Reception
Jacob Weindling of Splinter called it "bigoted babybrained bullshit" and "a perfect window into the low-grade conservative comedian mind".
Writing for UnHerd, Gareth Roberts praised the "well designed" characters and "decent voice performances", but otherwise criticized the show, saying "it is not just terrible but flesh-creepingly awful. The jokes, such as they are, all crash like bags of tools being dropped down a lift shaft".
AI Livestreams
On September 10th, 2026, Various AI live streams were held and are being held on the website "enterglitch.com/" as part of their creator program. The live stream allows for viewers to create their own New Norm episodes by sending suggestions in chat but has had issues as people are suggesting topics such as "make norms belly big and gassy" or "make norm eat poop", with many of these getting accepted. This has led to most of these live streams to only be a 10-20 minutes long stream. These usually happen every 30 minutes on the website.
