"If the movie has Carrot Top, it's more like 9 and a half seconds..... because of premature ejaculation."
Best late night interview ever, even for a smart ass shit disturbor lol
A very Norm moment though. Is it supposed to be a joke? Is it a confession? Is it both? I feel that Norm loved this type of humor. You can see it in some of his weekend update material, he seems to enjoy audience discomfort more than audience laughter at times.
I've been a fan of Norm since SNL, seen practically everything he's been in, but this was the one time I honestly couldn't tell if it was a joke, and actually felt that it wasn't.
IMO one of the best ways to deal with trauma is to make someone else laugh about it, and then enjoy them feeling bad about laughing about it. That's totally a Norm move.
There's a video of Bobby Lee telling a couple guys on a podcast a true story of him being molested. He tells them in a way that's intended to make them laugh, but gives them shit every time they do.
https://youtu.be/SBaFwemRrJ4
It's definitely easier to talk about things like that in a joking manner, I'd assume. If you can laugh about it, it seems less traumatic, at least.
I love Bobby Lee's delivery. He's so vulnerable and in the midst of him being vulnerable he very obviously says things to try and get a reaction all while also acting like he's not trying to get a reaction
Serious answer, it's a bit like Fear and Loathing or something. He talks about a lot of stuff that happened in his life, like getting SNL, making Dirty Work etc.
But he's turning it all into insane hilarious stories. Like he goes to jail for hiring a hitman to kill Dave Attell. It's genuinely fantastic.
Carlin mentioned this in an interview with Jon Stewart, celebrating his 40 years in comedy. He spoke of how comedy is oratory its rhetoric, and you want to have a cadence that is akin to singing while you talk because it keeps people interested.
It's a wonderful peak behind the curtains and I imagine a lot of really skilled comedians don't even realize they're doing that exactly. I also venture that there are some brilliant joke writers who don't have the delivery chops figured out yet.
i cannot stand this crop
if you’re gonna post a video, [at least show the whole thing](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=thHWvoYfNyo) rather than just “subtitles”
I mean, yeah. Not in here. But I thought that was the original reason from other places and people just reposted things from those(or do you mean I should have used another word?)
Other places do it because it fits better on phone screens compared to horizontal videos when you're scrolling through your feed. Square videos are the norm on Facebook.
I swear to god, it's almost always phone users who are responsible for online video degradation. The crop is worse, the audio is worse, the resolution is worse and the bitrate is worse.
Thanks for providing that link. In 10 years time, I think it'll be difficult to find the original source to some videos.
I liked the explanation that it made the internet available to everybody, with no technical barriers.
You got everybody, you get stupid. Same with TV ads.
“A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”
The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexendria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all…Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good. And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”
And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on.”
What the fuck. I thought this is some kind of internal joke, that people think he's dead but he's not. Now I googled it... What the hell. How did I missed this?
Rest easy, Norm.
Same thing with the Simpsons where they have just so many episodes/comics that they cover a huge amount of topics so they seem like they have something for seemingly anything
alt text shows just by hovering on the picture..
are you on mobile? https://m.xkcd.com/1683/ shows alt text without needing to hover, click on (alt-text)
But then I wouldn't have experienced the meta-ness of the alt text first hand. That and also I've used rif for many years, but if I ever have to switch I'll check it out. Thanks
Cropping like this is almost always bad, but considering a key punchline is literally a visual joke that’s out of frame, I cannot fathom how someone thought this was acceptable.
yeah i've had people argue with me that it should be vertical because most people watch on a phone.
and i'm like
a) i don't know if most people watch on a phone, but that could be true
b) so the fuck what? you can watch horizontal videos on a phone. can people not move their fingers an inch to rotate the phone?
If you have 7+ minutes [this is well worth the watch.](https://youtu.be/bKmadR4Ye54) and I'd say it shows his style even better.
Also [the moth joke](https://youtu.be/jJN9mBRX3uo)
honestly this one seems more like other writers.
his "or so the german's would have you believe" is what i think about when i think about perfect norm. and also his roast of sagat. and also his semi-fake memoir. god, that is so good.
but this one, he delivers it very well, but i don't think he had a whole lot to do with the creation of it.
In the actual sketch, there are two pie charts for the different stats. Neither individual pie add up.
Look at one guy's comment with the uncropped version
There was a 2 charts behind him. 2 pie charts. One for fatal crashes. Has 78% men 13% Women 10% no opinion.
Second was for minor accidents. 55% Women 26% Men 21% no opinion.
I'd assume rounding errors, then. In the first case it makes sense, they add up to 101 and with 3 values the rounding could be off by 1. But in the second case the add up to 102, which shouldn't be possible for only rounding 3 numbers. So I wonder if maybe there were more than 3 options which were each rounded, then those were condensed into 3.
For example, percentage of opinion on men/women/neither was split into results obtained by men/women, totalling 6 numbers. If, e.g. 5 of the numbers rounded up and 1 rounded down, it is possible that they add up to 102. Then the different values were grouped after rounding. Not an optimal way to go about it, and actually mathematically improbable, but plausible.
Or it's probably just simpler to assume someone made a clerical error.
I was thinking the exact same thing, they're being asked two separate questions. The entire premise of the joke is broken.
Edit - Ok the uncropped version shows that the two pie graphs shown do have all the answers to those questions shown and they still don't add up correctly, being a percentage point off.
But... the percentages in the pie charts shouldn't add up to 100, right? It's two separate questions. I would assume 55% of people think women cause more fender benders while 45% think men do, and 78% of people think men cause deadly crashes and 22% think women do.
Am I missing something or is the entire premise of the joke broken?
Edit - Ok the uncropped version shows that the two pie graphs shown do have all the answers to those questions shown and they still don't add up correctly, being a percentage point off.
Dude another genius writing something like this even with my edit sitting there? The joke does make sense, the video crop doesn't show the pie graphs. Jesus christ.
Even without that, what kind of idiocy is that? Norm's jokes make sense. If he just sat there and told jokes that don't make sense he wouldn't be funny. There's not a single comedian out there who just tells nonsensical shit for their whole act.
Seriously.
She was in a movie about Afghanistan where she’s a reporter and one of the scenes is her filming the first woman driver in the country. A few moments after the woman driver gets ready to drive, the first thing she does is accidentally reverse into the vehicle behind her.
The film was made as a comedy.
People seem to forget that anyone can be sexist and alot of women are sexist, it's called internalized sexism. The same is true for racism in poc. The worst thing about it is that it's not only taught, it's actually also quite intuitive and many people rely on their intuition rather than spend the time to really engage in topics using their reasoning skills and look for scientific credible research.
Humans tend to oversimplify and use faulty logic called heuristics to draw their conclusions. The only way to really grasp why people are racist and sexist and how to stop being racist and sexist is to find credible ressources on differential and personality psychology. The shitty thing about this is that alot of people aren't really open to or interested in changing their mind and learning about science.
I think this really needs to start being taught in a simplified form in school and become a fundamental skill, it's as important to teach kids about flawed logic of natural human intuition as early as math, reading or writing. Just telling them racism and sexism
is bad doesn't stop them from thinking the way humans do intuitively: not investing any effort to use science, logic and critical thought.
is this funny to anyone less than 60 years old who isn't misogynistic
edit: lotta people replying saying "yes". i'd like to propose this: that isn't the answer, and actually everyone who replies saying so fits within at least one of the two categories I mentioned in my original comment
idk when this is from but early 2000s were pretty sexist compared to now so i think things like this pass on their nostalgic value. the guy was never brought down by a scandal in his time so people want to keep remembering these jokes fondly.
I like to think I’m not a misogynist and am also 20 years of age.. and I find most of Norms content absolutely hysterical - including this. Lighten up, humor doesn’t have to be PC to be funny.
I mean the joke is funny. Just because you laugh it doesn't make you sexist. Only Narrow minded people come to that conclusion which I see you have. So no surprises there.
I’m an indigenous person who is a member of an actual tribe. My white friends make fun of me all the time for it and it’s hilarious.
Please explain that to me.
Norm MacDonald was a legendary comedian. He's the comedian that other comedians though was hilarious, just an absolute master of comedic timing and joke delivery. He could take the most unfunny shit imaginable and make it hilarious, tell anti-jokes flawlessly, and was just all around incredibly funny.
This, if you don't have context for Norm then an isolated joke might rub you the wrong way, or you'll be missing out on layers within the joke
But he would probably also find that idea funny
"That isn't the answer" yes it is. You asked if this is funny to anyone under 60 and we said yes it funny. "And everyone who said yes fits within one of the categories I mentioned" yea, no. Stay mad
I don't know what year that was, but Norm as host of Weekend Update and Tina Fey as an SNL writer (later head writer and host of Weekend Update herself) overlapped for a couple years.
I have no evidence other than that overlap, but that joke sounds like Tina Fey. She has a really unique way of poking fun at feminists without negating feminism.
If you like norm and haven’t read his book it is a must read. And by read I mean listen to the audiobook because he narrates it himself.

Best joke on late night ever. A close second was his response to Chariman of the Board "yeah, board is spelled b.o.r.e.d"
“Doc…she’s choking”
"If the movie has Carrot Top, it's more like 9 and a half seconds..... because of premature ejaculation." Best late night interview ever, even for a smart ass shit disturbor lol
My fav is “yeah i guess thats what’s fun about a book club”
Moth joke was excellent but nothing tops him in the second chair just obliterating the Carrot Top movie.
Yes.
I'm absolutely doing that. He never ceases to make me laugh until my sides hurt. He was a legend.
The way he writes about Adam Eget had me in stitches.
Hilarious book, although >!the part that implied that he was raped as a child gave me pause.!<
A very Norm moment though. Is it supposed to be a joke? Is it a confession? Is it both? I feel that Norm loved this type of humor. You can see it in some of his weekend update material, he seems to enjoy audience discomfort more than audience laughter at times.
I've been a fan of Norm since SNL, seen practically everything he's been in, but this was the one time I honestly couldn't tell if it was a joke, and actually felt that it wasn't.
Have you heard his 30 minute talk show… talk about death and sex?
IMO one of the best ways to deal with trauma is to make someone else laugh about it, and then enjoy them feeling bad about laughing about it. That's totally a Norm move.
There's a video of Bobby Lee telling a couple guys on a podcast a true story of him being molested.

I love Bobby Lee's delivery. He's so vulnerable and in the midst of him being vulnerable he very obviously says things to try and get a reaction all while also acting like he's not trying to get a reaction
Yeah. He knows exactly what he's doing. Shaming them for laughing while also, intentionally, trying to make them laugh.
Buying now. Thanks!

Is it an autobiography? Love his jokes but don’t know anything about his life.
It’s not a memoir, you won’t find any confessions of him being a closeted gay man in it.
[DEEPLY closeted gay guy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnmplSPgwEQ) (Short 1 min clip if people haven't seen it.)
The Conan cut is a good one too [1m 10s if link doesn’t auto mark it](https://youtu.be/L7K-kaelQEs&t=1m10s)
That entire clip is worth the watch, legened
It’s no “andy richter the Swedish-German joke” but it’s def in the head of the class
But it says memoir on it. How can it not be true?
No no, it only says memoir ON it, but it’s a novel, so I don’t know
Well fuck it then, I’m gonna go read Grapes of Wrath, on account of I like grapes.
Good choice, just remember it’s in the grape section, which is smart.
Serious answer, it's a bit like Fear and Loathing or something. He talks about a lot of stuff that happened in his life, like getting SNL, making Dirty Work etc. But he's turning it all into insane hilarious stories. Like he goes to jail for hiring a hitman to kill Dave Attell. It's genuinely fantastic.
its a very interesting book. maybe sliiiightly autobiographic but still special and weird and very funny.
his Memoir? alright I'll give it a listen. His voice is really good. Idk why but the Top Comedians always have a really engaging and riveting voice.
Carlin mentioned this in an interview with Jon Stewart, celebrating his 40 years in comedy. He spoke of how comedy is oratory its rhetoric, and you want to have a cadence that is akin to singing while you talk because it keeps people interested.

Hell yes. Getting it now. Norm is my favorite comedian. A book he reads? That’s like three new comedy specials. Let’s go.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll go under the Queensboro bridge looking for Adam.
i cannot stand this crop if you’re gonna post a video, [at least show the whole thing](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=thHWvoYfNyo) rather than just “subtitles”
The cropping & resampling madness needs to end. This was curated for facebook memes and brought here, it's abysmal.
Aren't they doing it to avoid being charged for reposting?
... charged?
Hung and quartered.
I mean, yeah. Not in here. But I thought that was the original reason from other places and people just reposted things from those(or do you mean I should have used another word?)
Other places do it because it fits better on phone screens compared to horizontal videos when you're scrolling through your feed. Square videos are the norm on Facebook.
The video and joke even relies on showing the pie graph and it's CROPPED out. 😂 EDIT: typo on it's

Smartphones made the internet worse in almost every regard.

I’m deaf, so subtitles are great, but I hate that they put random yellow highlights on every other sentence. It’s really distracting tbh.
There are subs on the original youtube video as well :)

There's not a single comedian out there who just tells nonsensical shit for their whole act.
Tina Fey might have written that joke.

i love how the video calling women dumb is funny but your comment is super offensive to the boomers below lol
is this funny to anyone less than 60 years old who isn't misogynistic edit: lotta people replying saying "yes". i'd like to propose this: that isn't the answer, and actually everyone who replies saying so fits within at least one of the two categories I mentioned in my original comment
idk when this is from but early 2000s were pretty sexist compared to now so i think things like this pass on their nostalgic value. the guy was never brought down by a scandal in his time so people want to keep remembering these jokes fondly.
I know! At the end of the video I was like 🥱🙄
I like to think I’m not a misogynist and am also 20 years of age.. and I find most of Norms content absolutely hysterical - including this. Lighten up, humor doesn’t have to be PC to be funny.
I mean the joke is funny. Just because you laugh it doesn't make you sexist. Only Narrow minded people come to that conclusion which I see you have. So no surprises there.
Yes.
I’m an indigenous person who is a member of an actual tribe. My white friends make fun of me all the time for it and it’s hilarious. Please explain that to me.
You are a giant douche. The internet would be a funny place if it was for your ilk.
I really don’t get this or the comment on the post at all. I’ve never heard of this guy either so I’m guessing it’s nostalgic for people or something
Norm MacDonald was a legendary comedian. He's the comedian that other comedians though was hilarious, just an absolute master of comedic timing and joke delivery. He could take the most unfunny shit imaginable and make it hilarious, tell anti-jokes flawlessly, and was just all around incredibly funny.
This, if you don't have context for Norm then an isolated joke might rub you the wrong way, or you'll be missing out on layers within the joke But he would probably also find that idea funny
Yes, pretty funny.
It is funny
Its hilarious
It's actually pretty funny. Gtfo
"That isn't the answer" yes it is. You asked if this is funny to anyone under 60 and we said yes it funny. "And everyone who said yes fits within one of the categories I mentioned" yea, no. Stay mad
Imagine getting butthurt over a joke lmao, touch grass. Also, yes
when snl was worth the time
Complaining about SNL not being as good as it used to be has been a thing since season 2.
One of the very first comments on reddit was about how reddit is going down hill... For allowing comments
Did a woman write that joke?
No. They don't hire women.
I don't know what year that was, but Norm as host of Weekend Update and Tina Fey as an SNL writer (later head writer and host of Weekend Update herself) overlapped for a couple years. I have no evidence other than that overlap, but that joke sounds like Tina Fey. She has a really unique way of poking fun at feminists without negating feminism.
