- He might seem a little old-fashioned to you, but what do you expect from a deeply closeted gay man like Norm?

Norm Macdonald Is Married To A Real Battle-Axe | CONAN on TBS
/ teamcoco - Komedie
He's so far behind his time that he's ahead of his time.
Came full circle lol
Full circle is where it's at!
It's not that he's ahead of his time, it's that everyone else is traveling in the wrong direction... all these feminists and safe space sjws and other forms of mental illness. If you had a rabid dog you'd put it down. Have a rabid human apparently you let them live.. that's truly backwards if you ask me.
@@livedandletdie I think you have it on a very good analogy. We used to understand that we do things for the common good. Now it is pull apart and destroy. Each time we separate a little further based on race...gender...economics...income...We waste more resources in this country on total BS and we don't seem to get that.
It's called timeless.
Norm is proof that the actual joke is less important than the delivery
Thank you for getting Norm. A lot of people miss this about him. That's what made him great.
The journey is always more important than the destination.
Comedy is almost entirely about the delivery. I can tell a really funny joke and it falls flat. As I can’t deliver it.
Actually, he is proof that they’re both important. A bad joke with amazing delivery is still bad. A great joke with poor delivery falls flat. But a good joke with flawless delivery is something to behold.
I remember when he brought his brother on Weekend Update on SNL to fill in for a minute and said to him “Not so easy is it?”
The way Norm starts cracking up when he says “people that like grapes” gives me real, actual joy.
That's my favorite moment of Norm.
That delivery-- as if he's disgusted by people who like grapes.
The double take to Andy at “go through that charade, keep appearances up” always kills me
It's so perfect.
You mean Kitner Lesley’s girlfriend?
@@matthewmarsilio8078 out of all the swedish german jokes i've ever heard, Norm's Andy Richter jokes is by far and away the best
@@ryanfox2478they're a big hit in Georgia
Norm MacDonald has surpassed dad humor and has entered grandfather humor territory.
you're onto something there. he is an anti-anti-comic. he is self-aware, completely confident, extremely intuitive, empathetic to his audience, and a master of delivery. comedy is almost secondary to his whole presentation, but somehow, it makes the comedy better than anything else out there for how unique it is.
Superb vintage, ain't it? :)
@@BlueFinch I think what sets him apart is how much he can do well. He goes into all these clean bits just to set up a dirty joke. But, that's not all he does. You never really know where Norm is going to go and that unexpected suprise is a big part of comedy.
Blue Finch exactly
He's always been. It's more apparent now that he's ACTUALLY old, though
"Well, let me say something more modern and stylish then."
-"Okay."
"My wife went into a coma."
i swear i thought he was going to say "my wife went into a coma... in the year 2014"
I kept coming back to this clip and liking the comments
I thought he was going to say "my wife's a bitch"
I don't get that joke
@@adithyaramesh5634Its funny cause it's true
I've watched this a hundred times and it still makes me laugh every time. We miss you Norm. Rest in Peace
Norm! ❤️
WHAT A BATTLE-AX! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Same here, I laughed so hard I cried and I am not even one of those guys without a dog house.
Amen.
I laugh more every time I watch it
I love how Norm keeps using the grapes metaphor until Conan becomes a bit annoyed. The mischievous glint in Norm's eye when he says, "... people that like grapes!" tells the whole story. Wonderful.
Well he was just being honest. I was really disappointed when I bought grapes of wrath and all I got was a book, no grapes
@@kendallandrews8691 Did you find it in the grape section?
@@edwardh1003 nah, I wish. Then I would have found grapes
Doubling down on a joke that didn't get a laugh was Norm's signature move.
Yes 😄😄 Followed up by ,,If this was a memoir, I would put juicy things from my own life'', which can literally mean grapes, or in a kind of double abstract way, grapes of wrath!
Norm would have gone on for 20 minutes about Grapes of Wrath had Conan let him
I'm at a point with Norm that if he had pulled out Grapes of Wrath from his suit I wouldn't have been surprised.
SO TRUE! LOL
@Daniel Johnston777

Norm can take as long as he wants, no problem here. Still the funniest guy in America.
And it would have been funny. His delivery is perfect.
"I says to her , I says "
Xd
I said by God
K Trevor Wilson also does this... might be a Canadian thing
Archaelleon illiteracy is canadian? it’s southern
...I sez, yadurdeedog!
With Norm, some of his funniest moments aren't even the punchlines. That little "and i said by god..." at 4:06 is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
He then immediately looks at Andy lmao
That is so true. His delivery is what gets me every time.
I think he changed his attitude slightly for that last joke just to amuse Conan.
Absolutey my favorite part of it 😂
"you dirty dog" is hands down my favourite term of endearment here on out
how does he simultaneously sound like hes losing his marbles but is making jokes that take crazy levels of awareness?
@Bink "SOCIOPATH" WAY off.
imsnb you just defined the word genius.
"simultaneously sound like" That's the act. Norm's said most audiences don't like comedians who are smarter than them, so he talks in an ordinary conversational way a lot. He now has about 42 years of standup experience at that. And he dropped out of high school to do jobs like garbage man himself. But now he's one of those guys who own the OED, and he often throws in a subtle point or his literacy or a third layer of absurdist humor*, because he can hardly help it or because a juxtaposition makes his comments funnier.
*Everyone likes grapes.
He's a dirty dog, that's how.
he answered your question already... he's deeply closeted. lol
Did you notice as Norm went full Rodney Dangerfield, Conan smoothly assumed the role of Johny Carson? He completed the picture.That's why he's the best.
3:48 "I'm sorry to hear that" sounds exactly like something Carson would say
Also someone like Don Rickles. These people were really funny and no one misunderstood comedy as insults
Fallow wouldve faked laugh there like an idiot
@@For3verAwesome Also at 2:45 that little "oh you do, do ya?" sounded exactly like Carson
Yea, man. Conan does not get enough credit. He has been one of the best for 25 years.
Rodney Dangerfield, Norm MacDonald. 2 geniuses who will not be duplicated.
Until they finally use Dangerfield's DNA to finally clone him!
Exactly my thought too. He had the same amazing humor as Rodney
Norm loved Rodney, this was an homage to him.
absolutely
So true.
“Chestersield Figarettes” haunts Conan to this day 😂😂😂 if only he had landed that joke
Thank you! I’ve watched this 100+ times and I’ve never been able to figarette (figure out) what he said. He meant to say Chesterfield Cigarettes for anyone else that struggled with this
@@RameshKumar-mv3jd wonderful pun, my friend. I personally would’ve gone with “figarette out” (figure it out) if I were you, but I appreciate your take nonetheless
@@RameshKumar-mv3jd I think the point is they can't actually advertise cigarettes so he had to adapt on the fly to still make the point.
The only comedian who could pull out a totally predictable punch line and still make you cry with laughter. 1000% charisma
@Kevin Cobb I make EVERYONE watch the moth joke
Yeah I don't think he did a lot of pulling out-
the oral sex one was so obvious, and yet oh mt god
The punchline wasn't obvious. It was "that's modern medicine for you"
@@timothysztaba437 thats the tag lol
Norm is slowly turning into the crazy old man he's always been pretending to be.
Plebchok
Great observation
Or he's been pretending to be turning into the old coot he always was.
He was born a crazy old man.
mhmmmmmmmm. my thoughts exactly haha
It's the world that's crazy, NOT Norm
The best part of this masterpiece, is just seeing how much Conan is genuinely enjoying it
Agreed. Conan was the perfect audience.
He could barely contain his laughter before he even got to the punch line
I think he was slightly inaccurate on his assessment of the bit. It was more like Rodney Dangerfield's ghost inhabited Norm's body for a few minutes.
"That's modern medicine for ya!" 😂
Conan covering his laughter with his hands in shame. 😂
I've watched a lot of Conan's podcast and he seems to cover his face when laughing, not out of shame, but sheer hilarity
Norm's delivery level is over 9000.
Haha, the absolute madman.
IMPOSSIBLE!
He’s pure genius
9000!!!! there is no way that can be right!!!???
Norm takes it to "11" every time. :)
Norm is a comic genius. He’s so ahead of everyone in the room but acts like he has no idea what he’s doing.
Yeah, this just struck me, he led them along all the way and knew exactly where he was going but it feels like a regular conversation.
"acts like he has no idea what he’s doing" Conan really likes Norm but it's funny that Conan doesn't completely get that. Conan mentioned to Letterman that he helps Norm out, keeps him directed. Norm almost never needs it. The wandering confusion is an act because he enjoys combining that with sudden punchlines.
I know, I adore him. 😂 He's like the drunken master of comedy.
Brazilian Atlantis you clearly don’t understand the true art of being the straight man. One might infer u clearly don’t own a doghouse
@@nostalgiajunkie lololololol
I've seen this clip over 100 times and it still makes me laugh every time. RIP Norm.
Best Norm clip of all time.
Rip Norm.
Norm and Conan were such a great duo. Some of the best comedic moments in late night television history.
Like Johnny Carson & Rodney Dangerfield.
conan said norm was his favorite guest. for good reason....i.e. the moth joke, cortney thorne smith, etc.....
“Doc, she’s choking” just annihilated me when I first saw this clip. RIP Norm. One of the best ever.
“That’s modern medicine for ya…” Lolol Rip norm
HILARIOUS
Rest in peace, sir.
Conan could riff with him so damn well. He knows exactly how to egg Norm on and obviously finds Norm’s humor top tier. Thanks for the laughs Norm…thankfully, Norm didn’t pass on Sept. 11…because it would, you know… remind me of that tragedy…
Hardest I've laughed in my life, not hyperbole
The Best
"I said ya dirty dog!" That's something that just makes me cry laughing that I couldn't explain to anyone and make it sound funny. It just hits me when he says it.
I feel the exact same way. Something in the way he says it, not sure what, makes it the most hilarious thing I've ever heard.
My favorite part
It's the speed and surprised way he says it. The eye sight comment sucker punched him. And he's shook.
Great delivery.
Same. Something about the way he shoots those looks at Conan & Andy right after he says it.
@@Bathtubcrocodile True master of the craft.
This is Norm Macdonald channeling Rodney Dangerfield's spirit from the Carson days. I love it.
I love the way Conan can’t contain his laughter even before the “Doc, she’s choking” punchline is delivered. Then the old timey radio announcer bit making fun of Norm’s jokes was perfect.
I’ve watched every second of these 3 together that I can find on CZcams, and it’s never enough.
Conan always knew where Norm was going and always let it happen lol
Can you explain the joke?
@@MarceloRamos-uk8cd Most people would assume that the doctor told him to perform oral sex on his wife in order to wake her up. It's obviously not something a doctor would actually recommend, but it almost seems like it could possibly work. The punch line shows that Norm thought he was supposed to make his wife (who was in a coma) perform oral sex on him.
It's funny because it's a surprise and is also poking fun at Norm himself. It's ridiculous for him to believe this would wake her up, or that it would even be a reasonable thing to do to an unconscious person. It also plays into a common joke that men are selfish and only like to receive oral sex, not give it. Norm also liked to push the boundary of what could be said on Conan's show, and this joke did that as well.
As with most Norm jokes, his delivery is what really makes it funny. The joke by itself is just mediocre.
@@MarceloRamos-uk8cd You'll understand when you're older
The clip with Courtney Thorne-Smith is the best one I can remember. That and the professor of logic bit.
Norm McDonald is so sarcastic he doesn't even know he's being sarcastic anymore
Someone who gets it. People who take him as he is don't get it, and to them he must seem boring or something, i dunno.
lol exactly
so true
He's kinda grown into that sarcastic character and now he's too far gone so he's trapped in it haha
I don't think he's sarcastic at all.
Andy laughing at "that's modern medicine" is just so perfect.
So many awesome little unscripted moments in this clip!
May I also add him laughing at "you won't hear this from many 1935 comic." Kills me every time.
thats the most genuine thing ive heard from "late night" in the last 7 years
Norm saying “if this was a memoir”, then immediately correcting himself, “if this _were_ a memoir”, was a window into his crotchety soul… R.I.P.
@@MegaZeta how so :
I'm listening this for the 100th time and grinning ear to ear
Ikr
100 times to get the grammar right in your comment. You blew it like Norms comatose wife. 😁
The joke was so funny and just when you think it’s over Norm hits you with the final nail in the coffin “That’s modern medicine” 💀💀💀💀
Who else is on a Norm bender after the sad news? What a funny human being this Comedic genius was. RIP Norm McDonald.
wow you mentioned the dead guy, let me just give your comment a like
Can't stop thinking about it.
Ive been binging Norm videos all day
Ive been watching him everyday for months.
This seems to imply that I am not on a Norm bender overall.
His delivery on "But that's modern medicine." Was perfect
Little Cripple it's like the Easter egg punchline
I love the extra punchline and usually his delivery is perfect but I do feel that line got lost in the audience applause.
Too bad because it was hella funny. Norm is awesome.
What was the joke in it?
@@patricksjoberg9011 Andy, with his incredible experience in the comedy field, got it and for him that was the real punchline
I don't understand. Could someone explain?
I seek this clip out every now and again.
Not sure I can think of any funnier sequence that I've ever seen. It's amazing
So funny. I loved how he laughed at other people jokes so hard. He just wanted everyone to be loved. Great guy.
I know right? How bout the way that Fallon guy laughs at jokes on that tonight show? lol
Best. Deadpan. Ever. RIP Norm.
Too early to say Deadpan
@@stevenfernandez4845 hahahaha
everyone says deadpan. how about just a funny guy
most people dont even understand his comedy
@@stevenfernandez4845 Hahahaha!!!!
That blew my mind that the microphone on the desk actually does something.
I didn't know what u were talking about till I seen it first hand 😂
@@Anthonymaxout if they were gonna do that, they could have easily chosen an effect more authentic to "old-time radio".
@@sexhaver420 But it makes no sense to have a mic sitting there that just has reverb on it, that would sound awful. His voice doesn't get louder either, it's just the effect. It's still coming from his lapel mic
@@Anthonymaxout yup. that mic has been on conans desk for nearly 30 years and its only purpose is to be knocked over "on accident" by conan here and there
Your username and the profile pic is so majestic. I feel I am obligated to bow down and kiss your feet.
This is one of his great appearances. Conan and Andy both deserve some credit here for playing along and coaxing through the jokes. Worked perfectly and I really doubt it was scripted. They knew enough to let him hammer every punchline.
" Until I met my wife I always felt incomplete , now I'm finished " Greatest one liner ever 💯🔥
The best part is when Norm says he’s deeply closeted and keeps glaring back at Andy
I saw that 😁
@RIP Norm now did you have that name since before or after he died? I'm confused about the chronology here
@@jaredmclaren5571 3 weeks ago. RIP Norm
I think you imagined that part but still funny aha
@@realchilldude1271 1:49
" Until I met my wife I always felt incomplete , now I'm finished ". I'm gonna surely say that line on my wedding day 🤣🤣
That's a Rodney Dangerfield joke.
@@LDacic I'll tell ya kid, I'm not much for jokes...
@@LDacic most of this routine is Rodney's jokes
dont, its better to go from the heart, if you try to go comedy youre going to crash and burn- wedding crashers
@@LDacic according to norm himself no comedian can write his own jokes.
This man's cadence and management of silences could make of reading an obituary the pinnacle of comedy. Incredible, non-replicable talent.
I always come back to this clip when I’m feeling really down.. Thank you Norm. We love you ❤
"You dirty dog." The was he says it and how it drops after each joke is perfect.
I’ve seen this clip multiple times but it gets me to laugh every time. So great.
I come back just to hear him say "dirty dog" now
My favorite single Norm punchline atm. RIP ya dirty dog.
Yes, no time to slip on the words there, 'cause he has to deliver them before the crowd bursts out laughing. A pro.
What a genuinely unique comedian.
Indeed. You're pretty funny yourself Gunnyboy. If you haven't seen it, Nerdwriter did a nice essay on Norm a few weeks ago. It's nice to see him get some recognition for the work he's put into the craft,
Unique comedian?
As in funny?
You've been in L.A. too long.
Careful Fox, your stupid is showing right through the ignorance.
Darren, you tagged the wrong person obviously because your comment makes no sense in this context.
unique comedian? Unlike you, off brand idubbbz.
I've watched this clips like 50 times and I cry laughing every time. RIP to the greatest comedian of my lifetime.
"Doc, she's choking" rest in laughter you beautiful soul.
Norm’s comedy is so deeply layered that it makes you think he has no idea what he’s doing, but in reality, he’s never not in control.
I think that is what has made him so funny!
Exactly! I don't think people realize how hard you have to work to make it seem so accidental like that. I think Norm was not only naturally funny but he also worked meticulously at perfecting his craft. He is easily the single best standup comic of this generation.
Yes
His punchlines are deeply closeted
I liked that his jokes were a slow burn to the punchline which ALWAYS killed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Conan is one of the few people that was on Norm's wavelength. They were a great comic duo.
Dennis Miller as well.
@@abc456f Oh yeah, forgot about him.
go listen to his deeply closeted bit with larry king its way better
@@DarknessFlameMedia no it's not
He has similar chemistry with Jeff Goldblum and Kevin Nealon.
This might be my favorite 5 minutes of a guest ever on a talk show.
"I said by God"
the fact that the audience is so uncomfortable makes this even funnier.
I was in the audience and i have to say the warm up guy was not good and he setup an uncomfortable vibe. Norm was amazing but also i could barely hear some of the stuff he said and i heard none of the stuff he said when the audience was laughing.
was it brody stevens?
bevrosity no. Brody wouldve been awesome
I love Brody.
I thought Jimmy Pardo was the warm-up comic? Maybe not anymore since his profile has raised in recent years
i love he looks at Andy when he says “go through that charade, keep appearances up”
The Swedish-German Andy richter
"This guy knows what i mean"
Classic running joke that runs all the way back to the early 90's
I missed that
Yeah could someone explain the joke or at least some links
this is solid gold. Norm channeling Rodney would be funny on any show but no one but Conan could keep it going this perfectly
Norm was pure comedy gold. Loved his Rodney Dangerfield-style routine here. And the brilliance of the doctor saying about oral sex "I've seen it work"! Not sure Conan, Andy or the audience caught that one.
it's not even Dangerfield style, they're the exact Dangerfield jokes. more like a homage
Norm himself was brilliant, but also kudos to Conan for always elevating his guests, especially his comedic guests, with his reactions.
Its why hes one of the best late night hosts, he always let the good ones run with it. Glorious. Also a huge fan of the Craig Ferguson.
On his podcast following Norm's death, Conan said he often does this with guests, but when Norm comes on he's the one comedian that cracks him up so much that it's your best chance to see him genuinely losing it. RIP.
@@bmo1522 Do you pkay the mouth organ?
@@bmo1522 Conan sucked....hard! Having 10 fan boys and no career doesn't make him great. He has very limited appeal and unfortunately no one would waste their time watching his pathetic attempt at humor.
@@bmo1522 Jonathan Ross is also a good one for the British ones .
Rest in Peace Norm, you most definitely served a youthful porpoise.
Youthful porpoise, but yeah 😭😭😭😭😭
A youthful pig fish??
Purpose??
He totally was a youthful porpoise, highly accurate call.
Good one !!
Norm is the only person who can say "my wife's in a coma" and people will laugh
Ain't nobody gets to Conan and pulls out the genuine reactions like Norm Macdonald. What a powerhouse.
"Doc, she's choking" almost broke Conan totally, he didn't see it coming
Conans face the second oral sex is mentioned
Conan is trying so hard not to lose it during the setup and it’s fantastic
Of course he saw it coming, he was holding his laughter back even when he started the joke
Apparently neither did she...
@@GarrishChristopherRobin777 gross dude, why are you promoting that?
I used the "I used to be incomplete, now I'm finished!" line during my vows at my wedding a couple months ago. Norm will always be there to make me laugh somehow.
What does 'finished' mean in that joke bro!!
@@abufaya4155 It's another way of saying that you're fed up with something.
@@abufaya4155 it means you're done for
@@abufaya4155 incomplete means you’re missing something, finished means you’ve been completed, like a puzzle. But finished also can mean killed, or exhausted, ended, etc. “the movies finished” or “he finished off the other boxer with a single punch”. Hope that helps.
That’s awesome. I hope it got a good laugh!
The fact that he goes up and just legit does Dangerfields act from 40 years prior and destroys it just shows you how God damn good he was.
R.I.P to an absolute LEGEND.
I know he was never as financially successful as other comedians, nor did he get the wide spread recognition he deserved, but for me, he was and always will be the funniest man who ever lived #RIPNormy
He was definitely a comedic genius. A comedian's comedian. RIP.
So.. it is true :(
Going down a Norm rabbit hole tonight. Such an original. His dynamic with Conan was always some of my favorite stuff. Conan's shock and disbelief at Norm's long winded setups were the best. RIP to a true legend.
I can't stop crying for almost 6 hours!
RIP NORM
Word is bond
"That's modern medicine for you." One of his great post-punchline throwaways that takes a second to sink in and causes the laughter to re-convulse.
that and his "What a terrible name for an airline. It reminds me of that tragedy" line
I don't get it
@@bluecocacola I don't get your "I don't get it". What don't you get?
@@leobrussel9471 does modern medicine have any double entendre?
@@bluecocacola There is nothing inherently medicinal about the performance (as intended) of fellatio, modern or otherwise. That, to paraphrase Kramer's fake boss on Seinfeld when he fired Kramer, is what makes this so funny.
Ah I just love how Conan enters this straight man role with Norm, these two sure were great together. What a terrific style of comedy Norm Macdonald was delivering.
I only heard of Norm McDonald after he had passed away, not sure how I missed him, but I live in the UK so it`s likely he wasn`t so well known here, I`m not sure.
The things he comes out with are just gold, the pauses, the details you don`t need that are sometimes better than the punchline, the guy was amazing.
Just dawned on me watching this clip for the umpenth time, his voice sounds so like Al Bundy from Married With Children, what a show that was, pmsl.
"Until I met my wife I always felt incomplete, Now Im finished." That is so deep, I think Conans mind exploded right then.
Rodney Dangerfield
Conan genuinely loves norm
@M Exactly, the whole segment felt like a Dangerfield omage
Zsa Zsa Gabor wrote that line eons ago, hence Conan's comeback: "what is this a 1935 radio show?"
@M the whole routine.
He’s like a magician in the way he misdirects and makes you hold on to “cards” you forget you have and brings them all back around. It’s really remarkable.
An extra thumbs up for the Chesterton avatar.
Agreed
this is profound.
That's an excellent way to describe his comedy. Absolutely correct.
Try it yourself, it's how jokes work
The shift was absolutely flawless. I've been watching EVERYthing Norm has ever done for the past 24 hours... cannot stop. I don't know why it took me so long to binge this genius. I've always liked him. Didn't know I loved him. A complicated guy that had more to offer than most people thought.
I was much the same way two years ago. I had actually seen a lot of these live but it was a one time deal decades ago. Watching him again, and being able to watch him in video after video, made me really appreciate what an amazing comedian he was.
I am just discovering it all... "she was a hoookerrr!!!" Is my fave moment so far....
"People that like grapes" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
At 4:13 Conan literally starts shaking to hold in his laughter when he realizes what the punch line will be. This might be the best clip on CZcams.
I’m sure he heard the joke in rehearsal already.
@@dBro4769 Norm is one of the few that Conan allows to skip any rehearsal/pre-inteview questions.
That laugh has to be a combination of knowing the punch line and not believing that Norm is actually going to do this bit.
That absolutely ruins the joke if you have to rehearse it
@@GreatLakesLogger When he did the "moth joke" he didn't even know he was gonna be in for another segment, so he had to come up with something and try to drag it out. It's one of my favorites
“Before I met my wife I always felt incomplete.. Now, I’m finished.”
I tell all my older aunts, and uncles this joke at family dinners. It’s always an instant hit
Feels like a Rodney Dangerfield.
@@drcl7429 that's cause it is an old Dangerfield bit. That's why Conan cracks up and is like: "Norm is doing the oldest jokes wtf is going on" and giggles cause Norm knows it too.
Rodney danger field joke
@@SacredLiquid and they are mad at Carlos Mencia for 'stealing' jokes
@@credittrickscredithacks he's not stealing....he isn't presenting them as his own....
04:18 "...I said Doc she's choking!!!" 💀
“Before I met my wife I felt incomplete now I’m finished.” That’s most powerful ‘Dad joke’ I’ve ever heard in my entire life. RIP Norm you were truly one of the best Canadians this world has ever had.
I'm glad Andy appreciates the "that's modern medicine" tag, it almost slipped by the audience
I don't see how it's so funny to be honest, and I'm a Norm stan. Thought it was just a filler.
Is that a reference to something?
I don't think its a reference, its just a ridiculous thing to say in a casual way
Modern medicine is like being face fucked while unconscious
@@rudolfantler1732 so Bill Cosby practices modern medicine?
The coma joke might be the hardest, most genuine laugh I've seen out of Conan. He's definitely laughed louder, but the strain he's going through to not just erupt here is palpable. Literally watching this at work and I was doing the exact same thing.
If you haven't seen it, Nathan Fielder's Instagram story on Conan is on par with this one for joyous Conan laughs.
You could see the anticipation in Conan's face just before he delivered the punch line. It looked like he legitimately didn't know where the story was going but he knew it was gonna be good.
Oprah's rant by bill burr on conan is one of the classics
@@jayzenitram9621 I think the anticipation was more so a matter of "I know this joke, and I know the punchline, and I can't believe this son of a bitch is trying this..."
He laughed hard at norm’s chairman of the bored joke too
I can’t describe the joy that the first “ya dirty dog!” brings me 😂😂
"...you won't hear this from many 1935 comics" 😂😂😂
I imagine his wife as exactly him with longer hair. lol
Shadow Heart Same voice too.
you dirty dog!
"Woman..high voice"
That's funny!
His wife is black
with longer hair.
I said, "by god". PERFECT timing.
RIP Norm
Can’t believe I’ve only just discovered Norm Macdonald after 43 years on this planet 🤦♂️😩. ‘Wife in a coma’ is genius and has me in stitches every time! So sad he’s no longer with us as his humor and delivery was just amazing to me
Norm was that comedian that would keep quite, lay low, and all of a sudden come out with a new project. I was so looking forward to that. I would gladly rewatch his old material whilst waiting on a new show, stand up or an interview. Now, I can only rewatch his brilliant works and laugh. But seeing him so happy and funny on his last Conan appearance did bring a tear to my eye today...
Long winded story but I saw this video shortly after coming back from a bad trip to the hospital. I hadn't laughed in days and by the time this video ended i had tears in my eyes and couldn't control the giggles. Thank you Norm for everything. Rest in Peace.
Beautiful story🙏🏽❤
When he started the last joke, I knew what punch line was coming and I STILL LAUGHED HYSTERICALLY!😂
Oh Norm…my heart broke when I heard you were gone. You will be missed.
☹️😭
That's modern medicine for you..:)
Sixteen Leo!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you for sharing
Love how he looks at andy while talking about marrying to keep up appearances lol
drake felter lol
So lowkey
And Andy immediately agrees because he's a legend lol
Andy The Sweedish German Ole prospector
Yeah. That's because Andy is into gayporn.
this is so good, what I don't see in the comment section is people giving more credit to Conan for the way he sets Norm up for the jokes and also the way he reacts, the chemistry is real
*"Doc, she's choking"* 🤣😅😂
Andy's "Oh yeah" response to Norm's "... go through that charade, keep appearances up" is an underrated gem in this interview.
The way he glared at him lol
A Norman show with Andy as his sidekick would be good 🤣
@@Vamos82 oh boy
@@Vamos82 Boy, do I have some unfortunate news for you. I don't know if you're a history buff, but...
@@LindysRuffians context? Did they have a show together?
The best talk show guest of all time. No one will come near. RIP Norm.
Him, Don Rickles and Bill Burr. The holy trinity of talk show guests. RIP one of the funniest dude’s ever.
Alongside the best talk show hosts!
@@codyhooks7410 harmony korine also lol
Don Rickles, Johnathan Winters and Norm Macdonald are the top 3 for me.
I disagree. Don Rickles and Robin Williams were out of this world. They were and always remain unique. But to each their own. Rip Norm.
So real, authentic, and funny. His style of comedy and sense of humor is what makes him such a legendary comedian.
Doc, she's chokin'.
I almost fell out of my chair on that one. Conan's reaction makes it even better.
That 'Doc, she's choking." is literally the greatest joke I've ever heard.
Was the greatest joke* rip
That's modern medicine
@@marcogutierrez107 The joke lives on.
I thought Conan was going to fall out of his chair he was laughing so hard!! 🤣🤣🤣
What does that mean? Can someone explain??
This is a tribute to Rodney Dangerfield.
@@BenGearig I think the eye sight on is nearly verbatim of dangerfield
Have "thumbs up" #100!
The "I tell ya" hit the spot.
yep, im glad someone else realized
Yep they’re literally his jokes lmao
"That's modern medicine" is the punchline that kills me. 5 minutes for that, and worth it. Every time.
Doc, she’s choking! 😂
“Doc she’s choking” I lost it!!!!
Nice fockey!
Ha ha ha ha ha
Please explain thar joke whats chokin means :((
🤣
@@TheSwarmpride seriously?
3:54 the face he pulls after saying that you won't hear this from any 1935 comic
love that part
a master of the dramatic pause
Every facial movement he makes from that line until "doc, she's choking" is golden.
He could have talked about grapes for next 30 minutes if he had not been stopped🤣
Hahahaha this is true and made me laugh like crazy!!!!!
I have watched this clip more times than I care to admit: this was the perfect panel configuration
