Thanks Daniela! At the risk of sounding pretentious, I thought the moonlight sonata, being a sombre piece as it is, would sort of juxtapose his absolutely hilarious moments. I admit I could have gone for a less darker version and the composition is such that the volume goes way too loud in the middle which if you compensate for, makes the whole song sound feeble. Also, you have to make these videos in that weird, depressing state and you just want to get that done with. Wow! This was like a therapy session for me. Thanks Pam!
@@whatimtalkingabout4093 - It’s also tough knowing that Norm would be wanting people to laugh not cry. But he would appreciate it as he did the last night on Letterman. Nice work for an under-rated comedian that I admittedly didn’t overstand when I was younger, but grew to absolutely love. I worked a terrible job about 4 years ago and I hated going in looking upset every day, being a manager and all. I spent every morning listening to either the “I’m not Norm” YT channel, or replays of the compilation of Norm and Dennis Miller, they put a smile on my face every morning for 4 some years, my wife always asking why I kept listening to the same bits over and over at 4am.
Nothing Norm ever did was by accident. His mistakes were on purpose and well-rehearsed, in my opinion. He was masterful at pretending to be a sloppy fool. RIP Norm.
What's crazy is normally I don't care at all about celebrity deaths. 2 months later I'm still crying and laughing at every Norm video on CZcams "Hey I'm just an old chunk of coal but I'm gonna be a diamond some day I'm gonna grow and glow till I'm so blue pure perfect I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face" Norm, you're a diamond now.
Crying and laughing, you and me both. By all the videos and comments out there, we aren't alone. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, or the last video I find, the second death, but they keep coming. Now wouldn't it be something if say a year from now Norm had planned another joke to be reveled. The posthumous punchline of "I didn't even know he was sick" shows he had the marbles to make it happen.
Oh wow. That is interesting. That happened to me too this same year with Trevor Moore. Never knew who has was until a month or so after he died. And he was pretty damn funny as well.
I always thought that Norm was an incredibly handsome man. especially in his younger years...but he seemed not to care much about that...I think he could have used his looks to further pursue a Hollywood career--but comedy meant too much to him...and he meant so much to us!....thanks Norm, for having the courage to not mention your long fight against cancer...and you certainly did not look ill, even at the end. You handled your impending death better than most of us ever will handle ours.
Really nice, Of course I knew him, the Lyle Lovett joke made me laugh so hard! But I got busy with life, lost track, who was that guy? Now since he died, been watching so many videos, listening to podcasts …crying a lot!! I can only imagine the devastation of his son and all who loved him. Beautiful tribute, thank you. We can all laugh as we mourn…Taught me to really value this precious life and to remember to laugh. He was truly a unique man.
I really loved Norm like you and thought I'd make something spl to share my thoughts while in absolute shock and now after about 2 months, I feel like revisiting him again. So Im working on an another one and hope everyone likes that one as well.
I've been a fan since I saw him in Billy Madison. His pumpkin head joke still creases me and I must have listened to it 1000 times!! He was a flawless comic.
That joke about the pumpkin head still kills me to this day. It might be the delivery as well as the actual joke, and Norm was a master at delivery. He could take a totally unfunny comment and have you laughing so hard you cry.
This was SO GOOD! I know I'll be coming back to it again. I loved all the clips you used. We definitely lost the greatest one out there. I'm still missing him like it just happened.
Dude the music is great and adds to it. I know you feel Norm's loss like the rest of the true fans. There's 15 million clips of Norm being funny online and if people don't like it they can watch anyone of them. This is brilliant and thank you. I loved Norm. Although I never liked his comedy.
I so agree with all the comments of praise for this tribute! With one exception: I love, love, love the music you chose: music from a Master Composer to honor the Master Comedian. And you did a Master job with this tribute! Thank you so very much.
We truly lost a very unique voice and once-in-many generations talent. Only one other celebrity death effected me like his--and that was Jerry Garcia's. Like the latter, Norm was a master in his field that is not easily, if ever, replaced.
R.I.P Norm Macdonald All I have left is Beetlejuice (lester green) And Bill Burr. The only famous people who are actually famous to me! No one else. See ya in heaven Norm!! ❤
I know what you mean. A thousand more videos added since his passing and a million more people appreciate him. Thank God we can visit with him anytime we want because of I'm not norm and buddyberry and the like. It's still sad though like that time the planes crashed into those buildings. I can't remember the date but it was a national tragedy.
LIves on in more than memory! I'm working on getting him resurrected , or maybe at least an AI Norm for eternity. Wouldn't it be great to have your own Norm at home? Could be like an Alexa but , ya know, smart .
Feel like I’ve watched this a million times already. Can anyone tell me exactly what version of Moonlight Sonata this is? Can’t seem to find it anywhere.
I dunno I was in that state of shock and confusion as I am sure lot of fans were and I kinda couldn't put a standard compilation, as it were, of the bits that I liked of his... I had a bitter sweet feeling when I was watching his clips when he passed away so I thought I'd replicate that with something like this. I know sounds kinda pretentious and In retrospect, it was a bad call I guess. Not very successful... And yeah as it happens, you just really want to get that thing over with because it is a bit difficult if you grew up watching his stuff so there are some really obnoxious, annoying parts in the video coz of the music but hey, you live and learn. Now, actually I tried some videos with minimal to no music and I kinda like the serene, introspective feel of it in the newer videos with music just coming in and out. You can check that out and lemme know your take on those Here's the norm's gambling one : czcams.com/video/w4NSNTn5QhM/video.html Here's the newer one exploring his comedy and his influences : czcams.com/video/v9obVTqOUK4/video.html
Thank you for your feedback. It is very helpful and I'll try n keep that in mind for future videos. I was trying to go for a bitter sweet tone for the video so I thought Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata would be an apt choice but anyway next time right... Thanks again!!
I know and at some places you're right. But u know its tricky with these things. U kinda don't wanna do it but still u feel u should. So what u end up with is a gist of what ur feeling but done with that 'lets quickly get this done with' coz u can't emotionally stay making it. I dunno, experiences may vary. But I've got another, probably better one about Norm coming soon. Hope u'll like that one.
Love this! Also the vibe that the music added to the video made greater.

The music sucks! Norm was a happy dude. He wouldn't like this.
@@mcerruti77 My thoughts exactly. And why add stuff onto what is already perfect?!
@@mcerruti77 I agree ... pathetic tinkerbell background music .. Norm would say, "What are you, refarted?"
That old chunk of coal will always be a diamond in my book
That's a good line.
For some reason, Norms death hit me hard. I find myself thinking about him at random times.
Rest In Peace…it was a draw.
You can tell this was made by a true fan. Beautifully done.
Nothing Norm ever did was by accident. His mistakes were on purpose and well-rehearsed, in my opinion. He was masterful at pretending to be a sloppy fool. RIP Norm.
Pretty much.
Couldn't agree more.
We lost the best comedian we had in Normy. RIP.
A real treasure that ol' chunk of coal he was.
What's crazy is normally I don't care at all about celebrity deaths.
2 months later I'm still crying and laughing at every Norm video on CZcams
"Hey I'm just an old chunk of coal but I'm gonna be a diamond some day

The GOAT. The world will miss Norm Macdonald.
I haven't seen a more thought out tribute than this... Especially the part about his bravery and his 'actual' bravery... Good job really👍
I can't stop watching Norm 😵💫
I only knew about him after his death and I’m deeply saddened that he is gone 😞
Oh wow. That is interesting. That happened to me too this same year with Trevor Moore. Never knew who has was until a month or so after he died. And he was pretty damn funny as well.
Better late than never. And at least we have videos of him to remember him by.
It may not be ideal, but it's the next best thing.
Great video. I’m still seriously bummed. A comedic genius.
I always thought that Norm was an incredibly handsome man. especially in his younger years...but he seemed not to care much about that...I think he could have used his looks to further pursue a Hollywood career--but comedy meant too much to him...and he meant so much to us!....thanks Norm, for having the courage to not mention your long fight against cancer...and you certainly did not look ill, even at the end.

The most beautiful smile is Norms.
It makes me soooooo happpppy!
RIP Norm...The world is a poorer place without you
There is something very special about this man. Thanks for a great tribute.

" b o r e d", his wit is second to none.
Absolutely! A True Genius.
Well done. Well done.
This was an outstanding tribute to one of the best. Thanks so much for doing this.

Perfect use of the adjective "flawless"). Not many comedians in history that were.
That joke about the pumpkin head still kills me to this day. It might be the delivery as well as the actual joke, and Norm was a master at delivery.
He could take a totally unfunny comment and have you laughing so hard you cry.
"Now now, maybe it's somebody else"
This was SO GOOD! I know I'll be coming back to it again. I loved all the clips you used. We definitely lost the greatest one out there. I'm still missing him like it just happened.
I feel the same- NOT "over it". 😭
Only norm fans will appreciate this.
Forgot to say thanks and goodbye
Beautiful tribute to by far the most loveable comedian to ever grace the stage
He was a "true" comic genius and absolutely the sweetest person indeed.
Man, these tributes are hard to watch.
"Do something with that ya freak".
We love him. Totally unique. Thank you.
Still miss him. Thanks for this, very beautiful and you could tell that it was made with love.
That's very kind of you. Thank you.
I am thinking of putting together another video that I want to make and I hope you will stick around for that.
Very nicely done. This deserves more views.
Thank you very much. I'm really glad you liked it. These feedbacks make all the efforts worthwhile.

Thank you
This was so good! You must really love Norm ❤️
Thanks a lot! I am a big fan of his as I am sure you are as well and really it was a shock for me when he passed away.
Excellent music choice.
Thank you very much!!
Excellent video man
Hey thanks buddy! Really appreciate it.
R.I.P Norm Macdonald
All I have left is Beetlejuice (lester green)
And Bill Burr. The only famous people who are actually famous to me! No one else. See ya in heaven Norm!! ❤
Norm is the best!! He could be my brother, my best friend, or my uncle. But dang. He is the father of thought for comedy. Long live Norm
Such a beautiful lovely tribute to the GOAT
It’s patently obvious that you’re a fan, well done!
I miss Norm 🖤
This is beautiful
The best tribute I've seen. Thank you 💕
That's very kind of you and I'm really glad you liked it. There's probably another one about Norm coming soon. Hope you stick around for that!
Legend..miss you Norm
That 9/11 bit never got old
This was amazing :) Thank you!
I'm going to miss that old chunk of coal.
I'll his comedy as well. Thanks for watching!
wonderful. video.. been a Norm fan for life
Thank you! Yeah, me too
Thank You For This 💜
He was a good guy, and will be.
I don't think we lost anything. After his death we gained more appreciation for his life.
I know what you mean. A thousand more videos added since his passing and a million more people appreciate him. Thank God we can visit with him anytime we want because of I'm not norm and buddyberry and the like. It's still sad though like that time the planes crashed into those buildings.

Love NOrm, great tribute
Thank you. . yeah he truly was a genius.
So sad ...
You bastard. I’m crying now. From my eyes. They look completely black. Hypnotic…
The same music is used on Derek & Clive in the sketch called The horn
There were no services planned
Brutal.
Oh my good lord it's making it worse
LIves on in more than memory! I'm working on getting him resurrected , or maybe at least an AI Norm for eternity.
Wouldn't it be great to have your own Norm at home? Could be like an Alexa but , ya know, smart .
The civilization would be forever indebted to you for that. Just keep on trying.
Thanks, I'm sad again
The more I hear about this MacDonald guy the less I care for him
Rickles, Dangerfield, MacDonald.
how
How I miss this SOB!
FUCK. I can't believe Norm is gone. FUCK.
He truly was a genius. Lost him too soon. R.I.P
Good stuff
He would get a kick out of this tribute music. He would think it was ridiculous
Feel like I’ve watched this a million times already.
Can anyone tell me exactly what version of Moonlight Sonata this is? Can’t seem to find it anywhere.
Chairman of the Bored...!!!
I don't really get putting sad and haunting music over comedy bits.

Be better to just take out the music. It’s too sad and tribute should be happy I think
Norm wouldn't approve of sappy sad music. Not at a all
What? " Be sad now!" Have you learned nothing from Norm?
The tinkle track is too loud! Can’t hear Norm!!!
Hah?
By the way Beethoven was deef.
Haha! And so am I apparently.
I liked it, but the music was a bit too gloomy for my taste.
Thank you for your feedback. It is very helpful and I'll try n keep that in mind for future videos. I was trying to go for a bitter sweet tone for the video so I thought Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata would be an apt choice but anyway next time right...

Yeah I thought it was a bit too gloomy too, much like that tragedy…

can't handle the background music. loud and intrusive.
I had to turn it off because of the music
What’s with the creepy ass moonlight sonata organ
music is too much
I hope I never have to. But if I had to again make another such video I'll make sure to correct that. Thanks for your feedback!☺️

good...... get rid of the silly (and way too loud) piano track
loose the music
