One more to show why he got fired from SNL and what a cool guy he was.

Nice tribute to Norm Macdonald reprinted here from the WashPo:

Norm Macdonald was Tolstoy in sweatpants - even when he texted you in the middle of the night

One thing Norm Macdonald would have hated, besides dying, is the Deadline story...

He isn’t being mourned in some quarters. I hadn’t heard of him until the other day so no idea how accurate this take is.

he did some pretty dicey stuff, ethnic stuff and "lesbians" stuff.

i liked best his first internet talk show, norm macdonald live. the posting history is odd and anymore the episodes are split between vimeo and youtube. i can recommend the shows with letterman, seinfeld, hader, and bob einstein. lots of inside stories.

One more.

Cancel culture has clearly been cancelled. Louis CK won best spoken word album at the Grammys last night.

The bbc have managed to include a subheading in their article on the awards saying “Avoiding controversy all night”

Hmm, maybe not…

Now there is a guy who should be slapped at an awards show.

Interesting point.

My daughter called him 'the nice cop from parks and rec' the other day when she saw him in something else. . . . "whatever happened to him?"
I think I just said "Scandal"

[BigMoaner]

joe rogan has a good interview style and good format, but unfunny, and often toxic/dangerous.

 

[Ax^]

he a dangerous fuckwit who drags people in shite know sound people who defended him

even with the racist element that popped up recently

 

[BigMoaner]

I never notice the Connect 4 piece shoulder embellishment before.

Been a while since we've seen the genito-political conflation on here.

That most recent Louis ck special is as funny as anything he ever put out tbh

The beginning was awkward and the cheer for the first masturbation reference was disturbing in the circumstances, but yes I was chuckling guiltily round Sainsbury's this morning.

Did he actually wank ON anyone? Serious point. I‘d find it amusing if someone had a habit of wanking in public. I’d run away from them obviously when they were in the act but I’d still find it funny (as long as they weren’t mentally ill or having a crisis). If CK did it intentionally to abuse and offend people then I’m opposed. But if his intention was to amuse then i think it’s an overreaction. But i do work in psychiatry so I’m probably used to weird behaviour more than most.

True enough. Which of us hasn't done that in a park on their own some time?

Well if it’s an expected behaviour and everyone genuinely finds it funny…(…oh Louis’ wanking again…!).

ETA: I wouldn’t do it myself obviously (unless people threw coins).

It sounds like more of a power thing than trying to amuse - he repeatedly asked junior staff members to come to his office and watch him wank.

oops I thought this was the story of the plod knocking one out in the park

please ignore my posts

Well in that case it’s gross (didn’t know that).

how many people do you think that might apply to? And why might they be doing it?
