"Well ya know...a man grows".
Pure comedic gold.

I am convinced that a “four mile hike to see a dog turd “ was taken as the biggest complement ever by Norm

[zencomeseasy]

Norm built an entire career out of entertaining himself, and we all got to come along. RIP Norm. There will never be another like him.

I told this joke to a couple of kids in their early 20's, and they bought the story hook, line, and sinker. When I delivered the punchline, there was a long pause followed by one of them saying "I want to die."
I laughed for a minute straight. Couldn't wish for a better response. Thanks, Norm.

“A four mile hike for a dog turd.”

That was his style. Love him.

Norm is simultaneously a rambling old man and a mischievous child while Conan just stares completely incredulously

[HeelTaker]

Andy had FOUR attempts at getting that joke out before he finally got to tell it.

He knew he had gold.

I’m so glad he kept persisting and delivered it so well, seeing Norm literally fall out of his chair laughing was everything.

[bluelegbaboon]

my favorite Norm moments are when a joke he says bombs, because you can always hear one person absolutely losing it

[TheFinalStanza]

"I think you just changed his last name."
"Well...you know...a man grows" that on the spot gold!!!

RIP Norm

"Well, you know a man grows" is one of the funniest lines ever said by anybody.
RIP Norm Macdonald, comedy genius

The absolute joy on Norm's face when he knows he sucked them in only to deliver a terrible punchline to a terrible joke is just priceless.

I met Norm once and I said I love his jokes on talk shows. He told me he's given six minutes and just never has enough to say, so he just made up convoluted jokes to kill time.

[ralphyboy]

"well..You know a man grows" he totally came up with that on the spot. Comedic genius. The world won't be the same without him. RIP Norm.

I never saw that last part where Andy insults Norm's story so hard he falls out of the chair laughing. Norm shakes his hand afterward, a worthy jab by Andy after all the times Norm has mocked him. Dudes rock.

[Frank-kqte]

The pure joy and satisfaction on Norm's face when he delivers "youthful porpoise" will forever be my favourite moment. He well knew it was a ridiculous joke and he looks so proud of it.

[panzfaust]

Norm doesnt want fancy things, he just wants to waste everyone's time and i love it

[jvenom]

Norm falling out of the chair was so nice to see. He even gave Andy a handshake for the quality comeback. Warms this young chunk of coal’s heart.

[Jogwheel]

RIP to this comedy legend. One of the best.

Few people make me go insane as Norm could. What a master we lost 😢

[jwells]

Only Norm could tell that joke, and it would still be funny.
