One of my many favorite Norm jokes: In Falls City, Nebraska, John Lotter has been sentenced to death for attempting to kill three people in what prosecutors called a plot to silence a cross-dressing female who had accused him of rape. Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story deserved to die.

Thanks for this. I've always been a fan of Kevin Nealon's stint. Harder to find those.

I saw Kevin and Norm live together a few months back. Norm was super trashed. Took off his shirt. It was a fucking great show.

howard sure knows how to pick his guysss

I love Norm, but there are writers writing some or most of these jokes. The names of two of those writers?... Justin and Eric Stangel.

Maybe you prefer your jokes Chevy Chase style, or maybe you like Jane "you ignorant slut" Curtin and Dan Aykroyd the best. Maybe your tastes are closer to Dennis Miller or Norm MacDonald, or maybe you prefer the snappy chemistry of Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon.

I guess nobody prefers Colin.

If that was the stupid stangels writing that, then they deserve some sort of credit cause a lot of those were fucking hilarious

the content is 10% of the joke. the other 90% is Norms delivery.

It was Saturday Night Live, of course there's a writing staff. Norm talks about how they had a fax machine and would use jokes random people sent in.
