Norm Macdonald knows he's not funny, right?


right? I mean, you can't POSSIBLY be that unfunny and untalented and not know it yet, right? I mean, SOMEBODY has to have told the *beep* He was like the poster child for why SNL went down the tubes. The guy is a zero.

you don't get jokes.

reply

Um, Putz, I "get jokes" when this clown tells one, let me know

reply

How old are you, 12? Did you not see the other roast members laughing?

reply

oh YEA, THERE'S a collection of critics. Jon Lovitz. WHAT A TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha like they weren't THAT boozed up. Please, clown, kill yourself now, do the world a solid

reply

David,

Just cause you were too stupid to get it doesn't mean it's not funny.

All the people on stage were laughing because he was telling corny jokes. He was doing so to make fun of the fact that those were the kind of jokes Saget always told on Full House.

You could've also checked one of the 15 other threads on this topic on here.

But hey, don't waste your time on here. I'm sure you'll love the upcoming future oscar award winning comedy classic "Disaster Movie."

reply

yea, ok putz, just KEEP telling yourself that. ANOTHER moron speaks.

reply

AMEN DAVID. AMEN.

reply

The question should be, the OP does realize he doesn't know what he's talking about, right?

Norm was hilarious. He was telling corny-ass jokes on purpose. The jokes are so bad they're funny. Also, it's funny to see the audience frown and not get it. Did you not see the other roast members cracking up?

Regarding SNL, Norm was hilarious on weekend update. He was only fired because NBC executive Don Ohlmeyer didn't get Norm's humor. They replaced Norm with Colin Quinn, and it was THEN that the show went down the tubes for awhile.

Sorry Mrs. McDonald, I didn't realize I insulted your son. How's the nursing home treating you?

reply

It seemed like me and Bob Saget were the only people to understand Norm's set. About halfway through, Saget started laughing uncontrollably because he realized Norm was saying the worst roast jokes in history with such absence of comedic timing. I thought it was hillarious. Saget was literally crying by the end of it. It was the retards in the audience that didn't get it...

reply

yea, ok putz, keep telling yourself that. I LOVE it when morons try and give themselves credibility by laughing at untalented unfunny people and convinving themselves that they are superior because they are the only ones who "get the jokes" Moron, IF NOBODY GETS THE JOKES, PERHAPS IT'S CUZ THEY AIN'T FUNNY!!!!!!!

I'm Norm Macdonald: "The sky is blue" hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Get it???

Ooops, I guess you have to be "with it" to get that. <sigh> what a schmuck.

reply

davidsco27, you are the true schmuck here. You know how I can tell? Because I made a logical point to you that the other roast members were laughing at Norm's set, and rather than offer an intelligent counterpoint, you ignore my point and instead hurl insults like the insecure, unintelligent loser that you are.

You really like the phrase "keep telling yourself that", don't you? You've said it twice now in this thread. ...Is it too difficult for your adolescent brain to come up with anything new? ...Oh, that's right, I keep forgetting you're only 12.

Well, I'd really like to stay and keep owning your pathetic ass, but I need to go speak with the adults now.

reply

yea, ok putz, just cuz you french kiss with your cat, doesn't give you the right to open your mouth here. I told you, Brain, dick, get them, THEN you can talk. Until then, back to your Half-life game. jerkoff

reply

OP, you're joking right? You can't really be stating the Norm MacDonald's isn't funny right? Good.

reply

yes Mrs. Macdonald, sorry to tell you, but your suspicions were correct, your son just isn't very talented or funny. That was why he bombed on SNL, and why he bombs in life.

reply

davidsco27 go back to watching Carlos Mencia.

What a fool.

reply

good cumback, Putzie

reply

I think he's funny, so he must be doing something right. I'm sure he is fully aware that many people will hate his stuff. That's probably why he does it. I find him funny more than half of the time. He shreds the idea of working on comic timing by working on having none.

Procrastination fools you into thinking you succeed merely by not failing.

reply

davidsco27, it seems you're the only sane person on this board, why does everyone think norm mcdonald is a genius.

He's just an average comic with no particularly outstanding talent for comedy. All the bad jokes he did in that routine aren't far-removed from the horrible jokes he does in his regular comedy act.

I've seen them on youtube. His stand-up act is full of dry, trite, boring observations about how sitting in the backseat of a car during a long trip alienates you from the folks in the front seat of the car, or how sometimes you wake up during a good dream and then you try to go back to sleep to re-enter the dream, you know, dumb, retarded stuff that I've seen tons of other comics do. Nothing unique, nothing that stands out, yet these morons worship Norm like he's some Hicks-level genius.

You WILL respect my AUTHORITAAAAH !!!!

reply

I agree with davidsco27. Why does everyone here claim they are the only one who gets Norm's jokes? Does that make you special? No. Of course not. Just because his humor may be hard for some to wrap their heads around, does not mean that he's funny. Is it just me, or did everyone else also see that NO ONE in the audience laughed. The other comedians fake-laughed through it, like they got what Norm was trying to do because his timing was way off and I refuse to believe that could provoke any kind of actual laughter.

reply

the people on stage laughed because they were drunk, and high, and because it would've been impolite for them to sit there straight faced during his routine, as everyone else watching him was, as was everyone who had to endure the turd when he was on SNL, as with Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, the twit on 30 Suck, and most of the other SNL cast over the past 20 years

reply

Hmm, 4 consecutive posts from davidsco27. He's apparently somebody who keeps muttering to himself even after everyone has left the room.

Here's my impression of davidsco27 replying to any post which has a logical point: "Yeah, keep telling yourself that, putz. I'll laugh at Norm MacDonald when he tells a joke that's FUNNY. Schmuck. You need to get yourself a brain and a dick. Otherwise, you'll never be a dickbrain like me. ...Wait, is that what I meant to say? (thinks about this, eyes glaze over awhile, ...shakes his head violently, yells to empty room:) Putz! Schmuck! (sees no one has replied to his post, then posts again) Idiot! douche! (Men in white jackets come and slowly drag him away as he continues to mutter to no one in particular.) Keep telling yourself that! Putz! Idiot!

reply

you HAVE no life, do you? oh yea, you're a fan of this clown, 'nuff said. Your mom have any kids that lived???

reply

"Your mom have any kids that lived???"

Wow, that's A+ comedy material right there. Norm MacDonald needs to hire you as his writer. You could sure teach him a thing or two about comedy.

reply

The REALLY sad thing is, as old as that is, it's better than ANYTHING that worthless, talentless piece of camel dung has EVER said. HE IS NOT FUNNY, HE IS NOT TALENTED. PEOPLE SIT AND WATCH THE A-HOLE STRAIGHT FACED BECAUSE HE IS NOT FUNNY. HIS CAREER IS IN THE TOILET BECAUSE AFTER LORNE MICHAELS, WHO HAS BECOME HIGHLY SUSPECT FOR HIS CHOICES AFTER THE ORIGINAL CAST, NOBODY ELSE WANTS THE LAME PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR SMEGMA

reply

Kunle2002, always nice to see a breath of fresh air in a sea of morons.

OMGWTF U R RETARTED NORM I SNOT FUNNY JUST KILL URSELF U R MRS MCDONALD

Very thoughtful points, davidsco27. You've given us all something to think about.
