Damn, if this is real, it's yet more proof that Norm hid the mind of a brilliant poet beneath his comedy.
Tbh, I was never a fan of his comedy. A little too flat for me. But the guy was so smart and kind, it's no wonder everyone that knew him loved him.
There's a reason why he's considered the comedian's comedian. His deadpan delivery is a perfect blend of subverting joke structure and just perfect timing.
I'm on board with that fully. I think the best thing I've ever seen of his is the moth joke.
And, I think part of my view of him was "too flat" was because he works best when he's playing off of someone that gets it. Working just for a camera, or a crowd, he doesn't have the same delivery as he does when it's smaller scale. He's still deadpan, but it's "alive" in a way I'm not sure how to describe.
Obviously, since this came up, I've been casually watching stuff again. And that's the impression I get, that when he's able to play to people rather than a camera or generic crowd, there's something in the way he moves that changes. The stuff that has me laughing like a loon is when he's connected to someone, or a small group, like when he was reading jokes at the roast.
I agree with the other comment, he was the natural successor to the kind of thing Kaufman was so good at. I really just wish I'd seen more of that side of him as a viewer as opposed to the SNL stuff which is a totally different vibe.
the highlights of him co-hosting the youtube awards is a goldmine. i watch it every year
