AxeManiac posted:One thing I find, is if a joke enough funny enough, you just gotta explain it enough times until people understand, then boy howdy, will they be laughing. Thank you, Mark Twain. And agreed. In which case Todd Glass was masterful on Norm's podcast (explaining the parameters of comedy for all of us boors).

I have never found Koechner enjoyable. I can't stand the way he talks, and don't find him funny.

Hahaha, this is the best thing to come out of the episode:David Koechner's Wikipedia page posted:He also strongly admires Creedence Clearwater Revival, whom he has described as "the American Beatles"[27], although he downplayed his appreciation for them in an interview with Norm Macdonald.[28]

yeah David Koechner was the worst. I kind of don't get why he doesn't have better guests. Wouldn't most comics love to be on a show with Norm? He must be choosing his buddies or whatever.

When Koechner started to get noticeably irate he should have given him the Todd Glass treatment. I liked the Todd Glass interview. He was an extrovert, and he kept in good spirits, never getting legitimately angry. In the end he gave Norm a lot of material to work with. I don't know much about Koechner, but he was just passive and sort of abrasive so there wasn't much of a potential for chemistry between them. fuf posted:I kind of don't get why he doesn't have better guests.

Not all interviews can be hits, and even large network talk shows end up with lots of stinkers.

They shared anecdotes they already knew as friends before and said they hung out a bit in the past so perhaps the interview chemistry wasn't there but they seemed somewhat close. I guess Norm just didn't want to bust the balls of a closer friend than Todd Glass. I'm just spit-balling though.

I don't know much about Koechner, but he was just passive and sort of abrasive so there wasn't much of a potential for chemistry between them. I think the Todd Glass interview was my favorite from this season as well, precisely because Norm dug into him so hard. And as silly as I find Todd Glass, you're right; he gets a lot of points for rolling with the punches. I'm hoping they book Roseanne soon because she's has been vilified for being "crazy" or whatever and Norm seems to have a pretty interesting history, at least anecdotally, as a writer on that show. NoEyedSquareGuy posted:It could also be considered a bad idea to let Russel Brand appear in any form of media. I got sort of a perverse kick out of watching an idiot condescend a genius, to be honest. Watching Brand spout off on those half-baked diatribes about "acquiring a superficial education", sexual liberation while missing Norm's jokes about being a prude, and transcendental meditation/spirituality was pretty hilarious. And the youtube comments from all the Brand fans in awe of the man's garrulous displays of pretension ruled. rest his guts fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Jul 9, 2014 |

As bad a fit as Helberg was, it was amusing to watch him quickly realize how in over his head he was, and how clearly he was not enjoying himself. Koechner was just bland.

I thought Koechner was funny. Norms podcast is weird for a comedian interview podcast cuz it draws a crowd that doesn't know who Dave Koechner and Todd Glass are. Theyre both awesome and good but I guess the reason they arent more well known might be the same as the reason people didnt like them on the show.

Who doesn't know who Dave Keochner is? His name might not be recognizable, but even North Koreans have seen Anchorman enough times to quote it from start to finish.

Koechner had to have Norm lead him by the hand everywhere to be interesting at all.

I think the Nick Swardson one was one of the best - you could tell Norm thought he was really funny.
