I sort of try to write everything for me. Im a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I dont remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio. Im trying to make sure the jokes are self-contained so theyre accessible to everyone. – Norm MacDonald
It got very tedious saying the same jokes in the same way with the same attitude. – Norm MacDonald
I dont really like politics that much. And I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world. – Norm MacDonald
Comedy is surprises, so if youre intending to make somebody laugh and they dont laugh, thats funny. – Norm MacDonald
It is a noteworthy fact that kicking and beating have played so considerable a part in the habits which necessity has imposed on mankind in past ages that the only way of preventing civilized men from beating and kicking their wives is to organize games in which they can kick and beat balls. – George Bernard Shaw
