The target of Norm's jokes is the preconception that exists in the listener's mind, and the fact that it exists at all to be called out. It does not age well or work on audiences that are not in on the formula. Whether you want to be funny to a handful of people and a douchebag to the rest vs. being funny to a majority of people and ignored by the minority is a choice he made long ago. I do not personally think Norm is the comic genius that some people hold him up to be but I won't pretend that I don't get what he's swinging at.

I mean you can think he’s overrated, but he’s overrated by literally every working comedian on the planet. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t absolutely revere Norm, and he’s like a conservative, anti-drug, pro-life Christian volcel and still more respected than anyone else except maybe Dave Chapelle.

On the other hand, Norm McDonald made a movie about how college campuses are outlawing free speech while trump is president lmao

I honestly dont know why the funny comics with the libertine attitudes tend to skew conservative. Doesnt really make sense to me other than deciding socialism is lame because some socialists are annoying scolds

Like shouldnt you believe what you believe based on what you think is right, not how annoying you find the oppoeition?

Totally, I get it. I don't hate the guy at all and he absolutely has his frequent moments. But do the working comedians love what he says, or the subtle elaborate framework that he constructs via his long-term persona in order to frame his comedy? It's like appreciating difficult art. An artist will appreciate different things in a piece based on the painter's body of work, etc. that may seem vulgar or awkward to a regular gallery person. He's a comedian's comedian and some people appreciate him as such; but many seem to appreciate him just because they emulate the comedians who appreciate him. Either way is fine, because it's personal--I just can't seem to make up my mind either way.

i'm literally a gay Jewish man and got called a Nazi for defending the right to say fa- i mean, for some hosed up poo poo. then got probated for a month cause I got mad about that.

it's important to "take back" offensive language to erode the power slurs have. "ironically" using offensive language displaces the target of the humor from the marginalized person to the type of person who uses that language. when nick said he thought "kink" was a slur for a Chinese jew, he's not making fun of Chinese people, or Jewish people, he's making fun of dumb loving racists.

it's a thin line to walk, sure, but the notion that it encourages naughty real life behavior is insane. trump didn't get elected because of naughty things people say online and posting with a pure enough vocabulary won't get rid of bigotry.

the only thing that really matters is improving material conditions for marginalized people and building solidarity so that the actual bigots don't have so much loving power. this seems so obvious that i feel stupid for saying it, especially in the cum town thread. in conclusion I'm gay.

as a fellow lgbt jewish man i honor my ancestors, who endured some of the most horrific persecution in recorded history, by becoming catatonic over problematic emoji and cartoons aimed at 8 year olds

Nah it's mediocre tbh

It's like if Adam Friedland wrote a movie. The main character is a jeweler who rubs elbows with NBA stars, has to keep his Jewish family happy, has an Instagram girlfriend who doesn't cheat on him and is actually fingering herself when she says she is over the phone, and ultimately is proven right but is still betrayed by a short man and his moronic friend(s).
