norm is the wrong guy to comment on this as he is simply not very funny. he was not funny on snl and the ratings started dropping during weekend update. his t.v. show (the norm show) was not funny and was cancelled for low ratings. a second chance at a t.v. show (a minute with stan hooper) was cancelled after only 6 episodes. his movie (dirty work) bombed and his second starring role in a movie (screwed) did even worse. so now he's doing a podcast talking politics and making fun of more successful entertainers? just like the unfunny dennis miller. oh well im sure its a nice paycheck.

It was Trump who insisted the process was "rigged", up until he won and suddenly he's claiming it was the biggest win since X and Hillary's 3 million more votes in the popular count were all fake.

Anyone who seriously opposed Bush, out of principle, would see that Trump is a rejection of the neocon agenda and would be grateful for that.

[@personperson9591]

To the OP, I agree, I personally despite Trump's governance, but am sick of Trump jokes because half aren't even jokes. You can't just state a thing that happened and say it's a joke, or get some cheap one-shot in with no insight. I think Trump, like any topic, CAN be funny, but too many comedians forgot they're supposed to have insight beyond the average layman if they're doing observational, or they need to tell a damn good story, or at least use wit if you're being satirical. Its sad to see some like Colbert who were fantastic at satire while on the Report, but in the Trump era it really just comes across as bitching more than anything to me. And to the few above, if you think "global politics" is all there is to liking a candidate, that's incredibly short-sighted. Not sure why on earth you would think liberals would support someone who dismantles the health care and environmental laws, takes a hardline approach to immigration and cut taxes primarily for the wealthy to cut social programs. Those might be things you don't agree with, that's just a political point of view, but don't act shocked that "liberals" are acting equally outraged at Trump as they did with Bush, don't be that naive. In fact, going around and pissing off allies is one of the things many liberals directly hated about Bush, starting wars unilaterally and all that, and this is a return to those same instances, I mean in all of my life I can't recall ever potentially being enemies with Canada until now, so no, there's plenty of real things for liberals to dislike about Trump that isn't just "brainwashing".

And Farley found that Saigon Whore that bit his nose off!!!

[@jennifergersch9126]

They were after his cheese sandwiches, surely.

[@JacksAdvice]

I love his phone call bit, he does that in just enough interviews he still gets away with it and you can see how funny he finds it himself.

[@AngryTurds]

Things weren’t even going bad this time.

[@munkirtokage4816]

Holy shit this I swear I forget this bit and almost fall for it every fucking time. Maybe it's because I'm an idiot or maybe it's because I'm so keen on making sure my phone has zero chance it will go off but that spike of panic I get when the phone starts ringing is gold.

[@artvelcro]

You gotta love this guy. He's the only one who will tell it like it really is and he doesn't care if you like him or not.

[@Devypocalypse]

"Great to see you, I love you Joyce" mannn the way he said that. I hope he knew just how kuch we all loved him. Norm was the man.

[@TheYeahok]

I like how excited Norm is to talk to his sister-in-law. What a cool dude.

[@AncientSlugThrower]

Norm finally got to do his joke from The View.

[@laioneukamea]

Norm is a real comic I’ve always found him extremely funny!

[@dlwatib]

To me Norm isn't funny. He would probably be a good straight man for somebody else if he could wipe that smirk off his face, but alone he's not funny. But I do agree with him in this interview.

[@sebastienbeaulieu4070]

​@@dlwatibOf course he's straight! He owned a doghouse. You, however, sound like you don't own one.

Seeing Joy interview a family member she clearly likes talking to is so wholesome to watch. She has no agenda and her smile is so genuine. Her sincerity makes her more pretty.
