I didn't even know he was sick

Good bump. Here is a compilation of Norm's O.J. jokes:

I’ll watch the OJ joke compilation a couple times a year, always amazing.

i notice all these people who insisted OJ was framed didn't make any mention of "the framed former football star" after he died... they know and they always did

Who insisted he was framed and talked about his death?

Norm Macdonald wasn't funny. That was his only joke.

The day OJ died a couple of players were talking about it and someone else spoke up and said "OK. So cancer went from being 100% bad to 99.9% bad."

I immediately thought of Norm.

That is literally the dumbest thing I have read today (and I have read a bunch of crazy conspiracies from nutty Trump supporters today so you cleared a really high bar).

Norm had a great joke for every situation.

There are very few humans who have ever walked the planet who were funnier than him.

I have often said that if Norm had to die, I wish it was by random gunfire or something like that where he knew he only had minutes to live. I am quite sure he would have found comedic gold I only having a few minutes to live.

He made a good living for decades as a comedian. Which means he was demonstrably funny. Since he was a poker player, Norm was a friend to several of the people posting and reading this thread, none of whom appreciate your comment. And in case you're too ignorant to be aware, putting down somebody in a thread like this doesn't make you edgy or cool. If just makes you look like a f***ing ****. I guarantee you that nobody thinks better of you for posting this comment.

+100

Greg, the poker forum certainly appreciated your eyeball glasses.

Wearing those glasses establish your credibility in recognizing comedic gold. an ability far beyond the ability of most CPAs.

(That Norm was memorably funny was why I went to the OJ compilation as soon as I learned early this morning it was posted on YouTube)

Go F yourself you scumbag. How do they make people this stupid and inconsiderate?

Norm McDonald is one of the most overrated comedians of all time. Hacky comedy for low vibration dweebs.

This is getting embarrassing. Norm had a massively successful career as a comedian and was revered by his peers. Maybe he wasn't your cup of tea but to say he wasn't funny or was overrated just makes you look like a dim-witted ignoramus lacking the ability to see beyond your own personal preferences.

You don't have to like all kinds of jazz but don't say Miles Davis sucked as a trumpet player and expect to be taken seriously.

Says, "join date, Jan 2024"

He was really good at making people laugh by talking, google moth joke.

One of the best set ups for a joke I ever heard ... a classic of Russian Lit,

"the cold took her, like it did so many of us..."

"My son, Gregr Gregorovich,...... I no longer loved him"

"If only I had the courage..."

This guy and nucularburro are like the turd sandwich vs giant douche of south park fame.... not sure who is worse. Obviously neither one of them have the intellectual capacity to get his humor.

The anti-spam bot identified a couple crappy posts by people like Puppy Water as spam and auto-deleted them.

Almost spit out my coffee laughing when I saw that. Appropriate for this thread imo.

If you listen to the backstory of why this joke was told in the first place it make it ever more legendary. As norm tells it, he had only prepared material a particular amount of time. When Conan told him during a commerical break that they would be on for another 7 minutes or so, Norm decided to tell this joke as a filler to kill the time.

Just listen to the Norm Macdonald Live show and Norm had Dana Carvey read the following joke:

A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up & saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane.

He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his.

Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out, "Business trip or pleasure?"

She turned, smiled and said, "Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston .."

He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs.

Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?"

Lecturer," she responded. "I use information that I have learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."

"Really?" he said. "And what kind of myths are there?"

"Well," she explained," one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native
American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait...

Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers when actually it is men of Jewish descent who are the best.

I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck."

Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said, "I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you.. I don't even know your name."

"Tonto," the man said, "Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba.

The joke is a bit better with "down home they call me Bubba".

I get that some people might not find Norm to be their choice of tea. Different strokes. Fine.

But just know that professional comedians loved Norm.

To a T, those who were most knowledgeable about comedy thought Norm was the best. If you ever hear another comedian speak about Norm, it will sound more like worship than anything else.
