the best part is the disparity between the professional comedians dying with laughter on stage

all except Jim Norton. he also rushed Norm off O&A the one time he was on so that he could admire Brock Lesnar.

Norton is great at radio and sometimes comedy but he seems to not appreciate Norm which makes me hate him a little.

Norton tries to push the shock thing too much - I remember one time Chris Jericho was on O&A and Norton referred to Jericho's disabled mother as a "cripple". Jericho took offense and asked him to please stop saying that. Norton obliged and then immediately called her a cripple again, prompting Jericho to almost beat the poo poo out of him.

Comedians who say "we can say whatever we want because we're comedians - lighten up" are dipshits -there's no art in being an rear end in a top hat.

Well there is, but then he should call himself a professional rear end in a top hat and not a comedian.

I think the idea of a guy intentionally making fun of a dude's disabled mother twice is kind of an rear end in a top hat thing to do but when you deliberately do it to a beefy wrasstledude in order to catch an rear end-beating it becomes hilarious in a Knoxvillian sort of way, a legitimate use of assholery combined with sincere suffering for the sake of art in the cause of dark comedy.

That's why Kaelin was his in-studio friend when he was playing Millionaire. Makes sense now.

I could never really get into norm's podcast but the one I did watch with super dave had this moment where eget asks super dave where he gets his ideas from and then later tells some story about how salt is dangerous and both times were met with the most uncomfortable silence I have ever heard in my life and it's making me laugh out loud just writing this. I wish I had video of it.

There was some episode where Eget makes a really bad joke, and Norm just flips out on him saying "JESUS CHRIST WE PAY THIS GUY $10,000 PER EPISODE AND THAT'S THE BEST HE COMES UP WITH"

Norm said he wanted a stooge that he can heap abuse on and they just take it, so that's why he's there but he still sucks.

Is his show going to be him talking about the news and making jokes like on Weekend Update or Sports Show?

He usually does jokes near the end of the episode, but most of the time he lets the guests read them

I know that is from the first page but, jeez, the comments...

...If you aren't Christian you won't get the joke. Norm is Christian so he has to play dumb in order to slip the hidden message under the noses of the secular masses. Here is the message. Americans are going to psychiatrists to help them with their troubles like feeling like something they are not, for instance someone wanting to change their sex. The spider with a web above the everlasting fire of hell is a great metaphor for such transformative fantasies. He purposely uses Russian sounding names to denote which group of people the moths are behaving like. The punch line is that although Americans will see psychiatrists to help them with their troubles, the Russian people are being guided by the light of Christ. The podiatrist as a joke device is irrelevant and carries no context to the profession that would otherwise heal the soul. The point is that we should be guiding ourselves to the light of Christ and not to the psychiatrists office because that is in our true nature.
