    This is, I believe, the best joke telling I’ve seen from Norm. The way he almost adopts a character when he gets to the Uncle Terry part and progresses through the war flashback, getting more and more ASMR and even affecting a kind of old timey war captain kind of cadence etc, not to mention the “faaaaarr from these shores” bit and then staring off into nothing when he recalls the troop abandoning him.

    Norm is the expert in these overlong, aimless, wandering, jokes with simple, dumb, ridiculous punchlines. That's the joke - that how long it takes to get to that punchline is as much the point as the punchline itself.
    I always wondered whether these are legit jokes, or whether Norm makes them on the fly and adds a lot of his own spin on them to drag them out.
