Then I saw the other stuff and woof... I have no interest in hearing from this dude ever again.
Well, I have some good news for you I guess...

Fitting that this could be a Norm punchline.
If only. At least today this guy seems to be everywhere.
Lmao, basketball players. So you don't know literally the most basic fact about OJ or these other men. That's uhh…interesting.Well the reactions from the guys could be an indication.
1. I'm side eyeing every white person obsessed with the OJ Simpson case. To call Norm obsessed would be an understatement.
2. Letting members of the black community suffer because one black dude got away with it just rubs me the wrong way. "Oh black basketball dude, gotta taint his achievement with mentioning murder guy black basketball dude".
3. Norm, a racist-person-defender and metoo-"critizicer" doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.
Like the Grinch, his nose will grow 3 sizes this day
DAYMMN
We all know Norm was kind of a piece of shit in his political views and had a boomer mentality when it came to many political and sociopolitical issues, and probably did some untoward shit regarding women.
He was also a comedy genius and brought me so much joy throughout the first 30 years of my life. I am conflicted about holding his now-dead feet to the fire about his missteps. Right now, I am just sad he's gone.
I will say that this news hit me hard and I miss him, already.
not like it would hurt at this time
People are posting clips of Norm Macdonald being hilarious everywhere because he was a genius comedian. You don't have to interact with it, you don't have to watch the clips, you don't have to take part in the discourse, you don't have to celebrate him. In fact, you seem to have done a good job of not thinking about Norm Macdonald at all until the last 24h, I'm sure you'll manage to persevere through this.
I tell you, the more I hear about this Norm guy, the less I care for him.Knew nothing about this guy, saw some clips and found them very funny indeed. Then I saw the other stuff and woof... I have no interest in hearing from this dude ever again.
Im guessing this is funny because that's how he talked? Heh, if so.I tell you, the more I hear about this Norm guy, the less I care for him.
I mean this guy was a real jerk!

I find it so funny that a lot of people have the automatic reaction of "oh, someone died and seems to be widely celebrated? Guess it's the perfect time to put on my cape and go on a superficial Google rabbit hole to teach the uncouth masses about how this guy I barely know jack shit about is actually the scum of the Earth".
I mean again, been a fan of Norm since I was a kid in the 90s watching Conan. My favorite comedian. But I noticed since years ago that whenever he'd have a serious interview, where he sounded depressed and didn't joke a lot, that the guy was obviously a secret asshole. He usually kept that out of his bits and I liked him best when he stuck to comedy, to "his character".
Crazy how the guy secretly dying of cancer was occasionally depressed and an arsehole in interviews

It's funny because it references a bit you don't recognize and for some reason you seem to believe you need to constantly give input into the life and work of a man whose existence you were unaware of until yesterday.Im guessing this is funny because that's how he talked? Heh, if so.
Im guessing this is funny because that's how he talked? Heh, if so.
This is some irony.... you are talking about racism but see OJ was a black athlete and assumed it had to be basketball?

The stories I've read from so many female comics yesterday and today are gut wrenching. Fuck.
probably related to groping, with the inclusion of "female comics" I can only assume Norm was more like Louis CK in more ways than one.

I don't think it's in bad taste or whatever for people to post anecdotes about Norm being problematic. I never heard he groped fans before yesterday, but I'm glad it was posted. Not that I'm happy about it, of course, but getting a more compete picture of the guy feels appropriate now, given how private he was. I saw Andy Richter post this nice story today:yeah that's what I figured but I wanna
be sure.
a very funny guy but problematic as fuck clearly.

lol norm's hatred of bill maher has always been funny throughout the years

Well it was 10 years ago, and while I've never been a fan of Bill Maher anyway, I definitely he's gotten way worse over the years.Just listened to the WTF podcast he was on and he specifically says that he likes Bill. So who knows what the truth is :)
lmaoThis is some irony.... you are talking about racism but see OJ was a black athlete and assumed it had to be basketball?
Speaking of WTF -- I just finished listening to that ep, and it is a great interview, but the number of times Norm mentions that the only things he fears are illness and death...fuck.
Ah, that Norm, he was a good guy.I tell you, the more I hear about this Norm guy, the less I care for him.
I mean this guy was a real jerk!
