I'm a "professor of logic" (although that's not my actual title - I teach an intro to logic course to philosophy undergrads) and I show this video to my class to illustrate the fallacy of *_denying the antecedent_* (that's the "mistake" Norm makes at the end of the clip). He manages to make it funnier than any other example I've found. For those interested, the fallacy of denying the antecedent takes the form: If P, then Q.

So explain to the folks at Norm's joke what logic is...

The genius is that the audience logically deduces the outcome of the joke through a logical presentation of an illogical deduction.

I would have loved to have been able to see him perform in person in his prime, or honestly just at any point at all through his career. A real comic that stayed true to the art form and did it unapologetically.

The way Andy laughs when Norm says the dialogue 'Come by and have some chicken with me sometimes' always brings me back to this video. A true entertainer till the end.

It's ok. If you trace your mouse over the progress bar, you can watch Norm get whiplash.

What a pleasant funny guy, he will be greatly missed 😢

I never even knew he was sick. One of the best of all time , at least makes the top 5.

Fuck. Really hoped he’d come back at some point. This is so devastating

My theory about Norm is that he’s such a master of comedy that he tries to see if he can make people laugh with corny jokes just to keep himself sharp

Its the details that make it. When he says "University of S-Science", its so deliberate to make thr university name funny. It works so good

I love this joke, it was brilliant comedian and will be greatly missed.

The genius here is that he actually bothers to complete the badly told joke right to the end despite the punchline being obvious minutes earlier and without improving his telling of the joke at any point throughout. Genius.

Really sad Norm is gone. He was one of the best ever. RIP

I love this guy. RIP Norm, still cracking me up from beyond

"Has cats" is often shorthand for feminist/lesbian these days.

I've actually been studying logic recently and came across the term "syllogism", and immediately thought of this bit. Anyway to cut a long story short I don't own a dog house.

norm is a master. i like how even though the crowd is already laughing because they know where the joke is headed, he still gets ya with the delivery.

This joke is so long and absolutely amazing that every tie I watch it I forget the punchline and it kicks like it's the first time watching it

I've always subscribed to the idea that the longer the set-up the funnier the punchline.
