And then Jim rushed him out to get some UFC faggot on. Fucking worm

This incident makes me glad that Jim will never make it.

jim norton is the only person i know of where his physical appearance totally matches his personality

i want him to feel unbearable and inescapable pain for the rest of his life

In previous meetings outside the show Jim probably tried to engage Norm in some pretentious discussion about the mundane details of the comedy trade, the ins & outs of life as a comic that civilians could never really relate to but figured out quick Norm wasn't feeling it.

When Norm did his legendary roast, Norton looked irritated & confused anytime the camera panned to him. Later when Jim was on O&A discussing how the roast went, he said nothing made him laugh harder than Norm's set, yet when Norm was finally in the studio, Worm said nothing to Norm other than "They're telling us you have to leave so I can feel up a wrestler."

Wormton's a phony ass n word.

Good point, Jimmy is probably doing the obligatory Norm MacDonald 'is the greatest' thing all comics seem to be required to say these days, even though I think Norm is one of the best I don't think Jimmy does. It's been obvious that Jimmy doesn't have broad taste & Norms humor can be subtle & at face value sometimes can seem silly but is layered in nuance & It might be over Jimmys head like a lot of other great art (music, movies & books)

Who WOULDN'T wanna watch Henry Fonda pick blueberries?

How do you write a car crash sound for that awful "wormton"

"Yeah, that's great Jimmy. Hey! You know what else is great? Crack whores!"

"I like punch. I like kick."

"Could you put me in a hold?"

"It's nothing sexual, I swear."

"dont mind the hard on" he said that right?

I like Jim a lot and think the sub's turn against him is baseless hate.

I still wanted to throw a brick at his head when he did this.

Fuck you fuck face.

Nothing here is ever baseless.

I don't even think this has anything to do with Jim having any hostile feelings toward Norm. I think he was too afraid of having to handle if a ball buster like Norm pissed off a big shoot fighter like Brock.

its only cause he wanted to get hurt cut him some slack. Fucking BDSM worm.

I always assumed Jim subconsciously did this because he resented Norm's comeback line that got bigger laughs than Jim's "Henry Fonda picking blueberries" joke at the Bob Saget roast.

He mistakenly put Norm on the spot, something that works for Jimmy to embarrass the typical half-wits who challenge him on O&A. For Norm though, being put on the spot is just asking for him to comedy bitch slap you.

overconsciously, he really is resentful creep

What was the comeback line?

Jimmy said Norm's set was like watching Henry Fonda pick Blueberries. Norm said there wasn't one person in the room who wouldn't want to watch that.

that's absolutely it.

Norms podcast was amazing. Search for the joke compilation, it's amazing.

His guests always understand how to play off of him

Worse: Ant & CQ carried the interview, Opie and Jim did nothing to make him feel welcome.

It's the way it should have been tbh. I cant stand serious interviewer norton. Anthony is the only one of the 3 who is still semi funny when a guest comes around.

Tolstoy's an overrated hack. He ripped off Turgenev constantly.

So I guess Hemingway ripped off Twain, and David Foster Wallace ripped off Pynchon, and Nabokov ripped off Tolstoy. Every writer builds from the authors they like. Saying Tolstoy ripped off somebody is saying that every author has ripped off everybody.

I know, I was joking.

OK. That was an odd thing to joke about haha

I guess it was more of a self-effacing joke about this subreddit, using Russian literature as a subtext.

Norm was so happy to be there when be arrived, mentioned being a fan. Then 15 minutes later, gone.

pretty much every interview norm does is gold, with such condensed comedy O&A had to keep his total airtime to 15 minutes or the audience might literally laugh their asses off, leading to FCC fines. just my theory on this.

Opie barely said a word. At least he knew his place back then.

Funny timing, right when artie was going into rehab.

You can't blame Jimmy for not being prepared for Norm's interview, he was getting ready to interview Brock Lesnar right afterwards.
