Norm Macdonald on Alcoholism REACTION!! | OFFICE BLOKES REACT!!

[@leodee3]

Truly one of the funniest comedians ever. I don't say that lightly. I don't think anyone is funnier. Like Daz said, it's not easy to find great video of his stand up, but it's absolutely worth your time to find what you can. He was, of course, a world class stand up, but I think his real genius shines in interviews and talk shows. He was never not funny. Very quick witted and just a unique way with words made everything that came out of his mouth hilarious. I'm not sure if it's great material for reacting, but I highly recommend going down the rabbit hole of Norm Macdonald interviews and talk show appearances. Probably the single greatest late night talk show guest of all time.

[@getinthecar3624]

And I'm supposed to take your word for it? What if I thought that bit was shit? Rending your judgment in comedy (like your taste) shit. Or....or it was great. Therefore supporting your judgment which leads to Norm is one of the best. I'll be the judge.

[@doncornell1707]

You'll like his Conan interviews. There's plenty to pick from

[@THEMAADASSHOLE]

Moth joke!

[@khalidalamri.]

@@THEMAADASSHOLE It's all comedy royalty as Daz says. But nothing beats the Swedish German.

[@BluntforceJ]

@@THEMAADASSHOLE And the turtle joke!

[@goatitisful]

​@@THEMAADASSHOLEthat joke still makes me laugh till I almost pass out.

[@RomesThe59]

His world war jokes on Letterman’s last stand up is amazing too. You guys should definitely do more norm! Also, norm had stopped drinking once he was diagnosed with cancer, but was a known drinker and gambler before then.

[@cckmanofsteel2393]

Letterman laughing in the background gets me every time.

[@whimsofmim]

Or so the Germans would have us think....

[@jayhop]

Who do they think they are, MARS?!

[@vtjbproductions]

If you boys are looking for Norm, his best work is as a talk show guest. Any time he’s on a talk show. Especially with Conan or Letterman

[@neillydun]

RIP Norm. A true comedy genius.

[@BigOleMatty]

norm is amazing..."my wife the battle axe" is great..."dirty johnny" joke is great..."the moth" joke is great...honestly look up i'm not norm channel it has a ton of stuff...

[@BenPfei]

The turtle joke - professor of logic - dolphin joke - all on conan, also - careful with the moth joke, it's gotta be the full clip where norm gives the context that his driver told him the joke, which is part of the joke

[@scottstewart5784]

His last appearance on Letterman is awesome.

[@whimsofmim]

Plenty of good suggestions in the comments already. Definitely have a look at the I'm Not Norm channel. Lots of gems there. One thing you have to understand about Norm, a lot of what he says is just 100% set up for the joke. There are some really funny appearances he did on Conan where he talks about fake relatives (just because it's part of the joke), or about his wife (when he was divorced at that point), etc. So the whole "I don't drink" stuff might be real or maybe not. You never really knew. There were times he was probably dry and also doing things like Gamblers Anonymous (probably AA too), but then he'd be at an interview with another comic who would talk about Norm going to some high stakes illegal poker game in NYC for 3 days straight/etc. Guy was extremely impulsive, to his own detriment, but mined it for a lot of great material and bits (like what you see in this video). I liked people's suggestions about Norm constantly shitting on OJ because he was so vicious about OJ when working on SNL/Weekend Update that an NBC Executive (friend of OJ's) told Norm to stop doing OJ jokes. Norm not only kept doing them, but did some of the most dark and over the line jokes up to that point, and NBC fired him because as that same executive said he wasn't funny. He did wind up guest hosting on SNL later on, where he joked (viciously) in his opening monologue that he was surprised to be back as a guest host because he was fired for being unfunny, but now that he was back, either that meant he had gotten a lot more funny in a short period of time or the show must really suck now.... Something like that. Just a huge shot fired at NBC. Norm was great. His many appearances on Conan are great too because the two (and Andy) play off of each other perfectly. Norm would derail stuff, say totally outlandish things, tell jokes that went nowhere and just wasted everybody's time.... just really, really good if you're into that kind of thing (some people call it "anti-comedy/humor" or meta-comedy, but it's not entirely that). Part of what makes a lot of his more conventional TV appearances so funny is he tends to throw a monkey wrench in the otherwise stiff and formulaic "TV Interview Show" format like Late Night TV Shows. Not everybody gets his humor or that he normally did what he thought was funny, not necessarily what everybody would think is funny. I hope you all continue to give his stuff a look. Some of it won't land with some people, but he was genuinely an insanely funny person (largely because of how he just didn't give a fuck, even to the detriment of his career). A good place to look (but maybe way too blue for a reaction) can be a lot of his appearances on the Dennis Miller show. There are a few about cigarettes/smoking and cocksucking/homosexuality that are wild and would never fly in today's world. I don't know how well they hold up, but it had Dennis Miller in stitches (and I think there is one where David Spade is there also and Norm is very funny... maybe the same appearance I'm thinking of).

[@doug4036]

When he was a semi-regular on Howard Stern’s Sirius show I would pull into a parking lot to hear his entire segments. I was useless with laughter at some of his simple one-liners. I hope you can find some of those clips.

[@accountablehog]

YESSSSSS!!!!! One of Norm’s classics. RIP

[@HarrisTheHeckler]

I would say some easy to find and great Norm stuff would be any of his interviews on Conan and any compilations of his Weekend Update jokes from the SNL days. If you're looking more for stand up then his Letterman sets are killer.

[@alltogetherfitandproper4252]

Ah there was some more left. But glad y’all did this. Miss that man.

[@packersamurai]

Oh my God! I've never seen this sketch. This is phenomenal.

[@SueProst]

Norm is the master of deception. You can never tell if he is hiding behind his routine. He doesn't do personal info it just seems biographical. Then sometimes he does include some autobiographical info. He is an evasive brilliant comic. A comedians comedian

[@MECowgo]

The Moth joke he did on Letterman is gold.

[@MarkyMarc89]

*REACT TO KEY AND PEELE’S “NEGROTOWN” SKIT*

[@RAD-82ndABN]

You guys have to watch Norm McDonald Dirty Johnny! It so funny!

[@OzzyCoop]

Maybe I'll make a compilation of his TV/Movie stuff. He was a riot in My Name Is Earl

[@donalddees5503]

Norm was a big gambler. Like a compulsive gambler.

[@erikrichards5072]

"I'm surprised he doesn't drink." Never take Norm for his words on stage. To paraphrase Mitch Hedberg, "I used to (drink). I still do, but I used to, too."

[@seanwilson5516]

Norm Macdonald Constant Shitting on OJ.

[@byFusKy]

Watch any of the clips of Norm on Conan, there all pure gems.

[@aznk7538]

One of my favorite Norm bits!

[@MAG-li5jo]

Norn was King Kong of stand up!

[@WeekendUpdate7]

Finally giving the people what they want!

[@WeekendUpdate7]

@Dacholo It’s only matter of time.. maybe when they get to 200,000 subscribers.

[@jeffreyriley8742]

When I first saw this routine, I laughed so hard for five minutes straight I got a cramp in my cheek. I literally couldn't stop laughing to save my face.

[@eddiev00]

Norm Macdonald's constant shitting videos are funny. I think the channels called I'm Not Norm.

[@dahwitzz]

yeh norm on conan is always great, there's a clip i think called "norm's wife is a battle axe" from conan that's really funny

[@timbeatty8411]

NORM thanks guys. My favorite channel on you tube. More Patrice and Norm.

[@justintuisamoa4191]

I love Norm! Thanks for the reaction

[@ibrahimfarooq2224]

You should do norm on late night talk shows as a guest especially Conan O'Brien's show.

[@tylerbuckner3750]

“None of your beeswax.”😂

[@tubiviral9093]

Norm Macdonald jokes you should react to: He's great moth joke: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHuxaqB4h71mq9E The Professor of Logic joke: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haTIopttiLJ8rNE Married to a Battle Axe joke: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmiuXp6XmtGEe9U

[@big.willie]

There's a bunch of great compilations from his podcast that are filled with incredible jokes. Definitely worth checking out!

[@bbadlar3]

Norm on dennis Miller talking about smoking

[@loaditz]

A late great Canadian comedy legend. He will be missed.

[@jhaustin21]

Still need to do the Moth Joke

[@hugonavarro9140]

Hope you react to more Norm videos, his stand up is amazing but the interviews/podcasts are some of the best stuff I rewatch it every now and then

[@johnmcnulty2705]

A great video is both Norm & Gilbert Gottfried on the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget. Very funny.

[@Nomadgamingcrew]

Conan O’Brien Norm dolphin joke or moth joke is so good! Classic Norm

[@arkansaucev9310]

A true Great. RIP the Legend

[@Gutslinger]

10:48 That's the absolute truth. I've experienced it many times. It's also true with sober people, if you're a quiet person. I've always get told that I either make them nervous, or I seem angry or suspicious.. Nope. I'm just quiet. I generally have nothing to say unless spoken to.

[@joeforte7829]

Weekend update and all the conan interviews

[@Fryepod3628]

"Dont Laugh At That" is an incredible compilation but it's pretty damn short. Lots of seriously dark jokes going very quick.

[@I_AM_BAYTOR]

Please, more Dave Attell. Glad I got to see Norm live twice before he died.

[@I_AM_BAYTOR]

Skanks for the Memories album!

[@ontrack16]

He's the greatest panel guest on Late Night both Letterman and Conan. Their relationships are so funny. His best bits are on the Late Night shows. He's almost the Jimi Hendrix of comics.

[@terrelldowns6432]

It's from "Me doing Stand up" , the whole set is amazing. I didn't drink until I was 25, so I was the DD for my friends, that shit was not fun. If you think trying to handle 1 wasted adult is a pain, imagine at least 3.

[@chrislong3938]

I went sober for almost a year, you would hag with my boss... Within three hours I'd be asking myself, "This is me?!?" Then i'd just go home and think< ""I know! I'll start drinking again!" I like my friends, and when we were all on the same page, life was grand!

[@nickcolbert9615]

As an alcoholic I approve of this bit. 🤷🏻‍♂️🍻

[@brianlogsdon4824]

@Office Blokes React gotta do his “12 minute joke”. Absolutely hilarious

[@5tivi]

My suggestions: Norm Macdonald huffpost live interview (its long but hilarious from start to finish) Norm Macdonald - Gotham Comedy Live (this is what I would recommend as an entry for Norm, instead of the 12 min joke that people always suggest, that one is one of my least favorites) and Norm Macdonald moth joke

[@rileyandmike]

This is a great 😊 one!!!

[@schrodingers-gat]

It’s not difficult to find videos. There are so many compilations of his weekend update and his podcast.

[@scottstewart5784]

Norm also has said he doesn't do drugs, but he's legendary pot smoker.

[@nancysexton4364]

Also a chain smoker, but most of all a legendary gambler -- won and lost millions during his life.

[@e-reptiledysfunction2243]

U guys still haven't gotten to his ww2 Germany joke, to me that's 1 of his funniest jokes

[@LuisHernandez-sf5hf]

The office people are great people I’ll tell you that

[@jankowalski6338]

Can't wait for his next special

[@pammclaughlin8210]

That “slur” you’re hearing is his Canadian accent LOL

[@BigOleMatty]

my mt. rushmore is dangerfield, rickles, kinison, and this old chunk of coal normie haha

[@Gutslinger]

Can't help but think of this bit possibly being partially inspired by his knowledge of himself having cancer.

[@frankaq3951]

Guys, you have to do his appearance on Letterman's final show. His story of Germany and WWII is the most hilarious thing you will see!!!

[@astroboirap]

love norm!!

[@arjanpelle]

Great videos by Norm are compilations of his shows and appearances (the I"m not norm channel) pretty much like when he lost his sponsors. Like 'when the guests love the joke' or 'who writes these jokes'. Also some appearances on Conan: 'married to a real battle axe' and the infamous moth joke. Have fun guys.

[@kennethswartz8252]

I liked his movie Dirty Work a lot. Love the South Park reference. Randy also gave himself testicular cancer to get a prescription for weed. Classic

[@jackiepapers138]

He had a small talk show, lots of it on KZbin. Find some of those. They are great!

[@DrRockso79]

On the topic of alcohol, Larry Miller's 5 Levels of Drinking bit is great too.

[@YouOnlyIiveTwice]

yea look up his stuff on Conan. He was one of the few comedians that was able to make him laugh to the point of crying.

[@thehillbillychasidchronicles07]

I’ve done the dd thing when I was being self righteous before Uber. Now I live in NY and I think most drivers have had a bit 😂

[@Nomadgamingcrew]

Norm McDonald saving interviews compilation.

[@theivory1]

He is THE best. Please do more Norm. Try the Suicide bit.

[@tylerpacker6047]

Almost any of the compilations from the KZbin channel I'm Not Norm would be good for this channel. Constant shitting on OJ and Don't laugh at that are good videos from that channel. Lots to choose from.

[@Hokieredneck]

We need to see all Dave's inkwork...

[@haydz402]

Norm was the best. Do some Norm on Conan or Letterman!

[@tobitobt3238]

Thats why i love norm so much. He seems to see illness and alcoholism as a whataboutism!

[@willvr4]

I wish I could use my wireless headphones when watching videos online but it runs on the same frequency as Wifi so the videos never stream properly.

[@CoachTC23]

Norm and Sean Locke were so similar in their careers, true comedians comedians. Gave no shits. Almost enjoyed bombing sometimes. Wild wonderful men. Both even lost to cancer within weeks of each other 🙏 great ones.

[@pontifex9285]

Some of his best moments are on talk shows, mostly Conan or Letterman. Then again you might get copyright strikes for that

[@gdhaney136]

I quit drinking for 5 years, and happily became the designated driver. When I started drinking again, I found it hard to find someone else willing to take the role. When I got married - it got worse. Hubs would never be the DD. I started to resent not being able to let loose. Now, my marriage and friendships survive because of Uber.

[@donm6578]

You should watch Norm on Conan with the actress Courtney Thorne Smith from Melrose Place. Absolutely hilarious

[@machamanos7466]

You upload Norm Macdonald, I hit like button. It's that easy.

[@Ywipm]

idk if you guys will see this but "norm macdonald and his dirty uncles" is a great one to check out

[@goonbelly5841]

[@antoinettelopes]

This appearance on Conan is peak Norm: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHzQkpeIab6Ya5Y

[@jonathanmartin726]

Makes me think of Otto & George designated driver. Check out some Otto & George.

[@kitthall6538]

Please react to Moth Joke on Conan

[@Jzscrstsprstr]

[@sollertiskhan3254]

you should react to more of Norm macdonald guest interviews, Conan, Kimmel, etc, those are where he shines the most imo

[@davidhrynkiw1314]

Please react to Weekend Update on O.J. Simpson. It's pure gold!! Love your channel, guy's.

[@g-pa-Rok-n-Tok]

Miss ya Norm

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

I'm all for taxis, but when you live in a country as sprawling as the US, they're often not an option. Especially in more rural areas. I wish there was, but there's not enough people to justify trying to run a taxi service. We had one dude who did the sober cab just for tips, he made good money doing it, until he started taking pulls of Vodka between fares and got a DUI as the sober cab guy lol.

[@Imsosorrytrash]

Do Norm on Brokeback Mountain. You’ll probably have to put it at the end of something else because it’s only like a minute, but it’s proper hilarious. Oh and the frog joke. But that’s also pretty short. Maybe, do the Moth Joke, which is sort of long and meandering, and then end with the frog joke and Brokeback Mountain. The last two won’t add much time, but they’re definitely worth it. I think so anyway. Although, it’s always possible I’m an idiot, and I have no idea what I’m talking about. But I don’t think so anyway.

[@BurdenBound]

Look up Norm McDonald and Andy Richter the Swedish German.

[@lylechipperson3407]

Norm did drink. He briefly quit alcohol for a few years when he was young but he continued later for the rest of his life. I don't know why he claimed that he didn't, he was a very odd man.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

He smoked a lot of weed too apparently. Lots of comedians have stories of him ripping a joint or a bowl and then going up on stage and killing. Then he'd get off and talk about how stoned he was and they'd all be amazed lol

[@offroad5798]

It's not hard at all to find great Norm videos. Come on guys, get on it

[@johanna0131]

Check out the compilation video of his OJ Simpson stuff on SNL. It’s why he got fired, basically. He’s relentless.

[@aaroncstyle5024]

FIND THE BLUE CARD JOKES COMPILATIONS FROM NORM MACDONALD LIVE PODCAST. YOU GUYS WILL ROLL LAUGHING. sorry for the caps, but you need to do it. Absolutely the best.

[@thSpeedyTurtle]

He may have been diagnosed with cancer at that point, maybe why he didn’t drink then.

[@gregnewman2512]

Realize you havent done Norm on San Francisco. Do us ALL a favor.

[@steffe689]

Love Norm RIP

[@VoiceNerd]

If my group of friends can collect $100 and put it in my hand I would be the designated driver in a heartbeat
