Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo

Norm is fiercely loyal to the Sandler/Farley/Schneider/Spade SNL era, despite the fact he became a big star after they all left. Didn't he badmouth the Ferrell led group that took over in 95?

He didn't really badmouth it- I don't think he liked a lot of the corny stuff like Spartans. He hates Chris Kattan and everything he did though.

 

Norm got in hot water in 96-97 because Rolling Stone went to do a profile on SNL and how it was funny again and ended up focusing totally on Norm.

 

From the article:

 

Macdonald remains a staunch defender of the previous SNL regime. "That was a great time," he says. "Sandler, Farley and Spade were the funniest guys." And what of this new regime? "They're very talented. More talented than funny, to me."

I agree with Norm 100% here. Spade/Farley/Sandler might not have been the most talented actors in the world, but they were funny They could make something out of horribly written sketches. People like Ana Gastayer, Cheri Oteri, Molly Shannon, Kattan etc. might have been better actors, but when on their own, not aided by great writing to follow, they just weren't funny. I hated the cheerleaders sketch as well. I know the 95-97 cast gets a lot of love, but IMO it was because the writing had vastly improved since the bad boy years and because they were better actors, with more improv cast members than stand ups.

I saw Norm on Celebrity Poker Showdown, today. The banter between him and Michael Ian Black was pretty funny, as was MIB's constant hype of his signed David Copperfield promotional picture which seemed to bring him good luck.

Norm losing to Michael Ian Black pissed me off- since I hate MIB so much.

 

Norm seems to have confidence issues whenever he plays games on TV. On Millioniare and Poker- he could've won but he got nervous and beat himself
