Was Norm MacDonald the only one who could tell these 8 minute long jokes?

Some of his jokes are like 8-12 minutes long and still manages to entertain people. Whereas like Robin Williams would tell like 85 jokes in that time.

Dude was probably the complete package. Leading man good looks, but the IDGAF attitude of Chapelle, but still managed to not be cynical.

That was one of the best roast sets of all time

Producers told Norm he had to be hilarious and may have tried to provide him with pre-written jokes, so he pulled out a dad joke book full of gags you'd tell at a retirement party

Lol my grandad used to tell long jokes, he had some strange way of always making you think the next line would be the punchline which it never was. Then he'd get you with the punchline when you just didn't expect it. Always thought he was a wizard for it.

They're called Shaggy Dog Stories. Norm was indeed good at them. RIP


"In its original sense, a shaggy dog story or yarn is an extremely long-winded anecdote characterized by extensive narration of typically irrelevant incidents and terminated by an anticlimax."
