Comedy fans are mourning Norm MacDonald, who died Tuesday at the age of 61 after a private nine-year battle with cancer.
MacDonald was remembered for his unique voice, in every sense, with his absurdist sense of humor and a deadpan delivery often leading to a wildly unexpected punchline.
Fans shared their favorite clips on Twitter in remembrance:

Never forget this Norm Macdonald appearance on Conan in 1997 — with Courtney Thorne-Smith.
Hilarious. All of it.
Rest In Peace, Norm…pic.twitter.com/LQRMT3fCN7— Rex Chapman🏇🏼 (@RexChapman) September 14, 2021

One of my favourite lesser known Norm bits was simply his recounting a moment from Kojak — effortless virtuoso stuff. #NormMacdonaldpic.twitter.com/LOJUz2jyrJ

This was right after Conan found out that he was fired from The Tonight Show, supposedly Conan was distraught during the taping of this and according to sources was shaking. Norm’s appearance was a surprise to Conan which lightened the mood and gave him a well needed laugh. pic.twitter.com/cWY77eFLgU

I will never forget this great moment of inappropriate humor when Norm was talking about Steve Irwin‘s death with John Stewart while promoting his comedy album “Ridiculous”. Which I went out and bought the next day. I highly recommend it. #NormMacdonaldpic.twitter.com/NOsgALEoMS

“I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor — but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”

There was nothing better than Norm MacDonald joining Bob Uecker in the booth during a #Brewers game. Norm made everyone, including Uke, and Letterman laugh their asses off. The best. https://t.co/78M4gTaxUO

I can watch this another 1000 times, and still laugh at Norm Macdonald's Burt Reynolds like I've never seen it.— John Cardillo (@johncardillo) September 15, 2021
Probably my favorite Norm sketch. The laughs you hear are the writing staff. Proud to be on the corn flakes. https://t.co/t8rJocXglt

That rare art of telling a joke so well the punchline becomes irrelevant #NormMacdonaldhttps://t.co/c6KdNQfcsD
