    Norm Macdonald on battles with cancer: “I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”
    What a legend
    RIP, Norm

      This is comedy in its purest form. Highlighting reality with jokes and let the world pick up whatever's left and do whatever tf they want with it. Jerry looks concerned in a couple shots there, and I don't think it's because of the jokes but because this was a secret in Hollywood at the time and Norm wanted to air it all out. Nobody wanted to play ball with him so nothing but jokes was left of it all back then. Cosby's sentencing and handling of the case is still a fucking joke, just no one laughing at the punchline anymore

      Anyone can be honest. Norm is skilled at dancing near that line between appropriate and inappropriate, oftentimes distracting you with your own discomfort so you don't see the real punchline coming.
      Also he layers cleverness and nuance in with "dumb" jokes, and then whether you get all of it or not he still amuses himself.

You don’t think the worse part, and the most important part is…” and then you have someone shouting in the background “it’s the raping Jerry, the raping”

      Norm was on the side of how bad rape is. It just goes to show you that you can't judge offensiveness by what topic is brought up, you can only judge offensiveness by what attitude is taken to the topic. (Some jokes are both funny and offensive, but in this case Norm wasn't being offensive.)

    It's hard to make Seinfeld laugh. He says comedy is work for him. So when he watches a fellow comedian, he's basically working by analyzing the jokes, so he hardly laughs.
