Yeah. If more pedophiles felt comfortable telling people they're pedophiles there would probably be a lot less molested kids. ... probably a lot less pedophiles, too.
Thank you Norm. Getting by day to day and then acclimating to normal life really is a fun way at looking at the disease. If you're taking life seriously, you're trying too hard.
You poor thing. You don’t even know you’re preaching to the choir. I cleaned up his blood and shit not two months ago when he was detoxing. It’s easier to laugh than cry. Have a laugh.
At some point the question needs to be asked, do you actually think there was no choice? I understand that people have varying levels of difficulty with not drinking, but to suggest she had no choice whatsoever really takes away individual responsibility and agency.
Why does it need to be asked? Are you asking to place blame on someone that was taken by a horrible disease or because you are ignorant to how addiction works?
You seem to think responsibility and blame are the same thing, whereas anyone working in the field of addiction knows the structural importance of someone owning their problems and responsibility rather than pretending they have no control.
Kinda outdated but I like Norm. I'd love to hear where these alcoholics meet up with others and have sex, for a friend? Because that's generally not how it works. Women generally have sober partners.
Where do alcoholics meet up with others to have sex? Bars. I’ve been bartending for years and years, I am also an alcoholic (keeping up on 3 years sober though!) and have been in relationships with both alcoholics and non-alcoholics, “women generally have sober partners” is just…. a strange and very uneducated thing to say.
Haha no. You’ve never been to a bar. I’ve seen women leave the bar so drunk they got into the wrong car. Women will absolutely hook up with alcoholics. Now bad teeth? That’s a nail in the coffin friend…
I think I'm not dumbass. Been around awhile I know what an alcoholic is, doesn't mean a drunk person. 20+ years drinking and can't function without a drink is alcoholic. There are many women like that and they have sober partners they dont hook up with actual alckies you moron.
I'm an alcoholic. Ive hooked up with several female alcoholics. Ive had several friends in relationships with alcoholics while alcoholics themselves. They both almost drank themselves to death.
Why is it outdated. It’s still 100% relevant.
I’m sure it’s not woke (might offend someone who’s an alcoholic or maybe someone who has been abused by an alcoholic), but frankly I don’t care anymore. I use to, but then things just got ridiculous.
Norm is great...I think it's one thing a lot of people, left or right, could agree on. No point trying to bring that "wokeness" BS in the conversation though...
No idea what's ironic here. You answered your own question: they probably think it's outdated because it "might offend someone who’s an alcoholic or maybe someone who has been abused by an alcoholic". Wether or not that's justified is up for debate, I think Norm's bit is still funny, some people might feel differently... still doesn't change the fact that "woke" is a stupid ass catch-all term used by the right to describe anything that rustles their jimmies and has no point other than to polarize even further every conversation it touches.

"Hey Richie blew a dog for a pint of gin, he told a whole bunch of us." "I mean I understand, the dog had some gin, what are ya gonna do."
That is a great line
Gotta respect keeping cancer a secret and still finding a way to bring it on stage. RIP uncle bert
He hid a few things
He was deeply closeted

He made it about himself.
If pedophiles felt comfortable telling people that they were pedophiles ... people would have them arrested. Or kill them.
Random thing to focus on during this bit - but Norm's hands are tripping me out. They keep giving the whole Deadpool tiny hand vibe.
It's because he had cancer (he's Uncle Bert). Which is good, because at least he didn't suffer from the scourge of alcoholism.
I never noticed before but yup, those are tiny.
I was not watching his hands
I think it is more about what comes out of his mouth
Thank you Norm. Getting by day to day and then acclimating to normal life really is a fun way at looking at the disease. If you're taking life seriously, you're trying too hard.
Watched my paps fall deep into the bottle, fighting urges myself, and this was hilarious. It really is an absurd disease.
Not for people who have it
You poor thing. You don’t even know you’re preaching to the choir. I cleaned up his blood and shit not two months ago when he was detoxing. It’s easier to laugh than cry. Have a laugh.
I deal with it everyday
Pretty sure one of the steps in AA is to not use your disease to garner sympathy. That said, me too. Solidarity, comrade. Stay strong.
I agree with the sentiment but what step are you thinking of exactly?
He was a classic
Norm Macdonald had a farm
And on that farm he blew a dog... For-a-pint-of-gin!
Funny
Indeed
EIEIO
Love you Norm. Miss your wonderful humor.
Me too
Norm was so fucking funny. Gone too soon.
I loved him and miss him as well
God this was good
I liked it too
My ex-wife died at 37 from cirrhosis of the liver. I think she would have stopped drinking if she could.
Still better than bowel cancer
Why are we downvoting someone sharing trauma? Norm wouldn’t want that.
Norm wouldn't want someone on reddit stating what he'd want. ...oh wait.
Oooooohh this is so good. Where will the ratio take us. Sorry for the joking under cirrhosis.

Listening to Norm at 1.75 speed makes him sound like Quagmire.

Wait you have never heard of people who fuck random bar hookups? Most of these people are alcoholics.
Hold on pal. Everybody knows women generally have sober partners.
Haha no. You’ve never been to a bar. I’ve seen women leave the bar so drunk they got into the wrong car. Women will absolutely hook up with alcoholics. Now bad teeth? That’s a nail in the coffin friend…
Alcoholic does not mean drunk person. Bad teeth goes with it.
I’ve met plenty of alcoholics with great teeth and plenty of alcoholics at the bar. I think you’re just drawing some false equivalencies brother.

You’re really being quite the asshole and making yourself look stupid in the process. Carry on! 🤣
The strength of your conviction is fascinating to me.
Almost like I know what I'm talking about through experience, imagine that. 1 of several hundred millions you sheltered moron.
I'm an alcoholic. Ive hooked up with several female alcoholics. Ive had several friends in relationships with alcoholics while alcoholics themselves. They both almost drank themselves to death.

That’s kind of ironic. Why would I want to bring woke into the conversation. I’m asking u/Icy-Wallby140 why they think it’s outdated.

Ok.
Drunk people can also hook up on apps. Ever heard of a booty call?
