    When you are one step ahead of the crowd, you are a genius.
    Two steps ahead, and you are deemed a crackpot.

    Had to repost this one specifically. People in this community in particular will enjoy this clip enormously - Norm goes on the talkshow 'the view' and makes a bunch of jokes about the Clinton's being murderers, and Barbara Walters looks like she might have a stroke. She slaps his wrist over n over but Norm keeps going with it. It's briliiant. Kind of in the spirit of Andy Kaufman:



    Almost every comedian speaks of Norm with the greatest reverence. He was a comic's comic. Total genius. Sad day. Norm said a million things that would have ended the career of nearly any other comic, and he always pulled it off somehow. That was his magic. He really just didn't give a f#ck.

    Norm was one of those comedians who did what he did and never ever tried to be someone else or something he wasn't. Modern time genius, totally unpredictable (especially on talk shows), very unique and most of all, always was very funny. He seemed a bit of an asshole some of the time but then again most of the time he seemed like he was a really nice guy. Mysterious one. And he made me laugh so much. One of my favorites of all time.

    Exclamation Re: Norm Macdonald passed away

    • Norm Macdonald Had a Secret (2022 Documentary):

    A tribute documentary about Norm, his incident in Iowa, his philosophies, and the things he kept quiet. I tried to condense what I love about Norm into this tribute. There are a lot of people I trust to make me laugh, but with Norm it’s almost like there’s also this element of joy you get beyond just humor. Joy from his demeanor and originality, even if the joke flops. Hopefully I didn't misrepresent any of his thoughts or events, just trying to spread Norm far and wide and add to all the awesome content out there, and hopefully introduce more people to him who would have a chance to connect with his unique life and comedic style. It’s weird feeling a connection with somebody you’ve never met, and like many others have said - it was the first “celebrity” death I’ve felt any emotion with, but I think this was part of Norm’s genius - he didn't see value in posturing, possessions, or regarding himself above others - as is the default in Hollywood…he was just a guy. And for me, it's very refreshing that his life exists as this beacon. Thanks for watching and thanks to r/NormMacdonald which led me to many useful links/articles/clips. Because some have asked - the book he is reading is his own novel (fake memoir) titled "Based on a True Story". Revisions: -On graduating at 14…someone brought up a good point I didn’t put together. Norm used to lie about his age haha so it’s possible graduating at 14 was just a confusion with his actual birthdate and he’s just really bright, but not savant. Hard to find anything on this. I saw somewhere else that he “skipped the last two years” of HS (and Norm would always lie and tell people he dropped out.) -It’s *possible* Regis was genuinely concerned about Norm “losing” the $500,000 for charity. Reportedly he doesn’t know the answers beforehand. I could have been more objective there. -Also, I think it's important to mention - Norm discussing not disclosing cancer is in a "show business" sense. I could have provided more context. Personally, I don't take his message as "you should hide cancer from your family". He probably knew that if he told any more than a few people word would get out, and his comedic work would be tarnished with pity. -(typo) Comedian Lara Ray should be “Lara Rae” -The music got much louder than I wanted in some parts, I will be sure to listen to the final draft on both headphones and my phone before uploading in the future.
