I genuinely did not think that he was funny. Humor is an individual preference. Someone mentioned Chris Farley. He was funny. Belushi, Ackroyd, not funny to me. Chevy Chase and Bill Murray are funny to me. To each his own. We can, however, agree that cancer is NOT funny.

This guy epitomized my type of humor. I had recently gone on a Norm bender on Youtube. RIP Norm

Norm Macdonald is in my hall of fame if only for one joke. He was doing the SNL Weekend Update in '95 or so and said this, in his matter-of-fact tone of voice and with an incredulous semi-smirk on his face:

"After the OJ Simpson acquittal verdict was announced, Washington DC mayor Marion Berry urged both white Americans and black Americans... To help get him some crack."

Found a list of some great Weekend Update jokes:

quote:

And finally, legendary pool hustler Minnesota Fats passed away Wednesday. You know, now he's probably up in Heaven, racking them up for a game with St. Peter. Or, maybe he's in hell, where demons gnaw at his flesh and the agonies of the damned never cease. Either way, he'll be missed!

quote:

The nation is still reeling from Thursday's bombshell announcement that Lisa Marie Presley has filed for divorce from Michael Jackson. According to friends, the two were never a good match. She's more of a stay at home type and he's more of a homosexual pedophile.

That one was in 1996 mind you.
quote:

And now, Weekend Update would like to wish a happy birthday to comic legend George Burns, who turned 100 years old today. You know, I don't know the secret to his longevity, but I think I speak for all of us when I say I hope Pauly Shore doesn't know it either.

quote:

PLO leader Yasser Arafat announced this week that his wife is pregnant. The happy couple said they really don't care if the child is a boy or girl, just as long as it hates Jews.

quote:

In Los Angeles this week, the defense suffered a setback in the second O.J. trial when Simpson was ordered to turn over a secret videotape which lawyers say contains proof of his guilt. What's on the tape? The first O.J. trial.

quote:

Kenny G has a Christmas album out this year. Hey, Happy Birthday, Jesus. Hope you like crap!

quote:

O.J. Simpson was in a different courtroom this week, attempting to regain custody of his two children. In order to prove to the court how much he loves his kids, O.J. pointed out, quote: "Hey they're still alive, aren't they?!!"

quote:

In publishing news, Magic Johnson has received a $5 million dollar advance from Random House for his new book, entitled "What You Can Do to Avoid AIDS." Chapter one? "Don't have sex with me."


Here's more to enjoy:

Conan and Norm were just hilarious together. Conan would just see it coming, and start cringing so early.

The balls it took to stand up at that Comedy Central roast and stick to the bit the entire time, that's talent.
