Norm Macdonald’s Most Controversial Jokes, From O.J. Simpson to #MeToo

Norm Macdonald was never a comedian who worried too much about offending people. With his trademark deadpan delivery and razor-sharp wit, he built a career out of pushing boundaries, often leaving audiences wondering whether they should laugh, gasp, or both.
