CitizenVectron Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 I didn't even know he had cancer. He was a...complicated person, with a lot of that being negative. He was also one of the finest comedic minds of the last 50 years. I got to see him do stand up once and it was incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had been battling it for 9 years apparently but it was never announced publicly. Wow. He seemed to be more on the conservative side but he kept his views out of his comedy so it never really bothered me too much. And his comedy was truly some of the best. He was a consistently perfect guest on Conan. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamusha Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 His interview on WTF years ago was really good. It was one of the few times he drops the persona and you see him as a real person. Marc Maron always reposts old interviews with anyone who has recently died, so when that one drops definitely give it a listen if you're a fan.

IdeaOfEvil Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Years ago, my grandfather was talking to all of us kids about his will and what possessions of his would go to us after he was gone. My uncle, his youngest son, was bothered by the discussion even happening. He asked, "I don't like talking about this. Doesn't it bother you?" And my gramps simply said, "As you get older, and all your heroes and friends start to die off themselves, death doesn't bother you as much. It just simply becomes your way of life." Norm is one of my heroes, and today I got to understand just what my gramps was saying a little bit better. This life got a whole lot less familiar for me =( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputator Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I didn't follow him very closely, but it's impossible to not have seen his work in some form or fashion. His style was all his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 He had a unique style of humour, and so many interviews with him could make you laugh going, "what the fuck did I just hear?" and want more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 It's small, but the newspaper bit throughout The Roast of Bob Saget remains one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I constantly think about the faces he makes and just chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 He proved you can do dark comedy that reflects truth really well without punching down (usually). Great comedian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to it at the gym and it’s such a good, honest interview. He explains his rationale behind the style of comedy that he does and what he considers to be the perfect joke.

This life got a whole lot less familiar for me =( My grandfather who is about to turn 95, and raised me, gave me his prized gold watch (retirement present after 40 years service) and their Cottage about 4 years ago. I told him that it could wait, I didn't want to see him go for a while yet. He said two things. He wanted to see us enjoy it, and he didn't want my mom, aunts and uncles fighting his will. Considering my aunt is a crazy Trumper (who barely survived Covid and is completely fucked up right now), my uncle has a terrible addiction, and my mom hasn't had contact with any of us in a decade, I do understand. They are also leaving me the home, but honestly, theres nothing id love to see more than my uncle clean his life up and beat his addiction, and if that ever happens, I will gladly sign the house over to him. Problems or not, he was really good to me growing up. It feels weird that a loved one is planning for death, its certainly an unhappy thought, but if preparations give them solace, go with it. This shocked me, I had no idea Norm was sick. He was an amazing entertainer. Saw him perform when I was in the military. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I loved Norm McDonald on pretty much everything and anything I've ever seen him on. He was looking terrible on Comedians In Cars... and I remember wondering what was going on with him. Very sad to hear this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
