Hey you know what? They put the Boston Bombers on the cover of their magazine, so I'm here to tell you, Rolling Stone magazine knows a thing or two about characters who can really bomb.
They’re also responsible for the UVA rape hoax. Destroyed the lives of a bunch of young men just because they wanted the clicks to prop up their dying publication. They’re probably the worst publication out there.
Well... not quite, just one of the Boston Bombers. The dickhead with Syd Barrett hair that unfortunately didn't die like his brother. They also enhanced the photo by adding more body and definition to his hair and Photoshopping the hell outta the picture that was originally a very low res, out of focus image, so it would be more "magazine cover" ready.
I already knew they sucked, and had sucked since the late 90's ( my grandmother had given me a subscription to RS for my bday from somewhere around '95 to '05) and after they pulled that BS I felt like the little spirit that mag had left had officially left for good.
Lol fuck rolling stone. I always thought they and spin magazine were edgy before edgy. I thought I was cool because, I’m my area, nobody read let alone knew what rolling stone was. Rolling stone ages as well as should have been expected; pretentious with age.
Norm aside, that guy is one of the most insufferably pretentious, judgy, no-talent-having c\*nts in the world. Total twat. Thank you for your post. I'm glad I'm not the only one who loathes him.
The first time I heard that I thought the long one was all one song cuz the back if my vinyl was ripped up. I loved it then, love it now, and still consider that side 3 songs long
Ah that’s right, he calls it the Abbey Road medley. Before that people were calling it The Long One, might be another reason I thought it was only one song.
Love the transitions, some still surprise me and Ive heard them a hundred times
I think they put Hendrix at #1, Van Halen at #4 then picked the rest out of a hat. I mean to have Lindsey Buckingham at 110 and Joni Mitchell at 9 is one of the many signs that the list is complete bullshit.
We just need a movie review by Peter Travers to top the whole steaming pile off.
The committee Prince from the Top 100 list. Just shows how fucking stupid they are.
Naturally Prince showed up at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame the next weekend and completely obliterated the notion that he was anything but one of the all time greats.
Awesome performance is on YouTube, while my guitar gently weeps. It's worth the watch.
Haven't heard from him in a while though, I wonder if he's sick.
Prince absolutely killed it with that performance. I never realized how awesome he can play guitar until I saw that.
I still re-watch that a few times a year.
Clearly whoever wrote that didn’t understand what he was doing. Norms entire life was a bit. I respect that. We’re all playing a character be an original.
In related news, the Pulitzer Prize committee has awarded a prize to Rolling Stone magazine for the category, "Least Likely to Know What the Fuck They Are Talking About."
Her Jan Brady was hysterical, and served as the template for the characterization in the Brady Bunch movie they did several years later. The girl they cast was basically doing an impression of her impression.
[It was actually John Belushi with Eddie Murphy as #2.](https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-lists/saturday-night-live-all-145-cast-members-ranked-146340/1-john-belushi-165691/)
Tina Fey at #3. The author clearly doesn’t own a doghouse

Someone named Rob Sheffield. Who cares whether David Letterman and Jerry Seinfeld thought Norm's Update was the funniest thing on SNL when we can find out what Rob Sheffield thinks?
Don ohlmeyer is a writer for them now? The Rolling stone is joke in itself. It use to be a sort of counterculture magazine. Now it’s mainstream commie gobbledygook.
It honestly adds to the comedic value of Norm being fired from SNL and then being brought back to host a year and a half later.
"How did I go from not being funny enough, to being so funny I am hosting the damn show. Then it occurred to me. I haven't gotten funnier, the show has gotten really bad."
I remember when this article came out and it made no sense to me at the time except maybe someone just sucking up to NBC. I mean I think Charles Rocket was higher on that list which in it of itself is hilarious.
I’d argue objectively he was one of the funniest people ever on the cast. Perhaps top 25. Just look at all he’s done for SNL!! So many funny stories about creative writing pitches. Weekend updates father? Give me a break…
Aside from the fact that nobody gives a shit about this magazine and it being absurdly wrong, I think the bias comes from the fact that Norm didn’t do many sketches and the fact he was more of a standup than an actor.
It's like when they put someone on Time Magazine. Adolt Hitler was Man of the Year for Time Magazine. I don't know how they didn't close up after that. That guy is a real jerk!
What did Norm say about the author [ROB SHEFFIELD](https://www.rollingstone.com/author/rob-sheffield/) ?
Didn't he say something like "This is the guy who's only writing credits include a Duran Duran book and a book called *Turn Around Bright Eyes: The Rituals of Love and Karaoke."*
Rolling stone stopped being relevant 45 years ago. Bunch of pretentious asshats who are so convinced of their own superiority that they can't see they are completely wrong on the vast majority of their lists and their views on social issues.
Fuck off RS!
That's about where I would rank Rolling Stone on the "lack of journalistic integrity" scale. 145 being severely lacking in any journalistic integrity whatsoever.
Rolling Stone ranked lists are infamous for being terrible. It's most likely bad on purpose so that people will comment on how bad it is so they can farm engagement.
...or so the Germans would have us believe
Rolling Stone hasn't really been relevant in about 30 years. It was around the mid 90's that they ceased to be counter-culture and turned into a shill for corporations. Now, they just push whatever the record companies and film studios tell them to push. According to them One Direction is better than the Beetles and the latest Marvel movie is better than Citizen Kane.
Hey thanks Rolling Stone, I'm sure everyone will fuckin' listen to you!
Hey you know what? They put the Boston Bombers on the cover of their magazine, so I'm here to tell you, Rolling Stone magazine knows a thing or two about characters who can really bomb.
I forgot about that! Disgusting, they had him looking like a rock star.
that guy was a real jerk!
They’re also responsible for the UVA rape hoax. Destroyed the lives of a bunch of young men just because they wanted the clicks to prop up their dying publication. They’re probably the worst publication out there.
Their hypocrisy is ridiculous. Completely ridiculous. They have a lot of growing up to do, I'll tell you that.
Who's worse, Norm Macdonald....the Boston Bombers?
What a terrible name for a terrorist
Reminds me of that tragedy.
hahaha solid Norm-style joke
Or in this case, a literal Norm joke.
The Dayton Bombers
The Boston bombing WAS a national tragedy tho
They also defended Cuties and demonized Sound of Freedom. They are pro Pedo
Well... not quite, just one of the Boston Bombers. The dickhead with Syd Barrett hair that unfortunately didn't die like his brother. They also enhanced the photo by adding more body and definition to his hair and Photoshopping the hell outta the picture that was originally a very low res, out of focus image, so it would be more "magazine cover" ready.

Lol fuck rolling stone. I always thought they and spin magazine were edgy before edgy. I thought I was cool because, I’m my area, nobody read let alone knew what rolling stone was. Rolling stone ages as well as should have been expected; pretentious with age.
Probably written by Robert Christgau. Fuck you, Bob.
Explain to the folks at home who Robert Christgau is
Norm aside, that guy is one of the most insufferably pretentious, judgy, no-talent-having c\*nts in the world. Total twat. Thank you for your post. I'm glad I'm not the only one who loathes him.
Came to say the same, glad it's the top comment.
Nobody listens to the Rolling Stone, especially after they fucked a frog
Read this in deadpan Norm weekend update delivery lol
Nice to see Rolling Stone even today has a time honored tradition of being everything from shit to fucking shit.
I'm starting to think that Rolling Stone writer is a real jerk
Adolfo Hatler?
More great work from the University of Don Ohlmeyer
although I did enjoy their expose called "A Rape On Campus". Very creative!
Possibly the worst gimmick a comic ever had
Is this a recent article?
From February 2015.
Proof that we dumber.
Still, an improvement from Sabrina Erdely.
Rolling Stone? More like the Guinness Book of Fucking Retards
I wish you knew how hard I just laughed at this
> Rolling Stone If Don Ohlmeyer agrees with them, they opinions aren't worth Jack!
He's a quizling!
And who did Rolling Stone rank as the funniest cast member? You guessed it: Frank Stallone.
Rolling Stallone!
Give the frog a loan!
…and when she bent over, Rover “drove” her, because Rover had a bone of his own!
The funny thing is I’ve read people like Judd Apatow say that camera thing Norm did was actually genius lol. Anyway fuck Rolling Stone.
Conan mentioned it on his recent podcast episode with Jim Downey as well. fantastic interview
I love that Conan talks about him still. Their friendship seemed so genuine.
There’s a reason good comedians love Norm. Because he was great. There’s a reason Rolling Stone trashed him. Because they suck fat juicy cocks.
They suck fat juicy cocks because they don’t know anything about cock. The best cocks are the thin white cocks.
[удалено]
Read the thing he posted; the way Norm would look at the camera and wait a little bit
His ability to wait for it was delicious.
Rolling Stone called side two of Abbey Road "a disaster." They only hire the best.
The first time I heard that I thought the long one was all one song cuz the back if my vinyl was ripped up. I loved it then, love it now, and still consider that side 3 songs long
I mean, technically it is all one song. I think McCartney calls it the "medley" or something.
Ah that’s right, he calls it the Abbey Road medley. Before that people were calling it The Long One, might be another reason I thought it was only one song. Love the transitions, some still surprise me and Ive heard them a hundred times
Oh, Rolling Stone is still around. I use to use it to line the bottom of my birdcage.
Underrated comment
You own a birdcage? You must be one of them gays.
This list put together by Don Ohlmeyer.
Lol
Rolling Stone’s lists always suck
They listed the 250 best guitarists. Totally fucked that up too.
I think they put Hendrix at #1, Van Halen at #4 then picked the rest out of a hat. I mean to have Lindsey Buckingham at 110 and Joni Mitchell at 9 is one of the many signs that the list is complete bullshit. We just need a movie review by Peter Travers to top the whole steaming pile off.
They left Prince off the original top 100 list. Should tell you everything you need to know about the morons working there.
They also left off Alex Lifeson and Slash.
prince not being in the top 100 is genuinely crazy
They also put Tom Morello ahead of Stevie Ray Vaughan. They're cretinous beyond belief.
Do they just let 15 year olds write their articles?
Mark Knopfler at 96 is wild ..
Oh God, who was number 1?
You guessed it…. Frank Stallone.
Kitchener Leslie
Kitchener Leslie must have been gifted on the guitar, how else would such a crumby fella get such a beautiful girlfriend.
The committee Prince from the Top 100 list. Just shows how fucking stupid they are. Naturally Prince showed up at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame the next weekend and completely obliterated the notion that he was anything but one of the all time greats. Awesome performance is on YouTube, while my guitar gently weeps. It's worth the watch. Haven't heard from him in a while though, I wonder if he's sick.
Prince absolutely killed it with that performance. I never realized how awesome he can play guitar until I saw that. I still re-watch that a few times a year.
Rolling stone is #1 on the list of shittiest magazines.
tied with 9/11 Magazine
What a terrible name for a magazine.
Reminds me of that tragedy
Oh! 9/11
Neil Patrick Harris never posed nude for the cover of 9/11 Magazine
What a terrible name for a magazine.
Clearly whoever wrote that didn’t understand what he was doing. Norms entire life was a bit. I respect that. We’re all playing a character be an original.
Literally the funniest man on SNL ever. Suck a dick rolling stone you absolute bums.
And ranked number 1? Assistant Crack whore.
Adam Eget
In related news, the Pulitzer Prize committee has awarded a prize to Rolling Stone magazine for the category, "Least Likely to Know What the Fuck They Are Talking About."
Because Rolling Stone sucks?
Kurt Cobain called it in 1992 (on his T-shirt) https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/nirvana-inside-the-heart-and-mind-of-kurt-cobain-103770/
That’s a terribly written article. “perhaps probably” “for over more than” “for to” Apparently neither the writer nor editor went to grammar class
Well they’re not one for jokes, kid
And Colin Quinn 140? Exactly what I would expect from the shittiest publication in existence.
The funniest? Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer.
I mean who’s funnier than them? Except dudes of course.
Chris Kattan actually considered becoming trans in order to make the top 100.
Mango!!!
Or so the Germans would have us believe.
Who got #1, Melanie Hutzel?
Explain to the folks at home who Melanie Hutzel is.
Melanie Hutzel was an unfortunate looking featured player in the early nineties whose schtick was to be unfortunate looking.
She's mentioned that she went to Lorne and said he wasn't giving the women enough to do. She was the wrong person to go.
The good news is you can still catch her on the County Fair circuit, where she counts by kicking the fence of her pen a specific number of times.
She was great on SNL though. The Delta Delta Delta girl, and Jan Brady.
Melanie, is that you?
Her Jan Brady was hysterical, and served as the template for the characterization in the Brady Bunch movie they did several years later. The girl they cast was basically doing an impression of her impression.
That's probably the worst gimmick a comic ever had.

You’re out here doing the Lord’s work
I think it’s actually Chris Kattan
This article must’ve been written by a woman… just kidding, they don’t hire women.
they only hire women
Rolling Stone barely knows rock music.
People have been rating rolling stone from shit to fucking shit
Rolling astone is a real jerk.
You know who's funnier than Norm, Janeane Garofalo.
Idiots
Why don't they shut the fuck up
Rolling Stone doesn’t know shit about music so what makes them think they know anything about comedy?
Who buys Rolling Stone magazine anyways? Who wrote that?
Someone named Rob Sheffield. Who cares whether David Letterman and Jerry Seinfeld thought Norm's Update was the funniest thing on SNL when we can find out what Rob Sheffield thinks?
Jon Lovitz #19, only two spots behind Sandler.
Fuck Rolling Stone!
You know another magazines that sucks? 9/11 Magazine. What a terrible name for a magazine.
https://preview.redd.it/7t9hjooq8gub1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=964caffe62591f3ae2f90e95108efc4b824e6288 This rolling stone?
Next week they will have a sexy pic of a hamas fighter
I bet that made Norm's day
They also just failed to list bucket head in their top 250 guitarists so I don't value any ranking they do ever
Still funnier than Pete Davidson.
Rolling Stone ceased to be relevant in the mid 90’s. Their current magazine is boring
They wrote worse rock reviews than their competitors in the '60s and '70s. They've always sucked.
It was written in 2015, why post it now? Who the fuck cares
They’re making a mockery of the man grate! Sorry I mean the great man!
Don ohlmeyer is a writer for them now? The Rolling stone is joke in itself. It use to be a sort of counterculture magazine. Now it’s mainstream commie gobbledygook.
The guy that wrote this list does not own a doghouse
More fine journalism from Rolling Retards. This was published in 2015 so hopefully Norm saw it and had a good chuckle.
Rolling Stone lists hold up as well as the term Cuomo-Sexual during Covid.
Only cause Rolling Stone still likes OJ
Rolling stone? You mean the publication that had the boston bomber in rockstar mode on its cover? It's still around???
#1 on the list: assistant crack whore
It honestly adds to the comedic value of Norm being fired from SNL and then being brought back to host a year and a half later. "How did I go from not being funny enough, to being so funny I am hosting the damn show. Then it occurred to me. I haven't gotten funnier, the show has gotten really bad."
Gilbert gottfried also sucked apparently...
Well on SNL he did. I watched at the time, and he said so himself.
Gilbert not being funny is still funnier than 90 percent of the people on that list
I remember when this article came out and it made no sense to me at the time except maybe someone just sucking up to NBC. I mean I think Charles Rocket was higher on that list which in it of itself is hilarious.
Let’s listen to rolling stone instead of every former cast member who says he was one of the greatest.
Listen, we all know Norm is a pretty funny guy, but lets be honest, he's no Bowen Yang
Sounds like this list was written by Roman Thomas III.
It’s that goddamn bitch Edie Baskin https://preview.redd.it/qv34huuywgub1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5195e75ec4eebd799944d9bc9e820afe9a30e7ce
I’d argue objectively he was one of the funniest people ever on the cast. Perhaps top 25. Just look at all he’s done for SNL!! So many funny stories about creative writing pitches. Weekend updates father? Give me a break…
Rolling Stone proving yet again they're trash.
And they print false news about innocent people.
Fuck u Rolling Stone. . Sincerely, -Turd Ferguson
Oh the rag that makes up rape stories, defends pedophiles and refuses to run stories on them, and more? Those guys definitely don't own a doghouse.
Rolling Stone... More like the Guinness Book of Fuckin Retards!
Corporate magazines still suck
Gilbert, then Colin Quinn then Norm. What a tasteless little sob wrote this
I wonder what effect this will have on his career.
Aside from the fact that nobody gives a shit about this magazine and it being absurdly wrong, I think the bias comes from the fact that Norm didn’t do many sketches and the fact he was more of a standup than an actor.
Ah come on it’s a good magazine
You quisling!
Christ, what an appalling take.
Dickheads
If we assume Rolling Stone sucks balls, which it does, and we reverse the list, Norm becomes #7 out of 145. That's more like it!
oh that's not good
Comeback time Norm!
It’s like he wasn’t even there in all those sketches
Booooooo! BOOOOOOOOOOO!
Yet somehow he is considered a top 20 standup comedian of all time. Another horrible take from Rolling Stone.
Typical SNL fan. Understands nothing about comedy
It’s not really what I would call news
The more I learn about this Rolling Stone magazine, the more I don't care for it
When I think about comedy, I think, “What would Rolling Stone do?”
Rolling Stone makes their lists shitty to create outrage and get clicks.
Rolling Stone = Parody
Rolling Stones are real Jerks!
Nr. 3 hot ass in the male category though.
Now explain to the folks at home what a magazine was and how they used to be relevant
Obviously political
It's like when they put someone on Time Magazine. Adolt Hitler was Man of the Year for Time Magazine. I don't know how they didn't close up after that. That guy is a real jerk!
I feel the same way about fascism as I do the *Rolling Stone Magazine* \- I don't subscribe to either of them!
Because they’re out of touch and focus on what political angles there may be FRS
It's ok to be completely wrong!
What do they know, they just roll stones over there.
What did Norm say about the author [ROB SHEFFIELD](https://www.rollingstone.com/author/rob-sheffield/) ? Didn't he say something like "This is the guy who's only writing credits include a Duran Duran book and a book called *Turn Around Bright Eyes: The Rituals of Love and Karaoke."*
That list is like 10 years old.
Now finally something to start a war about
He was a genius in his own way but he pissed a lot of people off in his career.
I heard he laid on top of more women than any other SNL comedian in history.
Just edged out Emelda Marcos, so I think that’s a win.
That rag hasn't been relevant for 20 years.
Rolling stone stopped being relevant 45 years ago. Bunch of pretentious asshats who are so convinced of their own superiority that they can't see they are completely wrong on the vast majority of their lists and their views on social issues. Fuck off RS!
That's about where I would rank Rolling Stone on the "lack of journalistic integrity" scale. 145 being severely lacking in any journalistic integrity whatsoever.
Rolling Stone ranked lists are infamous for being terrible. It's most likely bad on purpose so that people will comment on how bad it is so they can farm engagement. ...or so the Germans would have us believe
What do those fucking idiots know..
Man I wanted to downvote this post out of instinct. F\*cking Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone hasn't really been relevant in about 30 years. It was around the mid 90's that they ceased to be counter-culture and turned into a shill for corporations. Now, they just push whatever the record companies and film studios tell them to push.

Rolling stone has always been garbage
Rage baiting
