‘Ah!! I’m Fucking
Uncle Burt’s Wife!!’
Hercules Says Norm Macdonald’s Saturday Comedy Central Special Demands To Be Watched!!

That's fuckin' who I was to the very right of Mr. MacDonald during this very taping in San Francisco and I can attest to its awesomeness. His bit on being a serial killer is great great stuff.

..is a god. I just listened to this moth joke he told on conan o'brian's show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vuIQnIudVzw) ... so good. His set at the Bob Sagat roast was fucking brilliant ... he was basically roasting everybody on the dais, the audience, the producers, and everybody watching at home with each joke. Can't wait to see the special.

People who say he was funny at that roast need a CAT Scan immediately.

Respectfully, I think you might have missed a point of what he was doing. A lot of people these days complain about the roasts not being particularly funny anymore. What Norm literally did was tell the jokes that you would find if you googled "roast jokes". I'm sure the results have changed, but upon hearing that that's what he did I remember looking that up and finding most of the jokes he told on the first page. I personally thought it was genius, although I won't pretend I "got it" the first time I saw it.

And not in a good way.

Yes, Norm was mocking crappy old roast jokes. The material on this special brings us back to the real Norm.

the dudes dreadful he was irratating on SNL

Comedy Central roasted a Street Fighter character?

Or maybe he's just storing nuts in his cheeks for winter.

There were some week sketches on it, but most of it is gold. Also, he had tons of geek stuff on it. Mr. Fantastic presenting the codenames he came up with for the Fantastic Four, including his own. "No, Reed... what we're saying, is that you should be called Mr. Strechyarms." and a new reporter at the Daily Planet trying to bang Lois Lane by hinting at secretly being Superman. "Oh my god it's my archenemy Lex Luthor..! Ehm.... I mean... Who's that dude?"

any closet "dirty work" fans out there besides myself? great stupid movie to revisit every few years.

The hookers in the trunks scene is legendary. Norm: "I've never seen so many dead hookers at once!" Random creepy guy: "God knows I have."

I also saw this show live at the Fillmore when they taped it. Best comedy show I've ever seen. I totally agree that his bit about being a great serial killer is hilarious, as is his bit about human sexuality. "Can I tempt you........?"

I love Norm but that wasn't funny in the least.

And even if you disagree, he had the balls to insert a slam against that murderous fuck, OJ almost every week. It even cost him his job.

Maybe they should film it 16:9 and scale it down to 4:3...

The quietest moments on SNL were those times when he was anchoring Weekend Update. Him staring at the camera, you could almost hear him counting and waiting (no hoping and sweating and silently whining "pleeeease laugh") for the audience to laugh before going on to the next joke. It almost seemed inappropriate NOT to hear the audience heckling him live on air during those moments. Even his brothers, who are journalists on the CBC in Canada, could have been funnier than him (I was always kind of hoping, when Neil was on his way out, that someone would try that). He owes his inconceivable survival to Burt Reynolds (and Alex Trebek).

Not sure why they chose this one, but maybe it was because they didn't want to spoil any of the other bits from the special. He delves into the thought process of being a serial killer (REALLY funny), how shameful sex is, why going out to dinner is really weird, the "battle" against cancer", your own heart attacking you, and more thoughts on OJ. If you like Norm even a little then this should definitely be a pleaser.

mostly when they get drunk on airplanes....always a big fan of Norm since SNL, loved his last cd so ima dvr it

not really his designated field though

Some of the most brilliant shit I've ever seen. If you didn't think it was hilarious, then you're the douchelord he was making fun of.

It almost makes him funnier. Someone wrote about the audience being quite during Weekend Update..thats funny! His humor is funny because its so weird and absurd & somehow it becomes even funnier to me when the audience doesn't know how to react. I kinda think a lot of people who hate him are the type to need other people to laugh to justify their humor for them while people who appreciate comedy more can appreciate someone with a unique and strange delivery getting unpredictable results for their jokes

Oh good God yes. I remember when I was about 11 me and all my buddies watched that movie so our parents could have a moment to themselves and shoot the shit. Their logic was "oh, it's that boring guy from SNL and it's PG-13. This is TOTALLY safe." What followed was an hour and a half of every kid in the room realizing that they just watched something they shouldn't have, including the SAIGON WHORE THAT BIT CHRIS FARLEY'S NOSE OFF! It also taught me at an early age that no matter how bad things get, there is always beer. I hold it close to my heart even to this day.

Having seen this show live, they really should've aired it on HBO instead. The constant bleeps and the cutting of almost half his material hurt it a little. Still funny as hell, though.

...the funniest moment was when Norm made that bad joke about throwing Saget down a well, and then he just turned around and stared at Saget with a weird look on his face and said, "THEY WANT TO THROW YOU DOWN A WELL."

For true fans of stand up comedy (or what comedians call a smart crowd) Norm is hilarious. If you don't get it, it doesn't mean you aren't smart, it just means you aren't in on the joke. If you notice during the roast, the other comedians are laughing the hardest when Norm really gets rolling. I for one laughed my ass off last night.

anyone else notice that? its freaky

can watch Carrot Top, or perhaps Carlos Mencia or Larry the Cable Guy. There is a lot available for those people. Reruns of Full House is probably more their thing or classic Erkle. The biting wit of The Man Show (farting and boobs are hilarious). There is a lot out there for the Norm haters.

...and a lot of them would like to throw you down one! A well! They wanna murder you in a well! It seems a little harsh, but... apparently they wanna murder you in a well... it says here on this card.

I don't know when it's airing again, but there are torrents of the show up already.

I really don't know what happened. Norm got old I guess. The jokes were flat and so over the top dark they were depressing instead of funny. I've loved Norm for a long time but that last stand up special was terrible. Don't know how well this bodes for his new show.

His SNL newscasts were brilliant and I remember his pre-SNL stand-up being terrific as well.

Norm's latest stand up if far from awful. I watched last night and laughed for an hour straight. This is the same Norm he has always been. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Don't believe me? Watch some of his real early stuff here: http://www.4shared.com/dir/5289625/8444adb/sharing.html
