Norm on the Larry Sanders Show

[CourtneyxCourtney95]

it was controversial, that is why it was a big deal, correct? I mean it has so many curse words! No wonder (if it is on television still) it is on late.

[bongo155]

@ProWrestlingRewind No, its only the show that has largely influenced shows like The Office, Modern Family, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development etc. You could say its been one of the most influential TV sitcoms in the last 20 years ... Canadian talk show ...

[ttt8699]

Norm has a really BAD habit of saying, "ya know". 10 times in just the first 39 seconds! Very distracting.

[gordonchalupa]

@ttt8699 shut up

[ttt8699]

@gordonchalupa Back atcha...ya know!

[Davetacular45]

Its an old American sitcom with Garry Shandling playing a talk show host, but its not a real talk show.

[DominoRyder]

Aw poor Fonzie

[iownallnoobs]

lol his children loved news update

[twistedexperiment]

You can't just bang a jukebox and go: ihhhhhhh

[squeegieman]

Nice to see Jeffery Tambor and Henry Winkler together years before Arrested Development.

[tvpirate05]

@squeegieman In the mid-80s the two also worked together on a sitcom called "Mr. Sunshine". It featured Tambor as a blind professor, but didn't last too long.

[WriterJohnC]

This was one of the funniest shows on TV. I remember this being a big deal at the time, because cable didn't have any hit shows. I used to watch this and Tales From the Crypt.

[jcfbell3001]

i love how 'larry sanders' just lets norm do his thing without trying to show how much funnier he is than norm...that what letterman used to be so good at.

[paddedpencil]

i need a time machine so i can go back and bang the norm macdonald in this episode

[jwill5587]

You cut out the end where Henry Winkler says "Then why is he so upset?"

[mattd687]

Hank looks like Dr.Phil

[LordCard]

Youtubers I am really sorry, but who is the guy in the Stache. I REALLY thought it was Dr. Phil. I am not kidding, and it was freaking me out. Since it is not Dr. Phil, who the hell is this guy?

[grandmasterbeaner]

@LordCard

Jeffrey Tambor. aka George Bluth from Arrested Development............

[DKP4]

"That's some kind of hog he's got on him"

[Polyfusia]

Garry Shandling is creepy as fuck.

[juffan]

Thats a bit from Norm's stand up

[DarkShadowMegadeth]

Wow! He looks really sexy here!! :D

[imajeepster]

the best episode...hank's tape!!!

[DrewBludd]

years before Arrested Development.

[guyinfl99]

I love how everyone calls Henry Winkler the fonz.

[Patral521]

"They cant charge a husband and wife for the same crime"

[hameed]

kudos to IFC for picking this show up, as well as freaks and geeks, undeclared etc

[konatown5]

@hameed no way! fucking tops

[hameed]

@konatown5 yea way, its usually on at night but they have occasional marathons on some weeekends. GREAT STUFF.

[Lostgates]

was this a sitcom at one point?? this looks great. i wanna buy it.

[loungelizard5000]

@Lostgates Are you serious ? This show was on for 6 years !

[santamariashark]

THEN WHY'S HE SO UPSET ?!?

[chrish12345]

i remember this, they cut out the punchline at the end when Fonzy says 'then whys he so upset?'

[chrish12345]

im drunk lol

[wuzcloopin]

George Bluth and his attorney Barry Zuckercorn.

[AndNoted]

Is there an interview where norm is NOT funny?

[coachbird1]

"He's very good"

[juffan]

"I got the worst fuckin' attorneys"

[SethHesio]

Great clip but you left out the last line...

[cuckoo4coccopuffs]

You missed off the punchline!!!

[gumbess]

norm's got a utube ch lol. norm macdonald official teehee.

[themack355]

Larry Sanders is one ugly motherfucker

[gumbess]

@themack355 larry is not ugly! he's just funny lookin' & so was his show ;). but of course norm is the man!!!

[MOYOwaBANTU]

"longest walk in the world"

[tremer88]

larry sanders was wasted on conan awhile back

[PepeLeWunderkind]

@tremer88 it's gary shandling assclown.

[santamariashark]

does anyone know where to find the episode with the "kung fu sketch" on it ?

[Alirezajazayeri]

hahaha i can do this by myself...

[aweiss]

haha I can do this by myself

[3rdcoastnyucka]

That's exactly how Norm probably talks off camera.

[Deelucky84]

I guess you were homeless at one point?? I've heard the homeless use news paper for insulation in cold days of winter, is this true???

[kiminokami]

Get a sense of humor.

[gorillabelly1]

Oh, of course! Everyone MUST conform to YOUR brand of humour or they're humourless. I'll get right on that.

[andrewcramer13]

you all are watching a video featuring the funniest comedian on earth: norm macdonald, whose signature joke involves crack whores, yet you find my comment too offensive.

what the fuck

now that I'm crying I might as well pull out my grandmas life size card board cut out of obama eating billy may's COLD DEAD ASS HOLE and furiously masturbate my HARD and GREASY J shaped penis statue as tears of liquid french toast roll down my crooked asian w/ down syndrome face

peace my niggaz

[Deelucky84]

That was nice!!

[bjwiebe123]

well said

[timbulb]

J shaped? you should see a doctor.

[FendRhodes]

Cool

[opannefrank]

haha, dude, i found another one. You are on a roll.

[universalstudioslove]

LMFAO!

[MEpianist]

I love this dude, looks so fresh-faced here too.

I wish he'd get another show.

[biggerdouchebagjones]

I know. Gary Shandling is amazing!! ;)

[CelticXuptheRA]

lmao

[djHaQ]

woah rip torn

[catrod24]

I love you, Norm.

[jan1991]

i think his voice sounds like john frusciante in the interviews

[vai82]

yeah!

[CodeOuch]

he looks like dr. phil!

[guanaco103]

thats what i thought too but its actualy jeffrey tambor from Arrested development

[PepeLeWunderkind]

@CodeOuch Dr. Phil looks like him. assclown

[562ole]

@CodeOuch i think he play dr phil on snl or on mad tv, well did, and he does look alot like him, i thought it was dr phil at first

[juffan]

sorry, what is this?

whats it from?

[zero99332003]

It's from an old HBO show called the Larry Sanders Show.

[jesoby]

brilliant show - could never understand why it was shown at such a late hour in the UK; maybe they thought it was too clever for mainstream audiences used to Men behaving Badly and similar juvenile rubbish.

[firestartertwistedfi]

yes, i remember it was a struggle to stay up for it always.

[beyond1970]

I agree.  This is the perfect comedy. People talk about The Office, but it can't touch this.

[funkdragon23]

Larry Sanders is about the funniest show ever broadcast. This clip is indicative of just how great it was. And will someone PLEASE get Norm MacDonald back on TV? The man is hysterical and so, so talented.

[thaloudest]

It's a great show - funnier than (and inspired) The Office. Try to watch this show by any means you can.

[45init]

Murder?

[Ryanrre45]

yes...murder!

[590135002]

This Larry Sanders show looks pretty badasss. Whatever happened to it?

[thegreatsamurai82]

ran its series with 9 seasons on HBO, season one is on dvd and a best of set.

[walkathon]

6 seasons, FYI, and yeah, one of the greatest shows ever.

[kblixt]

Only the commercial stuff is scipted but the the on the air stuff isn't.

[TomFromJersey]

The first 4 seconds really scare me!

[lukkyan]

norm's awesome!!

[sainters7]

haha Hank and the Fonz, I love it. Who'd know that only a few years later, he'd be Hank's attorney?

[livardo]

"Actually, my life is shit"

[that1guy777]

lol norm's last line

[a2b4c6d8]

Was this all scripted or not? Not just the behind the show scenes, but also the live taping of the show, or was the live taping (with Norm and Larry) spontaneous, or unrehearsed?

[SugarKowalczyk88]

It was all scripted.  In fact most of what you see on real late night shows is also loosely scripted.

[taffina123]

Larry Sanders is a show that was a parody of Late Night shows.

[idiotflesh]

It's "you're". I love it when people make grammar mistakes when insulting other people's usage of the language.

[EchoCannon89]

yeah he must of been retarted, your right!!!

[livardo]

You can't just bang a juke box and go ee eeee ee

[drkatz33]

you cut out the punch line.... henry winkler replies to Norm "so why is he so upset?"

[tccbucket]

Love the clips... but would someone PLEASE... post a clip with the music that played while the credits were running. Greatest theme music ever. Yeah.

[brettshears]

He sounds like Death from Family guy. when it's really adam carola

[J90shero]

No way... Are you sure?????????????

[brettshears]

Yup, I'm a family guy fan, check the credits

[darkhawk07]

Actually Norm was the voice of death for the 1st few seasons, but now Adam Corolla does his voice.

[DevineMagic]

it WAS him... lol now it's corolla

[fartass23]

the second show with death is adam carola, the first (the better one) is norm. " i'm gonna be a virgin for ever! .. unless...."

[NateCartoons]

He sounds more like the guy from the Norm Show.

[smokingfast]

This clip is so fucking funny

[DeimosSaturn]

omg lol

[dhercus]

Someone put some more of the Larry Sanders show up!

[jackisback1967]

it's like you knew norm was gonna say something like that at the end, but it's still so damn funny

[BustedHead]

the dog bit is funny and thats what comedians do-they have a routine

[MASH1983]

lol Artie is the man

[biggestNormfan]

My Lord! Norm was so young then! He was downright good-looking. What the hell happened to him?

[yourtwine]

that show was hilarious! Love the show...do u have the episode with David Letterman?
