My favorite running gag ever


molson 09-14-2021 03:49 PM

Only works if you can read them in Norm's voice, but these were some of my favorites.

"While in the hospital, Michael Jackson had his room specially decorated with two huge photos of Shirley Temple. But please don’t get the wrong idea, Michael Jackson is a homosexual pedophile."

"The nation is still reeling 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 the stay at home type while he’s more of a homosexual pedophile."

"At the Simpson civil trial this week, O.J. Simpson and Fred Goldman got into an explosive shouting match. Mr. Goldman belted at O.J., "don't give me that damn look" and O.J. shouted back "I wasn't even looking at you, you're just mad because I killed your son"

"In a brilliant move during closing arguments, Simpson attorney Johnnie Cochran put on the knit cap prosecutors say O.J. wore the night he committed the murders. Although O.J. may have hurt his case when he suddenly blurted out 'Hey, hey, easy with that, that's my lucky stabbing hat!'"

Norm MacDonald was awesome. He got kicked out of Iowa in 97.

JPhillips 09-14-2021 04:15 PM

His all-clean roast routine was brilliant.

No, this one:

This one hurts. Didn’t realize he was ill and far too young. The Conan with Courtney Thorne-Smith was the first thing I thought of when I heard.

RIP Norm.

The episode of "Family Guy" where Norm MacDonald plays Death is on FXX right now. Great episode. Great casting of Norm. "Look, I caught FloJo. You don't think I can't catch you?"

This one is a local celebrity. Jovita Moore passed away, three months after brain cancer surgery. She was the anchor on WBS, which has many times during her tenure been the highest rated local news cast in the country. Her and Justin Farmer were the last duo of local anchors that I really made time to watch. She was 52, my age that makes it all the more hit home.

BYU 14 10-30-2021 12:40 AM

I saw her story a few weeks back, very sad. Looks like she was beloved there.

Having watched the E60 profile with Ernie and Michael, this news is incredibly heartbreaking.

RIP Michael.

This one hit me pretty hard. The opportunity to talk to some of the guys and hear what they say and not say about war has affected me over the years. This has really been the case since I retired.

RIP Sir.

what i wouldn't give to have a mind as agile as this, to come up with such a framing...


cuervo72 12-23-2021 04:51 PM

I guess I know who will open my 2022, reading-wise. The question is will it be Slouching Toward Bethlehem or Play It As It Lays.

Larger than life figure, a legit hero (a Silver Star and 4 Bronze Stars), a highly entertaining writer and storyteller that never met an apple cart he wasn't willing to upset.

TMZ is reporting Betty White died.

When I saw they were doing some big 100th birthday show, I commented to my wife that that was the kiss of death. I would have told them hell no.

PilotMan 12-31-2021 01:20 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck....


If this is true...it needs it's own thread.

Ksyrup 12-31-2021 01:25 PM

It's true. At least, more than TMZ is reporting it.

I said the same thing. I can't imagine all of the anticipation/setup/stress for that production was something you want to put a 100 year-old person through.

Fuck you, 2021.

Not sure if he counts as famous or just minor internet 15 minutes famous, but Jesse Stewart died last month.



14 million views, kicked off a prospective music career, but dead of an overdose at 31.

Brian Swartz 01-07-2022 10:08 AM

Sidney Poitier has assumed room temperature. He was 94.

albionmoonlight 01-07-2022 10:47 AM

A bit belated, but Norm's death got me to get his book for Christmas, which I just read.

It's really good. Not a memoir in any real sense. But if you like his comedy, I think you will like it. It is hard to classify, but I guess I'd say it is like an extended comedy bit. That undersells it a bit b/c it's also got some pathos to it. It was nice to read it though and remember some Norm.

NobodyHere 01-07-2022 11:25 AM

RIP Mr Tibbs.

Bob Saget Dead at 65

GrantDawg 01-09-2022 06:56 PM

That is unreal. OnIy 65. He was in a hotel room, and had been on tour. This is just sad.

miami_fan 01-09-2022 07:21 PM

It can't be true that they announced the breaking news of Saget's passing during American's Funniest Home Videos, can it?

I missed this one until I saw it while looking up something else today, Archbishop Desmond Tutu died December 26th last year
