>the biggest entry-level non-mainstream comedian with a massive untimely death stat bonus
>contrarian midwits loves him because they think they're the only ones who have discovered his conan o brien youtube videos
can we finally admit that he's a bit overrated?

people talked about him literally all the time in the comedic circle.
His OJ Bits on WU were getting traction on youtube before he died as well.

His last stand up set before he died, the one in Columbus Ohio, is legit 10/10.

Only overrated among faggots online. Normal people mistake him for the cat on Sabrina if they recognize him at all.

lmao I met Nick Swardson tonight after his show in tampa and mentioned this episode of Norm's podcast to him, and he laughed and asked if that was the one with 9/11 airlines.

One of the best episodes which surprised me cause I only knew swardson from his special "seriously who farted?" so I assumed he was a retard. Anyway norm is actually underrated because to most people he's just le moth joke guy

dirty work is one of the worst films ever made, even brad grey admitted it was shit and he is the fucking jew that funded it

Funny, not funny, doesn't matter. He was unique which is the most important thing to stand out in a sea of comedians talking about their snoozefest of a life and their "zany" friends.

maybe you're not big into the comedy scene? I knew him as an snl guy growing up who got kicked off for being edgy and then around 2015 my buddy was into his book and then his show and so I watched it and ever since I saw his show I've known he is one of the funniest people in any kind of media

Total volcel. Listening to him talk about sex made me convinced he couldn't be bothered with the overall effort required however I'm also quite confident that he hired prostitutes relatively regularly, despite what he says.

he has a son. He was probably just heart broken, lots of middle aged men lose interest after their dream woman leaves them. My dad is the same, zero interest in women since my mother cheated on him

Norm was with that Australian model Elle McPherson for a time so he could get women. If you read his book he was, and don't laugh at this next part, routinely raped as a boy by a friend of his dad so I think there was some truth to the deeply closeted homosexual bit

I don’t think he’s overrated. He’s pretty fairly rated. He had a unique “voice” that would be hard to copy without it being obvious you’re doing Norm Macdonald. Same way Dave Attell has tons of people doing him and Patrice has a bunch of people doing him. And that’s just two examples. Good comedians are the ones who cultivate a “voice” that’s unique and successful/funny. He’s not the best there was or ever will be, but he was good.

I grew up watching him as a side character in the Drew Carey show and that's it. I remember back then that no one really paid attention to him mainstream and non of my friends barely knew who he was.

I get the impression that the narrative that he was a great comedy genius is a belief that zoomers constructed when they saw some clips on youtube post mortem

I unironically know him thanks to 4chan ut way before he died, like many years ago. I think lots pf people posted weekend update and NML webms in YLYL threads in /wsg/. Specially the "women vs men car crashes" bit and I guess "9/11, 420" ones too. From then I went to YouTube stuff and just fell in move with his style.
