Jason Zinoman New York Times 08/06/2019
"Hitler's Dog" starts in the middle of a joke and it ends abruptly. In bookending his show this way, Mr. Macdonald not only toys with the meaning of a joke, but he also drives home the point that the part can be funnier than the whole. Go to Full Review

B+
Although his material is often bold, Macdonald's style remains decidedly and appealingly old-fashioned. Go to Full Review
John Doyle Globe and Mail 08/06/2019
This is a strange, fabulous, very funny stand-up special. An absolute gem. Go to Full Review

2/4
Macdonald's rhythm can be confusing: he interrupts himself without any justification, until one realizes that everything is perfectly planned so that the joke settles and we keep laughing while we ruminate on the meaning of its impassive punch-lines. Go to Full Review

If you don't laugh at Macdonald's material about cellphones and George Washington chopping down the cherry tree - well, I'm sorry, but you're just not a smart person if you don't find his stuff funny. Go to Full Review
Sean L. McCarthy Decider 08/06/2019
While others zig, Macdonald doesn't zag, but instead chooses to plow straight ahead. His observational comedy can focus so narrowly on the target that it strikes the true bull's eye of the premise. Go to Full Review

Kim W 01/23/2023 Every single joke kills. God, I miss him. The best to ever do it. RIP Norm <3 See more 10/28/2021 Worth it just for that mischievous little side-eye of his. And very funny. See more 09/26/2021 In retrospect, you definitely get the sense that Norm is aware that this very well could be his final act, with the specter of his illness and impending death recoloring his sardonic, macabre musings as barely veiled truths. See more dave d 09/23/2021 If you don't laugh consistently you don't know how! Miss you Norm! Lucky we have all these clips :) 10/10 See more 03/08/2021 To be fair I'm a big Norm fan and I realize his stuff isn't everyone's speed, but goddamn! Dark observational comedy at its finest, 100% check it out See more 11/15/2020 A special brand of witty, wise absurdity is on display. And it feels good; there is a kindness at the root.
