written by Norm as a joke on Kattan and Brendan being weirdly close all week (they went on to make Monkeybone), Will is playing Kattan, Thats why Will makes those Kattan-style shrieks, bc Chris K refused to do anything w Norm cuz Norm always trolled him
what the H? looked like written by will...then norm said"not gay enough". haha the other cast members horrified faces and norm with a huge grin. classic.
You might think a gold ship or a diamond ship would be the most valuable ship there is, but this song gets it right: the most valuable ship is friendship!
This is awesome. I'd never seen this before. I got four laughs in this and Norm got three of them. The first one was Norm's smiling face when everyone else looked displeased. The other laugh was when Will sang that weird part at the end of the song after Norm sang.
Ferrell started in 1995 as a regular cast member and left in 2002. Norm had been there since 1993 until early 1998. Both were, however, coming back on SNL irregularly as featured actors (or as hosts) since their respective departures from being a member of the regular cast. Like, there is one sketch here, on the YT, from 2009 where Ferrell plays Alex Trebek once again on the parody of Celebrity Jeopardy and MacDonald appears there too, as his traditional Burt Reynolds/Turd Ferguson persona. :-)
Ferrell also said “Hey Norm” as Harry Carey during Colin’s first week hosting update. Not sure if it was intentional, but he did it again later in the sketch and said “what do I know, I’m dead”
Theres alot of men like him that was beaten down by the divorce courts and some harlot. You should reach out to them and be buddies. Ten days of the week!
It was weird seeing Norm - who's usually the straight man - acting goofy, but after learning that he wrote this sketch to make fun of Brendan and Will, it makes sense.
Well, Fraser was pretty much well-established in Hollywood by that point. Had starred as a lead on several successful films. This sketch is from 1997 and that year he had a big hit with George of the Jungle. Before that, he was on School Ties, Airheads, Encino Man or With Honors, among others. His breakthrough year was 1992.
Brendan was always that weird his personality was different for lack of a better word, he was too much as an average joe to ever be seen as a celebrity that’s just my opinion he is a celebrity and a great one! But will always have that odd man out personality and please a big mental round of applause to Anna gastyer; molly Shannon; chris Kattan; Tim meadows; Collin Quinn and of course Norm McDonald the best final cast members of snl
I'm still amazed that with a *full week to memorize a few lines,* the cast & hosts are *always reading cue-cards* like a robot...and getting paid well to do it(even Norn is doing it & he wrote this sketch). With a full week I'd have everyone's lines memorized.
Because the show is only written in a week, writers are always changing lines around up until the last minute. Cue cards are a very important part of the show because of this.
@@maryschroeder1533 - Every sketch gets changed? Bullshit. 1 or 2 maybe but it *doesn't* explain-away the fact that they ALL are ALWAYS reading cue-cards. The root-cause is laziness & a toxic work environment.
@@CARTOONIVERSE1The actors have no idea which lines are going to be changed, so it's always important for them to read the cue cards. Why do you think Bill Hader would crack up so much as Stefan? The writers would change a ton of lines around on him so he was reading lines he didn't expect.
You realize the sketches arent finalized until like friday afternoon right?? And they have like 20 and cut half out by saturday night dress rehearsal. Doesnt leave much time to memorize… and not to mention they do it every single week lol
These are written *DURING* the week, not fully fleshed out and handed to them a week in advance. Then there are all the other skits they do that get cut.
They must have been preparing for the other sketches. You must not forget that this was being shot and aired live, in real time. The only solution would have been to make this as the very last sketch on the given outing, which probably was not the case.
That's because there are unfortunately lots of daft idiots out there who took jokes and sketches, such as this one, way too seriously; meaning that they genuinely believed that the authors were truly conveying that the "gayness" was something gross and wrong, which only caused further problems within the real-life society, because they then blindly believed that their sickening views were justified and widely supported.

Look at Norm's grin, he wasn't putting it on just for the sketch, dude's legit really enjoying himself here
Love his humor and I miss him he didn't care if he didn't follow the group think that is why he was hilarious
Norm’s genuine smile in this sketch is priceless. So genuine. He looked like he was having a blast!
"don't put me in any of your _gay little sketches..."_

LMAO great info!
I want this to be true, but do you have a source maybe?
So true!
Sounds very likey indeed, but once again: any source?
lmao
I didn't know that Brendan can sing that well. He could've been great as a Disney Prince.
He is to me
He still could be! Don't count our guy out yet
He actually sings in Airheads 😜🤘🏻🎸
The shot where everyone is scowling except Norm, who is grinning, is hilarious.
Norm's smile make this whole sketch. RIP
I love Norm so much.
Norm smiling💀😂
Norms sadistic smile just says it all about the man! Absolute Legend
Dude Norm singing that 1 line was so beautiful it cured my alcoholism
Incredible. He cured the only disease that isn't worth curing.
Definitely a Norm sketch 😂😂😂
what the H? looked like written by will...then norm said"not gay enough". haha the other cast members horrified faces and norm with a huge grin. classic.
It's just like that meme with the horrified women and the one guy grinning happily.
I wish Norm had really blurted that out.
Ugh, I miss Brendan so much! So glad he made a comeback with Doom Patrol!
You might think a gold ship or a diamond ship would be the most valuable ship there is, but this song gets it right: the most valuable ship is friendship!
A diamond ship, I don't even know if such a vessel could float
Just the lighting and the amused look of disbelief was over the top funny. The man didnt even make a joke. Man theres no one like this huy.
Here for Brendan Fraser's jawline.
Almost as epic as Norm.
Make America Brendan Fraser Again
You'll be happy to know he just got cast in a new Martin Scorsese film.. He broke down and cried, he was so happy..
FAX
Make America Norm Again
RIP NORM MACDONALD..... YOU WERE THE BEST!
Anyone else notice this sketch basically included all the ingredients for Buddy the Elf? Lol too funny.
This is awesome. I'd never seen this before. I got four laughs in this and Norm got three of them. The first one was Norm's smiling face when everyone else looked displeased. The other laugh was when Will sang that weird part at the end of the song after Norm sang.
I never knew Norm overlapped with Will being on the show. God I'll miss him

One of the most iconic SNL sketches of all time has them both in it together. Celebrity Jeopardy =).
Ferrell also said “Hey Norm” as Harry Carey during Colin’s first week hosting update. Not sure if it was intentional, but he did it again later in the sketch and said “what do I know, I’m dead”
I laugh. Every time. Norm seals the deal on this sketch. RIP.
Lol 3:28 Molly Tim and Colin trying not to laugh
😂😂😂
Norms smile and wills awkwardness 🤣
At 4:00 the amount of friendship becomes too much for him.
i love the way norm is always so disconnected. his delivery is so fucking incredible in this, it feels like every line is bursting out of him
Will’s noise @4:02 💀
@BRENDAN FRASER, did you goose him at 4:02?
I forgot how adorable Brendan used to be
He still is! He’s a beautiful soul🌹
Still is lol
He still be really adorable!
He's still an adorable teddy bear.
Not sure why but this made me laugh.... a lot
4:01 WTF?? Hahahhaha
Ahhh he's a good man
That guys a real jerk
I'd hang out with Brendan ten days of the week. Guy is so cool, and so misunderstood, abused by our society.
Theres alot of men like him that was beaten down by the divorce courts and some harlot. You should reach out to them and be buddies. Ten days of the week!
Tony Randall(RIP) + Daughter + Vegetarian Meal = Soy Miss Unger's Food.

Norm was gold.
Norm
This must be how "Elf" was hatched.
I mean, norm putting together this joke explains the smile
4:06 First frame of rest of the cast cant help but smile
Norm! 😎
Will Ferrell & Brendan Fraser they were literally just at the beginning of their great careers
Well, Fraser was pretty much well-established in Hollywood by that point. Had starred as a lead on several successful films.

BRENDAN YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
Aaahhh.... Season 23, the season before Fallon, Parnell and Sanz came in.
That's when MadTV was post-Sasso
Before the dark times...
Holy crap that was amazing! Never would have guessed.... I have to see more of this episode now!
I like seeing will and norm doing stuff together lol
norm is just one of those guys that can make you laugh without saying a single word
Normie, Normie, Normie...
Hockey Normie!
Such a cutie! So young here!
Brendan can really sing!
If Norm wrote this he was a genius. A funny, trolling genius.
I love how everyone in the comments came for Norm, what a special chunk of coal
Hip hop Napoleon, the prequel to Hamilton.
Wtf, Norm. 😂
Brendan do more features!
At 1:56 Colin sounds very much like Carroll O’Connor
Brendan Fraser born in 1968! He was 29 Years Old in 1997 when he made this late show.
Omg why is Norm so cute
Thats how norm tests em
Tim Meadows laughs 3:31.
Norm broke him in pretty much every sketch they did together.
RIP NORM
Brendan needs to host again
Colin Quinn’s hip hop Napoleon sketch? Lin Manuel Miranda has some ‘splainin’ to do.
Yes! "Buddy!"
🏆RIP Norm🪦✌️
Colin Quinn rules
He was so cute
He still is!
that weird 'yelp' by WIll just shows he's one of the best SNL players ever.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg..👌 i don't know how many tyms im watched it he have lot of humour..
Simon and Gayfunkel
Will Ferrel went on to play Buddy the Elf
( there is zero connection to this sketch)
is this where they got the idea for Elf?
What I realize after seeing this and reading Norm's book is that Norm was making comedy out of the likely fact he had been molested as a child.
?
Norm 😆
Fuck I remember seeing this live! And it was my first time seeing norm.
egal was alle sagen!ich liebe Branden Fraser♡
Awesome
Reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel
:-D :-D :-D
This is what got the hfpa guy In Trouble grabbing Fraser.
They should have used Brendan in the Cobra Panthers musical sketch, but I guess Robert Downey jr was ok .
Have you ever considered bundling your home and auto insurance?
Norm doing a joke inside another joke on account'a that sketch needin' a little somethin' extra.
I farted.
Best friends my ass, Will and Brendan hadn't done a movie together yet
They were willing to best friend your ass but you never called.
Hmmm, Hip-Hop Napoleon could’ve made a pretty good musical.
I would have said that was stupid had this not been a post-Hamilton era.
Norm was a bully but people idolise him
I didn't know Brendan could sing great. why didn't he develop a musical talent?
RIP in Piece Brendan.
We miss when you were happy and had a career.
He died? I didn't even know he was sick.
Piece of what?
Watch Doom Patrol. He kicks ass.
@@tonysnark1530: Now Norm's punchline makes sense. He wanted everyone to say it after he died from 9 years of cancer.
Did Colin Quinn ever do the hip hop Napoleon skit?
I'd love to know too. :-)
Brendan was always that weird his personality was different for lack of a better word, he was too much as an average joe to ever be seen as a celebrity that’s just my opinion he is a celebrity and a great one! But will always have that odd man out personality and please a big mental round of applause to Anna gastyer; molly Shannon; chris Kattan; Tim meadows; Collin Quinn and of course Norm McDonald the best final cast members of snl
He did give an awkward persona on snl when I watched it
Pretty sure norm went off script here hahah
I really wanted his story about his buddy to go off on a tangent that goes nowhere

#Bromance
I miss Norm Macdonald
This was not the sketch I remember
1:17
Kiss the bottle. 2020 is over. BAK
Why didn't they include the rest of the castmates? (Jim Breuer, Chris Kattan, Tracy Morgan & Cheri Oteri was absent in this one)
Who cares
@@oddlookingduck I do
Will was playing Chris Kattan
They must have been preparing for the other sketches. You must not forget that this was being shot and aired live, in real time.
The only solution would have been to make this as the very last sketch on the given outing, which probably was not the case.
@@subraxas According to SNL Archives, this actually was the final sketch of the night. I don't know why the rest of the cast wasn't there.
Norm stole the sketch of course. Why was he pointing down at the end?
I love Brendan Fraser but this was a weird skit.
Remember when being grossed-out by gayness could be played for laughs? Ah, simpler times.
That's because there are unfortunately lots of daft idiots out there who took jokes and sketches, such as this one, way too seriously; meaning that they genuinely believed that the authors were truly conveying that the "gayness" was something gross and wrong, which only caused further problems within the real-life society, because they then blindly believed that their sickening views were justified and widely supported.
These dumbos thus spoilt everything.
It's a post-September 11 world.
@@skipads5141can't even rub your hot pssy on a guys shoulder in west texas anymore.
I would love to hear the story of this sketch. How did they get norm to play along somethin so lame
Norm wrote the joke
