"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.

AV Club

Although his material is often bold, Macdonald's style remains decidedly and appealingly old-fashioned.

Rated: B+

This is a strange, fabulous, very funny stand-up special. An absolute gem.

Cine Vértigo

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.

Rated: 2/4

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.

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.

Worth it just for that mischievous little side-eye of his. And very funny.

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.

A special brand of witty, wise absurdity is on display. And it feels good; there is a kindness at the root.
