Norm plays an under-achieving misfit, nitwit who's rather slow on the uptake.
Together with his faithful fellow incompetent, Artie Lange, Norm goes into the revenge business. He's something of a sadist for hire, which matches up perfectly with the masochists in the audience, willingly subjecting themselves to this mean spirited nonsense. As if Chevy Chase didn't star in enough lousy comedies of his own, Chevy hangs on these days doing cameos in someone else's rotten comedies. MacDonald who fearlessly takes credit for writing the script, was absolutely obsessed with pleasing that lowest common denominator we keep hearing about. Someone asked me a few weeks ago to list the worst movies I ever saw.
