1. "I loved when he'd send the Hello Deli guy out" In response to Reply # 0
while Dave was in a van with a walkie talking telling him how to annoy people. But I think he almost got stabbed once so they had to put an end to that.
I can't find the one where he rents a convertible with FULL INSURANCE, gets some Mountain Dew and fashion models and runs the car through the car was with the top down.

I used to stay up late cause they used to show kung fu movies after Letterman went off (east coast, so that was like 1:30am). Whenever I'd hear that song start up I'd just crack up laughing
We covered by the Blood which never loose it's power
Music: Yeah Kenny,, Kennt The gardner is hear Bringing us plants and good cheer
Yeah Kenny, you know love's a crazy game You can fertilize plants but you can't water your heart
Making it grow, making it work, working it out, having it all
Yeah Kenny, Kenny the Gardner is Here Lookout that gardener is here!!!

Not only is that the funniest Norm has been in years (that Germany riff is amazing), but then he hit me right in the fuckin' feels. I've never seen him get emotional like that.
Dave gets called a bitch. Dave gets slipped a mickey. Dave gets called Jessica Tandy. TWICE.
and u know that thing Dave does when he genuinely thinks a guest is hilarious and he giggles like a kid? he pretty much does that constantly through most of these segments lol. it's def one of the more recent bits but holy shit it's up there with my favs.

27. "Finale was super low-key, but great." In response to Reply # 0 Thu May-21-15 07:42 AM by stravinskian
I guess Carson's finale was also basically a clip show.
They picked great clips. That Taco Bell bit is one of the things that immediately comes to mind when I try to think of the funniest segments on the show.
I had forgotten about those segments with kids, but they were great.
Touching to see Regina and Harry in the audience. Harry looked so annoyed at dad pointing a camera at him.
The top ten list was fun. The Julia Louis-Dreyfus one will be the clip everyone plays, I guess.
The behind the scenes video was amazing. I've watched this show for a quarter of a century, and never had a good idea of the process behind it.
Seemed odd to see the Foo Fighters as the last musical act, especially after a name as big as Bob Dylan last night. But I'd forgotten the story about the heart surgery and the first show back.
Really satisfying sendoff. I shouldn't be okay with this show coming to an end. But they made it feel right.

Yeah, I knew he was a fan (and I've got nothing against them, of course). Just surprised me that they'd be the only "proper" guest on the final show, until he reminded us of that history.
31. "it was a really outstanding send-off" In response to Reply # 27
it was beyond perfect that they saved taco bell for last. That is a hall of fame segment.
Loved the Dave with kids segment too - that was something I really could have forgotten about in all of this appreciation/nostalgia. "Why don't you hold it since you are already there" and the kid shrugging and having no answer to the question... wonderful.
That day in the life thing was pure joy. Imagine challenging Dave to a contest to determine who is better at shooting grapes.
What a closing montage too... So much stuff to look up and rewatch, for years and years to come.
