Reacting to Norm Macdonald Is Married To A Real Battle Axe | CONAN

[@Complication84]

I love his delivery of the lines like "ya dirty dog" and "I said by God" they kill me every time.

[@MrAverageViewer]

So glad you reacted to this!! Norm MacDonald is one of the only comedians who can pull out the corniest jokes, and make them hysterical.

[@MaddyReactions]

So true

That was part of his style, to take old jokes from long ago and repackage them and many people were none the wiser. He did that at the Bob Saget roast. He didn't want to use the kind of crude bits that everyone else was using on his friend so he used a bunch of old Dad jokes and made it look like he was bombing. Those who knew what he was doing thought it was hilarious. Also for those who don't know what Conan was saying when he was playing the old time radio announcer, the Chestersheel figanuts was a riff on Chesterfield cigarettes.

[@DarthGeddy]

Next up: the Moth joke!

[@jefffawcett]

The entire purpose of him doing old Henny Youngman jokes was to set up the dirty joke. He didn’t do those in his act. He was intentionally lulling the crowd and Conan and Andy into a stupor just to make the impact of his real joke greater. People don’t give Norm enough credit for his writing and mastery of the craft because his style always makes you think he’s just winging it. Every word is fine-tuned.

[@teeheeteeheeish]

My favorite line: “But that’s modern medicine for you!”

[@NameOptional-p9u]

Norm is a wild man lol. His stand up, his interviews, and even the stories that people have of Norm are just wild. He was unique and brilliant. Glad we have video to help us remember and relive those moments. Always enjoy your reactions! Can't go wrong with Norm.

[@MaddyReactions]

So true!

[@FedeMarco01]

I'm so happy you reacted to this, it's one of my favorite Norm moments ever, it's got the deeply closeted joke and the wife in a coma is just the cherry on top

[@MaddyReactions]

😂

[@EricGordon-w9y]

" Doc, she's choking." I told that to everybody at work on a coffee break and it killed. Them guys laugh the rest of the day.

[@jimobrien8806]

As a Canadian, he made me so proud. We are the best at self deprecating humour! Your reaction was the best!

[@hav2win]

Norm was doing his best Rodney Dangerfield impression. 🤣

[@SomeGuy-xf9bc]

Absolutely.

[@CuttinEJ]

I’ve seen this clip 100 times and it still makes me laugh every time. This is the best delayed reaction I’ve ever seen. 😂

[@MaddyReactions]

😂😂😂😂

[@bgwinn]

It's a great book. And the audiobook is read by Norm himself!

[@Parker--]

There will never be another Norm. He was either telling the funniest jokes or he would troll, just so it would be even funnier than a traditional joke. RIP not only the funniest man in history, but the most down to Earth, humble and honest comic in history.

[@MaddyReactions]

😭🩷

[@Patsy_Parisi]

The book is phenomenal.

[@chrisjaybecker4395]

"Doc, she's choking!" Damn, that's great joke writing.

[@ThoughtfulVoyager]

Can you please explain the joke

[@mojojojo6292]

@@ThoughtfulVoyager God bless your sweet innocent mind.

@@ThoughtfulVoyager i think the joke was... it was expected him to give her oral sex so she would wake up, but instead he made her give him oral sex. .. i think ? not sure

Norm doing Rodney, absolutely priceless!

[@hellooutsiders6865]

I watch Norm KZbin clips on repeat, I've probably seen this 50 times and it's still hilarious.

[@Harry-Storm]

SAme here. Nice to see Maddy laugh.

[@onechess]

Always loved Norm's style! Thanks for this one!

[@babstra55]

I love norm's moth joke so much, I always keep going back to rewatch it for years already.

[@thiago.dos.santos]

Norm was savage.

[@VroodenTheGreat]

This was Norm's Rodney Dangerfield phase.

[@EricGordon-w9y]

Yep when he says,"I'll tell ya." Sounded just like Rodney

[@georgesotiriou7051]

Episode aired on Rodney's death anniversary (not sure why anyone would celebrate the man's death). Norm was not going through a phase, he was knowingly paying tribute.

[@calemcqueen]

Conan is a great straight man for Norm. Perfect team.

[@jamescasson9483]

Appreciate this reaction choice

[@Deeplycloseted435]

“That’s modern medicine for ya.” 😂 Best comedian, all-time.

[@billymcondon]

Highly recommend the book, it is a fictional autobiography but is littered with some great insights and some true stories. He weaves his past with the present and embellishes and adds funny shit, obviously, but you never really feel confused or question what or when he is talking about, but a great funny read but at the same time opening up and showing how profound Norm really was. One of one for sure.

[@BigBlueReefAquatics]

Norm was the GOAT!!! His type of humor was and still is unmatched!

[@MaddyReactions]

Agreed

[@tommyo2450]

He was a genius.. His comedy and deep intelligence went underappreciated for so long..

[@Sprite_525]

5:25 when it finally clicks she’s dying 😆

[@gl22222]

Took you a soliddd minute to get the “she’s choking” joke. Was so great 😂😂

[@MaddyReactions]

🤣

[@Monstylicious]

You are very correct. Conan is so damn good. Last actual late night talk show host. Nothing but love for that man.

[@Robbyrool]

This is basically a Rodney Dangerfield routine. Including the “I tell ya, I tell ya!”

[@MaddyReactions]

Right!!

[@commonclayofthenewwest6045]

The book is next level comedy. I never laughed so hard within the confines of literature. Plus he narrates it and it's just a magical story. True stuff btw. But for the folks at home, be sure to buy it. That way his estate can keep power going to his tombstone, so that big neon sign beside it spelling out " Be Sad Now!" remains lit.

[@siobhan5486]

Norms book is the best "memoir" ive ever read. A masterpiece

[@MaddyReactions]

Wow!

[@buddyguy4723]

These jokes will hit hard in 2035

[@jnyfumare]

I agree with you on Conan being the funnest late night show comic... especially nowadays!!

[@MaddyReactions]

Yess

[@carlosaguirre9828]

One of my favorite comedians of all time...miss his great comedy!!! Thanks!!

[@BoxerRick]

God bless ya. Your face lit up when that joke hit you. That was so worth watching. You have a beautiful laugh.

[@AU88]

Was waiting for your reaction to “Doc, she’s choking!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MaddyReactions]

🤦🏽‍♀️🤣

[@dbaileyosu]

Conan and David Letterman were the two hosts that were actually great at being funny while bringing the best out of their guests. Norm’s stuff with Letterman is just as good as the Conan ones and he actually did the final standup set on Letterman’s final show.

[@jordan0010]

YES 😂😂 My favourite Conan & Norm bit 😂👍

[@normsaunders4980]

And there's a whole lot to choose from. Those 2 worked so well together, Conan generally the straight man.

[@MisterCrockett]

I’ve been watching Conan since the late 90’s as a kid. I’d stay up just to watch his show especially when he has certain guests (my celeb crushes) 😂

[@markv768]

This and the Oscar stories are my favorite of all time. My favorite line "Ya dirty dog!" - You have awesome reactions! You get a great laugh out of it and don't stop it every 30 seconds to explain what we just saw.

[@MaddyReactions]

Glad you like them!

[@nip9898]

Get his audiobook. He reads it and it's incredible with his voice and delivery

[@MaddyReactions]

I need to!?

[@intothemild9414]

Yes you do ​@MaddyReactions

[@LesCish]

I'd seen that before so I watched the wheels spinning after "Doc, she's choking". Norm's mid-century humor reminds me of what Danny Kaye said about his wife. "Her favorite place is beside herself and her favorite activity is jumping to conclusions."

[@B81Jonny]

I’ve watched this interview so many times, and I truly think what Norm is doing is “Inception” levels of comedy. I’d love to hear Conan break this down line by line some day.

[@feralart]

His 12 minute joke is a must, if you haven't seen it already.

[@cl3826]

This is Norm doing Rodney lol

[@mangasky7]

What a perfect day: Bowie my favourite artist and Norm my favourite comedian. It was a pleasure to watch the penny drop at the end.

[@tiagopinto365]

She was choking on it😂😂..he has such a unique rhythm, cadence and delivery omg i love your reactions to Norm 🙌 heyy little gremlin 🐶😍

[@Christopher-Baltimore]

Norm and Conan were magic together

[@EdwinSemidey]

I love how it took you a second

[@thedarkknight2221]

I remember Andy Richter on Conan’s podcast episode where they were remembering Norm he described Norm’s long jokes as “being taken through a long walk through the woods just to show us a turd”, and that when he told Norm that he giggled like a mischievous kid.

[@MatthewC137]

Your reaction was priceless! I love that it took you a second; that made it even better!

[@timryckmanii8282]

His book is so good. The audio book is even better bc he narrates it.

[@normsaunders4980]

'Ya dirty dog'. Conan's reaction: nobody's said that since 1946.

[@tstoneami]

Norm had the ability to draw out really old jokes and make them funny. Some of his best stuff was done with Conan.

[@clifhaley5150]

His book is absolutely hilarious and if you'd rather listen to it than read it he actually does the narration of the audio book version. Recommended.

[@yew2oob954]

This channel...it's a Real Maddy Reacts. (-read in Norm's voice)

[@ScottM-mds1hb]

Norm is one of the rare gems! You see him and just start thinking what’s he going to say and start laughing 🥳🤣

[@OgreProgrammer]

"Settle down", haha! Okay, I get it, Conan can be very funny. Plus Norm is completely mellow, almost lackadaisical, but somehow, yes, he needed to settle down.

[@RobMazing3]

I have norms book on audible.. its funny as heck. He narrates it too which makes it even funnier!

The book was a really great read, mind you.

[@dc9664]

His book is definitely worth reading.

[@ScooterOnHisWay2024]

Conan and Letterman figured out early that when Normie got a head of steam going, it was best just to ride it out and let Norm take it to the finish line. The man had a devilish grin like few others when doing bits that he loved.

[@awezman]

Norm has multiple books narrated by him on audible, too.

Norm's burns of OJ which got him fired from SNL were legendary. The only presenter on TV that called him a murderer during the trial, repeatedly! There's a comp of those jokes. You should check it out!

[@Zak6959]

1:10 not that I don’t mind reading myself. I bet the audiobook would be even better in Norm’s voice.

The book is an interesting almost fictional, biography that reads just the way he speaks to talk show hosts.
