All my videos have had their audio remastered & the video recut to better fit modern devices. If there is a better quality version of anything I post, I will remove mine. There is too much clutter out there.

Subscribes help me out a lot.

Norm’s comedy was priceless. His reaction to the crowd when they don’t laugh was always my favorite part of his routine.

[chanty]

The silence from these literal demons as norm stood bravely and delivered brilliance was what cemented him as my favorite comedian.

Rip Norm Macdonald! Came here to Honor his Life

The way he laughs at his own jokes is fucking outrageous. Zero regard for the audience, zero regard for how uncomfortable he's making anyone, as if he's standing there telling those jokes for nothing more than his own amusement. One of the most fearless comedians to ever do it.

[franz-dominikimhof]

The "is he laughing" hommage to Don Rickles was done to perfection. The timing was even better than the original which is an incredibly hard thing to do.

I love that he starts talking about Martha Stewart like he’s going to roast her too and then just makes a cute joke about her

[jakw]

The Allan Greenspan joke is a work of art, the timing, the blind side attack, everyone dying.

[t.w.]

I actually bought the C-Span VHS video for his performance and paid something like $90. Now it's free on YOUTube how times have changed. This performance by Norm MacDonald made me a fan. Rest in peace Norm.

The fact that he got a standing ovation is amazing

[Jakobi]

The joke about Alan Greenspan devaluing the peso sends me every time.

[froni]

That last joke was a masterclass, it indirectly obliged everyone in the room to stand up and cheer for him even if they didn't like him

[sandeepkadian]

Every line was so clever, and an audience afraid to laugh at any joke ended up giving him a standing ovation...

Edit: Norm’s mischievous smile after every dig, Gold

[ddsman]

His best jokes bombed, which was great if you watch Norm's face. God I loved that man...

[RicardoSanchez-tvdq]

This might be Norms greatest moment ever

[maisysadventure]

Where have I been!!!!
I’m 42 and only heard of Norm after his death (I’m from U.K) but at least I’ve now got hours of Norm to catch up on!
RIP Norm ❤️

[thl]

how are people saying the audience didn't like it? These guys are serious-kinds of people like journalists, real old people, and he made them laugh a lot more than other ones of these I've seen on Youtube

[MB-msud]

Norm is a comic's comic, he's one of the GOAT.

[ryeinc]

I love his little chuckles in between jokes 😂

[OneEyedKeys]

The 'Yen' joke and the 'Clinton Funraising'' jokes aged like fine wine.

[ccVIKINGS]

He had that shit-eating grin on his face the entire time 😂. You could tell the more he offended them the happier he got
