Norm Macdonald's Weekend Update - The Whole Damn Thing (Part 2)

[@steventhomas4499]

Hearing Norm do update unlocks a core memory I didn't know exists. My parents use to watch SNL when I was growing up, and this takes me right back. A warm nostalgia.

[@lorenanders702]

There's only one thing that could keep me from loving Norm Mcdonald videos. You guessed it...Frank Stallone!

[@jetsabo]

The genius of Norm, was his carefree delivery regardless of what he was saying. He had his material well thought out, in advance. His style is admired by many. Very unique creative Genius.

[@sarasuckerman69]

Most accurate and honest news reporting in the modern era. A sane, hilarious and reasonable man from the long past zenith of western civilization. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Macdonald.

[@miguelcervantes7098]

" It used to be when someone died you'd say "Oh,that old man died." Now its "He lost his battle." Uh,what a loser that guy was.The last thing he did was lose.He was fighting a brave battle but at the end I guess he got kind of cowardly.But you gotta give it to the battle cancer..Also,and I'm sure that when you die,the cancer also dies.So that to me is not a loss but a draw."..Norm Macdonald...

[@ritaturrini6563]

well said Norm

[@curtismcdonald6838]

It’s so telling that when I read this joke to myself, i giggle ever so slightly. But put these words into the mind of Norm MacDonald and I can’t stop laughing.

[@jrsachem9]

What are you some fuckin AI or something

[@larryinews1]

Not really the same without seeing his face, because his expressions were part of his delivery. His expression could make you laugh as much as the jokes. His comedy was about truth. He said it was not a good idea, or really truthful, to make fun of someone who you completely disagreed with politically. I think he was a libertarian or at least a conservative.. He was a big fan of George W. Bush. I think he also wrote a lot of the comedy for The Norn Show. I only wish he had shared with the world that he was dying of cancer. It was a shock to a lot of people.

[@rickacton7540]

on the other hand it allows the opportunity to perceive his resemblances to both adam carolla and jack palance

You know you are old when you listen to Norm’s fake news and not only get all the references but also laugh

[@mosesmerino7334]

I'm super young, I don't get any of the references, and I still laugh. I can only imagine how much funnier it is when you do understand it.

[@trentmason009]

I definitely love that these jokes work even if you don't get the references (1. They are well written enough as fake news so as to make sense hearing them for the first time, and 2. They are universally funny and accessible), but oh it is a lot of fun to listen and remember those times and occasionally to remember seeing Norm do this live. I miss when live TV mattered!

One of Norm's jokes: "I'm not afraid of Iraq, Iran, or North Korea. The one country I'm afraid of is Germany. I don't know if you guys are history buffs, but they went to war against the entire world, TWICE, and it was CLOSE."

Confession; I did not like Norm at first. I really liked Dennis Miller. Kevin Nealan was dry (took me a while). After a few episodes I warmed up. Now, he is up there at the top for me. Such a cruel world; Norm has left and OJ still remains, sipping drinks in the shade at the Golf Course, edit; day dreaming and gloating about how he got away with it, but deserves more Love. Norm HAD to laugh at that one:)

Not a huge fan of Norm’s weekend update tenure. Where I thought Norm excelled was when he played off others, most notably Conan or ‘90’s Dennis Miller. His gift was spontaneous ad-lib humor. The interview with Conan and Courtney Thorne-Smith where Norm hijacked the conversation is probably the most enjoyable bit I’ve ever witnessed on TV.

Kavorkian was an ironic tale, he was committed to assist those who were dying with dying "peacefully", but after receiving a terminal diagnosis of kidney cancer, he fought like hell to live and died of a thrombosis issue... Lol. Irony.

[@pamelacass9642]

You forget that people wanted to make their own choices as to how to die...with dignity. Dr. Kevorkian didn't want to die, at least not in pain. Those people who insisted on endless years of life support? If their family members who were in comas truly believed they had a chance of reviving and had expressed that opinion without bankrupting their families-go for it. But for two sides of a family (spouse vs parents), knowing how much everything costs? Very few inmates on Death Row willingly go down. In the state systems, it takes 15-20 years. What happens to those who are innocent? A very few have waived their appeal options (the Oklahoma bomber (168 victims) plus other federal Death Row inmates. It's difficult to understand suicide. I think sometimes they're selfish if they aren't sick. Had a co-worker who left a note saying it was his wife's fault. He always claimed she was mentally ill, but who sets up a scenario in their house for the wife to find? People also function like they'll live eternally. We know better. I would like for everyone to live HAPPILY. But getting out of here alive? Not a reasonable option.
