Loved this moment, from Norm's final episode even. You can tell Norm wrote some of this with Colin, specifically by the use of the word "ridiculous."
I kinda wish that Norm and Colin hosted WU together, that would've been awesome, instead of just Colin on his own. At least Tough Crowd was a great show though.
@RollingOrmond First of all, I am not what you Americans call a "redneck" (if you are American you are probably closer to being one, since most Americans are brainwashed simpletons). Second of all, if you think only rednecks dislike Jews you have much to learn. What do you think the occupy Wallstreet movement is about? What do you think anti-New World Order protests are about? What do you think the whole war against the West is about? Go back to your video games and gadgets you naive consumer.
Norm MacDonald was such a lazy, can't-even-open-his mouth all the way host on Weekend Update, with the same lousy Frank Stallone/crack whore punchline every time. Quinn at least had inventive comebacks.
@RollingOrmond talent in relation to comedy is too subjective for someone to have an opinion on whether a comedian is truly funny or not. However, I can assure you that your opinion of Norm is in a super minority.
Norm and Colin were both so great on the old SNL. "When are we gonna get that beer?" But Norm is such a weird, awesomely un-hip guy, I bet he actually doesn't know who Leonard Cohen is.
@Sydney10abcNorm said what? That he was a ridiculous man? Or that he would come up with a CD called Ridiculous? And may I ask how u would be in the know? Am a big Norm fan as u probably can tell...
@arielrati if you haven't seen it again yet, there's two dailymotion videos called "best of wu with norm macdonald" and a clip of that ferrell scene is in pt 2
@unfortunatebeam Thanks my fiend! I've allways wanted to watch that video again. I watched it for the last time on 2003 in Argentina, and never seen it again until now. But thanks! god bless you....
I have missed this more than you will ever know!! I spent my teenage years adoring these two fellas and ,,,long story short....I had no money- no car- lived in a dump- no jobs available- and all we had was SNL every week.I would give my left tit just to re-live ten minutes of those days. Its the truth. I love these guys a lot. Quinn is the LEGEND!!!!! Thank you for this.
@johnnytastetest Ah I didnt feel like replying to comments tonight. I havent checked in to read them in a while. But.....Norm & Colin are both funny as hell. Quinn was always my personal favorite. Still is. I miss Norm cuz he was just BLUNTLY honest and didnt care. Quinn has that nasally, dry humor that is adorable. I dunno,,,,love em both. But Quinn is the Legend. Best to ya and hope yr years is good so far. "Jen"
Wow, what a shame that you do not appreciate how astoundingly funny Colin Quinn actually is. This is the greatest drunk impersonation I've ever seen; absolutely unrivalled in its subtlety and verisimilitude. It's extraordinary. Colin Quinn is the OPPOSITE of "lame and unfunny." Unfortunately, his talent is lost you people like "corbalt1".
I know I speak for all of us when I say, we just wish you had a higher IQ.
"absolutely unrivalled in its subtlety and verisimilitude"...please don't subject us all to your lonely attempts at playing "I'm a lofty New York Times film critic" make-beleive. Firstly, they spell "unrivalled" correctly. Secondly, they have the good sense to know Colin Quinn is a talentless cunt with the range of a water pistol.
And thirdly, they aren't reduced to make-beleive-critic games on youtube
@slitheringinterstate I spelled 'unrivalled' correctly. Many words have variant spellings, more than one 'correct' spelling, and 'unrivalled' is one such. See the American Heritage College Dictionary, 4th Ed.: "unrivaled OR unrivalled". I'm sorry I used words that are bigger than you're used to; I guess it's like exposing Frankenstein to fire. I should have said, "Colin Quinn drunk impression awesome. Me like." Then, while you wouldn't have agreed with me, you'd've said "He's one of us!"LOL
Your lack of intelligence is embarassing enough. While desperately writing multiple responses for every one I write you is satisfying in how effortlessly I've traumatized your pretty little head, I still hate to see your embarassment compounded by publically confirming your lack of thick skin right on the heels of your vapid-intellect confirmation. You're adorable though; I want to pet you like a lap dog. Some undersexed child clutching at semantical-gotcha. A precious lot. xoxox
@slitheringinterstate The word 'embarrassing' has two ars. And "publically"? Don't you mean "publicly"? Your spelling errors have undermined your credibility. Let's recap: You call me out for spelling when in fact I spelled correctly, whereas you yourself have made multiple egregious spelling errors. You accuse me of wordiness yet your last post is ridiculously wordy and says nothing. Mine have been accurate and incisive; yours have been absurd and vulgar personal attacks. I'm done w/you.
2 more responses for my 1; having you on such an amusing psychological string is deeply satisfying. Here, I'll make your laughably mediocre IQ blow a gasket in its attempt to keep up with semantical triviality.
Z207, U r knot vary smartt. I am the bedder speler owt of the too of us. You can trie to fynd speling arrors in my righting but u will knot b abel too.
@slitheringinterstate Wow my mind blew a gasket when you used semantical triviality in a sentence. That's even worse than verisimilitude. That was a viscous fight btw. Colin is a funny guy in my opinion but to each there own. I don't think he's exactly known for his characters, and this is a good example. But he's a funny guy at roasts and supposedly an incredibly talented comedy writer. More stream of consciousness as a stand up, as opposed to his roasting. Not every ones thing.
@slitheringinterstate The modern field of intelligence testing began with the Stanford-Binet test. It is worth noting that Alfred Binet, who created the IQ test in 1904, was aiming to identify students who could benefit from extra help in school: his assumption was that lower IQ indicated the need for more teaching, not an inability to learn. Indeed, this interpretation is still held by modern experts. A popular modern IQ test is the Raven's progressive matrices test
@slitheringinterstate BTW it's spelled "make-believe critic" and not "make-beleive-critic". You reversed the "ie" in "believe," and you incorrectly hyphenated "beleive"[sic] and "critic". The two words should not be hyphenated; only "make-believe" should. You're welcome.
@ub3rskillz I watched the scene you're talking about. It's not even close to Colin's. I don't know why/how your comment got 20 thumbs up. People are dumb, I guess.
@ub3rskillz first lahey is gay, though quinn could do all that lahey did without being a fag, so can leary, and stewart they all had their day, Remember george carlin I bet, Norm McDonald is a beast
need the rest of this clip, i think colin starts calling norm and weekend update bush league. they did a scripted reenactment a few weeks later that was lame.
@corbalt1 Ask any stand up comic working, Who's the funniest comedian out there? 9 times out of 10 they'll say Colin Quinn. You don' t know shit about comedy. You are also ignorant and retarded if you form your opinion on a guy from a 30 sec clip. Moron
@whb786 I think there would be a much bigger list than 90% Colin Quinn and 10% other guys. Sam Kinnison, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Mitch Hedberg, Rodney Dangerfield and some of the guys older than I can remember are sure to be higher on that list than Colin Quinn for 90% of comedians.
