Well this just fucking sucks. He's one of my favorites of all time, if not my #1 favorite. Every so often I will go down a rabbit hole of clips of Norm and before I know it, it's been 2 hours. 

[Macanudo 12953]

Frank Stallone is alive.   If there is a comedy God, he makes an appearance at Norm's funeral or wake.

SHIT! What the hell! Didn’t even know he was on his death bed. RIP king!




Even tho Frank says very little in this scene, his fucking face just makes you laugh knowing he’s about to pull some childish prank.

Gets me every time

[Deej 76656]

Damn. Norm didn't give a fuck, and it's what made his comedy so great. 

[Dennis Taylor 18741]

Fuck this...he is definitely one of my all time favorites. The way other comics talk about him says it all...RiP Norm

[Post Oak 20191]

From the bottom of my heart Norm, thanks for the laughs.

Might be my favorite Norm moment. "Because he's a premature ejaculator"

Nobody funnier. -Letterman

He was one of my favorites. RIP Norm.

fuuuuck man. damn it. RIP to the legend.

 

 

[Wally Pryor 5252]

Wow.

 

Lori Jo Hoekstra, Macdonald's friend and producing partner, told Deadline she was with him at the time of his death and that the comedian had been fighting cancer for nine years, but did not wish to share his health struggles with the public. 

“He was most proud of his comedy,” Hoekstra told Deadline. “He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the audience or any of his loved ones saw him. Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.”

I loved old school Conan during Late Night days. And Courtney Thorne Smith? Hommina, shibbida

[Radical Larry 28533]

Well, this really fucking sucks. RIP, Norm.

[Captain Ron 12819]

RIP Norm.

 

His monolog at the ESPYs is the only watchable one of that entire shitshow.

Griffey is sitting there next to him like, "Oh shit, why did I sit here? Please don't let me be next."

I loved Norm. This is really sad. RIP

[Mileslong 4724]

God this is brutal, my top three comedians:

1) Norm
2) Ricky Gervais
3) Bill Burr

In no particular order…

On the subject.   Wonder when this was recorded.

album came out in 2011.  so probably a year or two before he was diagnosed.

I seriously loved watching the guest’s reactions when they read jokes on Norm Live.  This one hurts, RIP Norm. 

[Reynolds Woodcock 4727]

Probably already posted. Don’t care. One of the greatest jokes ever.

IMHO, that Bill Cosby joke, alluded to earlier, was the single funniest clip in the entire Comedian's in Cars Getting Coffee.

[BrickHorn 18200]

Norm was gray, in both appearances and demeanor.

[NAVY 6739]

RIP Norm. This one stings.

Holy shit Bob Dole outlived Norm Macdonald

That’s quite an observation. 

[kingkoopa6 8334]

damn, now I feel bad.

Abt 7 years ago I saw him at Irvine Improv...

it was the late night show and I had been drinking all day.

He came on and I was falling asleep... honestly it felt like he was bombing it... idk.. it could have been his best show I was dozing off like a bitch.

I got up and left.... the doorman straight up told me " that guy is a legend and you're leaving?"

RIP

I went to the show because i loved Billy Madison and Norm rocks!

Who would you rather bone, Meg Ryan or Jack Nicholson?

[pops 6976]

Mangrate is fucked! 

Rip to a guy that had me in tears more than once. 

I will try and find the interview with Bob Einstein that my kids still quote to this day. 

Edit:  whole episode is great but the mike Douglas story starts at 13:45

this is some of the funniest, most insightful stand up i've ever heard.  he's talking about fame and going to space, and poor Michael Collins.

Y'all seriously? 

 

 

 

He was my absolute favorite, this sucks. I'm honestly sad and not just "message board" sad.

 

RIP Norm, may you forever rip on, you guessed it, Frank Stallone.
