hamburger at the FNM show was pretty incredible. i had seen him do standup before in a comedy club setting, and at a festival… it was wild to see him with an audience who had no frame of reference & did not get him at all, and to see how much hamburger loved it. like i would swear he got taller lolmeanwhile mr veg & I were max-cady-in-cape-fear-laughing from the back row

the Bob Saget roast clip is blowing up again and as much as I love it, it's kind of weird to see it divorced from context - I actually watched it as it aired and Norm's set was 3x funnier when it followed an hours worth of comedians trying to out-Andrew Dice Clay each other

my favorite was when he was opening for Tenacious D and he went “And now, I’m proud to introduce…….TENNNNNN more jokes!l” to a chorus of boos

something I find interesting about Norm is that through all his shows, podcasts, talk show appearances, interviews etc. he was pretty much "on" as a comedian nonstop, barely stopped for a minute to say anything serious, and you could assume all his stories were at least partially made up. but on Twitter, at least the last few years, he was almost exclusively philosophical & matter of fact. for a lot of entertainers it's exactly the opposite.
