This is supposed to be the "definitive Polish joke": A traveling salesman is in a strange town and goes to a local neighborhood bar at the end of a hard day to relax. The bar is full of people and there is just one empty stool at the middle of the bar and he sits down. He's a friendly guy, being a salesman, and after ordering a beer, says in a loud voice "Hey everybody, I heard this really good Polish joke." Suddenly the room goes dead silent. The guy looks at the bartender and asks what happened. The bartender says, "Look fella. This bar is in a Polish neighborhood. All the patrons here are Polish. The bouncer by the door, the one seven foot tall not counting his head, he's Polish. And I own this establishment and I'm Polish. So you'd better consider all that before you tell your damn Polish joke." The salesman looks around at everybody and says, "I'm sorry. I didn't know. I'll tell it real slow."

Now as more and more gypsies and people from pakistan and somalia come to Norway, norwegian people start to appreciate Polish people more. But you’ll never be liked as much as a fellow norwegian person because norwegian people will always believe that they are better than other countries. (They are arrogant, but don’t show it as much as for ex. French people. Of course this doesn’t apply to everybody) Ps. They have a good reason to be arrogant because their country is great and full of wonderful traditions. Will always have a special place in my heart for norway, although it has it share of problems ;)

Oskaregg, Yes all immigrants at one time had problems with foreign languages, so what? The PEAK of "Polish jokes" in America was in the 1960s/70's....when most Polish Americans spoke fluent English and on average made more money than most Americans. So HOW does that make them "dumb"....as NBC-TV says???? SO WHY was the 1960's/70's the PEAK TIME of "Polish jokes" in America? It was because NBC-TV was bashing the hell out of Poles on NATIONAL TV to MILLIONS of Americans! WHY did Anti-Christian Leftist NBC-TV do this? Because NBC-TV HATES Poland for being the MOST CHRISTIAN nation and most Red Pilled nation in the world and being against the Leftist propaganda NBC-TV spews. NBC-TV HATES Poland because Poland is PROUD of being a WHITE CHRISTIAN nation like in these KZbin videos "Polish people say, WE WANT GOD/Jesus! - Polish march for Independence Nov 11, 2017" and "The MOST Red Pilled nation is Poland - Despite Leftist objections, Polish TV network tells the truth". Today, perverted Leftist NBC-TV is doing the same thing with President Trump. NBC-TV keeps BASHING Trump as being "dumb" because Trump can see through the Leftist media's Lies and Trump is the most Red Pilled president we have. As for me, I was born in America. I am a Polish American.

RIP Norm. One of the best to ever do it.

[@Docentino1914]

Norm, as a half Scotish, half Irish, half Canadian, half Polish Man deserves at least 2 beautiful statues. (hope my math is correct. I am Polish)

[@Jordi_Llopis_i_Torregrosa96]

He's not Polish at all though, he literally has 0 Polish ancestry

[@nate117369]

My favorite joke from one of the true all time greats. Gonna miss ya Norm. Hope your house in heaven has a dog house so the neighbors don't get any wrong ideas about ya.

[@stademeister15]

He’s not gay!

[@robertdavison3738]

Norm WRECKS Conan more than anyone else. Love it.

[@waynemarvin5661]

What do you mean, 'wrecks'? A guest on a talk show tells a joke and you write WRECKS? Are you a pre-teen?

[@supwititproductionz3738]

@@waynemarvin5661 he meant it like "slays", you wet towel

[@Tom-H1]

Never been prouder to be Polish.

[@douglasschultz9808]

We lost a legend this week. Rest In Peace Norm.

[@irekro]

Hmmm... In South Florida almost all Home Depot and Lowes stores have hot dog/polish sausage carts at the entrance.

[@peterc.1419]

In South Africa, every hardware store also has a boerewors cart too. That's Afrikaaner/ Dutch sausage.

“I told a joke and a polish guy in the audience said it was offensive. So the next night I changed the joke to be about stupid people.. same guy got angry!” - Norm

[@jordanvanetten7887]

Conan: Shit, nothing happening in the news and no movies coming out, time to bring Norm on the show! Loved how he would take 10 minutes and tell a single, horrible joke. And you could see him enjoying every second of it. RIP Norm, one of a kind

[@Goose_BW]

I miss when dislikes on youtube meant something. It wasnt a terrible joke.

[@cameronmarshall5105]

this was/is one of my favorite norm jokes. not the most popular but he did it perfectly

[@RealJackHQ]

I think Norm and my dad would get along juuuuuust fine 😂😂. “I said c’mon man. C’MON. Y’know?” 🤣🤣

[@owadave]

Oddly enough,there is a polish sausage stand right outside our hardware store.

[@joeterp5615]

Gotta love Norm and his long set ups. He was a treasure.

[@freddiesoverbite6162]

RIP Norm. You were as original as they come.

"said what if a guy..."

[@danejurus69]

That's brilliant.

[@peddlersclan]

"They had to change their name becuase of the ribbing they would get for being polish" is the most overlooked joke ever

@Kokin Yoarse Zbig Brzezinski

[@bellysize]

He got me going on his "Polish" heritage. I thought WTF that can't be true. So I looked up his bio. Of course it's bs. LOL. But I learned he grew up on a Canadian Army base. I grew up on a Canadian air force base. And his older brother is Neil McDonald a highly respected Canadian broadcast journalist. Very talented family. I enjoy seeing all these old videos of Norm. His talent definitely grows on you.

[@Muertes-tf2oj]

RIP Norm. I love you.

[@pplrstrange]

If I ever land a job at a food joint, I'm going to respond to someone's order with, "you know this is a hardware store?" Thanks Norm

[@reddillon8425]

I love that he just casually lies for no reason (like that joke he told about finding himself in the middle of a lie that doesn't benefit him at all) Norm Macdonald was not even a little bit polish lol

[@BlanketMan]

If you haven’t read Norm’s “Based on a True Story” book, you must do so. Not only is it the funniest book I’ve ever read, but I found myself wondering just how much of it was actually true. Could be 10%; could be 90%. (I’d guess it’s closer to 10…) But that’s part of Norm’s genius.

[@mytyrel420]

"Hey, you ever see that one movie about Meryl Streep and the horse?" "... ... Yes."

[@mournblade1066]

Okay, that was beautiful.

[@yaqbec23]

Jeez, why would someone be offended, I'm Polish and that was funny af XD Norm is genius.

[@lipby]

Nobody is offended

[@radziklvp3442]

Polish people have a good sense of humor. No matter how bad a joke is its funny, that's it.
