Editorial Reviews
Norm Macdonald, the iconic anchor of SNL's Weekend Update and star of the cult classic Dirty Work, is back with a vengeance. This time he serves up a hilarious feature-length stand-up special, covering everything from cheating death, 24-hour news stories, shameful sex, Tiger Woods and OJ Simpson. Don't let his laid-back demeanor fool you; Macdonald's brand of comedy is as blunt and sharp as ever.

This video is hilarious! Norm is the best standup out there in my opinion. I've met him before in Irvine and he was such a great guy. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. I was laughing uproarously at his show, which I was semi embarassed of but he's just so funny! This routine is not an exception. Buy it, enjoy it, and go see him live! You won't regret it!!!

I did stand-up comedy professionally for several years in the 90's. I love watching stand-up; some of my current favorites are Louis C.K., Doug Stanhope, Patton Oswalt and Jim Jefferies. I got this DVD the other day because, though I hadn't seen much of his stand-up, I always thought Norm was pretty amusing.
Wow. I watched it five times in three days, and laughed heartily every time. It's a little slow to get going, but there are some real gems, and he hits some touchy subjects with a kind of goofy brilliance. It's the funniest stand-up special I've seen in awhile. Highly recommended.

Norm is one of my favorite stand up comedians! He is even better on talk shows! Especially Conan and Letterman, But his stand up is dynamite too!

This is VERY FUNNY!!!! He is amazing with his material and how he delivers it. He is one of a kind. I miss Norm Macdonald, wish to see more from him in the future. He is one of my favorite comedic talents of all time.

Norm MacDonald: Me Doing Standup takes us to the edge of jocularity with his comedic approach to standup comedy. Infamously known for his long, drawn out punchlines, and sarcastic, nonchalant wit, Norm delivers the laughs in this short, sixty minute, standup comedy routine.
Ranging in topics from death, which will leave you gasping for breath as he approaches a delicate subject with mirth, to homosexuality, which was a little more difficult for him to pull off; it will leave you laughing until your sides ache! Other topics include alcoholism, family, the media, Tiger Woods, O.J. Simpson, and more!
With a fair deal of profanity, the jokes are delivered in only a way that Norm MacDonald can pull off. Without being overly vulgar, he broaches some fairly risky topics without bearing malice from the audience. The faces shared of the crowd scenes shows them enjoying themselves and the event they are a part of, sometimes including the audience into his routine, the energy being fed to Norm is exactly the kind a comedian requires to enable a spectacular performance.
Each segment of his act takes you on a roller coaster ride of laughs, riding each as you crest to the top and coast to the bottom to be uplifted time and again. If you are a Norm MacDonald fan, you will not be disappointed and, even if you aren't, this DVD has the merit to deliver.
On the minor side of things, Norm is showing his age in this latest performance. His physique has changed considerably, his cheeks and nose reddened, his onstage presence slow to pick up; however, the punchlines are delivered with gusto and finesse.... Read more ›

This dvd is great! I was so surprised to find the pilot episode of his sketch TV show on here and the unedited Roast of Bob Saget segment! This is the only place you can find it on DVD. I especially enjoyed the cut pieces that have been re-edited into this standup. If you've ever been to a Norm standup, you know he likes to carry a joke for a looooooong time before the punchline. This is an accurate representation of his material. My only fear is that now when I see him, there will be jerks in the crowd yelling out material before he has a chance to deliver.

absolutely brilliant hour or so of stand up.
the "waging a courageous battle" bit and piece about Janice and serial killers are absolutely perfect.
there's a reason other comedians love this guy. this dvd is it.
also contains his bit at the Bob Saget roast which was absolute genius.

Norm gets back to what he does best in this special, which is minimalist dry comedy. I was somewhat worried that this would not be good given his last retail offering ("Ridiculous") which was self-indulgent and truly terrible. I was pleasantly surprised by how funny this special was and I am glad the old Norm seems to be back.

Norm is funny
...but this is not his very best. I'll look for other stand up for the funny man. Maybe I'll watch 'Dirty Work' again.

Norm just is not funny
I have watched a couple of Norm MacDonald videos recently, a comedy central roast, and this video. I don't get his type of humor. Read more

NORM IS A GENIUS
He's smarter than me. Smarter than you. Smarter than the average bear. Probably smarter than a bear of above average intelligence for a bear. Watch it. Love it. Eat it.

Always been a fan of Norm's wit, and this standup routine definitely has some funny moments - but it also has some misses. Read more

should be rated R for strong language
I gave it a shot because it was rated PG but within the first minute that was done. I didn't watch it for more than a couple of minutes. Read more

Norm Macdonald is the smartest man in the room
As well as the funniest. Brilliant comedian in an era of internet comedy saturation. I bet "bored" is spelled B-O-R-E-D.
