His whole career had a kind of jazz cadence, he never pandered, just explored, prodded and played with the freeform spirit of a hobo artist, he could be funny in so many types of way, from short acerbic direct one liners to 5 minute rambles. He was the funniest man alive and him not being alive anymore is still such a gut punch.

Apparently, Conan asked to have him for a second segment that night without Norm's knowledge. When Norm found out that he had to fill another 7 minutes ON THE FLY, the Moth Joke is what he came up with. He drew it out to fill the time. All of that was improvised. What a genius. My favourite comedian, I loved that twinkle in his eye whenever he knew he was doing something "wrong". Mischievous scoundrel. I am not afraid to admit that I have cried several times, and yes, I do own a doghouse, so lay off. His only sin was dying so young. I will always remember him as a real jerk for doing that.

I read in Chaplin's autobiography that he thought when people become down or depressed, they either turn to comedy or philosophy for relief. Norm had this absurdly blunt,deceptively naeive persona with this otherworldy mind and take on things. The first standup joke I ever remember is his bit about how he's never looked young for his age. The only time he did was when he was a 1 year old. People would come up and say, "You look great! What are you, zero?" and I'd say "oh no I'm one over here". Its a weird one sharing this because one a small few of my friends really 'get' Norm living in the UK, but he's had such a huge influence on how look at things, (I couldn't count all the times I've repeated and butchered his jokes to my friends) so its really warming to see the impact and affection being shared on here.

But in the second interview, he said: “Remember in the last interview I said Don Ohlmeyer was a good guy, and you kept saying he was an idiot and a pinhead? Turns out you were right.” That was after he found out that Ohlmeyer wasn’t going to let him out of his contract with NBC. Ohlmeyer was trying to wreck Norm’s career by not letting him work, and Letterman had him on often during that time so he could get on TV in front of a national audience.

"Chairman of the B-O-R-E-D" is probably one of the best comebacks I've heard in a talk show, even though it's so incredibly dumb. But that's what makes it so good.

I will truly miss this guy....RIP LEGEND

Norm is a comical genius. Thank you Norm for always making me laugh.🙏

Rest in peace to an absolute legend ❤

His willingness to cross lines, and delivery is what kept him on his own pedestal. RIP Norm

Well done Norm, well done!

Nobody is including his appearance on the Dennis Miller Show when he talked about quitting smoking and the subliminal camel. Hilarious.

His kind only comes once. We all should be grateful to be witnesses to see how wonderful he truly was. RIP Norm. Thank you for all the laughs.

Ive been obsessed with the show Mike Tyson's Mysteries and his character Richard (aka Pigeon) was absolutely hilarious

I'm so happy that there is s timeline in which Norm Macdonald was a pigeon

Letting Norm talk for himself is something that should be done with all your lists. No more showing part, talking over it and re-showing the same bits you talked over. This was the best list ever!

What an amazing beautiful man....I absolutely adored him on SNL. Each time I watched him I was always rolling on the floor. Thank you for letting him speak for himself.

He was pretty funny in Klaus. “Is the weather always like this?"❄️ “Eh, we're having a bit of a heat wave."

He was talking about filming a cameo for a new Adam Sandler flick, so unless he’s already did that, Krause was his final film role.

Canada has gifted the rest of the world with some of the best actors the board. Comedians, inventors, hockey players, musicians, actors and actresses, this one KZread channel we all know and love, we owe Canada a debt of gratitude for making amazing people. Thank you and love from America. Norm was the best.

Keanu Reeves is a national treasure.

at number 3 you can see just how much of a caring guy Norm was in the way you see him tearing up at the end of the letterman show

Norm as Burt Reynolds , never gets old . 😂 Comedy gold ! So many great memories , Norm left us with . Thanks , Normy .😘

This could have been a top 50 Norm moments and I'd still laugh at every one. RIP Norm

I think it's amazing that you guys let this speak for itself. Very and truly a great send off. We'll miss you, Norm...

His movie Dirty Work is still one of my all time favorites. Underrated movie for sure. RIP Norm .

I’d never seen his Letterman impersonation before. Absolutely spot on. RIP Norm.

Still can’t believe it. He was a very great actor and comedian. R.I.P. Norm MacDonald (October 17th,1959- September 14th,2021) Thank you for the laughs. Praying for his family and friends.

I can’t believe it either.

My brother and I couldnt stand to be around each other for the first 15yrs of my life. We started bonding over Norm's content, with him drawing inspiration from Norm and me being a practice audience before he went to open mic's. We may not have Norm now but we will always have the memories. R.I.P.

When Norm said I love you to Letterman, that was as real as it gets. He felt more deeply than most.

I love Norm like a father loves his son. Literally heart broken we lost him

" Murder is now legal in the state of California " - Norm.MacDonald the Saturday after the OJ verdict.

Norm can mumble for a second, and make an audience laugh their ass off. 😂 I haven't gone a day in idk how long, where I haven't watched at least one clip of Norm. My best friend growing up, and my favorite comedian died all within a week. This month reminds me of that national tragedy we had.

They say legends never die because they're remembered by the ones left behind. Lest We Forget Norm McDonald. Rest easy legend.

Thank you for honoring his memory with this video and donation.

The great thing about the Moth Joke is that he did it on freaking TV. You know, where everything is fast and economic. I'm pretty sure Conan was amazed by the waste of expensive af airtime he took. That's being a true rebel at heart.

I've heard him say "Because the light was on." Probably 50 times in the last day or so on top of the many many times I'd seen it before, and it still gets a laugh every time.

Love how this is uninterrupted 😭 will always be one of my favorite comedians

I just watched another channel's tribute piece to Norm, and this one qued as next up. To tell you the genius of NM, the #1 clip starts here, with the moth joke...I've seen it dozens of times, just watched it fifteen minutes ago, and I watched it again, now. RIP, Norm.

Editing a Norm joke is a crime. The meandering, the slow delivery, taking 3 minutes to tell a 3 line joke is the joke. You even cut the SNL host joke actual punchline.

His appearance on The View could have been on this list. But other than that, this was a great tribute for Norm McDonald. RIP.

Rest easy, Norm. You were, and always will be, one of our greatest comedy masters.

Norms comedic genius is unparalleled. He brought more joy and laughter to this world than anyone else that comes to mind. He was my favorite, I've seen every one of these bits, there are so many more good ones. I'm so sad he's gone. Rest in peace you legend above the rest.

The thing I loved most about him, he would tell jokes at a roast for example, the crowd would be quiet but the people on stage would be dying. He was funny by not being funny in a funny way. Or like the Moth story, Conan was laughing the whole time, then was laughing so hard after the punch line. RIP

I always refer to him as a, "Comedian's comedian". It always felt like the ones who found him the funniest were fellow performers. When he opted for a barrage of corny Dad jokes at the roast of Bob Saget was when I started catching on.
