Mark Normand is known for his awkward and introverted persona. That explains why he dislikes chatty Uber drivers, and people in general. Even his standup sets begin with a weirdly raised fist as he awkwardly says “Comedy!” before he digs into the good stuff on his menu. Mark’s unhinged personality becomes even more fun to watch when he steps out (an introvert’s biggest fear) onto the streets of New York city and interacts with passersby. Sometimes he’s cosplaying as a cop who’s barely sober. Other times, he’s a doorman opening doors for people, whether they need it or not.

Ahead of his new special Soup To Nuts that streams on 25th July on Netflix, we’ve put together this list of videos that prove that Normand rules both the stage and the streets, like a G. From Chief Queef to Mark Doorman, we’ve got all our favourite Mark Normand excursions into the Great Outside.

Chief Queef

If skateboarding and being a hot couple are crimes, Chief Queef will arrest you. Smoking pure pot and making crimes up as he skateboards, Mark takes to the streets of New York dressed up as a cop. 

Chief Queef At St Paddy’s Day Parade

Chief Queef is never sober on duty. Mark goes around drinking and vibing with Irish folks celebrating St. Paddy’s Day Parade in New York. From playful banter with parade-goers to humorous observations about holiday traditions, Mark’s Irish-inspired jokes will leave you in stitches.

Trump Arraignment Syndrome with Chief Queef!

Amid the political chaos and war of words between Donald Trump supporters and his opponents, Chief Queef comes to the rescue with punchlines (and booze) to calm the environment. Navigating a politically charged crowd can be a challenging task, but Mark ensures the comedy shines through without alienating viewers or protestors with differing opinions.

Occupy Wall Street

Mark Normand tries to find out what people’s demands are at the movement. While the video is primarily comedic, it doesn’t overlook the significance of Occupy Wall Street as a social movement. Mark cleverly weaves in a few moments of reflection even as he asks the protestors silly unrelated questions.

Asking NYC about Gay Marriage

This video showcases Mark Normand cruising New York streets to discuss a topical issue from a bygone era. His quick wit is on full display as he engages with New Yorkers about the then-sensitive subject of gay marriage, which required courage and tact. Watch Mark handle a hot-button issue with his trademark finesse.

Asking ppl on the street in NYC about COIVD!

Everything was shut down during the coronavirus pandemic but what hurt Mark the most was the shutting down of comedy clubs in New York. That didn’t stop him from telling jokes though. In this video, Mark goes out on the streets to find an audience for his humour, willing or otherwise. Some of them were a difficult crowd, and some of them were high. Watch to see how it goes down.

MARK DOORMAN

Everybody needs some extra cash sometimes. In this one, Mark Normand takes up the job of a doorman as a side gig—opening doors to all sorts of possible reactions from people (pun intended). He opens the doors of a sex shop, and catches up with a fellow doorman and a horse during his working hours. Later, he’s back to his main job—good ol’ joke-telling on stage.

Comedians in Museums with Mark Normand and Joe List

If you’re a fan of both comedy and culture, this one is the perfect treat for you! In this side-splitting video, Mark Normand and Joe List visit a museum, turning the traditional visit into an uproarious experience. With their playful camaraderie, they even manage to crack up the museum guide with their dumb ideas about the historical relevance of certain artifacts.

Storming The Capitol

Don’t fall for the title, folks! Normand isn’t actually storming the capitol here, he’s just playing around (literally). He climbs up on the top of a cannon and tries to upgrade from skateboards to Segways. The comedian becomes a tour guide and explores the different areas in and around the Capitol building.

Normand’s Land!

All introverts loved the pandemic because social interactions were minimised, but for Mark there was an added bonus: he had the whole of New York City for himself. As the title goes, it was Normand’s Land. He took advantage and did anything and everything out on the streets—from riding the Wall Street bull to getting a haircut out in the open. There’s no holding back.
