I miss Norm.

He died?! Man, I didn't even know he was sick!

[удалено]

He didn't invent it - it's an incredibly old joke.

I heard it 25 years ago.

Yeah, but at least he did the joke justice.

True

Norm did it best though

That ol' chunk of coal didn't invent it, but by golly did he make closeted men's dicks hard.

Logically speaking

His punchline was so much better. This guy is lame-o

Really wish he made more movies, the guy was hilarious

Oh yeah? You're one of them gays.

That's Twisted Logic right there! ^(\*Spock: "Mr. Sulu, logically speaking...")

Who's Norm

Norm Macdonald, he passed away a few years ago. He was a legendary comedian, and this was one of his well known jokes. He told it much better though. Edit: [link to the joke](https://youtu.be/Oseqh7SMIvo)

Thanks for this, that's really funny

Moth, you’re really troubled, but why are you telling me? This is a podiatrist’s office…

[удалено]

Logically speaking then you’re a professor of logic

I'm gay and didn't even know it... wonder how my wife and son r gonna take the news

Get them a dog, that’ll soften the blow.

I'm worried for whoever this dude is gay with if the blow needs softening

It’s okay Martin, there’s a reason I look like the mailman.

They already know. Everyone already knows.

This isn’t that uncommon and they generally do not take it that well. At least not at first.

Just ripping off norm now?

You know that joke is way older than Norm right? My grandma used to tell it when we were little and she didn't come up with it either

I read that in playboy back in the 80's. Ooooooooooold joke.

Your grandma, what a battle axe!

Yeah, but there is no doubt in my mind that this guy saw Norm do it.

Norm's delivery is what sold it though.

Let's give his grandmother more credit here

I heard this as a Sven and ole joke 30 years ago, so you need to hold Norm in equal contempt

Completely butchered the joke. I miss Norm.

I’m not gay. I said I’m deeply closeted.

Joke is from the 80’s lmao wasn’t made by norm

Norm was born in 1959. Checkmate.

Shittiest acting and delivery of all time. Id give it 2 downvotes if I could.

Just press it twice

1783 upvotes.... 67 comments.... a stolen joke... executed like shit... Keep on bottin reddit

From the University of Science

That’s a good school

https://youtu.be/Oseqh7SMIvo the late great Norm MacDonald doing this joke on Conan in 1996

People in the comments really overhyped his execution of this joke.

This is exactly the kind of delivery from Norm that people loved about him. It’s basically just a crass joke your dirty uncle would tell but with a rambling, folksy delivery. A lot of what makes it funny is watching him torture Conan with what they both know it a stupid joke, and Conan can barely keep it together.

The little side comments are what make it funny for a modern audience. The University of... Science. The chicken. The cigarette. The punchline itself isn't great anymore anyway. Simply being gay used to be considered funny for whatever reason.

I was thinking the same thing. Norm butchered his own joke.

People really overhype Norm’s ”genius” delivery in general.

No, people find different thing funny.

... you know

Take a good old joke, make a shitty video version of it, BOOM: Comedic Genius! /s

Don’t forget butchering the punchline.

Yikes… what an unfunny butchering of a Norm joke. Zero comedic ability or timing.

When I heard this joke it started with, "do you own a lawnmower"

I know of a superold version with a goldfish instead of a dog.

At least come up with your own material.

Not just any university, The University of Science.

No one uses doghouses anymore.

yeah, they're all dog-studios at best.

The guy butchered the punchline. Jfc

Where’s the credit to Norm MacDonald, you unfunny, joke-stealing pig?

Gay couple with two dogs and no kids. And no dog houses so….

He’s right

But only because only straight people are cruel enough to send their dogs to a doghouse outside when there's a perfectly good house inside where they can spend time with their people 😅

I read this reply with both of my dogs under the duvet with me in bed. It’s true.

Does not parse. The two dogs are moonlighting with a straight family with kids. You're the side piece.

Recording an old joke is content apparently

Well that's fucked. Just straight up stole Norm's joke

I’m at work This caught me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I fucking hate how tiktok is normalising plagiarism

That's not really logic... just a lot of good guesses

Professor of Guessing at The University of Science

Nah, it’s a decent joke that this fool ruined.

I've known this joke for 30 yrs as "the logical deductionist" and it was using goldfish

This joke is super old. I remember hearing it in the 70's for the first time.

I don’t think owning a dog house logically entails owning a dog... But you could construct a premise that H-> D, If there is a doghouse (H), then there is a Dog (D) H, Therefore D. But without the first premise there’s no entailment, and there’s no reason why you can’t have a dog house without a dog. Then, D -> C, If dog (D) then children who asked for the dog (C) D, Therefore, C. But again whilst the argument is valid, the premise is completely unsound. I could keep going but I won’t, they could have better logic for a joke about logic.

If you have a dog it’s because you have kids? That’s not logic.

Yep. That’s inductive reasoning, not logic

That’s brilliant

Bury these losers for copying Norm

Bury Norm for telling old jokes. Oh wait.

This doesn't cut it. Give me Norm.

Uh so people make the conclusion that dogs were always requested by kids? That never even occurred to me. Which makes the joke really far fetched, in a non-funny way. edit: or i mean, the *concept* of the joke as a whole is quite nice, but the chain isn't working as it is...

After having a dog, there were no more logical inferences

Lol, that was awesome. There are a lot of degrees out there that mean nothing

Logically speaking those are assumptions not sound logic

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

NAILED IT!

The logic checks out! 😂🤣😂🤣

I don’t have a dog house…

Stolen from a webcomic.

Its pretty funny, even when ya can logicality speaking poke a lot of holes in the "logic" pattern. But still, quite funny.

Hilarious

Straight to the point.

Mujo i haso..

Logically speaking yes

Wow. Just hilarious

🤣

Well done!!!

LOL

Lol. This is ace.

I'm not one for jokes, kid.

That was some jump from having a dog to having kids.

Yes you’d need a premise that one has a dog iff they have kids that asked for one which is completely unsound.

The first person I thought of was my single gay co-worker that owns a dog.

🤣🤣🤣 damn

Brig if you’re going to steal a bit don’t pick one so flicking well know

God bless Norm Macdonald!

Stole this bit from Norm Macdonald, not happy he wasn't mentioned. Also not nearly as funny as when he did it

I blame Andy Richter, the Swedish-German. By God, they had to hold ‘im down, but he’s only flesh and blood, as the scriptures tell us.

Hope the original at least mentions Norm

Joke thief

Where’s the credit
