    That time of the year again. I don't watch the ESPYs, but I do make a point of watching this video every year.

    The Heisman joke at the end still kills me.

    Norm Macdonald is such an underrated comic. He could read the phone book and i'd still get a chuckle. Best delivery ever.

    His roast of Bob Saget was some of the best comedic television I have ever seen.

    Man if yall are Norm fans, you really need to check out his video podcast. It's F'ing hilarious. Watch this first eps with Super Dave and tell me if you don't laugh at all. It's all iTunes as well if you want just audio.

    I've always thought his Weekend Updates were among the best (if not THE best) in SNL history. LOVE his deadpan delivery. It was a perfect fit for that format. The audience would always wait a few seconds before laughing at his jokes. It took them a few seconds to figure it out. That's when you know you're doing something right as a comic.

    I loved it after one of his stories, he'd say "and in addition.....one plus one equals two."

    And of course, there's the random non-sequitur reference to (you guessed it...) Frank Stallone that I'm constantly ripping off on here. :)

    Damnit, I accidentally hit post while I was still editing.
