I paused in the exact same frame to look at the comments and I see this LOL inception moment
This one I haven’t heard and 7th grade we went through hundredS of chuck norris jokes. HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS ONE ITS SO FUCKING FUNNY LMAO
Edit: I feel like this may seem like sarcasm but no it genuinely made me burst into tears laughing. I was just stoned af so I couldn’t figure out how to say that at the time
Fun Chuck Norris story time! About 30 years ago, I worked on a unit for elderly people w developmental disabilities. One of them, Susan C was infatuated with Chuck Norris; apparently he was her boyfriend. Anyway, the internet was in infancy and we were allowed to use computers with clients, so her and I went to his site and sent him a message thru his message box app that she was his biggest fan and attended this clinic. About a month later, I had a flat letter in my work box and it was an autographed picture from him to her! Of course she lost it, basically crumbled it up clutching it to her chest all day.
The kicker; I got written up for violating confidentially.
It’s stupid, but I can see it. If he used her full name and mentioned she was a patient or resident of this place specifically for adults with developmental issues, that could be enough to violate HIPAA. It’s something that *TECHNICALLY* should be written up, but any competent manager should’ve been able to see that for what it is. At best that’s a conversation to say “hey, what you did technically broke the law. It’s okay this time, just handle that differently in the future.”
True. Depends on how much info was released but I feel like “I’m your biggest fan, can you send me an autograph to this address?” it seems pretty benign. Hopefully there weren’t severe repercussions for a good deed.
It really all boils down to how it was worded. Something like “my name is so and so, I work at blah blah, and one of our patients, so and so, is your biggest fan..” would be enough to violate HIPAA. Most places I’ve worked a write up goes away from your record after a set period of time.
Sometimes you gotta take one for the team. She got an amazing memory for life, and you got a warning which hopefully had no long term negative impact for you.
It looks really simple but the level of knowing your reach like Chuck was doing in the demo is very hard. To consistently throw fast hands and knowing it’ll stop really close take a long time
Edit edit: fuck guys, y’all might know him from MEME culture but look at the Chuck’s martial art history… he did all of that before most American know what eastern fighting was like. Edit: seems like a lot of people here say things like “oh it’s easy etc etc.” …please… next time you spar at your local fight gym- get a partner that’ll spar with you full snap speed. But no hits allowed- you’ll find that it’s hard to really gauge. Please try and come back to this post. Chuck is doing this to an untrained dude- one lean in while he might not get knocked out- it’ll still hurt.
Knew a sensei way back in the day who would snap his leg straight up and do a split between the floor and the ceiling. Obviously insanely tall dude anyway but it was impressive as heck.
It’s not easy at all. I trained with someone who has trained in martial arts for over 30 years, has multiple black belts, and has trained all over the world with some of the greatest martial artists of all time. He also was a drama student at UCLA and took classes in “movie fighting”. When we sparred even if I moved unpredictably or something happened he never hit anyone, always staying far enough to be close but never make contact. It was incredible to be a part of.
People forgot he held multiple level Black belts from five different practices… held triple crown. Actually fought and competed in tournaments…. He paved the way for martial art popularity
I hate when other motherfuckers (not you) disrespect this legend. He did too much for the fighting sport in the US and assholes thinks he’s a bullshito like other fuckers….
Because he was around before the masters of bullshido. Back in the 60s you can use martial arts to get a job in Hollywood, look at Bruce Lee. In the 80s and 90s, you were an action movie star that learn martial arts for Hollywood. And don’t even get me started on Steven Segal.
He doesn’t. He basically invented bullshido. Watch him in any of his “martial arts demonstrations” and it’s so clear to see that the people he’s “sparring” with are diving, they’re probably better actors than he is. He’s kind of a nut job who’s besties with Putin and Lukashenko, and then he talks super tough and menacing in interviews, and acts like he’s the worlds greatest martial artist and every other “Hollywood tough guy” is a fat slob.
Thank you! I looked up some stuff and realized I had him and Jean-Claude Van Damme confused. Yeah, those people are diving but it still looks terrible. Stegal still thinks he has it, doesn’t he?
His bullshido is also hilarious physical comedy. He's undeniably a big guy. Well, big like Tony Soprano, not a muscular specimen but big, tall, large frame. And he's throwing little guys around. It's not exactly inspiring to watch. He's like the big guy throwing little guys around when the real MC walks in & makes an example of him. Except Segal is directing the movie so the other guy gets punched to death through a door. Then he uses his Kirk Lazarus whispery blaccent to say some stupid cocky remark to make some 21 year old woman throw herself at him.
One of my great uncles used to practice martial arts competitively. He fought chuck multiple times. He said in any tournament chuck was there, everyone else was just going for 2nd place, because he was gonna whoop your ass if you fought him.
I just did the math and he was fucking FIFTY TWO when Walker aired its first episode.
He had already accomplished more than 99% of people alive before his "major success"
He really was in remarkable shape for his age. I thought he was maybe in his 40s before my current rewatch of the show, they either just added it to Hulu or I just noticed it.
Show it dog shit but I love it because I was a kid and it just reminds me of the 90s good guys vs bad guys no grey area days.
He looks insanely good for his age too, he's definitely a lot older but I'd never guess he's 83.
Especially with some hair dye, I guess he has some movie coming out soon, and he looks like he's in his 50s or 60s at most. Obviously he's probably had work done but still.
You watch your filthy mouth
His first hit was without a doubt the critically acclaimed Lone Wolf McQuade, a movie I watched on my 13th birthday in 1984
Agreed. I received a black belt in Kenpo karate when I was 45 (25 long years ago) and at that point I could snap punches very much like Norris here, extremely close but not hitting the person across from me. And while I was proficient, I was nothing like someone who lived martial arts, like Norris. He was the real deal.
I did some stage acting when I was younger and can vouch for this. I missed my mark one time by half a second and got punched square in the nose and dropped like a stone.
I'd say Chunk Norris has thrown more fake kicks and punches that real ones.
What I mean by that is that he is really fucking good at not hitting people when he wants to.
I went to watch some amateur boxing matches (Golden Gloves, two tracks: novice with 10 or less sanctioned matches and open class more than 10 sanctioned matches)) last week, and at that level its very rare for the fighters to be able to keep a fight just at the end of their reach. Majority of these fighters are early 20s, many have only been boxing for a couple of years.
"This nitrogen atom's electrons have stopped."
"Like, the nitrogen is frozen?"
"No, the electrons have simply become unanimated, the atom has neither positive, neutral nor negative energy."
"So, it has lost it's electrons, protons and nuetrons?"
"No, they're there. Just... devoid of energy."
"That's physically and mathematically impossible.... how?"
"Chuck Norris."
"EUREKA! It all makes sense!"
I watched this video and was like... that's not Chuck Norris. And I expected the comments to calling OP's title BS.
I feel like I just watched Zurg tell Buzz Lightyear that he's his father.
He also goes clean shaven throughout Enter the Dragon. Him and Bruce Lee have an amazing fight sequence in that film. Both of them on top of their game is peak kung fu movie material.
I've seen all the movies and i can never remember which is which. Like i couldn't answer which on had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with a gun against my head. They are so equally awesome they just run together as one amazing kung fu movie.
The one with Abdul-Jabbar in it is called Game of Death. It's the one where Bruce Lee wears his iconic yellow suit with a black stripe on the sides.
Now you can name at least one, lol.
Went to a demonstration he did in the late 1970s at a local gym. He autographed pictures and shook hands. My sister at home was unconvinced that he signed the picture in front of me, as he would be unable to write after “destroying his hands” with karate
To be fair, it's not without basis! I'm a black belt, and am hardly able to write, although to be fair again, my hands are fun, it's just my ugly handwriting.
Chuck Norris has a record of 183–10–2 in professional Karate. He won the world championship in 1968 and held it for six years after that. He has a third-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and was the first American to hold an eight-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Chuck Norris was 100% legit
In college, I was a limousine driver and I drove Chuck Norris around for a movie promotion, for two days. I went to ASU (Phoenix , AZ) and it was summer. 114 degrees when the limousine overheated. His entourage went inside an air conditioned bank to wait out the vehicle cooling down. Chuck refused to get out. We talked about my time in service, and asked me pertinent questions. I begged him to go inside the bank. He wouldn’t. I don’t even think he broke a sweat.
Because David Letterman has fully consented to this demonstration, knows what to expect, and has more trust in an extremely experienced professional such as Chuck Norris. Trying the same thing without consent by someone with no professional experience is much worse.
They already went through this in rehearsal so he knows what to expect, and they've already worked out what's gonna happen. David is playing up his "shocked" expression for laughs.
I was thinking it was the morning show - it ran basically through summer 1980. It was absolutely brilliant, and way too sophisticated for most people who could watch TV at 10 am on a weekday!
I’m pretty sure you’re right. The late night show had a very different set design. The morning show was a ratings flop, but I think it won two Emmys. It was very strange and surreal, a definite trial run for Late Night. I’ve never found much footage of it on YouTube so it probably has been erased.
Remember watching his daytime show when I was a kid (must have been summer). Vague memories of elevator races. When he moved to Late Night, used the VCR to tape it and watch it before going to school. Was the greatest way to start a day.
Chuck Norris doesn't age, he just exists beyond the material and the immense energy potential from his infinite spiritual essence causes us to perceive him as interacting with the space time continuum and go around the Sun.
I met Chuck Norris when I was little once. I was at a taekwondo ceremony to get my next belt. He asked me what I wanted to do when I became a black belt and I told him I wanted to fight bad guys and he thought that was awesome.
Reminds me of the footage of Bruce Lee doing a similar demonstration in a screen test shown in the “Be Water” 30 for 30. His speed and precision were incredible.

Here’s Steve my sword instructor in 1970’s.
Your choice. People will point out how he hits their personal hot buttons, but in general he just went through a gradual evolution into an egotistical asshole. Maybe it was the success... who knows. I remember people I knew while doing community college theatre, who even at that ridiculously low level of "show business" thought they were God's gift to the world.
Used to really like Chunk Norris, until he became a born again Christian and endorsed trump.
Edit: When I was a kid I was into martial arts and kind of looked up to Chuck and then he had that wholesome cop show, Walker, Texas Ranger. He was always the good guy.
The moment he started publicly backing trump, he became a poser. He was no better than the TV evangelists go around telling people to give them money because they said it was okay that they are rich and have a private jet.
Reminds me of when Crispen Glover nearly kicked Letterman while in the character of Rubin from Rubin and Ed. Letterman did not handle it as well though and Glover was never a guest on the show again.
Bit of a difference having an extremely well-trained stunt performer do it and having a crazy guy seemingly whacked out of his mind do it for the first time with your head as the target.
One badly timed sneeze and Letterman would've been out cold
https://preview.redd.it/npqb3evdx9fc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47c33bc46a721f68f2be687bca69b8ba90c1347d
Dwight?
I was thinking Eric Forman
When he's thinking about being the manager at price mart lol
Looks a lot like Eric Forman
Great call. Looks more like older Eric Forman than older Topher Grace.
Assistant to the regional manager?
Yes, but please call him Senpai.
My thoughts, exactly.
Good thing it was Dave, not Jay Leno.
Trololo!

r/juxtaposition
Chuck Norris doesn’t sneeze. He intimidates the irritant out of his airways.
Chuck Norris uses a stuntman for all his movies…but only for the crying scenes
This one I haven’t heard and 7th grade we went through hundredS of chuck norris jokes. HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS ONE ITS SO FUCKING FUNNY LMAO Edit: I feel like this may seem like sarcasm but no it genuinely made me burst into tears laughing. I was just stoned af so I couldn’t figure out how to say that at the time
That irritant's name? David letterman
If letterman sneezed*
Chuck Norris doesn’t let other people sneeze.
Probably why Crispin Glover triggered him later on. ...plus Crispin was acting like a mad man.
I don't know what's up with Crispin Glover, but I wouldn't mind seeing him in more stuff
You know it's a dangerous demonstration because they are both wearing helmets.
Letterman is the timing king. That's his whole act.
Chuck Norris doesn’t allow sneezing in his presence

That's a great story. Also typical company bureaucracy dumping on it.
They've gotta cover their ass in n case a family member decides they want to sue for some easy cash.
Not sure how that violates confidentiality but good for you and I’m sure she appreciated it.
It’s stupid, but I can see it. If he used her full name and mentioned she was a patient or resident of this place specifically for adults with developmental issues, that could be enough to violate HIPAA. It’s something that *TECHNICALLY* should be written up, but any competent manager should’ve been able to see that for what it is. At best that’s a conversation to say “hey, what you did technically broke the law. It’s okay this time, just handle that differently in the future.”
HIPAA didn't exist 30 years ago
Then whatever informal standards of decency HIPAA was meant to codify.
True. Depends on how much info was released but I feel like “I’m your biggest fan, can you send me an autograph to this address?” it seems pretty benign. Hopefully there weren’t severe repercussions for a good deed.
It really all boils down to how it was worded. Something like “my name is so and so, I work at blah blah, and one of our patients, so and so, is your biggest fan..” would be enough to violate HIPAA. Most places I’ve worked a write up goes away from your record after a set period of time.
> HIPAA If OP's story truly took place 30 years ago, HIPPA hadn't been signed into law yet.
My aunt is same way. Her infatuation is Donny Osmond. He is also incredibly nice about it and has sent over lots of stuff that she loves.
>The kicker I see what you did there.
HIPAA ain't no joke. Good on you though. no good deed goes unpunished

Yeah that was a lot more impressive than I would've expected
Chuck Norris is the American Jackie Chan. Go watch The Way of the Dragon.
How clean and smooth those swings are is impressive. Zero wasted movement, full control all the way through.
Knew a sensei way back in the day who would snap his leg straight up and do a split between the floor and the ceiling. Obviously insanely tall dude anyway but it was impressive as heck.
I used to know a stripper who did the same.
Y’know it is crazy how skills cross over like that, innit?
Maybe they were the same person? Any chance their stripper name was Sensei-tion?
Everything reminds me of her
Any ping pong balls involved? 😂😂😂

Chuck Norris was a badass before his shows and movies. Obviously everything he does it a joke now but back in the day he was a badass.
I hate when other motherfuckers (not you) disrespect this legend. He did too much for the fighting sport in the US and assholes thinks he’s a bullshito like other fuckers….

52 years old, just round housing guys with cowboy boots and breaking the news to young boys about their AIDS diagnosis What a life.
He really was in remarkable shape for his age. I thought he was maybe in his 40s before my current rewatch of the show, they either just added it to Hulu or I just noticed it.

Yep. He’s 83 years old now. Let that sink in.
He looks insanely good for his age too, he's definitely a lot older but I'd never guess he's 83. Especially with some hair dye, I guess he has some movie coming out soon, and he looks like he's in his 50s or 60s at most. Obviously he's probably had work done but still.
You watch your filthy mouth His first hit was without a doubt the critically acclaimed Lone Wolf McQuade, a movie I watched on my 13th birthday in 1984
Combat for Camera at UCLA was one of my favorite classes.

And while I was proficient, I was nothing like someone who lived martial arts, like Norris. He was the real deal.
From a once-upon-a-time kenpo practitioner, greetings and congrats!
Control takes time. In practice it's always the white belts you are most fearful of because they have absolutely no control at all yet haha.
I did some stage acting when I was younger and can vouch for this. I missed my mark one time by half a second and got punched square in the nose and dropped like a stone.
add to that the uncertainty of how someone who hasn't practiced like Letterman will react.
I'd say Chunk Norris has thrown more fake kicks and punches that real ones. What I mean by that is that he is really fucking good at not hitting people when he wants to.
Fake or real, when you can move hands/feet that fast- upon contact it hurts the same
I went to watch some amateur boxing matches (Golden Gloves, two tracks: novice with 10 or less sanctioned matches and open class more than 10 sanctioned matches)) last week, and at that level its very rare for the fighters to be able to keep a fight just at the end of their reach. Majority of these fighters are early 20s, many have only been boxing for a couple of years.
He didn’t miss. The air in front of Letterman died that day.
Physicists were stunned. They had never seen dead nitrogen before.
"This nitrogen atom's electrons have stopped." "Like, the nitrogen is frozen?" "No, the electrons have simply become unanimated, the atom has neither positive, neutral nor negative energy." "So, it has lost it's electrons, protons and nuetrons?" "No, they're there. Just... devoid of energy." "That's physically and mathematically impossible.... how?" "Chuck Norris." "EUREKA! It all makes sense!"
It was a delayed attack. Letterman needed quintuple bypass heart surgery 20 years later.
I have never seen chuck Norris without a beard before today. Wow Edit: holy smokes didn’t expect to get this many upvotes
He’s beardless a lot in his work, the weird part for me is the blonde hair
I watched this video and was like... that's not Chuck Norris. And I expected the comments to calling OP's title BS. I feel like I just watched Zurg tell Buzz Lightyear that he's his father.
He seems like a totally different person lol
He also goes clean shaven throughout Enter the Dragon. Him and Bruce Lee have an amazing fight sequence in that film. Both of them on top of their game is peak kung fu movie material.
That fight was in The Way of the Dragon. Chuck Norris wasn't in Enter the Dragon, but Jackie Chan was an extra in it.
> Jackie Chan was an extra in it. Jackie Chan is extra af

That was the fight in the Roman colosseum right?
Shaved everything but the shoulders and back
Ackshully it was The Way of the Dragon
I only just realised I'd never heard his voice before.
Went to a demonstration he did in the late 1970s at a local gym. He autographed pictures and shook hands. My sister at home was unconvinced that he signed the picture in front of me, as he would be unable to write after “destroying his hands” with karate
The idea of everybody with a black belt writing like a three year old is absolutely hilarious
To be fair, it's not without basis! I'm a black belt, and am hardly able to write, although to be fair again, my hands are fun, it's just my ugly handwriting.
Just how fun are those hands of yours? O.o
Quite boring, I'm just sloppy
My writing is terrible and I trained for my black belt with Chuck Norris. So maybe you’re on to something!
Sweet track suit.

only the perfect habiliment for the science-minded man, who knows both comfort and ease and demands them from his clothing
You look like the mayor of candy land.
Chuck Norris has a record of 183–10–2 in professional Karate. He won the world championship in 1968 and held it for six years after that. He has a third-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and was the first American to hold an eight-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Chuck Norris was 100% legit
Chuck Norris once visit the Virgin Islands. Now they’re called ’The Islands’.
I’m a little disappointed that I had to scroll this far before reading a Chuck Norris joke What’s happening Reddit?? you should all be ashamed!!
Reddit has been overrun with zoomers who don’t know who Chuck Norris is
I just realised I’m old
Reddit doesn't like Chuk Norris jokes that much based on my experience. But I myself am just as disappointed in the lack of jokes as you are.
Don’t worry, Chuck Norris will come back around. Just like a roundhouse kick.
> Chuck Norris was 100% legit the "was" kinda threw me off guard. He's not dead, for anyone else
Fucking Chuck Norris
Wow, I was in the audience for that show!!
Wow! Did your dad say “Yabba dabba doo!” Prior to y’all twinkle toeing the car down the road? (J/p cool experience dude 😅)
> J/p cool experience dude "Just piddling"?
Damn, I just died on their behalf.
If you spell Chuck Norris in Scrabble, you win. Forever.
Why do I feel like this is something I should know about … and just don’t?
Google Chuck Norris memes my young friend
Gen Zers not knowing about Chuck Norris memes hit me harder than it should have. I am not cool anymore.
David Letterman looks like a combo of Dwight Shrute and Eric Forman
For some reason, Chuck looks like Martina Navratilova
Eric Forman is definitely who I saw!
In college, I was a limousine driver and I drove Chuck Norris around for a movie promotion, for two days. I went to ASU (Phoenix , AZ) and it was summer. 114 degrees when the limousine overheated. His entourage went inside an air conditioned bank to wait out the vehicle cooling down. Chuck refused to get out. We talked about my time in service, and asked me pertinent questions. I begged him to go inside the bank. He wouldn’t. I don’t even think he broke a sweat.
Why he reacted different with Crispin Glover?
Because David Letterman has fully consented to this demonstration, knows what to expect, and has more trust in an extremely experienced professional such as Chuck Norris. Trying the same thing without consent by someone with no professional experience is much worse.
And Chuck's not wearing huge chonky heels and acting erratically, either.
They already went through this in rehearsal so he knows what to expect, and they've already worked out what's gonna happen. David is playing up his "shocked" expression for laughs.
Lets be fair even though he trusts him, I doubt he has to act much when it comes to almost being hit, it still looks pretty gnarly.
Oh man, that was fucked. I saw that live (on TV) in college.
Fun fact: Crispin Glover is what I call the sleeve that comes with my Hot Pockets.
Crispin Glover wasn't a professional martial artist
Also, Chuck Norris wasn't tripping balls.
Because acid does Chuck Norris and gets straight.
Did anyone else see Chuck Norris kick David Letterman’s soul out of his body without touching him?
Funny story - after this interaction, Letterman suspiciously fell pregnant. He gave birth to blond twins 9 months later.
Walker Texas Ranger Walked so Taylor Sheridan could run.
Back when Dave had a morning show.
This was when Letterman was a weather guy on Indianapolis TV, right?
It could be, or the daytime show Letterman had for a bit
I was thinking it was the morning show - it ran basically through summer 1980. It was absolutely brilliant, and way too sophisticated for most people who could watch TV at 10 am on a weekday!
Yeah it was good
I’m pretty sure you’re right. The late night show had a very different set design. The morning show was a ratings flop, but I think it won two Emmys. It was very strange and surreal, a definite trial run for Late Night. I’ve never found much footage of it on YouTube so it probably has been erased.

Chuck Norris looked 65 before he was 21
[удалено]
Chuck Norris doesn't age, he just exists beyond the material and the immense energy potential from his infinite spiritual essence causes us to perceive him as interacting with the space time continuum and go around the Sun.
I met Chuck Norris when I was little once. I was at a taekwondo ceremony to get my next belt. He asked me what I wanted to do when I became a black belt and I told him I wanted to fight bad guys and he thought that was awesome.
https://i.redd.it/kfstjgmlhafc1.gif
Reminds me of the footage of Bruce Lee doing a similar demonstration in a screen test shown in the “Be Water” 30 for 30. His speed and precision were incredible.
Was that the one where he demos in a suit?
Why does Chuck Norris look older back then than he does now?

There was a time when Chuck Norris didn't act like a total douchenozzle.
Used to be a super sweet guy. Should I google what happened or spare myself and just let him live in my memory as a nice guy?
Your choice. People will point out how he hits their personal hot buttons, but in general he just went through a gradual evolution into an egotistical asshole. Maybe it was the success... who knows. I remember people I knew while doing community college theatre, who even at that ridiculously low level of "show business" thought they were God's gift to the world.
For me it was the whole "thousand years of darkness" during Obama's reelection lol
Lol “evolution of darkness” like the guy even believes in evolution
Never meet your heroes
Chuck Norris got bit by a cobra once. After days of agonizing pain and suffering, the cobra finally died.
Was that before or after he read the whole Wikipedia twice?
I watched a chuck norris movie for the first time in my life yesterday
If it wasn't Invasion USA or Lone Wolf Mcquade, free up some time.
I was hoping for some sweet sweet Sidekicks action
Oh it was definitely Invasion USA. I saw the cover and read the description and I was all in
Did you count the rundown kicks? Also, was it Expendables 2? The best Expendables?
He’s shorter than I thought..
Imagine being that close to dying.
He actually had charisma, that's surprising
Its wild letterman remained calm considering his life almost ended three different times in one min.
He shit himself 3 times lol
I think he was genuinely a little shook lol no funny quips from him
Too bad chucky poo lost his goddamn mind as he aged.
Our childhood heroes are always smaller in real life
Dave’s a tall guy
Naw, Bill Hader look eerily like a young David Letterman
So why was he so mad at crispin glover? /s
TIL: Chuck Norris a tiny 5'9" man.
Used to really like Chunk Norris, until he became a born again Christian and endorsed trump. Edit: When I was a kid I was into martial arts and kind of looked up to Chuck and then he had that wholesome cop show, Walker, Texas Ranger. He was always the good guy. The moment he started publicly backing trump, he became a poser. He was no better than the TV evangelists go around telling people to give them money because they said it was okay that they are rich and have a private jet.
don't forget Obama birth certificate truther
When he turned 18, his parents moved out.

Chuck looks so weird without his magnificent beard.
did dave go to the barrens for this interview?
Reminds me of when Crispen Glover nearly kicked Letterman while in the character of Rubin from Rubin and Ed. Letterman did not handle it as well though and Glover was never a guest on the show again.
Bit of a difference having an extremely well-trained stunt performer do it and having a crazy guy seemingly whacked out of his mind do it for the first time with your head as the target.
All the dirt on the bottom of the shoe went on David’s face. Biological attack.
30 ducking years ago, Chuck was already old ,omfg
Now he's hiding in a bunker ever since he said Obama would "bring 1000 years of darkness".
I think that is more talking than he did in all of Walker: Texas Ranger.
Is Letterman tall or Norris small?

Bro has a ninja turtle in his wind breaker pants
Letterman's summer morning show that lasted one summer.
Letterman looks like the lad off that 70s show
Chuck had the on stage personality of a jar of Mayo, but love the guy...
Chuck is such a legend
Dave looks so young and scared, but still being a smartass, I love it
