Norm Macdonald: Hitler's Dog, Gossip & Trickery (2017)

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Admirable film.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Right, well this was the first and most likely also last time that I watched Norm Mcdonals doing stand-up comedy.Sure, there were some good jokes and a good laugh here and there, but as a whole then the show just didn't pack enough of a punch.The onstage presence and the inanimate mannerisms of Norm Mcdonald just made him look like a wooden puppet put on the stage to perform.Some of the delivery of the material was a bit scrambled and confusing, as if he wasn't properly prepared or had problems remembering his own act.This was not an outstanding stand-up comedy performance, and I have actually been deterred from watching more of his act.

This manseems obsessed with his private parts. Overall the show is vulgar (even for an American comedian) and that in a childish way. There is no story arc, the jokes are badly crafted and seem to center around boring and overused female tropes. The self-deprecating attitude seems fake where it needs to be genuine and actually sad where it needs to be a funny act. Comedy shows should be foremost judged by how much they make you laugh, which would result in a score of zero. Also I simply do not understand when it came to be acceptable and/or funny to describe one's sex life in detail.

So i have not found him funny in a long time, early on in him career he was new and funny. But as he has gotten older, I just don't get it. I like a lot of shows on Netflix but this is one of the worst. Netflix touts this as "on sex, dating and the absurdities of fame". It is not cutting edge funny just sad. As for the "absurdities of fame" well at this point her career looks more like infamous! Stay away from this trash, i am done with watching anymore of his stuff.

I've always been a huge fan of Norm MacDonald.I've even been re-watching Norm for the last couple days.I usually laugh at everything he says but this special is by far the least funny thing he has ever done.He had some good jokes.There's one about auto-erotic asphyxiation that was really good(even though I saw the punch line coming a mile away) and a couple times he mentions all the horrible things happening in the world, like that it's raining in the forests. Those were the only times he was really funny in this special. The most disappointing part is that he reused a few old jokes.That's acceptable when you're doing a talk show but not when you're getting millions to do a Netflix special. While this was Norm at his worst, it's still better than most stand-up specials.
