Artie Lange said in one of his books that during taping of this scene, Don Rickles kept roasting “Norm” instead of “Mitch”, the character’s name. He also kept throwing in roasts of Director Bob Saget the movie production and script and everybody was cracking up but they couldn’t use it obviously.
Absolutely hilarious scene. But ridiculous that how funny it is I don’t even think it cracks the top 10 for funniest scenes in this movie, it’s that good.
Mr warmth! My grandpa watched his appearances on Carson and his roasts with me when I was little. I became a lifelong fan. I wish I had gotten to see him perform live. He truly was one of the great ones.
Man, I really wanted to like that but it just fell totally flat. Just completely unoriginal try hard boring. I’m surprised. Love rickles in Kelly’s heroes
If I had a nickel for every time that Don Rickles came up today I’d have 3 nickels. Not a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened 3 times. Especially weird because I didn’t know who he was before today.
He’s the worst part of the movie. Not clever or funny, just straight cringe. “Everybody sucking sand!” Fuck off. The only funny part of this scene is when Norm says “I was laughing earlier when you were talking to his stomach.”
This is petty, but the fact that in 90 seconds he says “stop bothering people” but then also says “don’t bother anybody”… I mean why didn’t someone catch the repeated joke? Whoever directed this really failed on that one and should just drop dead.
thats comedy gold… no, no it isnt

If you had taken odds on Artie to out live Rickles Saget and Norm in 2009 you would own twitter today
Whenever I’m feeling really low and need a laugh, I put this clip on. It gets me cry-laughing every damn time.
Why don’t you get a horse and live in the mountains some place and don’t bother anybody
Crossing guard grabbing kids’ asses! Crossing guard grabbing kids’ asses!!
wasn’t there another part of this line where he names an indian chief or something? “who-maka-laka-lay-kee”
Men In Black
^who ^like ^to ^have ^sex ^with ^each ^other
“Fat, fat, FAT! When you sweat, marbles come off your ass!”
I know that’s later in the movie, but it’s still Rickles and still makes me laugh my ass off!
“Why don’t you get a horse and live in the mountains and don’t bother anybody” is my favorite insult of all time lmao!
Best Roald Dahl adaption.
I laugh every time I hear Rickles call Lange a baby gorilla
Don Rickels ~~in Dirty Work~~ is comedy gold
R.I.P. Don
R.I.P. Norm
R.I.P. Artie’s nose
Absolutely hilarious scene. But ridiculous that how funny it is I don’t even think it cracks the top 10 for funniest scenes in this movie, it’s that good.
Why does the pairing of Norm McDonald and a moth seem familiar?

SING THE SONG, BOYS!!! SING THE SONG, BOYS!!
The way he smiles and says “Whaddaya laughing at? Cause I called your friend a fat pig?”
Will never not make me laugh. The delivery, it’s just solid gold.
This is one of my favorite movies.
“I’ve never seen so many dead hookers in all my life.”
Oh Don Rickles, your comedy does not age well.
Never cared for insult comics. They just never seemed relevant or clever to me.
“Wait, you two are brothers?”
“Yeah, it’s a long story.”
“My dad boned his mom.”
“Okay, it’s a short story.”
As a millennial I never connected with the “boss threatening employee with clearly impossible punishments” trope.
[The outtakes ](https://youtu.be/wtGqK4Dqiwo?si=_SeNQT7z97nllWOZ) to this crappy sitcom he did is also gold
Rickles is a national treasure
Mr warmth! My grandpa watched his appearances on Carson and his roasts with me when I was little. I became a lifelong fan. I wish I had gotten to see him perform live. He truly was one of the great ones.
I’m not gonna look it up but I bet that guy standing next to Norm is Chris Farley’s brother.
Ever since this movie came out I’ve used “got the personality of a dead moth” to describe someone consistently
They say that in the land of the blind, the man with one eye is king. Well in the land of the skunks, the man with half a nose is king!
and
These are quality automobiles! They’re fully loaded!
They’re fully loaded with dead hookers!
Dirty Work is such a great movie.
“You’re swelling up as I talk to you”
God Rickles was amazing.
saved
Baby Gorilla

It’s all great but his throw away “you’re swelling up as I talk to you” always makes me laugh.

Look at you, you…
Fat jokes aren’t funny. Neither are racist Arab jokes.
I just re-watched dirty work. I love Norm but the movie is incredibly mediocre.
So glad to see this on here, Dirty Work is wildly underrated and this scene is incredible
Wasn’t funny at all
Is this a bot posting this? Because not a second of that is funny except Norm delivering his line.
I watched the whole clip waiting for Don Rickles to be funny and not a single bit of it landed even remotely near the ‘funny’ side of the line.
The whole time I’m thinking “some fat guy making fun of another fat guy with unfunny comments that a 4th grader would roll their eyes at”.
“Personality of a dead moth”… what a knee-slapper. How original. Look at me in stitches over here /s
Don Rickels. The only guy to continually insulted Frank Sinatra and live.
Lol. I arrived in Kuwait last night. That was a surprise blow.
