I bet only the very tiniest fraction of fans ever hear Norm's joke about the Amish, I think he was really enjoying those shots, he said he hadn't had a drink in over 2 years
@@ytubeanon I think this is a moment of genius. Norm is in a relaxed state for the whole episode and then out of nowhere he turns it up to 11 for the closer. Savant level comedy
Norm was such a bright beautiful genius Tom is not far behind. so funny Aristotle's only missing treatise is his analysis of comedy, he wrote it and it is missing. What is funny says everything about a culture and people.

So as far as I can tell (and I'll feel like a real jerk if I'm wrong about this!), that Byron Allen thing is a 3 part gag - the 1st part of the gag about how unbelievably depressing and heavy the 1st guest's problems are; the 2nd part about how awkward and inappropriate the segue from the 1st guest to the 2nd guest and their relatively trivial problems is; and the 3rd part about laughably ridiculous the segue from the 2nd guest to the 3rd guest is (i.e. to accentuate even more how bad the 1st segue was). A deceptively sophisticated gag which not many people would get on the 1st sitting. I think it took me about 5 times if I'm honest. Either that or I'm insane and it's not about that at all !? Oh lord!
That kid said he was getting suspended or whatever from school for mooning his bus driver-a nice ripe premise for making jokes out of-and he just ditched him, blowing the opportunity and moving on to the next caller, who had nothing.
He might not be funny as an interviewer, but Freddy Got Fingered is as much a work of comic genius as the Moth joke is. Watch that movie from beginning to end with someone and tell me you don't laugh your ass off.
