Norm Macdonald on WGN Morning News (April 2010) 'Death on the plane'

[@poopandfartjokes]

They must’ve been chomping at the bit to ask that question.

[@TheGregcawthorne]

hehehehhehe

[@gkniffen]

That smile when he says “drifter”... 💀 We miss you, Norm. ✌️

[@Kyrieru]

He just hits you with that little pause before saying it.

[@abus3od11]

And that shake while hi say it

[@Kyrieru]

I'm starting to think that half the appeal of Norm was that he went through life with the expression of an enthusiastic kid who just learned that people like to laugh at jokes and he couldn't help but be excited and happy for them.

[@chrisp1500]

Thank you! I've been trying to sum up what made him so unique and likeable, and you just described it perfectly.

[@wuffalo]

i wish i had that excitement for life. norm is an inspiration

[@GR_BackingTracks]

Yep, he's like my friend Matt from high school, except Norm did that for 50 more years...

[@magicpowers]

A real stream of consciousness you got going here, Happy!

[@johnulcer]

The delivery of that drifter punchline at the end is classic Norm. The little pause and emphasis on "DRIF-ter". I miss him already.

[@chinaman1]

Those kids has the same humor as norm.

[@docd2295]

Would have rather seen those kids interview Norm.

[@termeownator]

Now _this_ is what I call stream of consciousness.

[@termeownator]

Is this what he did in his act? Stream of consciousness sort of thing?

[@jonface93]

@@termeownator yes its called conversation

[@erniebuchinski3614]

Norm should have answered the question about where he gets his ideas the same way Super Dave answered Adam Eget on Norm's podcast, with the same deadpan delivery, of course: "Don't ask me that again. That's the stupidest goddam question I've ever heard!"

[@DrJRL]

Based on the date this may have been the inspiration for said question.

[@matthewbutt2340]

I love that Norm seemed like a regular dude.

[@tomaswolf4777]

He's a classy, courageous dude

[@dustinday4188]

@burteriksson SIT ON IT

[@xedasxedas]

You know he's Canadian?

[@heathdetweilerRealtor]

Just a regular guy, that was super funny…and a little special. In a good way. 😁

[@williamh5780]

2:19 "I've always wanted to ask, where do you get your ideas from?"

[@Psiros]

LoL He should have pulled a Super Dave and stared at him in silence.

[@MrWilberbeast1]

I just found your channel and want to sincerely thank you for documenting and preserving this comedic gold.

[@giveamanafish2324]

I know you don't care for the sentimental, but I say in truth, I love you Happy the dog.

[@skipads5141]

Jesus, those kids out-Normed Norm.

[@PatrickPierceBateman]

2:22 This guy literally asks "Where do you get your ideas from?"

[@angrykoolaidman]

My gut tells me the guy's a square (which makes it even more funny), but I'd love to think he knew exactly what he was doing when he asked Norm where he gets his ideas.

[@teocantsleep4611]

Hey Happy, I'm really sad about Norm's passing and I had an idea to honor him, I noticed there's very few material of him on different languages, even fewer of good quality as comedy is notedly hard to translate, any chance I could take clips and translate them to Spanish? I've been meaning to make a few videos again and that just occurred to me after trying to get a friend of mine into Norm and realizing how little there is so it was nearly impossible. Even his Netflix special has really bad translation! It's insane. Anyway, hope you get back to me. Cheers mate. Thanks for all your work and this great archive of yours.

[@slappymcbutterballs7326]

man, still hurts...watching a lot of his vids lately....I think I'm moving him into my G.O.A.T. status....

[@giuh_]

2:25 where do you get your ideas from?

[@cruz1ale]

Haha thought the exact same thing

[@fjf6050]

Great interview! Rare clip thx happy

[@mightisright]

I love Norm. I'm sad he's gone, but he may have left us at the right time. All my other heroes turned to insalubrious stacks of dull dross before they passed over.

[@typerk2388]

He was chomping at the bit to ask that last question.

[@colleengugger9214]

Just the best!!!

[@protonjones54]

I never understood the whole "where do you get your ideas from?" joke

[@dbsti3006]

"......why do you keep saying 'stream of consciousness?' It's called conversation." 🤣

[@Batmonthesequel]

2:20 this boy literally just asked norm where does he get his ideas from

[@stevenjacob1983]

He never stopped giving Chris Farley props

[@smokedog2185]

Love ya buddy

[@6c83ff19fd]

where do you get your ideas?

[@mcdouche2]

This interview was so uncomfortable that I am convinced that this is what gave him the cancer.

[@flintsky7706]

@RealSweetKid Stfu it’s a joke

[@TheRedstonedeluxe]

Seems like a pretty normal interview

[@chi-thumpjunkiemurdock122]

Your joke is. Not a joke at all. You need 20 more years of material

[@mcdouche2]

For those of you who think he is not uncomfortable. Poor Norm is in a room of the most unfunny people ever assembled and that grin on his face betrays the fact that he would rather be anywhere else. What other time have you seen Norm grinning like a r*tard?

[@StalinMstalinator]

Norm gunny level congrats

[@98mess]

how do you keep stuff fresh? and hey where do you get your ideas from?

[@markh.9822]

2:25 I legit thought he was going to ask him where he gets his ideas from

[@lauriLokkeni9002]

❤️

[@Pneubeteube]

Drift on into heaven big guy

[@merisonola]

*God I miss that old chunk of coal*

[@chinaman1]

did the guy really just asked norm, where he got his ideas from????

[@drowsycannon5179]

Looking for fake animal rescue channels to report and I find this happy dog lmao 🤣, he will sadly be missed, last thing I seen him on was the middle, never be the same without him 😢

[@xavierpaquin]

Hey Happy, you working on Norm's bio? We need one made by a scholar and a gentleman such as yourself who's in love with the material, not some Hollywood philistine looking to make a quick buck

[@Dayvit78]

I don't understand. This is not I'm Not Norm, but why was it never recommended before?

[@dilesmavis1196]

It came out the day before you commented....

[@Dayvit78]

@@dilesmavis1196 I meant this channel! youtube's algorithms are slipping.

[@Mark-wd5zb]

"Do you get recognized on the street" is always the dumbest and most useless question to ask a celebrity. That's a, "I don't know what to ask so I'll just ask this" kind of question.

[@danielstack4158]

It is generally lame, but it's asked all the time. I think it's somewhat interesting to ask people of different levels of fame how much they get recognized. It's Norm Macdonald though, he's been on SNL, Conan, Letterman, Adam Sandler movies, etc. Of course he got recognized often.

[@johnomara849]

What sort of satanic rituals are you performing to get all these clips?

[@jairkerker2821]

Making the dog happy.

[@groksr]

God is there any way you can take these newscasters and Give us norm back
