"It's exactly like a real place, except it's ridiculous"
-
Norm Macdonald's life is like an audition to be an old man.
-
I have recently been diagnosed with a chronic disease that keeps me immobile most of the day, but watching Norm has given me joy. I wish I could thank him personally.
-
“What’s the cat number?” “Just hang up the phone!” My favorite part.
-
I love when he finishes the cat story he instinctively goes "nehh he's a good man" about a cat.
-
I love how Norm’s bits are completely chaotic, you never know if they’re completely random, if there’s a punchline, whether it’s the end of story or there’s more to it, what’s intended and what’s not... – it’s basically like random guy talking random stuff but it’s bizarrely hilarious.

"It feels like there's a yak on my chest" - The cat
-
I love how even though he's explaining everything as though Jay doesn't know what any of it is, he doesn't come across as patronizing, but more bewildered and hoping for someone to commiserate with over how strange the world is. Very unique delivery style.

"This other character...he comes out of the bathroom. You know? He was in the bathroom?" holds eyesight, pauses, checks to see if audience understands this concept, waits for this new and important information to be assimilated
-
Sometimes you think he's finished but he's not
-
Happiness is finding a Norm clip that you have not seen before! I love this! Norm and Jay!
-
One of the things I love about Norm on late night shows is you get to see what the hosts’ real laughter is like as opposed to their usual affection.
-
"I keep it on a platonic level, ya know?" - Haha so great
-
Interesting...the Seinfeld episode "The Merv Griffin Show" where George hits a squirrel and has to take it to an animal hospital where the doctors then give him 30 minutes alone with the squirrel aired on November 6, 1997. This episode of the tonight show was on Jay Leno's 47th birthday, which was April 28, 1997. So the Seinfeld writers very much could've been inspired by this exact Norm story.

"My cat is in deep trouble" Only Norm can utter a sentence like this 😂😂😂
-
Norm is the comedian that makes other comedians laugh😂
-
"Alright, alright. What's the cat number?" Genius.
-
I keep it at a platonic level bahahaha
-
4:43 "I came home, and I go: 'Okay.'" Underrated bit of classic Norm bizarreness
-
Rest In Peace, Norm. Thanks for the laughs!
