Quoted from ImNotNorm:Here you go. His level of trolling on the show is amazing! They couldn't even catch on that he was messing with them.
"I realized I did something unforgivable"....proceeds to pop a mint. LOL
That clip from his first appearance on The View from 1999 was freaking hilarious! The level of trolling was off the chart.
"Ok, manslaughter!"

Here's another gem when Meredith Vieira tries to burn Norm but subsequently gets burnt in the process.
A day in the life of Norm MacDonald by the Washington Post.
I'm so envious of that guy watching the Super Bowl with Norm.
When Norm was still with us I signed up on the Cameo.com website to be alerted when he would be available next time to make a video for purchase.
Unfortunately that time never came and I was never able to get a personal video from that old chunk of coal before he passed away.
Then today....I received an email from Cameo suggesting I should book Norm for a video Cameo appearance. What the H? Don't they know he's dead?
Or could this be one of the most insane troll jobs ever and Norm is actually still alive and fucking with all of us??
Either way....Norm's still making me laugh from beyond the grave.

Larry King called it a dirt nap. Paul Newman told me you never get over it.

I heard that Adam Eget is doing cameos for fifteen dollars a man. I think it was cameos anyway...
Norm would have been pleased to be left out of the Oscars' "In Memoriam" reel -- his face up on the projector screen with the choir singing a peppy rendition of "Spirit In The Sky" doesn't really seem like his kind of thing.
Quoted from Darcy:Norm was born in Canada, Quebec City.
Just seeing this.
What kind of pigeon was he?
Hilarious.
Fantastic special, really well done and impressive that he's that on sitting alone talking to himself with zero feedback. The bit about the doctors had me rolling.
I also stumbled upon this thread from 9 years ago, searching for our own!

The wife and I watched Nothing Special a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome! There's some seriously politically incorrect stuff in there and it's hilarious!
The commentary at the end, by his peers, was very moving.
QSS
Nothing Special is definitely worth your time if you're a Norm fan, even if it doesn't quite "work" as standup comedy. It's sad he didn't get the chance to perform it for a live audience, since that's how it was meant to be experienced. But still nice to have a "goodbye" from Norm, and see him enjoying his own material as he always did.
The afterward with some of his comic friends was good too -- some funny anecdotes and clearly he meant a lot to all of them.
Quoted from fosaisu:It's sad he didn't get the chance to perform it for a live audience, since that's how it was meant to be experienced.
He actually had been doing most of those jokes at shows for a while. I have a recording from when I saw him in early 2019 where he did pretty much all that stuff.
