To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Norm Macdonald. His humour is extremely subtle, and without a witty appreciation of Norm’s setup and delivery most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Norm’s lackadaisical tone, which is deftly woven into his characterisation onstage. His fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people like Tomlinson who dislike Norm Macdonald truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Norm’s existential catchphrase "I’m not gay, I’m deeply closeted," which itself is a allegorical treatise of Jungian Philosophy’s take on the human condition. I'm smirking right now just imagining that pepperoni eating simpleton scratching his head in confusion as Norm’s genius wit unfolds itself in front of him. What a fat fool.. how I pity him…
