Norm’s “you know” while he tells his long jokes is fantastic
Haaa! Yes! "Ya know, uh uh, ya know, so uh..."
You gotta be careful watching a lotta clips or else you'll find it slipping into conversation
He was a fella. So I says, I says to the guy. "What, what is that over there praytell?" And he looks at me, and he says "What are you nuts? That's saskatchewan gary. The pride and hope of Quebec City." and I stop right there.
Like from the kid in f is for family
I says I says so I says
Norm is one of the few people who can make a joke funnier by explaining it.
I'd say the only person who can do it...
Lol I dunno, me and my friends do that all the time. It’s all about the type of humour you have. You just have to say something obvious and then act like it isn’t obvious. It helps to use different convoluted words to say the same thing. It’s funny lol
He was pretty great, I’ve even watching all sorts of old Norm clips after I heard he passed.
@@Zlittlepenguin Right but for your friends to perform that bit in front of a stranger and have it still be funny to them would be really impressive
"You know, because uh, because uh...." (toss in explanation). 😂
Oh my god the "what?" after Conan asked where the turtle came from absolutely broke me. What an unparalleled talent.
Lol, same
I still come back to this clip because the timing of his "what" is perfect. Its not too fast and not to late. Its just a perfectly timed "what?"
Indeed
He had a great talent of making you seem like a fool for asking logical questions.
"I gave him like 8 bucks" deserved a bigger laugh. Classic Norm subversion
"So I says to him I says, I said". Lol
5:49 - That "What?" will never fail to make me laugh.
So good.
I watched it 3/4 times before finally moving on
And then he riffs on it for a good 15 seconds without missing a beat
I think he knows full well that he neglected to include that piece in the set up. The "What?" is him kind of ...blaming Conan for it instead of back tracking. Then he has to fill in the context, then he picks up the thread. This is a result of him knowing his material very, very well.
I lost my shit lol
That pig joke quite honestly might be his best long joke.
I loved that one!
Nah the moth joke is better
It's a great one. I like the one about his neighbor that's a Professor of Logic.
A frog goes into a bank to get a loan, the frog goes up to the lady and she has a name tag on that says Whack, her name is Mrs. Whack. Can I get a loan? Idk you're a frog. Well I want a loan. Well what's your name? Kermit. Your not Kermit the frog No no no I was named after him. The names Kermit Jagger. My father is Mick Jagger, and my mothers a frog. He fucked a frog. And uh I'm his offspring. Well Anyways I want a loan, for a lily pad Well idk if you can get one. Do you have any collateral? Well I have this, the frog pulls out a little shiny pink elephant. Mrs whack looks as it, her name is Paddy I dont think this is much collateral but I'll talk to the bank manager ya know? There's a frog out there Kermit Jagger gave me this damn thing do you have any idea what this is? The bank manager says, what is this? This is a knick knack Paddy Whack give the frog a loan! His old mans a Rollin Stone!
That’s Kitchener Leslies Girlfriend!
Watching Norm and Conan makes me happy. They have great chemistry together.
Man, if they started a podcast together it would rival Joe Rogan.
@@davidlee9870 it would make me so happy
I would watch those two just having a chicken together
@@davidlee9870 😔 well it'll never happen now... 😢
@@Rand0mN0rwegianGuy I long forgot my comment. The joy of his last 10 years, when he knew he was dying, is absolutely inspiring.
The professor of logic one is still one of my favourite jokes.
Absolute classic, conservative, passive aggressive, brutality... love it
At the University of Science there, ya know?
that old fella@@jeffreyjeziorski1480
Oh youre one of them GAYS, he said nonchalantly
If slight of hand comedy is a thing then Norm is the greatest slight of hand comedian in the universe.

Who else is STILL binging on Norm? A roast beef on a hard roll. 😂
The weird thing was I found out about Norm and started binging him like a week before he died. Very weird. Still binging
@@kylewatson6890 Oh wow.
Even before his shocking death, I would review his many hilarious stories, every month or two...I plan on doing this until I die myself!
@@kylewatson6890 Yeah, same here! Or, well, I started actually binging all his stuff anyway literally right before he passed away. And then I kept going, obviously, when the news of it came (even more so after, tbf)
That “what” at 5:40 is priceless.
So good...
It's funny how a large part of his comedy are these little interactions. He uses the reactions of the host or audience to make the situation funny somehow
They said because of the celluloid film this was originally filmed on decomposing, these appearances on Conan were almost lost. Thankfully, the National Film Preservation Foundation found these deep in the old NBC archival vaults, restored the film, and added color digitally to them....
Nice to hear. For the life of me I can't understand why archiving was never a bigger deal to deep-pocketed companies like NBC, the movie studios, and all the rest. It costs peanuts. Archivists are the sort of people who will work for low wages. Storage space in a lousy part of any city or town is super cheap. If a storage medium is known to deteriorate, at least re-copy it once every five years (or whatever) by renting some high-quality equipment. A show costs a million dollars to produce and you can't spend $50 over the following century preserving it? (I think that rant was building in me for a long time now!) Cheers. :)
I'm aware that restorers are able to add color to old black and white films but the thing that amazes me is how they were able to digitally remove the pirates hat that Norm always wore and, also, remove the parrot on his shoulder which was a constant companion of Norm's. I liked how Norm would often refer to himself as "Peter" and refer to his parrot as "re-Peter".
There will never be another one. Norm could tell a joke and handle a crowd like no person who ever existed. He was touched by God with comedy genius.
On the subject of handling a crowd: Just listened to a bootleg copy of one of his stand-up gigs. He was being heckled and by the time Norm got done the guy told him he loved him. Just a beautiful human being.❤️
“I give em like 8 bucks” lmfao
Andy laughing when Norm invited his hypothetical neighbor over for a chicken is proof that Norm leaves the true reveal (not the pre-screening) for the actual showing. Something he has done since SNL when they had pitch meetings for upcoming skits. Norm knows the value of a true reaction. Well played, Normie normie normie 🤙🏼
I didn't get it. Why was he laughing over him inviting his neighbour over for chicken?
Umair Khan Cause he wasn't expecting it and norms best at delivery/storytelling
@@00_00.1 no cause it’s a cock joke
@@UmairKhan_x another word for chicken is cock which is the punchline for the ending joke. when he first says the chicken is because it sounds funny and dumb
@@UmairKhan_x its just a nonsensical thing to say to someone. You would never invite someone over to have a chicken. And then he repeated the same punchline at the end, saying the gay guy invited him over to have a chicken, same thing he had said to his neighbor. In a way he's making a gay joke at his own expense because if this gay guy invited him over for a chicken then he must also be gay for doing the same thing earlier in the story
Norm doubling down on the turtle joke and tripling down is always legendary😂
Wow, thought I'd seen all his Conan appearances. I hadn't and what a joke I had never heard before...the midget joke. I've listened to it at least 10 times since I saw it last night, what a fucking brilliant joke. Norm, I actually love ya.
He told the pig joke so well people that knew the punchline laughed
Your right, I did lol
... what?
@@nyChannel09he said people that know the punchline laughed. Even though they knew the joke, you know?
@@Oskyosky2009 Got it now, thank you
7:28 to me, for some reason the funniest part of this story is the way Norm replies to Conan after he calls it a ‘joke’.
I liked the "........what?" To me it was the best part of the joke.
@@dbsti3006 no the best part was where he said "it was the turtle!"
@@hamig306 Lol. Yeah, usually explaining a joke ruins it, but it works for Norm.
They’re studying jokes down there at the university of science.
ive realized that this is just norms genius way of getting out of doing actual interviews. lmao
The midget joke had me crying actual tears and I couldn’t breathe 🤣
omg same, that joke is just soooo outside of anything you'd ever hear nowadays but damn its ridiculously hilarious, I am beside myself rn
I watched this with my brother the night it came on back in the 90's. I'll never forget this joke, we were both high as hell on some great shrooms at the time. I'll never forget another part on this same show, we turned it on and Conan had this dude running around on the stage called Lumbar Lou. He was massaging Conan's back with his head. which was some sort of giant massager. 90's Conan was great.
Me too :D
... What?
Norm was a singular talent and Conan loved him and for good reason.
"come by one day and have uh, a chicken with me." Andy's laugh is so genuine.
I will NEVER EVER stop watching Norm, he’s genius and hilarious, also great to watch Conan wetting himself!!!
... what?
Needed to see this again! RIP Norm.
RIP to my favorite.. God bless you, Norm.
21:30 he says "guy" then corrects himself to say "midget"
I've seen that clip many, many times. Never noticed that. Norm is a master of comedic pauses. His delivery and timing are like no one else. Did he catch himself stumbling the on the joke, or did he do it on purpose? That's what I love about Norm. You can't tell.
@@samich57 I think the point was to show that he isn't going to be dissuaded from keeping the word midget in his vocabulary. As far as he's concerned, I would guess, the word means very, very short person, and thus there can be nothing wrong with using it as a noun for very, very short persons.
In the 1950's, Steve Allen envisioned the perfect talk-show scenario. Host after host attempted to achieve the paradigm. Then, in 1996, Norm MacDonald made his first appearance on the Conan O'Brien Show. Allen, 74 years old and essentially couch-bound, watched the exchange, rolled over, and died with a smile on his face. He lived another 4 years in that position.
I've always been a doubting Fred.
“What great stuff you can learn at that University of science there.” 😭🤣
Wow, this is the exact video I was looking for. Thanks.
19:55 Haha. Love it. Conan helped Norm. Young Norm forgot to mention that the midgets went to separate rooms and Conan patched it immediately. Wonderful. Love these two and Andy
norm is so good at this that i cant tell if he is making these stories up a word at a time with no preparation or if they have been planned down to the stutters, he makes it looks so effortless but is still relentlessly funny. rip to one of the best to ever do it
22:16 hearing Norm genuinely laugh is awesome. For a second for him to take a break and enjoy the moment and we get to hear his joy for “happening” with other people
He always makes you feel like you are there, just sitting in on his ramblings……..so lovely
Keep posting Norm clips subscribed.
The King of stringing along
Finally a norm clip that I hadn't seen
I don't get the turtle joke man
@@arpansamuel6745 homie ate the turtle
Rest in peace genius ❤️
This is the best compilation out there w/ Norm lol
0:14 I grew up in Monkland and lived there for over 10 years. Norm lived on a farm 5-10 mins from Monkland. The entire area has thousands but the main town in Monkland only has a couple hundred people, it’s a modern town and only 20+ minutes to big city’s (about 30+ minutes to Ottawa which has over a million in population). Norm is being remembered in Monkland every day. (Little fact, there’s no farms IN Monkland technically, ) RIP
''What was the shoebox with a turtle in it doing at the bottom of the bar?'' ''............What?'' I love how he makes Conan look like a fool for asking a perfectly legitimate question.
This is a great compilation! So many clips that aren't included in he the many, many other compilations of Norm's material. Good job putting this collection together. BTW, there exists on the internet an archive page that has every episode (33?) of Norm's YT podcast. I have that page bookmarked on my computer.
5:50 "What??"
Undisputed King of Comedy the great Norm Macdonald RIP Legend
He was sincerely a living legend.
Not anymore
@@john214351 yes now hes a deceased legend
@@MNizamee Are you just trolling; or, you honestly don’t understand past tense? It’s cool either way…
@@ericbrucker Google the word "joke" and you'll get your answer
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 That was Norm.
I used to bet (daily) at a horse track, and the funny part about that story is that bets can't come out to $7.77. The way the odds are configured they come out in increments of 10 cents. Norm acknowledges this VERY subtly. Also, it's customary to always tip the mutuel teller at least to the dollar. He acknowledges that, too. That always struck me as funny. Norm really was a master of storytelling. He's both extremely simple and extremely smart.
RIP Norm Mcdonald, I mean we lost alot of people this year, but this one hit the most, i was hearing my favorite film podcast, film junk longest running movie podcast, and they mentioned norm mcdonald passed away, and i was like that cant be, and he did, and they were canadians, so i think it hit home for them, but, even though they were talking about other things, i couldnt get norm out of my mind, cause he was my favorite comedian on the planet, and i only knew about him from the start of the pandemic. I never knew of him before now, but i watched all of the SNL from the 70s, till now, cause of boredom, and i was fascinated by him, i felt he was the best my first pick of SNL anchors to genuily be funny, and i wish he had done more, but the backstory of why he was fired is outragoeous and i hope that executive who told him is now fired or has a bad life, im sorry, but, hate that executive coorporate P.O.S, and then i went on a rabbit hole of norm watching his film dirty work, and i watched the movies he was in before like in the early 2000s, when they came out, but never knew him, you know, i might have to watch them again, im gonna be a norm mcdonald completist, so i went on a rabbit hole and saw his videos on youtube he was in the dennis miller, another good SNL anchor, and just them laughin and having a good time, put me in a good mood, but even hearing norms stories are just funny, so im glad to have witness him, before it was late, and to have the realization when someone dies, to know how much they meant, is great, and really puts life in perspective, i hope his family is coping okay, its hard that he wont be with us anymore, but just check his stuff, i then saw him on the norm mcdonald show all available in youtube, and then howard stern classic interviews, so check those out, im a big comedy fan, so would like to hear what other comedians say about him, but awesome person, i might put this comment on various videos its not a scam, im a hardcore fan of his at this point, and i want to hear the youtube communities story with norm mcdonald, I know Norm is a big weed smoker, from stories i heard in comedian podcast, there was many who gave him weed, so there should be a weed strain of famous people who smoke weed, like him, robert mitchum, many others, i am one as well, will miss you thanks for makin me laugh, cause man i needed it
One paragraph, 60 commas, and 1 period…. real meeting of the mind here
So did you like Norm?
Love you, Norm R.I.P
I just realized, my grandfather had 100 of these style jokes. Why didn't I record them!? 😭 They were always long, always silly, always funny.
We don't appreciate what we have until it's not around any longer.
My Dad, born in ‘20, used to tell the “brothers and sisters I have none” riddle. It’s a legend in my family.
Best late night show guest of all time
I Effin adore Norm!!!!! THE funniest guy. I’ve tried many times to introduce his work to my workmates but they just don’t get it??????🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼
alot of people don't get cuz his comedy is just so subjective. but ur right i love it
@@sillyfella4477 Yep, Norm is the best
I feel like no one is ambivalent about Norm. You either love him, or you just don’t get it.
His jokes have gotten better and better as he grew older
Two kings!!!
this guy can never be matched
I'm a huge Norm head and I'm somehow just seeing the pig joke now. Genius, and I'm pretty sure even Conan didn't see the punchline coming
8:30 "im just sorta going along with you" Conan and norm are just perfect together for show
One of the funniest things is when Norm says:"I'm sorry".
didn't care for his stand-up as much but best guest on any show ever
Nice upload you quality man/woman .
I LOVE Norms laugh at 22:15!
22:13 "hello? Haha". He cracked himself up, one of his best moments
This is also one of my favorite moments and I don’t even know why. Hello? Hahahahah!
I freaking love norm. It’s insane that his character Pigeon in Mike Tyson mysteries stood out SO MUCH it led me on a giant chase to find out more and more and more about this amazing man. His voice, his style, everything is just perfect. There’s nothing like it. I feel in love with his comedy and binged anything with norm. The Norm show. Podcast. Late night Interviews. Stand up. And he’s definitely one of the legends. Unique. Un-replicable. Unique Feels all over. Nirvana man. Only a handful of artists/people will ever be able to do this in their respective field. They are definitely infinite in legend. Though humanity and the universe will one day have entropy to the point of nothingness. Or who the hell really knows what will happen. The laws of physics are crazy and crap goes beyond crazy beyond what we can comprehend. Idk. My point is I don’t care that we’re all gonna die or that humanity will one day end. Or if the universe restarts or not or if there are many or etc. what matters is the moment and the memories We currently share and have. And norm has impacted many and given so much joy and laughter. And in this pain ful world what more can you ask for that bliss and joy and happiness? I hate that he passed away recently and it has me all existential. Worse so than usual that Trevor Moore also passed this year. Life is too short to be hateful and evil or hurt others. Which is why I don’t respect Nazi sheriffs who are “just following orders”. Life doesn’t have laws. If it’s not a violent crime or theft or whatever then knock it off. Stop the war on drugs and shhtit. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Man. I keep getting off track. But it is all connected. Cheers to norm Macdonald And Trevor Moore And all the comedians and legends and scientists & philosophers who have changed the world and affected us positively. Especially the revolutionaries who wanted best for all and fought against oppression and outdated mindsets. Giving colored people equal rights. Civil rights. Women’s rights. Etc.
A great observational rant!....My mom just turned 94....I asked her what she felt the most important thing was about Life...she said "Just be kind".

@Mister Happy It's a vice, I know, but I *do* so enjoy trolling gratuitously-combative-&-humorously-gormless complete strangers! Especially when I picture them painfully typing their reactionary phatic noises with their carpal-tunnel-syndrome-crippled wrists. (From all that punk-servicing, you understand.) Sample: [Insert provocatively snappy reply in hopes of further droll trolling of combative-but-humorously-gormless stranger *here*] ----> *Your Ass* Meanwhile, seriously now -- what kind of person actually posts unfunny, non-ironic, plain-old-mean-spirited heckling under a Norm Macdonald video, of all places?! (I should think *that* better characterizes a "delusional twat.") Don't you understand that Macdonald epitomizes and exemplifies the complete *opposite* spirit to petty intolerance? kzhead.info/sun/lcxmcpGfh3uMnK8/bejne.html “In a speech Abraham Lincoln delivered at the height of the Civil War, he referred to the Southerners as fellow human beings who were in error. An elderly lady chastised him for not calling them irreconcilable enemies who must be destroyed. 'Why, madam,' Lincoln replied, 'do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?'"
I can get us a bottle
I died at that last one 😂 especially that aunt voice 😂
I've heard the comedy is about subverting expectations, the joke about midgets damn near killed me. I'm pretty sure I'd heard it before but I had forgotten it. Laughed hard enough I started coughing.
Same here. I made the mistake of watching it out in public, you know, with my earbuds. I probably looked like a damn down syndrome person.
I fucking love how these two interact
"I said come by and uh have a chicken with me." 😂😂😂
This guy is a movie🤣
That uncle goat joke was by far the best
Never heard the pig joke before. It killed me ROFL!
Wait, why have I not been informed of the existence of this video before?!
Another example of why norm is best
I've heard that midget joke 100x and I still laugh lol
How he keeps saying midget in the midget joke. Pure freaking genius!
You can tell how early in Norm's career this is, as the audience is hanging on every word not knowing what's coming...hahah
Never seen a talk show host actually laugh till Norm
He's a star of talk shows.
I've heard the "logic" joke a long time ago. More than 35 years ago but it's still funny.
