The crummy punchline makes it better.

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

My life goal is to tell this joke in front of others and have someone appreciate it…

The pauses actually make you visualize the classmate's uncomfortable demeanor while Johnny tells the story lol. Brilliant!

Stay away from Terry when he's uncorked the jug 😂

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

This man's ability to hold someone's attention is/was astounding. Rip Norm.

It’s not the destination… it’s the journey! RIP NORM. YOU ARE THE GREATEST!

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

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 😢.

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

2:40 Howard's expression of being slowly tortured at this timestamp is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

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

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.

Miss Norm, certainly one of a kind.

On behalf of every single one of your fans, we still miss you Norm and we will be watching your many genius comedy clips and standup specials until the end of time, sir.

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

He was so good

I've listened to this joke over and over but this is the first time I got to WATCH Norm tell the joke! Thank you, Howard. My life is now complete.

That aw shucks, ambling, laconic way Norm tells his tale (weaves his masterpiece) is black belt comedian. WØW! Special guy. 👌 R.I.P. ❣

Thank God for the hatchery.

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

“The mud and the blood and the guts”
