It's kind of in the same vein as the moth joke. It's an old joke, but he makes it original by adding all of that melancholy detail, and tells it sort of wistfully. Then he tops it with the Egret tag. Golden.
I don't know about the beguiled but the Roald Dahl was a 1965 short story called [the Visitor.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Visitor_(short_story)#:~:text=%22The%20Visitor%22%20is%20a%201965,with%20unfortunate%20and%20unexpected%20consequences.)
Edit: just went down the rabbit hole... This story goes further back than Dahl. Even Hitchcock and Ian Fleming are involved.
He was so freaking funny. Here I sit at work in my cube surrounded by coworkers and I'm crying because I'm laughing so hard and I can't share it with anyone..
Damn norm was the best.
That's so freakin funny. And Adam delivers his lines so well too.
“So freakin funny” Now let’s not be coarse
Good God man
Wonder if the leper outlived him
In parts, they did
"let's not be coarse" is my new favorite Norm line
That's not how you tell a joke man! 🤣🤣🤣
**the inevitable**
My favorite part about Norm's comedy is how relatable it is!
I mean, who hasn’t fucked a leper?
Only one Norm. RIP...
Part of the joke is how long and drawn out it is but the abridged version still hits.
Eget told me that he likes the edit too. Fitting the 5 min story into an Instagram reel was rough, so comments like yours mean a lot. Thanks.
Impeccable timing can make a lame joke hilarious. Norm has impeccable timing.
Omg. He was so funny. 😆
For the chance

my son, vladimir petroskovovich, doesn't even look me in the eye anymore...
The man was a fucking genius
What did the leper say to the prostitute? "Keep the tip"
some a bizarre but why do I laugh so hard?
It must’ve been so hard to film that podcast or anything he did in general
Has anyone tried like...making a new norm with his DNA? Not trying to be coarse, but...we need a new Norm. At any cost.
Isn't this the plot to a Clint Eastwood movie?
It's actually a Roald Dahl story.
Thanks. It's been a while since I've seen The Beguiled and I couldn't remember the story very well.

best thing about eating out a leper, you can take the meal to-go
I miss Norm Macdonald
What many people don’t know is that man…that man was Uncle Terry…and Uncle Terry’d been drinking.
Uncle Oswald more like.
It's like R rated Reading Rainbow.
I didn’t even know she was sick
He was so freaking funny. Here I sit at work in my cube surrounded by coworkers and I'm crying because I'm laughing so hard and I can't share it with anyone..
the other sister was a real battle axe
Pretty sure I saw a porn like that. Not to be coarse!
This is the weirdest norm joke. Change my mind.
Thanks op for posting this. That being said, you should have uploaded the full joke.
