. Some of it had humor, lost on you "grown-ups" that require rational thinking when referring to dead comedians. But you do you bud. I'll be over here just thinking.
Endlessly frustrating watching the comedians at the end of Nothing Special wondering if Norm ever did this material in front of the audience and or whether or not it would kill. The second Norm did his first joke I knew that this was this set. (Roughly, of course, Norm Is too good at this to ever do the same set twice.)
Listen, kids, you might think it's cool that you ate your buddy in algebra class, and i'm not gonna lie to you. You will be the talk of the school for quite some time.
Jesus that type of articulation is so similiar to Bill Hicks late austin Show which is a fucking classic. It's crazy how best comedians all fucking die.
Norm was not a fan of Billy Boy and mentioned it in a few different interviews. I bet he would be insulted but we'll just have to speculate due to him taking a dirt nap

Not a great set. Pacing was slow, even for Norm. You can sure tell what was on his mind though. Still enjoyable, but certainly you can see some slippage, which is to be expected in retrospect.

I have a feeling the Netflix special will be very similar to this set based on the time frame. About to watch it now.
@@BruceTheDeuce85 it was very very similar. The special brought tears to my eyes

Man, i miss you, Norm.
Such a great ventriloquist; I never saw his lips move once.
It's a picture
That's disgusting. He had kids.
Have some respect.
@@Bill87762 you mean he owned a doghouse?
Wow you're so funny
@@kayadesingh5852Duuuh really?!? 🥴
This was one of the best nights of my life and i cannot thank you enough for posting it... I was only able to find the early show up until now.
To me this is one of the most valuable things in the world. Had a good set tonight. Love you Norm
Yeah, every day...
I’m a big fan of the late

Some say that a ship made of diamonds would be the most valuable thing… but it’s not.
We're there to touch the back of his hand to let him know that I am
@@Bill87762"if only I could see his remains"
The best comedian by far, and a darn swell human being to boot. Love ya always Norm.
I was so sad when I saw this taken down earlier. Thanks for reuploading!
This is actually a legendary set
whoever was lucky enough to see this live definitely won that night tho
Damn I miss Norm. I always watched Norm when I was feeling depressed. He's been gone two years now and it's still a bummer.
I'm leaving in a huff, I'm leaving in the new Chrysler 'Huff'

This is as good as it gets!
It's a big world and "hardly nobody knows anybody". Love the word-play, the layers...
I've listened to this 100 times
Oh my Lord, I can't stop laughing, just got to the 'Pig' porno bit 😂 This set is Gold, and the audio is amazing. Thank you for posting.
awesome from beginning to great ending 😂. love u norm
That black and white image of Norm is iconic. He’s hypnotizing me with his f*cking gaze!
It’s his eyes. Those black eyes. So hypnotic.
Until the *SHLANKILY KLANKILY* starts
It's not iconic.
his gays?!?!

I had no idea that every time i got on an airplane that I was also getting on a boat.
Thanks Norm.
Thanks buddy, this channel’s a goldmine….
Thank you
That's the Netflix special with an audience!
thank you for this channel
One of the most loved, old chunks of coal ever
Thanks
Norm didn't lose his battle with cancer. He fought it to a draw because when he died the cancer died too.
thanks for this.
This should have more views

"the first cut is the deepest" joke is so funny for me, He is right
Around 1:04:40
Yeah that one got me good too. Just heard it for the first time.
Norm was/is my very favorite!

I’ll bet he could even spell words like INTELLIGENT and KNEW, too.
@@markdaniels7174 who could?
Guy was sick and wouldn't tell anybody because the most important thing to him was making people laugh and he didn't want anything to affect that.
He was in a good mood that day :)

The best...

His Canadian mom is the same generation as my Canadian grandmom
32:29 hes the greatest stand up to ever live
39:03-44:30 is perhaps the greatest joke I've ever heard and that's saying a lot bc it's norm... Rip the goat
He was the only guy running
Dead hahaha haha
That was the beginning I couldn't stop laughing for the last hour
30:50-31:51 that's a great joke 🤣🤣

I've heard that men only die when no one remembers their name. In that case, Norm will live a long, long time.

There is a guy in the audience that laughs exactly like John Stewart!
Long Live Turd Ferguson!!!

It pains me to say that he stole the Jesus was just a guy bit from fellow Canadians MacLean and MacLean
Then why say it
He sometimes gets material that way. Wait, wait till he tells it.
You know what they say, speak ill of the dead.
On a scale of 1 to 10 how painful

Were you there? If you're basing that opinion on audio only then that is just foolish.
You have a problem with the pacing? You must be one of those ...make it snappy... guys.
