    From baffled to crying with laughter in loops

    Norm, we just love you. You are the best. And we miss you dearly. On account of you're dead and all. We still love you.

    This was a painful reminder why we who love Norm will miss him - there is so much about his style that is so unique and so special and could not be done by anyone but him.

    A very Norm special. A beautiful goodbye.

    There's no real way to organize this so I'm just gonna spitball a few things

    Norm in my opinion was always at his best when he was in a room with people who hate his guts. Many of these jokes were edgy enough to get him in trouble but not so edgy that it's hateful. I wish she had the time to perform the set live because it would be incredible with half of the audience booing him.

    Norm has always been the biggest clown in the room, but there's a brief moment where you see how serious he took his craft. About halfway through the special, one of his dogs starts barking for a moment. The character he creates would make you think that he would get distracted or make a mention about it, but for a brief moment he broke character. He was completely unfazed. For a few seconds we got to see that everything he's ever done on stage has been on purpose.

    I laughed a lot. It also made me sad. There are some moments he talked about things like mortality where you realize he understands his time is limited.

    Like I said I don't really have a format for this. I just know that I really enjoyed this and I will be watching it again.

    If you're familiar with Norm McDonald, you should love this.

    However, very few fully knew Norm and those likely closest to him, Letterman, Chappelle, Shannon, Spade, Shannon, Sandler, added greatly to the appeal of this very Special show. Mostly comedy with shades of tragedy, it is a Must See for his current and new fans. The discussion afterwards is as rewarding as the at home performance itself (see if you hear David Spade's slip of the tongue). Highly recommend this Special.

    GREAT set, emotional yes, but GREAT set

    As a big fan of Normie, I was eagerly waiting for the drop of this set. Norm had hoped to get back to stand up once Corona was done, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. Norm shot this special at home in his mind practice for a set in front of an audience.

    The material is classic Norm; you go from laughing non stop to feeling emotional and crying. We as the audience can tell he was struggling in pain, he talks in detail more about death and what will or could happen.

    The show has a thirty minute I want to say " post show, " but Netflix isn't calling it that, more of a analysis of Norm's life; Sandler, Spade, Molly Shannon , Letterman and Dave Chappelle share moments about Norm.

    This is definitely a special you need to watch more than once as there are small things you will miss between viewings.

    Love ya Normie, Rest in Peace.

    I didn't even know he was sick

    It's norm. If you love norm you'll love this, if you don't, its norm, so you're most likely wrong.

    Great fun and old fella rambles on and it's very funny. Sucks that this is most likely his last special but it'll do! RIP Norm.

      The Netflix Corporation (or the producers) added informative background information titling and words to the very beginning of this footage. They say that Norm recorded this at home all in one take. It seems yes, the audio is definitely completely one take, however, the video does actually cut to different shots and angles - so, technically, this is not one fluid camera take.
