Did Norm seem like that type?
-
Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Pretty much all comics that were not friends of O&A hated doing the show or were always nervous. Same with Stern. Patrice said on O&A how much he hated doing Stern's show when they were off the air because you just didn't fit in at all. But with O&A you never knew what insane thing might happen. O&A had comics get arrested or involved in stupid stunts. They had comics get their worst stories revealed on air. Huge fights and blowups. Your past being brought up by callers out of nowhere. Having them hang on the phone on you or mess with you.
Florentine did O&J after his wife cheated on him. And he came onto the show just to plug gigs. Opie put one of Florentine's neighbors on the air who said that Florentine caught his wife banging a cop even after Florentine told him "don't take that call". Publicists hated O&A. Like when Colin brought his publicist during a Bobo prank and wanted him to leave the show for good.
Like imagine going on O&A as a comic just for a plug. And all of the sudden homeless and drug addicts are on the show. Callers are asking you if the house next door to you was sold to niggers? Gallagher flat out told both O&A to cool it with the race talk and jokes because he was not comfortable. Within ten minutes of that Anthony said something like "The first guys to do Gallagher's act were those firefighters in Selma in the 50s spraying down the black with water hoses". Also Gallagher repeatedly told Patrice he didn't want his first name said on air....then Patrice called him "Leo" no less than fifty times in the span of an hour.
Norm was not like Vos or Bobby or one of the Cellar guys where he would fit in and hang. He was a 'front of the bus' guy like Patrice said. He was someone like a Gallagher who just wanted to plug or talk a little. Even Joe Piscopo was a far superior guest than Norm.
IT WAS A YES OR NO FUCKING QUESTION.
Egg whites and blueberries.
Norm wasn’t that type. Listen to the interview yourself. He was kicked off by the worm, puriod.
Jim Norton has a weird resentment against Norm Macdonald. He didn't laugh at any of his jokes at that Roast where they had an exchange on air, AND he even started doing dumbass "shrug" gestures to the crowd like What the hell is this guy doing>??? YOU'RE supposed to be UP THERE telling the truth, TELLING IT LIKE IT IS! And making people deal with it!!!!!!!!! THAT'S CALLED BEING A COMIC!!!! No, not making people laugh, and finding different ways to do so. But going up and saying AIDSYYY shocking things.
And then he kicked Norm off the show. Another moment where Opie said, Okay, I don't wanna open up Norton's can of worms with his guest hounding.
OPIE WAS WORKING WITH 1 GUY WHO SHOWED UP HUNG OVER, LATE, OR CALLED OFF. AND 1 GUY WHO WAS ON HIS PHONE THE ENTIRE SHOW, AND HOUNDING GUESTS FOR PHOTOS AND SIGNATURES!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A MARK

I think the worm was offended that Norm “disrespected” the roast by doing something different. I haven’t seen his set from that roast but I’m just going to assume Norm’s experiment got way more laughs than “Bob Saget should slip on a puddle of AIDS!”
It’s jealousy. Norm had done it all - TV, movies, comedy. He had his own show, was regularly featured on late night, and hosted a well received podcast. He was a legit gambling addict and even though he went bankrupt, he was funny, respected, and rebounded.
Jim Norton’s name doesn’t even come up in the same sentence as Norm. He’s known for Chip, being a sexual degenerate, and playing third wheel to two aging shock jocks, one of them being a scared alcoholic racist who was sexually attracted to.
Yeah bra bombing Opie and Anthony was obviously the better show
See 12:20 in this video for one of the worst Norton moments I’ve ever heard
Yeah. It was.
Patrice telling Von on the air to look up Gallagher's name and text it to him was some funny fucking shit
He only likes UFC because the guys will take pictures with you.
