Norm is a genius, and his humor is lost on the average viewer.

HUGE cojones to deliver that many minutes of intentionally bad jokes. Genius.

On one hand, I don't think that saying intentionally unfunny stuff to be like, "oooh, look how clever I am..." is particularly clever or funny.

On the other hand, I laughed through at least half of that clip. Well done, Norm.

He is the master of delivery regardless of the material. Norm could make the phonebook funny.

I love how each joke is about 1/3 groan 1/3 funny 1/3 direct kidney punch. This also means that 2/3 of the people don't see what's going on.

eh he's not doing anything original or funny. roasts are an easy target. it's a lot harder to actually write good material than to just mock something stupid.

i think norm mcdonald sucks.

This is awesome. Only works if you know what Norm is usually like.

What the H?

That was great! I wouldn't be surprised if some of those jokes (if not all of them) were taken from much older Roasts. Those are the kind of corny insult jokes comedians used to tell in when I was a kid.

Wow, that was just awesome. I haven't laughed like that in a long time.

My favorite part was watching the other comedians like Greg Geraldo figure out what he was up to.

The surprise and joy on their faces as they were witnessing Andy Kauffman-like brilliantness was priceless!

Watch this video and if you dont find it hilarious you are stupid!!!!1111

I've yet to watch a roast i enjoyed, this one certainly hasn't changed my mind on them, good delivery though.

Well the people telling other people that if you don't find something funny you must be an imbecile. I found it quite funny so I'm glad I've made it to the high standards of comedy snobdom. Now I can look down upon the others, stroking my beard and clucking my tongue exclaiming, "Oh what's to be done about this rabble?"

It's comedy people if you don't find it funny big deal, it's about laughter not judging.

That was Bob Saget? What's he doing these days? The last thing I know is hosting America's Funniest Home Videos, which has been repeated so many times that it has become unstuck in time.

i watched this roast twice when it aired.
the whole thing was fucking hilarious.
cloris leachman was particularly enjoyable.
and i have an ugly crush on brian posehn.
god, this whole roast is really really brilliant.
everyone, go watch the whole thing.

Turns out I can't stand anti-comedy. Of the few jokes I could get through, I did recognize some from old-timey roasts. But I just don't see how this could be anything but painful to watch, and ya know what... I don't like pain!

you idiots, this is not anti-comedy or whatever you're trying to label it, it is the result of too much drugs and alcohol.
Mcdonald was famous for his style of comedy before, why do you think he would dump that so he can no longer have any more movies or tv shows?
he gambled all his money away and now he is trying to hang on to the few braincells he still has left.
he used to be my favorite but now even his closest friends feel sorry for him, just watch the video.

^I get it. [wink] nice anti-anti-comedy.

Three men walk into a bar. Two go and find a seat while the other heads to the bar to buy the first round. As he approaches the barman, the barman can't help but notice how well-to-do this man looks. He is covered head to toe in the finest garments and jewelry, he is even wearing a crown, a monocle, and carrying a scepter. In short, all the trappings of a cartoon billionaire. As the bar man is pulling the pints he remarks to the gentlemen: "I hope you don't think I'm prying, but, I couldn't help but notice you seem pretty well off. How, may I ask did you come into such a fortune?"

the man replies:" Well, me and my friends over there found a genie in a beer bottle outside, and he granted us each a wish"

barman:"So, I take it you wished to be the richest man in the world"

The man puts one finger on his nose, and points at the barman with the other hand, as you would in a game of charades

barman:" Not a bad choice at all if i do say so"

The man nods politely, pays for the round and goes over to his friends

After a while, the second man goes up to the bar. This man is notable only insofar as he can barely be seen for all the beautiful woman draped around him, seemingly caressing every available inch of his body. He orders another round which the barman dutifully pulls. As he finishes off the last pint he can't help but comment: "I hope you don't mind me asking but, you are a friend of that wealthy gentlemen over there aren't you?"

"I am indeed" murmurs the man from beneath the pile of beauties.

"And you wished to be the most attractive man in the world"

"Pretty much, yeah"

"Excellent choice sir, enjoy your round" says the barman with the kind of knowing smile you tend to see on people vicariously appreciating the implied sexual exploits of a stranger. So he shuffles back to the table and him and his friends have their drinks. Not long later the third man approaches the bar and asks for another round. The barman cannot help but notice this man has an orange for a head. But he carries on pulling the pints in silence, until he cannot contain himself any longer and asks

"You found the genie too right?"

"That's correct" replies the man with an orange for a head.

"And what did you wish for, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I wished to have an orange for a head"

A horse walks into a bar.
The bartenders asks "why the long face?"
The horse replies "I'm an alcoholic."

Imstellar, isn't yours more like a shaggy dog story? Still anti-humor though.

huh, I always thought the horse had a long face because he was a horse

Two men walk into a bar, you'd think the second guy would have ducked.

Once he got to Saget, it turned fantastic! Best funny unfunny delivery of totally unfunny jokes ever.

Two men walk into a bar. They ordered drinks.

Two men walked into a bar.

They hung there, by their skulls, for days.

And Dubai was happy.

rougy, Doc_M and dag walk into a bar, the bartender walks up and asks, "What is this.... a joke?".


...ok, I'm done.

Tough crowd. Alright here are some more.

Why are there no aspirin in the jungle?
Because it would not be financially viable to sell pharmaceuticals in a largely unpopulated rainforest

What do you call two Mexicans playing basketball?
Their names, if you know them. If not just say "excuse me"

He is an alcoholic and his drink is destroying his family.
