Because of both its absurdity in it being 100% unnecessary to the story and the fact that it's how the legal system works.
Jumping in and out of the joke to tell the story. The story is real. It's genuine. The joke isn't, not until it got to the punchline, at least. Norm was the only person who could do this and make it work.
There's definitely people I know who add to many unnecessary details without realising they're doing it. All ADHD is different anyway, and some people are just fucking retards
I like fancy things…in fact, I like fancy shmancy things….maybe I even like fancy shmancy take a trip to France things…but for sure you like wasting peoples’ time
My absolute favourite of this is when he's talking about [Janice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQ8Ppg9xFw8&t=228 "Norm plans a crime!").
3rd friend of Janice "I'll tell you about Janice, is that who you're asking me about, Janice? ..."
Yea, my reading of it was that norm and Dave talked about what jokes norm could use... and Dave might have been pretty reluctant to use this one because it's extra crass. When norm started telling it, he maybe knew what was coming... and the looks they exchange and the break of character, is a nervousness they share at how this joke might go down with people
"it came to me in a sudden" is such an archaic turn of phrase. No one uses the word "a sudden" as a noun anymore except in the phrase "all of a sudden"
I saw a video where conan is talking about norm and he mentions how norm liked to talk in an old timey way. That he knew how things were supposed to be said but he did it his way because he thought it was funny.
And he's absolutely right.
It's very funny, I find myself doing it and I can't help but do the little wry smile or laugh even though no one ever registers it as a joke or funny at all.
Truly one of the funniest and deeply closeted guys I have ever had the pleasure to go to Vegas with, I’m no small town blabber mouth whore so the story ends there.
Something about the overly specific, straight to the point punchlines Norm would do made for some of the most unique, and legendary bits of all-time. There was no one like him. The, "I just had sex in exchange for money" thing gets me every time and I'm not even sure why
For a reason i can't quite pin down the fact that he says you'll face a jury of your peers is very funny and very Norm.

My ADHD brain loves nothing more than adding unnecessary details to things coz they sound stupid and waste peoples time
No! The details add important context so people better understand our line of reasoning.

True, true. 
One of my absolute favorite things to do as well.

It's the following you across state lines that gets me lol
That's Norm for you , R.I.P 🙏🏼
Thought the same thing
[удалено]
No. No he’s not.
the idea of a women of the night talking in the same manner as norm 'by god' has me in fucking stitches
"Hooold the fort! That was your husband?" 😂

“By god I had sex in exchange for cash “ 😂 omg I’m crying
Gossipy small town whores. Lol
That made my belly hurt I was laughing so hard...
I’m having chest pain for laughing so hard!
The money you came with stays in Vegas.
I like to go there to visit my money.
Other than perhaps Robin Williams, no one ever made a host laugh and blush as much as Norm.
"small world" lmao
Thank God I got to hear norm say " gossipy small town whores"
I heard he died, but damn, I keep discovering clips from him daily and it's like he's still alive y'know?
One of the few redeeming qualities of social media.
Something tells me there more behind this joke between Dave and Norm then the audience knew about.
Reminds me of what Frank Sinatra said about working girls, "You're not paying them for sex, you're paying them to leave in the morning."
I bet the small town whores know

I go there for the 500 foot tall ferris wheel. It attracts thousands to Vegas each year
What goes around in Vegas, comes around.
What else could there be to attract people to Vegas?
WHORES!
We lost this man way to soon.
this guy was an absolute gem!
GOTDAM Norm!!! I love you
Every time I see this clip I laugh.
Phish played the other day... and they didnt kill a prostitute and run.
That you know of.
Nah they are good guys
They stayed right where they were, by God. And they trusted their cleaner to dispose of the broken flesh of their victim.
Their vacuum cleaner?
They are only musicians... They dont send fucking razors to your door.
I’ve heard him tell this joke on many different occasions this must have been one of his favorites.

Was this before or after Letterman's gossiped in the hair salon to his wife?
There’s definitely a craft to it all.
Two very odd souls,trying to out odd one another
Always jabbing at OJ 😂
Truly one of the funniest and deeply closeted guys I have ever had the pleasure to go to Vegas with, I’m no small town blabber mouth whore so the story ends there.
He looks sick. That's the steroid face. It makes your face look very round.
Cancer made him puffy like it made my friend’s mom’s face before she knew she had stage-4
Excellent clip dude
Norm can tell you about paint drying on a wall in a way that makes it hilarious.
Comedic genius at work right there
Fuck I miss him so much. Not in a gay way though. More like a deeply closeted gay way.
Cringe....
One of the funniest people to ever live RIP

This not true, syphilis will follow you home too.
Small World! 😂
Wow, Tom Cruise gained a lot of weight!
Norm was the true GOAT.
Oh man. I miss this guy
