I'm not sure if I have heard these jokes before, or if I accidentally watched this special twice. Either way, despite a feeling of deja vu, it was still a knockout performance.
The style is not for everyone. The deadpan delivery, the odd observations... this is not Jerry Seinfeld and it is definitely not a series of laugh-out-loud jokes. This is a slow burn that builds until you are inside the world of Norm. Apolitical, not terribly obscene or offensive... just offbeat. And it works.
With his charm and witty plot-twisty jokes he keeps the laughs going till the end. I guess if you're some simpleton who can't grasp his humor, you might feel like this isn't as funny as it really is, but he always loved having 50% of the audience laugh and 50% of the audience confused, that made the others laugh even harder.
Legend, like Patrice O'Neal and other great ones that are now gone but the world really needs, because true, funny, pure comedians who REALLY just want to be comedians and not preachy douchebags who exploit political topics for that Netflix frontpage are really a minority nowadays.
Norm is on point in this one. His set is full of a steady barrage of solid jokes delivered only as Norm can. The one knock I'd have is here occasionally there are some pointless and forced cursing. Felt out of place. He could also lose the formal suit. If you like Norm you'll enjoy this.

- AnecdotesThe special doesn't have an intro or title sequence. The stand-up material starts right away and the title appears at the end of the show.
- GaffesNorm Macdonald incorrectly states that astronaut Harrison Schmitt was the last man to walk on the moon. Gene Cernan was.

Norm Macdonald: LSD, that was about the strongest drug I ever did - acid. I don't know if you've ever done acid, but... When I was young, they would tell me, "You have got to be careful with that acid, on account of you can do it," and then you have a flashback. Like, ten years could pass, 20 years could pass, "and then you get a flashback." So I thought, "Well, that sounds like a good deal," you know? I went to my drug dealer Frank. I said, "Frank..." is there a drug on the market where I pay you $5... I take the drug, I get high, "and then, 20 years later, I get high again?" He said yes. And I think of myself as somebody who's good at stretching his drug dollar. But the point of the whole thing is for me to tell you young folk... that it's not... it's not true at all, you know? Because I have not done LSD since I was a teenager. Ten years have passed, 20 years have passed. Sadly, 30 years have passed. And still... no flash... What a gyp that turned out to be. I... Just more horseshit by the big acid companies if you ask me.
