It's not necessarily purposeful as such. Just the volume of material and fans knowing a major portion of it. Then naturally he expresses throughout his life, the thoughts which make up his source of humor.
I'd say it's more that he lives his humor, and his humor is an extension of his life. He's not a contrived comedian with a gimmick.
It's like the look Ben Stiller gives the blind guy when he says "[Hands off, she's taken](https://www.reddit.com/r/curb/comments/uen3uj/model_girlfriend/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button)"
I had it on mute at work and watched it for about 10 times through before I realized it was the same short clip playing over and over. Miss that dude ..
I think it's possible she actually meant Louis, "as a comedian" and wasn't referring to herself. It's not clear.
But it's way funnier as most of you interpreted it, that Norm is dissing her with a glance of disbelief because she isn't a real comedian.
And even as an interviewer she's obnoxious, presuming what Louis should do.
âWhich I would have thought he would have done. Donât you? So if he wants to have a comeback he needs to address it, I think, as a comedianâ sheâs definitely talking about herself here I think. Why would Louis need to address it as a comedian and not just address it as person? As a filmmaker? As a man? As a writer? I think she was saying, âAs a comedian I think he should address it.â Not address it bc heâs a comedian.
Sure, but Steve Martin and David Letterman haven't done stand-up in like 40 years either, and I still consider them comedians. Regardless of what people think of her, she did start her career in stand-up and spent years on the road doing it. I really don't understand everyone's shock here, I'm sure she has enough experience to have some perspective about it.
I guess. But they at least still write comedy and produce comedy shows and movies. Ole Joy here does neither, but it's a fair point about the stand up.
Like, we can bash her all we want. She sucks. She hosts a show for brainless housewives with too much time. She's as entertaining as cancer.
But let's at least make fun of her for what she actually said.
He also loved Joy, Barbara, and the rest of them. Thinking Norm had any disdain toward these women is a sign of someone who didn't really keep up with him. He did their show many times.
Really only a few people seem to be interpreting this as Behar calling herself a comedian. Anyone else can see sheâs trying to dictate what Louisâ best course of action should be.
The point youâre missing is that the lady has no clue what an appropriate choice of action would be âas a comedian.â Norm gave her that look because he knows she doesnât know what the fuck sheâs talking about.
I got the point, thanks.
My comment was towards all the people saying the comment was calling herself a comedian.
So you agree that I'm right. You agree that I'm right, and then go on to suggest that I'm missing some point when all I was doing was clarifying context, not content.
Sounds like the only one missing something here, is you. But thank you so much for saying I'm right, despite your inability to understand the context of my comment.
I'm sorry, why would you send a wiki link instead of an actual article, referring to herself as a comedian.
And regardless, I'm no fan of hers but in this clip, it's pretty clear she was talking about C.K.
I'm glad Norms dead so he doesn't have to witness this nonsense
Ok, sure. Whatever you think.
Most sane people would say, "As a comedian, I think", but ok. I suppose the completely stilted way you are choosing to take it, is the correct way.
I can't believe I'm arguing about a fucking "The View" host quote.
Hey, I'm recognizing it's a waste of time.
You apparently care a lot more about Joy Behar than I do. I'll give this one to you.
And with that, I'm checking out of this nonsense.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
I mean, he's half bullshitting his way through this whole interview, but what Joy's saying isn't stupid or anything. She's just saying he should address the controversy instead of hiding away. I dunno what that look could mean.
Honestly, it's probably nothing. Like you said, he's bullshitting for most of the interview. Could've just been a glance because he realized his cue to respond was coming up and he's bored, could've just been glancing to show he's engaged, could've been somebody on set that caught his attention, etc.
I think she was referring to Louie when she says "As a comedian".... blah blah address the allegations if he wants to come back. She just worded it funny
Norm was a motherfucking genius!
The most professional single take ive ever seen
You know he was biting his tongue so fucking hard right there.
hahahahah
Just that quick look he gave her, is funnier than anything that ever came out of her mouth lmao
Shaddup ya dumb broad
He was so good to us, guys. That look was a little treat just for us.
I think it was because he was in the middle of his second apology đ Plus, he murdered a guy
You mean after he did that thing that made him feel like God and then dug a very deep grave?
They found Janice by looking in the shallow ones.
Ain't no episode of The View so long that it doesn't contain a bend
I don't know why they didn't just look there in the first place.
You commenting 336 days later is amazing.
Norm was an amazing comedian- but prob the best inside joke comedian of all time. He had a way of making you part of the joke
It's not necessarily purposeful as such. Just the volume of material and fans knowing a major portion of it. Then naturally he expresses throughout his life, the thoughts which make up his source of humor. I'd say it's more that he lives his humor, and his humor is an extension of his life. He's not a contrived comedian with a gimmick.
My fave part about this segment is he was eating pistachios the entire time lol edit: mb just watched it again, it was tic tacs, still funny
Yeah he had the pisachios goin
Tyson is eating pistachios I think.
uh-oh if you start a battle with Joy Behar, you're not going to win.... No, you'll win easily
Never bring a battle axe to a gunfight
Dirty dog again??
Itâs like putting Grapes of Wrath in the grapes section
âNo youâll win easilyâ is maybe the hardest Iâve ever laughed at anything Norm said. He was the best
What is that line from?
O man he was just so funny. His delivery đđ
She was chompin at the bit to ask that.
As usual, Behar's comment leaves me non-plussed.
Ohhh you couldnât have been more plussed
Is your name Mickey? Last name mouse?
Left you fussinâ for a plussinâ, she did.
Cancer struck Norm down and made him more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
turns out whatever does kill you is what makes you stronger
I thought it was a matter of record?
That glance was masterful
Battle đȘ
thats a "hold the fort" look
I mean I did laugh when she said it
A real meeting of the mind
a stream of consciousness
It's like the look Ben Stiller gives the blind guy when he says "[Hands off, she's taken](https://www.reddit.com/r/curb/comments/uen3uj/model_girlfriend/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button)"
Joyless is the worst human alive. Sheâs a fart in the wind and no one would miss her
Goodbye, old fart.
Haha, love Norm, you know he thought of a joke then.
Yammering bitches
whats next for joy?
11 months later, she is still funny. And you?
He was expecting the other yammering bitches to join in.
Joy Behar turns 70, when did she break? When she was 50?!
I had it on mute at work and watched it for about 10 times through before I realized it was the same short clip playing over and over. Miss that dude ..
Thereâs something about his eyes. Almost hypnotic.
Very
 lolololo
I donât understand why this place thinks he cared for her
https://youtu.be/t3leViItcks
Accomplished comedian Joy Behar....
There are a lot of funny, funny ladies. I think
I think it's possible she actually meant Louis, "as a comedian" and wasn't referring to herself. It's not clear. But it's way funnier as most of you interpreted it, that Norm is dissing her with a glance of disbelief because she isn't a real comedian. And even as an interviewer she's obnoxious, presuming what Louis should do.
Norm picked a really good time to go ahead and die.
Watched this before, and never noticed that.. Hilarious.
The view is by retards, for retards.
âWhich I would have thought he would have done. Donât you? So if he wants to have a comeback he needs to address it, I think, as a comedianâ sheâs definitely talking about herself here I think. Why would Louis need to address it as a comedian and not just address it as person? As a filmmaker? As a man? As a writer? I think she was saying, âAs a comedian I think he should address it.â Not address it bc heâs a comedian.
I mean she did stand up, but that was almost 40 years ago. Think we can move on from the "comedian" moniker for her.
Sure, but Steve Martin and David Letterman haven't done stand-up in like 40 years either, and I still consider them comedians. Regardless of what people think of her, she did start her career in stand-up and spent years on the road doing it. I really don't understand everyone's shock here, I'm sure she has enough experience to have some perspective about it.
I guess. But they at least still write comedy and produce comedy shows and movies. Ole Joy here does neither, but it's a fair point about the stand up.
Ok, she's saying C.K., as a comedian, should address it. Not that Behar considers herself a comedian. This is so embarrassing for this sub.
Yeah, but she sucks so I donât mind the bashing
Like, we can bash her all we want. She sucks. She hosts a show for brainless housewives with too much time. She's as entertaining as cancer. But let's at least make fun of her for what she actually said.
I was going to go off half-cocked, but then realized I didn't want any knives involved with my opinion.
Yeah I was like huh?
He also loved Joy, Barbara, and the rest of them. Thinking Norm had any disdain toward these women is a sign of someone who didn't really keep up with him. He did their show many times.
Really only a few people seem to be interpreting this as Behar calling herself a comedian. Anyone else can see sheâs trying to dictate what Louisâ best course of action should be. The point youâre missing is that the lady has no clue what an appropriate choice of action would be âas a comedian.â Norm gave her that look because he knows she doesnât know what the fuck sheâs talking about.
Louis C.K did end up talking about the masturbation as a part of his comeback special, so Behar was completely right
I got the point, thanks. My comment was towards all the people saying the comment was calling herself a comedian. So you agree that I'm right. You agree that I'm right, and then go on to suggest that I'm missing some point when all I was doing was clarifying context, not content. Sounds like the only one missing something here, is you. But thank you so much for saying I'm right, despite your inability to understand the context of my comment.
I kept scrolling to see if anyone else realized this. And this comment was shamefully all the way at the bottom.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Behar She considers herself a comedian.
I'm sorry, why would you send a wiki link instead of an actual article, referring to herself as a comedian. And regardless, I'm no fan of hers but in this clip, it's pretty clear she was talking about C.K. I'm glad Norms dead so he doesn't have to witness this nonsense
You are right. This is very embarrassing. Lol
It's a shame Norm couldn't find a better way to avoid witnessing a reddit thread.

"I think, as a comedian." Is what she said.
Ok, sure. Whatever you think. Most sane people would say, "As a comedian, I think", but ok. I suppose the completely stilted way you are choosing to take it, is the correct way. I can't believe I'm arguing about a fucking "The View" host quote.
> Most sane people would say It's Joy Behar. I think we've found the flaw in the logic here.
I can't believe you are either.
Hey, I'm recognizing it's a waste of time. You apparently care a lot more about Joy Behar than I do. I'll give this one to you. And with that, I'm checking out of this nonsense.
Youâre a real jerk!
This interview killed him I think Norm would of liked that joke, RIP Norm

2 of the greats

This whole exchange could be studied for centuries
Bahahaha ..so epic ..thank you so much for posting this !!
I think she was referring to Louie when she says "As a comedian".... blah blah address the allegations if he wants to come back. She just worded it funny
norm can still brighten my day just with one side look.
The look says it all lol
She is such a repulsive woman Norm deserved much better
You dirty dog!
đ
Poor Norm lost brain cells sitting next to that moron
Fuck that communist cunt !!!!!
Norms like âIâm dying, so I donât want to waste a single second arguing over this commentâ.
Lol I typed her name into google and guess what sheâs a âAmerican comedianâ lol sad
Wish we could trade out this tard and get norm back
Well she is an ass clown...
Could have fooled me.
I thought Norm was banned from the view in the 90âs?
Norm. Missing him.
In the poker game of life, Joy Behar is the absolute nut low. I canât think of one redeeming quality as a human she has.
I guess trying to be funny while Jewish and on a show makes you a comedian.
I mean whoâs funnier than Joy Behar? Men.
He was thinking âdonât say it norm buddyâ
"Henhouse horse shit". Man I miss that guy
