Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
This is one of my all time favorite Norm bits where he acts like he is finding out about Hitler for the first time:
Norm: "4.20 was the birthday of Austrian born, German politician.....a fella that went by the name Adolf Hitler. There's a picture of him.....very compelling kind of a figure. Something about his eyes."
Norm: "He was a decorated veteran of WWI......HOLD THE FORT! He hated Jews?!?!?. I'm sick of these kinds of characters, we should go kill him."
Then Adam goes......"He died like 50 years ago."
Norm: "I didn't know he was sick."
Anyway I bring this up for a reason. This couple probably in their mid to late 20's came in today and were vacating. The company they hired was raping them and I told them. They had no contract or any paperwork and the moving company had upped their price like over a Grand from what they were told.
The couple was this hot black chick and this skinny British dude.
We got to talking while they were sorting out the movers and the Brit tells me Norm is his favorite comedian. So I butchered that Hitler bit to him and of course told them both what I've droned on about here: that Norm, Howard and Rock are the 3 I credit for my sense of humor.
The girl knew who Chris was but clearly didn't know him well. I then mentioned that my 3 wouldn't be who they were without the likes of Pryor and Carlin. Neither of them knew who they were. This was upsetting so I texted the girl (the unit was in her name so I had her info) George and Richard highlight reels.
That made me feel a little better.

I would think randomly talking about Hitler with strangers is not the safest path to career stability.
Haha you're right. He brought up Norm. Still probably a bad idea though.
Also they were so happy with me warning them about those scam movers I think I could have almost literally said anything and they would still have been happy with me.
They wanted 8 large to move their shit from here to San Antonio. That should be like 4.5 at absolute most but these people had all their shit boxed nicely in their unit. They told them it would only be like 2k on the phone then added 6 to that when they got to my place.
The movers used a surveyor's wheel to measure the distance from the truck to their unit. I've been working storage for 5 years and I've never seen that before. They were using that to somehow add charges even though they would be driving the shit halfway across the country.
I told the couple how I had never seen movers use that wheel before and I also told them not to let them put any of their shit in the truck before they got shit signed on paper. I have seen multiple shady movers hold people's shit hostage when they get to the new town. These movers were showing signs of being like that.
Norm is worthy of a mention every month or so.
You all remember this? I bet I've posted it before but it can never be posted enough.
The producers of the Saget told Norm to be outrageous so Norm being Norm decided to do the exact opposite and bomb on purpose with jokes from the 1950's. The audience didn't get it at all and even some comedians didn't get it. The ones that did were the real ones.
My favorite joke he did, "You may be a vegetarian but you're still full of bologna in my book".
Norm was the best!

In 1975, Mel Brooks was planning to make a Three Stooges movie starring himself, Marty Feldman and Dom DeLuise as, respectively, Moe, Larry and Curly but he scrapped the project because he didn't think Three Stooges-style gags could sustain a feature film. Instead he made Silent Movie starring himself, Feldman and DeLuise. Ah, what might have been.......
