theSnake      That was the funniest thing I've seen in a long while. HBO needs to give Norm his own show so its not focus grouped to death.
|
themilkshark      Holy shit, he deconstructed the roast!
|
Merkwuerdigeliebe      They understand nothing.
|
Hooker      Norm best.
|
dr_rock      I love this man. This is absolutely brilliant.

IrishWhiskey      How to redeem a Bob Saget roast into something funny and worthwhile.
|
Tuan Jim      Wow, that was great. I never laughed so hard at shitty jokes before.
|
CornOnTheCabre      I may be getting into DOING IT WRONG territory here but... It really seems IMPOSSIBLE for Norm Macdonald to bomb. I don't know how he did it, but his delivery is so hardcoded into my brain that he could basically go onstage for 45 minutes and say anything at all with a lilt to his voice every once in awhile, and I'd still probably be laughing my ass off.
|
simon666      Fucking brilliant. You know it's good when he has all of his peers busting their seams.
|
GravidWithHate      It never fails to amaze me how anyone can make being deliberately not funny, so funny.
|
Keefu      It was sort of sweet when Sagat was getting all weepy at the end there.
|
|
|
hornung      a great comedian like macdonald can do this, a shitty one is just neil hamburger.
god, i hate hamburger.
|
|
|
|
thekidinthehelmet      Im amazed at how not funny that was and how much I laughed, great job Norm.
|
KnowFuture      When Gilbert laughs it means it's OK for everybody else to.
|
Aoi      There is not enough Norm Macdonald on television.
|
TheOtherCapnS      I wonder if those weren't jokes from previous friars club roasts. I can see Marty Pickles delivering all those. Fucking love Norm.
|
Enjoy I think that's exactly the bit.
|
MagickPoultry      Ladies and gentlemen, this man is for the birds!
|
Maggot Brain      It's like watching a bonfire.
|
Dib      It took them until the third joke to get it.
|
Syd Midnight Jeffery Ross gets it precisely after the third joke
|
dementomstie      "it seems a little harsh but they want to murder you in a well, it says so on this card"
absolutely brilliant
|
Jeff Fries      He made them all looks like fags
|
Rodents of Unusual Size      CAULIFLOWER.
|
anotherdeadhero      Finally a norm clip to redeem to pokemon skit.
|
|
gambol      gentlemen pay no heed
|
lolcoolj      They would like to murder you...in a well.
|
Fecund      we need the snl monologue he gave after being fired
|
Fecund ok we had it but it's gone now. 8(

minimalist      5 million stars for Baffled Guy behind Jon Lovitz from 2:28 to 2:41. Who is that anyway?
5 million more for Norm.
|
|
Xenocide He seems like he's taking everything literally. "My...my God! These people are all planning to kill Bob Saget! Okay, breathe slow, stay calm."
|
Honest Abe that's jim norton. he's horrible. it figures he'd not get it
|
Turrican      Jim Norton, just sitting there, not getting it.
|
NoCode      Norm will never not be funny.
|
raeshaldis Throughout the whole thing he was reading the newspaper and generally looking confused when someone would make an offensive joke. Fucking brilliant.
"I wanted to see something funny, so I was reading Marmaduke."
|
Enjoy      I love the confused guy behind Lovitz.
|
Xenocide      McDonald has once and for all proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it's all in the delivery.
|
waxeater      Confused guy behind Lovitz is Ope and Anthony nuthugger Jim Norton. And that should explain why he doesn't think any of this is funny.
|
athodyd      "Apparently they want to murder you in a well. It says so on this card."
|
|
Johnny Roastbeef      Norm MacDonald is without a doubt my all time favorite comedian.
|
Honest Abe      goddamn he's the man
|
Gunny McRifleson      I'd like to think that (in addition to obviously trying to bomb) he's spoofing Saget's "Aw shucks" squeaky clean standup bits he used to do on America's Funniest Home Videos.
|
Rafiki Goddamn, they took it down already. Luckily there was another link up (which will probably be taken down in 12 seconds).
|
Camonk      Wait, this is Norm McDonald? Are you sure? Cause this is funny. Norm McDonald's bits boil down to him saying cock in a monotone. But this is hilarious. What happened?
|
CharlesSmith You didn't pay any attention to Norm Macdonald up until this point is obviously what happened.
|
Dib Video can be found here http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2106718891692591913&ei=kN CrSOCbJ4TSrALggbXhCw&q=norm+macdonald+bob+saget+roast&vt=lf
|
Secret Messiah      I'd like to think he was pointing out the fact that the other comedians and audience at these roasts will generally laugh at any stupid unfunny joke (Lisa Lampanelli, Sarah Silverman, 99% of the other comics) as long as there's a person with a mic up there saying something.
|
Syd Midnight He knew he couldn't upstage Gottfried, so he went lateral for the win. What a beautiful troll.
|
Jimmy Labatt      Fucking awesome
|
ChocFullOfFunk      I cannot fucking believe this. The sad part is that he can only do this once in his career.
|
|
Honest Abe good work dopefiend. you baby murderer
|
Red Squirrel      "I just wanted to say that, 'kay?"
It was great seeing some people crack up in the audience, and others with confused half-grins.
|
Harold Manchester      Every time I watch this, it feels like something magical overrides the part of my brain that makes me want to go into a full body cringe and turn off the video. The birds and the cauliflower joke still leave me in tears.
|
Mayberry Pancakes It really is great to watch the contrast between those who Get It and those who don't. The cauliflower thing was amazing.
|
Oldmacho      A million stars for dog face.
|
Random      Jeez, I must have seen this whole roast except this part. God, I love Norm Macdonald so much. And as soon as someone said "comedian that didn't get it" I thought "Oh, it must be some worthless douchebag hack like Nick Dipaolo or Jim Norton."
|
Old_Zircon      Saget gets it. Lovitz seems confused throughout.
|
kingofthenothing      I would steal his joke about the gentlemen and scoundrel door, but among my friends, I am the scoundrel.
|
j lzrd / swift idiot      The term "perfect storm of awesome" gets thrown around a lot, but, well...
|
Riskbreaker     Wait, why the hell did Bob Saget had a roast?
|
Syd Midnight He used to be a pure shock comedian, he's super filthy, but he somehow got a job as a family entertainer. It's like if Jackie the Jokeman got a job on Sesame Street. All day long he's just dying to say "cocksucker".
|
|
Erix      It's official: meta-humor is the new humor.
|
Caminante Nocturno      Rock on, Norm.
|
joelkazoo      Norm is my God.
|
Valvados      How have I not faved this yet?
