Norman "Norm" Peterson (born: circa 1978 [age 41-42]) better known online as NormsBarStool. He joined YouTube in May 2009 and left in May 2010, just over a year after joining. He then made a brief return in October 2010 to tell everyone about his departure. In December 2011, he announced his return in the new year.
Biography and Personality[]
He has a wife named Vera (in one video, Norm said that people would finally be able to see Vera; unfortunately, they never did). His first appearance was on May 6, 2009.
He made several videos and he gained many haters, as well as supporters. He was often trolled because of his weight. On August 4, 2009, he made a profanity-laced video shouting and ranting about the amount of trolling he was getting. Later on, Ray William Johnson included it on Equals Three. As of February 2012, the video has over 1.5 million views.
Other videos that Norm made included: A role play of him getting abducted by aliens and several rants and videos about his life.
In May 2010, Norm left YouTube without telling anybody. In this time, he became a hippie. Because of his unannounced absence, people started to believe that he was dead (quite similar to CopperCab). This rumor was laid to rest in October 2010 when Norm announced that he had left YouTube due to becoming a hippie.
In December 2011, he posted a bulletin saying that he's "getting the itch to make videos again" and he continued to say that he'll probably post a new video in December or January.
On January 21, 2012, Norm uploaded a new video saying that he's lost 125lbs and he'll continue to make videos. Since then, he had begun to make videos on a regular basis. Since then, no new videos have been uploaded since December 8, 2012.
