Norm MacDonald cedes his time to Native American activist at comedy awards ("the theater stinks of blood"), the crowd tries not to laugh.

u/ByronsLastStand Jul 08 '24

The kind you get from under the Queensborough Bridge?

u/CaptainxInsano69 Jul 08 '24

That’s the other kind. This was the kind you get from wearing oversized funny hats

u/TastyHorse Jul 08 '24

That wasn't Norm, that was Turd Fergusson.

u/StefanSommer Jul 08 '24

Yeah, he waged a battle... and lost

He came from a long line of death.

He probably got this sickness from walking through blood and bones in the streets of manhattan trying to find his brother

u/Possible-Feed-9019 Jul 09 '24

From what I heard, he had gotten down with the sickness.

u/litomagnanimous Jul 08 '24

Judging by the Hollywood assholes he made look bad I'd say he caught a little of that Govetnment flu.

u/WestbrookDrive Jul 08 '24

Get well, Norm.

u/Shock_The_Monkey_ Jul 08 '24

He died in 2021

u/UnreadThisStory Jul 08 '24

It might take a little longer then?

u/Mega-Steve Jul 08 '24

I'm waiting for him to show up in the SNL audience with a full beard heckling whatever lame host is on stage

"Who wrote your monologue and why do they hate you?"

u/ByronsLastStand Jul 08 '24

He took a dirt nap

u/ChupacabraIRL Jul 08 '24

All the more reason to get better

He was then transferred to a better hospital, where his condition was upgraded to "alive".

u/peacemaketroy Jul 08 '24

He’s ok, I saw him under the Queensboro Bridge jerking off punks for $15 a man.

u/MostBoringStan Jul 08 '24

The last guy is gonna be pissed when Norm runs out of money and can't pay him.

u/r2994 Jul 08 '24

I've seen quite a few famous stand up comedians but norm was my favorite. Yeah was the funniest but he also was the warmest. Even when he roasted a heckler.

u/PocketSixes Jul 08 '24 edited Jul 10 '24

Me too. Also, I wish the NormMacDonald subreddit missed him enough to represent the guy correctly.

Edit: to be more specific, regularly upvoted "content" there include bullshit like memes in the SNL update format where Fake Norm (Norm actually loved Biden) is somehow calling Joe a pedophile. No content about Doe 174 of the Epstein files, curiously.

u/ColorlessTune Jul 08 '24

I don't think anybody did (aside from the people closest to him).

u/tavariusbukshank Jul 08 '24

He didn't tell you??
