This will probably be my most effort post here, but here goes... if anyone deserves a longpost, it's norm.
What a good comedian/ Its utterly rare nowadays to have any mainstream comedy that is remotely funny, somehow norm always manages to do it. I havent seen any of his clips and not laughed. But that cant be said about modern comedy. No matter what era he was in, he was always hilarious.
They took him off Weekend Update for being too funny, and ruffling the wrong feathers. Can you imagine what SNL would look like if norm was still a writer for it?
Macdonald accused NBC exec Don Ohlmeyer of firing him over his controversial Simpson jokes, though Ohlmeyer claimed it was because of poor ratings.
We know that NBC is a shill for the democrat party. This guy was one of the funniest of the entire 90's SNL cast, and that includes dana carvey, mike myers, and meadows, among other greats of the comedy world.
There is NO way they didnt fire him for making the dems look bad. This norm clip is every bit as vicious as it is hilarious, the true purpose of a comedian- to make us all laugh, even at bad situations.
Very few comedians can do what norm did- being both topical and making it laugh out loud hilarious. His dedpan delivery is almost legendary, and barely matched by any other comic.
It is a terrible loss, for the comedy, and world at large, the voices speaking against the gathering dark of the world, have today been reduced by one.
Norm would have saved weekend update, had they kept him on the show, with unbeatable ratings, no doubt. As comedy falls into the same trap that journalism did, becoming a TOOL of the powerful instead of a great light held up to it, exposing the beautiful and more repulsive facets of our culture in equal mesure, Norm will always be a reminder for us, of what great comedy can be, and what that same comedy USED to be, for all of us.
Rest well, Norm, hope youre making the devil and everyone else laugh their asses off, wherever ya are.
