OT: R.I.P., Norm Macdonald

Holy shit. This came out of nowhere. 61 years old, secretly dealt with cancer for nine years. R.I.P. to one of the all-time greats. Norm MacDonald was absolutely hysterical.

Damn, his one movie “DIRTY WORK” was such a disaster but some o the scenes in it were so funny I’d watch it over and over again.

He was a guy who was never afraid to tell a joke no matter who it offended.

Legend...that about sums it up. Even just simple appearances on shows were hilarious, like when he was on Dennis Miller's old show.

Google "Hiltler's dog." One of the funniest standup bits I've ever heard.

Really haven’t watched SNL for many years so don’t even know who’s anchoring now - but Norm was one of the best Weekend Update anchors ever

Loved his Weekend Update on SNL. Especially during the OJ trial. “Well, it is finally official: Murder is legal in the state of California.”

He was pretty funny but underused on the Orville as well.

Weird - I thought of Norm pretty randomly this morning, before I heard he died, when I went to CVS and got one of their extra long receipts.
Thought of a typically silly joke I heard him tell:

“If you don’t like those long CVS receipts, you’re gonna hate books!”

Sad news, I was a big fan of his offbeat, cutting, dry humor, he was one of the high points in the history of SNL!

Wow - didn't see that one coming - I had not heard about it till this thread - my first thought was the maybe hard-living had caught w/ him but a previous post mentioned cancer.

He was def controversial and seemed it affected his career fairly-significantly b/c he seemed unwilling to compromise w/ the corporate-powers-to-be - but yeah; he def was a unique-talent and uniquely-funny and I agree he was a great SNL anchorman w/ his special straight-faced delivery no-matter how outrageous/potentially-offensive the statement he was making.

Goddamn he was good. I've been down the you tube rabbit hole for hours. The jokes, the delivery, the bravery to go after anyone. First time I've been bummed about a celeb death since Robin Williams.

RIP Norm. This hit me out of left field - like most of us.

He was hilarious - and his humor hit me as especially funny.

When I heard of his passing - I searched for one of his bits from the Bob Saget roast. He bombed - and it kept getting worse - and he stuck with it - and it’s got more and more hilarious.

I just watched Dirty Work again in his honor. Norm's the best but on another note that Traylor Howard girl from the movie. She is an all time hottie damn.

@thee - Been watching a bunch of these every day, hadn't seen this compilation yet.

"...which just goes to show you, Madonna's a whore", said with a straight face, made me choke on my whiskey.
