People like Louis CK and Norm Macdonald and Joe Rogan and Nick Mullen and so on and so on...

[AmateurAgitator]

So Norm McDonald has died, yet Rogan is still breathing.

R.I.P.

Unfortunately I have yet to see anything at all funny that he has said or done.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Must say I hadn’t noticed him since he went on his pay channel thing.

spotify?

 

[Orang Utan]

spotify?

it's a pay channel

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Not sure whether 8ball was referring to JR or NM.. Obviously, you can pay for Spotify to get rid of the ads.

Yeah, I meant Rogan. I thought Spotify was pay only but haven't paid attention to it since the super-early days when it was totally free.

he was referring to Rogen going to Spotify, which you have to pay for. Cos of the ads.

 

[Orang Utan]

you can listen for free, but it's almost completely intolerable cos of the ads. So it's not free, unless you like listening to ads

Think I’ll live without it.

 

[Ax^]

rogan can drop dead in the next few minutes and i'd think good fucking asshat

Norm will be slight more missed just to his body of work
which now that i looked it up appears to be mostly adam sandler movies

maybe not that big of a loss

rip fella anyways

 

[danny la rouge]

I don't know Norm Macdonald at all, but someone posted this sketch and it's funny as fuck

I didn’t find that at all funny. I found the delivery very off-putting too. This is the first I’ve heard of this guy, though, so maybe I’m missing context.

It’s sad that he’s died though.

I’m not familiar with any of the people on this thread, except Louis CK, but only because he was in Parks and Rec and then got famous for forcing people to watch him wank, fucking weirdo. Not sure how I ended up on this thread really.

Yeah, I wasn’t keen on that one either.

This one is my favourite, you may not like it either but the whole bit gets me every time.

He’s at his best doing Burt Reynolds on the Jeopardy skit on SNL or Weekend Update on SNL.
This is him on Letterman after he got fired for not being funny. I really rate him.

[Dom Traynor]

Norm is quite marmite. I love his delivery and writing. The pauses, the little looks at the audience and the banal repetition and tangents. He's just a natural story teller.

It's fine for listening to podcasts - no ads, or maybe one block of ads in a 3 hour podcast.

 

[Orang Utan]

“3 hour podcast” of a cunt spouting shit - no thanks

 

[maomao]

All the I heart radio podcasts on Spotify have ads (mostly for other podcasts tbf) even if you do subscribe.

Maomao posted a helpful summary a few pages back:

So conclusions on the names in the title.

1) Louis CK - sex case
2) Joe Rogan - boring, history of racist and homophobic language, regularly gives platforms to the absolute worst kind of people
3) Norm MacDonald - Jobbing comedian, very funny, stuck up for CK and Roseanne Barr but has kept his mouth shut since.
4) Nick Mullen - Who the fuck is Nick Mullen? Surely it's his turn now.

In case anyone's wondering, the Cum Town guy is definitely a proper prick as well.

Also, somehow I still keep thinking Norm MacDonald is the character from Cheers, no matter how much of this thread I read.

 

[Dom Traynor]

Yep. Nearly all the podcasts have a few ads and that's fine.

 

[Dom Traynor]

Norm is sometimes lumped in with the others because he was clearly a Republican of some sort, or at least on the right while claiming to be apolitical. Never heard a single bad story about him though or actual racism, misogyny etc. Not that I'm aware of - he seems to have been pretty popular across the spectrum.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Thinking about it, they often do have some plugging. I'll listen to Tim Ferriss if he has someone interesting on, and he plugs stuff at the beginning. But easy just to forward on.

No, nothing sorry. Although he comes across as very likeable. However, someone on Twitter finally posted a routine I like:

 

[Dom Traynor]

"Hitler didn't drink Tequila. It made him mean".

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

RIP Norm.
I haven't seen him be all that funny for a few years, but I have very much enjoyed his work in the past.
Bummer.

 

[Elpenor]

Always liked his Burt Reynolds impression in celebrity jeopardy. Never watched Cheers, a bit young for that. 61 is no age.

Acast is better cos you can skip through the ads and it doesn’t have Joe Rogan on it

Norm Mcdonald wasn’t in Cheers, you may be thinking of the character Norm, played by George Wendt, who’s still going strong

I must be. Cheers!

Tbh Spotify has never even recommended Rogan to me. I assume because i am not a bedwetter
