Norm McDonald, you sexist piece of trash
BF's company has their holiday party every January, to coincide with the quarterly Sales Meeting. It was this past Friday, and this year's entertainment was to take us all to the Improv in downtown San Jose to see some comedian's.
The evening might have been enjoyable if there had been more comedian's.
I don't recall the first or second acts, just that they were local names & they actually had some humorous moments. Most of which was self-deprecating humor, but at least it was still humor.
Norm... ah, Norm. See, he's an SNL alum so I expect pretty poor comedic timing & humor. I was told by others in our group that no, he really was either drunk or drugged out on stage. He would start a "joke", forget his lines, and then drunkenly stumble into something else.
He (literally) seemed to not know what state or area he was in, or he probably would never have attempted any "joke" that bashed on how useless things like calculus and other sciences are in high school. On top of that, he spent a lot of time making "humorous" observations about the differences between men & women. Comments such as how women's sports are waste of time, that if a woman was that good at sports she'd be in the NBA, etc. I walked out to use the bathroom & never came back. One of the sales people was so appalled at the show that he tried to complain to the manager.
After the show BF & I went out with the CEO & a few other people - all of whom were also appalled at the show as well. I did tell the CEO that one good thing came out of this evening - this holiday party's entertainment managed to finally bump the horrible magician they'd hired years ago into the #2 spot for bad entertainment choices.
Why the hell do people deliberately go and see crap like this?
