Someone asked Norm if he was the class clown in school. He said "no...I couldn't afford the shoes."

I think this is the best joke ive ever heard honestly. Everything norm said set up the rest of the joke. It was long and amazing. It also helped that Robin, Fred, Howard, and yes even Benji responded to the joke perfectly

God no one can tell a story like Norm. Even if it goes nowhere his delivery a lone will make you laugh. Man I miss him so much 😢.

thanks Howard stern show staff for posting this clip, probably one of norm's best moments and now it's being enjoyed by hundreds of thousands

You look at Howard's eyes while Norms talking and they are lit up enjoying every second of Norm telling this joke.

Whenever Norm told a story, I felt as if I was sitting next to him on the porch. Relaxed, captivated, and knowing...just knowing that I was destined to be howling with laughter in a short time. Or, more likely, in a longer time.

Stern being quiet for 7 minutes is a miracle!!!!

I would have paid lot of money to hear Norm tell a 3 hour version of this. And I’m sure he could have done it, too.

I could have listen to that same joke unfolding for at least 30 minutes more without being disappointed. Storytelling is an art that Norm had perfected.

F*cking pure genius. God Bless Norm. Proof of divinity.

Terry could have caught up with his battalion But the land was uneven

I love how they respectfully and lovingly hang on every word of such a nonsensical but genius bit.

Man, I miss Norm. He told that same joke on the podcast with Stephen Merchant as guest and it was even better than this. The punch line was more honed ”When uncle Terry’s been drinking, you don’t f*ck with him!”.

Love norm. Especially on Howard. Only he could make this funny in the way that he did.

Pure and absolute genius. One in a billion gifts.

Good God. The change in demeanor once Dirty Johnny takes over the story.

Part of the genius of this joke is there are so many small details in the story, theirs nothing that gives away what the punchline will be

I was in tears crying at the end. Norm was a legend. We lost him too soon.

Norm was a national TREASURE!!!! Thanks, Stern Show.
