Most of his funniest lines were either ignored or not heard/understood by the guest. I love it when that happens and in the background you can hear the crew cackling at Norm messing around with the interview. In this case, Todd Glass brought out some of the best of Norm.
@Samuel Brown More like remove all the brilliant Norm MacDonald Live shows off the internet while not uploading them anywhere else and replacing them with the shitty sanitized Netflix episodes.
On this episode of Norm MacDonald Live, Todd went on this self righteous tirade about how stereotypes are lazy...only to minutes later say he loves CRUDE humor as long as it is "towards the right things." So...at first, he says stereotypes arent brave, but lazy....then he acts as though crude, to be crude humor isnt lazy...as long as it is toward "the right thing." ...but, who decides what the right thing is? So, there it is, these pro-censorship people just think you should be able to make stereotypes and crude humor toward "the right thing." I'd argue that some stereotypes are true and the fact that censor police try to silence them makes it reason enough to use them in humor. At this point, making a joke out of a stereotype is more brave than simply being crude because these corporate silencers arent really trying to silence crude humor...id even say theyre using it to subvert the populace.
He’s not a decider, he just understands bad vibes in a way none of the rest of us can. Us normal folks need the genius of Todd Glass to decipher what’s been deemed offensive…

I can't thank you enough for putting this up. This is one of my favorite episodes of NML. Bless you for bringing this back where it belongs: freeing it from Netflix's evil claws and now again free for everyone who revere Norm MacDonald as the best comedian on the globe.

@@heidi7151 Thanks Heidi! Please note that RU-vid sometimes shadows links or takes down whole comments with links in it that don't redirect to other RU-vid videos (and sometimes links to 'unfavorable' YT vids too, like political ones). Your good work will be made undone, you can avoid this by strategically adding a space in the adress (after the dot of dot com, or in this case dot fm). Don't forget to tell commenters to take the space out. Thanks again!

RIP Mr. Macdonald. A true legend who left this world far too soon. One of the funniest people that has even lived. Quick wit, fearless, and always brought the best for his audience. Godspeed Sir, cya on the other side
Favorite moments: "I dont mean to say the guy's high, but his EAR JUST POPPED." "And when we come back Todd Glass is going to read from his book, stoned out of his fucking mind!" "That's not all you were doing outside..." "You pretended you were on the DYNAH SHORE SHOW!?" "Why would a father get naked, to spank his child?" "and he's probably watching from a- well, actually hes probably down below, gettin raped by the devil!"
I can’t explain how much I appreciate you putting these videos up. This was one of my favorite podcasts. It’s genuinely Norm at his best..fucking with Todd Glass. God bless Norm.
Norm tries to set the trap he always does "the smoke of poor souls who once loved and had dreams, this guy thinks it's all bull shit" and then Todd doesn't laugh so Norm falls into his own trap and laughs. One of my favorite things on the internet
Glass is a self proclaimed homosexual jew. No one needs to say anything about glass for the rest of eternity. Eternity. 2nd showing in Tijuana. 2nd showing.
i temporarily mentally synced up with Norm, i literally forgot Todd Glass's name right at the same time Norm did (at the very end of the episode), its not that Todd is forgettable but this episode is so "off the rails" that i think it kinda scrambles your brain. funny stuff, great episode!
I truly believe the only reason Norm did these podcasts was because he knew he wouldn't be around much longer. Most of the people he invited were friends of his and people he enjoyed or found interesting.
It was very hard to listen to. Just a big storm cloud of negativity. He tried to shut down Norm's actual comedy at every step. I hope he gets better, because this was really sad. Norm and Adam still managed to break through with some funny at a few points.

I was mesmerised by norms intro story, lying in the dark. When he said "a leper", it was a proper creepy moment that made the hairs on my arms stand up. :D
@@inandoutoftheabyss9953 I think I gave Adam way too much credit. He said, "I have 3 things to say about that!" Which I though was a callback to minutes prior when Todd kept repeating, "let me say three things about this!"
@@AJ-das you might be right! i just saw this comment and skipped ahead. I can see adam doing that. Adam is good (almost too good) at subtlety and.....meta comedy....I hate meta.
unfortunately a lot of this is lost without the visual element. Todd is locked in for the whole episode. If I recall they even went over by 40 minutes. Both have excellent presence.
I mean... Thank God we have footage to go back and look at this and see if we're on the right side of things... We're not done evolving... Someone should get us into the hotels
I love plenty of very non pc comedians, but it does get to a point where everyone is just in competition to say the most outrageous things possible. When that happens the most rebellious and interesting thing you can do is stand up and do dad jokes
It's ironic that Todd Glass says offensive comedians think they're brave, while he himself acts as if he's being this brave maverick protecting transvestites and shit and getting offended by simple Liberacci jokes. As if the whole mainstream culture and ESPECIALLY the LA/Hollywood bubble he lives in doesn't wholeheartedly agree with him.

@@inandoutoftheabyss9953 imo he’s just talking about his personal preferences and what makes him uncomfortable. he’s not censoring anyone. no comic has the power to censor other comics. humans are full of internal conflict and doubt. chill

@@inandoutoftheabyss9953 I agree completely. Todd's opinion would change depending on which way the wind blows. Norm understood that censorship was BS. Norm knew that no matter what the joke is that someone could always be offended, and at the same time there is always someone out there that would laugh also. I don't care a single bit for Todd, but he was a good guest for Norm because Norm was always at his best when there was a weak minded individual squirming at the things he joked about.
