The Sisko Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 That's sad. I really loved his work. I always thought his humor was underappreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I swear to God, last night I thought long and hard about Norm. Even how muched he's aged since his Weekend Update days, and how bad it'll hit me when he dies. The timing of this is incredibly spooky to me. My favorite deliverer of jokes ever. All-time King of dry delivery. He pumped out jokes by the thousands, it's baffling. So many jokes that he'd give his podcast guests half of them, so they could read them off and get the laugh. When I was done reminicing about Norm last night, I practiced and recited a joke of his over and over that I want to try on my family and friends. The way he anticipated the reaction of the audience to his punchlines made him able to manipulate the audience to get an even bigger laugh AFTER the punchline. Freaking brilliant. A very sad day in the world of comedy. RIP to an all-time legend. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 This hurts.. His "talk show" was always rumoured to be returning to Netflix. Always just around the corner. Now this. "I didn't even know he was sick." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 61 is so young. I enjoyed Norm. But you have to be in the mood for his humor. And he can be bat**** crazy at times. But I got the impression over the years that he was a good guy, and for that alone, I’ll honor the man. Rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 His roast of Bob Saget is one of the greatest comedy bits of all time. Never fails to make me laugh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) The thing about Norm is that the more you become a fan, the more his jokes that don't work become hilarious. I look back at all the jokes that bombed with the SNL audience, or when the podcast guests had reactions other than laughter...and I frigging crack up. He would do bad jokes on purpose, and as he aged he did it more and more. Just to make everyone uncomfortable. That makes me crack up every time. See his roast of Bob Sagat for the most prime example. Norm was extremely smart. Remember he was an answer away from winning Who Wants to be a Millionare. Regis sorta talked him out of his million dollar answer, and Norm's educated guess after the fact was the correct answer.

Forehead Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 This sucks. I grew up watching this guy. I didn't always get or enjoy the dry humor, particularly when jokes fell flat, but I grew to appreciate it more as I got older. He was one of a kind and a staple of my prime SNL years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Damn this hits hard. My favorite comedian. I saw him at the DC Improv several years ago, sat right against the stage with my brother and a friend...greatest night of my life. People in the back tried heckling to break his mojo but Norm destroyed them and dominated...and ended the whole thing with a running joke about eating a roast beef sandwhich while having sex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 2 hours ago, China said: Conan: "Do something with that, you freak." Norm: *already rubbing his hands together* On a related note, a friend of mine was on a flight and both Norm AND Carrot Top were on it (sitting separately). At the time my buddy had no idea that Norm annihilated Carrot Top and I had to explain it all and show him this. To this day I wonder if CT was aware of tbe savagery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Dirty Work was the ultimate comedy to 13 year old me. Still makes me laugh to this day although the juvenile homophobia didn't age very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Norm completed his voice role on Orville for Season 3. He played the blob. Edited September 15, 2021 by Rdskns2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
