Paid Members LaGoosh Posted September 22, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 22, 2021 The sheer amount of time he takes building up to such an absurd ending joke absolutely slays me every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted May 12, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2022 The news of new Norm material excites me. But it’s going to be equally heartbreaking. His sister had apparently confirmed this too saying it was filmed in his apartment and it’s going to be a Netflix special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaitoRyo Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Has anyone watched Nothing Special yet? I haven't gotten around to it due to time and, to be honest, sadness. I'll watch it eventually as I have heard and read nothing but good things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot of very unpolished material that never would have made it out on the road in front of an audience. His delivery is amazing considering it's all one take and it's an interesting experiment but it's also not funny. More disappointing was some stuff here about Down's Syndrome people and, yes, transgender people that was as unnecessary as usual. The interviews at the end are insufferable, aside from Letterman who seemed to subtly suggest this special wasn't very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get around to it eventually, but in the meantime I think I'll stick with the classic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitoRyo Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Watched Nothing Special last night. Rather enjoyed it, even if it obviously wasn't the same as a proper standup or anything. A few really laugh-out-loud moments and some meandering material, but it was an enjoyable way to spend an hour. I'm curious how it would have worked in front of an audience. I also didn't really notice any trans jokes - maybe one, and even that was far from harsh or anything - with most of it being fairly light. The post-special round table thing was fine for what it was. Edited June 9, 2022 by SaitoRyo I watched the special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I can't believe I've never seen this before. I'm genuinely crying. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted July 21, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) I've been watching his sitcom Norm a lot recently. It's fascinatingly shit, but he's always good value in it (though not a good actor at all). The support cast are shocking though, even Laurie Metcalf's piss poor.

SuperBacon Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Great stuff from Norm, but also a reminder that Conan is one of the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
