Then they get Super Dave back on

I've seriously watched that at least half a dozen times and that's not something I can normally do. It's almost perfect. Their chemistry and the way he treats Adam is so loving funny. It's weird that the guy I watched when I was 5 doing stupid stunts is someone I still find hilarious.

I remember reading an interview and Seinfeld had no idea what he was going to say so his reactions are genuine.

Edit - The Russell Brand episode was the only one I couldn't get through. Listening to fat Norm talk about sex was too creepy for me. Plus I loving hate Russell Brand. Billy Bob's was kind of boring too.

You can't really blame him, who the gently caress can eat egg whites and spinach and still be funny? It hasn't been working for Howard.

There is a middle ground between buckets of gravy and fried chicken and spinach. That video of him eating sandwich after sandwich with animal noises was funny. I don't care what he eats as long as he keeps saying gently caress though. That man knows how to use that word. 'Drink it you fucker!'

Guys. I love podcasts, I love Norm, I love things that are funny but this podcast is just not clicking for me at all. Do you guys mostly watch the videos? I've only been listening only to the audio-only versions at work and everything just feels uncomfortable and weird in a not-entertaining way. I really want to like it but I'm just getting bored :smith:

I've listened to the super dave episode, tom green episode and about half the kevin nealon episode. I will say tho, during the Super Dave episode when Norm's sidekick guy told some awful news story and Super Dave just tore him apart comparing the momentum of the show to driving 150mph on a racetrack just about made me pass out trying not to laugh too loud at work.

The video version is much better in my opinion, though I'm not sure why. The Super Dave episode is still my favorite, though the Gilbert one is good too (if you're not a typical easily offended internet user), so maybe it's just not for you. I think PFT is annoying but around here he's the 2nd coming. Humor is just so subjective. I love Norm being given free reign with his peculiar sense of humor, which is admittedly very odd. It is usually marginally uncomfortable as well.

I know he's got a weird sense of humor...



Did anyone watch that?

It's shocking when things are not available anywhere on the internet now. I could only find a clip (which was funny but mentioned rape so watch at your own risk) from that show. Someone has it recorded and it will uneventfully pop up on YouTube someday. I hope Norm finds something that he can stick with someday, he just seems so monumentally depressed sometimes.

AxeManiac posted:

Norm always seems drunk, which is weird because he says he's never drank or I guess just doesn't drink, never heard his getting drunk story.

His 'drink it you motherfucker!' bit with Adam Eget was funny as poo poo.

Do I not understand Twitter or does Norm delete most of his stuff? It mostly only goes back a little ways, other than some weird older stuff.

He was the first guest on Tom Green Live the other night but I don't know what the gently caress AXS TV is or how to watch it. Maybe he mentioned it on the show.

From that opening and the porn guy video from earlier, I think norm may be the worst actor I have ever seen. But for whatever reason it just makes it more enjoyable for me.

I'd like to see Norm and Artie Lange in "Not Giving a gently caress Where Godot is"

That would never happen, Norm would be hiding in his apartment tweeting about golf and Artie would be in an alley somewhere doing heroin with a hooker.

I don't think I'd ever watch another show if Norm somehow got that job. That was perfect.

That looks like Dave Foley or David Spade coming up next week.

gently caress I figured we weren't getting one with all the golf over the holiday weekend. It was a tiny thumbnail and it was a private video, so I was basing it on that. I wish it was Foley so they could talk Canada and because I loving hate Spade. He's such an ugly lech.

Norm rarely puts any effort into anything and that's why he's great. His porn producer role is amazing for that very reason.

Does anyone know what he's up to currently?

Betting on sports of course. Since it's getting too cold for golf, now it's football nonsense. Ever since I learned he lived alone in an apartment, I've felt bad for him.

He didn't look bad on the SNL thing the other week. Hopefully that jump starts him a bit and he gets going again.

So the podcast is probably going to Netflix for sure now with Seinfeld and Letterman coming on. I still think his first episode with super Dave is my favorite thing anyone has ever made.

He mentioned he was doing Maron after Nerdist on the Nerdist interview. No clue how long the lead time is on that.

Sometimes it's months, but I'm hoping this is one he wants to get pushed out sooner. I really can't listen to Chris Hardwick talk so I didn't make it through the Nerdist one.

I was on a Norm on YouTube wormhole and I watched this for some reason:

He knew, yeah? Or am I reading too much into this, because it seems like you wouldn't say that about a normal person. I know I've heard from lots of comedians that it was a known thing but without proof, but this is the earliest video I've seen about it.

I can't imagine they'd sit on David Letterman (with one of the best beards ever) for too long, but it's Norm and he may be insane.
