Love to see some Norm! His bit about fighting cancer makes me tear up every time I hear it anymore
Have a link?
Sure thing. Here you go
On the language of “losing/winning” a “battle” with cancer:
“I’m pretty sure when you die, the cancer dies too at the same time. So that to me isn’t a loss, it’s a draw.”
It’s worth mentioning that Norm MacDonald died from leukemia in 2021 and the joke was probably written sometime early into his diagnosis or pre-diagnosis. If I were reading into it like an English teacher, I’d say that this is an example of a man candidly coming to terms with his own mortality, vocalizing it in the only way he knew how: third-person comedy. It’s just all-in-all a pretty saddening thing to look back on. Almost reminds me of that tragedy.
Thank you.
Solid follow up for some solid comedy.
comedians have this amazing gift of being able to make us laugh about even the worst horrible things.
♥️Norm Genius♥️
I’ve said this thousands of times, and I still believe it fully. Assisted suicide should 100% be legal. You can put a dog out of it’s misery but mom has to die slowly and painfully from the incurable cancer eating their brain.
What an excellent take! This guy understands.
As someone who has been close to the edge a few times whilst depressed, this made me feel so much better about it.
But then you came and it made you feel better, right?
Dont know who downvoted you. I think that’s pretty funny.
Depression isn’t funny, but jokes are.
