Adam Carolla and Norm MacDonald break down Kenny Rogers' Ruby

[@robertjohnson4301]

One of the best radio bits ever. Adam and norm both killing it. Especially Adam. I can't breathe from laughing

[@ArrestedDeveloper]

Probably my favorite segment in the entire ACS history. Still have it saved on my iPod to this day.

[@OlviMasta77]

Still got that ipod?

[@ChronicDreamer1st]

5:29 - 5:50 Norm kills the whole room, everyone went silent and started desperately choking back laughter

[@enak413]

He argued Ruby shouldn't go to town ... but he didn't have a leg to stand on

[@robertjohnson4301]

I wanna hear William Shatner do a spoken word performance album of Kenny Rogers most depressing hits. 🤣

[@ronswansonsdog2833]

I’d buy it.

[@SmackDab]

I don’t pay for music. But I would pay for that.

[@romeoromero9612]

I'd buy that for a dollar

[@TELEthruVOXx]

Hope never dies. Even after the 101st time

[@ChunkeeNoodleSoup]

"I stepped on a land mine and now I have cancer." For some reason that made me lol.

[@williamh123456789]

That didn't age well

[@commonlogic3646]

Damn bro

[@mhartonthego]

Love to hear Norm laughing so hard..comedy Gold

[@HamiltonProdTV]

Don't forget "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille." When the farmer's wife leaves her husband and kids to pick up the singer at a bar!

[@jmr3110]

classic. i miss these guys talkin bout things that are awesome

[@xandercrews4729]

Two legends

[@MissyZilla]

Kenny Rogers is the fucking man.

[@bigtube12345]

Thanks for all those pictures there pal... My command of the english language is such that I would have had trouble following it otherwise.

[@bobofwinnipeg9455]

Have bruised ribs. Shouldn't have listened to this. It hurts.

[@killerb6792]

This is more depressing than Cats in the Cradle. That's why I've always loved it.

[@tiggurai]

I loved this appearance. I wonder if that story Norm told about "mowing the lawn" was true.

[@mjo8585]

Do you have the other two parts to this interview. when they talk about the gambler and coward of the county

[@tomholihan4850]

Norm has gotten so much ink this year given his book and short stint as 'The Colonel', but nothing tops some of these gems from his "Phenomen' like flirt with absolute supremacy in the latter 00's.

[@Sgtvalentini]

5:37 thank you norm

[@thelordofhellaz]

Mel Tillis wrote "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town". It was the true story of his neighbor at the time who was a Vietnam vet..........and in the end, he did kill his wife.

[@dillonwalshpvd]

Mel Tillis said the song was about a WWII vet, dude

[@thelordofhellaz]

@@dillonwalshpvd There goes my memory, it was about a WWII vet from the Japanese front.

[@MEpianist]

I love that song, including Simian Mobile Disco's cover of it.

[@VernaCunningham-sz9uz]

Who is the gal's voice, in the background? Does anyone know?

[@whocares9981]

R.I.P

[@sunshinepurple1043]

Mel Tillis wrote it. Story is based on a news story about a Korean war vet. Not Vietnam. Regular sex, much less oral, wasn't talked about much in public much less in music. Still a very funny analysis. 💖

[@cmmmmmmmw]

Yeah there are no songs about sex, especially not from the 1960s.

[@hebber1961]

I like Ruby.

[@sumthingwickedly]

Don't give a flying fk about celebrities dying but Norm hurts and wish they'd took every song to bits 🤣🤣

[@liverluver2571]

Leonard Nimoy does a killer version of Ruby

[@stewpadasso297]

Yes he does. Hilarious.

[@KickItToTheFunk]

i love this, death and death talking about kenny rogers. like this if you know what i even mean

[@joshwilliams6212]

10 years later, but i got it, if you know, you know..... Giggety

[@KickItToTheFunk]

@@joshwilliams6212 Hahaha. I don't even remember leaving this comment, but now I have pieced it all together as long as it took you to, so I guess I'm the new one to this idea. Still love it.

[@sofaking8754]

I forgot adam made that appearance. Norms was classic and has a funny story on being recognized on a plane about being death.I wonder if the two of them realized it

[@markrobbins1046]

How many think Ruby didn't go to town?

[@rossmcginnis268]

Actually it was about Korea.

[@Babek79]

@thelordofhellaz Nah it was originally about a WWII vet but then changed it to Korean war. It had nothing to do about Vietnam.

[@christineplymouth3271]

BTW, the song was written by Mel Tillis, not Kenny Rogers.

[@marshallposey2063]

Mel Tillis wrote it

[@pretorious700]

"rapist search"...funniest goddamn picture ever

[@Justen1980]

best kenny rogers song 'I just checked in to see what condition my condition is in." singing about crazy acid trip

[@pawlpoche8736]

Kenny’s of the hook

[@james10739]

I remember coward of the country but I don't remember this one

[@michaelelliott1212]

Most popular songs can be made fun of. "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Freddie Mercury was the king of comical rock), "Stairway to Heaven," "Run, Joey Run," "Seasons In The Sun." And so on and so forth.

[@mocus1]

"Ruby" was written by Mel TTTTTTTTTTTT-illis.

[@walkertongdee]

The lyric means not to count on your money, your possible winnings DUH.

[@remyschrader9286]

Lol she's just working a weekend cocktail shift because the VA check barely covers rent. My guy is in a dark place because she still goes down on him and he don't feel a thing.

[@daytonafreakboy]

NooOOoooRM!!!!

[@markrush5013]

mel tillis wrote that great song.the first edition was a great band.kenny rogers got more tang than youve had pisses.

[@nadagabri5783]

NORM ❤️💜💚💙❣️ funniest AC bit, I’ve ever heard. He is ok to listen to, yet not epic funny like this and of course with NORM

[@jeckalbr69]

@thSubliminalCriminal Too late. Good idea though

[@turdferguson74]

Maybe she was in town makin the money for him

[@fuckfuckfuck1]

@ace11rothstein Adam's show caught a lot of shit for that. He ended up apologizing to some Asian group while Norm refused to say he was sorry. hahahah

[@mackhomie6]

fuckfuckfuck1 not true. norm apologized, shockingly.

[@grav0ty]

All i hear is death from family guy.

[@UnauthorizedComedy]

This was the crap that radio stations kicked the crap out of in the late 70s. Kenny Rogers was hugely popular and touring so they played all of his songs. Anyone who is over 45 knows this and many other horrible songs by country crossover artists. I laughed my ass off at the analysis, mostly because I was so young when it came out and didn't understand the lyrics. Adam Carolla is a genius.

[@existenceisrelative]

Nope, not buying it. I still think that carolla and macdonald are the same person. They just call him macdonald when he's being funny. And they call him carolla when he's being an asshole.

[@grav0ty]

Never seen someone take offense to such a simple statement... LOL YOU MAD?

[@keithmbn]

haha T T T T haha

[@CZRXCZR]

1 person is bent and paralyzed

[@AM-ef6er]

BENT

[@garypic4083]

Norm was a freaking Genius, Adam at his best is still a 3rate hack

[@singingfan]

bent and paralyzed! lol

[@OGRE_HATES_NERDS]

why is there a girl on a radio show? makes no sense

[@bruceward97]

Snarky

[@jvondd]

Wow. This song is horrible.

[@thecooltactition81]

“Strange gooks” hahahahah
