Norm Macdonald's 2015 appearance on Letterman's final Late Show, delivering a deadpan bit about Germany and its military history. Jerry Seinfeld reportedly called it Norm's best joke.

HN shares it as one of the greatest stand-up bits ever, and pulls it out whenever Germany, war or trade come up.

> But this time, the trade war is against the whole world. Reminds me of this excellent Norm Macdonald sketch [1] on Germany of which I've learned only recently. [1] ▶ this video

@Eddy_Viscosity22022 · in “Germany plans to build Europe's largest military”

As much as I think Putin's actions justify increased military power in Europe, Germany does not have a great track record as a military super power. Norm has some good points: ▶ this video

▶ this video Bit starting at :43 (Germany) will easily go down as one of the greatest stand-up bits ever written and performed. And he was the perfect guy to do it.
