His deadpan monotone delivery. His ascerbic wit, constant roasting. Steady & intimidating And he never broke or laughed (that I’ve ever seen). A bit of a writing & comedic performance genius in my opinion.
I didn’t really know much about him until fairly recently, I remembered when he died and everyone on Reddit was mourning him and I had never really heard of him, but lately I’ve been binge-watching Norm Macdonald clips on YouTube and oh my gosh I’m captivated by him.
kind of similar sense of deadpan captivating humor as Nathan Fielder who I also just recently became aware of and I’m also currently mesmerized by.
Try this compilation okay he’s not absolutely the best comedian to ever grace the planet, and some patience is required to hang on to listening to him until he builds up to the joke, but I just like his personality he is so calm and deadpan, I don’t know why I’m making a post about him but blah blah blah
It’s really hard to explain, because really, he’s not that funny, but I find that hilarious!
Like the moth story, or Uncle Frank in 'Nam, he just creates this awkward tension where you know your listening to a joke, but this guy is saying just such depressing or horrific shit while keeping a slightly goofy tone. You expect a punchline around every corner, but he just keeps dragging you in, and you’re wondering how this terrible story is going to be funny, and he hits you with a mediocre punchline that any third grader could have seen coming a mile away, but he’s built so much tension and sucked you into this story and you couldn’t see what was right in front of you the whole time.
He’s not telling a joke, he’s playing a joke on YOU. That could be part of why people either love him or hate him. As long as there’s no harm, I’ll be the first to laugh at a joke played on me, but I know there are others that don’t appreciate that at all.
I honestly don’t remember anything that he did that was funny.

I don’t know. I watched him on SNL and it never did much for me.

Maybe I’ll have another look. I just found him not memorable on SNL but that’s not always the best way someone can display their talents.
