I find Norm MacDonald inherently funny, but its clearly shown here that actually WRITING sketch comedy is something he cant do. every joke is stretched well beyond its funny limit, and in cases i mean, like 18 minutes longer than needed - literally... there are some tracks like the sports stuff and 'two first gay guys' that even get redux tracks when the joke was played out a minute into its first one. avoid like the fucking plague. i downloaded and listened to it the other day…
