A few weeks ago Priest sent me a YouTube clip of Don Rickles roasting Sammie Davis Jr. and it got me thinking of some of my favorite Don Rickles moments.  Immediately, the scene in Dirty Work came to mind.  In that scene Rickles calls Artie Lange a baby gorilla while listening to his stomach for frolicking ice cream as Norm MacDonald laughs off-cue.  I then began thinking of Norm MacDonald and impulsively began looking up “Dirty Work” and “Norm MacDonald” clips.  That’s how my mind works…

Norm MacDonald, much like his movie Dirty Work, is very funny and under-appreciated.  My wife and I saw Dirty Work in a massive cineplex outside of Boulder.  To this day, it is the only movie I’ve seen where the theater was completely empty.  Just the two of us.   Well, actually, one random guy came in about an hour into the film, sat down for 5 minutes, then left.  But that’s it.  Awesome.

Alright, here it is.  My favorite Norm MacDonald clips from YouTube and Hulu.

Don Rickles and Norm in Dirty Work

I love this clip.  Not really a “Norm” video, but it’s great.

Norm Hijacks Conan Interview

This is a clip from Late Night with Conan O’Brien where he interviews the girl from Melrose Place.  Norm completely  hijacks the interview from the guest couch.  This one gets real good about 5 minutes in.

More Early Norm MacDonald Stand Up

It’s too bad NBC removed all of the Weekend Update video from YouTube.  I am hoping they will appear in their entirety over at Hulu soon.  Until then, enjoy the other video.
