Norm MacDonald @ Sports Awards, 1998

[carlawon]

You have balls.. I like balls..

[sbtbfanatic]

Norm MacDonald killed at the ESPY's! A lot of those athletes sure do seem uptight. Bill Bradley and Ken Griffey Jr. seem to have sticks up their asses.

[evangrogers]

I can't stop lol'ing at "Senor Crappy"

[evangrogers]

Norm MacDonald is epic.

[dtox12]

Tiger Wood

[RespectProcess]

why did they only show the shots of the stiffs that refused to laugh at a joke?

[heaves12]

That was goddamn hilarious. ken griffey sucks. 

[vambo13257]

@heaves12 Griffey is a little pussy!!

[stevenjm12]

Griffey's reaction at the end is priceless. Norm has some major balls

[ashburn247]

Peyton manning and charles woodson. Wow

[Javeriffic]

what i love so much, is no one can top Norm. no one, he is the best. this one sealed the deal, for me. never a dull moment.

[oneleggoalie]

You can tell from the disapproval in certain expressions the dumbarsed religious-education-disguised-­brainwashing that the athletes are subjected to. Man, this is comedy, and no amount of hypocritical posturing can deny humans to laugh at themselves. OK, maybe only a white man would feel smug about the O.J. joke...

[Marsdevilsvolta]

@oneleggoalie you are looking way to into this man, i think you are the one that needs to lighten up....

[oneleggoalie]

@Marsdevilsvolta ...Can you even read English ? Re-read the post and try to form a coherent comment , then you can attempt to write and spell intelligently. You are either poor black or poor white...that much is obvious.

[Marsdevilsvolta]

@oneleggoalie you are way TO far up your own ass to get what i meant... good luck to you. :)

[oneleggoalie]

@Marsdevilsvolta ...to humour you would be to draw your narrow attention to the fact that Norm was not the focus of our little ramble ; the self-righteous, publicist-controlled, dollar-driven, humourless sports people bore the wrath of our missive. Thank you however, for your good wishes. And we have good reason to be up our won arse....it's a clean, refined, and cultured place compared to where you come from. Cheerio.

[Marsdevilsvolta]

@oneleggoalie "our" do you have multiple personalities? once again you prove that you are way too far up your own ass to understand what i meant by telling you to lighten up. thank you please right another response the last one was very entertaining!!! for someone ripping somebody on leaving an "o" off of "too" i would think "up our won arse" wouldnt be tolerated. i honestly would love to meet a person as crazy as you face to face, but this works too, it makes me remember that im sane.

[oneleggoalie]

@Marsdevilsvolta ...look, just pay attention to the expressions on the faces of these athletes. Hypocrites, Believers, and probably " pro-life ". Lighten up is not an option in these shrivelled times that are dominated by mediocre religious-organization brainwashed masses. Please let us say cheerio...after your last word no less.

[Marsdevilsvolta]

@oneleggoalie .......sigh.......

[DanKWynn]

@oneleggoalie believers? pro-life? like norm you mean?

[oneleggoalie]

@DanKWynn ...yes. will you realize our comment was directed at the hypocrites in the audience. what Norm is or isn't fails to register an iota of interest in us. we enjoy his comedy but find the people...nevermind...can't win with some folks.

[sbtbfanatic]

@oneleggoalie You are an idiot. Why would you dislike an athlete simply for being religious or pro-life?

[oneleggoalie]

@sbtbfanatic ...We dislike religious types who defer to religious organizations. And we seriously dislike hypocrites that cannot laugh at a joke about religious types or themselves. Pro-lifers are always self-righteous when the choice is theirs and not the people it concerns. Thank you.

[carlawon]

Kobe!

[adrianbrennan]

So thats where Ricky Gervais got the idea!!!

[Bigjshifty08]

4:44 rookie peyton manning?????

[ms04m]

This is incredible it's what every comedian should aspire to be, having the guts to say jokes straight to their faces, he knows they wont take it well and he doesn't care, if anything he relishes it

[cwebbiverson]

he got one thing right....the xfl did suck

[jv1333]

He is the best - these athletes cannot laugh at themselves...

[hobocakes]

THE F-ING BEST!!! I wish Norm could host again!

[heatbucspies55]

Norm is like the ultimate comedian. He also has balls.

[rodrigolaguarda]

Norm MacDonald = genius.

[MrHillRoxx]

R.I.P Hideki IRABU

[therealsteamingpile]

I love all the athletes are moaning and shaking their heads, nobody in their life has dared to pick on them so its shocking to them and can feel their hatred

Norm should have gotten a better chance with his show, it was just coming into a flow when they canceled it.

[wallofboingo]

Anthony Mason had some hot sex with the ESPY's last year.... YOWZA

[ItsTheCos]

Lol Boomer Esiason being relevant Lol.

[pepperjack91]

awww man, Griffey looked pissed

[corosequis]

norm snaps

[xwnordique]

Looks like Ken Griffey thinks OJ didn't do it.

[Filipjphry]

all the sports personalities cringed at the jokes, I thought he was funny

[ghutch88]

The Charles Woodson-OJ-Heisman bit is classic

[ynkeesbest]

SPORTSPICKLE!!!!

[berkeleyhome]

[Itasattc]

Jim Gaffigan 2:35

[SweetStapes]

@Itasattc moron, thats boomer esiason

[Itasattc]

@SweetStapes That was a joke

[msp1518]

That was actually brilliant. The best hosting Norm ever performed.

[redmarktwo]

7:56 behind Charles Woodson, Ryan Leaf! xD

[unclezuck]

Cannot thank you enough for posting this....

[LoudCitizen]

The O.J. joke at the end was priceless.

[laekabrenns]

@LoudCitizen The various amounts of black athletes cold response just adds to it

[DB0175]

what Norm was talking about in 2:50 to 3:06 is true i mean does anyone here remember the XFL?..lol yea i thaught so..

[sauerbach11]

black men cant jump either

[zellmer]

Sad that they have fags from saturday night live doing god awful sketches instead of someone like Norm that knows sports inside and out, and can come up with great jokes.

[GitanoRenegado]

They should use him in movies instead of mathew mconohee

[polypeptide]

he should definitely host the next oscars!

[seanmahon101]

dont worry norm what do u expect from a room full of steroids and ego trips.

[seanmahon101]

u would think they would just be smiling for making millions of dollars for playing games.the rest of us work or starve.hilarious as usual norm.

[AIRIk24]

he doesnt hold back and its why he is the best.

[bdondon14]

@Danogzilla o.j. simpson killed his wife and a waiter

[Nateisthe1827]

This is so good. If this guy was black they would have all been laughing their asses off.

[ryanthegreat50]

Bill Bradley's reaction at 4:30 is classic

[DB0175]

@ryanthegreat50 i know i saw that reaction but the one at 8:19 Charles woodson and the other guy was even more priceless they look pretty upset actually..gosh..lol

[mongolenpup]

@DB0175 naah...the guy who puts his face in his hands is actually grinning his ass off but acting for the camera

[DB0175]

@mongolenpup Oh is that what that was? lol yea i gotcha.

[tonip420]

whoa.....eli looks young...lol

[NickBigsmoke]

what was the last joke?

[danogzilla]

he rips this up.

[danogzilla]

norm's fearless.

[chimpiki]

2:34. The woman on the left is either really unimpressed, or really dense.

[ChargersFan08]

[duckhive]

[ChillyDunk]

Griffey wasnt mad at all...LOL

[spp41]

HOLY SHIT @ that last joke

[cultureisyouros]

@spp41

Haha they definitely weren't too happy about that. Idiots.

[beehands]

your favourite comedian's comedian.

[Stevenio]

People watched the ESPYS back then?

[KillaRock881]

saw the sumbitch @ a druxys one time. didnt want to bother him.  funny fella. no point

[BaseballFan1530]

Haha Ken griffey is trying not to laugh both time on camera.

[bfoaliali]

[TalynOne]

@bfoaliali O.J. Simpson

[bfoaliali]

[dtox12]

[carlwinslow408]

Tiger Wood

[xdigdugx510]

[jason10186]

He's getting his own sports talk show on comedy central. I expect greatness.

[boomshuka]

8:19 Ken Griffey just crapped his pants

[FairsleyDifference]

Ah, all those whores are still just a glint in Tiger's eye.

[AfternoonChowder]

SHOW 'EM, NORM!! KILL IT FOR CANADA!!

[ashburn247]

i love how he clearly doesnt care about anything popular. case in point: still thinks there is an east germany

[DKP4]

CLASSIC

[pretorious700]

I love it, these athletes take themselves so goddam seriously-hey dummies, you are just ENTERTAINMENT. Norm skewers the whole bunch of them.

[MrPlutarch]

he should really host the oscars

[nickmordo]

Jim Leyland hahaha

[GoPats37]

One thing that used piss me off was when people were to uptight to laugh now its just funny because how sad they are. That last joke killed it great!

[Hughezy]

bunch of fucking humorless ego maniac sports dicks, Norm proves just how pathetic they all are.

[DB0175]

@Hughezy Could'nt had said it better myself, i could'nt believe some of those reactions i mean Norm killed it he was great i think..lol

[sbrylski06]

Fuck the Broncos.

Packers XLV!

[sundar213]

I just lost all respect for Ken Griffey

[Aguzman0077]

Ken Griffey: not impressed. Norm rules!

[AccuVisionVideo]

Thanks

[Rosstacular]

[TheTokinbudZ]

I need to watch this at least 2 times a year on youtube.

[therebelrogue]

If he only knew the comedy goldmine Tiger Woods would turn into

[NimbleWalrus]

Damn, Charles Woodson got old.

[43million]

Ricky Gervais watched this video before hosting the Golden Globes.

[toddpinkstonisgod]

4:43....babyface Peyton Manning, haha.

[Dilly5]

Norm MacDonald is a legend

[monsoonboy47]

black people don't like him!

[grands1am]

@monsoonboy47

Really? 5:37

[monsoonboy47]

@grands1amThe Spikester wasn't laughing until he saw the camera was on him. It was clearly forced. Very diplomatic of Spike.

[grands1am]

@monsoonboy47

Three guys in the frame, all smiling

[jarrodbcecil]

East Germany? Holy crap I feel old.

[SimuLord]

Love John Elway's "oh crap, what's he gonna say..." moment at 3:14.

[3wisemenproductions]

what a finish! gangsta

[colouredbills]

12 people don't have a sense of humor

[ohrwurm]

How about a fucking pardon for Norm, now that it's widely known that OJ is a murderer?

[thenamesgould]

@ohrwurm That was hardly a huge secret at the time.

[sexykatie911]

fivealex2009 m.sn in profile

[TheBrilliantGeniuses]

what does jamie ladie tarsis have to do with the year 2010, lest the time machines

[Dominick629]

Balls of steel!!!

[FromtheLandofGorch]

The various shots of the athletes with very unimpressed looks is bloody hilarious.

[fullbag50]

Griffey shakes his head at 8:20, because he is REALLY fighting the urge to be seen laughing at that joke.

[nodakarcher1]

i love all the stiffs there lol

[vika0228]

love norm

[reavertor]

Awesome...

[HeartlessConservativ]

"That's something no one can take away from you." Guess not.

[panhead55]

ole cell phone tiger...lol

[indiangoku]

I heard Norm may get a sports show on Comedy Central.

[FromtheLandofGorch]

@indiangoku ya it would in the vein of the daily show I read somewhere. At least that's what I read so who knows?

[frokenstein]

Senor Crappy!

[colinMN1860]

peyton looks like eli in this

[culinaryherb]

That is hilarious every time.

[chgw01]

Norm's humor is not for everybody , but it IS legendary!!

[stepbrothers2]

norms starring in a new CGI film!

/watch?v=WmtzTu2rygk

[knight0582]

lol the charles woodson thing with "unless u kill your wife ... " thing was way too much booo for that

[knight0582]

good old 90s strippers and crack :D haha

[potsiejones711]

fuck you boomer

[dredandmrbears]

@EidSeimmoc I'm as liberal as they come and Norm kills me everytime so does Don Rickles. Funny is funny doesn't matter your political stripe if you have a sense of humor. By the way are you really that isolated you don't know that black people do the same thing white people do when they think something is funny.

[stoneydanyahoo]

11 people are former NBC president Don Ohlmeyer

[greydawn]

I think this was the same year that Will Farrell came out and did Harry Caray for everyone.

[jucograd]

That guy is awesome!

[twistt]

Makin people so uncomfortable ahaha

[bigdaddycmoney]

No political correctness here. Love it.

[Dominus666]

8:17 HAHAHAHAHA GRIFFEY

[SimplyRawToby]

That OJ swipe was the best. Everytime I see that I end up laughing so hard.

[Muse4life05]

Damn Norm is awesome and was funny here. Why doesn't he host more events like these.

[lowlypeasant]

Worst audience ever.. just a bunch of humorless stiffs. 

[beertron7]

@lowlypeasant I think Norm loves cracking the kinds of jokes that get the room really uncomfortable. Watch his Correspondents' Dinner set, it's posted on youtube.

[lowlypeasant]

@beertron7 yeah, thats a CLASSIC! talk about balls of steel.

[a3410]

i could follow you till you make it a liberal case. doesn´t make no sense at all for the fact he was there at the correspondents association dinner also performing for mr. clinton.did you see his reaction. probably in your opinion a liberal. still agree to a certain point but don´t make it overhere a political statement because norm don´t derserve that.

[zorbatheok]

senor crappy gets me everytime

[Qoontz]

@EidSeimmoc i'm a liberal and i found Norm's bit to be absolutely hilarious.

[THEBIGZED]

@Qoontz

Me too. Fucking generalizing conservatives.

[speakerbox123]

I pray norm hosts the oscars soon

[Depechebandit79]

griffey who?

[heaves12]

ken griffey, lighten up man.

[rimsdothemacarena]

he said Tiger Wood

[Bagelbutcher]

The regular, cool audience members get his jokes.

Meanwhile, the braindead "athletes" and their even more-so vegetable girlfriends are in a different universe, wondering what the hell Norm is talking about.

Norm has balls to voice his views in front of these fucking "sportsmen" and their "Pussyclips."

[lowlypeasant]

Fearless.. the mark of a great comedian.

[locoenelcoco22]

Griffey's retirement wasn't even the lead story the day it happened. THAT'S funny.

[stepbrothers2]

griffy is just making himself look like an arrogant a-hole. like he's too good to laugh at these jokes

[sbtbfanatic]

Why was Griffey such a sourpuss during this event? Was he best friends with OJ Simpson or something?

[dredandmrbears]

@sbtbfanatic I don't know about Griffey , but it seems celebrities of any kind have a hard time letting there guard down and just having a good time at these kind of events.Or their sense of humor is completely different from the rest of us.

[Monty1994]

This is back before ESPN became the joke that it is today.

This was hilarious.

[oneznzeroz]

Why in the fuck is Ryan Leaf there?

[celerlymuncher]

Hey OJ, you got there about 13 years too late, but we finally got your ass in prison.

[JustinD43]

Hey do you have the rest of this show? Like the images of the year that come right after this opening?

[TarkusLV]

Norm is one of the funniest guys ever!

[kalensc]

500+ seconds of people looking awkward. Glorious.

Also I miss the era of East Germany jokes.

[tonyAJ420]

ESPYs are so lame today

[King0ne]

Griffey, what a douchebag.

[MikeOxlarge41]

Griffey is such a tool. I love his startled look like he cant possibly understand why someone would make an OJ murder joke when OJ was found not guilty. What an absolute tool.
