Norm Macdonald Returns to Television!

I really have no concept of what a “typical” Norm fan looks like. I’m sure there’s some overlap with the bro-cast crew, but he’s popular amongst the uh... more discerning too.

Lol man is oustic brain ded or wut

hmmm he might have a point

I think the premise of the "proud dad" bit is simply that "ew, gay sex is icky."

So I find that problematic. But I should say that I binged the whole Netflix series in two nights. I don't know -- I find them too short, so the laugh-out-loud bits are few and far between. He would do better with an hour and a half maybe.

It's better when he's interviewing his old buddies (the David Spade was good); some of the interviewees (Jane Fonda) seemed to have accidentally wandered on set. Although that show did have a moving observation from Norm about what a gift it is for Fonda to have hundreds of hours of footage of her father, whereas his memories of his father are fading into oblivion.

what the fuck happened to this man's brain

This piece of shit Seth Simons couldn't make it as a comic so he decided to destroy real comics. Here's an example of what this piece off shit protected America from. - DWECK https://t.co/58624qARUy via @YouTube

Hey, you fucking piece of shit, it's you that's The Joker, a failed stand-up that kills someone who got a TV show. I cannot wait to meet you. And I will. https://t.co/UHQ1aHeVki

(the first clip is an unfunny comedy sketch that feeds directly into the conservative victim complex)

what the fuck happened to this man's brain

benzodiazepines (allegedly)

you either OD a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the chud

just accept that that whole generation of SNL guys were rightwing jerks from the get-go. EVERY SINGLE ONE

Spade, McDonald, Jackson, Sandler, Lovitz, Miller, etc. = all Republicans

All except Sandler have always seem like miserable misanthropic dbags…

yeah wait sandler?

i suspect Farley would've been right there w them

Idk about Farley or Sandler

Oh wait n/m about Sandler, guess he was/is a repub

actually surprised about Lovitz.

He has some virulent material in his sets nowadays. Real nasty stuff

have always basically loathed him

Sandler big Giuliani donor/pal

just accept that that whole generation of SNL guys were rightwing jerks from the get-go. EVERY SINGLE ONE

Yep, except for Sen. Al Franken (D), though I suppose he was a holdover from the earlier generation. Kevin Nealon seems like a sane person. Not sure about Mike Myers.

Myers is pretty liberal.

I feel like Dana Carvey is but he tiptoes around it

honest to God I'm starting to come around on Lex's fuck comedy thing

Comedy is good, Norm is still funny sometimes, tho I def disagree w him on this

Yeah, Carvey goes on his mild riffs about "millenials" and how you can't say anything anymore without offending someone!

Its funny that comedians dont realize how funny it is when they complain about how what audiences find funny has changed

Like agggh my old jokes dont work anymore, the problem must be ... the audience!

Dgaf about this guy or his shtick but the moth joke is a stone-cold classic imho.

Carvey boohooed all over Poppy Bush's death bcz they bonded over DC's toothless impression.

moth joke is great
I do wonder about pills he seems really smacked out sometimes

what is moth joek

Longer segment and less out of sync:

haha okay yeah that is good

That Shane Gillis fireman sketch... WOW, what could’ve been.

Norm’s “I don’t care about politics” line has always been transparent nonsense and I always expected some over the line outburst eventually.

I still think he’s, like, extremely funny sometimes. Though the embarrassment is real, for this sorta thing and the uh blatant abuse of benzos.

"I don't care about politics" is the refrain of every old white guy right before he launches into whining about Colin Kaepernick or immigration.

He was great. Just watched his Larry Sanders episode recently (the joke about the homeless guy's dog). Kind of callous, and quite funny.

One of my favorite Conan moments back in the day.https://t.co/hsSannoQYf
