There is something about his sarcastic and I'd say "self aware" delivery that makes him so funny. He was almost funnier on weekend update with bad material, because he was also almost laughing at how dumb it was. Same as in e.g. Dirty Work, which was a throwaway movie but he still ends up being funny just because he's Norm Macdonald. I think that's what let's him get away with telling these long rambling jokes that almost nobody else could deliver in a funny way, and still be entertaining
