Norm Macdonald on the perfect joke

We’ve lost comedy genius Norm Macdonald. He was the absolute greatest at spinning a plain spoken statement into a hilarious joke. Here he is on Howard Stern in 2018 discussing his obsession with “the perfect joke.” #shorts #normmacdonald #snl #howardstern #standupcomedy #comedy

When his friend died of cancer they said "he lost his battle with cancer" But Norm replied, not true, it was actually a draw, since "both" died at the same time. 😂

Rodney Dangerfield: “She told me come over, nobody’s home. I came over, nobody was home!”

The smirk and sorting the papers is gold

"I'm on a seafood diet — I see food, and if it's a fish I eat it."

[motioninmind]

I think Norm was his own biggest fan, and rightly so. He always seems like his main objective is to make *himself* laugh, and then it becomes infectious and we all laugh with him

I told the doc, "I have a weak back"... Doc, "When did you notice this?" I said, "About a week back"

[RamnaViaz]

I loved the one where he said "that Joke was written by a woman, now you don't know what to just kidding, we don't hire women to write jokes"

Norms smile at the end...that pure joy over talking about how much he loves that joke.

[Procrasti...]

"Doc, I have a wee cough. What do you recommend?"

"Have a week off."

Damn, the glimmer in Norm's eyes as he tells the joke on snl

[reharl]

Norm's childlike glee will never cease to inspire me.

Can't forget this weekend update joke: "The punishment for sleeping with princess Anne is sleeping with princess Anne."

A guy goes to a doctors office.
The doctor says, "You're going to have to stop masturbating."
The guy says, "Why?"
The doc says, "'Cause you're in a doctor's office."

Thanks for the recap in the end Howard.

Damn he was a really handsome dude when he was young.

[romie]

One of the most sincere men in comedy ever. Miss that dude

[kenstablerslefthand]

Norm genuinely enjoyed making people laugh.. just look at the glimmer in his eyes when he says "I love that" Truly was a great man. Rest in peace to a legend

[eyespy]

The best comedy happens when intelligence passes for stupidity.

[tonybinder]

I wish I had appreciated Norm and his comedy so much more when he was alive. God rest that man’s soul!

My favorite weekend update norm joke was Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett announced they were getting a divorce .... the reason she's Julia Roberts and he's Lyle Lovett
