This one hurts. A legend in his own time.
The respect he gave Dave was so genuine, you knew he loved him.

Maybe the only time norm ever really broke character.
Goddamn.

I love this one so much. They told him and the other roasters to be dirty and funny, so of course Norm did the opposite, clean and unfunny, and it's hilarious. This is terrible quality so let me know if you have a better version or just post it please.

I watched a bunch of his clips last night.
Pure gold.

I listened to his 2 comedy albums for the first time on Spotify last night. Highly highly recommend. I now realize I'm a bigger fan of Norm's than I thought I was. Funny how it took a death.

Like everyone else, I've been watching a lot of Norm clips the past couple days, but I don't think anything made me laugh harder than this little bit with Larry King

The Shane Gillis special is outstanding. I know a few "Fox
News dads", except they're childless and in their early 30s. It's equal parts pathetic and hilarious.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This is 48 minutes long and it starts with a montage of people mixing drinks. I didn’t make it past that. Am I supposed to show this to my dad, or what?

Fuck I love Bammer. His mere existence triggers me. Perhaps the most effortless troll to ever exist.
