How Jim Norton comes up with his material

Crafts his material. Comedy is an art form.

The last time I saw any footage of his act, he was riffing on "topical" news stories he saw on his phone. When his attempts at being funny failed, he began chatting with the crowd, trying to turn his "bomb" into a bit in a really annoying, self-deprecating way. That was a while ago, though, before he started with this whole sham marriage thing he's doing now. At the moment, his act seems to consist of being constantly humiliated by a shemale prostitute, who mocks and scorns everything about him. And it isn't nearly as funny as he thinks it is.

Uhh you know he's not exactly wrong. That is an awfully hot coffee pot and I can see why deciding to hit someone with it would be a tough one, man.

20 years ago I probably laughed a little about his piss drinking and tranny love but he never developed any personality that was even slightly interesting. The only talent I ever saw was his acting on lucky Louie and that was all Louisck.

Louis CK’s fault you mean. Jim’s acting was horrendous on that show! I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you haven’t seen it in years.

I’m not a critic of the arts, I wouldn’t notice his lack of skill. What I did notice was that he was perfect for the part of weed dealer who babysits and hangs out in the park.

“Critic of the artshh?”
Norton wasn’t perfect for the role at all. He was widely panned for his performance even at the time (by serious comedy fans, never mind art critics. ) Steve Sweeney who was up for the part would’ve been 1000x better but Jim’s wormy influence at the time won out.

Then I guess I’m all turned around on this thing.

Once Otto died and George is in storage , Jim's whole stand up act went in the shitter. Because he based his whole personality on a puppet

this is my first time ever seeing this show. I got a chuckle. Not enough to invest more time into it though. Jim is still awful.

It’s by far the best scene in the whole show.

Sweeney made it onto PFG TV so who really won out here?
