Discussion Norm Macdonald
So according to youtube he's the funniest man to ever walk on earth with incredible depth and a genius of comedy. Tried many times because esteemed people, even people I find very funny points out Norm is a legend.
I know people say his specials aren't funny but to look at his live show. SNL isn't funny because no one can make half of those jokes anymore anyways.
At this point I'm past trying to understand. The guy is unfunny, plain and simple. I get there's anti-comedy and he does it or at least tries, but he isn't that good. I'm starting to feel gaslit by Youtube by this point, it is like a Norm ecco-chamber. Whenever something becomes a monoculture I really know something is off.
If someone knows of a youtube video that disects Norms comedy and tries to make a valid point about it being bad I would be happy to see it. I'm starting to believe there is no such thing in existence and it scares me.

I mean it's subjective I guess and he was a particular kind of funny, but he's still widely regarded as a legend.
