Norm Crosby on The Dean Martin Show

[@nightowl5475]

The thing I most loved about Norm’s act is the great applause and ovulation from the audience. You know, they don’t make comedians like that anymore. You can reach out and sense the love and constipation from the building. It’s really a moving experience!

[@GaryKarr]

Plus Norm had a great self-defecating sense of humor.

[@daryllect6659]

I degree totally.

[@dewanevl]

A man of depth and perversion.

[@stevenschuyler9527]

Such a fiberous speaking affliction comes from this man's vocal canalities.

[@serenabussell8489]

Touche'

[@Baci302]

The man was a genius. I'm so grateful to have grown up with such talented entertainers.

[@rsprockets7846]

yeah they all gone now

[@Cashcrop54]

He was so funny! I recently saw him for the first time in years on an episode of the best of Ed Sullivan. Then I had to look him up on YT. It had been 15+ years since I thought of him.

[@suepatella5247]

Love this guy. What a genius act! Coming up with the wrong words for everything is a special mind set. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@rsprockets7846]

An art..malpropisms

[@paulh7589]

I had tickets to bring a date to his show. My date's latitude made us miss the show. I was humidified!

[@mariananesi3963]

I watched him throughout my childhood. He was hilarious but I think he messed with my head, I ended up being an English major in college.

[@deniaridley]

😂 Me too, maybe that was why!

[@sharonelliott2366]

Me, too

[@serenabussell8489]

He drove my mom absolutely crazy.

[@keymusic]

I was very influenced by him as a kid also. Almost everything I say now is a malapropism, and sometimes even intentionally. 😝

[@fawazassaf5677]

I thimk there can never be another norm. I loved every thing he says and does. Rip

[@TubenIt83]

RIP Norm. You always made me smile.

[@juansantiago3296]

A great clean talent. A funny man who provided many laughs to his fans.

[@carycomic1954]

My favorite routine was the one where he claimed some politican (JFK, I think) had said the following: "If you, the public, don't start pitching in and doing your part; and if we, in Washington, don't start pitching in and doing our part; pretty soon, none of us will have a part to pitch in ." I laughed my head off for five minutes...at least.

And now updated to include the clown's clown, slow Joe Biden, who makes Crosby's malapropisms look tame in comparison. You know, The Thing!

I saw Norm on Ed Sullivan one night. He told some goofy story about an ancient general--his army "ambushed Samson and the Samsonites when they were making luggage."

[@Bullzeye1000yds]

Norm's command of the English language had to be extraordinary. To be able to destroy it, without pause, exhibits a very high degree of pure wit.
