If you like the parts of Norm's show where they just shoot the poo poo and talk shop about comics and comedy, this is a really good choice for that kind of thing, they talk a lot about people's careers and swap stories, gossip, and Milton Berle's Giant Cock anecdotes.

Just saw Norm in Canada last night. He pulled his shirt over his belly and showed the audience his gut. A man on the guitar opened for him, executed his 'real jerk' joke amateurishly, then sang a song about the human centipede followed by a very licentious song about Regina, Saskatchawan followed by a song about divorce and masturbation (also pun laden). I'm still not sure if Norm was pulling a joke on the audience or not, as many stupid loving Canadians were utterly delighted. Norm killed as always. rest his guts fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Sep 13, 2015 |

Jokes about 'the city that rhymes with fun' never get old but maybe that's just because I've never been there. Or I'm a dumb Canadian. No wait, I'm definitely a dumb Canadian.

Anyone else catch Norm's quasi-breakdown on Twitter a day or two ago? He seems to have deleted it but it was a long rant about getting outside, not doing drugs, just kind of this rant about lucidity you'd expect from an addict who's seen the light. Ended with a bit about quitting technology for a week, but with baseball on, obviously that didn't last. Might have been drunk Norm or trolling Norm, but it sounded like headed-to-rehab Norm.

I wish someone would do a twitter account called "NormMinusSports" that just copies and tweets all his non-sports related stuff.

Weird that he always insists he doesn't drink much and doesn't do any drugs.

Yeah you actually would be hard pressed to find a bigger Norm fan than me and even I don't follow him because it's all sports stuff, maybe a good story every two weeks but like 95% golf or football commentary that I don't understand at all.

Same, but I follow relatively few people that it's easy to scroll past things I'm sure the announcers have already clued viewers into anyway. There was even a Tom Arnold response tweet in there about rehab and offering Norm a hug, but mostly offended stoners decrying Norm for lumping their 'medicine' in with drugs. Maybe it blew over.

A lot of comedians consider Norm as a maniac in life but never went into it. Knowing he's a gambling addict, it wouldn't surprise me he's an addict to other stuff too. One of his best friends for a long time was Artie Lang after all.

toggle posted:He did look a bit worn out on the podcast a few times. I was genuinely concerned when I watched the last golf-cast thing, he was super late and when he showed up he looked like such a loving mess. He wasn't making any jokes, he was really serious; kind of a different person. They never put it up after it aired, which doesn't surprise me.

Didn't he have an embolism or a stroke or something around the time the podcast started? RE: drug talk, the thing going around for ages is that he has issues with prescription medication (anti-anxiety meds), not recreational drugs.

No, that's just Roseanne. I feel like this is some huge joke on me. Norm is my favorite comic and he's obsessed with this painfully unfunny comedienne from like twenty years ago. I didn't like her show, I've never heard her say anything funny, and she's painfully obsessed with her ex and the drama surrounding him. I tried desperately to force down some episodes of Last Comic Standing that they judged for, and I swear to gently caress it's like someone's messing with me. Roseanne's contribution for one act is pointing and yelling, "ALTERNATIVE COMICCCCC" while the audience explodes into laughing and applause. Then Norm's insightful commentary is met with silence and light claps.

Advice posted:No, that's just Roseanne. Eh, I enjoyed most of her interview. She's weird as hell. Her show was pretty revolutionary at the time and so was her stand up persona. I think her best work is behind her but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy Norm shooting the poo poo with her. And Last Comic Standing was just poo poo all around.

Yeah, Rosanne's show was revolutionary during its time. It's a comedy that took out the constant jokes so that they could hit harder on the jokes and points they wanted to make while also talking more like real people. The situation of the Conner family was not one that was intrinsically funny. They were poor, fat people living in a lovely house and they made it funny and realistic. I think the show is just okay now, but it's always nice to see a piece of media that doesn't treat me like an idiot.

Norm is loyal to Roseanne because she gave him his first big break in the biz Also he and Jeselnik were the singular positive aspects of LCS, and they frequently reported on why it was terrible on twitter lol

Roseanne, the person and the show, were funny. She was a good comedian. No need for a Dane backlash on her. She was legit.

I always thought the stuff about norm being nuts referred to his weird personality, hermit-like tendencies and his gambling issues. He talked about literally trying to lose all his money gambling on WTF. As for drugs I always figured he's benzo'd the gently caress out a lot. On that same WTF he talked about bouts of mania where he can't stop laughing until he pops a Xanax.

Xanax are extremely powerful and addicting drugs. I hope to god he also doesn't drink.

Rosanne owns, she went batshit crazy and got unfunny, but I think that happens to every comic when they go super star prime time comedy. She owned TV for awhile, that much cultural power always seems to make people nutty.
