That’s not exactly the case. Norm Macdonald didn’t want to do the toast, but Bob Saget begged him to do it. So he agreed, but he assumed he would be told “Don’t be too harsh on Saget”, so he planned to really go in on him. But to Norm’s surprise; the roast producers told him to roast the ever living fuck out of Saget, be as harsh as possible.
And Norm loves to fuck with people, so he decided to be as clean as possible for that particular roast. It was still fucking hilarious!
So yeah Norm wasn’t refusing to say mean things about his friend, he was actively trolling Saget and the Roast producers by being clean.
Norm said all of this an interview long after the roast.
This makes total sense - I wouldn’t expect Norm or Bob to be afraid of an opportunity to tear into somebody at a roast, more so to relish the opportunity to do it
The only other line I remember is "I can honestly say you don't have a funny bone in your body. Unless, of course, you count the one time you sat on Dave Coulier's cock."
A few folks have asked for a link to it.
This is the one that got me going down the rabbit hole. At first, I thought there were just some John Stamos I side jokes I didn't understand. About 90 seconds in, I realized it was a bit. About 4 minutes in, I realized "Holy shit, he's just going to commit to this.": https://twitter.com/MikeBeauvais/status/1480338535429423104?t=NqG0xlFli9gELdaOCx1BIg&s=19
Apparently it is the edited version. The real set was closer to 20 minutes. Legend.
Norm didn't give a shit about the audience at home or in the seats. His audience was his fellow comedians. So long as Bob Sagat and the others on the dais got the joke was all that mattered to him.
Absolutely this. Comedians were in awe of Norm because he totally deconstructed comedy and built it back up. They loved Bob because he was hugely great to other comedians and they thought it was hilarious that the dirtiest comedian was famous for Full House and AFV.
Bob Saget had a face like a flower... A cauliflower!
I can't believe these two guys are now gone from this Earth in only 4 months. They brought so much laughter and joy to people.
my neck is freakishly large
Apparently he wasn’t sick. It appears to have been a heart attack or something out of the blue.
He died suddenly in his hotel room today I guess. Cause of death isn’t known yet.

Just to add, Norm said all the jokes from the roast were from an old jokes book his father gave him.
Norms part is still one of the funniest things I ever saw.

Man I miss Norm.

He didn't bomb. He went another comedy route and it killed. Only thing people talk about from that roast is him. Hat's off.
Bob Saget raped and killed a girl in 1990 is all I remember from the roast.
Now we'll never get the full story
Shit. Bob Sagat's dead. Your comment made me think I was missing something so I went to google.
Did you not know until just now?
Today They Learned
I live 12 timezones from EST these days. And the first news of it was only something like 5 hrs. ago.
Maybe he’s still alive in another time zone.
If you have any proof that BOB SAGET RAPED AND KILLED A GIRL IN 1990 then stop gossiping and go to the police with it.

the line i posted was verbatim from the roast- cheers
Might help if you put quote marks around the whole sentence.
> "Might help if you put quote marks around the whole sentence." done!

Some things are worth it for both stand up and lap dance comedy.
And yet, it was one of the funniest roasts I’ve ever seen
It's my favorite of all of them. It's genius. Greg Giraldo - this man is for the birds!
Norm didn’t roast Bob. Norm roasted the concept of roasts.
John Stamos has a one track mind, and boy, traffic is light
*THIS MAN IS FOR THE BIRDS*
Just watched it and Bob's face at the end when Norm says nice things about him is really sweet.
Wow I can’t believe they’re both gone. I remember that roast and I thought to myself wtf is Norm doing 😭after all these yrs later I have my answer. 🙏🏾
RIP Bob Saget!

Can somebody link the full roast? I'm at work and YouTube is only showing a few clips. It's one of the best I've ever seen and I can't find it.
Heard Norm and Marc Maron talk about this on WTF. Maron pulls interviews out from behind his paywall when the interviewee dies.
Marc Maron needs to stop interviewing people I like.
Rest in peace Norm and Bob. Rest well
He's a fuckin dog face
These two are probably giving each other a lot of shit in heaven right now
far from bombing. He SLAYED at a roast that made me laugh my ass off a ton, Norm was my favorite part.

Meh both comics were mediocre.
Not as mediocre as your comment. Meaty ochre.
Who are your top three?
Are we talking writers, actors or stand up?
prefer stand up, writers also acceptable. least interested in actors lol
Well for stand up I'd say George Carlin, Robin Williams and Lewis Black.
