⁠@@RandellGraham-uu9io He graduated high school at 14 and enrolled in college at 16 where he studied philosophy and math, but he went out of his way to project an image of an ignorant bumpkin. He even lied about having failed high school and only having read 1 book in his life. He had a very negative opinion about Bill Maher and other such comedians that play at being intellectuals and “modern day philosophers” and wanted his act to give the opposite impression of that.

[@Mubiki]

My favorite explanation of his comedy style was that he carried himself like he was trying to make himself laugh first and foremost, and everyone else was an afterthought. If his joke made him laugh, it was a success in his mind. He had complete and total faith in his own sense of humor.

It was well known in the showbiz world, that Norm had an IQ of about 150. Dude had some smarts, but didn't lord it over people like others would have. Instead, Norm played the average Joe. He was the "Columbo" of the comedy world. He intentionally played the simpleton, when really, he was the smartest guy in the room. He just never felt the need to show it. He graduated High school at 13 years old.
