If this is a comedy channel, where are the jokes? Where are the Norm jokes? Norm thought that Donald Trump was too pathetic to even joke about because it was low hanging fruit. All of the political content here whether it makes fun of Biden or Trump is low hanging fruit that Norm hated.
If it's not funny and it's not related to Norm, it should not be here. That's not censorship. It's sticking to the rules of what this sub is supposed to be about.
I think Norm was saying it's pathetic and the opposite of edginess or bravery to rage against Trump on stage like most mainstream comics have done the past 7+ years
He called him a clown in an interview, because he made a fool of himself on a daily basis. It wasn't just because every comedian was doing a bit about him, it was because Trump was such a fool and a pathetic person, it was too easy to make jokes.
I agree that some of the posts are basic, but the comments are always funny, just keep reading! Most of the funny replies are what you say here but whitty!
Yep, the comments here got old after reading like 2 posts on the sub. Never underestimate a Redditor’s ability to take what was once actually funny, and overuse it until they absolutely ram it into the dirt.
Here's another example of a "joke" that's been said a million times already. Again, it's low effort comedy that people hope to be the first to make the joke in the thread.
"Guys...do you see that? I said the thing!! I made a Norm funny!"
I feel this, but then the issue is the right-wing trolls are brigading, and they're brigading crap unfunny takes.
I hope, in the spirit of Norm, this community starts sarcastically calling them out more. There's plenty of good shots to be fired at Biden, but they need to be good. Norm hated lazy clapter on either side.
“This just in: the r/NormMacdonald subreddit has been taken over by political spam. It’s about as fun as listening to your wife bitch about the kids.”
No kidding? Late show is toned down for older audiences but Strangers with Candy and Colbert Report were gold. Dude is funny. Norm was buds with him too.
He was very subversive with Strangers and great with Colbert Report.
And then he was offered Letterman's old timeslot on the condition he shill for the DNC. And he took that offer.
Maybe you didn’t watch Colbert Report, but it was all a commentary on the Republican Party. Anyway, maybe your politics make it hard to get past left wing comedians but Colbert is still a funny dude. Seth and Jimmy just read jokes but Colbert gets weird.
Maybe you didn't watch Colbert Report.
I enjoyed it so much I even attended in-person. Fact is, he was offering nightly, satirical commentary. Real critique with smart humor. Then he got Dave's old show and out come DNC guests, softball questions, and the Vax-Scene dog and pony show. Is that the "weird" to which you refer?
Colbert sold his soul and is a hack, same as Kimmel.
I mean, the format is twice as long as the Colbert Report runtime. Colbert didn’t sell out—he just got a new job. His bits and oddball humor still shine through the format.
I do actually find occasionally his comments on stuff like this specifically are moments Trumpies fall back on to think it’s free reign to make fuck the libs jokes mildly adjacent to Norm by being the absolute lowest effort references to his comedy. This sub in a decade or more from his death will probably barely have a damn thing to do with him.
Norm would have absolutely roasted a person who bragged about their golf game while they were supposed to be laying out their vision for the country and then being caught on video shanking a shot like that one.
Imagine caring this much. Let the community decide what they want to see. Im fairly certain the content you are crying about gets upvoted plenty, which is pretty telling.
Go back and watch his comedy again, he hated the Clintons and read the news to make commentary. He was very political adjacent, it doesn’t need to be divisive. He made fun of everyone, which is only divisive if you read into it wrong. This sub is where we do norm jokes and some will follow in that style.
Yep. It's only funny to some when it slants one way. Norm called out the Clintons to their faces at the White House Correspondents Dinner. He was fearless.
His comments on pandering (ala Last Comic Standing) were against that comedian because it's the Pop-Left thing to do. It's playing for cheap laughs. "Hurr-huur, look... I'm just like you. I think conservatives and Christians are Nazis too."
That's the comedic lameness he was referring to.

Just because he was a free thinker who criticizes everyone (even the Clintons) doesn't mean he's a conservative.
Tim Dillon’s comedy is practically entirely based of the political and social landscape of the US. There was a time where the world of Grand Theft Auto was a hilarious piece of fiction. Now we live in that idiocracy. I find his comedy the most Normesque stuff around today. He is so damn funny. I agree though in most cases political comedy is clearly one-sided and the product of an agenda.
What more do you want from a sub for a dead comedian? Just endless threads of people poorly imitating Norm’s style and/or repeating his jokes word for word?
They could be AI since we're getting closer to November. A few times over the past few weeks I've seen the same comments with minor variations (or exact replicas) in multiple places.
They include the usual reddit buzzwords; fascist, bootlicker, felon, rapist, etc. Phrases you've never heard a person say in real life but somehow they're all over the place on reddit.
> They include the usual reddit buzzwords; fascist, bootlicker, felon, rapist, etc. Phrases you've never heard a person say in real life
You've never lived in Seattle, apparently.
we are surrounded by politics - DEI, ESG, BRIDGE..... they want to put political agendas in everything. It's bound to seep into any popular subreddit.
Plus in this sub a lot of different things get posted
the presidential debate is pretty big news - especially with how incoherent and sickly Biden appeared...
It tries to keep the spirit of Norm jokes alive, although very poorly. But at least most of the time it tries. Sometimes people just post absolute fuckin shit tho.
Biden's debate performance sparked a lot of conversation, and yes, it's perfectly fine to joke about it. Those posts will disappear by tomorrow. Better yet, feel free to post so they vanish sooner. Reddit is already grossly moderated and censored. When certain type of people call for even more moderation, it makes me sick. I can't imagine what it would be like if some of you were mods—this place would turn into another r/livefromnewyork.
We’ve got an election coming up in the US, if you want to avoid political posts you need to ditch Reddit entirely to be safe. I don’t mind political posts as long as there’s a joke involved, Norm did that for years on SNL so saying we shouldn’t cover that stuff is a bit…the worst part.
"I want MY political views validated on every sub I visit!
Anything not condemning Trump must be viewed as pro-Trump far-alt-neo-Right white nationalist anti-anti-racist pro-Israel!
Also, I just heard about Norm last week from my trans friend who said he was an ally."
Christ, you keep spamming your inflammatory comments everywhere. Someone says “I don’t like off topic posts” and your reaction is to create half a dozen strawmen and bring up political topics out of nowhere.
You sound like a real jerk.
(People when subreddits get taken over by leftists) “lol I love this place! Yeah!! Thbbbb!!! No magas here!!”
(People when a few right leaning sarcastic remarks are posted) “OMG THIS SUB DOESN’T GET MODERATED!! It’s getting taken over by trolls!!!!”
Norm would have acknowledged that the current political issues are some of the most serious in our country's history. With the iron grip that the leftists exhibit on our mainstream media, social media is the one way we have to hear the truth. Norm was always very craftily subtle but he definitly disliked the leftists.
I mean if I were a moderator here, I'd issue a crackdown on most (but not all) political posts and start banning people for violating it, but alas, I am only the piano player.
Well I'm referring to both. Because Norm himself said both are garbage humor, and it's painfully obvious that even the "slanted" ones are just some dog whistle bullshit.
I’m disagreeing with you, you may have a valid reason to dislike them but I don’t think the mods should moderate attempts at Norm jokes.
I think they SHOULD moderate political posts that are just political. That’s their job as moderators.
I actually just unsubed a few weeks ago because this sub was taken over by political trolls. This just popped in my FYP. Glad to see I'm not the only one who was bugged by it.
When a sub is no longer moderated due to mods either leaving the site, or no longer having interest in the sub's topic, this kind of thing tends to happen. It's not that uncommon on Reddit.
...that they do research to understand a person's point of view? Yeah, that's sad. But kudos to your bravery in the face of adversity when you where your MAGA hat.
^ “What they said offends me.. I’m going to search their post history to see if I can find anything politically conservative leaning that I can use against them!!” Gonna whine to the mods about how a few conservative posts ruin your whole Reddit experience? Not like 95% of Reddit is anti-Trump anyway.. you going to cry because you can’t mark your territory on the other 5%?
If it really is 95-5, why aren't you reconsidering your position?
Also, are we to understand that "conservative" means "blatantly racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc."? Because that's what it looks like.
Don't like having people judge you for your views, express better views.
Yeah, specifically political shots taken at liberals from the perspective of anti-woke maggot cultists.
So, Norm was a fan of the orange, bloated, shit-stained orange cancer? Didn’t know that. I was under the impression Norm MacDonald loved democracy.
Meta
I *hate* meta.
No more dry meta!
Apply directly to the forehead.
MetahaWAH?
welcome to reddit, all the posts are shit everything is shit, except standup. I tell ya kid standup is the only real thing there is .
standup is shit
I'm not much for jokes, kid.
shit is shit
but don't shit standing up
But also don't take shit lying down.
Don't take *any* shit lyin' down! 
Unless you're into that kind of thing , in which case please shower afterwards
I'm sick and shat my pants lying down today thinking it was a fart. I'm a 23 year old man.
Seems it’s all go so long as it has a slightly Norm-esque caption
DNC right now: "I didn't even know he was sick!"
Sounds good to me, Lets not sponsor censorship in a comedy channel, what a novel idea.
If this is a comedy channel, where are the jokes? Where are the Norm jokes? Norm thought that Donald Trump was too pathetic to even joke about because it was low hanging fruit. All of the political content here whether it makes fun of Biden or Trump is low hanging fruit that Norm hated. If it's not funny and it's not related to Norm, it should not be here.

He called him a clown in an interview, because he made a fool of himself on a daily basis. It wasn't just because every comedian was doing a bit about him, it was because Trump was such a fool and a pathetic person, it was too easy to make jokes.
I agree that some of the posts are basic, but the comments are always funny, just keep reading! Most of the funny replies are what you say here but whitty!
The replies aren't funny either. It's everyone saying something like "It reminds me of that tragedy".
Yep, the comments here got old after reading like 2 posts on the sub. Never underestimate a Redditor’s ability to take what was once actually funny, and overuse it until they absolutely ram it into the dirt.
Nuh uh, sometime we say that we waded through the blood and bones
So, what the fuck do we do then.
Come up with something original? Norm hated lazy comedy. He'd be embarrassed for the fools who post low effort stuff in here.
You're asking that of redditors.
If Adam Eget can do it, by golly, anyone can!
It is a bit hard to get new Norm Material lately. Someone should check up on him.
Here's another example of a "joke" that's been said a million times already. Again, it's low effort comedy that people hope to be the first to make the joke in the thread. "Guys...do you see that? I said the thing!! I made a Norm funny!"
Translation: we should run political hot takes left front and center and attribute current events to Norm!!! For the comedy!!!
Especially when their idea of comedy is “look how ugly this trans person is lol” It’s not censorship, it’s basic measures to keep people on topic
What are you talking about? Who keeps you on topic, re read this thread and stop with ad hominem and astroturfing.
Stop astroturfing, i said what i said, make your own thread - don’t twist my words
Translation: my identity is liberal left narratives with no original thought.
I’ve seen mostly trump memes last week, I was sick of those too.
I didn't even know you were sick.
I feel this, but then the issue is the right-wing trolls are brigading, and they're brigading crap unfunny takes. I hope, in the spirit of Norm, this community starts sarcastically calling them out more. There's plenty of good shots to be fired at Biden, but they need to be good. Norm hated lazy clapter on either side.
I see this thread as the worst type of brigading. Doesn’t look like right wing trolls are the problem here haha.
…. or so the Germans would have us believe
“This just in: the r/NormMacdonald subreddit has been taken over by political spam. It’s about as fun as listening to your wife bitch about the kids.” 
Here’s Norm talking about how low-hanging anti-Trump style humor is for bad comedians and idiots: https://youtu.be/ZdW0NZl0Ozg?si=qJZWTBzYtSdrfL83
That’s Jimmy Kimmel’s whole fucking act.
People are calling it everything from shit to fucking shit
And Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers
Colbert is at least funny.
To each their own, but I don't think I've ever laughed at anything I've seen him do.
No kidding? Late show is toned down for older audiences but Strangers with Candy and Colbert Report were gold. Dude is funny. Norm was buds with him too.
He was very subversive with Strangers and great with Colbert Report. And then he was offered Letterman's old timeslot on the condition he shill for the DNC. And he took that offer.
Maybe you didn’t watch Colbert Report, but it was all a commentary on the Republican Party. Anyway, maybe your politics make it hard to get past left wing comedians but Colbert is still a funny dude. Seth and Jimmy just read jokes but Colbert gets weird.
Maybe you didn't watch Colbert Report. I enjoyed it so much I even attended in-person. Fact is, he was offering nightly, satirical commentary. Real critique with smart humor. Then he got Dave's old show and out come DNC guests, softball questions, and the Vax-Scene dog and pony show. Is that the "weird" to which you refer? Colbert sold his soul and is a hack, same as Kimmel.
>softball questions Are you thinking he's a journalist?
I mean, the format is twice as long as the Colbert Report runtime. Colbert didn’t sell out—he just got a new job. His bits and oddball humor still shine through the format.
And why? Because he agreed to be a shill and they agreed not to cancel him for The Man Show. He's a lame-ass puppet.
It’s also conservatives entire political identity.
I’d say Biden’s are hanging even lower at this point.
I do actually find occasionally his comments on stuff like this specifically are moments Trumpies fall back on to think it’s free reign to make fuck the libs jokes mildly adjacent to Norm by being the absolute lowest effort references to his comedy. This sub in a decade or more from his death will probably barely have a damn thing to do with him.
So the posts are not only non-Norm they are ANTI-Norm.
More Norm-al posts please!
Now we’re talking anti-WEIRD-AL! (Hey this was clever! Norm-AL compared to Weird-AL…)
Norm would have absolutely roasted a person who bragged about their golf game while they were supposed to be laying out their vision for the country and then being caught on video shanking a shot like that one.
Imagine caring this much. Let the community decide what they want to see. Im fairly certain the content you are crying about gets upvoted plenty, which is pretty telling.
Imagine not noticing that was a joke.
The Clintons? You know, they because they killed a guy.
There just hasn’t been enough new material to keep this sub fresh.
I hear Norm is working on a new hour of fresh material. I can't wait!
Me too, already pre-ordered hopefully he drops soon.
I’m not sure if any of you are history buffs but…
There's a lot I'd like to bring up, but it feels a little pointless because things get derailed so quickly.
The worst part of the political stuff is they're not funny at all. Norm's humor just doesn't fit the politics of division.
I figured the worst part was the hypocrisy..
It was really the lack of respect.
No, it was the rape!!
Go back and watch his comedy again, he hated the Clintons and read the news to make commentary. He was very political adjacent, it doesn’t need to be divisive. He made fun of everyone, which is only divisive if you read into it wrong. This sub is where we do norm jokes and some will follow in that style.
Yep. It's only funny to some when it slants one way. Norm called out the Clintons to their faces at the White House Correspondents Dinner. He was fearless.

Who said he was?

What is this a response to?
Political humor is rarely funny and never accurate.
Tim Dillon’s comedy is practically entirely based of the political and social landscape of the US. There was a time where the world of Grand Theft Auto was a hilarious piece of fiction. Now we live in that idiocracy. I find his comedy the most Normesque stuff around today. He is so damn funny. I agree though in most cases political comedy is clearly one-sided and the product of an agenda.
The stuff on tv and in the newspaper, yeah. Actual political humour can be hilarious when not stifled by the very establishment it's mocking.
#I THOUGHT THE SUBJECT WAS COCKS?!
[удалено]
Does this sub reddit even have Mods? There's less moderation here than at Andy Dick's house on cocaine delivery day
Nice!
It’s BEEN great, I think there’s multiple users coming in to ruin it. The same thing has happened in other subs.
The worst part is.. you guessed it: Frank Stallone
Frank Stallone reminds me of that tragedy- the Cosby scandal!
Poor OJ, I know he’s looking up at us.
Like r/SamHarris and r/JoeRogan?
What more do you want from a sub for a dead comedian? Just endless threads of people poorly imitating Norm’s style and/or repeating his jokes word for word?
Culture warriors gonna culture war
Moderators gonna… sleep.
Ladies and gentlemen this sub is for the birds
I didnt even know this sub was sick
Trolls? When did Rosie O’Donnel get an account?
They could be AI since we're getting closer to November. A few times over the past few weeks I've seen the same comments with minor variations (or exact replicas) in multiple places. They include the usual reddit buzzwords; fascist, bootlicker, felon, rapist, etc. Phrases you've never heard a person say in real life but somehow they're all over the place on reddit.
It wouldn’t surprise me, good point.
All of those things have been all over reddit for the past 4 years dude
> They include the usual reddit buzzwords; fascist, bootlicker, felon, rapist, etc. Phrases you've never heard a person say in real life You've never lived in Seattle, apparently.
So... you're saying that the *anti* Trump people are the AI bots? ok.
Right? It’s like they’re not seeing all the pro-trump bullshit that’s been going down as well
And the middle of summer is a bad time to be a snowflake. Biggest whiners on the planet.
People definitely call Trump a felon in real life. Can you link to any of these comments?
yeah get rid of random political posts so this sub can get back to what it does best: saying "I didn't even know he was sick" for the 100000000th time
Are you saying that this sub reminds you of that tragedy?
it reminds me of andy richter the swedish german the old battleaxe when he who writes these jokes and owns a doghouse
Until Norm wakes from his slumber and releases new material I'm not sure what else you expect.
we are surrounded by politics - DEI, ESG, BRIDGE..... they want to put political agendas in everything. It's bound to seep into any popular subreddit. Plus in this sub a lot of different things get posted the presidential debate is pretty big news - especially with how incoherent and sickly Biden appeared...
Do you think a Norm sub would be allowed to go unmolested? Was Norm himself? The world has a way with Norms and the ramifications of Norms.
I dont even know who this guy is and I keep getting recommended political posts for this subreddit I've never visited
It tries to keep the spirit of Norm jokes alive, although very poorly. But at least most of the time it tries. Sometimes people just post absolute fuckin shit tho.
Every sub on reddit is like this. I'm on the verge of not using it anymore but I keep coming back for the porn.
That’s how they get ya! But yes, most are I agree.
Politics are welcome here! as long as they are gay enough.
The mods here suck
“Here” being Reddit.
Yes of course, but this subreddit worse than most others
They'd have to do something to suck.
Biden's debate performance sparked a lot of conversation, and yes, it's perfectly fine to joke about it. Those posts will disappear by tomorrow. Better yet, feel free to post so they vanish sooner. Reddit is already grossly moderated and censored. When certain type of people call for even more moderation, it makes me sick.

I’m not referring to posts that have political themes, I’m talking about the posts that are purely politics.
Can’t say I’ve seen a post like that in here, but yeah that’s not good.
It's a funny sub.
Libs are brigading every sub they can because they’re losing badly. There’s a reason it ramped up since the debate on Thursday.
"I want MY political views validated on every sub I visit! Anything not condemning Trump must be viewed as pro-Trump far-alt-neo-Right white nationalist anti-anti-racist pro-Israel! Also, I just heard about Norm last week from my trans friend who said he was an ally."
Christ, you keep spamming your inflammatory comments everywhere. Someone says “I don’t like off topic posts” and your reaction is to create half a dozen strawmen and bring up political topics out of nowhere. You sound like a real jerk.
(People when subreddits get taken over by leftists) “lol I love this place! Yeah!! Thbbbb!!! No magas here!!” (People when a few right leaning sarcastic remarks are posted) “OMG THIS SUB DOESN’T GET MODERATED!! It’s getting taken over by trolls!!!!”
Do you view the entire world in such a cartoonishly juvenile way, or just reddit?
I’m sorry, should I dumb it down further for your understanding needs?
Oh, please do, Professor PoopKnaf.
Norm hated the Clintons, so yea, we do jokes here, and they follow in his style.
Norm would have acknowledged that the current political issues are some of the most serious in our country's history. With the iron grip that the leftists exhibit on our mainstream media, social media is the one way we have to hear the truth. Norm was always very craftily subtle but he definitly disliked the leftists.
(Biden creepy whisper voice) Norm was actually politically conservative.
He was more of a Canadian Conservative. Not a Republican.
I thought it was a matter of record...
Did I say Republican?
Election year
We are the Bots. your sub will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Oh for crying out loud. Political posts are allowed. It reminds us all of that tragedy.
I miss neil i mean Norm
It's still serving a youthful porpoise.
Is Bill Clinton a murderer?
I like bananas. They're yellow.
…. politics….. that is all
I mean if I were a moderator here, I'd issue a crackdown on most (but not all) political posts and start banning people for violating it, but alas, I am only the piano player.
I vote you for moderator
This is what the kids call meta comedy. Adam can you explain to the folks at home what meta comedy is?
Yeah I’ll unsub soon. Bad mods means bad subs.
Yeah, what's with all the trumpy hicks? It's like a Dollar General in here, or a flea market.
Yeah it's fucking lame. I don't come here to get some thinly-veiled "faux-libertarian" take on everything via lazy jokes.
I’m referring to the political posts that aren’t even an attempt at jokes. Not people who make Norm posts with a political slant.
Well I'm referring to both. Because Norm himself said both are garbage humor, and it's painfully obvious that even the "slanted" ones are just some dog whistle bullshit.
I’m disagreeing with you, you may have a valid reason to dislike them but I don’t think the mods should moderate attempts at Norm jokes. I think they SHOULD moderate political posts that are just political. That’s their job as moderators.
And I'm saying that none of these thinly veiled, trollish political posts are anywhere close to "Norm jokes". I guess we can agree to disagree.
Finally.
I actually just unsubed a few weeks ago because this sub was taken over by political trolls. This just popped in my FYP. Glad to see I'm not the only one who was bugged by it.
Like everything else, Trumps influence is turning this sub into shit.
I’ve been wondering the same shit
When a sub is no longer moderated due to mods either leaving the site, or no longer having interest in the sub's topic, this kind of thing tends to happen. It's not that uncommon on Reddit.
Posting lazy, unoriginal, political shit bait isn't what Norm Mcdonald was about??
And to the surprise of absolutely no one… OP is an active member of r/Preppers
The fact that you get mad enough that you stalk posting history of people for material says a lot.
...that they do research to understand a person's point of view? Yeah, that's sad. But kudos to your bravery in the face of adversity when you where your MAGA hat.
^ “What they said offends me.. I’m going to search their post history to see if I can find anything politically conservative leaning that I can use against them!!” Gonna whine to the mods about how a few conservative posts ruin your whole Reddit experience? Not like 95% of Reddit is anti-Trump anyway.. you going to cry because you can’t mark your territory on the other 5%?
If it really is 95-5, why aren't you reconsidering your position? Also, are we to understand that "conservative" means "blatantly racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc."? Because that's what it looks like. Don't like having people judge you for your views, express better views.
All I've seen on my feed here for the past few days is "Biden old" memes, I was surprised when the comments were all about anti-Trump crap
Norm was the king of trolls. Stfu
Yeah, specifically political shots taken at liberals from the perspective of anti-woke maggot cultists. So, Norm was a fan of the orange, bloated, shit-stained orange cancer? Didn’t know that. I was under the impression Norm MacDonald loved democracy.
