This just makes me miiss Norm McDonald
Here's a montage, if anyone wants to see some of the OJ jokes that got him fired from SNL
(Link fixed!)
He knew he would be fired if he didn't stop. He didn't stop. That absolute legend.
How many of the weekend update jokes did he write? I assumed they mostly came from the writer's room (and that he may or not be there, but it at least wouldn't be all or maybe even mostly him)
He had writers too, but he was largely in charge of Weekend Update, I believe. There are some good interviews with Jim Downey, who worked closely with him.
Here he is on Conan's podcast: https://youtu.be/OPjqzMl2VX8
Nice, thanks for that link!
Your montage is just a link to youtube. Well played?
He sent you to YouTube. What, you need him to find the video for you too? Lazy ass millennials.
Seriously? I don't think it's too far out of the norm to expect a link to point to an actual video, and not just the website.
c/whoosh
They were joking
I think it was just one guy joking.
Might not have been a guy
I wondered, but I didn't see the /s, so... /shrug
Also, I've literally heard Boomers say "Lazy ass Millennials" before, and mean it. /shrugagain
I know millennials that are grandparents. I think you should be able to figure it out, shrug-bro.
Maybe. It was so ambiguous though, it really could have gone either way, so I chose a side.
Oh, and, /shrug
You.....still find it ambiguous even after it's pointed out. I'm even more impressed.
No, just disagreeing with your assumption that I should have recognized it as such beforehand.

No.
Just out of curiosity then.. do you have a point in posting that link? Are you trying to say you think I'm just a troll? You're not really explaining yourself well which... Well.. makes sense.
Edit- also... You posted the exact same link twice as if they were different things? Was that like... Artistic expression?
No I copy and pasted the link that's the little chain symbol next to the comments. I'm assuming those links point directly to the individual comment that the links appears next to.
Swing and a miss pal.
Not trying to win an Internet argument.
No... You're just going out of your way to start one and then for some strange reason spamming the same link without elaborating why.
I stand by what I've said. Have a good day.
Dude, to be frank, you're very upset, and you're being rude, and its not worth having a conversation with you right now.
For what it's worth, I wasn't attacking you at all for anything, I only thing I was trying to do was defend the fact that the original comment was ambiguitous and could have been satire or literal/real, because people were giving me a hard time for not detecting the satire.
My comments are straightforward, and I stand by what I've said in them, and nothing more than that.
Still doubling down on claiming it was ambiguous. You can just admit you missed an extremely extremely obvious joke and then got lippy about it. And then for some reason decided to link some post. Twice.
What it really boils down to is.... If you don't like people talking to you like this.... Don't go through life being lippy.
I stand by what I've said. Have a good day.
I didn't put an /s because I honestly never believed someone would be dumb enough to think that was a serious post.
I'm honestly impressed.
Omg, fixed! Sorry. I meant to delete the timestamp part that was added to the URL, but absentmindedly removed too much...
What’s the deal with all the norm comments? I’m unsure what the correlation is.
He famously talked about OJ being a murder till they fired him from SNL for it.
Thanks friend.
